WILL NOT BE MADE RELIC
clemenceau's Coat to Be Missing From
Collection Of Mementoes Of the
Worlds Famous.

Apparently M. Clemenceau's prac-
teal mind and hate of show are going
to deprive his admirers OF the right
of gazing at the famous perforated
coat and waistcoat In one OF the Paris
museums, for this is not to be in
cluded among the relics OF greatness
for future age, like Nelson's coat and
the Napoleon relics. There have been
some very curious souvenirs of the
kind, apart from the half-smoked
cigars Of royalties which are treasured
by some. Most curious Of all undoubted.

Anglesey lost a leg at Waterloo, and II

to which he was taken. In after years
he used to recall how parties of people

A relic of another kind was George

Shark Salad Wilma Favor.

Shark meat is delicate in flavor and
texture, and sharks are plentiful In
certain parts Of Florida, but the fish
ermen do not catch them because they
are not salable. The home demon
stration agent Of Monroe county, Flor
ida, decided last winter on an effort
to establish in favor this fish now I'M
der the ban. At her request a fisher
man caught one, but warned her that
no one would eat It. Undlsmayed, she
invited large company of women
to home economics luncheon at which
was served n fish salad. When all
had tasted the salad she asked for a
vote as to how many liked 1t and
wanted the recipe. Without exception
the women voted their hearty ap-
proval, and thus proved to themselves
that their prejudice was without
foundation.

TOO FEW USE THEIR BRAINS
Result Truthfully May Be Said to Be
the Greatest Waste In the
World.

The recent invention which renders
wireless transmission independent Of
atmospheric conditions and the dis
covery by which seven messages can
be sent simultaneously over tele-
phone wire are striking instances Of
latent possibilities long unsupported.
For thousands of years we did not
even suspect the existence Of cleo
tricity, and, being ignorant, derived
no advantage from It.
If we had never heard music, we
would say 1t was merely the dream Of
a simpleton to expect the most beauti-
full harmony of sounds from combi-
nation of wood, intestines Of a dead
cat and hairs from the tail Of horse.
But the violin, plus the man who
knows how, accompllshes the wonder
full result.
Active talent is the source Of both
quantity and quality of production,
and that does not lie in capital but
In men, and it usually is latent.
Every man has power and courage,
but not all Of them know 1t.
David had it, and knew 1t, and licked
Goliath.
Foch was not plucked from the -four
hundred"
And Lincoln came from a log
cabin.
Not only once in a while, but very
often, nature takes particularly
"raw" bit Of material and shows up
what is in 1t. 1t is suggestion for
use to do likewise with ourselves.
The greatest waste in the world is
the unused brains.

Two old men, one a bachelor and
the other widower of many years
standing, have lived on small adjoin-
ing farms in the southern part of
Washington county for many years.
Not long ago one of them inherited a
small amount of money and he imme-
dietely put 1t to use by building a
new shack on his land.
When the house was completed he
asked his old friend and neighbor to
come over to spend the night. After
supper they sat by the fire and smoked
and talked and finally, when CONVEX
sation began to lag, the visitor turned
10 his host and said;
"You say this home is all done and

ACTION BETTER THAN WORDS


Lieut. Col. Charles w. Wbittlesey,
commander Of the Lost Battalion"
and winner Of the first congressional
medal of the war, has been dubbed
Go-to-Hell Whittlesey, because of his
reputed pithy answer to the German
demand to surrender Now comes
Lieut. Arthur McKeogh, adjutant Of
the battalion, with the complete story
which he tells In Everybody's. AS
a matter Of fact" writes Lieutenant
McKeogh, "the colonel sent back no
written answer whatever. To those
nearest him he did suggest that the
Boches could take the well-known easy
descent. But the most complete prac-
teal and splendid answer that could
have been made to the German pro-
posal he made as he finished reading
the note.
ION the side of the hill our airplane
llaison agent had spread out his panel
to indicate the battallon's position to
the divisional planes that had been try
ing to drop message cylinders and
even food within reach OF the COM
mand. That panel was an equilateral
cloth triangle, more than six feet long.
Moreover, with the exception OF a small
black patch, 1t was white. The
thought sprang into the colonel's mind
that, inclined as twas on comparatively
open ground, the big signal device was
probably visible In the Boche lines.
And 1t was white. Messages and food
were essential enough, God knows, but
suppose the Germans mistook that
panel for surrenderl
whit ordered 1t taken in at once.
That was his answer.

Increasing Use Of Castor Beans.

The use Of castor beans for making
oil increased very rapidly in 1913.
Great Britain imported from India from
$500 to 1000 tons per month. They
were used in making motor lubricat-
ing oil. An effort was made last year
to plant large areas of the beans in
the southern part Of the United States
and In the West Indies and Brazil.
So far most Of the beans have been
raised In India frome which some
1,723,000 gallons Of oil were exported
In 1861 This bean is form OF
our common garden castor bean used
as an ornamental.

The Pink Sheet
II
By r. RAY BAKER

One means Of wrestling q living from
the world that Eleanor Ferguson alb
horred above all others was prize fight
Ing. She had never witnessed any pugi-
listic bouts, but she had heard enough
concerning them to form q conclusion
that they were brutal and savage and
that no one who possessed the ves-
tige Of self-respect could bring himself
to engage in such an encounter.
Consequently, when she found the
man she most admired gazing up at
her serenely from pink sporting page
with the cognomen "Kid Gleason"
stretched above his head the feeling Of
disappointment-of well-nigh despair
that swept over her can we'll be I'M
derstood.
Eleanor came across the pink sheet
while rummaglng In the attic for some
long-discarded household utensil that
she suddenly felt the need Of In prep
aration for the party at which her en-
gagement was to- be announced. The
pink sheet had been used to wrap
something in and she came across it
quite by accident.
ITO announce my engagement Tho
phrase had lost its pleasant sound.
Now it seemed more like the knelling
of church bell at funeral. And the
pink sheet was to blame for 1t all. If
only she had stayed away from the
attic she would have continued in a
happy frame Of mind, she thought. On
the other hand, 1t would have been
much worse to have become the bride
of the man and then have the knowl-
edge of his means of livelihood sud
denly thrust upon her-when 1t was
too late.
"a prize f1ghter" she walled, and
she seated herself crosslegged on the
attic floor and buried her head In her
arms and wept. Anything but a prize

afraid to tell the truth. He's Just a
common savage, with a lust for blood
the principal Part Of his makeup"
Eleanor's LACK Of definite knowledge
was easily expiainable by the fact that
he lived in Jackson, which was 90
miles from her home city Of Kalama-
zoo. He came over every Saturday
eight to spend the weekend and she
saw nothing Of him on the Intervening
days.
When he had casually remarked that
he clerked In store she had taken II
for granted he was telling the truth.
At that time she could conceive Of no
reason for his classifying, but now she
could comprehend his evident reluc-
lance to discuss his work.

SO when Albert Gleason stepped off

smiles from the girl Of his choice, for
she concealed her disgust or abhor
