Question of Grammar.

The ready wit of the late Eugene v.
Ware, author of "The Washerwom-
ans Song and other poems, is shown
in the following story:
He was giving dinner. says Lip
nincott's, at his home in Kansas City,
Kan, the place TO which he had re-
tired after he resigned from the office
OF pension commissioner at Washing
ton under Roosevelt.
The guests were equally divided be-
tween Missourians from the twin city
across the line and Kansans. All pres
ent had imbibed the spirit of their
genial. humorous host.
Said a Missourian; You Kansans
always have your brass bands going
and your flags flying. We from Mis-
souri, get tired of your cocksureness.
Tell me, what have you decided about
the hen, for instance; does she sit or
does she set?"
I'VE don't bother about things ike
that" flashed Ware. What concerns
us, when she cackies. is has she laid
or has she lied?'

gets a salary of SIS month, but is
required to pay for his own supplies
and the transportation Of the same.
Transportation of forest service equip
ment to and from the station is fur
nished, but that expense for a season
does not exceed SIS. It Is difficult to
estimate the amount of money saved
by the establishment OF this perma-
nent lookout, but the sum is very
great The only other feasible method
of patrol would be to select number
of less important peaks and establish
lookout stations on them
This would multiply the expense by
at least four but would result in no
better service. To increase the num-
Der Of guards would mean heavy ex-
pense, and probably would not give
as good results, for the reason that
the heavy forests on the lower hills
act as a screen, which makes it prac-
tically impossible to descry fires at a
distance.
Between July IL. 1911, when the sta
ton was ready for use, and Septem-
Der 80, 2S forest fires occurred in the
Harvey forest. Seventeen of those
We're reported by the guard at the
lookout station, and in only two cases
where the lookout reported fires had
previous report been received. Six
fires were reported from the lockout
station which were within the Black
hills forest, and one fire was outside
forest boundaries. In every case the
rangers were able to get to the scene
promptly and to extinguish the fire
before any appreciable damage had
been done
1t is probable that the success of the
Harvey lookout will result in the es-
adjustment of similar stations in 9TH
er forests. The old adage that an
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure seems particularly applicable
to Uncle Sans fire threatened timber

One of the most economical six
room cottages ever built is represent
ed in this design. 1t is 20 feet in
width by SS feet In length, with both
porches built into the main frame.
The layout Of the rooms is well liked
by most people; in fact, it is a very
popular house, both for looks and for
convenience, besides making a very
coy, comfortable home at moderate
cost.
On the first floor we have good
living room, IL feet square, and
splendid dining room several feet
larger. The living room is entirely
shut off from the other part of the
house which is considered a great
advantage by some housekeepers.
Economy also is adhered to in build
ing the STAIR The cheapest way to
get upstairs is to build the steps be-

satisfactory arrangement. too, espe-

Always Leap Year in New Guinea.

So far as proposals of marriage are
concerned in New Guinea it is always
leap year, for in that island the men
consider 1t beneath their dignity to
notice women, much less to make
overtures of marriage. Consequently
the proposing is left to the women to
do. When the ebony belle falls in
love with man she sends a piece or
string to his sister, or, If he has no
sister, to his mother, or another OF
his lady relatives. Then the lady who
receives the string tells the dusky
Adonis that the particular damsel is
in iove with him. No counting fol-
lows, however, for it is considered bad
form to waste time in such pursuit.
If the man thinks he would like to
wed the lady. he meets her alone, and
they decide straight away whether to
marry or drop the idea. In the for
mer case the betrothal is announced.
The man is then branded on the back
with charcoal, while mark Is cut In
to the woman's skin. No breach OF
promise actions are possible in New
Guinea, though If the lady is Tilted her
friends may hunt her lover up and
"go" for him.

CROWN PRINCE sHlRKS DUTY?

The article attacking the crown
prince for neglect OF military duties,
which is attracting great attention,
being reproduced in many leading
newspapers, appeared originally in
Der Tuermer, monthly review. &C
cording to Berlin dispatch. 1t was
written by Herr Guenther Won Vie
brogge, a retired officer.
The article observes that up to the
time when the kaiser appointed his
heir to the coIonelcy of the famous
Deaths Head hus sars at Danzig last
September the crown prince had never
done any military service worth mem
tioning. 1t was hoped that the COM
mand would at last fill the prince, in
whose veins the blood of so many
warriors flowed, with genuine en-
thusiasm for the profession of arms.
up to the present, however con-
tinues the article, the hopes aroused
by the transfer to Danzig have re-
NAMED unfulfilled. The crown prince
is absent far too much on leave. In
