plate glass quarter OF an inch thick
The bird, which weighed twenty
ounces, was found dead in the living

The impact of it's body broke hole in
the heavy glass about three feet in dl.

feet square and close to the ground
It overlooks large lawn, which at

DUTY OF THE ADMlNISTRA.
TON TO STOP PLOTS AND
CONSPiRACiES

We denounce all plots and
conspirac.es in the interest OF
any foreign nation. Utterly In
tolerable is the use OF our soil
for alien intrigues. Every Am.
erican must unreservedly con.
denim them, and support every
effort for their suppression. But
here, also, prompt. vigorous and
adequate measures on the part
Of the Administration were
needed. There should have
been no hesitation; no notion
that it was wise and polite to
delay. Such an abuse OF our
territory demanded immediate
and thorough-going action. AS
soon as the Administration had
notice of plots and conspiracles,
It was It's duty to stop them.
1t was not lacking in resources.

tinuance cannot be escaped by

ON MEN WHO WASH DISHES
He is Strong Who Can Lay Down
Rules to His Wife

Few men are willing to admit to
their business associates or to their
club companions that at home they
help to wash the dishes. And when :
lord of creation, his sleeves rolled up
and his manly form supporting a
bingham apron, in the seclusion of the
pantry is sloshing pots and kettles
and pans thru liquid that has the
color and consistency of split pea
soup, to be discovered by any neighbor
woman means abject debasement.
Then, too, he knows how to make
the stenographer tremble with concen-
trated attention to business (until his
back is turned), and how to bark at
the telephone operator who lisps Ian
guidly, "numberah puh-leeze." But
when he attempts to tell his wife how
to wash dishes according to office rules
or business principles he is fortunate
if he escapes a swipe in the face with
a damp and dank and none too de-
lectable dish towel.-St. Louis Herald
Republican.

THE CAR is RICH

AS head of the church he owns ali
of the church property of the realm,
amounting to billions. But that can
be left out of consideration. He owns
in his own name a hundred and fifty
million acres of land, and upon this
land are the most magnificent timber,
the most colossal mines, and agricul-
tural lands enough to furnish food for
a nation of people. The state, or gov
ernnrent; pays him salary of ten
million dollars year; and if he want
ed more, all he would have to do would
be to sign an order demanding it, since
he is the state himself, in a sense.
The car pays his own expenses.
That is, he maintains his own palaces
and royal residences, some one hun
dred in number, and takes care of the
cost of the households of all the royal
personages of the nation. This in
wolves some thirty thousand servants,
three hundred automobiles, five thous-
and horses, and a small army of SOL
diers and secret-service men. So it
is necessary that he have considerable
income.
All of the mines of Siberia are own
ed by the car personally. He gets a
royalty on every ounce of mineral that
is mined. The agricultural lands are
rented, and the forests are being
worked up into timber, which must be
accounted for. So no matter how tic
war terminates, unless Germany IS
able to overrun Russia and take the
entire country, the Car isn't likely to
suffer from the heat in summer or the
cold in winter.
