TABLES TURNED ON PALMER
'"veserase Joker Gets Real Jolt When
Hs Bumps up Against
German.

A good story is told of Congress-
man II. W. (Hank) Palmer Of
Wilkcs-Barre, Pa.
Hank has the reputation of being
quite story teller, and is at all
times ready to spring something
iunny at the other fellows expense,
but it happened that this time
Hanks joke was turned on himself.
1t was back in the early eighties,
when the scarf stickpins were so
much in style. Hank purchased a
consplcuously large pin,. the design
OF which was a potato bug, green in
color. When asked what it was.
Hank would answer, Gan Irish po-
tato bug"
1t was up to United States Com.
missioner Honn Of the same town.
who is typical German, and very
unassuming, to turn the joke on the
funny Hank, who had been having
. lot OF fun with his Irish potato
bug, till he ran across the little COM
missioner, who eyed the pin very
closely, but failed to make any re-
mark about it, fearing that Hank
had some joke attached to it.
Honn was about to walk away,
when Hank said to him: "Mr. Honn,
what do you think ofmy new pin ?"
Mr.. Honn adjusted his heavy
glasses, scrutinized the pin very
closely, and asked: Hank, vot ISIS
dot ?"
"That's an Irish potato bug" said
Hank.

That New York tailors have
evolved suffragette suit. They
are made of gray mannish suiting
and they are provided with pockets
enough to delight the heart Of

That there is considerable ex-
citement over at Dupree. or as the
Leader puts it has been the cause
OF much comment by our people
here" The Farmers State Bank

CLEARLY SHOWN.

A story is told Of a simple and
aevout Methodist minister who was
not sufficiently eloquent or business
like to be approved by the presiding
elder.
Through the influence of the eld-
sr he felt sure he was appointed to a
small and widely scattered settle
ment, where there was much hard
work and the results were necessa-
rily meager.
One day he was commenting sadly
On the narrowness Of his opportuni-
ties to a friend, who said gravely
that he ought to pray for light that
he might see the hand Of the Lord
in his appointment.
81 have, brother" he answered,
again and again. But SO far" he
added, with a whimsical smile, 'I've
only had light enough to see the in
terfering hand of Elder Brown"

Hudson Maxim believes that little
serious destruction would result
from dropping dynamite from a fly
ing machine. He asserts that many
tons of dynamite might be exploded
in the middle of Madison square,
New York city, without any more
serious damage than the blowing out
Of the windows of adjacent build
ings by the rush of air toward the
explosion to fill the void formed by
the uprush of the heated gases and
air.

CONCRETE HOUSES IN FAVOR.
Rapidly Growing in Popularity"A Combna'
ton of CheapnesS and Durability

Within the last few years concrete
construction has come into high IA
vor. For a time 1t was confined
chiefly to factory buildings, dams and
other massive structures. Now en-
gineers and architects all over the
country are recommending concrete
residences as being equally as good,
or, in many respects, better than
those of stone, brick or frame. AS
concrete structures are not affected
by climatic conditions as much as
other construction, and are much
more permanent, there is good rea-
son why their adoption should soon
become almost universal.
The cost of any building depends
in great measure upon its location
with regard to accessible materials.
This applies to concrete as we'll as to
other materials, but in a lesser de-
gree. Sand, gravel and rubble can
be found in abundance in almost any
section of the country, and as these
materials form about eighty-five per
cent. of the building mixture, there
remains only about fifteen per cent.

Royal Motor Cars.

King Edwards motor cars did not
bear number plates. Those of the
German royal family are recognized
by their warning signals They alone
may use the three noted horns.
"The cars used by the German EN-
peror and Empress have their APP
proach heralded by three noted horns
and those of the royal princes by two
noted horns. No infringement Of this
rogative by ordinary motorists is
tolerated.
"The fact that the royal cars, both
in England and in. Germany, may so
easily be distinguished is an indica-
ton Of the confidence which exists
between the monarchs and their re-
spective peoples" says the Gentle
woman. I'm less happier times it
would have been counting danger to
have carried such marks of distinc-
ton, and even now in less fortunate
lands the rulers dare not travel 70
openly"

where he had been carried cruelty
bruised and burned, Denton came
slowly back to consciousness. and II
took weeks of Jennie's nursing be-
fore he could move.
Peter had escaped with nothing
worse than a broken arm and bis
tered face.
Il suppose it's jail for mine" he
said grimly one morning. He knew
little of law.
Denton looked thoughtfully at his
enforced host, He had been doing
lot of thinking while lying there
helpless, witnessing the simple home
life of these people, which called
forth unselfishness, forbearance and
self-sacriiice, qualities somewhat over
looked in his own self-indulgent, lux
urious existence. And to find the
lack of the price Of a quart of milk
an actual reality was a shocking nov
city.
1T was only by the mercy of God
you both escaped" said Jennie to
change the subject.
Mercy" to him,-who save for his
idolized child had shown little Of it
to man or beast. "If he had received
the justice he rated so highly" He
cringed inwardly.
Peter" he said, impulsively.
Forget that night. But can't take
YOU back. III pay you well for my
board"
Through his bandaged head buzzed
Hazels lesson over and over.
"The quality Of mercy is not
strained" Denton was straining II
through finest gauze and he realized
it.
Peter" he said again. ct will
take you back; I'll forget my word
this once"
Jennie's face glowed with graft
tude. 1t seemed to inspire Denton.
And what's more If youll study up
little I'll help you qualify for the
foreman's job. He leaves soon"
Denton fell asleep with a warmth
about his heart, a new, strange sense
of satisfaction he had not known for
years, leaving Peter and Jennie hap
PLY discussing plans for the future
so brilliant to them. He did not
know It, but he was beginning to
learn the beautiful truth of the words
of Hazel's lesson:
at is twice blessed.
1t blesseth him who gives and him
who takes.

CLASP HANDS AGAIN
PRESIDENT TAFT AND COLONEL
ROOSEVELT GREET EACH
OTHER CORDIALLY.
Persistent Prophecy Of q Goodness
Between the President and ex-
President Proven False by
Action Of Two Men.

Beverly, Mass.-For q full minute
Thursday afternoon President Taft
and Colonel Roosevelt stood on the
broad veranda Of the Evans cottage
with hands upon each others Shout
ders, while delight shone in every line
81 their smile-enwreathed counter
ances.
Colonel Roosevelt, who was visiting
with Senator Lodge, had called to
pay his respects to the president-his
old friend.
They patted each other affection
ately on the shoulder They laughed
in a way that left not a single lin
gering doubt as to the exuberance OF
their feelings. They seemed utterly
oblivion OF the fact that others were
present.
And so it went throughout the after
noon. When Colonel Roosevelt was
president and Mr.. Taft was secretary
of war, the meetings Of the two mer
in the executive offices at Washing
ton were always characterized by the
same cordially as was shown Thurs
day. White House attaches who wit
messed the meeting Thursday Afternoon
said 1t was just like the old days
There was rapid fire OF converse
ton. The meeting was everything
that the friends of President TAT
have claimed IT would be, and thu
persistent prophecies of those wh'
have insisted all along that a cool
ness had developed between the tive
men proved false.
But what OF politics entered Int
the conversation. what words OF rem
iniscence, what exchange OF expert
ences during the last sixteen months
no one on the veranda other than tn
two friends themselves knows. TIL
public was not taken into their conf
dence.
