The Watts Variation.

Alfred Watts, the young futurist
poet, was lunching with his publisher
at a Broadway restaurant recently,
and while waiting for his bill he
amused himself by matching quarters
with his host. After several dollars
had changed hands, the publisher
looked through the window at one Of
those entertaining little Detroitobiles
standing at the curb. and said, face
tiously:
"Tll match you for that car, Alfred"

Homesick.


PitChoune was q soldiers dog, born
in a stable. Of n mother who had been
dear to the canteen Michette had been
une vraie vivandiere, real daughter
of the regiment.
Pitchoune was worthy son. He
adored the drums and trumpets. lie
adored the fife. He adored the drills
which he was accustomed to watch
from a respectable distance. He liked
Brunet, and the word had not yet been
discovered which would express how
he felt toward Monsieur le Capitaine,
his master, His muscular little form
expressed 1t in every fiber. His brown
eyes looked 1t until their pathos might
have melted heart OF iron.
There was nothing picturesque to
Pitchoune In the Chateau d'Esclignac
or in the charming room to which he
was brought. The little dog took a
flying tour around 1t. over sofas and
chairs. landing on the window seat,
where he crouched. He was not
wicked, but he was perfectly miser.
able. and the lovely wiles OF Julia Red
mond and her endearments left him

STATES FIRST WHEAT CROP
WAS THRESHED SATURDAY

First crop of wheat to be harvest
ed in Louisiana was put through
the threshing machine Saturday.
The grain was grown on the Lorang-
er tract in Tansipahoa parish.
1t has been the contention pre-
viously that wheat could not be
grown in Louisiana because of the
rust. The present crop, however, has
no rust, except speck on the straw
and the grain is unframed. The
threshing Saturday dispelled all
doubt.

After weeks of searching they

The bogus Brady, knowing that
he could never dispose of them in
