Kansas Town &c Hold Election in
Which All Males VIII Land
Something.

Kansas City, Mo.-The glory of
Nickletown, Kan, is now like the
glory that was Rome's-gone. Time
was when Nickletown aspired to be
the county seat OF Woodson county
and to be rated among the flourishing
county towns of Kansas. But those
aspirations. along with nearly all of
Nickletown's population have de-
parted.
Nickletown, however, refuses to re-
linquish Its identity as a real town. 1t
is going to hold a town election next
spring and select regula- officers.
There is one cheerful feature In 1t
for the male residents Of Nickletown
all Of them will get Offices.
There are now only four families
left in the town. T. @. Allen, Frank
Willis. George Cowles and Oscar Null
SOW are the men now remaining.
Cowles is at present police judge. He
says that office suits him and he wants
to keep 1t. The other three have
agreed to let him have his little within
gratified. So the trio all plan to run
for mayor and the two losers will con-
stitute the town council It's up to
the women to cast the deciding vote.
as all three men say they will vote
for themselves. 1t is considered like
ly that the man who treats his wife
best in the time between now and
election will stand the rosiest chance
Of getting to sign Mayor" after his
name.
Nickletown is in the northeast part
OF Woodlawn county.

WARNING NATIONS
REPLY TO WILSON
Little Satisfaction Found In Diplo-
matte Notes-Both Protests
Rejected.

Berlin, Germany (via London), Feb.
20-The reply OF Germany TO the pro-
test OF the United States against a
blockade OF British waters Is couched
In the most friendly terms, but firmly
maintains the position Of Germany
as already announced.
The note explains that Germany's
proposed action Is rendered necessary
by Great Britains policy OF attempt
ing to cut of the food supply for the
German civil population by method
never recognized In International law.
England's course in ordering mer-
chantmen to fly neutral flags and
equipping them with artillery. with or.
ders to destroy submarines, the Ger
man reply contends, renders nugatory
the right OF search.
Germany holds that she cannot
abandon that right under the stress
which England has put upon her
Since Germany must compel the
nations with which she Is at war to
return to the recognized principles OF
international law and restore the free
dom OF the seas she argues that the
stand she has taken Is necessary.
The note recommends that the
United States government send war
ships TO England to convoy merchant
vessels through the danger zone. with
the understanding that vessels thus
guarded shall carry no war supplies
Hope Is expressed that the Ameri-
can government will understand the
position in which Germany has been
placed and appreciate the reasons for
Its course.

emphasis that trdfflc In arms. esti-

For some time the six-year-old boy
of a Philadelphia man, the third In

AeropIanes Of Russian Make.

Sukhomlinoff saw that a weak point
In the Russian army was that too
much of its equipment came from
abroad-a vulnerable situation In war
time, as the present shows So he
set himself busily building up arms
factories, cartridge factories, and so
on within the boundaries Of Russia,
and at the same time established a
central laboratory where new mechan.
isms. explosives, inventions might be
tried out.
He also organized-and this gives us
the measure Of his foresight-a first
class school Of military aviation, and
set the best Russian mechanics at the
development apd manufacture of aero
planes, which today take the place OF
cavalry as "the eyes Of the army" The
result is that for the last four or five
years Russia has been making her own
aeroplanes and training large stan
of officers able to use them. Sukhom-
linoff also developed an effective corps
of army automobiles, for the rapid
transport Of men and supplies.-Amer-

III Wanderer From Bohemia Rewards
Benefactresses in Chicago
Promise to Remember Them
In Will Was Laughed At.

Chicago-Four years ago a young
man, Ill and hungry, applied at the
rear door Of house in South Marsh
field avenue for food. The maid called
her mistress and the latter went to the
door.
Come in" she said. "You are cold
Warm yourself at the fire.
The young man was touched by the
woman's kindness and nearly broke
into tears
You are a Jew. are you not?" said
the woman. Don't be afraid to talk.
You are under the roof Of a Jewish
family"
The young man recovered himself.
He told a story Of coming to America
from Prague, Bohemia, and Of finding
himself homeless and penniless. He
was too proud to let his people know
his condition.
An hour before he appeared at the
house in Marshfeld avenue he was
discharged from the county hospital.
He had fallen In the street from ep-
ilepsy, and the hospital kept him
three days.
The woman, greatly moved by his
story, gave him a warm meal and let
him sleep that night In the basement.
An old suit Of clothes belonging to
her husband was given him and he
was sent to a boarding house by his
benefactress and her sister.
His health became so bad that 1t
was found necessary to deport him.
He returned to Bohemia In September,
1911.
The woman who was kind to the
Jewish boy received word from a
firm Of lawyers that by his death she
was left $4,000. The same amount
was bequeathed her sister.

Another Edison Marvel.

When the telephone was nothing
more than an experimental toy in 1870
Mr.. Edison predicted that this form Of
communication would not be perfect
until combined with the monograph
so that telephone messages would be
recorded automatically. And now, for
ty.fve years later, when fifteen mil
lions of conversations are carried an
nually over the telephone wires. Mr.
Edison Is ready to exhibit at the Pan
ama-Pacif1c fair for the first time the
telescribe. a combination Of the tele-
phone and dictaphone, which will put
upon a cylinder for reproduction every
syllable uttered into the transmitter.
A little thought will enable any one
to realize what a revolution will be
wrought in commercial and legal at
fairs when a telephone conversation
can be proved beyond dispute as read
lily as a written document.

TOBACCO IN DEMAND
Cigars and Cigarettes Highly
Priced at the Front.
German Soldier Exchanges so Cigar
cites for Whole Steer-Throw Dice
to Decide Puffs of Cigar for
Each Soldier.

Berlin.-Cigars and cigarettes are
the most highly valued articles at the
front In an interesting letter, just
received here, a German soldier tells
OF a trade where he exchanged so
cigarettes for a whole steer. He
writes:
Most of our boys at the front are
inveterate smokers. They know the
value of a good weed. Sometimes a
good smoke will make you forget that
your stomach is empty.
For the last two days | have been
subssting on bread and cigars. Our
field butcher-the goulash gun, as We
call it-cannot come up to the battle
line, and 80 We must live on what
we carry in our knapsacks. A heavy
black cigar will tide you over for
day when there is nothing else to
chew.
"A few days ago we were all long
ing for some fresh meat. There was
none for miles around. Suddenly a
Bavarian detachment came along, with
a whole drove of cattle. First they
refused to let us have any, but after
some bargaining they traded a fat
steer for so cigarettes.
Every soldier in our army is sup
piled with two cigars every day at
receives tobacco from home. But some
Of the cigars we receive are terrible
They were 80 bad we could not smoke
them SO we threw them over to the
French, who eagerly gathered them in
They were so delighted that they gave
us some cognac in exchange. This was
before they commenced to smoke the
cigars After they had lighted them
they got highly indignant and COM
menced to fire at us like mad
There were days when we mad moth
ing to smoke but dried tea leaves and
straw. Then again we have tobacco.
but nothing to light our pipes with.
We are not permitted to have fire in
the trenches, for the smoke would
draw the enemy's fire. Matches are
very scarce and our electric flashlights
give light, but no fire. So one of my
comrades has overcome this difficulty
by using strong magnifying glass
which he found in the pocket Of a
French officer killed in battle. This
works all right when the sun Is
shining.
AT times cigars were so scarce we
had to throw dice in order to decide
to how many puffs each one Of US
was entitled. I was unfortunate enough
to get only three puffs."

HAD TO BE TAUGHT FRENCH
English Horses, In Service OF Gallo
Owners, Unable 10 Understand
Words Of Command.

A French writer tells quaint story
of the war. He says that the English
cavalry in France found themselves In
possession of a number Of horses
which were not found suitable for
cavalry work. BY arrangements with
the French government they sold them
off to French peasants for agricultural
work. The farmers were delighted;
though the horses were not adapted
for cavalry work, they were better
than they had been accustomed to
have for farm work But when they
came to work them a difficulty arose.
The horses did not understand French.
When addressed with Hue" or a
Dial" (Which Is idiomatic French
for Gee up" and Way, whoa!o
they did not bulge. No doubt carriers
in France, as in England, have :. whole
vocabulary of horse talk. Apart from
the starting and stopping, there are
special cries which tell the horse to
turn to the right or left or to take
up a particular posture when 1t Is
being groomed.
Even in England these carriers ana
grooms' words differ in different coun-
ties, but probably that would be no
difficulty in the way of transferring a
horse, say, from the north Of Eng
land to the south. For, as the expert
mental psychologists tell us, animals
do not really understand articulation;
what they do understand is the tone
In which words are spoken. This has
been said even Of dogs, which are
much more intelligent than horses
and much more attentive to the
speech of man. Dog lovers, however,
deny this, and say that dogs under
stand the spoken word in whatever
tone 1t is uttered or however quietly.
However that may be, 1t would not
help the English horses in France,
since the French tones expressing
the various moods of entreaty or COM
mand differ even more from the Eng
fish than does the pronunciation OF
the words. The horse Is not the only
animal to which French would be a
foreign tongue. In France you call
cat not by Kissing sound, "Tsh, tsh,"
or "Psh, psh," as we do, but by some
thing between kiss and whistle.
Hence In France the vocative Of cat"
is not "Puss" but Mimi"

INITIATION FEE IS ONE HOG
Knights Of Pythias Lodge Now Has
New Member and Fine
Porker.

Albany, Ore.-A pig was the unique
initiation fee which Walter Miller, Jr..
paid to join the knights OF Phythias
lodge. So, as the result Of an offer
and an acceptance in joking spirit,
the lodge now has good hog which
is worth more than the customary
initiation fee.
Miller had expressed a desire to
join the lodge and was signing an ap-
plication for membership when he
asked the amount of the initiation
fee.
i've got lot of good hogs and Will
trade you one of them for my initia-
ton fee" he remarked jokingly, and
members of the lodge promptly &C
cepted the offer. He volunteered later
to keep the hog and feed 1t free or
charge until the lodge desired to sell
IT, and this Re Is doing.

palate ian essential in food for the

For fever patients or those on liquid
diet l find Grape-Nuts and albumen

This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows Soak teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts In glass Of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white OF an egg and spoonful
Of fruit Juice for flavouring. This af-

The Dutch at Whitby.

Whitby's last experience Of naval
warfare was rather curious. In June.
1886, two Dutch warships chased "a
pickroon belonging to the king Of
Spain" into the harbor, and though In
neutral water England being at peace
with both combatants, lowered their
boats to board the Spanish vessel.
The governor Of the town. Sir Hugh
Cholmley, protested. but the Dutch
carried out their design and captured
the enemy's ship. Thus set at def
ance, Sir Hugh called up the trained
bands, took boats, recaptured the
Spanish ship and took prisoner one
of the Dutch captains.
Whitby's chief fame is that from
its abbey emerged the first English
singer, Caedmon. He was remarkable
among his fellows for his ignorance
of such simple skill in the art Of song
as belonged to the monks Of those
days.-Pall Mall Gazette.
