,"JsT QUESTION OF SPELLING
Mr.. WinkIe cravat Has One Brilliant

though she had allowed Wrinkle Crayat
to call that afternoon. she was treut-
ing him quite distantly, for she had
an idea that young men recetling chinS
and cigarettes were not good enough
for her.
Just rs the only thing Wrinkle Cravat
could think Of to say seemed to be
something about going, he had II bril-
liant idea.
"Do you know, Miss Stimllins-haw
do you know, think the English
way of spelling parlour, Our, YOU

Why Buffalo Disappeared.

In German East Africa the giraffes
damage telegraph systems by rubbing
their long necks against the wires.
This sort of thing Is not new. When
the first overland telegraph was car
ried across the American continent TO
San Francisco the buffaloes, which
then swarmed in countless herds on
the plains of Kansas and eastern
Colorado. used to rub their shaggy
hides against these poles with such
vigor and zest as to push them down
almost as fast as they We're put up.
In order to discourage them the poles
were studded with six-inch iron spikes,
the pointed ends outward. The result.
however. did not come up to expectn-
tions. The buffaloes apparently con-
sidered the spikes an added luxury
and INDUCED in perfect orgy of
scratching. Eventually armed guards
We're set to patrol the 800 miles Of
track running through the buffalo
country. and In the course of n single
year more than 225,O0O animals were
shot.

Tauore to Women.

When you have lost the power of in.
terest in things that nre common. then
leisure frightens you with its empti-
ness because. your natural sensibili-
ties being deadened. there rs nothing
In your surroundings to occupy atten-
tion. Therefore you keep yourselves
frantically busy, not In utilizing the
time but merely In filling 1t up.
Our everyday world Is like a reed ;
its true value is not in itself; but
those who have the power and the Sc
renity of attention can hear the music
which the Infinite plays through its
very emptiness. But when you form
the habit of vnluing the things for
themselves. then they are expected
furiously to storm your mind, to decoy
your soul from her love-tryst of the
eternal, and to make You try to smoth-
er the voice OF the Infinite by the un-
meaning rattle of ceaseless movement.

FAMOUS TREADWELL MINE

A mcst unusual disaster has appar-

mire has become, one might say, an

Ala ska -Treadwell has been worked to
great depth below sea level, and it
would probably require years. If such

wisdom, to open working chambers

nation and cyanioing mill, has the
