He Knew IL All,


Oh once there lived upon this earth,
In long forgotten land
man VINO vowed that women
lie had learned to understand
He wrote down all their qualities.
And by the rule of three
lie managed to evolve at last
n WonderOus theory!
lie knew when they would laugh or
cry
He only had to count
lie knew when they would smile or
sigh,
lie knew not only when. but why,
And the exact amount!
lie knew just what n woman meant
This scholar so astute,--
When she called pins magnificent
And baby hippos cute"
lie knew just when her no meant yes;
lie knew, indced-oh pause.-
tie knew the magic meaning
OF the little word because"
Hc knew it ALL or thought he did
Oh comedy of life
Until one day he married
A delightful little wife.
Alas Alack. oh. mercy me!
Now what do YOU suppose?
She wouldn't live by rule OF three
She laughed at all his theory
And led him by the nose

Oldest German Is Gaspard Griesser.

The senior inhabitant of the Ger
man empire is an old man named Gas
pard Griesser, who lives in the village
of Lorsch, in Hesse.
He does not know his exact age, be-
cause the registers of the village do
not go as far back as 1898, the year
in which he was born; but the rec"
ords of the parish church prove that
he was baptized in December of that
year, so that he is now certainly Ill
years Of age.
Gaspard can see, hear and eat we'll
and can walk without support. He
spends his days smoking his pipe and
he has never left his native village.

was said that the STANDARD oil com

past, and let the roads fight out their
own battle for the big company. While
it assumed the dog-in-the.manger attl.

The fact that the Standard is going TO

marking a radical departure from the
policy it has followed up to this time.
Importance Of the Case.
The importance Of the contest, which
is 20 be waged before the interstate
commerce commission, Is indicated by
the fact that in the fields outside Of
the West $4,000, 600 gallons Of oil are
produced, while in the Texas field the
production possible amounts TO 10000
600 gallons. Some OF the facts which
the STANDARD Oil company and the de-
fendant railroad companies viii have
to meet are said to be BIT stin. The
claim OF the complaint in brief, is that
the railroad rates southwark into the
territory OF the independent producers
OF Texas are entirely disproportionate
to the rates Cor the same haul north
