A HORSE" ON GERMAN FARMER
Owner Who Tried to Cheat Government Paid at Own Valuation of Team

Hanover-The story Of the too o-clever farmer who over-reached himself-he should have read Aesops Fables first is making the rounds of horse owners. None of them probably will attempt to initiate him.
 The government was drafting horses a beautiful pair of bays. racked his brain for a scheme by which he could keep them. He knew that if an inspec- tor ever laid eyes on them they would be taken. He finally hit upon the scheme of inducing a neighbor whose old and rundown pair had been rejected to pass them through the line again this time as his own. Among hundreds of horses the pair passing inspection twice was not noticed, and the farmers scheme had worked
 Before long, however. second draft inspection was arranged for, and the farmer did not dare to try his ruse again Instead he approached the lieu tenant in charge and insisted that it would do no good for his horses to be inspected again, as one was broken winded and the other had glanders
 The officer, without any suspicion of the farmer, nevertheless insisted that the horses must be shown, and they were promptly accepted The Judge then proceeded to break the farmers heart by saying that he would ordinar- fly have paid 5000 marks for them. but that in view of the farmers honesty in stating their defects he would only give 1.15V, even though the defects were not visible

POSTAGE STAMPS
By George Fitch

A postage stamp is beautiful little steel engraving which would sell for s1,000 if there was only one copy extant.
 The mission of the postage stamp is to chaperon a letter from hither to yon and to explain to everyone en route that the sender has paid the freight. Like most useful things il was invented late in history. A hundred years ago there were no postage stamps and it was as hard to send a letter as it is today to look up the freight on a sack of potatoes over fifty-mile branch line.
 The postage stamp was invented in the forties of the last century. The first specimens were very crude and had to be stuck on with glue Now, however, a stamp is a work of art and many small countries give themselves a treat by having new and elaborate sets designed every year.
 For many years some of the Cen tral American republics made great deal of money by issuing hand some and elaborate sets of postage stamps annually and selling bales of them to the stamp dealers who re tailed them to the perspiring col lector who was attempting to keep up with the postage stamp produc- tion.
 A postage stamp is also a minia ture hall of fame. Very few Ameri- can citizens have been great enough to get onto an American postage stamp, and those who have done so should feel justly proud. We should so live that fifty years after we are dead bright-haired maiden with eyes of blue will have to buy a pie ture of us and kiss us damply on the back of the neck before she can send a letter to some earnest young hero in the next town.
 The most popular American post age stamp costs two cents and is harder to buy than a cheap auto mobile. When we see long lines of people standing before postoffice stamp window waiting for a clerk to retail dignity and two cent stamps with all the nimbleness of a brass statue we do not feel so confident about Uncle Sam's unpreparedness in war.
 If he is as awkward in war as he is in the retail stamp business he will not get very far towards glory in the next misunderstanding.

 The grand jury indicted Sellovitch for assault in the second degree. The testimony showed that although the couple had been married thirty-th years, their married life had been full of bickerings. On several occa- sions the husband has been in the workhouse on charges preferred by the wife.
 In summing up in defense of the husband. Samuel Feldman. lawyer. quoted to the jury the sayings of regarding women
 From Rabbi Alliba, a Jewish philo : sopher. the lawyer gave the follow ing extract:

Of Hill 60

DUNKIRK, France, Aug. 15.-The present position at Hill so, which the British military authorities admit has lapsed back into German possession, is peculiar and of great interest. The hill is really nothing but knoll of gently rising ground that forms the end of the Klein Zillebeke
 ridge. The German trenches run in double tier along the crest and upper slope, while the British trench es form an irregular line along the edge of the lower slope. The Ger mans are at the top of the hill, while
 the British are a little way up the
 side of it.
 The whole face of the hill pre- sents a picture of the widest con- fusion. Everywhere are huge craters, the result of mine explosions on the night of the British attack. Torn and gaping sandbags are scattered in profusion, broken rifles, odds and ends of equipment of an kinds.
 smashed barb wire, and mass of ether debris lies in bewildering vari-
 ety down the hillside, the whole half hidden in the long grass that has
 sprung up between the trenches.
 The trenches twist and wind in
 remarkable manner. AL one point
 there is an old communication trench running from the British lines straight into the heart of the German position and down this two barri- cades have been erected one on the English side and one on the German side. Here the opposing forces come
 within six yards of each other. Bet
 ween the rival barricades there stretches a short patch of ground shut in on either hand by the crum- bling walls of the old trench.
 At one spot railway bridge spans the British position, and in the cut ting beneath it a large pool of stag
 nant water has collected. Beyond it stretches the railway line, the rails
 torn and twisted, and partly covered with the weeds growing between the ties. The line is under direct fire
 from the German lines and to cross
 it in the open would mean certain

 trench forty yards away. In the pool
 below the bridge a score or more of bodies have been lying for some weeks. and no man dares approach

BUDGET MAKING BY
COMMISSIONERS IS

CITY OFFICIALS DO NOT FEEL

Budget making on the part of the
city commissioners has been held up
for about a month on account of
the pending prohibition election. The
commissioners do not feel inclined to
go ahead appropriating funds on es-

get the benefit of if the election goes

therefore the officials have deferred
final touches to the budgets until it
can be ascertained which way the
vote will go.
Last year there was a delay in
making up the budgets but the i'm

after some time. The delay was
caused by the banking troubles in
