improvements in the unonganiz-
ed districts of the county has
been discussed TO some ex-
tent in the county papers, and
one OL ultil dldS gone 30 18r AZ

the improvements in unOrganized

interviewed every property hold

but, without exception, those
We have met assure us that
their improvements were given

neither my deputy, $. l.. Hunt,
or myself assessed any of the
improvements while i'm the field.
We had misunderstood our in

Kaiser Greatest Royal Spendthrift

TN little book, "The Real Kaiser"
there is a chapter on the Kaiser as
a business man. All his business is
transacted in a great, bare room at
Potsdam = an apartment familiar to
many German men of business. On
the walls are hung sprueche - mot
toes in large characters adorned with
gilt frames. The Kaiser's favorite
Spruch-writer is Ludwig Ganghofer-
sort of Bavarian Samuel Smiles.
"He has provided Germany with the
breakfast cereals Of fits literature, the
hard, gritty nibs of wisdom which have
become popular largely through the ad-
miration of the Kaiser" 1t is said that
'Be strong in pain" and BE satisfied
with the day as It comes are two of the
Kaiser's pfavorite notices.
The Kaiser is described as probably
the widest spendthrift that ever wore
crown" He keeps up many castles and
palaces. He maintains and manages three
theaters-aIl run at a heavy loss. His
Court Is the most pompous and costly In

tionaries with high-sounding titles. char

Records of Gluttony.

TINE other day a man named Harris,
of Boulder, Col, tried to win $40
wager by devouring a dinner that
had been prepared for a family Of twelve.
He is reported to have attacked at table
a fifteen-pound turkey with oyster dress
ing, three loaves of bread, six sweet po-
tatoes, two punches Of celery. four dishes
of cranberry sauce, one glass Of mint
Jelly, six bananas with cream, one pound
of butter. one order Of squash. two mince
pies, and two dishes Of plum pudding
with brandy sauce, and six cups of cof-
fee. He had reached the mince pie stage
when he became unconscious.
There are eating clubs in New York
where the champions are those who can
consume beefsteak by the pound. One
man at an outing last summer Is said to
have eaten 200 clans. He also drank
great quantity of beer. and II Is further
stated that he was not seen IN his
haunts again for two weeks
New York record is that OF feeating
q peck of English walnuts in the space
Of an hour. Not to use salt in the eating
was one of the conditions of the record.

Mccartney is credited with eating hve

ser's personal surroundings; and in his
case they are,all salaried on a scale which
is princely. according to the standard of
German officialdom-"
He has also to provide for such host
OF poor relatives as afficts no other Eu-
ropean monarch; the incomes of his six
sons are all paid by the Kaiser himself.
and when travelling abroad "he scatters
gifts with Oriental recklessness."
The Kaiser's stationery is described as
fearful and wonderful. "He affects q
light blue paper of beautiful quality, and
bearing an elaborate monogram. The
sheets are of large size, and are never
folded, so that the envelopes which con-
tain his communications are of goodly
size. They are all marked with the in
struction Matter of the highest i'm
portance,' and very often they do contain
matter Of importance to the recipients"
Once he made list Of pompous, ex-
pectant people around the Court, and to
each one he addressed ono of his funny
postcards in one OF his portentous envel-
opes. He had all these communications
delivered by hand, in the middle Of the
night, so that every office and title seeker
was rung out Of his bed to receive the
Imperial missive." This joke, so II is
said. kept the Court gufswing for . veski

The Wearing of the Green" was born
IN Tipperary. 1t is one of the oldest Of
Irish melodies and It has had several
sets of words written to its beautiful
music, but the most famous and the
ones which thrill an Irishman far more
than the words of "Tipperary" do are
these:
"Oh, Paddy, dear. an did We hear the
news that's goin' round?
The Shamrock is by law forbid to grow
on Irish ground:
No more St. Pathrick's Day we'll keep,
his color can't be seen,
For there's a bloody law agin' the wear
ing of the green.
! met with Napier Tandy and he TUX me
by the hand
and he said 'How's poor ould Ireland
and how does she stand?'
She's the most disthressful country ever
yet was seen,
For they're hanging men and women
shere for wearing Of the green"
Tipperary has sung this song more
Justify than any other Irish city. It has
sung Il with an irradieable hatred in fits
heart against the English. Tipperary
has fought England by speech, song and
gun as hard as any other city in Ireland,
and especially during the Iand troubles

How Silk Frauds Are Perpetrated

~ URING recent years increasingly
large quantities Of adulterated
IL silks and various other inferior
substitutes have been palmed of
on the public as the genuine article.
This is a comparatively new form Of
fraud, and those who practice II are so
ingenious that in most instances II Is
said the retail dealer is as ignorant a.
his customer that he Is being grossly
cheated.
Glue Is not a thing ordinarily associ-
ated with silk, but chemical analysis
will reveal a liberal percentage Of 1t in
much of the silk on the market. The
glue is added when the silk is reeled to
increase the fabrics weight and give 1t,
consequently, higher value.
other substitutes used by dishonest
manufacturers for the same purpose are
various soaps, oils, gums and chemicals.
Some manufacturers believe the de-
ception Is harder to detect when the ex-
ira weight is added while the silk is be-
ing dyed. When this is done salts Of
Tin, iron and lead are commonly used.
Weighted silks look rich and feel
heavy, but the process of giving them
false value has weakened the walls Of
their fbers so that they easily break
down. Praying splits will often begin
to appear before the material has been
subjected to any strain-while 1t Is be-
ing made into a gown, is lying on the
shelves Of store or hanging In a closet.
On the other hand, pure silk of good
quality will give more than fifty years
of service with almost no deterioration.
One Of the favorite substitutes for
pure silk is the use of the spun instead
of the reeled fiber. Others which are
hard for anybody but an expert to de-
foot ara nroducad from Sea Island or
other fine grades of American cotton.
Artificial silks. Of which there are
many varieties, resemble the real In ap-
pearance but differ completely in their
properties. They are glossy and attrac-
tfvn, but frequently in1ammable and be-
come gummy in water. They are brit
tie and ineIastic Their weight Is great
er; their price, when dishonest dealers
do not attempt to substitute them for
the real article, is lower.

ton or pinewood pulp completely dis
solved. This forms a slightly viscid fluid
which is pressed through fine holes. The
strands coming from these holes. after
being solidifed and purified, have an
appearance very similar to genuine silk,
but they are solid instead Of hollow,
about one-eighth as strong as real silk
and very much weaker when wet There
are several different kinds made by
various processes, but none of them are
as strong or as durable as genuine
silk, and none will endure heat and
moisture as well as real silk Most of
them would be ruined by moistening
them and attempting to press them with
a hot iron.

= is one Of history's strange little
Jokes that the city whose name is
in the mouth of all England-and
- America; whose fame is being sung
By every British soldier-and American
grillroom vocalist; whose syllables are
upon the lips of these Britishers as they
die, ard of most Americans as they dine
or dance-it is one of history's strange,
incomprehensible little jokes that the city
which is best known by name at present
in the English speaking world should be
cne of the cities that have caused Eng
land some of its greatest troubles.
Tipperary-or Tip-rar-ry as the Irish
call it wac never loved by the English
as much as they now seem to love its
name. Far from that! The English
have previously hated the name of Tip
perary worse than they now hate the
name Of Berlin.
No wonder that Kitchener, war lord
Of England, is endeavoring to put a stop
to the singing of ''Tipperary" and urging
the soldiers to substitute for it song
more dignifed and indicative of the spirit
Of England and its patriotism!
Tipperary and its song of many years
ago is the sharpest sort of thorn in the
English lions side. For, while there are
not many persons who know, Tipperary
vas the birthplace Of another song as
famous as the one that now bears its
name-a song which likewise was sung
while killing and wounding was going on.

fact there are so few that there is not
even a vehicle Of any sort to meet guests
at the railway station. The best the
traveller can do is to wait until farmer
comes along and depend upon his good
nature for lift. If the traveller wishes
to drive about the town he experiences
the same difficulty In getting a convey
ance.
The city lies in the midst Of lovely
country which slopes gently, has a few
patches Of timber but no peat bogs In
the background there are the Silievenar-
mick Hills which rise to varying heights
between 800 and 1000 feet. There il
not a great deal Of cultivated land in the
vicinity but there are large stretches Of
meadow which the farmers use for hay.
Alternating with these meadows are
fine pastures where large herds Of sleek
and fat cattle and many horses Craze
There are several large stock farms In
the neighborhood and in the county fairs
the Tipperary farmers take down one
prize after another with their fine stock.
There is a creamery in Tipperary which
Is said to be the largest in all Ireland.

can make is sent to London.

money they started to build a new Tip

Carpenters, stonemasons. bricklayers
came from all parts of Ireland to help in
the work and in q short time all the
evicted tenants of Tipperary were COM
fortably housed, free Of rent, while the
revenues of the landlord ceased entirely.
But because of a split between the
leaders in the Land League the boycott
was broken before the demonstration was
complete. Some of the tenants slipped
back to their old homes but many stayed
In their new places. which are today still
the property of the League.
Many residents of Tipperary claimed
the "kick-up' ruined the town because
so many Of the tenants went back to the
landlords, who have had them under the
heel ever since. The fact remains that
Tipperary lost much of its prosperity
and many Of its residents came to the
United States. They are coming to
this day as fast as they can save the
money and buy steamship tickets.
The present Lord Of Tipperary is the
Earl of Lismore. He is the head of the
o'Callaghan family who were formerly
kings of Munster and are descended from
q famous Milesian prince. Since history
began the various generations of this
family have taken a prominent part in

The inhabitants Of Tipperary them

'T don't believe there was ever q
deader town than Tip-rar-ry and every
body is going to America who can get

traveller just this past summer.

seemed to be the prevailing sentiment

0'G0RMAN'S WARNING
Senator Thinks Gary Dinner Far
from purely Social"

Senator O'Gorman, who came home
yesterday from Washington for the
holidays, took occasion TO discuss pre-
paredness, the Gary dinner and Colonel
Roosevelt.
IF the people want war" the Senator
said, they will take Roosevelt II they
want peace they will send Mr.. Wilson
back 20 the White House"
The remark was made in discussing
the Gary dinner, III which Colonel
Roosevelt was guest, and which, the
Democratic Senator thought, was not a
purely social affair"
81 believe il had definite political
significance" he said. 1T shows that
there Is an element that will do any
thing to beat Wilson, even to support
ing Roosevelt. The nation owes its
present peace 20 the sanity and calm
wisdom of President Wilson"
Senator O'Gorman said he credited
the lawmakers in Congress with too
much patriotism to make preparedness
partisan.
81 am convinced that the country Is
for a reasonable, adequate prepared
ness" the Senator said. There may
be difference Of opinion on the
method of taxation to pay for the ne
cessity. but those difficulties will be
settled. II will be a small matter per
capita. The programme for making NE
nation safe is going through"

1T. R.W TAFT JUST SMILES
Through with Politics, but Would Like
to Make All Bachelors Husbands.
by Telegraph TO The Tribur

Philadelphia. Dec. 23.-Ex-President
Taft, a smiling sphinx on the subject
Of Roosevelt's candidacy, professedly
uninterested in politics. but overflow
ing with advice on matrimony. passed
through this city to-day on his wav
to Allentown, where he spoke at the
dedication of the Nurses College this
afternoon.
How do | know" he replied when
asked II Colonel Roosevelt would. in
his opinion, become the Republican
candidate for the Presidency. And a
smile was mis- answer when he was
questioned as to the appropriateness
Of such a selection.
"l'm through with politics. said Mr.
Taft. 81 positively will not be a can
didate. No, not II nominated unani-
mously."
The ex-President looked older than
on his last visit 70 this city. His cold.
which was unusually severe. seemed
better. His reticence disappeared when
politics was shelved for matrimony.
"Ah,' he said. "Now. what finer
Christmas present could a bachelor re-
eeive than a nice bride? | consider
myself practical man when il comes
to marriage; not that wish to appear
c0nceited. but l really am very sensible.

AMERICAN WAR filters HERE
Three Ayiators for France Profoundly
Respect Teuton Guns.

Three young Americans, who have
been taking birds-eye views Of the
European trenches from French aero
planes since the war started. returned
yesterday on the HollandAmerica liner
Rotterdam on an eight days leave.
They are william Thaw and Elliot Cow
din, of this city, and Norman Prince, OF
Boston, and are decorated with the
French war medal for bravery.
After many flights over the enemy's
lines the. three are Injured 10 being un-
der FIRE in midair, but between their
modesty and French military regula-
tons there was no chance for them TO
tell OF their exploits. The young men
have a profound respect for the Ger
man anti-aircrsft guns, for they have
found il almost impossible 70 keep out
of their range. II is not uncommon
for bits OF shrapnel TO pierce the wings
Of their machines
Cowdin has been several times re-
ported killed. In smilingly denying
these rumors he explained that he was
one Of the most killed men in the army
because one OF the American aviators
who fell behind the German lines and
was not heard from again had been
mistaken for him.

Chicago. Dec. 23.-Dorothea Vollmer,
daughter of Representative Henry

wealthy commission man, Of Chicago,
and Harry Vollmer, brother Of Doro-

Palm was invited to spend the vacation
with the Vollmer family.
Within a week Miss Vollmer and
Palm decided that they could not get
along without each other. Yesterday
they motored to Moline, bought the en-

after a wedding license and were mar
ried. Then they went with Mr.. and
Mrs. John c. Dye, Of Indianapolis, mu-
tual friends, to hotel for the wedding
feast
In the meantime friends telephoned
10 Mr.. and Mrs. Vollmer, who later un-
expectedly appeared at the celebration.
Dorothea was dragged from her young
husband and locked in her room. TINS
evening the bridegroom returned TO
Chicago. He was told that he must
