HELPED THE DESERVING MAN
New Yorker Spared Few Moments
TO Put a Compliment Where
1t Did Good.

The Woman's Home Companion
prints an editorial about a man who
wrote a letter praising young rail-,
road man. It says:
"a busy New York man returned
last summer from his country home
The station agent in that little coun-
try town had been particularly help
full to him, in caring for his trunks and
arranging for the comfort Of his
family"
"The New York man was grateful to
the station agent. He told him so.l
He wondered, as he rode along, what,
chance the young fellow had in that
country station. Would any officer Of.
the road ever pass that way? Would
the lads willingness and efficiency
ever gain him a reward?
'When he reached his office he
wrote a letter to the president of that
railroad. 4 want to congratulate you.
on the young man who represents you
at Smithton, he said, he is courteous
and Intelligent, and the good viii that
he secures for your road in that sec
ton is worth real money to you. He
is a young chap worth watching .
"A little thing it was. The cost was
only a few minutes of a stenographer's5
time and a two-cent stamp. Yet that
letter stood out like a diamond on the
presidents desk amid the bundle Of
querulous complaints. 1t frightened
the day in that big office. 1t may have
changed the whole career of the young
chap in the country depot" ~

DEBT MANKIND OWES CHINA
Celestial Kingdom Gave Us the Sue
cuIent and NourishiAg Buckwheat
Cake, Says Writer.

If mankind lives up to the injunc-
ton, "Render unto Caesar the things
that are Caesars" then mankind owes
a huge debt to central China. 1t gave
us the buckwheat cake" remarks
Girard in the Philadelphia Ledger.
Flour mills often print the picture
of an American male deer upon the
paper sack containing buckwheat -four,
but the buck has nothing to do with
the name of buckwheat.
Buckwheat was originally "Buch-
Weizen," German for beechwheat, be-
cause the shape of a buckwheat grain is
triangular and it resembles exactly the
beechnut, but is a little smaller. Indeed,
the botanical name of the two is iden-
"fOgopyrum.'
Russians were eating buckwheat
cakes centuries before America was
discovered. It is still a soldiers IA
ton in the realm of the czar, but it is
baked with tallow oil or butter.
The Hindu eats buckwheat cakes on
fast days, although a Christian
wouldn't regard it as much of a fast
-feastiug on buckwheat cakes-un-
less they were the usual sweet and
Ieathery commodity peddled in restau-
rants under a false name.

Great EnaIish Monarch.

For years King Alfred wawad
against the Danes, often defeated, but
never failing in courage, not. even
when driven into the marshes or
when he was forced to pay blackmail
to buy peace. From his first years
upon the throne he worked to build q
navy that should wrest from the Danes
the mastery of the seas. At last he
succeeded, and the heritage that he
left to his countrymen has time and
again preserved the British isles from
invaders.
The Danes were able to hold pos
session in the middle of England, but
Alfred's victories made the English of
other hostile kingdoms hail him as
their leader. When he died England
had for the first time grown into
united land, despite the conquests Of
the Vikings.

Why Veins Look Blue.

1t is a peculiar fact that the veins
on the hand or other surface portions
of the body look blue to the eye, where
as the blood is red. This is because
we see the light reflected back to our

of the veins, which give it a blush

Copenhagen, Jan. 4.-Members Of
the Ford peace party no longer will be
able to charge unlimited accounts for
drinks to Henry Ford, and have him
meet the bills. Orders to this effect
were passed to the delegates yester-
day.
Several women delegates who
bought clothes from Copenhagen mo-
distes and charged them to the party's
account also were notified to settle
from their own purses.
The peace party has been getting
passports vised by Count Brockdorff-
Ranszau, the German minister to Den
mark, for the rail trip thru Germany
to The Hague.
This trip is to be taken entirely
without official sanction from the
United States government, and the
delegates are practically the guests of
the German government.
Many members of the party asked
Mr.. Plaintiff, Ford's manager, to give
them themoney equivalent instead Of
first class passage to Rotterdam, but
they got only flat refusal.

The alarm was immes6 lately given and
the fire extinguished before much

the Office had been set afre. It look
ed as though the hole had been bored

received an unsigned letter thru the
mail warning him to remain silent and
not investigate the origin of the fire
or they would "get Him next" A fur
ther Investigation is being made to find
the guilty party oraparties. The fire
that destroyed the Atkinson building
and damaged the News office last
September started In mysterious
way and it looks now as though

The wind was from the north and If

WILLIAM HAS
CANCER Of
TIL THE THROAT

Paris, Jan. 4.-The Martin afirms
notwithstanding denial, that the Ger
man Emperor is suffering from can
Ger of the throat and is no longer able
to speak:
<In February, 1911," according to
the Martin, "the doctors were con-
isidering whether it was necessary to
remove the entire larynx in order to
stay the progress of the disease. They
raised the question as to whether the
Emperor would be able to speak if
such an operation were performed
The leading specialists of every capi-
tai in Europe were consulted.
Meanwhile as a result of minor
operation with a bistoury and a few
weeks absolute rest the Emperor's
condition improved as is often the
case in this disease, the progress OF
which is implicable, but slow. It is
another operation of this kind which
has just been performed. But it is
oily palliative. The German Emperor
must either make up his mind to com.
plete removal Of the larynx or be
stifled by the growth.
This explains why the Empero,
went neither to Warsaw, CONSTANT.
nople or Brussels.
