TEETH THAT WE'RE USELESS
Puzzle to the Man Who Had Sud-
denly Sustained the Loss
of Them.

Harry Leon Wilson, author of The
Spenders," was domiciled for summer
in Connecticut with colony of artiBts
and writer's, all of whom had to go into
the city every day, relates the Saturday
Evening Post.
Wilson was doing nothing but loaf
ing. He loafed artistically, and from
time 70 time met and had fun with
some of the natives OF the place. One
day he found two men in the road who
seemed congenial, and he struck up an
acquaintance with them. He proposed
a drive and they got surrey and two
horses
Can you driver" asked Wilson.
Sure" one of his sudden friends re-
piled, Il am fine driver"
They got aboard and started down
the road. Before they had gone half a
mile the team was frightened by a
passing automobile and ran away. The
driver valiantly steered the horses
into telegraph pole and Wilson and
his two friends were thrown helter-
SHELTER into the road.
Wilson slowly gathered himself to-
gethes. One Of his friends was sitting
in the ditch rubbing this bruises and
the other stood in the middle of the
road gazing in fearful misery at two
front teeth which he held In the palm
OF his hand.
Pretty lucky escape, wasn't it?'
asked Wilson, for want of something
better to say.
YES replied the man with the
teeth, weeping afresh, but please, oh,
please, tell rue, what shall l do with
these?"

LoNDoN's HuMoR AND FUN
People Of All Glasses Are nstantly
Bubbling Over with Light
Bits of Speech.

Mention has been made of the gay
and careless nature of the Partisan.
Has anyone except true-born Lon
doner ever observed the humor and
fun which lie in great masses among
the people of London? w. w. Jacobs
in modern days has depicted some of
this in special particulars. Dickens,
above all writer's, most faithfully por-
trayed many phases of 1t. Thackeray
has dealt with 1t in manner not like
ly to be repeated.
But all three authors do not col
lectively make up the mass of Lon
don humor 1t is everywhere. 1t peeps
out with drivers OF public vehicles
who use their horses as friends from
whom to draw inspiration for theii
sallies of humor, and one wonders
what will become of all this when the
horseless vehicle is the universal mode
of vehicular traction. Surely the man
who turns a handle is not the same
as the man who holds the reins and
can not get out of electricity and pc.
troleum what has been got out of the
pulsations Of horses.
It comes to us from the railway por-
tiers and servants who keep at bay the
troublesome multitude by deftly turn
ing into broad farce events which be-
gin seriously. 1t comes, too, from
hotel and restaurant walters, who see
enough of the grim humors of life to
} become an almost endless source of
incniratiop Rut II iS also anna rent on
the surface. Butcher boy and baker
boy and shop boy are full of it. They
carry their goods along in happy ig-
norance of the sport they give to those
who can note the humorous in life.
And the costermonger and itinerant
dealer, to be met with almost every
where, are special products of London
who can not fail to attract.
| One does moi. quite meet the counter
parts of these people in Paris. Those
who take their place there are not SO
distinctive and partake more of the
| characteristics of the average Partisan
They send out, therefore, to the OBJ
server oniy what the average Partisan
sends out, and DO not stand apart as
types of what the city can do in the
way of carrying on the humors of the
time. Some day, perhaps, there will
arise greater humorist in London
who will penetrate what London pro.
duces in this respect, and when this
shall happen London will appear {
happier and more genial place than Ii
commonly supposed.

HARD LESSON IN SPELLING
Exercise in Dictation Submitted to
London School Is Some
what Difficult

Students in a London school were
recently asked to write this from die
tation: "a gluttonous sibyl with her
glutinous hand complacently seized a
sieve. phthiscal ichneumon, a no.
ticeable supercilious irascible and Gym
ical sergeant, an embarrassed and ha-
raised chrysalis, shrieking sheik, q
complainant proselyte and an anony-
nous chroysolite. These all suddenly
disappeared down her receptive ESQ.,
phagus. She simply said: Pugh! not
saccharine!
"She then transferred billion of
bilious mosquitoes, an unstable bsu-
quet of fuchsias, lilies, dahIias, hya-
cinths and phlox, a liquefied bdellium,

MARVEL OF ENGINEERING.
Great Smokestack at Butte, Mon
tana, Is a Titan Among Tall
Chimneys.

Out at Butte, Mont, where the great
stamping mills and accommodating
works have turned the mountain city
into titanic inferno of tall chimneys
belching black and sulphurous fumes,
stands one tremendous tower, the top
of which is $50 feet above the ground,
says the Mechanical World.
When its erection was planned the
first idea was to build 1t of brick. That
would have required thickness of IL
OF 16 feet of masonry at its base. But
a construction engineer from Chicago
was called into consultation. He pro-
posed that the huge chimney be built
of concrete and, with some misgivings,
the plan was adopted.
He prepared foundation SIX feet
deep, 12x12, of concrete, with a num-
Der of steel reinforcing rods. Begin
ming at the ground level, he carried
two thin concrete shells upward for
100 feet. The outer one is only nine
inches in thickness. while, separated
by four inches OF space from this, is
an inner shell five inches thick. At
height of 100 feet these two unite into
a single seven-inch shell of concrete.
which extends skyward until the vast
height Of $50 feet is reached.
This chimney, many feet higher
than our modern city sky scrapers, is
therefore composed of but IA inches of
concrete at the base and half that
amount for the upper $50 feet. It is
not of plain concrete. but is reinforced
both horizontally and vertically with
number of small steel rods, which
were held in place until the concrete
had been deposited around them, max
ing reinforced concrete body SUI
perior in every way to both steel and
brick masonry. There are in the Unit
ed States scores of these wonderful
:himneys.

Great Inkslinger.

James B. Reynolds, of Boston, has
been assistant secretary of the United
States treasury for Is months and in
all that time has signed his name
somewhere close to 100000 times. Hiy
signature is rather fanciful charae-
ter and consequently he uses ink by
the gallon. AS rule, he uses up
three fountain pens in day. During
hot spell Of weather at one time H.
600 Indian warrants came in. They
had to be signed. The other assistant
secretaries were on their vacations
and Jimmie" signed them, the whole
$1,000. He lost n pounds and soured

TAKE PORTABLE HOUSES.
Iron Homes Now Go as Part OF the
Equipment Of Camping
Parties.

Chicago is not only furnishing the
thousand and one resorts in Michigan
and Wisconsin with people enough to
afford living, but it is sending to
lake and mountain the portable houses
to live in, says the News. Nowadays
when a Chicagoan makes ready to go
away on his vacation, literally he may
told up an iron house and steal away
where there is nothing but forests
and fish. He may almost put his
cabin In his suit case.
A Ravenswood man Is at work ON
the portable cabins. The frames of
the cabins are made Of angle bars,
and the sides and the roof are Of cor
lrugated galvanized iron Some of the
Iron houses are planned with six
rooms and latticed porch. They
weigh from a ton up and cost from
f125 to $500. They are screwed to-
gether on the grassy sward to see
that every part fits all right, and then
they are taken apart and shipped In
the knockdown. The other day one
Of the Chicago iron cabins was shipped
out to the Grand Canyon of the Colo
RADIO, and another will be set up on
one of the mountain sides of Estes
park, Colorado. Each cabin is fitted
with good floor and other con-.
veniences. If an owner becomes
weary Of locality he may take down
his house and move away with It.
One of these cabins is veritable bomb
proof. indeed 1t is bear proof, for no
specimen of the bruin tribe would be
able to eat his way into one.
Some of the cabins are fitted with
wooden sides, but whether they are Of
iron or wood they have windows and
good-fitting doors.

WIFE OF ZION LEADER DIES

Chicago, May 12.-Mrs. Ruth Cantell,
wife of Overseer Harry Eugene Can
tell, died Thursday night at Zion City
in childbirth. No medical services
were given the suffering woman, who
expired in agony, surrounded by pray
ing elders.
Overseer Cantell and his wife came
to Zion City last February from Eng

Zionites on the British isles. 1t was
the desire of Mrs. Cantell that the
child should be born in the United
States, and arrangements were made
forthwith to take up residence in
Zion City.
The death of Mrs. Cantell is being
used by Voliva's enemies as an argu-
ment against him. Attorney Emil e.

The boat containing Miss Ogden and
Thornburg went through break in
the stone curbing of the river dam.
The empty boat, bottom up, was dis.
covered floating in the troubled water
below the dam. Other members OF
the party reached the spot a few mo.
ments later, but both had disappeared,
Mr.. Thornburg was senior medic,
his home being in Linden, Iowa. His
father is a former treasurer Of Dallas
