TOO MODEST IN HIS CLAIM
Frenehman Had only Asserted He
Could Speak English, but He Could
Do Better.

A French soldier who came
proudly up to an American in a GER
tain headquarters town the other
day, asked:
"You spik French"
'Nope," answered the American,
mot yet"
The Frenchman smiled compla-
Gently.
"Aye spik Eengleesh," he said.
The American grinned and the
Frenchman looked about for some
means to show his proves in the
foreign tongue. At that moment a
French girl, very neat and trim in
her peaked hat, long coat and high
laced shoes, came along. The French
man ierked his head toward her,
looked knowingly at the American
and said triumphantly "Cheeken."
The American reared. "Shake,"
he said, extending his hand. "You
don't speak English; you speak
American."-New York Globe.

Journalists and hints.

When we hear some sweet
scented, two-legged, long-eared
IDIOT tell what he would publish
in a paper if he ran one, we
wish we could give him the
chance to try it. There are e.
nough laws covering newspapers
today to make the job of editor
a profession that requires 20
years of hard training to keep
out of court, and an impossible
.ity to keep out of debt.-Anoka

MATERIAL FORCE OF WEALTH
Modern Man Desires Millions Chiefly
for the Distinction Which II
Conters Upon Him.

Many factors go toward lowering
the tone of this mankind whence
genius should spring as a mailman
or a god. One is our intense ON
seriousness of money. The discovery
of money is recent, for the rich men
of the Bible wanted hocks and lands
only so that they might eat well,
drink well, and wed fair women the
lust of Ahab was rather unusual. At
other times, in Babylon, in Venice,
wealth brought material benefits
first, later only distinction. Only
with the rise of the middle class did
wealth become the greatest force, for
it alone could make the middle class
equal with their fellows. As they
could claim no lineage, they natural
ly came to want to claim themselves
better than their kind-the mer-
chant princes OF the victorian
period, their sideboards, barouches
and sarcophagi; the American mil
lionaires with their demon cars,
their Ritz-Carlton dinners, their in
yestmentS in old masters (guaran-
teed moldy), are natural conse-
quences. Whereas in the seventeenth
century you could impress if you
we're a duke, in the twentieth CEN
fury if you become a millionaire you
can stun. And you car stun only
because everybody admires you fol
being a millionaire, because, as Miss
Marion Ashworth perfectly says,
'there are people whom the mention
Of great fortunes always makes sol
emn."-Harper's.

When you have a bilious at

its functions. You become con-

ments in your stomach instead
Of digesting. This inilames the
stomach and causes nausea,

ache, Take three Of Chamber

your liver, clean out your stom-

as ever. They only cost a quar-

speaking of Chamberlain's Cole

of what it had done for his fam

daughter who was lying at the
point of death with a violent at
tack Of dysentery, and had been
given up by the family physici-

WAS READY FOR EMERGENCY
Forethousht and Bravery Of United
States Marine Enabled Him to
Save Comrades Life.

The proverbial readiness Of Unit
ed States marines to meet any emer-
gency was shown by Private Leon
ard Boucher Dean of the national
naval volunteers, marine corps
branch, in a sensational life-Saying
exploit in Guantanamo bay, Cuba.
A private of marines was floating on
a log in the Caribbean sea near the
naval station at Guantanamo, He
was attacked by a shark and in fight
ing it he fell from the log. Taken
by cramps, ne managed to float, rub
bing his legs to maintain mobility
Of the limbs. ReScuing parties were
dispatched, but coald not reach him
on account of the rough sea. He was
helpless and was being carried out
by the tide. Private Dean was bath
ing on the beach. Word came that
a man was drowning and Dean
promptly swan out. Making his
course in a different direction from
that taken by the other rescuers, he
evaded the rough water and brought
ashore the drowning man, who had
been battling for his life nearly
three hours. 81 have often thought
this might happen when | was swim
ming here" Dean told the mar
whose life he saved, "and | had
planned just how | would 60 about
getting a man in if the occasion eveI
arose." Dean has received full credir
for saving the mans life and for hi
GOODNESS, courage and good iudg
ment he has been recommended b,
his superior officers for official com
mendation. He enlisted in the ma
rine corps branch of the nationa
naval volunteers on April II, 1917
at Los Angeles, Cal.
