Only One Conclusion.

In an Ohio town there is still main.
tanned a stage coach system of trans
portaton, the steeds whereof are of that
sad appearance presented by the horses
attached to the fifth avenue line in New
York not so many years ago, says
Harpers Weekly.
One day a Cincinnati man, visiting the
town in question, boarded a stage, having
no other currency than a IS bill. This
he proffered to the driver. The latter
took it. looked it over for a moment or
SO. and then asked:
Which horse do you want. Bill."

w. II. Whiting of Jonesport, Me. had
heard the story of the man who beat
bartender out Of a drink by ordering a
tin roof which was ION the house"
and decided to do something better and
classier. So he constructed for him
self a tin roof-one that ought to last
him for years unless some one shoots it
full of holes or he should happen to drop
it in the water. Writings tin roof is
not ION the house" or on his house, but
he weare it on his head. Whiting is a
tinsmth, an expert worker in light sheet
metals. He thinks the ordinary straw
hat costs too much and it isn't safe to
wear in the rain and ii doesn't last lcng-
unless it's real Panama, and that's too
expensive for a down East tinsmith. So
to have something shiny as a stovepipe,
durable as the famous glazed hat of
Ed'ard Cutie Mariner, something differ
ent," something that would take the
shine off all the other hats in town and
have lustre all its own, he turned to
his own stock in trade-or rather manu-
facture-and constructed for himself a
hat that is unique in the annals of head
gear. 1t outshines Mambrinos helmet,
made famous by Don Quixote, and out
classes anything in eastern Maine. His
friends have tried to induce him to wear
1t to the Panama Exposition, but he re-
fuses to do that, because he says only
Panamas can be expected to take any
prizes there. Writings hat is made Of tin,
common sheet tin, the same kind of tin
that baked beans and sardines and to-
matoes are put up in. 1t is built on
1915 model. and no fashionable youth Of
the town can put anything over on him
in the matter of style. 1t is neat. but
not gaudy: a tin body with copper
band, not quite as brilliant as ribbon
one with college colors, but more sub
stantial and quite as attractive. At
least. it attracts plenty Of attention
when he wears il on the streets. IT'S
my hat and my head" says Whiting.
and if I want to wear it / don't see
that it's anybodys business But
nevertheless, people make remarks when
it blazons on their sight.

A matter of great interest of Old

way across Treat and Webster Isla nd,

NEEDY REFUGEES
 FLOCK TO PARIS

New York, April 9.-There are now in France SOO,000 French and 100000 Belgian refugees from the war zone, French civilian prisoners from Ger many are returning at the rate of 10,- 900 a week and all are virtually in tatters and half starved. says let ter from H. o. Beatty, director gen. eral of the American Relief Clearing House in Paris to headquarters of the organization here
 The letter was given out today to contradict any impression that help in the shape of warm clothing was no longer necessary.
 "The condition of the refugees is so painful" says the letter, that it is impossible to give an adequate de- scription of their sufferings. but if the situation of the refugees is bad, that of the returning civilian prisoners is infinitely worse. Sufficient stress can not be laid on the urgency of provid- ing clothing of all kinds. particularly warm underclothing and shoes"

The Most Luxurious In Europe
From Tid-Bits.


 Whenever possible the Kaiser when travelling between Berlin and the fighting lines uses his luxurious state train. which is a veritable palace on wheels. Six coaches each weighing over 60 tons, compose the special train, and of these four are reserved for the Emperor and his suite. and the other two are used for kitchens. The sec- ond coach in the train is the one re served by the Kaiser for his personal quarters, and it contains a salon, bed room, dressing room, bath room and sleeping apartments for his body guard The salon is panelled in the wood of an ancient cedar tree taken from Mount Lebanon, the gift of ex- Sultan Abdul Hamid of Turkey. The floor is of black wood taken from the piles of wooden bridge built across the Rhine by Julius Caesar in the year 55 B. C., while the ceiling Is decorated with design representing the six great rivers of Germany.
 The windows of the salon are pro- tected by thick steel bars and armed apartment night and day. The last coach in the train is used by an en- gineer who has charge of the ma chinery which operates a complicated system of emergency brakes. The Kafser's two daschunds, Wardl and Hexl, have their kennels on the train, and they generally accompany their master on his travels.
