a considerable. Here was /. steady.
sober, hard working, soft spoken, good
natured, loving and kind, neat and or
derby, fond Of home, sensible and lib
eral and fair minded, and she had to
sit away back and keep her mouth
shut when the neighbor women was
holding knockfest on their husbands.
Well. then bought them books.
She's a changed woman now.
There's a light in he r eyes and a
spring in her step that hadn't been
there for years before ! signed that
agents contract 1t was sure sur
prise to me, the gift Of eloquence she
showed. We used to sit together
evenings, she darning socks and me
reading the paper, and hardly word
between US till went to bank up the
fire for the night. Now she'll talk by
the hour if bring the conversation
around to Lives and Public Speeches,
and it makes her happy. Now that
she's got sixteen volumes of evidence
to prove I'm a chUckle headed idiot
and an improvident spendthrift and a
selfish skate that won't deny himself
nothing while his wife's sickenin' for
a decent hat, she's beginning to ap-
preciate me. She's a whole lot more
affectionate than when she couldn't
lay her finger on flaw in me. That's
the way with women every time.
Anyway, I don't see what in thun-
der you're a-standing around here for
with your hands in your pockets and
your mouth open. Get busy with that
brass work, you fiat faced loafer, and
when you've done that, go and fix up
that radiator in 81, and then come
and geport to me in Mikes Place. I'm
going to do little agency business,
myself, b'jiminy!"

Keeps Aeros Right side Up.

M. Moreau, a Frenchman, who
through his experiments at Melun as
serts that he has discovered the Sc
cret of automatic stability for aero
planes, has just received $4,000 from
an anonymous patriot, and great ex-
citement has been created in aviation
if not in military circles by the inven-
ton. M. Moreau, before he took to
aviation was a printers workman, and
he has spent all his savings in per-
fecting his invention.
The novelty in his design, so far as
can be judged from what has been
made public, consists in a suspended
cage that contains the seat of the pilot
and room for passengers. It is de-
scribed as a pendulum seat, and the
way it is attached under the frame
at a certain point between the pro
peller and the horizontal rudders in
fuences the center of gravity, which
is maintained constantly at fixed
point by the movements of the PEN
dulum seat.

The extraction of grease in queer
ways has proven lucrative means Of
support for several companies in Eng
lish towns. In 1912 the town of
Bradford, England, cleared between
100000 and $25O.000 from the sell
ing of grease recovered from the city's
sewage.
In horse tails there appears to
be considerable profit, too, judging
from the shiploads of them that come
in from China Their price varies
from SO cents to 81 a pound, and the
hairs, which are carefully arranged
according to the length and color, are
used in the making of brushes and
haircloths.

cold weather as understood elsewhere
is literally unknown; the temperature
is not only higher than that of the

Fined After Wedding Tragedy,

Greelcy.-The custom of shooting at
German-Russian wedding celebrations
received a hard jolt in the Justice
Court here as the result of Mrs. Fred
Bruner having had to undergo a Caesar
ian operation several days ago when
she was shot in the back while attend
ing a wedding. John Lindt was SEN
fenced to six months in the county jail
and Jacob Lichenwald to four months.
Three others in the party were fined
$25 and costs each. Sheriff McAfee
announced that no more shooting
would be permitted. 1t is expected
that several other arrests will be mado
and fines imposed as a result Of the
Windsor affair. Mrs. Bruner, the vic
tim, is recovering slowly from the gun
shot wound and physicians state that
she soon will be out Of danger.
