Trick of a Collector.

Collectors are-in short, they are col
lectors. 1t was q dealer in antiques not
long ago who was, or professed to be,
In search of new quarters. He inspect
ed an oldtime mansion fallen upon evil
days. In one room was a carved mar
BILE mantel, an imported piece, and he
opened negotiations to lease the room
which contained it. The lease signed,
he told the landlord that he desired
new mantelpiece put in in place Of the
old one. The landlord, of course, de-
INJURED.
III you don't want to put in new
mantelpiece will at my own expense"
replied the collector.
That satisfied the landlord.
The fine marble mantelpiece was &C
cordingly replaced by cheap and
snowy horror and the carved antique
carefully taken down and carted to the
collectors shop, set up there to ad-
mirable advantage and eventually sold
to somebody who could afford to PAY
the very stiff price asked for it. As fol
the room with its new chimney decora
ton, the collector cannily contrived to
sublet it.-New York Post.

kina SSranq's Rise and Fall.


A kingdom was once set up on Bea'
yer island, in northern Lake Michigan,
and f1ourished for some years. James
Jesse Strang. prominent Mormon,
had quarreled with the leaders of his
church and in 1916 withdrew with a
few followers to that island. Other
Mormons joined the colony from time
to time, and by the winter Of 1913 they
were sufficiently numerous to threaten
control Of the island. On July 8. 1850,
Strang was crowned king with elabo-
rate ceremonies. There was much con.
troversy between the Mormons and
the other inhabitants of the island
mostly fishermen. While on a visit to
Detroit President Fillmore heard OF
this little kingdom within the domain
Of the United States. He sent an armed
vessel to Beaver island, and King
Strang was captured and tried for trea.
son. He conducted his own defense
and made such an eloquent plea that
he was acquitted. In 1856 he was as
sassinated, and his kingdom fell with

No lnvulnerable Forts.

1t will continue to be physically pos
sible no doubt to build fort so strong
that no shell could penetrate it, wheth-
er fired directly at high angles or to
fall upon it vertically from the clouds.
1t would require merely to calculate
the force of explosives and the resist
ance of steel and concrete and make
the steel and concrete thick enough.
But it may have ceased to be worth
while. A fort would still be vulnera-
BILE from below ground. Its foundation
could not be laid so deep that an en-
envy might not drive a tunnel under it,
and then it would be necessary only to
put enough high explosive there to
blow the fort away. So perhaps in the
future military strategy will adjust 1t.
self to the idea that Notifications cam
not be permanent, wherefore they had
better be even more impermanent,
serving only as temporary bulwarks
against an oncoming enemy.-New York

PUTS IT UP TO
SENATOR Smith
Answer From Billie Harrington Puts
The Senator to Thinking.

State House, Annapolis, Jan. L.
Billie Harrington, the four-year-old
son of the new Governor, was on the
job all day, learning all about his new
home. He was particularly interest
ed in the soldiers and kept still while
they were marching by the State
House.
On his way to Annapolis, Senator
John Walter Smith asked Billie:
"Are you the boss now?"
No." replied the cute youngster,
"you are the boss"
HE has got my goat" was the
Senator's comment.
The retiring Governor and the in
coming Governor wore tall hats.
They also wore cutaway coats. The
tall hat was not monopolized by
Messrs. Goldsborough and Harring-
ton. There was a brigade of gentle
men who wore tall hats. Among them
were Senator John Walter Smith,
Frank A. Furst, Col. Jacob WILCOX,
Walter dec. Poultney, A. G. Richie,
Robert P. Graham, Judge Myer J.
Block, Col. Raj Parr and John F.
Leonard.
Mrs. Harrington was attired in a
brown velvet suit, with hat to match.
Miss Harrington, who is yet in her
early teens, and hence in short
dresses, wore blue cloth suit. Lit
tie Billie, the baby in the Harring-
ton household, was proud of his
blouse and trousers.

PRIMARY BALLOT
No CONFLICT IN TERMS OF PltI-
MARY AMENDMENT.

Pierre, Feb. 21.-It is found upon
closer study of the recently enacted
primary law amendments, that there
is really no conflict, as was at first
supposed, in the provisions for form
of ballot on presidential electors, and
they will go on the ballot as indiyid-
uals under the e act.
Each candidate for delegate 10 the
national convention must stand on
his own merits under his preference
among the list of presidential candl-
dates filed, and there will be no
grouping under a motto. Confusion
had arisen in reading the statute
newly enacted, because OF indefinite
terms and references to sections or
the old act. which were taken TO
mean the new act, inasmuch as the
new act constantly refers TO provls-
ions of this act" which would lead a
casual reader to conclude the refer
ence was to the new act, and in that
way confusion arose over provisions.
The secretary of state is preparing
the form for the new ballots and un-
der the new amendment they Will be
different than any before because the
old provision in regard to delegates
to national conventions in a group
under a heading at the bottom OF the
ballot will be stricken out entirely.
Now, at the head of the ballot is in
serted: First, the name of candi-
dates for president; second, the dele
gates to national convention; third,
place for candidate for vice president.
Following these three spaces, the old
form Of ballot will obtain.
