A Wilson Story.

The following is a good Woodrow
Wilson story that is going the rounds OF
the press:
"Tell the story about the key, Cover
nor" said Tumulty one night, when Will
son was standing in front of the CORE
spondent's tent at Sea Girt exchanging
an anecdote.
"The Governor was making speech
one night" explained Tumulty, "and
this story took 'em just right They
went up in the air over it,"
"Why, We had been discussing the
high cost of living problem" said Will
son, "and had remarked what we need
ed to do was to find the solution. Then
this story popped into my head, and !
couldn't resist telling it.
at was onk of those hypothetical ques-
tons of printing, with the query: What
would you do under the same circum-
stances2' The hypothesis was this: A
young man had come to call on young
woman, and they were sitting somewhat
stiffly in the parlor, waiting for the moth
er to come down and act as chaperone,
as is customary in English homes.
While they were waiting. the young wo-
mans nose begins TO bleed, and the
young man, who remembers having
heard that a piece of cold metal applied
TO the back Of the neck will stop The trou-
Bile, looks around the room for piece
OF cold metal.
"He sees the key in the door, and in
his embarrassment he locks the door in
getting the key out. He applies the key
to the young woman's neck, but just at
that moment the mother comes down and
finding the door locked, demands en-
trance. In his excitement, the young
man drops the key down the young wo-
mans back. The question then was:
What would you do if you were the
young man2' And told the audience
that thought the answer certainly was:
Get the key at any COST"

Great Bargain Sale OF Machinery

The biggest bargain sale OF machinery
in history is promised upon the compile
ton of the Panama Canal. To dispose OF
machinery costing more than $l5,OOO,OOO
is the problem confronting the Govern
ment authorities when the canal is OPEN
ed.
Although understood in ageneral way,
Colonel Goethals, superintendent OF the
canal work, reports actual figures OF ma
chinery bought since the United States
began digging the "big ditch" Here are
a few of the principal items:
Steam shovels, l02; cars, 4,lSl; loco
motives, lS9; rock drills, 725; cranes, 79;
dredges, Ia; barges, "A.
Many of the locomotives and cars will
be useful in operating the canal and the
Panama railroad, but most ofthe dredges,
steam shovelS and mountains OF other
steel implements will be put on the block
for sale.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher has
suggested the plan of transferring much
of the discarded machinery to Alaska Tor
use in constructing Government rail-
road to the interior of that territory. II
Congress does not authorize the Federal
railway in Alaska, however. most OF the
Panama machinery will be sold for the
best price it will bring.
Colonel Goethals emphatically de-
clares, however, that the French plan OF
leaving discarded machinery to rot and
rust will not be adopted by this country.
Uncle Sam is too thrifty. Old corroded,
discarded machinery once usad by the
French in their attempt to dig a canal
were monuments TO their failure, lining
the canal route until the Americans took
charge. Some or the old French material
was used, but most OF it was dumped IN
10 the Jungle far from the excavations.

Attracting Birds In Summer.

The things that most attract birds are
food, water to drink, opportunity to bathe,
and safe nesting places. in summer food
is so abundant everywhere that most bros
nav no attention to dishes Of food provid-
ed for them; but if scraps from the table
are thrown into pan or kettle and plac-
ed in the middle of the yard, the blue Jays
and catbirds will feed upon them, and II
the dish contains yolk of egg, the orioles
will find it out, and carry this precious
food to their young.
The attraction for the largest number OF
birds in summer, however, is water.
Drive stake in the middle OF the yard,
away from all bushes and trees where
cats may lurk ; saw the stake of two feet
from the ground; nail to the top OF it a
block of wood one foot square; set on
this block a dish or pan at least the size
of the block, and about three inches deep;
cover the bottom of the dish with sod
from which all the dirt has been shaken.
To this bath will come, both to drink
and bathe, robins, orioles, grosbeaks,
catbirds, blue jays, bluebirds, wrenS,
wood -thrushes, fickers, purple grackles
in fact, all the birds OF the neighborhood. d.
The open place and the elevation make
such bath safe from cats, and also en-
able you to get good view OF the birds.
The sod bottom keeps green in the water
and serves to give the bathers confidence.
A stake about six feet high that stands
in some open place in the yard will be
used by several birds as lookout from
which to watch for insects. The king
bird will dart from it to catch flies; the
blue jay will perch on it to watch for bee
ties and caterpillars in the grass; and
robins and wood-thrusheS will take a
flying hop to it-seemingy on general
principles.
Nesting-places, when they can be pro-
yided are best of all-box houses or dead
tree trunks with old woodpecker's holes
for bluebirds, wrens and chickadees
brush-piles and gooseberry bushes tor
catbirds and brown thrashers, and old
dead limbs left on dying trees for downy
woodpeckers and flickers.

Treatment That Cured.

The good wife was very i'll, so bad that
she was having serious talk with her
husband.
James," she said, in low voice, Sin
case of-of anything happening to me, |
think that man of your temperament and
domestic nature should marry again, both
for your sake and for the sake of our chill
dren."
lanes dashed the moisture from his
eyes ere he replied, "Do you think so,
my dear 2"
The woman weakly nodded. 81 cer-
tainIy do," she said. "Of course, after a
decent interval"
James's face frightened up.
There, my dear, that relieves my
mind of great burden |" he said glee-
fully. "The little widow next door has
acted very friendly toward me since you
have been ill. She's not such a fine
woman as you are-not so strong -natureo
and intelligent-but she is pretty, plump
little thing, and think I'd better give
her a hint"
Next day the good wife was able to
sit up. The day after she came down
stairs. And on the third day she went
out for walk-and cut the "little widow
next door" dead.

scientists in America and Europe, are, in
the order OF importance: Wireless tele-
graphy, telephone, aeroplane, radium,

Ephesus, Statue Of Jupiter by Phidias,
Mausoleum of Ahemisia, Colossus OF
Rhodes.
The Pharos was lighthouse 400 feet
high. The Colossus was Of cast metal,
not half as high as the Statue OF Liberty.
The modern wonders were chosen
from a ballot containing So subjects OF
scientific and mechanical achievement.
There were blank spaces for the inser-
ton Of any other subjects the voters might
select. Wireless telegraphy got the great
est number Of votes. The Panama Canal
was given 100 votes; anaesthesia, g.,
and synthetic chemistry. 81.
Only one ballot, the last TO be received,
which bore the name Of one Of the most
distinguished authorities on chemistry OF
Munich, Germany, was checked for the
seven titles The total vote showed TO have
been selected. Six ballots--one from
India, two from France, two from Ger
many and one from the United States
showed the selection Of six Of the final
seven.

The wise man will plant PEACHES
this fall, as the epidemic OF "yellows

peach trees has passed and gone, and
