He Made Them Listen,

'cX'' Beidler, the old vigilante leader
Of Montana, was elected sheriff of
Lewis and Clark county, in which Hell
ena is situated. During Beidlers
tncumbency the Jail was rebuilt and
one of the new fashioned steel cages
for the prisoners installed. Beidler
invited all the notables down to see
the cage when it was competed. The
governor and the state and city Off
cials and many prominent citizens ac-
eepted the invitation. tx" took them
into Il cage and excused himself for a
minute. He went out and locked the
door. Then he took a chair and sat
down outside.

He Had a Claim,

In certain town was young law
yer whose father was very rich and
who had been sent to an eastern law
school. Since his graduation he had
done nothing except open an Office be-
cause he had plenty of money. This
young lawyer was proposed for men,
bership in the local fire company.
1--WE cannot elect him. one of the
members protested. "The constitution
Of our company says that the mem
bers of it must sleep and live here in
the city, and he lives out Of town ON
farm and not In the city at all. He
would be of no value at all in case of
a fire at night He doesn't sleep here
at night"
"No," replied his proposer; at is true
he doesn't sleep here at night, but he
sleeps here in his Office all day"
And they elected him on that ground.

Among humorous stories of the Par

ease and, noticing that the judges were
paying no attention to him, said, "As
the president is falling asleep | sus-

Just woke up and cried, And l sus-
pend you from practicing for six
months" Nothing daunted, the law
yer retorted, "Well, | suspend myself
forever and ever" and, gathering up
dis brief and cap, he left the court
and never appeared again.
A Paris barrister, NJ. Clery, however,
was more vigorous. Seeing that the
president and the assessors were all
asleep, he stopped, and, dealing a tre-
mendous blow on the desk in front Of
him that woke everybody up with a
start, he cried, Yesterday at this same
hour was saying And the whole
bench rubbed their eyes and asked each
other If they had really slept through
twenty-four hours.

IS WINDMILL HOPE OF WORLD?
Dr.. Wiley Thinks We Should Prepare
For Frozen Sphere,

1t is now authoritatively stated that
the earth will eventually freeze. The
scientist who makes the assertion is
DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, chief chemist in
the department of agriculture at Wash
ington, but he has a remedy for man
kind. and 1t is the windmill. Even
though the equator should CONCEAL
there would still be wind enough to
produce comfort.
But this saving condition can be
obtained only by the immediate pro-
duction of windmills which can gen.
crate electricity, says DR.. Wiley. The
much debated 'last man on earth" will
probably sit upon a frozen earth,
saved by his windmill, which will fur
nish heat, ventilation and possibly hot
house foods.
"Geologists have for many years ad
mitted that the earth is cooling" he
says, Though 1t is my personal belief
that we still have lease on life that
may run into the billions of years.

innocent in sympathy. When she re-
turned from shopping half sovereign

Chutney was naturally incensed

girl" she told the weeping maid, "and
tell them you are half a sovereign
short in your money and they must
give it you"
Susan went and was back again In
half an hour. Entering her mistress
sanctum, she laid five half sovereigns
on the table before her.. Faithful as
always, she had carried out Mrs.
Mango-Chutney's instructions to the
letter, and each shopkeeper, fearful of
doing wrong and hurting a fellow crea-
ture, had thrust the missing coin upon
the bewildered girl-I.ondon Answers.

Clean Your Glasses.

common habit is to wipe eyeglasses
or spectacles with a silk handker-
chief carried in the pocket. The fin
ger tips always exude a delicate OIL
This gets on the handkerchief and
from the handkerchief goes on to the
lenses. Presently there IS smear of
grease and people complain of dim

chief; get some very fine tissue

your glasses with two or three pieces
and throw them away.
