LEFT THE COLONEL THINKING
Probably After This He Made Some
Inquiries Before He Gave Up
His Money.

A certain old colonel was noted for
his great generosity. He had lost an
arm during one Of the engagements
In which he had seen service, and
this made him very sympathetic to-
ward all who had experienced similar
losses.
While walking on his estate one
day he met an old one-legged man,
evidently In abject poverty.
"Ah, you have met with a great
misfortune, like myself, l see," 10
marked the colonel.
"Ah." replied the old man. "and,
like yersel', colonel, l have spent a
great part O. my life in governments
service. and Q q lot o hard
work"
my poor mani" exclaimed the
kind hearted colonel, as he pushed q
half dollar into the old mans hand
Il fear you have received but a poor
reward for your services"
Eye may well say that, colonel"
replied the veteran as he hobbled
away.
But" added the colonel, you
didn't tell me where you served"
We'll. II it comes to that" the old
~reprobate answered. with q sly
chuckle, Il served my time in t-jail

DRAINING THE zUYDER ZEE
Will Be Costly Work, but Certain t.
Be Amply Repaid In the Value
Of the Land.

The proposal to drain the Zuyder
Zee is before the government of Hol.
land again, and in more ambitious
form than ever. The last plan con-
templated draining about 10000
acres. The present plan proposes to
unwater more than three times that
much. bikes are to be built, shutting
off the e from the famous bay.
Then four great "polders" are to be
walled of and pumped dry, while the
rest Of the area is left al a fresh
water lake, with canals leading to
various ports.
Whether the Dutch government un-
dertakes this task now or not, the
work Is sure to be done. Holland Is
both rich and land hungry. The engi-
neering problems involved are simple.
The estimated cost is about SIT, O00,-
000-a large sum for a small country,
perhaps, but the land thus brought
under cultivation will produce crops
worth $28, 000, 900 per year.
The Zuyder Zee as 1t stands today
is the result of a terrific storm in the
thirteenth century. Before that time
a fresh water lake occupied part Of
the area now covered by the waves
of this inlet and the rest was marsh
and meadow. A great hurricane came,
piling the waters of the North sea
against the Dutch coast. The feeble
bikes then in existence gave way, the
ocean rolled in, the soil was flooded
and then washed away, and a bay
was established that cuts Holland al.
most In two.
The proposed drainage work viii
restore the shore line Of the country
to something like Its early condition
and will reverse the only victory
ever won by the e against the
Dutch.

"Oh, such fun"
Let me try, Zilla."

him the first time!"
The three high class s~tenographers
in the Office of Huldane & Co. were
grouped about a table where one OF
their number was filing a parafined
paper bag from a water bottle.
1t was the I'd of September, the
postponed Straw Hat" day Of the
year. The sensible Office girls Of HUI
dane & Co. were usually precise and
dignifed, but they could not resist
folly as it flies. All day long from
the great skyscraper building, mis-
chievous Office boys and teasing type
writer's had gazed from the window in
quest of a belated straw hat in the
passing throng. Once spotted, 1t be-
came a target for all kinds Of mis-
siles, such as paper wads, soaked tow
els, and one unfortunate Panama
went skithering from the head Of its
wearer, borne along by a we'll direct
ed bar Of soap.
The infection had spread to the
merry group in the Huldane office.
One of the ingenious trio Of misses
had thought Of a new p~rojectile. 1t
consisted Of a paper bag filed with
water and tied with a piece Of string.
Miss Preciosa Huldane. who had
just arrived in the family automobile
to take her brother, Ransom Huldane,
home, smiling indulgently at the ex-
element of the girls. Then moving
to the window and gazing down, her
eyes lit upon the crown Of a neat
but weather beaten straw hat. almost

height. Its was a brisk. erect

ed to the girls.
Preciosa drew back slightly in some
dismay from the window frame as
she witnessed the commotion her i'm
pulsive action had created. The
weighted paper bag had grazed its
destined target, the straw hat. This
1t had knocked promptly from the
head Of its wearer.
The bag had struck the stone pave
ment. 1t burst with a report like the
explosion of an automobile tire. Its
contents spattered over the owner OF
the hat. He naturally looked up
wards, and Miss Preciosa caught a
fitting sight Of a reproachful but
handsome face Then Dale Winters

Ell HAGGARD
PLEASES PEOPLE
HEARD HERE BY A SMALL BUT
VERY APPREclATivE AUDI
ENcE ON THE COUNTRY BOY.

Eli Haggard lectured to email
but very appreciative audience for
the benefit of the Kings Daughters
hospital. Mr., Haggard's lecture,
THE Country Boy has been heard
by a number of Columbians and that
fact coupled with the further fact
that there has been an unusual run
of amusements here foreseveral days,
doubtless prevented a larger crowd
from attending. The lecture, howev-
er, has great merit 1t is true but
not stilted portrayal of the life OF
the country boy. Mr.. Haggard is
bright, humorous and true to life, but
his lecture is also interspersed with
some beautiful fights of real eio-
ouence. He has been on the plat.
form but a short time yet he has
made an enviable reputation as lee
turef.
