PORyIA OF THE PINES

Portia of the Pines is what they
are calling DR.. Annette Abbott Adams,

the California district, who gained

two other Germans for conspiracy TO
violate the neutrality Of the United
States.

vile, Plumas county, Cal. She learned
her three RS in a mountain school

WEBB'S EARLY DAYS

When Edward Yates Webb of
North Carolina, chairman of the house
judiciary committee, had made his way
through college and law school he
found himself, at the age of twenty
one, some 5000 in debt.
Seeing that he was in debt and
without clients, Webb at once went
about getting himself engaged to be
married. There was a pretty girl, the
daughter of a professor at the little
college he had attended, who had been
willing to listen attentively when
Webb talked about himself and his
ambitions, and so, of course, there
was nothing to it. The girls mother
asked Webb how he proposed to sup
port a wife inasmuch as he was
clientless attorney.
"Oh,' says he, bravely humping
his chest, ''I'll go out and hoe corn if
necessary"
That seemed to cheer up the moth
err q good deal and she consented to

His Epitaph.

A recent automobile accident in an
upstate county resulted in the death
OF the driver and the injury of two
passengers.
The coroner summoned several wit
nesses, among them a farmer living
near the scene of the accident. There
was voluminous testimony regarding
the high speed at which the car trav-
eled. Witnesses said, too, that the
road was in bad repair. The coroner
finally reached the farmer who lived
near the scene.
what would you say about this ac-
cEdent, Mr.. Swiggett?" the coroner
asked.
"Well, If l was writin' that young

REAR ADMIRAL SIMS

Rear Admiral William S. Sims,
U. S. n. slated to succeed Rear Adj
miral knight as head Of the naval war
college at Newport, has a knack of
always being where things are hap
pening, usually things intensely dis
tressing to a bureaucratic administra-
ton. His career, in this regard,
started while on the China station.
Taking his duties very seriously, he
became obsessed with the idea that
there was something radically wrong
with gunnery in the navy. He took
the matter up with his superiors and
was snubbed, With the department and
was ignored Finally he wrote directly
to Theodore Roosevelt, who was then
in the White House. The colonel
cabled for him to come home and he
started at once not knowing whether
he was to be commended or cashiered
for stepping over his superiors'
heads.
The colonel made him his naval
years, anG stimulated by the presidents

A few days ago boat bound for an

Conscrinted for Golf.

It seems that a form of conscription
is now applied to golf. A writer at
one of our training camps states that
the officers in one of the main centers
of the Royal flying corps have been
literally ordered to the links, one day
in each week. One of the courses in
the vicinity is quite crowded with
khaki, and the players have begun to
find the fascination of the game and
its value in making them fit.-Golfng.

During recent illness of Senator

Smith of South Carolina, as the next
ranking member of the committee on
agriculture, to handle the appropria-

dignified way out Of Smith. because
even an uniformed senator could see
that he didn't know a blessed thing
about the bill he was trying to man

Mr.. Jones asked how long it had
been since special appropriations had
been made for the study of corn i'm

Washington.-The United States

no shadow OF doubt. Forty-five Ger.

destroyer has laid tow line aboard a
prize, only to have the prize wrested
from her and sunk by the German
crew.

vitality stricken, her horizontal rud-
der smashed, she surged gaping to the
surface. And there keen Yankee eyes
and straight-aimed Yankee shells
found her, smashed her and sent the
white flag of surrender fluttering to
the stubby mast above her coming
tower.
Crestfallen German sailors climbed
out OF the open matches, last the cap

their hands above the heads, and on
the instant the American fire was
withheld.
There was no "spurlos versenkt"
here There was no repetition Of the
horrors of the Belgian Prince. One Of
the American destroyers, careless Of
whether another U-boat was lurking
near ranged alongside and under the
ancient code of the sea, sought to
save those who were but now her NOR

Then in this situation, however.
Germans brok the law. With the flag
of surrender flying, with her crew up
handed on the deck, some one was
told off below to open the submerging
valves. Hardly had tow line been
made secure to the submarines deck
when she began to settle. The quick.
regular settling meant the tanks were
being filled. She sank and with her
