A CH1NAMAN had q magic jar. And
when you think of q jar In China
do not think Of one of the tiny affairs
such as Americans use. A jar there
means big affair, about half the size
of hogshead. It was in such Jars
that Ali Baba's forty thieves concealed
themselves.
Well, this magic Jar had the power
OF multiplying whatever was put into
1t. II you put in suit of clothes you
could pull out perhaps two or three
dozen suits. If you put in a silver dol.
lar you might get out hundred sill
yer dollars. There does not seem to
have been any regularity about the
Jars multiplying Qualities. Sometimes
might multiply by hundred.
At any rate. the owner Of the magic
jar was getting rich fast, when q
greedy judge somehow got wind of the
strange affair: Accordingly he brought
some Kind OF false charge against
Jar into court. Then the judge pre-
tended that he could not decide the
case and would keep the jar So he
took 1t to his own house and began
to profit by it's labors.
Now when this happened the friends
OF the mistreated man began to MUIR

from the Judge. they appealed to the
Judges father. You may be fifty or

times are to be found in the works of
ancient Greeks, who, perhaps, stole
them from still earlier jecters. Here
are some of the Chinese jokes:
Two men, Chunk and Kung, are
warming themselves before an open
stove. Chunk. who is remarkable for
his GOODNESS and audacity, says to
headed person:
my dear Kung, there Is something
that I should like very much to say
to you. 1t relates to q circumstance I
have observed for little time past
and have desired to mention to you.
But, bearing in mind the somewhat
fiery and quarrelsome disposition that
is commonly attributed to you, l
have hesitated to express 1T. But
I have at last resolved that. II I do
not mention the matter to yop / shall
termined to ask your permission to
speak to you about It,"
"Well. what Is it?"
"Your coat. my dear Kung." says
Chung, quietly, "is on dre."
"For PHYS sake!" exclaimed Kung,
angrily. jumping UP and finding his
coat nearly burned of. why in the
world didn't you tell me before?
'There 1t goesl What q frightful
temper!" Chung murmursd, as he
moved away. Folk told me quite

ONE Of the forty-eleven first signs

An atom of a boy was whimpering
along Market space with mother who
jerked him by the hand. He was such
a tiny boy that he wore baby kits
under his jacket. but his memory must
have stretched back to at least one sea-
son of buds and birds and spring
openings. for the passing balloon man

True it rs that Queen Marie has
been tireless in her efforts to al
leviate the suffering Of her people
and to keep up the morale of the
little. nation, which was fighting
against great odds.
Just before Rumania was driven
to separate peace with Germany
the queen took trip of 500 miles
along the battle front for the pur-
pose of encouraging and inspiring
worn people of her little kingdom.
With her was an Associated Press
correspondent, who said Of her work:
During these three days she passed
through scores of little villages, all
devastated by artillery fire and aerial
indelible marks of German vandalism.
Famine stalked everywhere; children
went barefoot through the snow-cov-
cred streets; every one was gaunt and
emac1ated. The food supply in the
army was fairly good and the dug
outs were warm and comfortable,
even on the coldest days.
"The soldiers everywhere greeted
the queen with the utmost enthusi-
asm and affection. There could be
no doubt that she was idolized by
the rank and file of the whole army,
and her intense interest in their well
fare was shown on every mile Of the
three days journey. Every Rumanian
officer carried a photograph of the
queen, and many of these bore her
personal signature. Thousands of the
private soldiers also carried her pic

sacred ikOns and crucifix,
