There recently sought the services
of a dentist quaint young Swede,
who, at the urgent insistence of his
newly-acquired wife, came to get his
mouth f1xed.' = '<
There were a number Of teeth too
far gone to be filled. - Accordingly,
these were extracted, and then the
dentist made an appointment with
the Swede for further sittings, when
the filling would be done. Instead OF
leaving the Office Olaf hung about
expectantly.
rs there something more you
want done?" finally asked the dentist.

NOT SUCH A GREAT AMOUNT
"Worth Ones Weight in Gold" Haze
Been Accorded Altogether Too
Much Significance.

You often hear of a man or a wom-
an or an object Of some sort that is
proclaimed to be worth his Cher or
its) weight in gold.' Did, you ever
stop to figure out what your weight
in gold would be? Or your sweet
hearts? Or your baby's? Or your
3avorite pipes? You can do tap
proximately. The value Of gold fluc-
tuates. Usually it runs In price some
where between SO and $40 and ounce.
Let's take the latter amount. It's cas-
Ter to figure with. Gold is weighed by
troy weight, twelve ounces to the
pound. In other words (at $40 an
ounce $240 a pound. Do you weigh
$50 pounds? Then your weight in
gold is about $36,000 (The "capital-
ization" Of man who gets an $780,
a-year salary.) Is your girls weight
40 pounds? She is worth only about
$26,400: Nearly $4,000 less than
yourself, though you probably won't
acknowledge ito her If your
pipe weighs two ounces it's weight in
gold is $40. Your 10-pound baby is
worth only $4,000 in gold. So you
see worth it's: weight in gold" is
not such exorbitant praise after all.
Next time tell her instead that she is
worth her weight in radium.

Shelvin Pep in Yale.

New Haven, Nov. 23.-Yale prac-
tically completed it's work for the
annual football game with Harvard,
by long signal drill and a ten min
ute scrimmage yesterday afternoon.
All the players except Bonseisler and
Gallaher took part in the scrimmage.
Coaches Sanford and Shevlin fol-
lowed the play closely and instilled
more snap in the team than has been
seen this year. Trainer Johnny Mac
key said last night the men are on
edge for the game Saturday and
there were no cripples. Even Cast
les who was hurt in scrimmage ear
lier in the week got in the lineup
today.
The Harverd back field men and
ends, accompanied by a number of
coaches, had several hours practice
on the field this afternoon behind
closed gates. After practice the men
were taken for an automobile ride,
before leaving for New London,
where the Harvard squad will re-
main until a few hours before the
game.
Yale and Harvard have played 0
to 0 scores for the past two years.

Bees Like Mineral Water,

For the tenth successive autumn a
mineral water factory at Cardiff,
Wales, was recently invaded by bees,
which come in huge companies. All
through the week the cloud of bees in.
creased in dimension, and at the end
of the week the avalanche" was q
record. The firm have consulted local
beekeepers and experts, but no one
can say where the bees come from,
although beekeepers in the neighbor.
ing suburbs state that they have lost
large numbers. Bee experts say they
may come from many miles around.
The remarkable thing is that al
though this one particular factory has
been honored by these armies Of Wis.,
itors for ten years two mineral water
factories quite near at hand have
been left severely alone. Another
curious thing is that the bees come
every morning as soon as day breaks
and depart when the sun does down.
They do not deliberately sting, but
some employees have been stung
through catching hold of some uten-
sill upon which bees have fastened.

MATTER FOR CAREFUL INQUIRY
Japanese Ministers Diffidence in Pree
ence Of Emperor Is Cause Of
Funny Break.

The late emperor of Japan was re-
garded with the greatest veneratiou
by his subjects, and this attitude OF
awful reverence was maintained also
by his ministers, in spite of the fact
that affairs of state made it necessary
for them to see him and converse with
him very frequently.
One Of these ministers, the Marquis
Matsugata, used to experience agonies
Of nervousness every time he had an
audience of his sovereign, and he was
never able to say anything distinct
in reply to him except the set phrase
II shall have careful investigation
made, your majesty"
This generally brought him safely
through short audience, but one day.
unfortunately, the emperor conde
seconded to discuss the marquis more
private affairs.
How many children have you?" the
emperor asked.
Back came the inevitable phrase
~ shall have careful investigation
made, your majesty"
The story loses nothing from the
fact that the marquis had a very large
family indeed.

Small Clue to Crime.

A mysterious st Petersburg crime
has just been solved by means of q
trousers button. Some days ago the
police found the bodies of well-to-do
couple named Andrejeiff lying near
the Nfnekaja railway station. bear
ing unm1stakable evidence of having
been stabbed to death. The wife was
known in the district on account OF
the valuable ,jewelry she used to
wear, and the jewelry was missing
when her body was found. No clue to
the identity of the murderers could
be found except a trousers button,
which was lying near the bodies, but
as this button was similar to those
used for a certain uniform q search
was Instituted. This led to the dis
covery of a man in the One Hundred
and Forty-sixth Infantry regiment
whose trousers were minus a button.
and on being accused of the crime he
Immediately confessed.

Get Even With the City FeIlers.

"Now and then," said lobe Sagg OF
Goshkonong, there comes over US
small town fellers low, febrile yearn-
ing to go to Kansas City for the pur-
pose of hunting up total strangers with
whom to match our hard-earned doll
lars, the merry game invariably result
Ing in our finding ourselves with q
hectic head, no money left and an all
pervading realization that we have
made gosling-green fools of ourselves4
This is very similar to the craving that
overtakes the city man, once in SO
often, to quit his comfortable Office
and buy expensive hunting tools and
Dutlandish raiment, and HE him down
here and tramp his legs off in the
worst weather of the season and
drink large quantities Of 40-rod whisky
and sleep on beds of pain and get
fined for trespass and contract the
rheumatism and age perceptibly, and
all for few measly geological or Or

Play Showed Good Coaching.
Miss Marjorie Knappen, instructor
in English and elocution in the high
school, must be given the credit for
the smooth gearing of the produce
ton. Her own personality and tai
ent shone through each part and it
was only after weeks of hard work
which resulted in nervous break
down Wednesday, that the play was
ready for an audience. To one who
has never tried to coach a play and
who knows nothing of the constant
discoura gements which arise, Miss
Knappen's work it not so evident;
but those who have tried appreciate
the effort it must have taken to
round out finished production. She
was assisted materially by the men,
bers of the high school faculty.
But a coach is not the caste and
work Miss Knappen could have done
little. A. E. Nelson, Al Neuman,
Earl Carson, James Malone, w. z.
Robinson, and Hiram Simons put in
to their roles more talent than the
writer has seen in many University
productions. The usual mistakes

those who were not familiar with the
play knew of no errors. AS 'Pro-
fessor," Hiram Simons portrayed a
type not usually found but which
was excellently played and which
furnished much humor. Mayne STAN

men with a familiarity hic1h 81 81 ew-

Premier honOrs among the girls
are as hard to give as among the
men. There was no outstanding star
as each was cast in a sphere of it's
own and each had fundamental
place to fill Mrs. Nelson, Gladys
Stanton, Flora Todd, Vera Backus,
Edith Ryan and Dorothy Torrance
were gOWned and hated in style and
it was no effort for the men to make
love to them.
Secondary Support Convincing.
The secondary support fell to Will
bur Lycan, Leon Battles, Delbert FL
letson, George Graham, Orville IT.
tus, Claude McIver, Alex Cameron,
Harold Hayner, and A. D. Bailey
and they put more life into the play
than secondary actors usually do.
1t was the large size of the cast that
made the coaching and general effort
of production so difficult.
But one blot appeared on the
'scutcheon. Chairs were placed in
the aisles and with a packed house
is caused unfavorable comment. Had
a fire broken out last night, one
overturned chair might have been
the cause of many deaths. It is hard
enough to clear any theatre in case
Of fire but with chairs in the aisles,
it would have been impossible.
Standing or placing chairs in the
aisles of theatre is forbid
den by state law; but even if not,
the risk is too great to warrant the
few extra dollars. The matter has
been taken up with Mr.. Brinkman
and assurances given that the aisles
will be kept clear tonight.
Doors will be open at Z D. m, to-
night and the first curtain will rise
at 7:30. Between the acts, a series
of moving pictures and illustrated
songs will furnish entertainment
