"TEDDY" FAILED TO MAKE HIT
Roosevelt Tells Of Amusing Experience
Of His Youthful Days In the
Cattle Country.

In the oldtime cattle country and in
the bacGwoods nobody was supposed
to think of any necessary work as de-
grading. Abiding to oldstyle Ameri-
can conditions In recent issue of the
American, Theodore Roosevelt narrates
his xleriences as q shoe black. He
says, reminiscently: ,-.
Il remember that once. when there
was . lull IN outdoor work, 1 en-
deavored to be useful in and around
the house. fed the pigs; and on an
idle morning BACKED all the boots.
Ordinarily our boots did not need
backing of them were not that
kind. On this occasion started, with
an enthusiasm that outran my judg-
ment, to black the dress boots Of every
one Of both sexes. coated them with
a thick, dull paste; only a few knobs
became shiny; and the paste came off
freely on what 1t touched. As a result
temporarily lost not merely the re-
spect but even the affection of all the
other inmates Of the house.
However, / did not lose caste be-
cause l had blacked the boots. 1 lost
caste because had BACKED them bad
ly. But was allowed to continue feed

GOOD COOK TO BE ENVIED
Always Sure of Popularity Is the Per-
son Who Can Concoct Dishes
That Are Appetizing.

To prove that there is nothing in
trinsically humble or shameful in cook
ing it is only necessary to mention a
hunting or fishing party. The man who
can turn out palatable dish is envied
and lauded. The college girl who can
concoct midnight suppers over a can
of frozen alcohol or a gas jet is sure
of popularity. Many of the great of
the earth have practiced cooking as an
accomplishment. Louis XIV, one of the
EXTREMIST connOfsseurs in the art of
living, prided himself on his coffee.
One of the most famous of table sauces
was invented by a gentleman of Wor-
cestershire. Many great ladies of the
oiden times used to exchange recipes.
Sir Kenelem Digby, an adventurous
and scholarly soul, left a fat volume
full of them, ranging from simple ap-
pie sauce to the most refined elabo-
ration Of game.
1t is not even necessary that cook
cry should aspire to the phase called
fancy to be artistic. Above all, the
sauce, that idol Of the professional
chef, should be dethroned from its bad
emfnence. The sauce is the mother of
nightmares. The dish itself and not
its Accomplishments, is the thing. Cook
ing is real, cooking is earnest, and the
gravy is not its goal.-Exchange.

HOW INDIANA LOST CITIZEN
Escapade That Caused Youth to Turn
His Thoughts Toward the "WiId
and WooIIy" Region.

Harry CoOnse, ranchman and real
estate expert in the far Northwest, re-
turned to Indianapolis from his home
near Seattle. after an absence Of four
teen years. 1t is not widely known,
but Mr.. Coonse, when q boy of 10,
started in business as a helper on a
delivery wagon of L. S. Ayrcs & Co.
started and ended his dry goods career
In an unusual and interesting manner.
Harry, out of his first months wages,
had bought a rifle and box of car
tridges. One evening in Park avenue
the delivery uan went into a house
with a package, leaving Harry on the
drivers seat in charge of what was
common at that time-a Texas mus
tang-well broken, but still worth
watching. Instead of holding the lines
Harry spent the interim handling q
new rifle. AS often happens, the gun
was discharged and the bullet struck
the mustang. Harry made one grab
for the lines, missed, tumbled off the
seat and the wagon disappeared down
the street, strewing packages in its
path.
At dawn the next morning the horse
and wagon were found In the Pleasant
run bottoms, near the place where the
furnaces of the Citizens Gas company
now stand. Harry had already re-
s1gned.-Indianapolis News.

The gunners of the armed guards on
merchantmen have made a record of
which we may be justly proud. The
contests of the Silver Shell, which sent
down the submarine which attacked
it; of the Moreni, on which the men
stayed at their guns until the flames
fared up to the top of the smokestacks
on the burning ship; of the Campana,
whose gunners fought for hours until
their ammunition was exhausted; of
the ]. L. Luckenbach, which, though
under a rain of shells, hit nine times
and temporarily disabled, fought a
submarine for four hours, before aid
arrived, and later managed to reach
port under her own steam; of the Ar
menia, which, though torpedoed, was
saved through the courage and re-
sources of its captain, crew and armed
guard; Of the Navajo, the Mongolia,
the Petrolite and a dozen others are
notable enough to be recorded in the
naval history of the time.-Josephus

HAVE TO KNOW MULE NATURE
Drivers of Patient Animals Realize
They Have PecuIiarities and
Must Be Humored.

An old flea-bitten, hammer-headed.
ewe-necked bell mare, slowly picking
her way across the corral at the re-
mount station at Camp Zachary Taylor,
followed by a long string of mules
walking in single file, heads down and
ears Wagging, served as illustration
for an officer attached to the big can
Torment who had just finished remark
ing that ''horse nature and mule ma
ture and human nature were mighty
contrary things any way you take
them.'
'Now, take those mules" he said.
"The education of a pack mule is a
thing that must begin early. He has
just two purposes in life.
zone is to carry 225 pounds day
after day patiently and uncomplain-
ingly, and the other is to follow the
bell mare of the train, regardless of
where that animal may go. Well, there
is in that corral an illustration of the
effectiveness of our training. The old
mare has started after a drink of
water and there goes every dad-blasted
one of those fool mules after a drink
of water"
Investigation revealed that the pack
mule is not the only member of his
family that has peculiarities that can
be played upon or must be humored.
1t was learned that the larger mules,
once teamed up or paired, must there
after be worked together if each is not
to suffer a loss in efficiency. Two
strange mules will not work together
anything like so well in the beginning
as they will few weeks later, after
they have become well acquainted, and
then if they are parted the whole
process must be gone over with again.

HAS WON RESPECT OF ALL
British Working Man, making Good"
as Soldier, VIII Never Again Be
Butt of testers.

What the poor citizen wants is not
charity, or even sympathy, still less
regulation; it is respect, which is the
social soil of self-respect. That is why
he is sometimes happier as soldier,
in spite of all the sickening horrors of
soldering; because humanity always
has respected, and always will respect,
a soldier.
Thus, Gilbert K. Chesterton, writ
ing in the Illustrated London News,
sums up an argument which, among
its premises, contains the following ::
"After all, it will be well to remem-
Der that nearly every battalion is a
labor battalion. The commonest type
in the trenches, the object of such
wide and well-deserved praise in the
press and the public speeches, is, after
all. identical with another type-a
common object of the streets and the
comic papers. The British soldier is
generally our old friend the British
working man.
"He has lived by trades that are
too often treated rs merely grimy or
grotesque; and in the case of new and
almost crude conscript armies, like
those we have lately raised, he has gen.
orally quite recently dropped those
tools and left those trades. 1t is the
plumber, who is charged with potter
ing about for days before he stops
small leak in a pipe, who has often in
a few minutes stopped with his body
the breach in the last dyke of civiliza-
ton, lest it should let in q sea of saw
agery; and there may even be fewer
jokes about his soldering, now they
can be answered by a pun about his
soldering. 1t is the cabman. who was
supposed to grumble unduly at very
different sort of fare, and especially at
at the sort we call warfare"

Watch Heart in Lobar Pneumonia.

Deaths of pneumonia patients are
due either to heart failure or to sep
ticemia, seldom, If ever, to insufficient
aeration of the blood in the lungs, says
DR.. E. P. Hershey of Denver in his
prize answer to the New York Medical
Journals question, How do you treat
lobar pneumonia"
DR.. Hershey says the heart must be
watched and stimulated with digitalis.
If it can be obtained the appropriate
vaccine is to be used. In spite of
prejudice, he recommends the ice bag.
If the patient be alcoholic he must
have whiskey or brandies; if not, all
I liquor must be cut out. A generous
diet, but without meat, is necessary.
Open-air treatment is conquering an
Gent prejudice. Sudden rise of tenn
perature on the third, fifth or seventh
day is no cause for alarm, and de-
pressing medicines at this time may
mean death.

FAIL TO eERMANIzE HOLLAND
Dutch Character Has Successfully Re
sisted All Efforts Made by Its
Powerful Nelqhbor.

That Germany covets Holland Is no
diplomatic or other secret. Everybody
knows it. Considering the Dutch char
aeter and pride in national independ-
ence which they have manifested ever
since the Dutch language assumed final
shape as evidence of distinct national
ity, it has seemed best to the HoheD-
zolleEns to proceed by peaceful means.
among which none is more patent than
intermarriage among influential fam
lilies. And especially there is desired
marriages Of German princes and
princesses into the House of Orange,
which for some centuries, either as
Stockholders or kings, has been the gov
erning head Of the Dutch state.
There has been great success in Sc
curing German marriages. The mother
of Queen Wilhelmina was a German
princess and her husband is a German
prince.
But, while there has been success in
securing German husbands or wives
for the House Of Orange, the assimila-
ton has been from. German into Dutch
and not from Dutch into German. We
recall no German prince or princess
who has married into the House of
Orange who has not turned out to be
as loyal a Dutchman or Dutchwoman
as the most ardent Hollander could de-
sire, observes the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
The fact is that the sturdy Dutch
character persists from generation to
generation and forms one of the most
distinctive types of the human species.
This is not because the German rulers
have not constantly tried to mold it
over, but because they have failed to
do so.
And the modern Germans are
impatient that they have dallied so
long with peaceful means and are for
taking by force what they cannot get
otherwise.

Leonardo da vinci Amazes Surgeons.

Though written four hundred years
ago, Leonardo da Vinci's book on anat-
omy has only recently been published,
and surgeons are only now discovering
the marvels it contains.
Lecturing recently on it in London,
Prof. William Wright pointed out that
when it was written the circulation of
the blood, osmosis, oxygen and the
microscope were all unknown. All doc
tors believed that the arteries were
full of free air and that the blood was
aerated in the heart. The interior ar
rangement Of the heart was also mis-
understood.
But Leonardo denied that air entered
the heart, and wrote that the blood
was refreshed" in the lungs; he de-
scribed accurately the anatomy of the
heart and large blood vessels and the
action Of the muscles of the chest and
abdomen in respiration.

UNCLE SAM MUST RAISE
 WAGES TO SECURE GIRLS.

Within the past few days number of local young women have received telegrams from Washington instruct ing them to report for duty In clerical capacities but it is believed none will respond as the salaries connected with the positions are not alluring in these days Of high prices. The girls passed civil service examinations several months ago but since then there has been such a demand for their, services that they are earning salaries far in excess of those paid by Uncle Sam at the nations capital.
 Among the young women sum- moned is Miss Edna Berg of 503 North Burritt street. She is now en- gagged as an inspector in the ordnance department at the stanley Works. She was offered a position as clerk in the bureau of war risk insurance at N Washington with salary of s1.eoo.

It is looked upon as the natural development of the 1917- 1918 scheme of organization and training by which regiments after training were merged into divisions under federal staff direction. The creation of the First army brings great American forces under Ameri- can command but under the orders of the generalissimo, Marshal Foch.
 The size of the army has not been announced beyond the indication that it contains five corps commanded by Major Generals Liggett, Bullard, Bundy, Reed and Wright.
 Each corps is composed of several divisions with each division including 300 troops Of all arms while the corps in addition will have its comp1e- ment of auxiliary troops, supply troops, air squadrons, tanks and heavy artillery. It is understood other armies will be formed shortly in view of the recent Washington announcement that 1,300,0 ,000 American troops already had sailed for France.

Pershing, and it is under stood, it will operate in the area north of the Marne from which the Germans have been driven out. The American divisions which participated in that drive have been under French com mand, but now are included in the First army.
 General Pershing, Whc retains his post of chief of the American Expedi- tionary forces, after a time may relin- uuish the command of the First army but possibly not until the organization of a Second army is well under way. Meanwhile, he will have two head quarters, at the First army as we'll as at General Hea dduarters
