The Aleck

| saw a young man fired on
January 10; he never will be
hired by his old boss again. When
first he. started in at Watson's
beeswax store he seemed like one
who'd win the laurels by the
score. For he had push and vim,
he was no sluggish poke; he
waved an active limb, and left a
trail of smoke. All this was
passing we'll, but after sundry
moons his head began to swell,
as young heads swell, eftsoons.
He thought the beeswax store
would close if he should quit;
the Old Man was a bore, and he
alone was 1t. Now, when young
man feels that he's the prop OF
trade, that all the plunks and
wheels by his address are made.
he's walking to a fall. his feet
will hit the dump; and when too
late he'll bawl that he was such
a chump. He travels verst and
league, he keeps the pavement
hot, his spirit knows fatigue, his
head has shrunk a lot. He has
no job as yet; he may get one
next week; and when he does,
i'll bet, We'll find him pretty
meek. WALL MASON.

MISS HYDE IS HONORED
FOR FAITHFUL SERVICE
Veteran Treasury Employe Is Com
plimented by Controller in
Notice Of Prosnotion.

Miss Eliza r Hyde. veteran employe of
the Treasury Department, has received a
promotion in rank and pay in recognition
of merit Miss Hyde is eighty-five years
old, has been employed in the office of the
controller of the currency for fifty-two
years and has spent siXtyseven years in
the business world.
The promotion, as announced by Con-
troller Williams, carries with it an in
crease of $500 year in salary. The con-
troller's statement says, in part:
Accurate and Diligent at IS.
Special interest attaches to the fact
that Miss Hyde. who received this pro-
motion, although eighty-five years of age,
and although she has been an employee of
the controllers office for fifty-two years
is regarded as one of the most efficient
accurate and diligent clerks in the Treas
ury Department.
For the past fourteen years she has not
lost a single day on account of sickness
and during the past twenty-seven years
she did not lose day without pay.
Miss Hyde is a native of Vermont and
has been connected continuously with the
controllers office since she was thirty
three years of age Prior to entering the
teacher for about fifteen years so that
her record of useful work covers a con-
tinuous period Of sixty-seven years.
Alert in Mind and Body.
Miss Hyde is still bright and alert in
mind and body. Her mind is stored with
classic poems. which she says she finds
herself able to memorize as we'll now as
in her younger days. She attributes her
health and alertness at her advanced age
largely to a temperate diet, very little
meat and slow eating.
Miss Hyde's example should encourage
and stimulate other employees of the gov
eminent to preserve their mental and
physical powers. for it shows that under
this administration. at any rate, mere age
will not disbar them from promotion in
the service of the Treasury Department y

Kicked Himself to Freedom

Prisoners of war have had many
thrilling adventures in their attempts
to escape across the German frontier.
but it would be hard to find a more re-
markable story than the following, told
in a Dutch paper: -Four British es-
capped prisoners of war, one French
man and seven Russians arrived at
Oldenzaal besides two German desert
ers. An amusing incident took place
in the case of one of the Russians.
He was seized by the German sentry
when in the act of crossing the from
tier, and in the course of the ensuing
struggle threw himself on the ground.
He fell half way on Dutch and hnlf
way on German territory. The Dutch
sentry came to his rescue and tried to
pull him across by the shoulders. The
German pulled at the other end. When
the Russian found that the Dutchman
was helping him he started kicking
with all his might, with the happy re-
suit that he was safely pulled onto
Dutch territory.

Sweeping Away of Lives Was Fright
full, Combatants Themselves
Being MoWn Down.

In the famous Thirty Years war, it
is estimated, the population Of central
and western Europe was reduced from
thirty millions to less than fifteen mil
lions, and yet during the whole of that
time there were only forty important
battles fought. and their total death
casualties did not reach half million.
All the rest of the frightful sweep
ing away of life was from plague and
famine, which not only followed in the
wake of the armies, but moved down
the combatants themselves.
Nor was the deadly work of these
fierce partners of war-the terrible
triple alliance of the prayer book,
plague. pestilence and famine-con-
fined to the civil populations. They
played equal havoc in the ranks of the
armies themselves.
Even as recently as the days of Gus
tavus Adolphus that great captain is
said to have broken up his winter quar-
ters and begun his summer campaign
nearly two months earlier than he had
intended. because at the rate at
which his soldiers were dying from dis
ease in their huts and barracks he
would soon have had no army left to
campaign with.

SING TO SETTLE QUARRELS
Eskimos Have Peculiar Manner of
Adjusting Their Grievances-En-
emy Must Listen.

The Eskimos, who live in the ice
bound, barren Northland, have way
of settling quarrels which seems very
strange and amusing to those who live
in land of policemen and courts of
justice. There, when Quarrels arise,
the man who has a grievance writes
song in which he tells the wrongs that
have been done him. When this has
been composed to his satisfaction, he
invites his enemy to come and hear
him sing it. This the enemy must do,
and he brings with him all his rela-
tives and many of his friends, while
the singer also has gathered his friends
and relatives for the occasion, which
is considered something of a general
entertainment by the people of the vii
lage in which the men live.
Then, while other men of the village
pound madly on huge drums, the song
of wrongs is begun. When it is fin
ished. if the audience expresses ap-
prOval, the singer is considered to have
won and to have a just cause of COM
plaint. But if dissatisfaction is en-
pressed. that is considered sufficient
punishment. After the song everyone
dances and the party breaks up in
great good humOr.

CHAPTER XI.

The gap closed up behind them and
the tunnel began to echo weirdly. Over
their heads, at irregular intervals,
there were holes that if they led as
King presumed into caves above, left
not an inch of all the long passage that
could not have been swept by rifle fire.
1t was impregnable; for no artillery
heavy enough to pound the mountain
into pieces could ever be dragged
within range. Whatever hiding place
this entrance guarded could be held
forever, given food and cartridges!
The tunnel wound to right and left
like snake, growing lighter and light
er after each bend; and soon their own
din began to be swallowed in a greater
one that entered from the farther end.
After two sharp turns they came out
unexpectedly into the glaze of blue day,
nearly stunned by light and sound. A
roar came up from below like that of
I'm ocean in the grip of a typhoon.
When his wits recovered from the
shock, King struggled with wild de-
sire to yell, for before him was what
no servant of British India had ever

Japan Is Exporting Pulp.

Japanese imports Of pulp have en-
cOuntered obstacles, but, according to
the Japan Chronicle, it is believed that
the stocks held by paper manufacture
ers generally are sufficient to last un-
til the end of this year, while the do
nestle manufacture of pulp, stimulated
by import difficulties, has appreciabiy
developed. AS a result, efforts are
now being made by some merchants
to export homemade pulp.
The Chronicle states that this is
not to be the disadvantage of those
paper manufacturers who are suffer-
ing from the scarcity of imported pulp,
FIR what they essentially want it not
vet producible in this country. 1t finds
that there is no excessive domestic
pulp that is exported.

Spud Is important.

''The humble potato is destined to
play an important part in the present
world wary We are warned that as
much depends upon bread as bullets.
but owing to the scarcity of bread and
an overabundance of potatoes, it
would seem that more attention must
be given to the storing and preserving
of this crop.
scientists used to say that there
was but little food value in the po-
tato. But recently they have learn
ed with others that a little learn
ing is dangerous thing. Now we
are told that there is almost a bal
anced ration to be found III boun-
tiful meal of potatoes. At any rate
it has been amply proved that there
is no single vegetable that brightens
so many homes, or feeds so many peO,
pie as the potato.-EXchange

Bio SaVino of Meat,

"The soldiers at Fort Harrison are
going to do some feeding" said T. NJ.
Conron, Chicago meat packer, who was
at the Hotel SEVERN recently, accord
ing to the Indianapolis News.
Conron had in his pocket a contract
to send to the fort 175000 pounds of
meat. The contract also called for s.
900 pounds of butter and 5000 pounds
of best oleomargarine. Conron says
that meat packers are encouraging the
public to set aside meatless day. He
estimates that the average family will
require two pounds of meat a day
"Figure it up" he said, "and you will
find that the American public will save
in the neighborhoOd of 1O,0OO,OOC
pounds of meat every time they OBJ
serve a meatless day."

of water sooner than to almost any
thing. 1t was not long before Kings
ears could catch the patter of his mems
feet following, and the shod clink of
the mule. He could hear when Ismail
whispered:
''Be brave, little hakim! She loves
fearless men!"
At last the guide halted, in the mid
die of a short steep slope where the
path was less than six feet wide and
narrow cave mouth gave directly onto
it.
BE content to rest here!' he said,
pointing.
"Thy cave?" asked King.
NAY. Gods! l am the caretaker!" :"
The "'Hills" are very pious and po-
shedding blood.
"Allah, then, reward thee, brother ]"
answered King. "Allah give sight to
! thy blind eye! Allah give thee chill
dren Allah give thee peace, and to
all thy housed"
The guide salaamed, half-mockingly,
half-wOndering at such eloquence,
paused in the passage to point into
the side caves that debouched to either
hand, turned on his heel and stalked
out of the cavern. It was the last
King ever saw of him.
King turned back and looked into
the other caves-saw the weary horse
and mule fed, watered and bedded
down-took note of the running water
that rushed out of rock fissure and
gurgled out of sight down another one
examined the servants cave and saw
that they had been amply provided
with blankets. There was nothing lack
ing that the most eXacting traveller
could have demanded at such dis
tance from civilization. There was
more than the most eXacting would
have dared expect.
''Ismail !'' he shouted, and jumped at
the revolver-cracklike echo of his voice,
Ismail came running.
'sMake the men carry the mules
packs into this cave. You and Darya
Khan stay here and help me opes
them. Remember ye are both assisH
ants of Kurram Khan, the hakim! !"
'They will laugh at US! They VII
laugh at us!' clucked Ismail, but kt
hurried to obey, while King wondered
who would laugh.
