Every bullet has its billet" sang a
poet long ago, but some bullets find their
mission ends in love and not in woe. For
example. look at all the bullets that didn't
hit Captain Arthur Carmichael as he
and Teddy charged up San Juan hill.
Suppose any one Of them had hit him in
place other than the fleshy part OF
the leg above the knee-what might have
happened in Ehrenstein! But the hurting
bullets missed him as they flew in furious
whirl, and he was saved TO bring a throne
TO the sweetest little girl. To be sure,
he got the girl he wanted. and the
credit
Well. perhaps Harold McGrsth ought
TO have the credit, after all. He has
made considerable improvement in this
matter Of stealing infants Of royal birth
and concealing them until later on in
life, when they are suddenly restored
through the ministration Of some COM
mon person from England or America.
Balfe began It, when he sviped the dear
little daughter Of the count, and had her

walnuts may carry off the palm among

but the peanut is undoubtedly the most
generally popular nut there is. The vast
trade in 1t is not generally realized. nor
that Of recent years the hard labor in
planting. picking and threshing peanuts
Is being almost entirely eliminated. Ma
chinery is steadily replacing the familiar
negro on the peanut farms. There are
gangplows for breaking the ground, for
sowing, for sorting and cleaning Ia most
