TOLD OF Won HINDENBUR0
MANY Anecdotes Concerning Famous
German, stratesist Are Being
Put In Circulation.

OF the telling OF anecdotes about
the doughty Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg there Is no end just now In
Germany. So huge is the fame won
by the victor OF Tannenberg. Lodz, ana
the Masurian lakes that anybody who
knows anything whatever about him.

to have 1t printed in the German pa
pers for the delectation Of linden

be distinctly embarrassing to the
grim old war dog. For instance. one
newspaper has discovered poem dat
ing from 1886. written In the visitors
book Of the castle OF Kynast In 81
lesia, which Ia declared to be the work
OF him who is now the idol OF Ger
many. The poem deals with the writ
er's thoughts as he looked out from
the tower of the castle over the land
scape spread below. AS might be ex'
pected. Hindenburg saw in that land
scape a possible battlefield, and wrote
to that effect Perusal Of the verses
leaves the impression that no is bet
ter at fighting battles than writing
about them.
The field marshal's sister has also
raked up from his past poem. This
one consists OF exactly three lines.
and is Of a waggish nature. His Sis
ter had made a sketch Of him on the
anniversary of the battle of Sedan,
showing him comfortably installed at
his Prussian home, and her brother
wrote under 1t the three line poem.
which humorously contrasts the ex-
element OF the day on which he took
part in that memorable battle with his
peaceful laziness on the anniversary.
Here Is another Hindenburg anec-
dote recounted by his sister:
After the battle Of Tannenberg last
August, when Hindenburg annihilated
q Russian army opposed to him. he
went to church In a small village near
the battlefield. When the services
were over, hundreds of the villagers
crowded about his automobile, shout
ing their thanks to him for delivering
them from the Russian invaders. But
the victor cut short their demonstrar
lions by pointing brusQuely upward
with his hand and saying:
"Give thanks to him up there.
Then he signaled to the chauffeur
to speed away.

Another Shark Story,

Passengers arriving at New York by
the transatlantic liners bring strange
stories, not all of which are based on
the war. Some time ago shark was
swimming along in the wake of a ship
catching all the refuse thrown over
board. One Of the sailors, who had
well-founded antipathy for all sharks,
determined to try q new method OF
soaring the shark away. With this
end in view he procured an alarm
clock. which he carefully wound and
set to go of in 20 minutes. Then the
sailor tied the clock to q rope and
dropped it overheard. The shark in
stantly swallowed it. When the alarm
went of he was truly scared. The
shark manifested this In various ways.
He drst stood on his hind legs and
turned somersaults. The big fish final
ly took refuge in flight, meanwhile
flashing the water furiously with his
tail The other day this same shark
was captured by the same ship. When
tho monster was drawn on deck by
the Triumphant crew 1t was discovered
that he was the one who had swal-
lowed the clock. When he was cut
open the alarm went OF again.

FELT UNCLE WAS H0RRiD
Only Her Third Engagement In Few
Months and His Congratulations
Hint at Fickleness.

A certain charming young thing OF
this town has an uncle Of whom she
has always been. and still Is. very
fond: but just at present she Is con-
WINGED that he Is as catty as any wom-
an she's ever known.
She tells the story herself:
Listen You know l have always
had an excessive affection for Uncle
Dick. and have without exception told
him everything-absolutely every
thing.
Now. the fact that have had SO
much trouble with-well. you know
with whom-has never been a joke to
me. Last year, when that affair with
Tom was on, wrote, Of course, to
Uncle Dick about it-Uncle was then
in the West. Now, since he always
liked Tom. he wrote me beautiful
letter, offering me all manner OF felici-
tations and wishes for a bright and
prosperous future. l treasured that
letter from Uncle Dick.
Now, 1t isn't necessary for me to
refer to my disappointment in Tom
his behavior justified any action on my
part. l know that people say threw
him over and all that sort OF thing,
but. honestly, there was only one thing
to do, and of course l did it.
We'll, l suppose it did seem a little
startling to Uncle Dick. when a little
over two months after the writing OF
his first letter, he received another
from me, telling him Of my engage
ment to Harry. But uncle was terribly
nice about it. He approved of my
course in the matter, even though he
did prefer Tom to anybody else. And
/ couldn't complain Of the letter uncle
sent me in reply to the second. 1t
was just as nice as his first, although
he did give hint of surprise.
1T was afterward that Uncle Dick
showed himself most Objectionable.
Two weeks ago, when found that.
after all was said and done, 1t was
really Clarence that loved. l got
third letter from Uncle Dick-the
brute! After acknowledging the re-
ceipt of my announcement he went on
to say:

Commander Vilkitskii. the discover

GREEN PEPPERS IN FAVOR
Varieties Are Numerous and Have
Been Improved in Late Years
Magnum Dulce Is Largest.

Green peppers can be grown on any
good garden soil, but should not be
put out till the ground is warm. The
varieties of peppers unlike the egg
plant are numerous, and therefore
have been greatly improved Of late
years.
The upright sweet salad is a fine
pepper 1t is bright scarlet in color,
mild and sweet.
Magnum Dulce is by far the largest
pepper in cultivation, and the most
prolific; no other variety gives such
large specimens. 1t is very sweet and
perfectly reliable.
Ruby King is one of the standards
and has for many years been deserv-
ing of first place among the varieties
of peppers, but in many respects 1t is
not equal to the above described
kinds.
Chinese Giant is very large, but not
as prolific as some of the other large
varieties.
