on slip of paper the words "Halmenhorst'
and "Chlumec" once with blue pencil and
once with a black. Then all the PAGERS
were collected together and carried off to
a higher official. All this was because two
newspapers for the Archduke Franz Ferdi-
nand, the heir to the throne. had been sent
to these two places instead Of being de-
livered at the Belvedere Palace in Vienna.
The archduke complained Of the mistake
and requested that the culprit should be
punished. And in order to ascertain
whose mistake it was all the officials ham
ding newspapers were ordered to write the
two places down, so that through the iden-
LITIGATION Of the handwriting the author of
the mistake might be detected.
The amusing part of it was that it was
all in vain and the authorities failed to

WOMAN WHO is APPRECIATED.
She of Sunny, Cheerful Temperament
Always Popular.

The woman who is appreciated Is
generous not so much with money
as with arge-heartedness and thought
fulness and sympathy. The world
loves the one who can find a redeem.
ing quality, even in the greatest OF
sinners, one who forbears to strike
a defenseless soul. The sunny, hope
full woman is ever in request. Every
door flies open to her who has cher
ry, pleasant word and a bright smile.
She is the woman who is always con-
siderate of the rights of others and
never attempts to monopolize the con-
versation or to make herself the CEN
ter of attraction. She realizes that
money will not buy love That though
woman may enjoy every comfort
and luxury obtainable, her home may
be absolutely cherries because OF
loves absence. She knows that there
is no woman living who, deep down in
her heart, does not appreciate being
cared for, admired and loved by
those she comes in contact with.
