Andy Mambeck, who eats pan
cakes for breakfast from the first
frost to the informal opening of
spring, will have to look we'll to
his laurels, it being evident that
Frank Dildine is after them.
Frank likes pancakes himself and
feeling thirsty the other evening
he went into the kitchen afcer
drink. 1t was dark in there but
Dildine knew the general direc
ton to the water pitcher. He
poured out a glassfull and down
ed it. Returning to the sitting
room his wife noticed a rim OF
white frosting around his mouth.
Investigating she found that
Frank had helped himself to a
drink of pancake batter which
she had fixed for breakfast. He
survived the batter, however,
but as a punishment for his mis-
take his wife would only give him
sixteen pancakes for breakfast
next morning, claiming that he
already had the other eight Of
his regular portion.

Il Played Momsntous Part In Ameri.
can History.
The war between this country and
England in 1912 was caused by one
vote, and, stranger still. the small mar
gin came from pig getting its head
stuck in a rail fence. 1t was Rhode
Island fence at that. but built much
like Virginia worm fence.
They were having an election OF
members Of the legislature in Rhode
Island. One Federalist put OF going
to the election and left himself just
time enough to get there before the
polls closed. Just as he got on his
horse and started for town be heard a
pig squeal. He looked around and
saw that the pig had its head damned
into that old rail fence. and anybody
who, knows snything about hogs
knows that the hogs would have eaten
that pig up II 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 Democratic
member OF the legislature was elected
from that district by one vote. and he
would not have been elected II that
Federal had got there on time. In
the legislature a Democratic United
States senator was elected by one vote
and that Democratic legislator who
had been elected by one vote voted
for him.
In the United States senate they
voted for the war of 1912 by one vote
and that Rhode Island Democratic
senator who had been elected because
that pig was caught in the fence voted
for the war of 1S12.-Popular Maya

Berlin. May 15.-The good house
wives of Berlin are in an unfortunate
plight. and their dependent menfolk
are in a position not less enviable, ow-
ing to the remarkable dearth of do
mestics, chiefly attributed to Ger
many's industrial prosperity which Gre
ates a great demand for female labor
in all branches OF commerce and man

The tables have been completely
turned, and the mistresses have prac-
tieally to go down on their knees and
agree to all sorts of stipulations laid
down by the girls in order to stand any
chance Of engaging a servant.
The number of vacant situations in
private houses exceeds the number of
cooks and maids seeking such posi-
tions approximately in the proportion
of ten to one. because the young girls
of this country, very much of whom
are imbued at an early age with revo-
lutionary Socialist doctrines, shun the
restrictions of domestic service, and

ers have to endure grave Inconvenience.

these girls holding themselves aloof

In Berlin there is what may well
be described as human market
where the few available servants may
be interviewed at certain hours suited
to the convenience of the maids. Al
these institutions, which act as me
diums between employers and EN-
ployes, distracted ladies', tired ol
scrubbing floors, washing dishes, and
doing ordinary mental housework, vie
with one another in their attempts te
entice the maids into service, anG
spirited bidding for their labor is car
ried on.
The maids. on their side, thanks tt
the operation of the law of supply anC
demand, are able to demand fame,
prices for their services. and sucl
girls as are willing to don cap an(
apron are assured of earning substan
tial incomes. 1t is not, however, il
actual money alone that they make
their terms. Each bargains for Ger
