it is an education campaign for
safety of far reaching results. The
bureau grew out of the canvass of

developed the fact that IS per cent of
them were due to Carelessness. 1t has
undoubted merit because small acCi-

Corrected His Lawyer.

James Engle, former judge of the
Randolph county circuit court, was
once called on to defend, at Winches-
ter, the owner of lemon patch who
had shot an invader. The only pos
slble defense for the prisoner was self
defense. The trial had proceeded TO
the point where the defendant was on
the stand and was being questioned on
direct examination by Engle.
"NOw, SAM" said Engle, "you say
you shot in self-defense. Just tell the
jury all about it in your own way"
mo, sir, jim" said the witness.
"You got that wrong. l didn't say
that. 1t was just like l told you in

over the fence. ce."-IndianapOlis News.

sary to proper control in the crowded
city streets.
In discussing the plan the secretary
of the Commercial Club says:
The advantages of the plan are !:
First, that it effects a continuous sys-
TEN and is always up-to-date; second,
that the reports have a touch of per-
sonal protest to the city or county
authorities; third, that they show
which roads are perpetually bad and
indicate on which ones the club should
concentrate its efforts; and finally, the
plan serves as a check upon the au-
thorities whose duty it is to keep the
roads repaired, because unless the
road is repaired after being reported,
the cards will continue to como in,
calling attention to that place.
This, or a similar plan would not
be out of the way to try here in st.
Joseph where careless drivers nearly
every day cause accidents which
could be prevented

a paragraph stating that some victim
Of shell shock has suddenly recovered

methods is curious, the London OBJ
server observes. Here are a few:
l. Grew excited over a game Of

2. Fell downstairs.
3. Had a tooth pulled out at the
dentist's-wlthout anesthetic.
4. Choked through inhaling cigarette

5. Underwent fiashlight photo

9. Put the wrong end of a lighted

SYNOPSIS

Mr.. Biithers. multimillionairs, discusses
with his wife the possibilities of marrying
of his daughter. Maud Applegate, to the
Prince OF Graustark. who il visiting Mr..
and Mrs. Truxton King In America in an.
ticipation of getting some one to take up
the loan Russia holds Mr.. Scoville is
attentive to Maud.
Prince Robin is accompanied oy Count
Quinnox. minister Of war; Lieutenant
Dank and Hobbs. the valet. The prince
had baked at matrimonial alliance with
the Princess Of Dawsbergen. both OF them
wishing to choose for themselves Mr.
Blithers visits the Kings unlimited.
Mr.. Blithers discusses the Russian ,oay,
and gently hints at $50 10000 his daughter
will get when she marries the right man
Bankers suddenly refuse to handle the

meeting with Blithers King suspects him
of blocking the deal

prince. He just called upstairs to me-"
What does he say?"
1T was really nothing. He was
asking about Hobbs
Hobbs? Tell him, please, that If
he has any friends he would like to
have invited we shall be only too
proud to-
"Oh, thank you! I'll tell him."
"Well, perhaps Maud and may run
in and see you for a few minutes to-
morrow or next day, just to talk
things over a little-what's that,
Maud? beg your pardon. Mrs. King.
Ahem! Well, I'll call you up tomor-
row, if you don't mind being both
cred about n silly old ball. Goodby."
Mrs. King confronted Robin in the
lower hall a few seconds later and
roundly berated him for shouting UP
the steps that Hobbs ought to be in
vited to the ball. Prince Robin rolled
on a couch and roared with delight.
Lieutenant Dank, as became an Of
ficer of the Royal guard, stood at at
tention-in the bow window with his
back to the room, very red about the
ears and rigid to the bursting point.
81 suppose, however. we'll have to
keep on the good side of the Blithers
syndicate" said Robin soberly, after
his mirth had subsidized before her
wrath. "Good Lord, Aunt Lorraine, !
simply cannot go up there and stand
in line like freak in side show for
all the ladies and girls to cape at.
I'll get sick the day Of the party,
that's what I'll do. and you can tell
'em how desolated am over my mis-
fortune"
"They've got their eyes on you,
Bobby" she said fatty. "You can't
escape so easily as all that. If you're
not very. very careful they'll have
you married to the charming Miss
Maud before you can say Jack Rab-
bit"
Think so? Is she good looking?"
We'll, ! would consider her to be
very good looking girl"
"Blonde?"
"Mixed. Light brown hair and very
dark eyes and lashes. A little taller
than I, more graceful and splendid
horsewoman. I've seen her riding"
"Astride?"
NO, rye seen her in a ball gown
too. Most men think she's stunning"
We'll, let's have game of billiards."
said be, ,iismissing Maud in way that
would have caused the proud Mr.. Blith-
ers to reel with Indignation.
A little later on, at the billiard
table, Mrs. King remarked, apropos
of nothing and quite out of a clear
sky, so to speak:
"And she'll do anything her parents
command her to do; that's the worst
of it. If they order her to marry
title she'll do it. That's the way she's
been brought up. I'm afraid"
The next day Count Quinnox and
King returned from the city, coming
up in a privateScar with Mr.. Blithers
himself.
T'u have Maud drive me over this
afternoon" said Mr.. Blithers as they
parted at the station.
/ But Maud did not drive him over
that afternoon. The pride, Joy and
hope of the Blithers family fatty re-
! fused to be a party to any such ar
