An Unpoetical Fence.

The Hon. Joseph Sibley of Pennsyl-
vania has fine, big summer place up
on Lake Champlain.
He delights to take representatives
up to his house and entertain them.
One summer John Sharp Williams was
in party. Williams had fine time.
That winter, when things were dull
in the house, Williams wrote a poem
about Sibley's place. 1t was a tender
little ballad, describing a lovesick cou
pie who sat on the fence and spoon
ed In the moon, while the silvery wa
tiers Of Champlain beat with fairy fin
gers on the shimmering shore or words
to that effect.
He took it over to Sibley. "See here,
joe" he said. i've written fine
poem about your place up on Lake
Champlain. Read It."
Sibley read it and handed it back
without comment.
what do you think of itY' asked
the poet
"Rottenv said Sibley.
"Why so?" flared Williams. Its a
good poem, and that's a fine touch
about those people sitting on the fence
In the moonlight"
"Fine touch. snorted Sibley. II
should think it was. All the fences on
my place are made of barbed wirew--

My untried strength may fail me-

Fierce tempests may assail me;
But, though my goal never see,

NAVAL TORPEDOES.
Intricate Mechanism Of These Awful
Engines of Destruction.

Intricate Mechanism of These Awful
Engines of Destruction.
AT the torpedo's head is an explosive
chamber which holds damp guncotton.
This is fired by means of rod which,
on contact with the walls Of ship, is
driven in upon detonator. This fires
a primer, which in turn explodes the
guncotton.
The next chamber stores compressed
air to the pressure Of 1900 pounds to
the square inch. This is practically
the boiler room Of the torpedo for it
supplies the motive power to the four
cylinder engine which drives it through
the water on its errand Of destruction
Z. Next comes the wonderful gyroscopic
control Of the air motor by which the
rudders are adjusted This is where
the intricate mechanism of the torpe-
do is so clearly demonstrated. Should
1t rise or dip in the water this gyro-
scope actuates a motor which in turn
operates rods related with the rud-
ders and at once readiusts any deflec-
ton from the course originally set
The motor mentioned is but few
inches in length, yet the power 1t ex-
erts by means Of compressed air is
such that the pressure of half an ounce
operated by the steering gear produces
pull of 100 pounds on the rudders.
This terrible fish's tail holds wheel
gearing for the driving of two pro-
pellers and the manipulation of the
rlldders The propellers reyolye in op-
posite directions. thereby preventing
the torpedo describing a circle.-Lon-

Women and the Old Olympic Games.

Women and the Old Olympic Games.
One rule of the original Olympic
games could not be followed nowadays
without provoking serious troubles.
Women were not allowed to be present
or even to be anywhere in the district
when the games were being celebrated
on pain of being hurled from precipi-
tous rock. This rule Is believed to
have been defied only once. when the
offender was pardoned in consideration
of the fact that her father. brothers
and son had been victors in the games.
One particular priestess. however. was
not only exempt from this law, but
was accommodated with special front
seat on an altar of white marble. and
women were allowed to enter chariots
for the races, though they might not
be present to see them win.

BARRIE'S LITTLE JOKE.
He Was Failure as Presiding Officer
and He Knew Il.


There Is only one recorded instance
OF Sir J. NJ. Barrie's acting as chair
man of public meeting. In the Cen
fury Magazine Mr.. John d. Williams
told the story to the American public.
1t was on the occasion of Burns ceie-
bration
Barrie took the chair as presiding Of
hcer and then kept to it firmly
Throughout the entire proceedings he
did not utter single word. but re-
manned as if glued TO the horribly con
spicuous chair, loathing his predica
ment. but inwardly amused at the ex
pressions ON the faces Of all about him,
which made dismally clear the fact
that he was failure as presiding Of
ficer.
When the meeting was almost half
finished Barrie took advantage of a
laxative group in front of him and
quietly stole away before any one had
a chance to miss him. But the next
week well known Saturday review
printed satirical article called Mr..
Barrie In the Chair" The thing was
simply whitening in its ironical account
of the dumb presiding officer who
eventually fed, leaving a meeting to
preside over itself. The greatest re-
greet was naturally expressed by those
who had persuaded Barrie to come to
the Burns celebration. and among his
friends tremendous indignation was
felt and vented. But some day they
will know. if they have not already
found out. that the article was written
by Barrie himself!

Il Brought Results.

Congressman Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock
as proprietor Of one of the largest pa
pers In the middle west, naturally
enough, is a believer in advertising.
Here is story he told recently:
Years ago an elderly gentleman
came into the Office and submitted to
me want ad., offering half interest
in his store at Tekamah for sale.
About week later the gentleman re-
turned with a beaming smile on his
face and told me he had succeeded in
getting a fine partner through the
want ad.
Several days after that the same
gentleman visited me again and said:
Remember that want ad. l gave you
and how 1t got me partner? Well, 1t
didn't stop with that result. My part
ner has decided to board with me. So
you see,I got ,oarder also from the
want ad.'
"I.o and behold, about two months
later the advertiser called to see me
again. Remember that want ad. l
gave your he said, that got me a part
ner and a boarder? Well, that isn't all
1t brought me. My partner, who is a
fine young chap, fell in love with my
daughter, and now I've got a son-in-
law, all through that one little want

Hitchcock, that if looked up the ad,

HARLAN ASKS $50
EXTRA FOR SERVICE

When Denver Harlan, pauper attor-

a petition for an additional approprta-
tion Of $50 for pauper attorney fees
during the last year, he was met with
opposition by members of the council.
After consideration However. eoa,noa
passed the appropriation. making the
total salary of the pauper attorney
for 1914 $3.50, to cover the additional
fees. but the board said this would
be the last time an additional appro-
priation would be made by the pres
ent council.
This practice of presenting demands
for additional money after the origi-
nal yearly appropriations have been
made must be stopped some time. so
we might as we'll stop it right now"
said Lee B. Nusbaum, president Of
the council "The council will always
be found ready to meet any emerg-
ency case with additional appropria-
tions. but county officials must learn
to keep expenses within appropria-
tions'
County Auditor Bowman is prepar-
ing a budget system. which he be-
lieves will alleviate all possibilities of
making additional appropriations. Each
official will be required to keep within
appropriations unless an important
emergency exists. This plan will be
ready for presentation to the COM
missioners and county council early
next year.
