 Mrs. Freddy Van Dyne started the trouble by having the team over to dinner, Pug" Coulan and all. After all. why not? No foreign and impe- cunious princes penetrate as far inland as our town. They get only as far as New York. or Newport. where they are gobbled up by many-moneyed matrons. If Mrs Freddy Van Dyne found the supply of available lions limited, why should she not try to content herself with a iackal or so?
 Ivy was asked. Until then she had contented herself with gazing at her hero She had become such a hard ened baseball fan that she followed the game with a score card, accurately jot- ting down every play, and keeping her watch open on her knee

 The first night that Rudie called. Pa Keller thought it a great joke. He sat out on the porch with Rudie and Ivy and talked baseball. and got up to show Rudie how he could have got the goat of that Keokuk catcher if only he had tried one of his famous open faced throws. Rudie looked politely interested. and laughed in all the right places. But Ivy didn't need to pre- tend Rudie Schlachweiler spelled baseball to her. She did not think of her caller as good-looking young man in blue serge suit and a white shirt waist Even as he sat there she saw him as blond god standing on the pitchers mound, with the scars of bat tie on his baseball pants. his left foot placed in front of him at right angles with his right foot his gaze fixed on

OLD SOLDIER WISHES TO HELP SUFFERERS FROM KID- NEY, LIVER AND BLADDER
 TROUBLES.

I am frequently troubled with kidney and bladder trouble, especially in the Spring and Fall. Being an old Veteran of the Civil War, a little exposure or cold settles on my kidneys, and then I am laid up with kidney or bladder trouble. Dr. kilmer's Swamp-Root Wa. recommended to me q number of years ago, and took number of bottles of it and was more than pleased with the re- suits. I consider Swamp-Root the great. est and best kidney medicine on the market and it never fails to give quick results in kidney trouble, bladder trouble and lame back.
 Dr. Kiimer's Swamp-Root has done me SO much good that I feel if any words of mine will be the means of relieving any poor sufferers. that you are at liberty to use this letter as you see fit.
 Yours very truly.

New York, Jan. 5.-Great Britain
has begun operations to secure its third
and last territorial prize of the war.
A small body Of Indian troops, off.
cered by Englshmen, recently seized
the southern part of Nebuchadnezzer q
ancient Babylonian empire, adding to
Britain's possessions the valuable
Turkish Hinterland" of the Persian
gulf.
Soon afterward Turkish suzerainty
of Egypt was dissolved and Cleopatra 4
Kingdom was formally annexed by the
British.
Monday an English squadron BON.
barded Dar'es-salaam, the port of Ger

hold for the acquisition of the most

Whatever else the war may give tc
Great Britain in the way of new colon
ial possessions will be subordinate il
value to these three conquests.
There is scarcely any other land OF
the globe which the British covct

rica round off the empire.
The report of the bombardment OF
Dar.es'Salaam does not state whether
or not this commercial and politica
capital, created by German ambitions
has follen. Probably it is still holdinl
out; otherwise the British announce
ment would have been more explicit.
Presumably the city refused to sur
render, whereupon King Georges war
ships began shelling it.
Naval operations may be progress

Great Britain has long desired Ger
