What's the Use?

Men seem to be busy right now
telling women what they think of
them, or rather what they think
they think of them. No man really
could think as badly of any woman
as some of these men say they
think of all of them. Col. J. Ham.
Lewis, the ''bearded lady" of Chi
cago politics, declared they could
not be believed under oath. y Judge
in Cleveland said they were eats.
and now the Virginia State chemist
says they are immodest, perverse,
cunning, infantile, and imperfect,
and should never get married, al
though he thinks men should.
This all sounds terrifying-to
men; but the women are not going
TO pay any more attention 10 it
than if the awful words had never
been uttered. Maybe it is all true.
Women don't care. They have too
much on their minds TO bother
about what men say about them in
a derogatory way. There are Sc
many more men saying nice things
10 them all the time that their
listening time is all occupied. Be.

TWO-ACRE FARMS.

In Belgium a two-acre holding is suf-
fcient to maintain a farmer and his
family. The typical twO-acre farm in
that country contains a patch of wheat
or rye and another of barley. Another
fair portion grows potatoes. A row OF
cabbage grows all round on the sloping
sides of the bitches, with a row Of
onions Just oI:tside leaving bare walk
ing room between them and the grain.
The shade trees round the house are

Wine From TOkay.

Life is full of discOuragements
and disaPpointments. We hardly
recover from learning that our
Vermont maple syrup" is made in
Connecticut and our Boston baked
beans" in Chicago, before we have
it forced upon our convictions that
some of our Best Kentucky Bour-
bon" first glowed with the sunlight
that warns the soil Of Pennsylvania.
So it goes. If It is not one thing it
is another.
We are now given one consola-
ton, however. We are not the only
sufferers in this respect. Misery
loves company, especially do the de-
ceived and defrauded yearn to learn
that there are others"
This balm in Gilead comes from
Germany. Consul Thomas H. Nor
ton, of Chemnitz, writes that a
German court recently handed down
a decision in regard TO the use Of
geographical terms for wines which
referred to their quality, but were
not in accord with the place of pro-
duction.
\ wine merchant imported and
sold large amounts of a sweet wine
produced in Hungary which he
labeled as Medicinal Tokay." When
brought TO trial for selling goods
under a false name, he aclmowl-
edged that the wine did not come
from the welI-known locality, but
claimed the term "Tokay' was used
to designate a class of wines, and
as'not a simple geographical name
indicative of origin He lost his
case, and was forced to pay a heavy
fine.
The Hungarian minister Of agri-
culture has just issued a circular
communication stating that in a
commercial treaty between Ger
many and Austria it was expressly
stipulated that wine should not be
exported into Germany bearing the
Iappellation of 'Tokay wine" unless
| the term was geographically cor
rect. This condition was extended
later to Hungary by virtue of the
compact between the members OF
the dual monarchy.
In accordance with this provision
the minister now forbids the use Of
the term ''Tokay wine" on exporta-
tions from Hungary to Austria or
/ Germany unless the wine actually
came from the Tokay vineyards. AS
the tract of land yielding -he gen
! uine Tokay is exceedingly limited in
extent, there viii probably be a
marked diminution in the amount
| Of "Tokay" wine reported in export
statistics, although possibly not in
the quantity of "Tokay." so called
consumed in the countries in ques
ton.
This is not quite wholly yonsoling
to us, however, for we can see moth
ing in the decision of the German
court, or in the ruling of the Hun
garian minister, that viii prevent
our Medicinal Tokay" coming from
the smiling vineyards of the Empire
State.

that he had used 100000 Of the money

Injuries Prove Fatal.

George Mcdowell, whose spine was
broken by a fall from hop house
near Airlie a short time ago, died
Tuesday afternoon. He was appar-
emily much improved and was begin
ming to be able to move his lower
limbs slightly and those attending
him attempted to turn him In his bed
to place him in a more comfortable
position. His death occurred sud
denly and apparently painlessly
while they were turning his
body over. 1t is supposed that in
changing his position some pressure
was brought to bear on the spinal
cord at the point where the spine was
broken, causing instant death. Mr..
Mcdowell was about As years Of age
at the time of his death and Is survived
by a wife and several children.

MANY AMUSEMENT FEATURES
Winter Season in Dallas Opens With
Big Variety of Attractions For
Entertainment Seekers.

Although he had not intended to
begin the skating season until Thurs
day evening, Frank Kerslake finally
consented to throw open the Colosseum
rink Wednesday afternoon and even
ing, 80 large and so inslstent had
become the throng of devotees to the
art of roller skating, who congregated
about the big building clamoring to
be allowed on the floor.
With its increasing number Of
amusement resorts, Dallas should be
anything but lonesome town" dur
ing the coming winter to those who
crave "some place to go and some
thing to see."
From the Colosseum rink down
through the business section OF the
city, one encounters these traps OF
amusement set to catch the idle shekels
of the seeker after entertainment.
The Vaudette, with its series after
series Of moving picture scenes, comic,
tragic, or sometimes merely inane and
its brightly colored illustrated songs
ian institution that seems rapidly to
be becoming engrafted into the very
inmost and typical characteristic Of
the American people, stands at the
head OF the street. Farther down the
shooting gallery with its dazzling
whirl of mechanical targets and its
asthmatic, but courageous mechanical
piano, is located and close by 1t are
the Caldwell poolrooms and bowling
alley.
Running down the street through
the gauntlet Of confectionery stores,
oyster parlors, etc, the amusement
seeker finds the Henline pool and
billia I'd parlors and after passing
these, winds up his journey practically
in the same way it was begun, in
another moving picture establishment,
the neat and cozy little Electric
Palace" which is operated under the
management of Whiteside & Cooper.
The season however is only in its
beginning and none can tell to what
lengths the hunger for entertainment
may carry US before the winter is
ended. Already plans are afoot for
installing other amusemen: features
and it is probable that the number Of
these resorts will be still further 10
creased before the winter has become
far advanced.
