zone touch Of nature makes the

certain store window downtown leads
one to believe an analogous conclu-
sion might apply to fishing, with the
bonds of sympathy perhaps only a
little less inclusive.
In the window is miniature mill
pond. On the bank venerable
fisherman peacefully snoozes, and
now and then his floating cork hobs
under with a naturalness that is
startling. Any mild spring day one
may find fascinated group of men
wistfully watching that cork. The
drowsy old man does not heed the
tug of the line, and it is too much
for the imagination of any man who
has ever felt the pull of fish and
its wriggling resistance as the lift of

TWIST ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

"The gentlemen are requested to
come in smoking" "Now," writes
an American from a German winter
resort, "what would you do if you
received an invitation to a card party
at the home of a nice family, where
you had been introduced? Light
your cigar or pipe when you reach
the house or wait until the maid
opened the door? Either would be
wrong, for the smoking refers to
the coat you are expected to wear.
What we call a dinner coat is
known here as a smoking This
sounds as queer to Americans as
Bobhaus.' That is what they call
the clubhouse of the bobsleigh club
of which the young duke of Coburg-
Iotha is the patron, which has just
been erected at Oberhof. Queer use
these Germans make of our lam
'guage."

USES FOR THE PAPER BAG
Careful Housekeeper Can Find Many
Ways Of Storing These Useful
Articles.


There are very few housekeepers
who do not find uses for ordinary
paper bags that are continually ac-
cumulating. A most excellent way
to keep these bags so that they will
always be not only easy Of access, but
in good condition and in assorted
sizes, is to have a pine board, three
inches wide by one inch thick, neatly
planed. Screw two brass rings in
the top by which the board may be
hung to the wall or pantry door, and
drive three nails with the heads filed
off on the boards.
Another good idea is to reserve a
small drawer in the kitchen or pam
try for them. Before being placed
in the drawer they should be care
fully smoothed and folded.
An enamel cloth bag tackled upon
the pantry door is also a convenient
receptacle for these bags. An ingen-
ious housewife has fashioned a bag,
convenient for holding paper bags
and also for odds and ends Of string.
The bag is made by cutting two
pieces Of linen duck of the length re-
quired. One piece is four inches mar
rover than the other. The narrower
strip is stitched across its width to
the wider strip to form three pock-
cts. The two strips are placed fatty
together and stitched and bound all
around with braid. The. middle
pocket is made wide enough to hold
large and small paper bags; the end
pockets are intended for string.

Joke That Presumably Had It's Origin

A statue Of King Da-udu, who

cleaned and restored, is now in the
museum at Constantinople, says a
recent newspaper dispatch. The dis
patch also contains an ancient joke
that was found written on one of
the walls Of Adab.

WILL WARN MEXICO
TO GUARD DEPUTIES
Wilson Lets Huerta Know Their
Lives Must be Safe

Washington, Oct. 14.-After con-
ference bes~een Secretary of State
Bryan and President Wilson it was an
nounced that kilograms had been dis
patched to both John Lind at Vera
Cruz and Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the
charge d'affaires at Mexico City, to
make representations to the Huerta
government that the United States
would look with displeasure upon any
injury to the Mexican deputies now un-
der arrest.
1t has been left entirely to Lind's
discretion whether he should return to
Mexico City to impress these views on
the Mexican authorities, but O'Shaugh-
messy has been directed TO address
himself to the minister of foreign rela-
tons and make it plain that the Unit
ed States attaches the gravest i'm
portance" to the arrest of the deputies
and is keenly interested in their fate.
An unofficial dispatch received from
Mexico City says:
"Victoriano Huerta. provisional pres
ident, proclaimed himself dictator of
Mexico and overthrow the constitu-
ton.
"Huerta issued a decree announcing
that he had assumed all the former
powers OF congress relating to war,
finance and the domestic affairs of the
nation He says he will permit the de-
partment OF justice to exercise its
functions unless it interferes with his
decrees, which will be issued from
time to time.
The constitutional exemption of
members of congress from arrest is
revoked by the decree and the dictator
proclaims that he alone is the supreme
power in Mexico. He pledges himself
to make a due report of his actions to
the next congress, to be elected on
Oct. g."

The Testimony In Question Reviewed
Acts of Governor Not Mentioned In
Impeachment Articles.
Albany, n. Y, Oct. 14.-Instead OF
proceeding toward a verdict the I'M
parchment court unexpectedly halted
to allow the lawyers to argue today
question of grave significance to both
sides.
The question: How shall the court
consider in wondering the guilt or IN
nocence of Governor Sulzer the testl-
mony to which Henry Morgenthau,
ambassador to Turkey; Duncan W..
Peck. superintendent of public works.
and Allan A. Ryan. Thomas F. Ryan's
son, gave for the prosecution? This
testimony reviewed acts of the COVER
nor not mentioned in the impeachment
articles.
The conversations which Mr.. Nor
genthau and Mr.. Ryan had with Mr..
Sulzer took place after he was i'm
peached Mr.. Morgenthau testified
that the governor asked him to "be
easy on me" and to treat the ambas-
sador's $1,000 contribution as per
sonal matter between you and me-
Duncan w. Peck swore that the gov
ernor advised him to perjure himself
before the Frawley committee as to
Mr.. Peck's $500 contribution to do as
l shall-deny it." And through Allan
Ryan. the governors futile attempt to
have William Barnes and Charles F.
Murphy stop the trial was revealed.
In the opinion of many persons, the
disclosures of the three witnesses hit
the Sulzer defense the hardest blows.
That It would count heavily in the YER
. dict was obvious. AS members OF the
court approached that verdict it was
borne in upon them that its place in
the impeachment articles had not been
fixed. The eight articles must be voted
upon one by one. Under what head
should the Neutrality-suspicious. tes-
timony come?
This was the problem which the
court confronted. Judge Miller had on
the assembling of the court suggested
that further argument be heard on this
evidence.
The court Immediately went into Sc
cret session, and for nearly an hour
and q half debated whether or not the
lawyers should be invited to argue in
relation to the evidence in question.
When the court reconvened in the
open the announcement was made that
1t was decided to hear counsel further
on the acts as testified to, not only by
Morgenthau and Peck, but also by Al
LAM A.. Ryan.

Mingling With
The People
By REGINALD D. HAVEN

Billy Riggs and l, being in Paris
when the warm season was coming
on, thought we would go to Switzer-
land We had both been in Europe
several years studying languages and
were well equipped with both French
and German. So we concluded to
tramp about, mingling with the people,
and not give away the fact that we
were Americans. We went to Inter
laken by train and from there laid out
pedestrian tours.
One of the first we made was to
Grindelwald and thence up the side of
the mountain to Scheidegg. There we
got a good dinner, after which we
walked up a short distance to a point
where we could see the glacier. 1t
was very wild and magnificent and all
that, but seeing such sights is not
what am going to tell you about. In
the afternoon we walked down the
mountain to Lauterbrunnen and short
" before we reached that place came
up with couple Of Swiss girls dressed
In the costume of the country.
1t occurred to both Billy and me that
IL we could walk the rest Of the way
with two pretty girls-nO girl could be
homely in the Swiss costume-it would
be away ahead Of trudging alone by
our own embarrassing selves. AS we
passed them | bowed very politely,
took off my cap and. pointing to
mountain whose name l knew as well
as my own asked in German-the lam
guage mostly spoken in this part OF
Switzerland-what it was.
''That's the Eiger" replied one Of the
girls.
boldly expatiated on the beauty of
the scenery, envied those who lived
always in the Alps, and as soon as I
ran out of something to say Billy took
up the dialogue. The girls did not
seem averse to forming our acquaint-
ance. and it was not long before we
separated them. Billy walking beside
one, l beside the other We both pre-
tended to be Germans of the lower
class, though not Swiss. l got in as
many nice things to my girl as ! could
think of, and she being to the country
born and unsophisticated didn't hest
tate to lay it on thick. Every now and
again / could hear Billy, who was
walking with the other girl only few
yards ahead of me. doing the same
thing.
When we reached Lauterbrunnen
the girls bid us goodby, saying that
they lived in chalet beyond the town.
We were near a refreshment house
standing beside the road, and l invit-
ed them to go up on to the porch for
a cheese sandwich and glass Of the
beer they drink over there, which is so
dreadfully mild that it wouldn't intox-
fcate a mouse. After consultation

apart from us they said they wouldn't
mind being refreshed after long
walk, and we all four went up on to
the porch. took Il table and called for
the beer and sandwiches.
Billy was talking glibly about our
life on the farm at home when one Of
the girls said:
You are not Il farmer; neither is he.
You are both gentlemen"
/ looked at Billy. and Billy looked
ut ME.
How did you find that out?' l
asked

''What nationality are we?' Billy
asked.

are not French. You are either Eng
fish or American. l think you are
American"
"By Jove. Billy" 1 exclaimed in the
plain American language, they're
smarter than thought they werc..'
The girls were very much tickled
that they had been able to tell our ma
tionality. They asked us to teach
them little English. So 1 told the
one l had walked with to pronounce
the words II love you" She spoke
them. II lofe YOU" and asked me to
translate them into German. but there
was look in her eye that made me
suspect that she already had an idea
as to their meaning. told her they
meant Thank you"
Meanwhile Billy was amusing him
self by telling the girl to say "KiSs
me-" telling her the words meant
"Good morning" Billy and ! kept
looking at each other. laughing over
the fun we were having. and by and
by the girls said they must go on home.
We asked permission to attend them,
but they declined. At parting one OF
them said:
Eve thank you for your kindness.

Swiss farmers daughters, We seem to
have amused YOU"
"The thanks are due to YOU" l re-
Piled. since you have given us very
pleasant hour
"Don't you think" said Billy. that
there was some shenanigan about
those girls?"
what do you mean?"
Seems to me they know more than
we think they do"
A week later we were in the casino
at Lucerne when l heard a woman's
voice behind me speaking with the
real American accent.
"For heavens sake. julie, where
have you been all this time? I've
been looking for you everywhere"
l turned. and there stood our Swiss
peasant girls.
"Stung!" cried Billy. and the girls
burst into laugh.
