Little Problem az to what Becomes
Of the Money" seems q Bit
Puzxlinq.

Here is little problem in the pop
ular course, "What Becomes Of the
Money!" A small bundle of linen
is sent to the laundry. The bill is
30 cents. But in doing the work
the laundry loses a house cap worth
30 cents. The laundry willingly adj
iusts matters and gives its patron
90 cents for the lost cap. The pa
iron, in turn, gives 30 cents back to
the laundry for the work done. In
reckoning the result this was appar-
emily the case. The owner of the
linen-minus the missing cap-had
20 cents to show for the lost article.
But the cap was worth 80 cents.
Therefore the patrons loss would
appear to be 30 cents. 1t apparently
was no better with the laundry. The
laundry received 30 cents justly due
it for work. But it felt impelled 20
make good the loss of the cap to the
customer, which meant the taking Of
80 cents from the laundry's profits.
Now, if the laundry thus lost so
cents and the customer lost 30 cents,
who got that money? Perhaps some
expert on the high cost of living can
figure it out.

CONTEST WITHOUT A TRUCE
Men Of Science Always on the Alert to
Discover Cures for Diseases of
the Human Race.

The civilized world always stirs
with futter of hope whenever the
word goes forth that a new cure for
some disease has been discovered. If
the disease happens to be one of the
great scourges of humanity, like
cancer or tuberculosis, the interest
is immediate and intense. The day
has gone when such news could filter
slowly through to the public. The
newspapers, especially in this coun-
try, knock at every door. Within
"a hours after a "cure" is an
nounced every one who is old enough
to read knows all about it.
There is a reasonable justification
for the springing hope, for time and
again in the past miracle has ap-
pea-ed. Smallpox, diphtheria, ty-
phoid and lockjaw are horrors that
we have passed in our upward climb.
All over the world trained men are
bending over test tubes and gazing
through microscopes in unremitting
efforts to make even the smallest
discovery. Here at last, perhaps, we
have the sure thing that the world
has been expecting. How can we tell
till we try it?-Youth's Companion

MADE THE LONDONERS LAUGH
American Orators Little Surprise .
Good Deal of a "Hit" In Brit
ish Capital.

An American orator sprang a
pleasant little surprise at a dinner
in London the other night. The
trick is well known in his own coun-
try, but is something of a novelty
here.
"Words do not come easily to me-"
he said, and the sympathy of his
audience was aroused.
81 cannot do BETTER" he contin-
ued, "than quote from an author ia
miliar to us ALL" Then he pro-
ceeded:
"a B C D f F G H u X L NJ
n o P @ R ST U Wv XYZ."
The quotation was delivered with
due emphasis, and anyone at the end
Of the room might have imagined
that he was saying something really
weighty.
Then he started all over again, GA
B G D." ETC., his voice rising and
falling. Here a touch of pathos,
there a flash Of rhetoric. Four or
five times he went through the per-
Torrance, the laughter growing as
his hearers entered more and more
into the humor of the thing.-Tit-

The election does nor come of until

to do little electioneering during
the hot summer DAYS. lest his would
be consti,unts forget he is in the
race. He is said to he the iavorite
Republican candidate, which is o
say that he is the tavorite candidate
since Laurel County in the political
league usually wins the pennant
hying a Republican banner Jones
has not yet definitely decided
whether he will remain IN the
mountains during the summer or
come out in the Blue Grass long
enough to lead the Pioneers in their
dash for the pennant."
Tilford is well known here and

would be glad to hear of his election
to this Office. He is a native Of
Laurel County and has always been
