nnuhI. srs Assessment

Would you" inquiries the Green wood Journal, give the deaf m$= q verdict, if you were on the jury, who is suing for damages because he al- leges that he is paying for preaching he can't hear?"
 Personally we'd be inclined to rem der a verdict after the fashion of the immortal Paddy Divver. As the story goes. a loyal henchman of the clan. nsrled Danny, was arrested for an en- thnsiastie and successful assault upon an innocent third party. It was just before election, and Danny sent for his leader. The leader heard Danny's story and went to see Paddy Divver.
 Judge he said. q wish you'd be light on Danny. He's a good fellow, and can help US lot in the election. ["
 "Ali right," said Paddy, 'Tl give him thirty days."
 But that will keep him in jail over the eiectioni" the leader protested.

SALVAGE SHOT FROM THE SEA
seamen on English Coast Earn Money by Selling Old Projeetiles
 70 the Admiralty.

Shot picking is the "art" of retriey- ing shot and shell from the bottom of the sea In order to practice this profession nowadays a man must be in possession Of a boat, plenty of cour. age and a Iicerse.
 Target practice is carried on almost every day at Portsmouth, England, and the admiralty are willing to pay a good price for shells which are re- covered from sand banks 1Gd sha,nv water.
 Shot pickers 60 out to sea in boats, T-~etch the 1ring intently while it is in progress. and then, as soon as the last shot has settled in the water, dis perse in various directions in order to discover the shells.
 These are located by means of q long line weighted with lead, which has a small buoy fixed at one end. This end is thrown overheard, and the boat is rowed slowly in a semicircIe. The weighted line drags over the sand beneath the water and catches against any shell that is projecting above the sand. 4 thln. firm poie is then lowered, so that it makes a clean nne from .he shot to the side of the boat, and, while this Is held in place by one man. pick is thrust 5own by another to draw the projecting shot from the sand beneath the watsr./

MONTV1LLE, N. J., Aug. 10.-- When the rowing fever got into the blood of Bert Zabriskie the call uf the great west was irresistible. All his life he had lived in Montville: had been born here, married here. He wanted to see something of the world, he wanted to get away from the lone ly neighborhood where he had spent all of his years.
 And so one day, without saying goodby to his wife and his two lit- tie daughters, without telling any one whither he was bound, he struck out The wanderlust had overpowereG him.
 That was years ago Zabriskie never wrote home, nothing was ever heard from him; finally he was given up for dead, and became as a meEa- ory to his wife and children.
 Years passed. They were thrifty years for Albert James Zabrsskie. father of the man who had wandered away, and when some four years ago the old man died. he left a snug fortune of s100.000.
 The elder Zabriskie had two daughters. sisters of Bert By the terms of his will each of the three was to receive an equal portion ci his fortune. In his latter days he had added 8 codicil, providing that if his son Bert should fail to claim his share of the fortune before Bert's youngest daughter reached the age of twentyfour. the daughters should

Bishop Condemns

DES MONIES, Aug. l0.-Bishop Austin Bowling of the Catholic dio- cese of Des Moines, wno recently came from Providence, R. l., agrees with Cardinal Carvali that the pres ent styles in women's dress are as founding" He says, however, the American woman does not wear mod. ern clothes to be immodest, but to follow the dictates of fashion.
 Women are women,' said the bishop when asked for an expression, and they seek to follow the conven- tional in fashion as well as. along other lines, Women's fashions are hard to change, except by the people who manufacture the changes.
 T believe it would be difficult for the church to exert any influence to change the style of women's ap- parel.
 "Womens gowns grow more immod- est every year because they are de- signed in a country which is frankly immoral. The French openly discuss subjects which are not even whis- pered in America.
 T must confess that l am often startled by some Of the gowns of the day. The boldness of them is startling. Such gowns are displeass ing, even offensive to me l believe many men disapprOve of such clothes for women. l would never advise such clothes for women of my house hold if ] were the head of a family.
 Manufacturers of woolen goods and other fabrics are not in favor 1i the new fashions: Dresses are now so scant that business is not so good A wooden goods manufacturer in Con necticut told me the won1sn were wearing such Eilnt skirts and so few petticoats that the demand for dress goods and other cloth materials had been materially lessened.

Blamed for Soldiers Insult.

sCAMF DOUGLAS, Wis, Aug. IO.- The soldiers involved in the reported drunken orgy among state troops in the army maneuvers now in progress have set up an unusual defense. They are contending that the closefitting, modish gowns of the young women who claim to have been insulted were so extreme in style and of such a character as to make the soldiers suppose they were in the same class with the disorderly women who hoy cred about the maneuyer camp.
 The official investigation into the af- fair is being conducted secretly and the newspaper correspondents with the two armies agree that the inyesti gation, so far has shown no such orgies as were described
 The investigators were able to find no specific case of an attack on a woman, but there were many women of bad character in the vicinity Of the camps, and the nearest approach to attacks on women thus far dis covered were remarks addressed to country girls who came 10 see the soldiers. In these cases the soldiers say the girls were dressed in such way that the soldiers supposed the girls were part Of the other group Of hangers-On.

more there were to tell in a record of the years that had come and gone since he had struck out.
 There was some telegraphing and some letter writing on the part of the rover, all of which was quite natural, and as matters of the sort are bound to be settled if only they are helped along in the right way, Bert Zabris. kie finally decided to return.
 And what a homecoming it was, The welcome that was Bert Zabris- kies was as sincere as he could wish. When he reached the turn in the road that brought him in view of the house that had been reared from the ashes of the old homestead they were all out to meet him-wife and daughter and baby, too-and he was passed from one to the other and there were smiles of joy and tears of joy, and hand-shakings and em- braces.
 And of course there was a recon ciliation. Everybody agreed to for get the past and to make the fu- ture just as pleasant and happy as could be. A lawyer was called in and he declared that there could be no question as to Bert Zabriskie's right to the thirty-odd thousand dol. lars.
 Bert Zabriskie's hair is sprinkled with gray. His wife. too, has reached middle age. But they look forward to many happy years to gether.

WHY THEY LEAVE THE FARM
Story indicates That the Remunera- ton Some AgricuIturlsts Allow Their Sons Is Not Adequate.

"Just the other day I met : staIwart young fellow whose every appearance would indicate he was a son of the soil, says writer in Farm and Preside. Six years ago he left the old home. At that time he had very little education, but by steady, indus. trious labor he has won out and to day Is promising young lawyer. lie told me that the first year he left the farm he obtained employment in a machine shop at what seemed to his mind a large sum of money. SIP a week. He worked hard for nearly three months, when one day he re- ceiyed a telegram from his father. asking him to return at once.
 Having left delicate little mother. he rushed home with all haste, fearing to find some great trouble at the end of his journey. His father met him at the station and calmly explained that his hired man had left and he could not get his hay in alone. Ny young hero, not daunted in the least, informed his father that he had gwen up his job to return home and asted what pay he was to receive for ais work. The father promised a certain small sum. After two months hard work the son asked for money to buy a suit of clothes and received it. At the end of the season, when the young man wanted a final settlement he was put on from time to time, and at last went away to the city with an empty pocket and heartful of resentment"

School Land Shin,

One of the features of their public school training which the boys of Der lin, Germany, enjoy most is the 'land ship" on which young sailors go through regular daily training. The Iltis Is the name of the land ship which has been built and which has a crew of 120 boys. The larger boys act as officers. When they are at work on the land ship the boys dress in mid dy blouses and caps. There is gun practice on the land ship every day, and a naval drill. and all the usual work of a ship is done by the boys. They have the greatest fun in climb ing the spars and hoisting the sails, and life on the Iltis Is so popular that there are always more applicants for the crew than there are places to be filled.

 This seems to be a return to the Greek and Roman standards of mod esty.

Dear Me Girls! Such Scandalous Talk
 About Tight Skirts
Chicago Police Say They Are Vulgar and Detrimen- tai to Business; Soldiers
 Blame Garment

CHICAGO, Aug. l0.-Police Captain Gibbons, in charge of the traffic squad yesterday declared was on the tight skirts. He said that it was dangerous, vulgar and the cause Of street con gestion and detrimental to business.
 T only wish l had the power" said Capt. Gibbons, ito compel wom- en to discard the tight skirt Nothing would give me more pleasure than to strictly enforce a law compelling women to wear skirts loose enough to walk in with safety.
 The tight skirt is the bane of the crossing policeman. My men would rather see a truck load of steel beams get stuck right in the center of the car tracks than have one of these hobble-gaited traffic disorgan- izers with giddy eyes hop, or trip into their territory. There is only one thing for the policeman to do stop traffic both ways and put m two or three minutes guiding little Miss Hobble from curb to curb. My men save the lives of 5000 of them every day. It's hard enough to handle the crowds anyhow, but these tight fitting skirts do more than anything else 10 retard traffc in the congested district of Chicago.
 Some of these days there is going to be a panic in some of our big buildings and a lot Of women are going to be killed, because they won't be able to move quickly in their tight skirts
