ALL CHARGED U? TO BROWN
Janitor Had Lost Nothing and Had
Made Something of Reputation
for Urbanity.

One day Brown lost his temper and
determined to discipline the janitor
why is it." he said, that every
time anybody in this building loses
anything you ask us if we know what
has become of it?"
Because" the janitor replied, you
are the only folks that never lose any
thing"
Next morning Brown shouted down
the dumbwaiter shaft: We're short
a bottle of milk; where is it?"
Il don't know, sir" the janitor an
swered humbly. "In see if l can
find it,"
Why" said Mrs. Brown. we got
our milk"
Don't worry" said her husband.
"Of course he can't find it, but it will
do him good to stew around little.
About Is minutes later Brown was
summoned to the dumbwaiter.
Here's your milk said the janitor.
I'm sorry ! made mistake"
Brown was bewildered. "Now,
where on earth did the fellow get it,"
he said.
HE has taken it from one of the
neighbors," walled Mrs Brown.
Next day Brown complained of the
loss of a package of sugar, which,
though purely imaginary. so far as the
Browns were concerned, very soon
materialized in the hands of the re-
sourceful janitor. Even Brown got
uneasy then; but, being bent on ven
geance, he subsequently reported as
lost bread, head of lettuce, and
bag of potatoes, all of which were i'm
mediately produced by the janitor.
When Brown paid his grocery bill
for the month, Mrs. Brown, who is a
systematic housekeeper, scanned the
account
why, they have made mistake"
she said. They have charged US for
milk and sugar and things we never
got"
Brown went back to the grocery to
inquire
TITS all right" he said; upon his
return. I'VE got the stuff The jan.

the steam trawler Remagio landed at
Grimsby, a Swede named Nielsen, one
of the crew Of the Danish steamship
Marie, which was blown up by Ger
man mine in the North Sea.
After the disaster the crew es-
capped from the sinking ship in two
lifeboats, seven in each. The cap
tain's boat was picked up by the Will
son liner Juno. Nielsen was in the
mates boat, which in darkness and
rough sea became separated from the
other boat. Though they had food,
the bitter cold and the repeated
drenchings by waves caused the men
in the boat terrible sufferings.
On the second day one man went
mad and jumped overheard, and later
two other collapsed and were washed
out Of the boat. The same night a
fourth and fifth man died, leaving
Nielsen and the mate alone. The
next day the mate succumbed, and
Nielsen was left tossing in a boat
half full of water. At night he saw
a trawler's lights and shouted with
all his strength, and tainted when he
heard the fishermens' answering
halls.

Amendments to the workmen's
compensation law have been agre I'd
to by the conference composed of
state labor bureau officials, union la
Dor representatives, the employers
association and men from the mining
companies of the iron range. Fifteen
amendments to the 1913 law were
agreed to and are being drafted to
be introduced as bill with the sup
port of all interested. They tend to
make the law more liberal to the en-
ploye, it is claimed. Among other
charges they raise the minimum al
lowance for disability from Sc to
$3.50 a week, and provide that in
cases of total disability the allow
ance shall be paid during life, in
stead of a maximum of 300 weeks.

to their cause, woman suffragists had
placed on the desk of each senator
yesterday map showing which states
had granted women the vote, to-

as to the application of women suf-

There are many who favor the sug-
gestion of immigration Commission

that there are land men who do not
hesitate of overstate the quality of
certain land where the possibilities
are that by so doing a sale may b.
contaminated. A license would pro-
tect both purchaser and the legiti-
mate dealer, and would act as 4
check back system for all complaints.
The dealers should be bonded, says
Sherman, to make the scheme sue
cessful.

played remarkable presence Of mind
and took scommand of his platoon
when the officers and platoon-leaders
had been shot down, but If it hadn't
been for that sarcastic query "Why
not go yourself" he might not have
got the little bronze. cross, which Is
the ambition of every British soldier.
Bent, who is home, wounded, tells
the story in a very matter of fact
way: atWeZwere,,a as usual, taking our
hour turns alternatively, watching
for the. enemy, and L had Struggled
down into my hole We had no Off
Ger in our, trench. and my. platoon
leader had, gone to visit post when
someone passed the word down the
line that the battalion was to re-
tire. This was being done when
woke up. I started to, follow them,
when remembered a German trum-
pet which had found, and had car
ried with me for some time: =.
II did not want to lose it, so went
back for it, CHANGING a bullet. When
I got into the trench saw someone
just coming around the corner, and
thinking it was a German, I waited
for him till he had crawled up to me.
then poked my rifle into him and
asked him who he was It was Ser
geant Waller, who told me that the
retirement was wrong order. l at
once jumped out of the trench and
ordered the men back. While was
doing this, an officer came up, and
after I hal told him what had hap
pened he directed me to get the men
back while he went after some others.
We got back safely into the trench
and waited. r.
I'm the early morning the Ger
mans evidently thought we had left
the trenches for after a lombard
ment, they attacked. They came on
doing a sort of goose step. Our Of
ficers kept our fire back, and in the
meantime, Lieut.. Dyer brought up
machine gun. When the Germans
were about 400 yards off, the order
was given to fire. and they went down
in hundreds, very few of them get
ting back to their own trenches.
"After breakfast, Private McNully
went out of the trench and on re-
turning was hit in the pit of the
stomach. He fell, and the Germans
were trying to hit him again; you
could see the earth flying all around
him. I said: why doesn't some
one go out and help him. and got
the reply, why not go yourself?' I
went. To make it more difficult for
the Germans to hit me, I zigzagged
toward him, along the ground. They
did not snipe at me while I was adj
vancing, but as soon as got hold of
McNully's shoulder something SEEM
ed to make my feet go from under
me, and slipped down by him.
"This happened close to the walls
of ruined convent and just as (
fell several bullets struck the wall,
sending piece of plaster against
my left eye. though l was wound
ed and started to rub the blood away,
as I thought, but fortunately the skin
was only grazed. I felt it was time
to get out of it, and knowing it was
impossible to stand up, I hooked my
feet under McNully's arms and using
my elbows, managed to drag myself
and him back to the trenches, about
twenty-five yards away. When I
got him there went for doctor and
stretcher bearers and as far as l
know he is still alive. Eight days
later got bullet through the flesh
of my right leg and had to be taken
to hospital"
