TOM SOLVED PROBLEM
AND IN A WAY THAT MIGHT BE
EXPECTED or A MAN.
However, II Caused Mrs. carrlck to
See Things in a New Light, and
There Was an End Of
Worrying.

Everything in the Carricks' apart
ment was beautifully clean, for young
Mrs. Carrick was a careful housekeep-
er and she found her greatest pride
and pleasure in her sparkling glass.
spotless curtains and speckless floors
Tom Carrick submitted to his wife's
rules of order with smiling good ma
ture and when a pair of slippers on
the top Of his chiffonier or the scat
tered pages Of a newspaper on the
parlor floor proved him transgressor
he received her general rebukes with
a comical display of penitence that
quite disarmed her, according to the
Youths Companion.
1t was with genuine Joy that Mrs.
Carrick prepared room for her ia
Their when the breaking up of his old
home made II necessary for him to
come to live with her. She lay awake
at night planning little comforts for
him, but the labor she put into the ar
rangement of these conveniences was
as nothing compared with her efforts
to make him use and enjoy them.
Father, why don't you hang your
coat on one Of your hangers?" she
asked one day, when she found his
Sunday coat suspended by the collar
from a hook. II had these hangers
put in your closet so that you could
keep your clothes nice"
That was real thoughtful of you.
but you know. Maggie, l never was
nLch Of a hand for fussing about my
clothes" ..'
Don't you like that shaving stand,
father? notice ycs never use It,"
Yes. it's a real clever continuance,
but I've always been used to hooking
my little hand glass on the window
sill and hacking away" He laughed
as he displayed a small cut in his
cheek and then sighed. Your mother
said long ago that ought to go to a
barber to be shaved, but I'm no hand
for innovations, Maggie"
Matters became worse rather than
better, and 1t required all Mrs. Car
rick's loving patience not to be cross
when she found neckties and collars
scattered about the dressing case, in
stead Of being laid away in the holders
she had made for them or the shoe
backing brush on the top of the wash
stand, instead of in its proper place be-
meath. There came a time when she
felt she could no longer suffer her ia
| theirs untidiness In silence and she
went to her husband almost tearfully.
Il don't know what to say to ia
ther." she said. He keeps everything
in his room In a dreadful muss. but |
can stand that, for l go in often and
put things to right, but l don't know
what to do about the rug"
The rug?" repeated Carrick.
Yes, you know, Tom, he has an
ointment for the rheumatism in his
ankles and he rubs 1t on so carelessly
that that nice big rug In his room Is
getting simply covered with grease
spots. Just don't know what to dc
about It,"
We'll. Margaret, I'll tell you what
we'll do" Carrick assumed the air OF
conspirator and lowered his voice to
whisper. I'VE won't ever breathe
a word about 1t to him and we'll stand
the rug as long as we can and when
We can't endure the grease spots any
longer, we'll buy him a new rug"
Margaret's voice was a little un.
steady. "Tom." she said, you make
me ashamed"

BURLESON LIKES THE OPEN

The Mexican revolution spoiled for
Postmaster General Burleson the one
thing that above all others he was

from these trips a new man. The
wild camping life. the pure mountain
air, the solitude and freedom from

activity as his has BEEN the strain OF
constantly seeing people and talking
with them is very telling, and he
gained respite from all such tur-

Danger In Tall Corn.

There is great danger in permitting

POLAR BEAR OF. THE SENATE

The Polar Bear of the Senate" is
the title which Uncle Knute" Nelson,

DUCHESS OF FIFE TO WE'D

Diplomatic and social circles in
London are discussing with avidity
the official announcement Of the be-

naught, son of the Duke of Con-
naught, brother of the late King Ed

CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE A PEDESTRIAN

About the hour when General
Miles is riding his hardest, If you
happen to be strolling along Pennsyl-
vania avenue. in Washington. you
will see heavy-set, square-jawed,
English-looking man swinging up the
street with his coat thrown wide open

steps out solidly with the tread of
man who is walking for the exercise.
Following him, you will find that he
keeps up the pace, without tagging,
over the two miles or more to his
home.
This earnest pedestrian is Chief
Justice White of the Supreme court
Of the United States. a veteran

Near the Osterasen sanatorium a
boy put up a bird house last spring,
and in due time couple of birds built
a nest and began to rear family In
IT, One day small hawk arrived
when the parents. happened to be
away, and he just managed to squeeze
himself into the house. When the
parents returned they began to show
fight AT first he did not mind 1t. But
the parents called on their comrades,
and a pitched battle ensued. They
pecked and pecked at the hawk, and
he proved too slow for them, so he
decided to stay in the house and de-
fend himself as best he could; But
this was his fatal mistake. The swarm
of birds simply overwhelmed him, and
he actually gave up the fight. Now
the birds hit upon a new plan. They
began to close up the doorway with
mud, and the end of the hawk was
near. But man who was watching
this strange warfare knew that the
hawk had commercial value II

prisoned bird and sent him to the

SCANDINAVIAN NEWS
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT HAP
PENlNGs IN FAR OFF
NORTHWEST.
ITEMS FROM THE OLD HOME
Resume Of the Most Important Events
In Sweden, Norway and Denmark
OF Interest to the scandinavlans
In America.

The statistical bureaus of the Scan
dinavian countries have compiled the
following statistics showing the main
features of the changes OF the popu-
lation. The total increase of the
population of Sweden during the year
1912 was 42,400. At the same time
$4,000 persons emigrated, making the
natural increase a little over 10000.
The population of Sweden was 1904
600 at the end of the year 1912. In
Norway the increase for the same year
was $4,000, that is, from 2,412,000 to
2,436,0O0. A little over 5000 persons
emigrated. making the natural in
crease $4,000 In Denmark the num-
Der OF births was 74,65S, the number
of deaths 36.423, and over 5000 per-
sons emigrated. Leaving the immi-
grafton out of the count, the increase
OF the population of Denmark was 3d.
900 In 1912, and the present population
may be put at 2.S26.000. The percen-
tage of increase was largest in Nor
way and smallest in Sweden. The
three leading Scandinavian peoples
now have a combined population of
about 100000. 1t is worthy Of spe-
cial note that the loss by emigration
Is on the decrease. During the past
three years the number Of Danish emf
grants has dropped from 10000 to
5000. In Norway the decrease Is still
more striking. Norway lost 10000
persons by emigration In 1910, 1880
in 1911 and only 5000 in 1912. This
remarkable change is due to the rapid
development of the Industries of Nor
way. Sweden lost $4,000 persons by
emigration in 1910, 10000 in 1911, and
$4,000 in 1912.
Duties are to be refunded by the
United States treasury to importers
of wood pulp from Germany, Sweden.
Norway, and ether countries of north
ern Europe under claims of free entry.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo de-
cided to acquiesce in the decision of
the court of customs appeals in the
most favored nation clause" cases
affecting all importations of wood
pulp and print paper The issue was
around the only provision of the Ca
madam railroad property pact that be-
came law Under it wood pulp and
print paper imported from Canada
was granted free entry. Norway,
Germany, Sweden and other countries
having railroad treaties with the Uni
ted States containing favored nation
clauses claimed equal privilege of free
entry under these clauses. The court
of customs appeals sustained their
contention.
