Lords In Livery.


Mr.. Smith was chatting with the pro
prietor of a big garage when a chauf-
feur came in.
Good morning, Mr.. b. remarked
the master of the establishment.
Mr. Smith presently asked:
why the Mr."
"Ie is the son of a formerly rich
city man." was the reply. The post
of chauffeur is acceptable to a penni-
less young fellow of rank. There are
several who come here who have blue
blood in their veins. One of these
the cousin of a duke-was trained by
leading motor expert, himself a
member OF titled family.
zone day the young fellow was sent
out to give a trial run in car. The
would-be customer was a wealthy but
illiterate old lady, who was so pleased
with him that she handed him half a
dollar
There, young man. she said Don't
spend It foolishly!'
Back he went to the garage In a
state OF wild indignation.
LOOK here, Mr.. x he cried, that
old woman gave me half dollar!'
You're lucky was the quiet reply
Last time took her out she gave me
only a quarter.

euILLsAcK BUYS A NEW CLOCK.
Then He Shows False Economy Of
Keeping Old One Too Long.


at last" said Mr.. Quillback, I'VE
have bought new clock, and good
ness knows we needed t.
THE old clock was a small, round,
nickelplated tlmekeeper we had had
for some years, and in the course Of
time It began to show signs OF wear.
But we hated TO go to the expense OF
a new clock as long as we could make
that one do, so we kept It, shaking her
up most every day for something like
year until finally 1t got to be so tire
some that we mustered up courage
and bought new clock.
And then did n little figuring. In
the course of year had spent an
average OF FIVE minutes a day shaking
up that old clock on, say, 300 days,
making, to save the cost OF a new
| clock. a gross total of time spent
amounting to 500 minutes. You d.
vide this by 60 and you find that had
spent in shaking up that blessed old
clock n little more than % hours!
Now. in the way OF income, you
know, / don't pretend to class up with
the Rockefellers and Carnegies and
that sort OF folks, but figuring my
earning capacity on the modest basis
of 90 cents an hour ! find that ! have
] spent in shaking up that miserable old
J ticker time TO the value Of $3.50! And
the new clock cost only GO cents!
"Of course, buying the new clock
when we did instead of a year sooner
we saved the wear on It in that
period, and If we count the life oi
such a clock at say ten years we FIND
that we have thus saved about sever
cents worth of wear on the new clock
and this, properly, Of course, should bC
deducted from the $3.50, but even a
that, in the best showing possible We
find that to save GO cents we have nre
with a net loss Of S1243, to say moth
ing of the wear and tear on US caused
by the aggravation OF having to SHAKE
the old clock up every day and make
It go!
1--WE had been, as in so many way
we are prone TO be, penny wise ant
pound foolish, but we are learning
wisdom and We haven't got to shak,
the old clock up any more, anyway

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SEATTLE, May 24.-It became

through a letter written by her and
intercepted by the authorities that
he was apprehended.
The girl, whose name Is Ethel
Moline, and whose parents are
said to be wealthy residents of
Hastings, was arrested with Stor-
res, whom she had Joined in Sc
attic, but her arrest has been kept
secret by the local police in the
hope that through her the money
alleged to have been embezzled by
STORES might be located.
The police profess to believe
that STORIES gave the money to his
and that she has cached
1t.
When seen in his cell at the
county jail today, Stores said that
II the police carried out their al
legged agreement made with him at
the time of his arrest and permit
ted the girl to 60 unmolested, he
would waive extradition and re-
turn to Lincoln at once, but IL
Miss Moline was detained he would
fight every attempt to return him
to Nebraska.

lincoln, Neb., left for the East
this afternoon with STORES and
the woman. Miss Moline object
ed strenuously to the trip but
Morse said he needed her as a
wtiress and he was compelled to
go.

Forgetting that the police might
help him in his search and labor
ing under the agonizing fear that
his 10-year-old daughter, Myrtle,
had met with some horrible acct-

ing that his girl was being safely

THE TEST.

Several of the men to whom the
task of passing out the hunting
licenses has been assigned have
made moan to the effect that many
of the applicants do not know the
difference between the muzzle and
the breech of a gun. Such men,
they contend, should not be trusted
alone with a gun in the hunting
field. One of the compliments
asked the editor of this column to
prepare a number of questions
which might be put to Nimrods
seeking licenses. The questions
are herewith submitted:
Why is q shotgun?
What is the difference between
smokeless powder?
Is 'shammer the hammer. good
advice?
Describe your conception of good
form in climbing a fence with a
gun.
Should one or both eyes be closed,
If any, at instant of explosion?
When excited how is it possible TO
tell a colt from a rabbit?
If you found you could not gel a
"12' shell in a re- gun would you
use force and persuasion OF what?
When you are perfectly sure gun
is 'unloaded'' do you ever play
fully point it at friends?
