GOES THROUGH THE MOTIONS
But Smokers Win Wonder How That
TcbaccoIess Pipe Must Taste
70 Him.

NJ. Maeterlinck is among those who
have freed themselves from the band
age OF tobacco by means Of a curious
article. According to his biographer.
NJ. Gerard Harry, without the help
of tobacco he seemed incapable OF re-
ceiving inspiration or crystallizing It
in words. II he has not overcome the
need, he has outnanked it. Smoking.
he noticed, had lost its virtue as
stfmulant, and instead OF rousing the
brain 10 activity. as at first. had come
to disturb its functions; so now. In
lieu of ordinary tobacco. he fills his
bowl with a denicotinized preparation.
tasteless indeed. but harmless. His
pipe is still always alight when the
pen is busy. but it is hardly more now
than a mere subterfuge intended to
cheat and so satisfy an irresistible
mechanical craving London ChroR-

Mammoth cave In Idaho.

About twenty-eight miles from
Boise City, Idaho. there has been dis
covered what is believed to be the
largest cave in that part of the North
west, and the largest in Idaho. II
measures nearly half mile in length,
that is from its mouth to the lake. OF
course it may be that long again. but
owing to the lake it is impossible to
get the exact length without boat
The government is unaware OF its ex-
istence, as it is located on unsurveyed
land and in an exceedingly desolate
region Should the government be-
come aware Of it's whereabouts II

A Telephone Quirk.

Did you ever notice that if you place
the transmitter of the telephone
against your chest, instead of before
your mouth, it makes no apparent diff
ference to your auditor? If you are
talking over a desk instrument, it is
often easier to hold it against the
chest than to the mouth. Simply hold
the transmitter to your chest and
talk into the open air The entire
chest wall vibrates in unison with the
voice and will transmit the sound VI
brations over the telephone as well as
your voice.-The American Boy.

REWARD OF DISHONESTY

"Once upon time began
the teacher, two little broth
ers started to Sunday school
one Sunday morning. Their
way led past a fine orchard
where the trees were bending
down with ripe, luscious apples.
One of the brothers proposed
going into the orchard and get
ting some fruit. but the other
refused and sped away, leaving
his companion greedily devour-
ing the apples.
Now, it happened that the
owner of the orchard saw them,
and the next day rewarded the
good boy who refused TO steal
his apples by giving him shil-
ling. He got prize for his hon.
esty, and what do you suppose
the other boy got for his dis
honestly"
He got the apples" yelled
every member of the class
