FOOLED Hi COLONEL.

The Way Paddy Brannigan 0utma-
neuvered His Superior.
The colonel. or "Old Daddy" as he
vas usually called, had a habit Of
strolling round the camps at most M
seasonable hours. Sentries had to be
continually on the alert, tor nothing
would have given "Old Daddy great
er satisfaction than to have pounced
on some luckless one who might think
the midnight hours suitable for q quiet
snooze
Paddy Brannigan made that mistake
once. There in the quiet moonlight
he sat, all unconscious Of the coloneps
presence, his rifle laid against the tent,
himself buried in slumber. Gently the
rifle was lifted from its place. But
some good angel awoke Paddy in time
to see the colonel making his way to
the guard rent. Paddy missed his rifle
ut once and followed the colonel with
the caution Of a prairie cat.
Outside the guard tent stood the
wooden rack which held the rifles Of
the guard. and into it "Old Daddy" plac-
ed Paddy's rifle. himself entering the
tent to call the sergeant in charge.
This was Paddy's opportunity. he
grabbed his rifle and was back at his
post in an instant. The colonel brought
the sergeant outside and ordered him
to count the rifles.
GAN correct, sir" said the sergeant.
Nothing Of the sort. There is an ex-
ira rifle there. That l am certain of.
for I put it there myself"
II beg your pardon. sir. but the num-
Der is quite correct" again replied the
somewhat amazed sergeant.
"Come with income with me this
instant, and I'll soon let you see what
I mean"
The sergeant followed his chief. won
dering what vas going to happen.
Halt! Who goes there?" rang out
clear and sharp in the night air from
the now wideawake Paddy.
This was more than "Old Daddy"
had ever dreamed of. For n moment he
was paralyzed. Then he marched
straight up to Paddy, gazed into his
sweetly innocent face and, with a
"Well. Pm bowed" turned on his heel

FAILING HAIR STOPPED

Badness Cured BY Destroying the Para-
site Germ that Causes It
Badness follows falling hair, falling
hair follows dandruf; and dandruff is the
result of agerm digging its way into the
scalp to the root of the hair where it saps
the vitality Of the hair. To destroy that
germ is to prevent as we'll as cure dan
druf, falling hair, and, lastly, badness.
There is only one preparation known to
do that, Newbro's Herpicide, an entirely
new. scientific discovery. Wherever it
has been tried it has proven wonderfully
successful. 1t can't be otherwise, be-
cause it utterly destroys the dandruff
germ. "You destroy the cause, you re-
move the effect"

Anecdotes without end are told of
feats and intelligence of the lower
animals, but very few careful expert
ments have been made to determine
just what they can really do. In this
direction DR.. E. L. Thorndike. of CO.
lumbar university, seems to have
done the best work. He has pub
lished experiments showing that
dogs, cats and chicks not only do not
reason, but only learn as it were by
chance. They cannot be really
taught even the smallest tricks. He
thinks that monkeys may be included
with man in a special mental genus,
owing especially to their enjoyment
of physical and mental activity. They
cannot, however, learn by seeing
other animals do the same thing or
by being put through the movements.
In spite of the common notion to the
contrary, they do not really initiate

FOUND TO BE BIG TASK.
mittee of National Civic Fed
Grafton Called.

New York, Dec. Solicitors to each
member of the executive committee
are being sent out by Ralph M. Eas-
ley, secretary of the National Civic
Federation, requesting them to fix a
date between January Is and
February Is to take action on the re-
, port of the subcommittee appointed
some time ago to arrange plan of
proceeding with regard to strikes and
lockouts. In the antime, Mr.. Eas-
ley says, the subcommittee will meet
next week and agree on plan, both
committees being anxious to have the
duties of the industrial commission of
the federation with reference to ar
bitrating strikes and lockouts defined
in such way that it will be ready to
act at once when called on. Mr.. Eas-
ley has issued the following state
ment:
! 1.-The magnitude Of the work before the
industrial commission Of the federation
renders 1t necessary to set some limit as
to Its duties and responsibilities. The
cordial feeling shown on all sides at the
convention conyirces me that this depart
ment of the federation is going to have
great deal to do. and the sooner the scope
Of its duties is defined the better 1t would
be impossible for the federation to attempt
arbitration in every little strike. Strikes
will occur in spite of any attempt to stop
them. but we propose to take strikes of
| national unions In hand, which, if contin-
ued. would inconvenience the entire COM
munlty. l have not the slightest doubt
that the industrial commission of the Civic
federation will be able to lessen the num-
Der of strikes very materially, and prob
ably prevent strikes of great magnitude,
| such as the coal strike, for instance"

n e e. 1t is
true; there are two reasons for it.:
one creditable to US, one at least not
discreditable.
The creditable reason is that the
high-class English actor has at home
an audience every member of which
is educated and "in the know" The
poor and the uneducated do not go
to the same theaters at all. The line
of demarcation Is much more deeply
drawn than in New York. Here lots
of people without education have
prospered and they deem it their
duty to see the best things upon the
stage.
That introduces the second reason:
In London, with such an audience
as the fashionable actor there has,
every allusion to social conditions is
understood, and even the English
accent" presents no difficulties to
those who use 1t Themselves. Here
illusions to Piccadilly and to sadler's
Wells are not understood except by
those who have had time to read q
great deal; and as for accent, the
average New Yorker wants libretto
when Sir Henry Irving says: EFT
fiven twent-eeyurrs."
What's the result? The actor in
sensibly takes pains to make his al
fusion plain to those who do not
readily catch them. He does lose
somewhat of his touch-and-go del
icacy. He can't help it. 1 have seen
and heard the English actor before
and after" and l know that the COM
plant has justice.

which cemented the stones of their

the principal ingredient of English
mortar is street scrapings. says a Lon

being genera, nobody wrote it down,
and in time, as the Romans shifte d
their building upon slaves and foreign
ers. the recipe of their mortar was lost.
30 far it has not been discovered,
though the secret of it would be I'M

lasts the very stones which it joins.

Edith Kingdom, an actress in the
DAILY company, Jay Gould was op-
posed, but was soon won over by the
lovable character and high repute of
his new daughter-in-law, who was in
every way fine woman.
But he did not care to see the ex-
pertinent repeated, and made his ia
nous will creating family council
without whose consent none of the
members could marry save by for
feiting its Inheritance. No opposi-
ton was made by the council when
Edwin Gould married the daughter of

clans of Gen. Grant at Mt. McGreg-

who had worked her way from

lamentations now.
