Curious coconut Crab.

The coc0nut crab of Christmas IL.
land earns its name by the way It
makes Its living. Except for Its an.
nual visit to the sea, 1t lives in a hole
in the ground lined with coconut fibers
and climbs up the coconut trees to
procure its food. According to Aweri.
can Forestry, this "robber-crab's meth
cd of carrying coconuts is to strip
them Of their husks and then to hold
the nut under some Of its walking
legs, while 1t retires, raised high on
the hips Of those legs not used for
this purpose" After removing the

How "nl.ck watch" Got Name.

In the old days the regiments Of
the British army were known by the
color Of their uniforms. as the White
regiment, the Blue regiment, or the
Red regiment, and so ad infinitum. 1t
is quite possible, therefore, that there
was Black regiment, from whence
came the Black Watch. The Red reg
iment, incidentally. was Cromwell's
Ironsides. But the term "Black
Watch was also used for the Guards
Of the Dominic4ns or Black FriarS.
and came to be applied also to the
scullions In the Kitchens Of the great
houses, whose business It was to look
after the pots and pans.

Who Won the warY

From the New York Herald.
In his Fourth of July address to
the soldiers and sailors on the George
Washington at sea President Wilson
said:
had not been for America the war
would not have been won. Ny, heart
swe1ls with pride that I cannot ex7
press when 1 think of the men who
the seas from America to
fight on those battlefields."
In his Newcastle. England, address
Field Marshal Haig, on receiving the
freedom of the city. said:
1T is right to speak Of our allies,
but it was the British army that won
the war. 1t was Britain that bore
the brunt of the fighting in the last
realize that fact and stick by the
fellows who fought and suffered and
by their dependents"
: AS the Irishman said, "a man ought
to- be proud of ID native land. whether
he was boon there on not" So Presi-
dent Wilson and Field Marshal Haig
are proud of their respective coun-
tries and the soldiers and sailors Of
their respective countries. But is
there not enough glory for all?
Who won the war? The millions
who lie sleeping in the soil Of France;
the millions who, dead or living, con-
tributed their part to the conflict:
Americans. French. British, Canadians,
Italians. Belgians. Japanese. Serbs,
Rumanians, Australians. patriotic
Russians-all who gave their courage
and strength to the cause Of human
liberty. History will generously give
the praise to the allies and their as
sociates. All "won the war"

Bossy.
From the Milwaukee Journal.


We visited a dairy farm. the other
day, just when the cows " ere coming
in. About twenty Of them there were.
all Holsteins,s every one with a place
of her own. We called it a barn, but
we ought to have said milking par
lor, for the floor was concrete. there
were drains to keep it clean and steel
stanchions and everything a COW likes
to give her a sense of reposeful ele-
gance.
The man in charge knew his cows.
He knew their ancestors, too. and all
about them, just as well as your
neighbor knows about yours. And he
knew what each COW could do, kept
track of it in pounds of milk and per-
centage of butter fat. No COW board
ers in that stable. Any Bossy who
is credit to society and gives due
return is treated as a guest of honor.
But II she can't earn her way, she
isn't boarded free. That's the value
of good treatment and records. You
get more milk from your cows and
ing good just because you don't know
what they really are doing.
Why not? That is The only way a
business gets anywhere. That's why
Wisconsin cows and Wisconsin dairfes
mean something. A, firm in WAN
kesha paid $10,1 for cow the other
day, and it wasn't because she smiled
at them, either, but because they
knew she was worth it. They'll get
theiI. $4,000 back, while men with
cheaR scrubs are wondering why they
can't smake money in the milk busi-
ness.

what he thought of the present sta

of the Senate, made the following
state ment:
"My idea is that the real friends
of the treaty will get together if the
Senate (both factions) soon after
Congress- reconvenes in December
The partisan feeling was running so
high that the Republicans were I'M
willing to make any concessions, and
the reservations of Senator Lodge in
his committee were intending to hum
iliate the President and could not be
accepted. There is no doubt that a
great many Republican earnestly
want the treaty ratified and they
will make concessions and poin with
us to ratify it,"

OMAHA is one of the principal sheep markets in the

Thousands of sheep are daily shipped here However,
all the wool the Wyoming ranches produce, passes right
through OMAHA to Boston and other wool markets of the

Why not develop OMAHA to large wool market?
Naturally in connection with the establishment of wool
market, may also cite wooden mills and other CORE
spon6ent factories and establishments
OMAHA boasts record hardly surpassed by any
community in the United States.
For weeks and weeks hundreds of OMAHA business men

The new. rough, heavy. and really
magnificent weaves in silk have 20
gloriaed the separate skirt. that 1t bids
fair to hold the center Of fashions
stage-for a while. Types Of skirts
are developing that are not easy to
identify as belonging to our familiar

skirts exactly. they are not strictly
dressy skirts and they are not really
sport skirts. although evidently de-
scended from that virile parent Of new
styles.
The material Is the thing that Ia
featured in these skirts and they need
nothing else to give them distinction.
A whole flock of beautiful. trademark

centers and the separate skirt has been
glorified as before mentioned, merely
by being made of them.

silks Is shown In the skirt pictured.
This model is plain, gathered into a
belt and has folded girdle Of the
material. At each side there are pock-
