"Never mind, Connie, you Just wait

thing in the world is this rheumatic
twinge that gets my knee. There, I've
found it" And she slipped something
hastily into the folds of a newspaper
and closed the trunk.
1t was a good old trunk, covered
with horsehide, the hairy side out, and
studded with brass nails. She patted
it affectionately In memory OF the chill

DRANK TOAST TO WILHELM
Fleld Marshal Hlndenburg and Army
Staff Observed the Birthday OF
the Former Kaiser.

From a report Of the Cnssea All
gemeine Zeitung. as cited In the Vos-
siche Zeitung, II appears that, despite
all denials, the ex-kaiser's birthday
was celebrated at the Germany army
headquarters. The journal says that
Marshal Won Hindenburg referred TO
the ex-kaiser as follows:
Oven people of different views
would consider 1t cowardice and dis
loyalty If we should hesitate to admit
frankly that we are thinking today
with love- gratitude. reverence and
great sorrow of the kaiser to whom
we have hitherto devoted our lives and
our actions, and for whom we were
ever ready to stake our blood and our
treasure for the welfare Of the father
land. May God bless him and give
him strength to bear the heavy bur
den which Gods inscrutable will has
placed upon him. Let US drink a 81
lent toast TO his health with this SIN
eere wish from our loyal hearts"

Long Words Little Used.

In the discussion that has been going
on in the columns of a contemporary
concerning the longest word In the
English language, the latest candidate
is "antitransubstantia
which easily outruns "honori6cabili-
tudinity" and "anthropomorpholo
ly" Such words, however, are more
likely to have been used by an individ-
ual as the word "antidisestablishme
tarianism" is said to have been used
by Archbishop Benson, than to have
got permanently lodged in the diction-
sry. They are interesting curiosities,
