THAT HANDSOME CHARLIE DORMICHAEL

My! He's the handsomest man
ever saw in my life!" declared the
woman in the pink waist Wouldn't
he be gorgeous on the stage?"
Charlie is rather good looking" as
serted her partner, glancing across to
the table where Charles T. Dormichael
was trumping aces.
rs he married." asked the pink
wasted woman, who was guest of
the whist club for the first time.
Il should rather say mott" volun-
teered the other man at the table.
Charlie isn't a marrying man."
''He is probably waiting to meet his
IDEAL" said the woman sentimentally,
throwing down card without the for
mality Of glancing at it.
did you intend to play the jack of
clubs?" demanded her partner sternly.
"Oh-did | play that? Why the
idea! | don't see how | ever made
such stupid blunder!"
'Ier mind was on the king Of
hearts" laughed the other woman at
the table Really my dear, it won't
do you a bit of good, because ever
and ever SO many stunning girls have
tried to get him-but he's too cute
for all of EN-"
you are sweet to give me the ben
eft of your own experience" said the
pink-waist woman gently. II would
love to see the girl that finally gets
him." she added to the man next to
her.
But no one ever will get the hooks
on Charlie" protested the man. why,
he wouldn't marry the queen of Sheba
if she were waiting at the church,"
well, l never saw grander eyes in
a mans head" sighed the pink waists
wearer "The woman that gets him
will be lucky"
She'll be lucky if she does" retort-
ed the man opposite. 'But Charles
having too good a time and you bet
he knows when he's well Off"
81 hope she'll be worthy of him."
persisted the woman. cor course,
she'll be a beauty and an heiress-and
clever A man like that wouldn't look
at anything less!"
"YOu don't know Charlie. He
wouldn't consider anyone seriously
| don't care who she is" argued the
man. Il tell you Charlie isn't a mar
rying mani"
THE woman doesn't live who can
get that hard-shelled bachelor" agreed
the other man stOutly.
rs it my play again? Oh, DEAR"
frowned the woman in the pink waist.
"Oh-look! Look Isn't he grand
when he smiles?"
You've trumped my trick!" re-
preached her partner YEARLY.
There was a well-defined sneer on
Charlie Dormichaers handsome face
and the newspaper in his hand seemed
to be responsible for it.
Hello, Charlie" greeted a club
friend, dropping into the vacant chair
beside him. "Whacher looking so
aisgusted about?'
Charlie motioned to a waiter and
gave an order before he explained and
then he merely passed over the paper
with his thumb marking the obnoxi-
Gus paragraph.
The other man whistled.
Your old friend Larkins, isn't it?"
he sympathized You'll miss having
him about"
Yes-Lark and have hit it off to-
gether for a good many years" sighed
Charlie. But it's all overt"
No, casual listener, good old Lar
kins hadn't passed away-they were
merely referring to his marriage.

Do not forget that now is good
time to cover the stubble field with
manure. 10 not pile the manure in
heaps, as is the practice in some Sec
lions of the country. When in heaps
the materials ferment and much Of
the nitrogen passes off into the air.
Spread it out evenly over the field and
leave till ready to plow. No fertility
will evaporate from the manure when
It is net in heaps large enough to heat.

While not fond of the water, rabbits

Manila Rope.

A Manila rope, properly laid and
fabricated, is as strong, weight for
weight, as steel; that is, a steel rod
weighs about eight times as much as
a manila rope of the same diameter,
and has about eight times the
strength, the strengths being proper
toned to the weights. When used
for transmission purposes it has been
found that a manila rope one inch in
diameter is equal to a double leather
belt two five-eights inches in width,
so that three such ropes are very
nearly equal to an eight-inch double
belt. A two-inch rope, says Cas-
sier's Magazine, will transmit as much
power as a ten-inch leather belt,
while the loss from stiffness and
creep r estimated as only about one
half with the rope what they are with
the belt.

The Lightning Rod.

The lightning rod was invented by
Benjamin Franklin in 1852, to arrest
the electricity of the thunder. When
the information of the discovery
reached Rabbi Saul Katzenellenbogen,
of wilma. he said that the theory vas
not new, because it was already known
in Talmudic times, and he showed a
passage in the Tosefta (third century,
where it says that "On Sabbath it is
permitted to place an iron near the
hennery to safeguard the fowls from
thunder and lightning strikes" The
Talmud vouches that there is moth
Ing superstitious about this belief"

One Patron a Year,

Charleroi, Washington county, Pa,
has a Carnegie library in which there
are several thousand volumes, and
the property holders are roundly
taxed to support it. 1t cannot be said,
however, that the citizens are great
readers, as the report of the librarian
for the last year shows there was one
solitary patron of the library. The
librarian expresses the opinion that
people Of the town are too much en-
crossed in poker, bridge whist, base.
ball, and roller skating to have time
for books.

Queer Smokes,

Tobacco" said a ~tobacconist, "is
n of many herbs that are smoked.
In the orient, for instance, bhang, or
cannabis, a drug that gives one the
desire to caress peoples feet, goes
into loads Of pipes. Some savages
smoke the leaves Of the wild potato
and the wild tomato. These bitter
leaves are narcotic. They throw you
into a stupor. Pursued in, though,
they bring on insanity. Some Of the
Swiss guides smoke mountain tobac-
CO.. a weed that grows only at great
heights. This produces an intoxica-
ton akin to alcohol. Our Indians,
when hard up. smoke holly and su.
mach leaves, and the silvery leaves
OF Indian tobacco which every boy
has chewed."

KEEP TUE KIDNEYS WELL.
HEALTH IS WORTH SAVING, AND
SOME MONTGOMERY PEOPLE
KNOW HOW TO SAVE 1T.

Many Montgomery people take
their lives in their hands by neg
lecting the kidneys when they
know these organs need help.
Sick kidneys are responsible for
a vast amount of suffering and ill
health, but there is no need to
suffer or 70 remain in danger when
all diseases and aches and paines
due to weak kidneys can be quick
ly and permanently cured by
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is a Montgomery citizens
recommendation:
G. M. Maupin, formerly living
in the eastern part of Montgomery
City, Mo-, says; II have never
had anything to surpass Doan's
Kidney Pills for my back and
kidneys. I had much pain In the
back and top Of my head when I
suffered with a lame back and my
kidneys were out of order. l was
compelled to get up Ave or six
times during the night on account
Of the too frequent action of the
kidney seoretions and often they
were accompanied with pain.
Thcro was . weary and fatigusd
feeling hanging over me the whole
time. had taken several medic
cines which gave me some relief
but failed to permanently relieve
me. 1 was advised to try Doan's
Kidney Pills and I got them at
Crump and Kidwell's drug store.
They greatly helped me. l q
sleep all night now and my head
aches have gone and there 10 no
lameness remaining in my back.
My kidneys are in good condition.

A Chicago professor has discovered
that sea gulls possess reasoning and
~perceptive powers. He is convinced
that the birds think. Would 1t not be
a good plan to catch some of the
thousands which are to be seer on
the Thames between Westminster and
London bridge and train them to work
in government offices?
AT the home office their perceptive
powers would come in handy. The war
department is badly in need of think
ers. In the admiralty the birds would
be specially welcome. We Just throw
