400" PAPER is EXCLUSIVE
Ones Family History Before TAX
ing Subscription Money.

Everv once in a while somebody
does something nobody else ever
thought of doing, and puts it over. All
of which leads us to the Chronicle,
the latest magazine published in New
York, which has been called "of for
and by society,""
The publishers won't admit this
phrase is the proper one to apply to
1t, but the fact has leaked out that
certain persons who sought to become
subscribers were turned down because
their family histories would not stand
the close scrutiny of the social MI
crOsCOpe.
The Chronicle is published monthly,
at the rate of SO year, and is not
on public sale. Just who the hackers
of the project are no one seems to
know. 1t has been said that certain
group of well known women got to-
gether and said isn't it about time
that something be done to kill the idea
that society does nothing but engage
in butterfly balls monkey dinners
all night bathing parties. and the
like? Let's get out q magazine that
will show we have real thoughts and
are doing real things. And let's keep
1t q secret"
And here enters James w. Pennock,
Jr., formerly Of Syracuse, n. Y, q
dapper little man who talks high-brOW-
ish and wears suits, ties and hose of
the same shade of green, brown, vic
let or grey. He is the man YOU arc
referred to when you call at the Chron-
iCle office at Fifth avenue. Eyes, I'm
in charge here" he drawls.
cts immaterial who the publishers
of the Chronicle are" he answers to
the direct question.
ooh, no, 1t would be impossible for
you to see copy. They're for our
subscribers only, and, you know, our
subscribers are invited to subscribe.
Our contributors? Well, they're our
subscribers. That is one of the basic
ideas concerning the Chronicle. The
terms contributors and subscribers are
synonymous"

Donkey Engine Crosses SIouqh.

A donkey engine employed in clear
ing land on the lower Columbia river,
Oregon. made q record for itself by
crossing Il deep slough under its own
steam not long ago, when no scow was
available for its transportation to 4
new setting. The feat is described in
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
slough was 100 feet across. several
feet deep, and had rather steep banks
and soft bottom, but the engine ford
ed it safely, although the water at
one point reached the crown sheet of
the tirebOx. The steam gauge showed
$50 pounds pressure when the engine
was fired up for the trip, and 10
pounds of steam was left when it land
ed on the opposite bank.

American Machinery for Swiss.

Since the beginning of the war Swiss
peasants have paid increased atten-
ton to American agricultural machin-
cry, especially to motor plOws. The
principal drawback to the introduction
of modern American agricultural ma
chinery in Switzerland is that few
farmers own more than five to ten
acres and about five to ten head of
cattle; but recently the larger peas
ant associations have shown an inter-
est in such machinery, and they might
act as purchasers of the machines,
renting them to the farmers. The war
has made unusual demands on the
farmer, because of the lack of labOrers
and horses. This has created Sentf-
ment in favor of the introduction of
motor driven machinery for working
the ground, to avoid 4 serious short
age at the next harvest.

so from the French. The latter ceded
their claim to the Spaniards, who drove
away the English in ITO. Later the
islands were abandoned; Buenos Aires
founded a colony in 1923, but in con-
sequence of a dispute the colony was
destroyed by q United States man-of
war GS3D. Shortly afterward the
British again gained possession, which
continues to the present time, although
it is said that Argentina claims the
islands as her right and lawful pos
session.
Two Large Islands in the Group.
The Falkland group comprises two
large islands, known as East and West
Falkland, respectively, and more than
a hundred smaller ones, with a total
area of nearly 1000 square miles, al
most as large as the state of New
Jersey. East Falkland is the larger
of the two and they are separated by
a narrow strait.
When we sailed into Port Stanley,
the capital of the little colony and the
largest of the twenty or more settle
ments, the usual cloudy weather pre-
vailed; several days of communicating
had been followed by Calmer seas and
the entrance to the small bay, known
as Port William inlet, was a pleasant
diversion. The low, brownish hills,
barren and somber looking, presented
little to attract the business traveller;
yet, to the lover Of nature who de-
lights to wander far from beaten paths
there are always sights to please.
Comparatively few ships make the
port of Stanley other than the coming
of vessels in distress there is not much
traffic with the outside world, and as
Il consequence the arrival of a pas
senger ship is matter Of some inter
est to the people.

largely of Scotch descent they have

WAS BEYOND THE ADVOCATE
Counsel Could Think of No Possible
Reason Why Judge Should Be
on the Bench.

It was one of those tense moments
in a crowded court when the prisoner
fate seemed to depend on the next an
swer of the witness. There was an
expectant hush on all present, when
suddenly the opposing counsel butted
in with a noisy objection based on
some obscure point Of law, says Lon
don Tit-Bits.
For ten minutes or more the pris-
oner was forgotten while judge and
counsel were involved in a tangle of
legal phrases and precedents. Although
the controversy was absolutely unin-
telligible to the crowd present, it was
clear enough to the dullest intelligence
that counsel was more than holding
his own in the argument. This was
also painfully apparent to the judge
himself, who, in a desperate effort to
recover his official dignity, snapped
out:
what does counsel suppose I am
on the bench fOr?'
"Well," said the learned advocate,
slowly and refiectively, 81 must confess

Compliments Of the Day.

Soldiers have to do their own mend
ing, when it Is done at all, and it ap-
pears-although few persons would
have guessed it-that the thoughtful
war office supplies them with outfits
for that purpose. Otherwise, this joke
from the Journal Of the American Med
ical association would be impossible ::
Everything was ready for kit inspec-
ton; the recruits stood lined up ready
for the officer, and the officer had his
bad temper all complete. He marched
up and down the line, grimly eying
each mans bundle of needles and soft
soap, and then he singled out Private
MacTootle as the man who was to re-
ceive his attentions.
Toothbrush" he roared.
Eyes, SIR
"Razor?"
Eyes, sir"
"Hold-all?"
yes, sir"
Him! You're all right, apparently
growled the officer. Then he barked,

ooh, very well, thank you" said the
recruit, amiably; 'how's yours?"

Gettysburq's "Drumflre."

The heaviest battery of artillery
ever mounted in the world up to 1862
was before Yorktown, when the Union
army was maneuvering to enter Rich
mond. 1t consisted of a 500-pounder
and two 200-pounder Parrot rif1ed can,
non. Our greatest artillery stunt
was the Gettysburg cannonade. II
lasted about two hours, on q line OF
battle four to five miles long. We had
$4,000 men and 800 guns; the Confed
crates $4,000 men and 100 guns. There
were $4,000 killed and wounded, a NOR
tally much higher than today.-Every,
