ENTIRELY TOO FAMILIAR.
The Man Intended to Be Polite, but He
Courted Disaster.


1t was considered surprising that the
wife Of the man who was putting up
the new palace should have asked for
a new foreman. But she did, and it
was no more than the duty of the
architects to obey. SO new superin
tendent reported the next morning.
One of the architects had the cour
age to ask the august lady what had
happened, since the former superin-
tendent of the job, which was easily
the most important the firm had, wa,
known to be polite and courteous al
ways. 1t seemed, according to til,
lady, that he had been familiar
'Familiar!' repeated his employer il
frankly expressed astonishment.
There was no further explanation
offered, so it was to the offending su-
perintendent that his employer turned
"All l can think Of" the superin
tendent said, lis the fact that asked
how the children We're. Word cane
down one morning that Mrs. X could
not see me because the children were
i'll. When she did appear the next
day all said was / hoped the children
were better. l guess from the way
she froze up it must have been that
And later investigation showed THAI
the lese majesty had consisted in just
that inquiry after the children.-Ne1

Odd Miranda pscoration

a well knoWn hotel in Marblehead.
Mass, has large brass dial set in the
floor of one Of its velandas, On which
are indicated the points of the com
pass and also the directions in which
several important cities lie and their
distance away. 1t shows, for example,
that Montreal lies to the northeast ap-
proximately $40 miles away, that Lon.
don is almost due east 3,7S5 miles dis
tant and that 942 miles to the south
east is Bermuda. This unusual decora-

INDIAN INDIA.
The Part Ruled by Natives In Their
Own Richt and Names,

Own Right and Names.
The notion prevails in the United
States that all India belongs to the
British and is administered by them.
This Is an utterly erroneous idea.' A
very large and populous portion of the
peninsula is in the possession Of it's own
people, and is ruled by them, with
little or no interference from the Brit
ish. l have coined the term Indian
India" to differentiate between the In
dia belonging to Indians and that in
the possession of the British.
Indian India, with its area of $4,000
square miles, is almost one-third as
large as continental United States. Its
population, 7S,000,0O0 persons, is lit
tie less than four-fifths that of this
country. Politically British India is
united. 1t is divided into three presi-
dencies and twelve provinces, which
are under the supreme government of
India presided over by the viceroy and
governor general, who is under the sec
retary of state for India--a member of
the British cabinet. Indian India, or
the contrary. is not one political entity.
During recent years / have had the
privilege of coming in close contact
with several Indians who rule in their
own right and name, and have watch
ed their public and private lives. With
out single exception l have found the
Indian rulers to be men of great ad-
ministrative capacity and statesman
ship, all devoted to the welfare OF their
subjects and interested in all sorts Of
reform movements. Not many public
servants or business men in America or
elsewhere work so hard or SO ullselfish-
ly as do these Indian potentates.-St.
Nihal Singh in Southern Workman.

TO USE WIRELESS PHONE.
Scientists Say It's Practical, and Even
AeropIanes May Converse.

Observation-Disclosures with wire
less telephony have proved its practi-
cal value to such an extent that it will
be used by the navy in its war opera
tons along with wireless telegraphy
A statement issued by the public in
formation committee says that eng.
neers and scientists working with off,
cials of the navy in developing the
wireless telephone have made "impor-
tant progress" but does not go into de-
tails.
The National Research Council and
the Naval Consulting Board have de-
voted much attention to the subject,
working on telephone communication
with airplanes, new wireless methods
and apparatus for detecting the pres
ence of submarines.

FIND NEW STACKER GAME.
Federal Agents Believe Farmers"
Ought Not to Be Employed.


New York.-A new Stacker ruse
was found when it was learned that
federal agents have recently been ip
vestigating the payrolls of a numbe.
of farmers of Newtown, Flushing anf
Great Neck, n. Y. Certain farm haE<t
are wanted who are supposed to re-
ceive Sc week for playing golf and
tennis and living on the farm.
The farmers, it is said, have received
compensation for "employing" young
sons of the rich Long Island set, who
believed that by registering as farr~
ers they could escape conscriptdh
The farmers, it is believed, have r.
certain cases given away their own
game, for they got tired of ''the young
swells who didn't know the difference
between a grub hook and cultivator"
and began to talk about their employ
ers."

CORNELL MEN URGED TO WAR.
Character VIII Count, Pastor Says In
Baccaiaureate.

Ithaca, n. Y.-"The nearer you come
to the firing line the more will your
character count said the Rev. Charles
Whitney Gilkey in Cornell's annual
baccalaureate sermon. DR.. Gilkey was
clad in his suit of khaki. having come
here from Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, where he
is chaplain of the training camp. Only
One-third of the university's senior
class attended, the others being en-
gagged in the war service.
DR.. Gilkey said that the youths nov
in training camps had been moved to
do their bit because every one else was
doing his, that they had been quick to
act because their nation called and
that they would only find their real
aim in this war after they had crossed
the ocean.

To Wash Blankets,

Put a pint of household ammonia
and pint of warm water in a tub,
lay the blanket in and pour a little
warm water over it-just enough to
wet the top folds. Cover closely and
allow the blanket to stand for few
moments, that the fumes arising from
tue ammonia may loosen the dirt, then
wash and dry it in the ordinary way in
water Of the same temperature as the
first used. Pass the blanket lightly
through the wringer and hang it out to

Valley City Courier: The House Of
Representatives at Bismarck do very
funny things. A bill was before the
legislature cutting down the pas
senger rate in this state on railroads
which show a profit of $1,000 per mile
and all the roads in the state show
that profit, but the house deliberately
killed the bill. This is something
that would have benefited all the
but the lawmakers could not
see it that way. Have the railroads
fixed the house, and if so, how? The
reason given by some of the brilliant
elected to the legislature is
that freight rates are too high and If
they passed this lower passenger rate
bill it would raise these rates still
higher. A poor excus is better than
none. Are the people generallyg get
ting a square deal, we would ike8Sfto
ask?

CURING HAM N BACON

The most delicious hams and bacon
can be produced on the farm. The
curing and smoking is easily done.
First, rub each ham and piece of
bacon with fine salt. Next, place in,
a barrel or earthen ware crock and
pour over it the following brine: salt,
8 pounds, brown sugar, 2 pounds, and
saltpeter 2 ounces; dissolve in a gall
Ions Of boiling water. When cool pour
over the hams and bacon This
amount should be enough to cover 100
pounds Of meat. Bacon should be left
IN the sbrine four to six weeks and
hams six to eight weeks, then smoke.
If a smoke house is not available, one
can usually be improvised. Maple
wood is considered the best fuel;,
hardwood is better than soft wood.
Corn cobs r very good, a slow;
.smoldering fire is the best. If a
steady fire is kept up two days will
suffice, if a fire is built every day it
will take a week and with fire every
other day, it take two weeks. Smoke
will not penetrate frozen meat and it
enters the meat slower if it is cold
