Humorous Anecdote.

very amusing anecdote is related
OF an Irishman, or Hibernian, who had
only recently arrived in this country
from the 'Ould Sodd." 1t seems that
in company with fashionable relatives,
who had acquired social aspirations
with their new wealth, he went to a
fashionable dinner. where he was in
troduced as a very interesting, If rather
eccentric, poet whose work had been
an important influence in the rebirth
Of Celtic literature.
Very naturally he was the lion of
the evening. In the course of after
dinner conversation the topic of UNI
brella handles was preached and a
charming young lady expressed an
noyance that she had recently been
unable to select handle to please her.
Turning to the Hibernian, she asked
him archly if he could not pick a
handle.
NO, begOhs and begorra," said Pat,
convnlsing one and all with his inim-
liable Irish drollery, but | can handle
n pick Watch this space for an
other humorous anecdote to be printed
soon, with negro dialect.)

ance companies today began an inspec-
ton of all Chicago grain elevators,

vent their destruction by fire. They
have the authority Of the state fire

BREAD, FAMINE NOW
THREATENS CHICAGO

Chicago, April 30.--Chicago today
grapplcd Vainly with the bakers strike
and tonight ii appeared that prospects
for an immediate settlement and the
alienation of the threatened bread
famine were remote.
Representatives of the strikers,
whose action has closed Is of the
city's leading bakeries and about 30
smaller ones, with a resultant decease
of about 10000 600 loaves in Chicago's
daily bread supply, and delegation
of employers conferred with Mayor
Thompson. After the conference. it
was announced that there had been no
definite results and both sides asserted
an intention to fight it out. Another
conference with the mayor is scheduled
for tomorrow, however and hope was
expressed that favorable action would
follow.

Exposes Shame, Pretense
and Mistakes Of Kaiser's
Government.
PRESIDENT is PRAISED
Declares America Abandons
Profitable Neutrality for
High Ideals.

Copenhagen, Via London. April 60
Maximillian Harden, the German Ten
FAINT terrible" publishes in the latest
issue of Die Zukunft," another dar-
ingly frank article exposing to German
readers the ''shams, pretences and
Mistakes of their governments
policy.
The article is devoted to the entry
of the United States into the war,
which Herr Harden warns the people
must be taken most seriously, both
from the moral side, as a symptom of
the weakness Of Germany's appeal to
the neutral world, and the failure of
her foreign policy and because of the
physical aspects of the weight that
America will ultimately be able to
throw into the scale He declares,
with a daring to which probably no
other German publicist is equal that
Germanys peace overtures We're put
forward only as Il bridge over which
Germany could pass to relentless sub
marine warfare.
Praises Wilson.
Herr Harden has only words of high
praise for President Wilson and his
policy and reveals in various passa ges
Il sighting opinion of DR.. Alfred Zim-
hermann. which he did not conceal at
the time of Zimmermann's elevation
to ministerial rank.
Another article by Herr Harden
eliminates in an appeal to Germany
to put the interior of her house in
order and introduce democratic con-
ditions, which the writer SAYS is the
only sure basis for future peace.
Denies "DolIar CHASING"
Scarcely less noteworthy than his
scathing criticism of German diplom-
acy (but not that of Count Won Bern
storff. former ambassador to the
United States, whose work he praises)
is Herr Harden's justification of
Americas attitude during the war and
his demolition. for example, of the
favorite pan German arguments that
the United States was inspired solely
by llar-chasing and looked upon
wal ohiy as Il source IOf enormous
profits from munition supplies.
The United States, he declares,
could have continued to amass I'M
measured riches, not from munition
contracts, but as a worlds source of
supply. Instead, he adds, the United
States chose for an ideal to reject a
continuance Of its profitable neutrality
to load itself with a burden of ex-
penditures, which no other country
could safely bear Those who would
profit, Harden tells his readers. can
be sought nearer home, in the ranks
of those wanting to retain Belgium,
the Briye iron district, Courland and
livonia.

That such a song will presently be

and the immortality need be based on
nothing more than popular caprice.

On the
Spur of the
Moment
Il Never Has.

1t Never Has.
The present age is so advanced.
Or so we feel when We have glanced
Through history's pages.
And seen the ways and modes in use,
AS crude and clumsy as the deuce,
In older ages;
It's really rather rich to see
How unbalanced they used to be!
No phones, they never saw flat,
And did they wish a new spring hat
They had to weave it,
No vacuum cleaners or cigars,
No movie shows or motor cars
Would you believe it.
What's more, they seemed to mind
it not
They must have been Il stupid lot!
And yet, OF course, the sorrows. tears,
The joys and smiles of older years,
The days endeavor,
The hopes and fears, we must allow
That then they knew, indeed are now
Though customs may be changing still,
Old Human Nature never will.
