"My motto is On to Berlin" de-
clared Meredith Nicholson, author,
who was in Omaha on business

German fleet" he said, there can
be no armistice without that. That
must be one of the fundamental
demands. Germany is not whipped
until we have her splendid fleet"
What about adjourning politics
during the war;" was one of the
questions fired at the author.
This would be a good time to
adjourn politics" he answered, with
ghost of a smile. Then he ad.
mitted that he is lawfully busy"
just now.
4 The noted author has just COM
pleted a new novel, "The Valley of
Democracy" which, he said, deals
with a number of Omahans. His

when my wife's health began to
fail, she lost her appetite and her
stomach got so bad that what she
ate soured and filled her up with
! gas and distressed her very much.
Her complexion was pale and sal
low looking, she complained of hav-
ing dizzy spells, when she would
have to stop whatever she was do
ing and sit down to keep from fall
ing. She said her shoulders ached
with rheumatism and her back hurt
all the time like it would kill her,
and she felt so bad and miserable
she just had to let her homework
go. She became so nervous that
she could hardly sleep and even the
children playing about would irri-
tate her, and any sudden noise
would excite her almost to distrac-
ton. She got worse and worse lin
spite of everything, and finally got
| to the point where she felt just
about done up.

talen five bottles Of this medicine

up so she eats anything she wants
and never has any trouble with gas

awful misery in her back has en-
tirely disappeared, her complexion
has cleared up, her nerves are calm

Curious Superstitions

tell you that hedgehogs are useful
in the cure of epilepsy, that oint-
ment should never be applied with
the first finger, as that one is veno-
nous, and that a child s nails should
never be cut during the first year
of its life, or it will grow up light
fingered.
Most curious, however, are the
cures recommended for whooping
cough. A lock of hair should be
cut from the sufferers head, and

a mountain ash. after which the
hole should be closed. The whoop
will vanish in three days under this

throat. The master of the rookery,
instantly forgetting Gregory,
turned with an enraged snort and
locked tusks with his enemy.
! Gregory's ankle escaped crush
ing. but the sharp teeth had cruelty
iacerated his flesh. He scrambled
painfully to his feet and started
forward, but Old Gray was too
quick for him. The bull flung the
brown enemy, half dead, down the
rocks, and wheeling swiftly,
climbed to the pinacle in front of
the door. That was his point of
vantage, and he refused to bulge.
In desperation, Gregory listened
to the fog signal Of the approach
ing steamer prolonged coughing
scream of a siren. The captain,
feeling his way through the fog,
was calling for the light. Gregory
knew that in fifteen, perhaps ten,
minutes. if he could not get to the
light, the ship would smash against
the headland.
1t was now dark. To try to
pass Old Gray meant certain death
from those terrible tusks. Gregory
had no revolver but: he remem-
bered the sheath knife in the tool
kit of the launch. If he could
fasten that knife to the oar he
might improvise an effective spear.
Armed with that weapon Greg
ory crept back toward Old Gray.
Gregory could see him but dimly
now. Approaching as close as he
dared, he poised the oar, aimed it
straight for the beasts head and,
with every ounce of strength in
his body, shot it forward.
Instantly Old Gray's believing
ceased. Hearing the rush of the
creatures immense body, Gregory
turned and fled. When he reached
the spot where he had dropped the
can of oil. he crouched between the
towering boulders.
In the crisis an inspiration came
to him. Selling the can of oil he
crept forward towithin half doz-
en- feet of Old Gray. In a rock he
found hollow and poured it full
of kerosene. Then he threw a
stream of oil over the rock and as
near to Old Gray as possible. Be-
tween his curved hand he lighted a
match. A plume of fame leaped
skyward, spread over the rock and
flared up under Old Gray's nose.
In the glare loomed the master of
the rookery. Then with a howl of
fear he turned and topped across
the rock into the sea.
Flinging himself against the
door of the tower, Gregory dashed
up the steel ladder and into the
lantern. With trembling fingers
he lighted the circular wick of the
lamp. Then he listened breath
lessly until he heard the fog
signals of the steamship Harvard
veer to windward.

brown bull, plunging upward and
tearing at his throat. Hundreds
of excited cows writhed about the
combatants. The great yearly
fight for the mastery of the rookery
was taking place. Only at that
time are the sea lions dangerous.
There was only one door to the
tower and Old Gray was reared
square up against it. In the gath
ering dusk the battle went on.
Gregory knew that he must gain
the tower at once and light the
lantern. He put down the oil can
and, shouting as he went, began to
climb up the rocks. Once he
slipped; but he jumped up quickly
and hurried on toward Old Gray.
Hundreds of cows, followed by
their croaking cubs, splashed away
from him into the ocean; only the
bulls remained. The wild boom of
the surf almost drowned Gregory's
shouts; Old Gray and his antagon-
lists we're oblivious of his presence.
The boy now stood within eight
feet of them. With savage roars
they tore at each other. Gregory
heard the fearful impact of their
bodies. The brown sea lion darted
back and lowered his head; then,
with lightning speed he plunged
forward. with his fippers spread,
his mouth distended and his big
tusks cleaning.
With roar that resounded above
the pounding surf, he seized Old
Gray by the neck. but the leader
of the herd snapped his head for
ward; his teeth, gripping the neck
of his enemy, sank deep. Old Gray
shook the attacking bull as a Cat
shakes mouse, and finally hurled
him down the rock. Then he
threw back his head and, with
blood dripping from his mighty
tusks, beloved in triumph.
At that moment. in a lull in the

of the adaptibility and resourceful-

left entirely in the hands of clever,
energetic boys. They quickly

Ifd7IM1l LITTLE before dawn
BGMgN Gregory Leeds, the Sec
BIS4VGH ond keeper of the light
lgWlgB at Ano Nuevo Island, was
awakened by a terrific rafting OF
oil cans in the supply room below
him in the tower. Alert and as
founded, he sat up in his bunk.
What could the noise mean? Be.
fore he had gone to bed at two
o'clock he had made his round of
inspection: had seen the kerosene
tanks were filled, that the wicks
were trimmed. that the light was
burning clear, and that the en-
trance door below was shut tight.
Leaping from his bunk, the
young fellow dressed quickly. He
had been second keeper of Ano
Nuevo Light off the California
coast for six months. Capt. Don
aldson, the first keeper, was i'll at
Pigeon Point, five miles from the
island, and the responsibilities
were on Gregory's shoulders. The
captain had taken a deep interest
in Gregory because the boys faith
er had been in the service all his
life. Donaldson was educating his
friends son to be a lighthouse en-
gineer.
During the half year that Greg
ory had been on the island his ears
had become accustomed to two
sounds: the thunder of the surf on
the jagged headland of the island
and the constant row of thousands
of sea lions. No one ever visited
the island, and the lighthouse ship
came with supplies only once
month.
Getting light, Gregory went
cautiously down the circular steel
ladder toward the supply room.
The tower was built in three sec
tions: above was the lantern, be-
low that was the bunk room, and
on the ground floor was the sup
ply room. As he entered the sup
ply room fearful below went up.
In the glare of his lantern he saw
the floor covered with huge, writh-
ing sea lions, surrounded by bark
ing COWS and whimpering cubs.
At sight of the lantern they broke
forth into deafening, frightened
cries. Somehow the door had
opened. A gale was blowing;
dangerously high, the breakers
were pounding just outside. Show
ers of white spume dashed in with
every breaking sea. Gregory
guessed that the great waves had
forced the sea lions up to the tower
and that the pressure of their
huge bodies had broken in the
door.
Greatly to his dismay. he saw
that the antics of the sea lions ha0
played havoc with the kerosene
Their powerful flippers had hurled
the oil cans about, and, since the
cans had half-inch openings to ad.

Escape From German Camps

many German officers visited prison
camps to ascertain the attitude Of
Allied prisoners toward the rcvolutio on
Each prisoners was asked if he in

lists, and those who replied in the
negative, saying. they wished only to
rejoin their regiments, were asked to
give their parole not TO try to escape.
Captain James Norman Hall, Of
Colfax, Ia; Lieutenant Henry c. Lewis,
of Germantown, Penn; Lieutenant
Robert j. Browning, of Minneapolis,
Mimi. and Charles R. Goldman, of Bos~
ton, Mass, refused to give their parcAs,
but agreed not to join the revolution.
A camp inspector then gave them a
strong hint that no great difficulties
would be placed in the way of their
escape. The four Americans left Camp
Landshut and reached Munich. From
there they went to Landau, across Lake
Constance, proceeded to Romansborr,
and finally reached Berne. where they
received outfits from the American Red
Cross.
