Towards morning he felt tired, and
warm and comfortable as the weather
was, he undressed and went to bed In
a ditch. When he finally awoke from
his slumber he was astounded to find
that the circumstances indicated that
he had been turned into a soldier All
his civil clothes were gone. In their
place was soldiers uniform with a
saber and leather girdle. He could
not continue his journey stark naked,

Denmark seems to be in mood to
grant everything that the Icelanders
see fit to ask for. Now they have
passed a law authorizing the use of an
lcelandic dag, and the king is pre-
pared to sanction the law. The flag

political parties represented in the

A Danish commission recently went
to England to endeavor to induce the
British government to except Den
mark from the general embargo on the
expectation of coal. The chairman of
the commission, banker and member
OF the cabinet, reported upon his re-

successful. The Danes may have prac-
tically all the coal they need from
England.
A problem which has confronted the
farmers of Denmark for some time,
namely, the construction of a motor
which may be used with profit in place
OF horses, seems to have been solved
by the Danish Tuxham Manufacturing
company, which is turning out the
Tuxham motor plow. The motor can
be used not only for blowing, but also
for practically all other kinds of farm
work. The plow can turn over from
three-fourths to one acre of ground an
hour and the cost of the oil for that
amount Of work is only II cents. One
man can run the plow. The motor may
be used for running small threshing
machine. A number Of plows have
been sold both in Denmark and abroad.

AUTHORS FOREWORD

This little story is the outcome of
two trips meither of which was in the
Bear Tooth fOrest during the years
1909 and 1910 The golden trail is an
actuality for me. The camp on the
lake was mine. The rain, the snow
met, the prying camp robbers, the
grouse, the muskrats, the beaver, We're
my companions. But Berea McFarlane
was with me only in imagination. She
is a fiction, born of a momentary pow
erful handclasp of western rancher's
daughter The story of Wayland Nor
cross is fiction also. But the McFar-
lane ranch, the mill and the lonely
ranger stations are closely drawn pic
lures of realities. Although the stage
of my comedy is Colorado l have not
held to any one locality. The scene is
composite.
1t was my intention originally to
write a much longer and more impor-
tant book concerning Supervisor Nc
Farlane, but this is merely the very
slender story of a young western girl
who, being desired of three strong
men, bestows her love on a tourist
whose weakness is at once her allure
ment and her care. The administration
problem, the sociOlogic theme, which
was to have made the novel worth
while, got lost in some way on the
low trail and never caught up with
the lovers. I'm sorry, but so it was.

In an address by Commander in Chief
Palmer to members of the Grand
Army of the Republic at Chicago.
You are the ones to arouse the,
people" Palmer said. Il do not want
this country to go to war any more
than millions of her patriotic citi-
zens do, but We should be prepared
in order to defend ourselves in case of
attack-and you are the men to arouse,
the people.
You all suffered through the lack
of preparedness during the Civil war
and it is your duty to your country
anu to your fellowmen to use every
effort to advance the cause of pre-

INVESTING MONEY.

Don't Buy Securities Unless You Are
Positive They Are Sound.
A good counselor Of Wall street was
talking to me about investments IN
stocks. He said:
"Tell people not to be in hurry to
buy. The average investor, as differ.
entiated from the steady Spectator,
doesn't put much money into stocks,
and what he does Invest is apt to be
the accumulation Of months or years.
He can very well afford to wait until
he finds out about the stock which in
terests him.
"The stock market is with us always
Tell your friends to study it carefully
for time before going into it. Tel
them to put their money in a savings
bank for six months and let it draw in.
terest at 3 or per cent while they
study the market actions of the stocks
they think of buying. Suppose in that
time prices do rise steadily and the
stocks prove to be sound-the increased
price in that case will be small tax on
their ultimate profits"
1t is good advice for all investors OF
small experience. An investment
ought to have a market price-whetheI
1t be stocks, bonds, mortgages, com
mercial notes, farms or city real estate
The market price of a safe and sound
investment ought, on the whole, to rise
when it says the depression ought not
to be great, and it ought to be due tC
perfectly logical and easily understand
able causes
Beware of the seller who tries tc
hurry you into buying by saying that
the market price of what he has to sell
Is going up. In most instances you'll
find that he's wrong, and If it does &C
up consistently and logically over pc.
riod of months you may~reasonably ex
pect that after you buy it it's rise will
continue.
Don't be in hurry. You can easily
lose in an hour what has required
years to accumulate. Look, listen, in
vestigate! The financial history of in
yestments open to the average buyer
can be learned-usually the bank in
which you have your money deposited
can put you in the way of learning 1t

GOLF SKIRTS AND BEACH DRESSES.
For the extra shirt that fittingly
accompanies a tailored skirt topped
by a sweater or sport coat, there are
practical models to suit any taste,
and in these times when the flare
has taken all the world by storm it
is remarkable how many plain skirts
of very modest width are. worn by
people who can buy whatever they
desire. Pleated styles with the
pleats either at front and back, or
grouped at either side are smart
and one sees of course, full circular
models in this class, but not as a
rule so we'll carried as the moderate
cuts.
The simple, well made type of
dress variously known as a Palm
Beach or Porch Dress, is coming to
be a great favorite with discrimi-
mating women who like simplicity
combined with style cut and per-
lection of finish. These gowns take
the place of the smart utility serge
which is the standby of almost every
Frenchwoman as we'll as a host of
Americans, for between season
wear.

If ever the world outdoors calls

coral tones to dull rich amethyst
and olive greens, that appeal to those
who like quieter tones. Blues of
all shades, and copper browns and
grays are all in the running and
fashionably worn. These are rivalled
by woods with soft velvety surfaces in
checks and plain colors which are the
ideal selection where a really warm
weight is desired, though sweaters
are usually donned for this purpose
under the lighter weight wraps.

FIRST RECORDED ECLIPSE.
Chinese Astronomers Were Punished
For Not Predicting 1t.

For NOT predicting 1t.
Messrs. Hirayama and Ogura have
published In the proceedings of the
Tokyo acknowledgement society
the results of their attempts to fix the
dates Of some early eclipses recorded
in Chinese literature.
The earliest is mentioned in one of
the books of the Shu Ching, where it is
recorded that in the region Of Chung
K'ang, the fourth emperor Of the Hsia
dynasty, there occurred an eclipse of
the sun which had not been predicted
by the astronomers, who were alleged
to have been drunk and to have
neglected their duties. Hence the Gus
tomary rites for delivering the sun,
which should have been arranged in
advance and superintendent by the as
tronomers, were in the emergency per-
formed by other officials without
proper preparation. The emperor ac-
cordingy ordered the army to punish
the astronomers.
A later document makes 1t possible
to fix the date of this event as Oct. 10,
2127 B. C. Julian calendar)-the earli-
est recorded eclipse in the world. Cal
culation shows that there actually was
solar eclipse on that date, but prob
ably not in China, though the elements
Of the motions of the sun and moon
are not accurate enough to indicate
certainly the path of so remote an
eclipse. The authors are inclined to
think that the information fixing the
date of the eclipse is due to Chinese
astronomers of a later age, who cal
culated that an eclipse occurred on
that date and enormously supposed
that it was visible in China.
