In the office of great statesman at
Washington there entered large
man with large thirst and nervous
disposition:
Give me a drink" cried the large
person in husky tones as he clutched
the Intel of the doorway. Il famish. =
The great statesman drew out a
bottle on which was the label Car
mine Red Ink
Il am serious" said the large per-
son. II had a bad night and / must
have a drink or I'll fall in faint. y
Drink some of that" said the
great statesman.
Don't trifie with me; / am serious
l must have liquor"
That's the best in Washington
said the statesman, pointing to the
red ink.
The nervous person went muttering
down the corridor and the statesman
poured out little of the 'red ink
for himself. 1t was really very fine,
very old Kentucky whisky.
II keep it in a red ink bottle to
allay suspicion" he said, as he tossed
off a beaker full.

Water Eroyt OF Buenos Aires a
Place of Wonderful BuSt!e.
Huge Ocean Greyhounds Are Stretched
Out at Full Length, With no
Sheds Between, as Far as
the Eye Can See.

Buenos Aires.--Not even LOndon's
docks give such picture of the vivid
hustle and Whispering of the sea as
does the water front of Buenos Aires,
for here huge ocean greyhounds are
stretched out at full length, with
no sheds between, funnel behind
funnel as far as the eye can see. A
veritable street of nations is this water
front. Here Royal Mail packet from
England-one of those aristocrats of
the seas which swim up and down
across the tropics with music and folks
dressing for dinner-rubs shoulder
with river boat just come down the
Parana river from Paraguay with
cargo of oranges; there Spanish
liner from Barcelona, a Frenchman
from Marseilles, an Italian from
Genoa, a German from Bremen, loaded
down with champagne and aperltifs,
opera companies and automobiles, and
hundreds of hopeful immigrants from
all the countries of the old world;
ships flying the flags of every nation
of the world, and sailors joking in a
dozen tongues.
On every hand it seems to the visitor
that he has been swallowed by mod
ern Babylon. These docks and
wharves are the finest in the world
and connect with over 10000 miles of
railroads, reaching every part of the
republic.
Commercially and financially Buenos
Aires is the Argentine. 1t has 26 banks
which supply the republic with money,
big banks with splendid buildings.
Four of them have a capital stock of
$5,000,000, and the statistics of their
deposits, discounts, loans and clear
ings are amazing in their magnitude.
The Bank of Argentine Nation, which
operates 80 branches throughout the
country, shows net profit of $4,000
900 or 100000 a year.
AS social center Buenos Aires is
also the Argentine. Most Of the
money made in the Campo is spent
here. The city has scores of million
aires, nabobS who each own their half
million acres of land and who count
their cattle and sheep in hundreds of
thousands. They may go to their farms
in the summer, but their winters are
spent in their palaces in the city,
where they give royal entertainments
and pay thousand dollars for sea-

Wireless for Miners.

An invention has been brought to
light which will serve considerably to
minimize the dangers to which every
day the large number of underground
workers in the kingdom are exposed.
A clever German subject, Herr j. H.
Reinecke of Westphalia, has invented
a system of wireless telegraphy for
use in mines. The system has been
adopted at Dinnington main cOlliery
in Yorkshire, where instruments have
been fixed at two points and CONVEX
stations have been carried on with the
same ease as is the case with Ordi-
nary telephones. There is a portable
instrument adapted for use in the cage
while ascending and descending the
shaft, and so means Of communica-
ton with those above ground in time
of disaster has been established. By
this means rescue work will be consid-
erably facilitated, for entombed miners
will be in direct communication with
the pit head, thus being able to call
for assistance and give directions as
to their whereabouts and the best
means of reaching them.-London Tit

Scientific SWlndIer.

oh, yes-there are new ways OF
fooling us being devised every day.
And some of us are being just as east
ly fooled as were our ancestors, in
spite of all the knowledge we have
packed into our heads. Sometimes
we are shared by the scientific swim
dler. At other times we snare the
scientific swindler-Just to preserve
the balance of things. Only the other
day Samuel Spitz was telling persons
in Oakland, Cal, that he had invented
or discovered a machine whereby he
could throw on a glass disc at night
the image of anything out of doors
within a five-mile radius. He offered
"stock" in this wireless spectre
scope" concern at low figures. Some
boobs bought it, too. But iconoclastic
persons investigated. They found at
test" that a panorama film was
being hidden in the machine and
worked off on them. Now they pro-
pose to prosecute the inventor"
What does all this amount to? Well

attitude isn't wholly a nuisance, is he?

dominoes. And what fun they do get

DUTCH THE BEST BARRIERS
With Germans a Close Second, in
London Hairdressing Experts
Opinion.

London and Germans
are the best BARRIERS In the world.
They have the artistic touch-1ust
that lightness ann agility with the
razor and the scissors which make the
difference between haircut or shave
that is absolutely perfect and one thai
is mot quite.
This is the opinion OF London
hairdresser, who was asked by The
Mirror to account for the number of
Dutch and German BARRIERS in Lon
don. The reason might never have
been known if a Dutch barber, aged
twenty, had not sought to pass the
Alien immigration board with only
$3.50 in his pocket. He was going, he
said. to hairdresser at Lambeth, but
in case he could net get employment
he had taken the precaution of buying
a return ticket. Such foresight could

was admitted.

employment, said the hairdresser in
question, "and it would be very hard
to lind their superior. The true

and he will clip long-haired head
into as perfect contour as possible.
The only drawback to his work is
the fact that, like many artists, the
Dutchman is inclined to spend toe

Irish Superstition.

The mystery surrounding the find
ing of human skull in the garden
of a Donegal merchants. residence
has been lnraveled by Sergeant Null
herin Of the local constabulary.
A few years ago, the sergeant
states, a man was gathering bramble-
berries near Magherabeg, where still
remain the ancient and crumbline
walls of a religious monastery, when
he came upon the skull, to which were
attached a few teeth.
Believing ir the superstition that
there was a cure for toothache in a
tooth extracted from the skull of a
dead person, he carried it home, where
it remained until his son, through fear
or from some other cause, buried it.

E0tS Freely But

A Little Pepsin IA a Mid Ld*0-
fiUs Promptly Corrected
a Bad Indigestion.

Fortunate Is the one who can eat
anything" without suffering the tor
lures Of dyspepsia, but as few are SO
fortunate, care should be taken in the
matter of diet. Eating slowly, masti-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
a short walk after the heavy meal OF
the day will do much towards assisting
digestion. Any grown-up person ought
to know the peculiar foods that do not
agree, and these should be avoided.
When these common-sense aids fall,
the next thing to do is to take mild
digestive tonic with laxative proper
ties, and there is none better than Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t contains
the greatest Of all aids to digestion,
good pepsin. It has other ingredients
that act mildly on the bowels, which
together form combination for the
relief of dyspepsia or Indigestion that
:. Is unsurpassed.
It's action Is to tone and strengthen
the stomach and bowel muscles so

CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
In AGRICULTURE
The Latest Is Winning Cham
pionship for Oats a Third
Time.

Recently was published the fact OF
remarkable winnings by Canadian
farmers In several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
Is that of Messrs. J. G. Hill & Sons
of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, who
won in a hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana. At the
National Corn Exposition st Dallas
during February, Montana oats were
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner of this to be announced was a
peck of oats belonging to the Ca
madam growers above mentioned, and
alongside of these was like quantity
belonging to a Minnesota grower, who
was barred from the regular compe-
tition because he was at one time the
winner Of the trophy-the prize The
three entries were side by side on the
Judges bench. 1t would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were of equal
weight-50 pounds to the bushel. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous in favor Of the Saskatche-
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
one greatly to the credit Of the Ca
madam product was that the oats,
grown In 1913, were grown and shown
by those who had competed during
the past two years, winning on each
occasion. This, the third winning,
gave them for the third time the
worlds championship and full posses
sion of the splendid $1,000 silver
trophy contributed by the state or
Colorado.
The oats VIII III have thus given to
| Western Canada another splendid adj
vertising card, were grown 300 miles
north of the International boundary
line, proving that In this latitude, all
the smaller grsins can be grown with
greater perfection and with more
abundant yie.d than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
| az to 43 pounds to the bushel, and
with yields OF from so to 100 BUSH
4
els per acre. Wheat also does well,
grades high, and Yields from 80 to 40
bushels per acre. The same may be
said of any portion of Manitoba.

over the world not only as country
where championship grains are grown,

that also carry off championships and
where wild grasses are abundant
