LONGEST Beard in History.

The longest beard referred to in
European history is that which
adorned the person of John Mayo
painter to Emperor Charles V. 1t is
said of him that though he was very
tall his beard was so long that he
could tread upon it. Naturally he was
very proud of his possession. and took
such great care of it that he usually
went about with it carefully gathered
up in festoons, the points of the hair
being looped up and tied with ribbon
To a buttonhole of his coat But some
times. by the express desire or the
emperor. Mayo would unite his beard
10 its full length, whereupon his mai
esty would command the windows to
he opened so that the beard might
have full play. The emperor, we
are informed, took great sport in
watching the wind blow this long
heard in the faces of his courtiers.'

FINE LITTLE DUCK STORY
However, 1t Sounds Too Much Like
Fish Story-But Here
Ii Is.

"Jim Jacobs had quite an exciting
experience while hunting ducks. He
had made repeated attempts to get
in range of a big flock that had set
tied on his pond, but each time the
ducks would fly before he got in shoot
ing distance. AS soon as he would
leave the ducks would return.
Finally Jim threw his old muzzle-
loader away and gathered about a
dozen big pumpkins and set them
afloat on his pond. After the ducks
had got used to the pumpkins, Jim
followed out one, with eyes like a
jack-o-lantern, and slipped it over his
head. Then he waded out in the pond
up to his neck and when the flock
was all punched up he got out among
the ducks and caught them by the
feet.
The plan worked all right, but Jim
was too greedy and kept catching
them until he suddenly felt himself
rising out of the water, and was ter
rified when he found that he was
being rapidly carried away by the
frightened mallards. He didn't dare
let go for fear of falling, and every
second he was being raised higher
above the earth.
Finally a bright idea occurred to
him and he began to release the ducks,
one by one, until he got too heavy, and
they gradually settled down. He still
had enough ducks that when he
dressed them there was meat to last
him and his family all winter. Cher

MAN MUST PAY IN THE END
Social Law Exacts Living Wage From
Communities After AlI-Condi-
tions in New York.

1t has been estimated by social sci
entists that $840 a year is the lowest
income on which family of five can
live in decency in New York. The
wages paid by New York city to labor
ers is $3.50 year This is $3.50 below
the mark. But is it $3.50 saved? 1t
is not, declares Detroit Free Press.
There is a law, a natural social law,
that when society refuses to pay the
price of decency and justice, it pays
the price of indecency and injustice
and the latter is the heavier price.
Take the case of New York. The
worker who earns $3.50 less than liv-
ing wage still lives, but he takes the
difference-and more-out of the COM
munity. When his children are sick
the public doctor attends them. When
the child is injured, public hospital
cares for it at public expense. When
work is not to be had public funds buy
| the family it's bread and fuel
When the moral fruits of such life
manifest themselves in crime, society
pays the policeman and supports the
penitentiary by which legal expiation
is made. And when the wretched
parents die, society pays for the tu-
nerals and supports the orphans. This
is not to mention the moral and physi-
| cal menace to the community which
such an uncared-for family may be-
come.
! Count these public charities" and it
becomes clear that the $3.50 which New
York saves on each of the laborers is
taken out of New York city's treasury
and orderliness and health-and more,
too.
Laws of society are like any other
laws of the material universe; they are
inviolable Society cannot break them,
but society can bruise itself against
them. And that is what society has
been doing. With this consolation,
however, that every bruise society in
ficts upon itself awakens its intelli-
gence and concern in that particular
direction.

Strange Craft on the Tigris.
Strangest of all the kinds of float
ing equipment is the kelek, seen On
the Tigris. The kelek is probably one
Of the earliest forms of water trans
portation used by our ancestors in
Asia. 1t consists of goatskins inflated
with air, tied beneath a framework of
light poles. Often as many as 500 such
skins are used to give the boat the
desired buoyancy
The cargo is loaded onto the kelek
just as though it were a f1at-bottomed
barge, after which the craft begins it's
journey down the Tigris or the Eu-
pirates propelled or guided by oars.
When it reaches its journeys end it is
broken up and sold as skins and tim
Der.
The two great rivers of Mesopo-
tamia are very crooked and very irreg-
ular in their depths. The airline dis
lance between Diarbekir and Bagdad
is 400 miles, while the water route via
the Tigris is about 1000 miles. At
many places the river is deep enough
to accommodate boats Of considerable
draft, but at others it is SO shallow
| that a man has difficulty in swimming.
But even over shadows where man
cannot go as a swimmer, a well-laden
kelek will float without accident. For
thousands of years this buoyant boat
has helped the people of Mesopotamia
| to move their commerce over the
shoals and shadows of two Of the
earth's modest rivers.
