Collar Button Defender.

The collar button has been libeled.
Since it first came into being it has
provided the writer's of jokes for the
comic papers with a large share of
their material. That it possessed a
remarkable tendency toward losing it
self has been accepted almost as an
axiom.
Facts have come to light which
show that the collar button has been
malgned. A man in the employ of the
Burlington railroad has worn one col
lar button for Is years. 1t has stuck
by him without any undue precautions
against loss and has Eever shown a
tendency to wander.
This man says he has always treat
ed his collar button kindly, has never
sworn at it nor blamed it for his own
faults His idea is that if mankind &C
cords due respect to the collar button
it will reciprocate.

VINTAGE Nicknames.

We have nicknames for the vintages
which few persons except the Wine
drinkers know Thus the vintage of
the present year we call Zeppelin, in
honor of the air navigator's achieve
ment and because it is so high. Rec
ords show that these nicknames were
bestowed on vintages as far back as
1929, when the bad-watered Wine was
called Baptist"
The sour wine of 1860 was called
Garibaldi, and in memory of the Chi
nese war the 1894 wine is still known
as Weihaiwei The vintage of 1896
promised much and gave little. and was
nicknamed Ii Hung Chang, and an
other nickname for the same years
wine, Moses, was given because the
wine was taken from the water princi-
pally-M unchener Neurichten.

VERY EVIDENTLY HIS FIRST ONE.
Young Man Was Proud Parent, and
Didn't Care Who Knew 1t.

There was no booth In the corner
drug store The young man at the tele-
phone therefore could be heard by all
the customers who ranged about the
soda water fountain. His face beamed
as he talked
Everything is all right" he was
saying.
"Ma'am?
"Yes'm. Eleven pounds Beautiful
boy. Like me, they say.
"Ma'am?
yes m. Resting quietly Would
have sent for YOU, but thought it best
not to- Didn't want to worry you.
"Ma'am?
"Yesm. I'll attend to all that.
"Ma'am?
"Yesm. I'll tell her you're coming
down right away. Beautiful boy.
"Ma'am?
"Yes'm Eleven pounds and looks
just like me-"
He rang off and walked proudly out
of the drug store apparently oblivious
to the smiling countenances of his
interested listeners ranged around the
soda fountain.

Ghosts in Scottish Houses.

Scotland is rich in ghost lore There
is. perhaps, hardly castle or ruin
which has not some special story cling
ing to it, and the strange part of the
matter is that many of the legends are
substantiated by latter day expert
ences Dunrobin castle, the Highland
home of the duke of Sutherland, boasts
of haunted room. The specter there
is invisible and denotes it's presence
by an awe-inspiring laugh. The story
goes that one of the dukes ancestors
caused the chief of rival clan to
be starved to death in his room, Wis
iting him periodically during his suf-
ferings and laughing at his tortures.
AS punishment for this crime the I'M
scrupulous chieftain has to haunt the
room.

The Value of Good
Digestion
Is easy to figure if you know what your stomach
is worth. kodol keeps the stomach at par value,
by insuring good digestion. Kodol cures Dyspepsia.

Kodol insures good digestion by
absolutely duplicating Natures
normal process, in perfectly digest
ing all food taken into the stom-
ach.
While Kodol is doing this, the
stomach is resting-and becoming
strong and healthy. A strong and
healthy stomach guarantees a
sound and active brain.
The man with a sound stomach
Ia stomach that is doing for the
body just what Nature intended
1t to dds the man who is always
prepared for any emergency. He
is there with the goods"
The man with sick stomach, is
man sick all over. When the
stomach is irritated by undigested
food, the blood and heart are d.
rectly affected. Then dullness, I'M

vertigo and fainting spells, and

GIVING Work to All.

Miss Eastman, secretary of the New
York branch of the American Associa-
ton for labor legislation, says that
somehow a plan must be devised that
will give men the right to work. Sure
ly, she says, it is an unintelligent So
ciety which will let men who want to
work starve, beg or steal. Surely this
country is prosperous enough to afford
an eight-hour day six days in the week
for everybody.

Brilliant Project Brought to Naught.
In the year 1894 William Patterson,
founder of the Bank of Scotland, CON
ceived the grand project of planting
on the Isthmus of Darien British
colony which, in his own words,
should secure for Great Britain the
keys of the universe, enabling their
possessors to give laws TO both oceans
and to become the arbters of the com
mercial world" This colony was actu-
ally founded at place still known
as Puerto Escoces, but its people
were subsequently forced by the Span
iards to evacuate and return to Scot
land
