There is q good story known to the
elect of newspaper circles, but beyond
the precincts of the craft entirely hid
den. for 1t concerns a former star In
the journalistic world who has now re-
tired to the more peaceful sphere OF
home life. To begin with, let II be
known that the proper pronoun TO be
used In this anecdote IL 'she."
Not long ago the columns OF print
that appeared under her name were
eagerly sought as being the very salt OIL

her work at least, and everybody hung
upon her written words as oracles.
The enyied Of all her sister craftsmen
OF the pad and the admired OF every
newspaper man from managing editor
to cub, this lady held supreme sway
as long as the spirit moved her.
But in one way she was a terror to
the business office. Nobody could put
in an expense account OF such ampii-

When her expense account went into
the business office at the end OF the
week there was this item which caused
the business manager to sit up and
take notice:
"A ball gown, S7b."
Well. the business Office would mol

Natural Cure For Rheumatism.

There Is a wonderful grotto at Mon

to be an infallible cure for rheuma'

we're quarrying for lime when they dis
covered the grotto, and its healing pow

true character. The great bulk OF my
countrymen are intensely INDUSTRIOUS
They work very vigorously and during
much longer hours than in nearly any

notion that Is widely cherished regard

insincere people. The falsity of this IS
evident to any student of Spanish MS

Legend of Peculiar Plant That
Grows In Tibet.
There is a legend about a tree OF
Tibet. called the tree OF 1OOOO In
ages" which reads like this;
Far away in the dreary land Of Am
DO. in Tibet, is a green valley In which,
in a Tartar tent, was born a wonder
ful bow named Tsong Kaba. From bis
birth he had long white beard and
flowing hair and could speak perfectly
bis native tongue.
His manners were majestic, and bis
words were full Of wisdom. When he
was three years old he resolved to cut
off his hair and live solitary life. sc
his mother shaved his head and threw
his long, flowing locks upon the ground
outside their tent door. From his hall
sprang the wonderful tree.
Tsong Kaba lived many years, die
countless good deeds and at last died
But the tree which had grown up from
his hair lived, and they called 1t 1.-THE
tree Of 10000 images" This was Ions
before the Christian era, but 1t Is the
testimony of the French missionaries
that the tree lives yet. The leaves arr
always green. The wood Is OF red

The bark Of the tree is marked will

Madison. Wis, Aug. 1s.-EXpert owen
of the Baltimore Surety company, VINO IS
conducting an examination of State treas
urer Kempf's books, has discovered an
other alleged instance of the looseness
with which the affairs of the office have
been administered.
Last September the state land commits
sioners transferred from the state normal
school fund to the state drainage fund
the sum of $1,000.
The law provided that if there is no
available money in the drainage fund the
land commissioner may borrow money
from any unemployed trust funds in the
treasury and pay it back from the re-
ceipts from the drainage fund, but as the
state land legislation of the last four
years virtually cut off all receipts from
the state drainage fund, Expert Owen
wanted to know how this loan of $1,000
was to be made.
After a hasty consultation the land COM
missioners retransferred the $1,000, with
interest amounting to $25S.11, from the
drainage fund to the normal school fund.
