 ters. While in Amarillo l met an old sweetheart of mine and immediately we fell to talking about the problem of love and marriage. 1 found that her views had changed considerably since last we met back there in La Porte, Indiana. "When I marry" she said, q want d man who will wash the dishes, do the laundry, clean the house, run errands and stay at home every night"
 ''You don't want a man, replied "what you want is husband. And during my somewhat varied career in America and other spheres inhabited by human beings, I have found time to aquaint myself with the fact that if woman cant get the man she wants she'll finally take the man who wants her.
 I had very narrowing experience while in Amarillo. One night me and Jo-Jo pulled off q stunt at one of the thrateys there, and as 1 was anxious to learn how we impressed the natives, 1 left an order to have the morning paper laid at ny door in the hotel. About s o'clock the next morning, l arose and slightly opened the door to see if my pape? was there. It was in the hall all right, but it was out of my reach. See ing no one in the hall, 1 momentarily decided to take a chance and stepped just outside the door to grab the paper. It was one of the many sad mistakes l have made in my eventful life. That i'2f@"naE -,!G@r 7" s;s e<it3s FI5ts- % spring yale lock-and there 1 was in the hall of a strange hotel clad only in nightshirt made by my poor old grand mother back there in Adrian, Michi- . gan. All of d sudden it seemed as though about d hundred women had business out in that hall. l cannot de- scribe my feelings in this cold type. Finally in that bunch of women, l dis covered one who was making a noise like d chambermaid. With the per spiracitv of her craft she immediately discerned that 1 was in trouble and With Ter patskey she opened my door, through which entered my room at d gate that would make Kentucky race horse look like burro.
 Another odd experience l had at that same hotel was at the breakfast table a little later on. A wedding party from Fort Worth was being seated at one of the tables. Speaking suddenly as though he had forgotten something, the groom turned to the best man and asked, "Have you kissed the bride?' ''Not recently" came the tactless answer.
 At another table near me sat a big, red muzzIed Irishman. As the waitress served him with his breakfast she propped a large mirror directly in front of him. This proceeding was new one to me and I hastened to ask the girl waiting on me why this man had to have looking glass in front of him at the table. "That man," she said, is the greedest man in Texas. He always insists on eating in front of a mirror, so his meals will look double their size.
 It seemed as though the patrons of this hotel were all peculiarly afflicted Directly in front of me were two good

AVIATOR JOKES WITH DEATH
Lincoln Beachy Drops 400 Feet to
Thrill Loss Angeles Spectators.

Los Angeles, Jan. "a Lincoln Bea-
chy, whose daring feats of flying have
been the feature of the international
aviation meet here, played CHASTITY
joke late yesterday on a crowd that
was still on edge as a result of the
tragic fall of Rutherford Page Mon
day afternoon.
After several thrilling dips, Bea-
chy rose to an altitude Of 400 feet,
from which he mad sheer drop, al
most perpendicularly and disappear
ed in the gully, where Arch Hoxsey
fell to his death year ago. From
the granstand it appeared that Bea-
chy had fallen and when he did not
reappear after an interval of more
than a minute automobiles loaded
with doctors, mechanicians and re-
porters dashed to the foot of the hill.
1t was fully three minutes later when
Beachy reappeared at the north end
Of the course, flew past the grand
stand and laughingly waved to the
crowd which had experienced all the
thrills of witnessing an aerial trag-
edy.

FIRST JAPANESE IN AMERICA
He Was Shipwrecked Lad and Was
Brought to This Country
In 1941.

The first Japanese who ever came
to America, as far as is known, was
Manjiro Nakahama, a 14-year-old lad,
who was picked up by the captain of
an American fishing vessel in 1871,
twelve years before the coming Of
Commodore Perry to Japan.
Nakahama with four companions
had sailed out into Abe ocean on q
fishing expedition, their boat had been
wrecked by a storm, and they were
finally washed ashore on desert
island in the northern Pacific. Three
months of dire privation were passed
on the island before the little party
was rescued by the American vessel.
His companions were left in Hawaii,
but Nakahama, who became a great
favorite of the captain, was brought
to the United States and sent to q
New England school. And when Com
modore Perry came to Japan, Naka.
hama was able to act as Interpreter in
the negotiations carried on between
the American ENJOYS and the Jap,
anese feudal government authorities.

.SAGENG GETS I'm BAD"
Secretary of State Discovers Otter
Tail Senator Holds One Too
Many Offices.
NIX SAYS ATTORNEY GENERAL

The late Populist party in Otter
Tail county-State Senator Ole o. Sa-
geng, now a Progressive Republican,
and four years ago candidate
against Congressman Steenerson, is
"in bad" with -. Secretary of State
Schmahl. ~@~ p ~ - e., T.
A constitutional provision says no
state senator shall hold any public
office except that of postmaster, dur
ing the time for which he was elect
ed. Articles of incorporation of the
Park Region Mutual Telephone com
pany were received from James A.
Brown of Fergus Falls.
The secretary of state scanned
them hastily and was in the act of
passing them to his clerical force to
be recorded when he happened to
glance at a signature at the bottom.
Subscribed and sworn to before
me, Justice of the peace, for and in
Otter Tail county, Ole O.. Sageng,"
reads the affirmation.
Mr.. Schmahl then hurried to the
office of Attorney General Smith.
"Can a man legally be State Sena-
tor and a justice of the peace, at the
same time?' he asked
He can not" Mr. Smith said.
Whereupon the secretary Of state
returned to his Office, wrapped up the
articles of Incorporation to be re-
turned to Mr. Brown at Fergus Falls,
and dictated, in part, as follows:
Il notice that the official taking the
jurat is Ole o. Sageng, and signs him
self Justice of the Peace of Otter
Tail county, Is not this gentleman
the senator from that county? If so,
there is a constitutional prohibition
against him holding any other office
but that of senator, with the excep-
ton of postmaster, and consequently
the. occupancy of the office of justice
of the peace is invalid and this ac-
knowled gment void
Later, Mr.. Schmahl went to the
state treasurer's office and compared
the signature on the articles of in
corporation with the signature on
the voucher which Senator Sageng
receipted when he drew his salary.
He declared them to be the same.

Whether there will be a general

when the present wage agreements
expire, depends upon the success of

miners which went into session be-

The miners are represented in the
conference by the special committee
appointed by the United Mine Work
ers. Nearly all of the mine owners
of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio are rep
resented, together with some of the
independents of the western Penn

The demands to be presented by the
miners concerning wages and work
ing conditions for the future were
agreed upon by the convention Of
