Mof!EY VERY MUCH WASTED
Proprietor of Travelling Bag May Have
Meant Well, But He Didn't
Make Hit.

Oliver P. Newman, chairman of
the board of commissioners of Wash
ington, and Louis Brownlow, a
worldwide traveller, are boon COM
panions.
After the last presidential election
Newman, then political writer, was
ordered to accompany President-elect
Wilson to Bermuda. He promptly
wired Brownlow for the use of a
travelling bag which had been round
the world several times and was en-
tirely covered with foreign labels.
Possession of the bag, Newman felt,
would show him to be eligible for
membership in the Ground the
World club"
In due time a crate was carried
into Newman's apartment in New
York. With pleasant thought of the
impression the bag would make on
the presidential party, Newman un-
packed the crate. Before him was
bag as immaculate as his own new
suitcase Newman wired Brownlow ::
''Where the blazes are the foreign
labels?"
Brownlow's reply was:
"You are an migrate. spent two
dollars to have the labels washed Off"

TRAINED WITNESS.

This story is being told of a GER
tain Paducah barrister: The lawyer
in question was defending an old COL
Ored woman who was being arraigned
before one of the local magistrates
charged with the theft of a chicken.
He had called the accused to the
stand TO testify in her own behalf
and in order to help her out instruct

court whether or not you have, or
have had, in your possession a fowl,
or chicken, answering the descrip-
ton or appearance of the fowl you
stole. ."-Paducah (Ky.) News

Scared to Go Home.

a tango dancer Of a patron, as he was
leaving his temple Of tango about four
o'clock this morning. "Why, no:
what an idea." was the response.
well, I'm glad of It," said the tan
goist. "My wife took a shot at a milk
man the other morning, and I'm kind
OF skittish about going home at this
hour. Best little woman in the world

TO get even with Jimmy smiled at
Percy Wagner and he took me to hate
some lemonade that ought "a been
boiled. it was SO cold, and then he sat
me down in corner and talked to
me, and Jimmy could see us, and /
wouldn't "a moved II I'd frozen to the
spot. I most did, too, because there
was cold air radiator in. the floor
right there and know the other end
was connected with the north pole. I
had on my ruffled dimity and white
shoes and hosiery and my teeth were
chattering. Percy's nose looked frost
bitten and his knees knocked together.
When we tried to dance we sort Of fell
around like clothespins.
Then we sat in a circle and ate ice
cream and our throats froze up till we
ought a called a plumber and every
body said, Amt we having q fine
timer And Jimmy glowed till I was
afraid his face would crack with the
cold and everything. Then finally,
just as Percy and I were getting some
more lemonade, Jimmy grabbed me by
the arm.
"'Say.' he Kissed, I've had enough
OF that sissy fellow trailing after youn
Just as drew away, indignant like
for nobody can boss me even if II is
Jimmy-Percy sort Of fell against the
lemonade bowl and 1t tipped over and
soaked Jimmy and me. I'd hate to
think it Of Percy, but can't see how
he could have upset that bowl without
planning 1t.
well, Of course, Jimmy and had
to go homo then, and my! the Ian
| guage that man used was something
wonderful! I didn't see how there
could be any more language in the
world, but found there was, for when
we started to get off the street Ear
Jimmy found his duck trousers that
| had got soaked with lemonade were
frozen to the seat. The conductor
wouldn't hold the car while Jimmy
tore them loose He said there were
no rules n regulations requiring dpn-
ductor to delay service just because
a passenger got frozen to the seat!
'By the time we got home my dhni-
| ty dress skirt was 30 frozen with
lemonade that 1t ratified like tin, and
when hit the doorpost 1t cracked and
ruined itself. s'pose l must a got

HUNGARIAN MEAL IN DEMAND
Considered Among the Best in the
World 1t Is One of Country's Great
Sources of Wealth,

Flour milling is generally consid-
cred the most important industry in
Hungary. There ere $1,000 flour
mills in operation, about ninety per
cent of which are small mills that
supply only the demands of the To-
calities in which they are situated.
The remainder are steam mills
equipped with the most modern ma
chlnery and prepared to compete in
the worlds markets. Hungary grows
large quantities of wheat, and GER
tain grades of it are among the best
in the world. 1t sometimes happens
that so large percentage of Hun
garian wheat is bought by the Aus
trian mills through the cooperation
of the Austrian railways that the
Hungarian mills are forced to
port Russian wheat. HI
coal mines, operated by II
meRt, are uiSrSvaf tsll,sll4a- n
was\estimatei, based on past years,
that the net loss to the government
on all the coal mines it owns and op-
crates would be at least three hun
drcd thousand dollars for the present
year.

SOMETHING went WRONG:

ter as she paused in the act Of putting

"Gold?" echoed the girl at the small
hardware counter in a tone of infinite
scorn. Got a gold? What I've got
is as an iceberg to small icicle when
1t comes to COLDS! But l thought 1

"Howjuh do it," inquired the girl

"Of course, it was zero, but that's

everybody turned purple almost at
