CUTTING HIS PANTS.
a Funny Mans Criticism Of the Sar-
toriai Artists Efforts.

When, n tailor puts you on the meas
uring box, with a man guarding the
door SO that you can't get away am
another making a book on the game
he reels off something like this as he
goes about YOU with his measuring
tapes el's1S-2-11-16-S-4-1S-11---a6--
Gee, you're beginning to get a 'front.'
amt you?-6M -1T-side and two hips,
Jimmie -S3I. -36-Can you come IN to-
morrow or Friday y?-19-6-House or

rs-i6-What was that last, Jimmie
did l say2 Oh, make it % in the mid
dle-What did you say your name
was, nIfster?"
Now, nobody can make any combi-
nation of the foregoing figures which
will spef. anything like a decent pair
of pants. But the tailor cares nothing
whatever about the figures which he
calls out to Jimmie and indeed makes
no reference to them In his later op-
erations. He knows the pants won't
fit, anyhow, so what's the uses II
you watch him You will discover that
he usually takes UP some other mans
measurements when he undertakes
the laying out of that particular gar
ment on which he puts your name.
Having selected from the mass OF
papers on his desk set of figures
which suits him, he goes behind his
counter, yawns, looks in the glass.
smooths down his hair, hunts for the
place where he left his cigar and at
last picks up a thing which Noks like
a board rule, with a curve in the cor
ner like hockey stick. If you are
not watching him he viii probably
cut your pants by ear and viii not
bother to use this implement, but if
you insist upon inspection he'll make
a pretense of scientific use of this in
strument, whose real nature or pur-
pose no human being knows or ever
will know.
What the tailor is thinking of as he
begins to make chalk marks in piece
of blue paper, using this rule as a
straight edge, is the ''joy ride he is
going to have with Marie in his new
auto that evening. 1t makes no diff
ference to him whether the chalk slips
or not, nor Is it important how far
along this or that angle he-ailows the
straight or curved line to run. He
knows they are not going to ft, any
how, so why should he bother about it
overmuch? The only hope you can
possibly have meantime Is the one
raised in your bosom when the tailor,
from behind the counter, looks up and
says: Jimmie, why in the world
didn't you mark the name on this
gents pants? oh, well, never mind"
The tailor goes ON making several
cute little pictures on the blue paper
by aid of this curved thing, which has
numbers scattered along 1t here and
there. He draws IN severT iSoscles
triangles, convergfng at more or less
the same point; but, not liking the
looks Of these, he rubS out some OF the
lines and tries over again. Then he
forgets which ones he rubbed out. 1t
makes no difference anyhow. At last
he stands Off, critically gazes upon the
pattern which he has been casting.

wholly by chance, how long your pants

PAINT MANUFACTURING
CO. FOR occur D'ALENE
Plant to Cost $4,000 to be Erected at
Once lis New Process

The Kingsley Chemical Reduction
company of Spokane is going to erect
a plant between Gibbs and Atlas
near this city for the manufactur-
ing OF paint. The company is incor-
porated at $1,000, 900, is backed by
Spokane capitalists and the contract
for the plant, which will cost $751;
900, will be let today at Spokane.
The lead and zinc ores will be
shipped from the Occur d'Alenes to
the plant and viii be treated by a
new acid process which Is the In
vention OF Mr.. Kingsley. In other
paint plants 1t is necessary to ship in
the lead from which the paint ID
manufactured, but this company ex-
tracts its own lead and makes II
into paints.
The company evidently means bus
mess for 1t has not asked for a site
or any bonuses as large number Of
new concerns generally do. 1t has
already purchased a site and as hai
been stated, the contract will be lei
today for the erection OF 1t. About
twenty men viii be employed at frs
by the company, but 1t Is expected
that the plant will be gradually en-
larged untIl 1t employs nearly tw'
hundred men. Professor H. Carr o
Michigan, who is an experiences
chemist. will be superintendent o
the plant, but T. c. Grier Is thu
company's representative in this cit.
at the present time.
The plant is located on the Inlant
System. and the Northern PacillC
and the Milwaukee and Corbin road
will also pass the plant and as
result the company will have excel
lent facilities for shipping its pro
ducts and receiving ores.

A Pig Squealed And War!

Champ Clark, the minority
leader in the house Of represent
tatives, says he hopes to write
some day a book about what a
margin of one vote has caused to
happen in the history of the
country. One Of the instances
Of what one vote will do he des-
cribes as follows;
The war between this country
and England in 1912 was caused
by ore vote, and stranger still,
the small margin came from a
pigs getting its head stuck in
a rail fence. 1t was a Rhode
Island fence at that, but built
much like a Virginia worm
fence.
They were having an election
of members of the legislature in
Rhode island. One Federalist
put off going to the election and
left himself just time enough to
pet there before the polls closed.
Just as he got on his horse and
started for town, he heard a pig
squeal. He looked around and
saw that the pig had it's head
into that old rail fence,
and anybody who knows any
thing about hogs knows that the
hogs would have eaten that pig
up if it hadn't been rescued. The
farmer STOPPED long enough to
liberate the pig, and when he got
to the polls they were closed. He
was too late.
The result was that a Demo-
cratic member of the Legislature
was elected for that district by
one vote, and he would not have
beeh elected if that Federalist
had gotten there on time. In
the legislature a Democratic
United States senator was elect
ed by one vote and that Demo
cratic legislator who had been
