FOOLED THE COLLECTOR.
Clever Way In Which Costly Turne,
 DraWinc Was "Restored."

There was a wealthy art con- noisseur and collector in London who had room full of beautiful Turner drawings that had been stored away for long time, and drawings and glasses had become laden with dust. The collector was going out of town and instructed a firm well known as honorable pie ture dealers to clean and overhaul the precious works of art.
 Before the collector left town the senior member of the picture firm went to his house and brought away the treasured drawings and, carrying them into the room be- hind the shop, took the first draw ing out of its frame and mount pre- paratory to dusting it and laid it on the table. Being suddenly called into the shop by customer, he GOV cred it with sheet of Whatman pa- per and left it. His brother entered from the street and passed into the private room. A moment later the other followed and found him, knife in hand, cutting a mount on the top of the Turner. With a cry he rushed to the paper and lifted it. and there the mortified brothers found the 5000 guinea drawing cut into two pieces.
 What was to be done? To make clean breast of it was apparently out of the question, so it was deter mined to call in the clever artist and repairer for the firm, and he joined the pieces and remounted the drawing, and down where the vertical cut was he boldly painted in tree!
 The picture was in due course taken back and rehung in time for the owners return. A couple of days later came an urgent letter calling the dealer to the house. Look at this drawing," said the collector. What does it meant There's a tree here. I never saw that tree before" ''No more did l." quietly replied the dealer. q told you that you would hardly recog- nize the drawings when the glasses had been cleaned inside and out. Why, you could hardly see them!"
 The owner, though still astonish- ed, accepted the explanation and probably never guessed the truth. The dealer told the story himself shortly before his death.

MEETS WITH ACCIDENT
 AND DIES ON TRAIL

Tom Jurack, prospector we'll known in interior camps, was found frozen to death on the trail twelve or fifteen miles from Bettles about ten days ago.
 Mir .Juraek had been working fol A. J. Campbell, driving wood team Tt Panama. He started out light tc go to the Koyukuk At the first camping place outside of Panama he cut his foot with an axe ,and mush. CTS who met him advised his to turn back; but he said the cut was not serious and he could make it all right The weather was very soft. and it is believed the sloppy trail caused blood poisoning to develop in his foot, SC that he was unable c help himself when the weather turned cold.

Breakfast Table Revelations.

To girls about to marry one would tender the advice that they study their intended victim at breakfast. If he is one feeding like forty, reject him as the direct descendant of Circe's herd of swine. If he is melancholy, beware of the abrupt curves of his tempera- ment. If he is boisterous and face
 tious, remember that an empty drum gives the greatest reverberation and a chatterbox at a. n. is as tiresome as chanticleer at 3 in the morning. By their breakfasts. my sisters. ye shall know them. London Saturday Review

New York is forty-one miles nearer Manila by Panama than by Suez, and 3,932 miles nearer Sydney. The cana makes the distance between New York and Yokohama 1880 miles short CT than the distance between Liver pool and Yokohama. New York i. nearer than Liverpool to Sydney by 2,424 miles.
 Maximum Saving Accomplished
 From Colon, on the Atlantic side of the canal, to Balboa, on the Pacir ic side, the distance by water around South America is 10,500 miles through the canal it is reduced to forty-four miles. The difference ill length of these routes, 10,456 miles represents the maximum distance that can be saved to vessels by use of the canal.
 This maximum. however, it is pointed out, is more interesting geo graphicly than commercially, because vessels bound for the Pacific Coast by way of the straits of Magellan would not skirt the entire Atlantic Coast of South America, but would strike across the Caribbean, if from the United States, or across the Cen tral Atlantic, if from Europe; and nrocede by the most direct route con- sistent with commercial advantage.
 What counts in the commercial val ue of the canal, say government experts, is not the distance that could be savel, but the distances that real ly are saved, by vessels substituting the canal route for the earlier route around the continent in regular trade

GERMAN THRIFT NOTICEABLE

tyograd-Evidences of German thrift witnessed by Russian soldiers during their invasion of East Prussia proved source of great wonder to them. Accounting their experiences wounded soldiers in the American hospital exclaimed over the clean homes, earpeted floors and various comforts which the Russians gener- ally lacked. "And pianos,'' ejaculat- ed one. "We found pianos in some of those housesl''

ENORMOUS SAVING IN DISTANCE
 BY USING CANAL

The government has been making some comparisons to show the mileage and the time saved by the use of tho Panama Canal, more especially the savings to the cities of the Pacific Coast in their dealings with the At lantic Coast cities of the country and with Europe and certain parts of South America. The figures are both interesting and instructive.
 The greatest users of the canal are American coastwis- vessels, each of which it is pointed out, saves a bout 7,s00 miles per trip. Assuming their average speed to be ten knots, they will save more than month at sea on each voyage from coast to coast. It formerly requirel fifty five days for the trip, which is now made in twenty-two days
 The next heaviest traffic of the canal is that between the American Pacific Coast and Europe. The canal brings San Francisco 5.666 miles near CT Liverpool than formerly, sav- ing of two-fifths the old distance by way of Magellan. Gibraltar is now 1891 miles from San Francisco, where in the old days the distance was 12,- 571 miles,
 Distance Materially Shortened
 The distance between San Francisco and New York by water has been shortened by 1873 miles. It used to be 13,135 miles by way of Magellan and by the canal it is 5,262.
 The distance from Sen Francisco to Freetown, on the west coast of mid dle Africa, was 1l,3so miles; by way of the canal it is 7,277 miles.
 There has been an important short ening of distances between the Atlan- rie Coast of the United States and the West Coast of South America New York is nearer Valparaiso by 3.717 miles, owing to the canal; to Iquipue, one of the important nitrate ports, by i, 139 miles, and to Guayaquil, by ,405 miles. From New York to Guayaquil the present distance of g. 765 miles is approximately 27 per cent of the former distance. 10,27o miles.
 From San Francisco to Buonos Aires by way of Valparaiso and Magellan, the distance is approximately 7,610 miles, which is shorter than the route through the canal, by which the dis tance is S,941.
 To Rio Janeiro by the canal the distance is 1885, and by Magellan s. 609 miles; to Pernambuco, on the eastern point of South America, the distance from San Francisco is CHG by the canal, and 9,74s by Magellan. To Para the distance by the canal is is 5,642 miles, and by Magellan 1t is lO,s52 miles.
 New York is nearer to Yokohama by 3,76S miles than by Suez, the former route. The Suez route. how ever, is eighteen miles shorter than the Panama route for vessels plying between New York and Hongkong.

THE ISSUE WITH GERMANY.

Strict accountability" is the
first word and the last word OF
the United States Government
on this question. What Ger
many says about this matter IS
not highly important. The
President has made it plain that
the United States will tolerate
no policy of maritime lynch law
III respect to the lives and prop
erty of its citizens. On this ! :
sue the American people stand
united.
1t is not our affair that British
sea power is slowly crushing
Germany under its weight OF
guns and armor-plate. 1t is net
our affair that the German navy
is afraid to risk decisive battle
with the British navy for the
military mastery of the sea in
this conflict. l is not our affair
that Great Britain can obtain
food and munitions of war from
neutral states and Germany can
not. When Germany invaded
Belgium and brought Great
Britain into the war, she assum
ed all the disadvantages of that
undertaking. The United States
will not submit to have the lives
and property of it's citizens snuff
ed out in desperate attempt or
the part of Germany to overcome
| at the expense of neutrals ths
Isuperiority of British sea power
which holds her in a grip O.
| steel.
| The American case has beer
fully stated by the President
There is nothing that can b,
added to it. Unless GERMANY il
determined to isolate hersel
from all the world except he
Turkish and Austrian allies, un
less she is resolved to strip her
self of every friend, unless it i
her purpose to become the out
law of the nations, with her han,
raised against every man AM
every mans hand raised agains
her, she will abide by the kindl
4 and courteous warning whic'
she has already received fror
President Wilson.
This is not question of allen
