INITIATION FEE is ONE HOG
Knights Of Pythias Lodge Now Has
New Member and Fine
Porker.

Albany, Ore.-A pig was the unique
initiation fee which Walter Miller Jr.,
paid to join the Knights of Phythias
lodge. So, as the result Of an offer
and an acceptance in a joking spirit
the lodge now has good hog which
is worth more than the customary
initiation fee.
Miller had expressed a desire to
join the lodge and was signing an ap-
plication for membership when he
asked the amount Of the initiation
fee.
"Fve got lot of good hogs and will
trade you one of them for my initia-
ton fee," he remarked jokingly, and
members OF the lodge promptly &C.
copied the offer. He volunteered later
to keep the hog and feed it free OF
charge until the lodge desired to sell
ID. and this he is doing.

TOBACCO IN DEMAND
Cigars and Cigarettes Highly
Priced at the Front.
German Soldier Exchanges so Cigar
cites for Whole Steer-Throw Dice
to Decide Puffs Of Cigar for
Each Soldier.

Berlin.-Cigars and cigarettes are
the most highly valued articles at the
front. In an interesting letter. just
received here, German soldier tells
of a trade where he exchanged SO
cigarettes for a whole steer. He
writes:
Most of our boys at the front are
inveterate smokers. They know the
value OF a good weed. Sometimes a
good smoke will make you forget that
your stomach is empty.
For the last two days have been
subsisting on bread and cigars. Our
field butcher-the goulash gun, as we
call it-cannot come up to the battle
line, and so we must live on what
we carry in our knapsacks. A heavy
black cigar will tide you over for
day when there is nothing else to
chew.
"A few days ago we we're all long
ing for some fresh meat There was
none for miles around. Suddenly a
Bavarian detachment came along, with
a whole drove of cattle. First they
refused to let us have any, but after
some bargaining they traded a fat
steer for so cigarettes
Every soldier in our army is sup
piled with two cigars every day at
present. Besides almost everybody
receives tobacco from home. But some
of the cigars we receive are terrible.
They were so bad we could not smoke
them. So we threw them over to the
French, who eagerly gathered them in.
They were so delighted that they gave
us some cognac in exchange. This was
before they commenced to smoke the
cigars. After they had lighted them
they got highly indignant and CON-
menced to fire at us like mad.
There we're days when we had moth
ing to smoke but dried tea leaves and
straw. Then again we have tobacco.
but nothing to light our pipes with.
We are not permitted to have fire in
the trenches, for the smoke would
draw the enemy's fire. Matches are
very scarce and our electric flashlights
give light. but no FIRE. So one of my
comrades has overcome this difficulty
by using a strong magnifying glass
which he found in the pocket Of
French off1cer killed in battle. This
works all right when the sun is
shining.
AT times cigars were so scarce we
had to throw dice in order to decide
to how many puffs each one of us
was entitled. was unfortunate enough
to get only three puffs."

~ Wanderer From Bohemia Rewards
Benefactresses In Chicago -
Promise to Remember Them
In viii Was Laughed At.

Chicago.-Four years ago a young
man, Ill and hungry, applied at the
rear door of house in South Marsh
field avenue for food. The maid called
her mistress and the latter went to the
door.
Come in" she said. you are cold.
Warm yourself at the fire"
The young man was touched by the
woman's kindness and nearly broke
into tears.
you are Jew. are you not?" said
the woman. Don't be afraid to talk.
You are under the roof Of a Jewish
family"
The young man recovered himself.
He told story of coming to America
from Prague, Bohemia, and of finding
himself homeless and penniless. He
was too proud to let his people know
his condition.
An hour before he appeared at the
house in Marshfield avenue he was
discharged from the county hospital.
He had fallen in the street from ep-
ilepsy, and the hospital kept him
three days.
The woman, greatly moved by his
story, gave him a warm meal and let
him sleep that night in the basement.
An old suit of clothes belonging to
her husband was given him and he
was sent to a boarding house by his
benefactress and her sister.
His health became so bad that 1t
was found necessary to deport him.
He returned to Bohemia in September.
1911.
The woman who was kind to the
Jewish boy received word from a
firm of lawyers that by his death she
was left $4,000. The same amount
was bequeathed her sister.
Mrs. Jennie Wolf of sol South

EVERY MAN TO GET OFFICE
Kansas Town to Hold Election In
Which All Males viii Land
Something.

Kansas City, Mo.-The glory OF
Nickletown, Kan, is now like the
glory that was Rome's-gone. Time
was when Nickletown aspired to be
the county seat of Woodson county
and to be rated among the fiourishing
county towns of Kansas. But those
aspirations, along with nearly all Of
Nickletown's population have de-
parted.
Nickletown, however, refuses to re-
linquish its identity as real town. 1t
is going to hold a town election next
spring and select regula- officers.
There is one cheerful feature in it
for the male residents of Nickletown
all of them will get Offices.
There are now only four families
left in the town. T. Q. Allen. Frank
Willis, George Cowles and Oscar Null
SOW are the men now remaining.
Cowles is at present police judge. He
says that Office suits him and he wants
to keep it. The other three have
agreed to let him have his little within
gratified. So the trio all plan to run
for mayor and the two losers will con-
stitute the town council. It's up to
the women to cast the deciding vote.
as all three men say they will vote
for themselves. 1t is considered like
ly that the man who treats his wife
best in the time between now and
election will stand the rosiest chance
of getting to sign Mayor" after his
name.
Nickletown is in the northeast part
Of Woodlawn county.

ment of the postmaster Of Dresden,
one single division of the Saxon re-

600 postal orders amounting to $780,
600 marks (S200,000). Tie same au-

ON such orders during that month by
the various offices within its district
at 2,5O0.00 marks, which. at the same
ratio for the whole empire, would give
a sum approximately 1OO.OoO.OOo

Bay Minette, Ala.-Two freak kit

Mann who resides a short distance
west of this place, are attracting con-
siderable attention. The kittens have
many characteristics of the rabbit and
appear to be cross between a cat

with claws OF cat and hind feet

about, they hop as does a rabbit. and
their "meouw" is more like a grunt

this city, where he had spent the
night. He was brought to this city

Heistan went to the church
and after a search found the can con-
tanning the full amount. Young De-

bond was sent to Jail to await the ac-
tion of the grand jury.

KANSAS
Catholic Paper Tells Truths
That Make EN- Vince
Says IL Is Merely RecapItulating
What Is Taking Place In
Prohibition State.

The Catholic Advance" OF Wich-
ita, Kansas. says It is not riding any
particular hobby, but facts are facts.
And as to Kansas prohibition, the
facts are these:
"1-Kansas has no saloons. Now,
young men can go to their work and
return home without having the CON
stant temptation to drop in and have
a drink" Money would that be spent
for liquor under other conditions is
now taken home to wife and family.
"2,-When our farmers come into
town from the country to pass a day
with the city boys, they are not entic-
ed by the smell of beer or whisky as
they pass along the streets. Old
timers can get liquor in the larger
centers where illicit selling goes on,
but not in small towns. As a result,
the average farmer goes back home
as sober as he came.
"3-If prohibition was submitted
to the people of Kansas tomorrow, Il
would win out fifty to one. There is
not one woman in a hundred who
would vote against it-and women
vote on all State questions in Kan
sas.
"4-As a direct result of prohibit
ton, Kansas has S200,000,000 in
banks and $67,000,O00 in mortgages
in other States. It has 5000 per fam
lily in banks and $3.50 per family in
live stock. In Kansas there are 81
counties without any insane, 54
counties without any feeble-minded,
96 counties without any inebTiates,
38 counties withoue any poor houses, |
So COUNTIES without any persons in
jail and 65 counties without a repre-
sentative in the State penitentiary.
IS. Wichita is the second largest !
city in Kansas. The editor of the |
Advance has a parish in the stock |
yards district and almost every one /
of his men parishioners is a day-la-
borer. Yet there is not a single |
drunkard in this parish, nor is there |
a young man who even occasionally |
tipples. The temptation IS lacking. |
Conditions very similar prevail |
throughout the state.
'6-PrOhibition gives rise to blind |
tigers, speak-easies and Illegal liquor
selling. That is true. But it is so
much harder and so much more dis
to get drink under these
that ninety per cent. of
the growing generation escape the
stane of drunkenness.
a. If any further proof of the
effects of prohibition were needed
we might say that Kansas, with a
Catholic population of 10000, has
1872 parochial schools. Rhode Is
land, whose Catholic population to-
tails 100000 has thirty-siX parochial
schools, while the 100000 Catholics
Of California count eighty five
schools.
"As to the argument that it is
to punish nine sane men in
order to preserve one fool, we shall
not attempt to decied. We are mere
y are capitulating what takes place
IN a prohibition State 1t might be
lust as well to look things sQuarely in
he face"
