HAVE LAUGH ON sNOBERLY
His Fe!ICw Members of the Club Like
Iy to Indulge in Their Merr-
ment for Some Time.

Young Sneberly is very anxious to
create the impression that he is a
dom at French. A few evenings ago,
at the club, he took a French comic
paper, and for half an hour he pre-
tended to be absorbed in its contents
Every once in while he would smile
feebly, as if he had been carried away
by the jokes, and say, audibly, Bon,
tres boni"
There were several gentlemen at
the adjoining table who had been no.
ticing Snoberly's antics. At last one
of them said: tSee that Snoberly over
there pretending to read that French
paper? l am certain that he does not
understand French. He is just doing
that to impress the people with his
knowledge as a linguist.''
"I suppose he must understand
French" replied one of the party.
'I'll bet a bottle of wine that he
doesn't, and I'll prove it."
''Tu take the bet"
Tie gentleman who had made the BET
walked quietly over to Snoberly, and
said, Monsieur, quelle heure est-il?'
(''What o'clock is it, sir?'O
Young Snoberly smiled a Partisan
smile, and gracefully handed over the
paper!-London Tit-Bits.

Leap-Year Advice.

Here is the sage counsel which Miss
Lucille Pugh, feminist, suffragist and
1awyer-and also quite pretty-is
quoted as offering to all bachelor girls,
absolutely without fee, for their leap
year guidance, says the New York
Evening Sun.
Propose to the man of your choice
but look up his rating first"
Short and to the point. By the re-
course to Bradstreet's it is argued that
women may avoid unhappiness fre
quently resulting from penniless mar
riages. Good!-as far as it goes. But
what eminent counselor of the other
sex will not stand forth to aid his
trembling brethren? Such a one
might well advise:
Accept the woman who proposes
to you if you like her, but first looB
up her rating in the domestic arts
One prerequisite is as fair as the
other. For the woman: Do not mar
ry for money, but love where money
| is; for the man: Do not marry tt
| provide yourself with a cook, bu
while marrying you might as wei
marry someone who can make out O
the place you live in home. Some
thing more than a liberal income il
required to produce comfortable Gil
cumstances'' for two.

CAT FEEDS STARVING DOG
Strange Pair Live Eight Days on
Dried Elk Meat Which Pussy
Furnished Comr 1nion.

Deputy Game Warden Brown is
looking for the hunter who killed an
elk In the foothills Of the Olympics
and left the greater portion of it dried
in d small cabin, says the Seattle Post
Inteliigencer.
Browns discovery of the elk meat
deals with the wanderings of an Aire-
dale dog.
Brown borrowed the dog from a
friend when he started into the hills
on a general hunt for lawbreakers,
and when well up in the mountains
he lost the dog. He failed to locate
the animal, and later came to town,
thinking it had returned to it's home.
When he arrived he found that the
dog had not appeared, so he started
out again to try to locate the animal.
Brown luckily stumbled upon a
small cabin we'll up in the mountains,
and here found the dog Brown inves-
tigated the shack and found it well
supplied with elk meat, but on the
rafters was a small domestic cat that
had become wild. The dog had come
across the cat, which had sought ref
uge in the rafters of the cabin. When
hungry the cat ate the dried elk meat
and dropped pieces to the dog below
both living for more than eight days
in this manner.

FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Worlds Markets Supplied With Dates
Which Are Grown on Spot Be-
IieVed to Be the Site.

The London markets and stalls are
covered with dates which come from;
the Garden of Eden.
A palm tree yields approximately
400 pounds of fruit annually, which
represents an income of about GS. It
takes nearly eight years to attain this
state of perfection, but when once
reached, it continues for almost a
century.
Dates can be prepared in many
ways, and are packed according to the
country to which they are being sent.
For instance, dates destined for
America are hand-picked, as the Amer
leans will have no others; the Indians
like them sun-dried; while we like
them "wet" Our dates are prepared
In a special manner-they are piled
on mating and trampled into mass.
The date is not the only product Of
the palm. The stem furnishes kind
Of timber, and the fibers, twisted, be-
come rope. Then, again, the buds are
quite fit to eat, and are considered by
some to be delicacy; and peasants,
too poor to afford house, weave the
fronds into mating, and so make
quite serviceable habitation. Crushed
date-stones form food for the cattle

ReuimentaI journalism,

Steps have been taken by the au-
thorities of the British museum to Sc
cure as complete a collection as pos
sible of the regimental periodicals,
the production of which is one of
the curious features of the present
war. Some of these publications are
printed and others typewriter. They
are not quite without analogy in the
history of past wars. The British who
were besieged at Mafeking during the
Boer war contrived to keep going a
little journal issued daily, shells per-
mitting" In the wars of about a cen
tury ago Lord Exmouth, while carry
ing out a blockade of French ports,
had a printing press set up for the
amusement of officers and men en-
gagged in that tedious duty. They did
not attempt to produce any original
records or literary matter of their
own, but they printed several consid
cradle works, and printed them, it is
said, very well.

Pigeons Learn to Swim.

The swimming of blue pigeons-the
familiar domestic birds-is the re-
markable sight reported to Dutch
natural history journal. Some months
ago one OF the doves was thrown into
the water in a flight and rescued by
human aid, and since then they have
become more familiar with the water.
Pieces of bread noticed in shallow
places evidently tempted them at first.
Gaining courage, they soon learned to
swim, and just before making his
report the observer saw two of them
sailing around like gulls a few yards
from his house. When they tired OF
the bath they quietly flew out of the
water

HERO WORSHIP TOO COMMON
Absurd Failing Which Seems to Have
Remarkable Hold on Majority
of Mankind.

Americans. like most other people,
are disposed to do moderate amount
of hero worshiping. One phase of it,
says the Kansas City Star, is the re-
spectful hearing given on all subjects
to a man who has made success in
some one line. If man is highly sue
cessful in manufacturing tooth
about art and science.
There is Smith," we say. HE is
a phenomenal maker of socks. He
can turn them out at the rate of 10,-
900 pairs a minute. He is getting rich
by his ability to make socks SO rap
idly without dropping stitches in
them. Besides, it is said the socks
really wear we'll. That being the case,
what do you suppose he thinks about
the ethics of that Chicago baby case.
Let us get his opinion as to the de-
STABILITY of encouraging the modern
schools Of art We surely must ask
him what to do about typhoid vacci-
nation. When does he think the war
will end?"
OF course, Smith may never have
given any attention to these subjects.
He may have been so busy perfecting
the machine for speeding up without
dropping stitches that he may have
no ideas whatever on the European
war or the Immortality of the soul OF
the higher criticism of the Bible OF
the advisability of masticating ones
food thoroughly, or the relative ad
vantages of Corot and Troyon as paint
| ers.
Still, we write him letters and ask
him his views. Unless he is a very
remarkable man he takes the ques
tions seriously, is immensely fattered
by them, and by and by comes tt
think that having been successful il
making socks he must be equally sue
cessful in every other line of human
endeavor
OF course, if he falls for this sor
of thing, in time he is bound to max,
some perfectly fool statement. Whel
he does this, we are all as likely a
not to turn and rend him for beini
an ass, when the original trouble wa
with those of us who insisted on hi
qualifying as an expert on subject
that he knew nothing about.

Talk Costs S54, Tip $1O.

Spending money is part Of the
life of Barney Oldtield, motor speed
king. The great racing driver does
not hesitate to satiate his desires,
whatever they may be. He has been
a guest at the Hotel Muehlebach for
three days and has been away from
his wife and his home in Los Angeles
just a week. Sitting in his room at
the hotel the great racing driver got
into conversation with his wife by
long-d1stance telephone. He talked
to her eleven minutes and paid $54.96
for the privilege of the conversation
The odd cent is war tax.
Oldfeld is liberal with tips, too
Miss Ann Gaffney, the operator who
handled the call for him, will attest tC
that fact. After the conversation with
his wife, the daredevil driver sent g
$40 bill to the operator.-Kansas City
