County Game Warden Charles Dan

for the capture of Dugull Bell, living
on Anchor street, River Rouge. The
other morning Charles went out to
round up some duck hunters Down
the road near the marshlanGs he saw
Bell making away with mud hen. He
gave chase. OyertaIing Dugull, that
worthy hunter did the only thing left
for him to do-leaped into the bog.
Daniels 200 pounds didn't permit him
to follow. So he sat down on the
bank and waited.
Out in the bog, waist deep, stood
Dugull. On the bank, lazily smoking,
the warden smiled as he saw an army
of mosquitoes approaching. He COW
cred his head with the automobile
robe. Under cover he could hear the
buzzing and Imagine the rest. When
the buzzing ceased he looked at Du-
gull. Big welts covered his face, neck
and hands. He didn't say a word.
Daniel waited. Two hours later Bell
said, I've had enough" He came
out of the bog, was arrested and later
released on his promise to appear in

TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known in the
United States.

Tea, not from leaves, but from the
flowers alone of the plant, is rarely en-
countered in commerce. The petals,
stamens, ETC., are sun dried, and the
resulting tea is of a rich, deep brown
hue of peculiarly delicate odor, and
gives a pale amber colored infusion
rather more astringent in taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf.
The taste for it is an acquired one,
and even if this tea could be made
commercially possible, it is doubtful if
it would ever become popular.
The American tea trade could ad-
vantageously take a suggestion from
the brick tea of the far east. In our
country, the tea dust, some of which
is good quality, is not properly
utilized. In Europe it is a regular
article OF trade, and it is advertised
and sold as tea dust. In America it is
sold to thousands of cheap restau-
rants, who make from it the mixture
of tanic acid, sugar and boiled milk
which they sell as tea" If, as in the
orient, this dust was compressed into
bricks, good tea could be made from

Kaiser carefuI Of Details.

A Hamburg paper tells this story
about the kaiser's attention to detail:
Shortly after his arrival at Swine
munde the kaiser was standing on the
bridge of the Hohenzollern, when he
noticed that the sentry, a member of
the Stettiner Royal Grenadiers, on
duty near the customs officer, wore
a vtopcoat, but had his trousers over
his boots. The kaiser shouted to the
lieutenant of the guard: Lieutenant,
when topcoats are worn the trousers
must be worn inside the boots The
officer, an extremely youthful fellow,
became confused and did not know
what to say, and the emperor called
in louder tones: Lieutenant, / again
call your attention to the regulation
boots must be worn over the trou-
sers by men who wear topcoats.' The
command then few from post to post
and pedestrians wondered why the
soldiers suddenly became busy with
their boots.

Selfish. HeInless Women.

The helpless woman is the most
preeminently selfish of all women.
The worst of it is that it is very
hard selflshness to fight against, as
she is usually sweet-tempered in her
tyranny. In her home life before mar.
riage she is always the one who gets
up last in the morning and shirks
work all day long.
Today, however, men are beginning
to realize that the .self-reliant girl is
not necessarily unfeminine, and that
she makes a better friend or wife
than the girl who is sweet and help
less. The helpless woman is draw
back to her husband from the start

One OF the greatest triumphs of

dread enemy Tumor,
The growth of a tumor is so in
sidious that frequently its presence

accompanied by unusual pain, from
