Good as a CorkscreN.

"Do you know how to take a tight cork out of a bottle without a cork screw" was asked by a woman the other day at gossip party. Its a mighty good thing to know in an emergency.
 My sister and I were coming back from the mountains. and she got faint on the cars. had a bottle of aro- matic spirits of ammonia in my bag, but when tried to get the cork out I simply couldn't make 1t budge.
 let me take it out for you,' sug- gested man across the aisle.
 ''Then, borrowing my pocketknife and using his own with it, he removed the cork in a jiffy. He inserted the blades on opposite sides between the bottle and the cork, each one turned in a different direction. Then when the blades were firmly pushed in he simply pressed the two together, gave them a wrench sideways. and the cork came out without any trouble. I have since tried 1t on larger bottles with success. It Is trick worth knowing" Exchange.

An Ax fo Grind

The familiar expression, "An ax to grind" frequently attributed to Benja- min Franklin, originated with Charles Miner, who introduced the following tale of woe in short, pithy essay pub lished in country newspaper of Penn sylvania during the year 1911: A little boy is asked by man with an ax and an engaging smile if his father has q grindstone, and, the family being in proud possession of that implement of welfare, the youngster leads the way into the back yard.
 What fine little fellow you arew exclaims the stranger, quite casually. as though scarcely conscious of speak ing loud. Of course the boy becomes at once his most obedient servant and, by more we'll directed praise, brings water to whet the wheel and heroic ally turns the grlndstone until his small hands sting with blisters. But the moment the ax is ground its owner calls his little fetch and carry slave rascal" crushes his newborn manly pride by bidding him hurry off to school-Los Angeles Times.

The Oueet of Truth

It is T good deal easier to poke fun at history than to write history merit ing credence. Mir. Bodley when writ ing his France" experienced the force of this in curious way. He shut himself up in France for years to get the atmosphere and the knowledge necessary for his work. One of his trials arose over some question of elect oral jurisprudence. It was not of in tcrnatiOnal importance. but still inter esting to students of comparative pro- cedure. Therefore he wrote to a dep uty who is a parliamentary expert to clear up the obscurity in which the text books involve the point and incor- porated his reply in the text of the book. Later. being invited by an CT perienced mayor to be present st a poll over which he presided, Mir Bod Icy put the question to him and re- ceived a quite different reply. Finally the author referred the point to a senator of indisputable authority. who showed that the deputy and the mayor were both wrong St James Gazette.

Some time ago the wife of Judge Blank lost her cook, and, since she had no other resource, she rolled up her sleeves and for week provided such meals as the judge had not enjoyed since those happy days when the Blanks did not keep a cook. The judges delight was so great that by way of appreciative acknowledgment he presented Mrs. Blank with beau- tiful ermine cloak. Quite naturally the incident was good deal noised about among the social acquaintances of the Blanks and spirit of envious emula- tion was developed in certain quarters. It was in this mood that Mrs. Jerome recited the story to her husband.
 What do get, Jerry" she asked. "if will do the cooking for a week?
 Well" said Mir. Jerome. ''at the end of a week, my dear. you'll get one of those long crape veils. "-Argonaut.

INTERNATIONAL GAMES LIKELY.
for Harvard and Yale
 to Meet Oxford and Cambridge.

Cambridge, Jan. 14.-G. Emerson, manager of the Harvard track team last night confirmed the report that negotiations are in progress with the view of arranging a track meet be- tween the teams of Harvard and Yale and Oxford and Cambridge. Last summer Emerson conferred in Eng land with representatives of the two English universities, both of whom were extremely desirous of bringing about the meet. On his return the Harvard track manager discussed the question with the Yale authorities, who were equally in favor of the meet if it could be arranged.
 The Harvard track men believe there will he no difficulty in obtaining the consent of the athletic committee to their participation in the meet and that the only possible obstacle may be of a financial nature. It will be ne cessary to obtain the backing of q number of Harvard and Yale gradu- ates in order to enable an American team to be sent abroad. There is a little of the fund remaining which was used to defray the expenses of the Harvard and Yale teams when they were last sent abroad in l90i which will be devoted to that use this summer if the proposed meet is ar- ranged.
 The fact that some of the Harvard Yale athletes will probably be chosen for the American team which will com pete in the Olympic games and will have their expenses paid in that way will also Tighten the task of collecting money to send the dual n abroad.
