General News Paragraphs

The daily newspapers are GER.
4tainly being pushed to find room.
on their first pages for all the
important news stories which
are breaking" daily, to use a
newspaper expression. With the
Mexican business at an unsatis-
factory standstill, an ultimatum
in the hands Of Germany un-
answered and the usual grist of
sensations, the papers are having
a busy time.
Primary elections throughout
the nation are coming thick and
fast and the results are fantastic
in the extreme. Henry Ford ap-
pears to have given Cummins a
real race in Nebraska, while Bry-
an failed to hold his home state
for himself. One peace advocate
nearly sprung a surprise by win
ming and the other sprung one
by losing his home state.
South Dakota is getting in line
for statewide prohibition this
fall, despite the charge that pro-
hibition does not prohibit. OF
course, neither does hanging stop
the crime of murder. Several
large cities went dry, and many
of the small towns. And what
few cities remain in the wet col
umn have lost the big end Of the
usual wet majority. But, in all
the results, the voting dry of the
German-populated town of Eure-
ka proved the biggest surprise.
The editor of the Eureka North
west Blade couldn't hardly re-.
cover sufficiently to report the.
election, and warned his readers
to look out when they read his
Offering.
One Of the most sensational
criminal cases ever brought to
trial in Minnesota came to a
close last week when ]. w. Brag-.

THE DAILY ADVENTURES OF

Puss in Boots Has Supper with Mr.. Fox

Puss Junior was very glad inueed
to accept the kind invitation of the
fox. He was very hungry and the
prospect of roast duck for supper was
very aIiuring.

duck for me, for I have a big fat
goose"
Mrs. Fox shook hands with Puss
and asked him to sit down and rest
while she cooked the supper. The lit
tie foxes gathered around him and
asked for story.
What kind of a story do you like?"
asked Puss.
"oh, tell them how we got away
from old Mr.. Slipper-Slopper." said Mr..
Fox. Tell them how I crept into the
hen-house and all the rest. II yorN
keep them quiet, my dear Puss Jun

When Mr.. Orme Wilson married Miss
Carrie Astor in New York City thirty
two years ago today the event was SAID
to be "the largest and most magnlncen'
wedding ever celebrated in this city.
According to the prevailing custom
among New York millionaires OF that
time, the wedding took place at O'Clock
in the afternoon in the art gallery ana
ballroom of the Astor home on Firth
avenue. "The walls are covered with
rare paintings" runs a contemporary
description. land pale blue satin divans

posite the folding doors. and below Is

will stand during the ceremony and re-
ception.
The floral decorations are to be very
lovely and costly, no expense being
spared" goes on the effusive description.
THE mirror is to be bardered by maiden
hair ferns, and across It will sweep
long veil made of sprays Of lily OF the
valley. Joined by invisible wires. A great
bow knot, made by, large blush roses,
will loop the curtain to one side and let

the Game of Life which. whether we
like it or not, somehow we must go on
playing to the end of the chapter.
Like unto The First Man, and the ma
jority of other folk, The Second Man also
came to maturity with distinct sense of
disappointment in the yield Of his vine
yard of Life.
He had to admit to himself that singular
hardships had confronted him at every
turn but also, unlike The First Man, he
had sense of humor. so that he was
saved from too serious a view of his own
Importance as a thread In the fabric of
existence.
So 1t came about that The Second Man
was inclined to laugh when Fate slapped
him In the face. Sometimes he was
knocked SO nat that he found himself
quite breathless and dismayed, and won
dered IL the Game Of Life was worth the
playing. but always he remembered that
We have no choice in the matter-that,
whether We will it or not, we must live
cur destined span.
"So," said The Second Man unto him
self. "if play I must, I shall MAKE the
game worth it. I shall stick to rules and
win."
whereupon he conformed to the first
regulation by walking through difff-
culIleS rdtner lnau arounQ tnem.
And he did 1t with spirit so buoyant,
courage SO supreme. faith SO sufficing
that there was never a life he touched
in passing that did not feel as II II had
been refreshed as by some revivifying
shower.
Which was. of course. an important
bylaw.
The name Of the others is legion.
But The Second Man met them square,
ly, and when they buffeted him the hard
est he remembered to laugh, which was
perhaps q fulillment of the most Inn
portant rule Of them all.
And. to his amazement. when he reach
ed the end OF his coursesand looked back
along the way he found that his manner
of meeting them had effaced the hard
ships from the map Of his life.
''Ets because you are made of the sun
shine stun called courage-enough to suf-
fee to the end" commented. The One
Woman.
whereupon The Second Man reached
out caressing hand to her and said
something about love as a clarifier or
vision and an incentive to play The Life
Game squafely. all the way through
to the end.

He had reached the age of mature

ny FRANCES MARSHALL.

Really II seems as n some folk were
much more sensitive as to respiratory or
gans than others. When the windows
are more and more nearly closed as the
days grow colder some of US feel fairly
stified, and look back on early autumn
and forward toward warm spring with
all the longing OF the Gagged animal We
long to breathe freely again The air
that Il enclosed within four walls and
that can be changed only by means OF an
occasional crack In the window seems
unendurable. And then there are other
nice snug folk who fairly revel In the
close. indoor air, that takes on all the
characteristic house odors a. winter ad-
vances.
II you are one of the sensitive-lunged
folk you are also fairly sensitive as to
scents and there Is no doubt to you just
as characteristic fragrance to the air
after the first spring thunder showers,
or the late afternoon clear air after q
cold snow storm. as there is to lilies OF
the valley or musk. NThere II also, no
doubt, to the drawing-room ARA mix
ture of upholstery, leather, overheated
carpets, mustipess and the pent-up sweet
ness of cut flowers. Dining-rooms have
the mingled odors of all the cooking OF
the week past. II there are men who
smoke about, there is always that annoy
ing odor Of stale smoke, so different
from the aroma of the freshly burning
leaves. Drugs and cosmetics, perfumes
and powders go to make up the bed
room odors and from clothes closets and
wardrobes ooze out the scent Of moth
balls and wool. fur and leather shoes.
And all this increases daily when the
windows are closed and nature does not
have a chance to freshen the rooms by
steady flow of fresh, sky-born air.
One way to counteract the stufiiness of
winter without keeping the house you live
in at an impossible low temperature is
to make a practice of opening all the
windows and all the doors at the same
time once every day. This sounds like
an impossibility. but II you select a time
when most every one Is away from
home, a time when on clear days the
sun is bright and when you yourself are
necessarily active. five minutes of this
sort OF airing is better than q half and
half ventilation that might last all day.
The temperature will be reduced alarm
ingly. perhaps, but 1t will soon return to
normal after most OF the windows are
closed again, and there will be the added
warmth that comes from air that is free
from household dampness and stufiiness.
