Friday we walked to Lake Forest,

FROM THE "LAND O. CAKES"
Once More 10 Told the Tale Of the
Ubiquitous Scot.

In the year 1879 the Russians and
Turks, weary of war, commissioned
two plenipotentiaries- the Russian
side Marshal General Keith, on the
side of the Turks the grand vizier of
the sultan-to make peace. The VITO
diplomatists met and carried on pro-
tracted negotiations through inter.

When all was satisfactorily settled
the plenipotentiaries rose to take for
NAL leave of each other-the marshal
making his bow with his hat in his
hand, and the grand vizier his salaam
with his turban on his head.
These ceremonies of leaye-taking

Costly Weapon of Warfare.

The Germans have installed in the
port OF Wilhelmshoefen a Krupp can
non which cost the trifing sum of
$4,000, every shot of which costs
S1,650, 1927 for the projectile, $1S5
for the charge which expels the shell
and 1888 for the checking apparatus.
This gun can not fire more than 95
shots before 1t is completely useless.
Because of the repeated action of the
explosives, erosions are made in the
bore, which destroy the quality of the
steel, and the piece can no longer be
used without danger of bursting.

This Rat Chews Tobacco.

New York.-A gray-bearded wharf
rat at the Aiken lumber yard, Perth
Amboy, N. j., chews tobacco.
Ed Thompson, Waterman at the
yard, uses a plug that reeks with lie
orice and molasses. Thompson left
his plug to dry in the sun on pile of
boards; he saw a rat take big chew
of the tobacco.
After that Thompson, who is not
selfish, and who is lonesome at the
yard, left a chew of tobacco for the
rat every day, and they became fast
friends. Now the rat has the habit
and comes to the Waterman for it's
chew.

Federal Authorities May Act.
After the autopsy and when the in.
quest was resumed States Attorney
Hanna announced that it was prob
able that the case was one for the
federal authorities rather than the
state because it had happened on a
military reservation. The inquest was
adjourned for two hours.
Investigation by the coroner and
post officers determined that it was
outside of the post that the body was
found and the coroners inquest was
continued.
Coroner Taylor took the body of the
boy to Waukegan, where the inquest
will be continued. Amann was also
taken to Waukegan in an automobile
to await the verdict of the coroner's
jury and subsequent action on the part
of the grand jury.
States Attorney Hanna said he was
merely a visitor at the inquest and
would take no action toward prosecu-
ton until the verdict of the coroner's
jury was given.

To Produce Hioh Grade Cotton.

The United States produces the
greatest amount of cotton, but speak

of man and boy.
The man was a musician
~ and hopeless invalid. The
boy was no kin. But the
boy loved the man so that he forswore
his own mother to run away with him.
And when the moment came that the
man could stand his pain no longer,
alone in The woods beside the lake the
boy lay dozen, barred his breast to q
dagger, and waited with closed eyes
while the man sought his heart.
The boy died. With shaking hand
the man plunged the knife into his
own breast, but his stroke failed to
find vital spot.
Hours later soldiers at Fort Sheri-
dan found the man, wandering and
gibbering and clawing at his bloody
breast. They took him to the hos
pital at the fort and strapped him to a
cot. 1t was not until daylight came
that they paid much heed to his NUT
terings and the writing that he
scrawled upon a slip of paper.
Then, when they followed his vague
directions, they sought in the woods
and found the body of the boy, cold

racks to prevent the dishes sliding

The Korea pays little attention to or

voyage, however, found the Pacific true
to its name and the Korea came into
