WARS CAUSED BY TRIPLES

Many times 1t has happened that a
about by an incident trivial and even
ridiculous. Thus the war Of the Span
Ish succession is said to have been
caused through a glass Of water. A
lady, Mrs. Masham, was carrying a
glass OF water, when she was OBJ
structed by the Marques de Torey. A
slight scuf1e ensued, and the water
was split, The marques thereat took
onense and bad feeling ensued be-
tween the English and French courts,
with the ultimate result that a war
was declared.
AS absurd In its origin was the war
that took place during the common
wealth of Modena A soldier stole q
bucket from public well belonging
to the state OF Bologna. Although the
value of the article did not exceed 30
cents, its annexation was the signal
for fierce and prolonged war. Hem
ry, the king Of Sardinia, assisted the
in one Of the subsequent battles he
was made prisoner. The bucket is
still exhibited in the tower of the
cathedral of Modena.
A third instance of a war resulting
from a trifling cause was that be-
tween Louis VII of France and Henry
II. Of England The archbishop of
Rouen decreed that no one should
wear long hair upon the head or chin.
Louis submitted to the decree. where
up his wife, Eleanor, rallied him
upon his appearance. A quarrel en-
sued, which resulted in the dissolution
of the marriage and Eleanor's mar
riage with Henry. BY this marriage
the broad domains in Normandy, fors
merry belonging to Louis. passed into
the possession of Henry. Louis holly
incensed. made an attack Gu Norman
dy. and henceforth for h%arly three
hundred years were wageS those dew
astating wars which cost France up
wards OF 100000 lives.

ORIGIN OF CRESCENT ROLL

The story of the origin OF the ores
cent-sfaped Vienna roll is worth re.
calling. 1t arose in the sixteenth cen.
fury. when the Turks were besieging
Vienna. and falling to carry it by as.
sauIt, began to drive mines under the
walls. At that period the city's bake.
houses were in the walls under the

were almost through the sound of the

Nothing Seriously Wrong, but Old
Gentleman Had Some Trouble
With the Elusive Onion

An aged country couple. on the
urgent invitation of grandson who
lived In the city, were on for visit.
The grandson's wife was very anxious
that the first meal should be one
which the aged couple would enjoy
after their long ride in the train. and
accordingly the table groaned under
its burden of good things to eat.
In the course Of the repast she no

A TONIC LAXATIVE
Pe-ru-na, an Up-to-Date Family Medicine That
Should Be In Every Home

sease has really gained a foothold in the

of good tonic laxative the great major
ity of cases of sickness would be pre-.

Peruna is remedy that should be kept
in the house. It's virtue as a preventive
TO disease is the thing I wish chiefly to
emphasize.
A slight condition of constipation may
lead to serious sluggishness of the bowels,
biliousness, re-absorption of poisonous ma
terial and finally sickness. Or apathy OF
the stomach in which the food is not rel.
ished, may gradually lead to atomic dyspep-
STA or to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one Of these conditions
few doses of the tonic laxative Peruna
would set matters right. This is why tha
remedy should always be kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as .
household remedy is understood no homa
would be without it. Cathartics, pills and
powders would be discarded. Irritating
tonica would be no longer taken. Alec
holic drinks would have no place. With q
few doses of Peruna vigorous appetite il

Of the bowels their function Is gradually
restored.
Most la1atives are weakening in their
effect A tonic laxative guards against
this weakening effect. Until right living
has become so thoroughly established that
all medicines are superfuous, Peruna win
be needed. It is exactly the remedy thai

How big an income should a young
man have before he is justified in get
ting married? This question is asked
in various departments of the Sunday
papers at various seasons OF the year,
and it is variously answered. Condi-
tons change and domestic happiness
changes with the conditions.
The best answer we remember to
have heard was given by a synical
bachelor and skeptic last week. This
person was in the newspaper office
when the woman editor opened her
mail and read forth this question:
Gould a young couple be happy on
$500 a year,"
''sure they could" answered the
skeptic eagerly. They couldn't live
together on it."

This action Of the gallery had little
or no effect on the result, but a num-
Der of golfers publicly stated their re
gret tht cheering like that at boat
races or football games should have
occurred, although they realized and
stated that it was impossible to check
these outbursts of enthusiasm.

A resume of the play shows that
while Ouimet was frequently out
driven with iron and wood, his game
was far steadier and more consistent
than that of either Ray or Nardon.
Ouimet played line shots all during
the match, his direction being little
short of remarkable, considering the
soft, muddy condition of the turf.
In putting, too, he was steadior ana
more accurate than either Ray or

RICHARDS LAW
Receives a Scoring in the Senate
With Richards in the
Gallery

Pierre, March 3.-Dick Richards
may nave enjoyed himself hugely when
he sat in the senate gallery ard saw
the members of that body refuse to
repeal the Richards primary law, but
did not exhibit any signs Of hilarity.
Although the senators decisively de-
clined to deprive the people of a chance
to operate under the law which they
had adopted, they did vie with each
other in kickin' that bill around.
Senator Cone. the acknowledged par
lianentary authority of the legislature,
classed the Richards law as IAN abso-
lutte fraud perpetrated upon the limo
cent people of South Dakota mere
tumble of words without coherent
meaning" Other senators were
equally pointed in their remarks and
the declaration was several times made
that Richards use of money in news
paper advertising had been the cause
Of the initiated law being adopted.
Very few of the senators knew
that Richards was in the gallery un-
til after the session was over and the
general circulation of this news later
was the source of much amusement.

CHARGES FILED
Against Senator B. B. Bowel for
Attempting to Bride
Brinker

Pierre, March 3.-More developments
are resulting from the investigation
of the committee in connection with
the department Of school and public
lands. Dennis O'Leary, a newspaper
correspondent, testified that he had
been the go-between for Senator Bow
ell of Lake county, who made charges
at the beginning of the session against
Commissioners Briuker. His testimony
was that Bowel wanted to pull down
his charges against Brinker for a con.
sideration. O'Leary testified that
Bowel offered at first to withdraw for
the sum of $3.50, and that this offer
be conveyed to Brinker, who rejected it.
The attorney general has the matter
in hand and las fled charges of solicit
ing a bribe against this member of
the Legislature. AS il finally turned
out no money was actually paid, but
the findings give grounds for an ac-
tion against Senator Bowel.
Bowel testified that Brinker. by
opposing him in his county campaign
when running for senator, had cost
him about $3.50, and this amount he
sought to get back by soaring Biinker
on threats of an investigation. The
testimony developed that Brinker had
taken an active part in the campaign
against Bowel and that O'Leary, who
had transmitted the information to
Brinker through his deputy, N. M.
Hanson. had related the facts and said
that $3.50 paid over would cause Bow
ell TO withdraw his charges.
