An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned at
the Birmingham police court by pris-
oner who gave himself away In very
delightful manner. The man was tho
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one OF being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped !-to tho
dock. however. Just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
few Of the cases which were TO come
before the court that morning. and n
guilty conscience apparently ied him
to mistake these items fer list OF his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one ''shopbreaking the prisoner ex-
claimed excitedly. That was eight
years ago. your honor" Everyone be-

Two Very Old Ladies'.

We have heard a great deal lately
about long glived people. but 1t is prob
able that the Oldest two people In the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem. In Prus-
sian Poland. and was born on Febru-
nry 2l. 1855. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter. however. is nine months
her senior. having been born In May.
1884.
She is still n fairly hale old woman.
and for nearly one hundred years
worked In the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100. and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives
at the village Of Bavelsko. whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole Of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning Of last century much
more clearly than those OF the last

Planting Wedding Oaks.

Princess August wilhelm. wife of

the task Of reviving one Of Germanys
Oldest customs. that according to which
newly welded couples Immediately af-

pie Of oak saplings side by side In n

The town Of Mulchausen. in Thurin-
gia. Is the first to respond to the prin-
cess appeal. A municipal oficial ap-
pears ut the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom To drive with him In car
riage to q new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by a former eIector Of Brandenburs
with the object OF repairing the raw.
ages caused by the 30 years war. Tho

barley had been transformed into sugar. the

Some OF the State chemists brought on by

called a "predigssted" food because not all OF

The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known "predigested."

II is sufficient that II only onehalf Of the
food is "predgested." It is easier on weakened

An Alaskan Luncheon.

Runners of woven Indian basketry,
with white drawnwork doilies at each
Of the IL covers. were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle OF the
table a mirror held a tall central vase
OF frosted glass. surrounded BY four
smaller vases. all filed with white
spring blossoms. The edge of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors Of
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held
salted nuts. and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were
OF horn. several OF the dishes used
were made by Alaskan Indians. and
the cakes were served on baskets.
The menu was as follows: Poisson
