TROUBLE IN DINING ROOM
Little Mixup Between Ladies Accepted Philosophically by the Torpidville
 Landlord.

At one time yesterday it looked like we was going to have a little trouble here in the dining room, but it didn't come to nothip' much" related the landlord of the Torpidville tavern. Maxine and Sylphte, the young la dies that are waitin' table, got to squab- blin' about a pint of etiquette, or the merits of their respective fellers, or something hathaway, as ladies is everlastin'ly doin'; and Sylphie, reck- on it was, told Maxine, or mebby Max inc told Sylphie-anyhow one told the other that she wasn't no better than she ort to be. And Maxine, or Sylphie whichever it was, got sorter fussy about 1t, and answered that she was too, and she didn't care who knew it! And then they kind O tied in on each other and went round and round as it were, and it took 'em quite a while after it was over to wash the ketchup and broken glass out of their coffers, as they call their hair. But that's all it amounted to, and these's no use in firin' 'em, for ladies will be ladies and there ain't no help for il" l" Kansas City Sun

POINTED WAY TO SALVATION
Preachers Advice Was All Right but His Friend Also Had Something
 Wise to Say.

Senator Samuel A. Ettelson, speak ing recently at a banquet, told the following:
 "A colored preacher stood up on Sunday and said: My text this morn ing, brothers and sisters, am What Shall I Do to Be Saved?" To me there seems only one way to be saved, and that am to quit thisere extravagant living. Back to the simple life, say l. There am going to be no chance for you to be saved so long as you keep up this high living. If there is any thing that is going to kill our race it is these'ere luxuries. Better go hun gry and cold like the wolf. Go out and face the rains and fight the storms. Go wade with the crane. You will grow rugged and you will grow tough, but you'll walk like man. Yes. sir, that am de way to salvation that am de way to get saved
 Just then a tall colored man, ris- ing from his pew in the rear of the church, interrupted the preacher, shouting; This am no way to be saved. You just jump right through that back window and run just as fast as your legs will carry you, for the county sheriff am here with a warrant for your arrest for stealing them chickens from.

WANTED TO FINISH THE JOB
Pride in His Work, Not Tender Heart, Was What Induced the Chauffeur
 to Return.

They were going along the public highway at a leisurely rate of forty miles per hour, when a decrepit hen and rooster started to do the chicken special-cross the road
 The front and hind wheels on the right side struck the poor, old, stiff- jointed rooster amidships, and with one squawk he succumbed
 Immediately the man at the steering wheel started to slow down and to look about for a place to turn.
 His solicitous wife turned to her seatmate and said
 Isn't that just like his tender heart? He won't be satisfied unless he goes back and settles for that rooster. He just cant bear to feel he has injured anyone or anything"
 Then louder, to her husband, she said: George, remember that ap- pointment. We haven't any time to go back for anything"
 Glancing at the clock near his feet and at the speedometer near by, he sighed and said:
 You're right, Jennie; but I just know if I had turned back I could have killed that old hen just as easy as I did the rooster. Judge.

ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY

R. F. D. No. 1, Lewisburg, Ky.-"Fff- teen years ago I was badly affected with eczema upon my scalp first, then it spread all over my body and con- tinued to grow worse for four years. It began with a dry rash. After form ing thick scales or scabs the irritation forced me to scratch the scabs off and the hair would come out with them. Upon my face and body the sores would get inflamed and they disfig- ured my face. It was worse where my clothes irritated them. The erup- tion was yellowish watery kind, sometimes bloody. In warm weather it was so bad I was not able to work on account of the raw irritating sores on my head and body:
 After trying various medicines without relief I tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After using four cakes of Cuticura Soap and four boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle Of the Resolvent I was entirely sound and we'll and have been for eleven years" (Signed) w. H. Williams, Mar. 19, 1912.

PROTEST
 MADE BY ENGLAND
Objects to American Ships Be- ing Given Preference
 Through Canal.
CLAIMS TREATY VIOLATIOh
Aaws Regulating Trust Owned Ships Would not Apply to Canadian
 Railroad Owned Ships.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 shington.-Great Britain's formal note of protest against that section of the Panama canal act which eXempts American coastwise shipping from payment of tolls for passing through he canal, a document written by Sir Edward Grey, British minister for for eign affairs, was presented to Secre- :ary of State Knox by James Bryce, British ambassador.
 Mir. Bryce read the note to the sec retary at the latter's home. 1t is an elaboration of the points of objection n the note pr.~ ented to the State Department last July. In brief these objections are:
 That while it was clearly in viola ton of the -Pauncefote treaty either to remit or refund tolls on all American shipping using the canal, the same objection probably would ap- ply to the coastwise trading shipping in view of the probable impossibility of framing regulations that would not result in a preference to American shipping. In addition to supporting these points by long arguments, Sir Edward indicates very clearly that strong resistance will be offered to any attempt to exclude from the canal British ships owned by Canadian rail roads or whose owners may be guilty of violating the Sherman antitrust act He holds that this section of the act cannot apply to British ship. ping, but only to United States yes sels.
 He also indicates in his note that underlying the objection to the ex. emption from toll of American coast. wise ships is an apprehension that in the future the principle might be ex- tended to cover American ships in the foreign trade
 Otherwise the note is devoted al most entirely to an effort to demon strate that any such exemption of American shipping as is proposed is in direct conflict with the terms of the Hay-Pauneefote treaty and that President Taft was clearly wrong when he took the contrary view.
 Secretary Knox listened tentatively to the reading of the note and prom ised to take the matter under care full consideration, which he felt would require some time

Not Used to "F1igh Life"

An old farmer was in London visit ing his son, who had got on in the world, and who kept large house, servants, etc.

Push Sale of Red Cross Seals.

The American Red Cross has al ready printed over S5,000.000 Red Cross Christmas seals and probably the edition will number 100,000,000 before the end of the campaign. If the anticipations of the anti-tubercu- losis workers are. realized, no less than $400,000 will be obtained from the sale of Red Cross seals. Practi- cally all of the money remains in the state or city where the seals are sold, only a very small percentage of it is going to pay for the cost of the print ing and distributing the seals and for the expenses of running the campaign.
 In case any persons cannot obtain seals in the community where they live, they can secure them by writing to Red Cross Seal Headquarters, 715 Union Trust building, Washington, D. c. Red Cross seals cost one cent each, and every seal sold is bullet in the fight against tuberculosis.

full social evening in the church par

That he walked from East Chicago
to Gary in order to be at work on time
and. having left his watch at home he
did not know what time 1t was. He
entered the car barn for the purpose of
waiting for the first car to go out. In.
