dressing room, surrounded by q XII
mona. The costume she had worn in
the dances hung against the wall.

she said. "All my life I have loved
to dance the oriental dances, and
have never been in q haren. I have
been in places that were harems long,

Did you conceive the idea Of that
dance you have just finished in any
Of the ruined harems in Spain?"
Il do not know; I originated the
dance; 7 may have been subconscious-

sunshine in Spain.

Sam is a fine old boy, just the same,
and he has a fine family. Mrs. Sam
is one Of its best members and has
been big help to her husband in
turning my 1876 acres into money. They
have a fine, outstanding boy of 81,
named Raymond, who also has a fine
Wife, and lives at home with the old
folks and helps with the farming. The
ladies, by the way, aren't any more
puffed up over being the central women
of the country than the father is over
being the central man.

Mrs. Wilson We're girls and have mar

So long for this time. You'll prob

next decennial census. In the last 10
years I've heard lot of the old center

east Of me. I supposed ten years later
I'll be left 80 or 40 miles behind.

Special Correspondence.

THE HUB, United States.-Don't
be alarmed. I'm merely a perfect good,
brand new dateline, that was broken
into print for the first time I'm down
here in old Indiana, eight miles east
Of Bloomington, and I'm destined to
be on the map for the next ten years.
Miss Boston's claims to the contrary
notwithstanding. I'm the center Of the
United States-the real Hub around
which all the rest Of you are spinning
If you don't believe it, go ask Uncle
Sans census director. He'll tell you
I'm right that I'm the center Of popula-
ton. according to the thirteenth cen
sus.
AS a matter Of fact, I'm not town
at all. I'm a farm in Monroe-co south
western Indiana, about 60 miles from
Indianapolis I'm composed Of 1856 acres
and I'm owned by Samuel Fl. Stevens,
who was born right here 69 years ago
and has lived here and reared a family.
Sam isn't very enthusiastic about
this center Of the country thing. You
see, he's just plain farmer who
been plugging along here all his life,
unheralded and unsung, as the poets
say, but today he woke up and found
himself famous.
Sam gave me a message to carry to
the outside world and I'm bringing it
along. Don't blame me for it,
whats the Odds" says Sam,
whether or not I'm the central man
Of the United States? It won't get
me any higher price for my corn and
wheat or buy me any automobiles. I'm
going right on being a Hoosier farmer,

She said her stay at the seashore

Dear Miss Grey: ] am in love with
a young man, although we are not en-
gagged. He calls on another girl Sun
day, Tuesday and Thursday evenings,
and have heard that he has said that
if this girl ever gave him up he would
leave town. I don't believe he cares
for her, for he goes around with other
girls. When he comes to see me he
expresses his love SO sincerely that I
must believe him, although my friends
think he cares for the other girl in
stead of me. They say he never comes
to see me unless he is intoxicated, and
I confess he very often is in that con-
dition. What do you think of it?-E.
M. B.
A.: If he calls on the other girl reg
ularly, she is the one he cares most
for and he is trying to make fool Of
you. He certainly has very little re-
spect for you since he calls upon you
in such a condition, and I doubt If he
has any self respect. How can you
love a man of that type? You'll won
der at is yourself some day. The girl
who marries him has world of sor-
row ahead of her Let the other girl
have him If she wants one of his type,
and congratulate yourself that you're
rid of him.
Dear Miss Grey: Please give re-
cipe for pancakes-the kind they call in
restaurants "a stack of wheat. "-Thank
You
A: They are usually made of a pre-
pared wheat -four and the directions
come with the -four.

Dear Miss Grey: 7 dyed carpet rags
in my clothes boiler, and afterwards
scrubbed the boiler thoroughly. But
when boiling some white clothes in it
afterward the stain came off and dyed
them various shades Of red and pink.
They are valuable to me and I cannot
afford to lose them. Can you help
me ?-McM.
A: Since they are dyed it will be al
most impossible to get the color out.
Javelle water is probably your only
help, but use care, as it is apt to rot
the clothes If made too strong. Boil
pound Of soda in a gallon Of water
for 10 minutes, then add a pound OF
chloride Of lime. After the fluid is set
tied bottle and cork tightly the clear
part. Soak the clothes in tub Of wa
err in which is pint Of this liquid. II
this does not remove the stain put
clothes in the boiler Of water, add the

Want Some Of
The BLACK SHELLS

That's the solo which a few months ago
few lone men were singing to dealer here
and there. Now there's a chorus of 'em--tOr
the BLACK SHELLS have mate gooG We
knew they would. for they are mate rigkH.
Have YOU given them a trial vet? II not. see your
dealer before you pull another trigger. Re-
member our claim that the BLACK SHELLS
will give you from SO TO Io% better score
and a bigger bag.
Here are 4 few of the reasons: 4: The BLACK
SHELLS have 4 one piece brass head; there is
10 separate Battery Cup. No chance for the
explosion gases to leak They all go Jo,70a,l
into the charge.
The Primer used in the BLACK SHELLS
contains no mercury or ground gass. 1t Is
fast. unyarying. sure.
The Flash Passage (the hole in the brass
head through which tho flame of the primer
reaches the POWDER is 1907 larger than III other
shells.
That's why the user Of BLACK SHELLS
never knows haug-fre - when he pulls the
trigger the bird drops.
Neither fog. rain nor a ducking can make
the BLACK SHELLS miss fire. Their water
proohng is perfect. They will not stick in the
chamber and they never cut off.
There are three classes OF BLACK SHELLS
withal:
KOMAX, black powder shell with $40
inch brass
CLIMAX, the most popular smokeless Cooth
dense and bulky shell made. Has one-half.
inch brass.
AJAX is the highest grade smokeless (both

He has played against as many as
twenty-five different boards at the
same time without seeing single
board and won a majority Of the
games. Seated with his back to the
other players and constantly smoking
a big cigar he is apparently able to
visualize and to remember twenty-five
different pictures, in each Of which
thirty-two classmen are being changed
about in an infinite variety Of combi-
nations. Just what this means may be
realized in view Of the computation
that there are 318,979, ,564, 900 ways Of
playing the first four moves on each
side Of the boards. Other masters Of
