by the state to appTehend Meyer and

ment as to where Franz Meyer may De

I duced the girl 10 come TO Des Nome:
with her sister, Eru7a Huppertz, K

A gentleman, rushing from his

gustedly, demanded of Jeames, the
footman, whence arose the outrag-
eous odor that was pervading the
whole house. To which Jeames re-
piled:

AN EYE FOR AN EYE

Gentlemen, l can't lie about the
horse; he is blind in one eye," said
the auctioneer.
The horse was soon knocked down
to citizen, who had been greatly
struck by the auctioneer's honesty,
and after paying for the horse he
said:
You were honest enough to tell
me that this animal was blind in one
eye. Is there any other defect?"
Yes, sir, there is. He is also blind
in the other eye," was the prompt
reply.

Crowninshield in New England sea-
port town adjoins the pasture of
sturdy farmer, relates the New York
Press. A valuable dog owned by the
colonel used to get into the pasture
and chase the farmers COWS. Finally,
he went to Col. Crowninshield and
requested that the annoyance be
stopped.
How do you k how it is my dog?"
asked Col. Crowninshield, rather I'M
satisfactorily.
How do 1 know" exclaimed the
farmer, with rising Indignation.
why, I've seen him time and again.
you must bring me better proof"
replied the colonel coldly.
"All right, sir" said the farmer in
no uncertain tone. "The next time
the dog bothers my cows I'll bring
you all the proof you want-in

j four miles in answer to a telephone

j summoned him said:
! Doctor, I'm not in any particular
i pain, but somehow or other I've got

The doctor felt the mans pulse
and listened to his heart.
''Have you made your will?" he
asked finally. The man turned pale.

man you made an idiot of on a night

Continue Obstructive Tactics

The allies are continuing their obs structive tactics in the face of superior strength and are refusing to bring on an engagement in which they might be overwhelmed, until they have the protection of the forts surrounding Paris.
 The fighting'is, of course, desperate, but. despite the fact that reports speak of "the greatest battle in the history of the world" the full magnitude of the struggling armies has not as yet been brought simultaneously into play.
 As the Germans are drawn further and further into France they are leav- ing themselves more and more open on the Hanks, and if the report re- garding the landing of S0,000 Russian troops at Ostend is to be believed, and it is confirmed from sources which lead to little doubt of its verity, the kaiser's soldiers may well ind tnem- selves in difficulties ere many days.
 The Germans have concentrated every effort to break through the French defenses and have withdrawn troops both from Alsace-Lorraine and Belgium to reinforce their struggling columns in France. Persisting in ad- vancing in mass formation as they do the toll which the allies reap for every step forward must be fearful.
 It is not impossible that when the supreme moment comes the Germans may find themselves so weakened by their losses and so wearied by their superhuman endeavors as to be unable to resist the combined attack of the English and French in the front and the Russians in the rear.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 It is interesting to learn that the depart ment of agriculture in the midst of wild and rather ineffective efforts to relieve the high price of beef by boycotts. is de. voting it's efforts to increase the supply of beef by experiments In raising beef cat. tie in the south.
 The present proposition is to organize 500-acre live stock farm lying in the border between the cotton and corn fields in Louisiana. The land was originally prarie, and grass grows on it luxuriantly. The state is now using it for convict camp, but will donate the use of the land. As land so far south isl subject to the fever tick. an attempt is to be made to exterminate insect life unfavorable to cat tie.
 Until that Is done Honduras cattle viii be used. which are inlmur0 to the tick. When the tick is completely eliminated. western beef cattle will be introduced. The tick is a serious difficulty, and if over come competing system of slaughtering and sale must be encouraged to put the business on the proper basis.

Reckless Automobile Drivers

The accidents-many of them fatal resulting from reckless automobile driving are not peculiar to any one section of the country, for complaints are loud in the north, south, east and west. In we'll governed cities there are fewer violations of the speed laws than was the case a few years ago, but on the country roads a great deal of recklessness is still in evidence.
 The Southern Railway company, whose publicity bureau is doing excel lent educational work, issues circu- lar, dated Greensboro, N. C., in which a timely warning is given in the form of statement of one of the locomo- tive engineers Many automobile driv- CTS are daily flirting with death" by failing to observe the highway regu- lation, stop, look, listen!' when ap- preaching railway crossings" says the engineer. He makes plea that auto mobilists using the public roads take some consideration of the feelings of engineers as well as be more careful of their own safety'
 The engineer then goes on to relate one of Shis recent experiences. A few days ago he missed striking an auto mobile by about two seconds at a crossing four miles from Raleigh. Grown persons and children were in the auto car and it was almost a miracle that one or more of the party escaped death.
 If the train had struck the auto mobile and killed or injured any of the occupants the engineer would have been accused of not blowing his whistle loud enough, when as matter of fact he had just sounded his whistle for a station in sight and had blown a crossing signal besides. Also, his bell was ringing, but the automobile driver failed to hear anything, so reckless was his speed. A collision was averted by the driver suddenly cutting his car to the right. The locomotive passed within ten or twleve feet of the auto mobile.
 Such occurrences are entirely too frequent. Accidents will happen even with careful chauffeurs, but there is certainly no excuse for any automo- bilist failing to heed the reasonable rule when nearing crossing" Stop, look, listen!"

Another Victim of the North

A dispatch from St. Petersburg states that the survivors of the arctic expedition headed by Lieutenant Sedoff, which set out in search of the north pole in 1912, have arrived at ArchangeI. The leader of the expedi- tion lost his life in trying to make final dash for the pole. He set out from Franz Josef Land, accompanied by two sailors, but fell i'll on the way and died, thus adding the name of an- other brave explorer to the long list of victims in the frozen fields of the north. The Russian government sent an expedition to the relief of the Sedoff party in the early part of this year and it is thought this expedi- tion rescued the survivors.
 According to the plans of Lieuten- ant Sedoff, his expedition was to be divided into two parts on reaching Franz Josef Land The lieutenant and two companions were to make final dash for the pole, while the others stayed behind in winter quarters and carried on scientific work, providing also base of supplies. It is stated that Lieutenant Sedoff planned to use polar bears to draw his sledges.
 After all it seems foolhardy for men to risk their lives in exploring the far north. Before the north pole was discovered it offered a splendid Sporting chance" to an explorer who coveted fame, but now that this deso- late part of the earth's surface has been reached, the world is hardly any better off than it was before The sum of scientific knowledge has doubt less been increased and to scientists the polar extremities of the earth will always be extremely interesting, but humanity in general is little profited by the gallant attempts made to learn something about these inaccessible regions. They must ever remain deso- late and forbidding, vast wildernesses unfit for habitation and hardly worth the cost of single human life for feited in exploring bleak wilds.

ually working to more active demand and to higher level of prices. In the first place. America soon must have manufactured iron in much larger vol ume. We have long been getting along on hardly a wear and tear basis. In the second place, it is evident that, talk ing the world as whole, there must be an enormous deficiency in the output of iron and steel Belgium is not pro ducing a ton.

COST OF SIMPLE LIVING

Ohio State Journal
 If the culinary department of a house. hold was carefully and thoughtfully su- pervised. pains taken to exclude excess and waste, and care exercised to admins ter economically to the bodily needs, there would not be so much reason to complain of the high cost of living Most families could live happily and healthily upon half in cost of what they now think is absolutely demanded. It only requires little judgment to accomplish this. But so many people look upon health as they do upon education, that it depends upon putting things into the body. Getting more food, in fact. than one can easily digest is dreadful handicap.
 The best housekeeper knows how to ar range her affairs so that she will get more joy out of the little than out of the much. Simplicity is great appetizer. The other day, on a buffet car, we saw the waiter bring to a passenger, and put on an improvised table before him, a plate of toast, dish of sliced tomatoes We immediately wanted one just like it. But the waiter soon returned and added bacon and eggs and dish of potatoes. That was too much. Our appetite vas shocked.

HARD HITN BY WAR
n the Detroit Free Press,

From the Detroit Free Press.
 Holland and Norway are hard hit by the war of the great powers. Holland is maintaining the strictest neutrality and has strong hopes of being able to keep out of the actual conflict. But in the fields thousands of tons of vegetables are rotting because markets are lost The produce of Holland was sold largely to England and Germany. Now the surplus after home consumption is supplied is worthless. Much the same condition ex- ists in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
 Norway's army Is mobilized at roints most exposed to possible invasion by the beligerent nations. King Haakon has decreed that prices of food be fixed by the public authorities Breweries are shutting down and turning over their grain supplies to be made into flour.
 In Holland over 1S0,000 workers are made idle by the war. Norway and Swe- den and Denmark must have more than 250,000 workers in idleness. Those who have savings areneompelled to see them rapidly melting daily with prospects col.- stantly darkenng as 1t becomes more and more evident that the war will be long.
