FRANZ J0SEF's KIND HEART
Little Incident That May Explain Why
Ruler of Austria Is Loved by
His Subjects.

Sense Of humor is another strong
trait of Emperor Franz Josef. One day,
unannounced, Franz Josef visited the
military academy at Wiener-Neustadt,
entered a classroom and, saying to the
officer hearing a recitation: Don't let
me disturb you," took a seat. On the
bench behind him he put his generals
hat. crowned with it's bush of long
straight feathers. A boy eyed the
green plumes, then slyly stretched his
hand out and plucked one Emboldened
by success, he took four, and would
have taken the rest had he not
touched his emperor's arm in the
process.
What are you doing that for?"
asked Franz Josef, viewing the de-
pleted bunch.
For a souvenir" the boy suffered.
But why SO many?"
my comrades would each want one,
too,' was the frank response.
We'll, l suppose there is no way out
of it but to give you the whole lot"
said the emperor, by this time laugh
ing heartily as he tore loose the bush.

of horror had been lost on the small
boy, his majesty remarked, But, cap

Great Defense,

The great adyocate-let us call him
Mr.. McSweeney-was defending a
man in a murder case. The case
looked hopeless, and insolvency sub
mitted no evidence for the defense.
So the public prosecutor, believing
that conviction was assured, ended
with just a few perfunctory re-
marks.
Then, in a quiet, conversational
tone, the famous McSweeney began to
talk to the jury. He made no men
ton of the murder. He just described
in vivid colors a pretty country cot
tage rung with honeysuckle, a young
wife preparing supper, and the rosy
youngsters waiting at the gate to
greet their father on his return home
for the evening meal Suddenly Nc
Sweeney stopped. He Drew himself
up to his full height. Then, striking
the table with his fist, he cried in a
voice that thrilled every bosom:
Gentlemen, you must send him
back home to them"
A red-faced juror choked and blurt'
ed out: "By George, sir, we'll do it."

R|DDING HOUSE OF ANTS CATTLE BL0AT TREATMENT
A COMMON PEST IN cUPBoADRS
IN SUMMER.
By C. E. Brashear, in the College
of Agriculture, University Of
Missouri.

There is a needless waste of time
and food on the farm every summer
due to the ravages made on the cup
board by ants. There are several
effective ways of'ridding the house of
ants. When the nest can be located,
quick work can be made of them.
Ants work somewhat like bees. They
live in colonies, and they go out
from the colonies in search Of food.
When they locate a supply of food,
and start working on it, there can
usually be found a long line Of ants
from the food to their nest. This
line may run down in the floor SC
the nest cannot be located.
A small amount of carbon bisulfide
exposed zeal the nest will form fumes
that are deadly to ants. The fumes
are heavier than air and tend, to 60
down. Carbon bisulide poured on
the ground above a den Of ants will
quickly destroy the colony. If the
ants are traced down into the floor,
It is we'll to pour some of the carbon
bisulfide there.

Mystery of Sleep.

Sleep, in which we spend about a
third of our lives, continues to be M
of the mysteries of biology, despite
the attempts of scientists to find a So
luton. DR.. Raphael Dubois of Mar
settles, after a prolonged series of ex-
periments on alternating animals, has
come to the conclusion that sleep is
due to a~ntitoxin or poisoning by GER
tain waste products, which accumu-
late in the brain, and are only got
rid of by sleep. DR.. Claparede of &C.
neVa thinks that sleep is an instinct
devised for the protection of the or
ganism. 1t was DR.. Ramon y Cajdl
who formulated the %neurotic theory
according to which the neutrones or
pyramidal cells in the gray matter of
the brain sink down and ease to ex-
cite each other during sleep.
But there are objections to these
theories, and all others that have been
advanced. 1t is a matter of absolute
knowledge that in sleep there is a
certain absence of blood in the
brain. Anything that lessons the sup
ply of blood to the brain is likely to
induce sleep. For this reason, keep
ing the head cool and the feet warm
is recommended as one of the best
means of ~overcrowding sleeplessness.
Absence of light, noise and strong
odors help to produce the loss Of con
seriousness, which is the chief charac-
teristic of true sleep.

CHANGED MIND ABOUT MULE
Firmness Vanished Soon After the
Animal Got Busy.

There is a lieutenant in an Ohio
regiment who believed that mules
were much maligned, and that If well
treated a mule would behave accord
ingly. In his own company was a
mule with a bad reputation, and the
lieutenant undertook to tame him.
Il will show you how this mule
should be treated" said the officer.
So he had the mule brought in front
of his tent, saddled him without re-
sistance or protest, and patted him
kindly on the neck.
He needs kind but firm treatment"
said the lieutenant.
Then he mounted the mule, which
walked six steps, danced three steps,
executed an original hop, step and
jump with each leg, and then projected
the lieutenant into the air and into a
thorny bush.
Catch the brute and kill him."
said the lieutenant, as the hospital
corps assisted him to his tent. The
men caught the mule, but did not kill
him. He was just as good as any other
mule.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with g bit OF
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional .partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is we'll to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

Faithful Lies Reward.

To have deepened life for ones own
self, to have pierced beneath trivial
ties and superfluities to the heart of
living, is reward enough for any man.
But to have shown in the simplest life
of faithful doing what the earth may
mean to the poorest child of the eter-
nal is to have gained the victor's
wreath. We may not treat as a failure
or calamity any life that has been
spent in such a way as, by its achieve

imagination of even one or two and
given them a glimpse of the eternal
verities and beauties that underiie our

Some of the indictments were

men who perjured themselves in Ii

"One man who was worth $4,000 in
money, notes and securities gave moth
ing to the assessor. Another man
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 gave in
$780,"
