WAR FULFILLED A
 PROPHECY OF LONG AGO

The ex-kaiser's left arm is so with cred that the hand is practically use less. This fact inspired many of his subjects with dire forebodings when he came to the throne. For centuries a prophecy has been current in the fatherland, foretelling that the Ger man empire would be brought to ruin under an emperor with one hand
 This prediction is not the only one which has been realized by the war Before his assassination in 1881, Czar Alexander II was haunted by the dread that the wrongs of Poland should be fearfully avenged on Russia and on the Romanoffs, who had been her chief appressors.
 His favorite, the Princess Dolgoruki, who passed for a religious mystic, sought to assure him by declaring that Poland should never be avenged till Russia, Austria and Germany lay in ruins together.
 "Then it will never be-" he said, "for it is impossible that three such power ful empires could be destroyed simul- taneously."
 The Hungarian revolution of 184S was suppressed with savage cruelty, and the reign of the late Francis Jo- seph began amidst whosesale execu- tions. One of the Hungarian patriots, while on his way to the scaffold, said calmly:
 "We die for freedom, but the doom of the Hapsburgs is sealed. Their empire shall not survive Francis Jo- seph." Thanks to the war, it has sur vived him less than two years.

A COUPLE OF OLD STORIES

La Baionnette, Paris paper, now prints these two examples of French wit of the Sixteenth century:
 King Henry W, while driving in Paris, saw an old man with white hair and coal black beard. The king stopped his carriage and asked the old man how it came that his hair was white and his beard black.
 "Sire," answered the old man, "it is because my hair is twenty years older than my beard"
 A physician, having sick horse, called a veterinarian, who drenched the animal and cured it.
 My friend" said the physician, "what do I owe you?"
 "No charge, sir" replied the vet erinarian. "We don't take pay from men in the profession"

HINTS ON BEAD WORK

All kinds of bead work is so much in vogue that amateurs will hail with de- light any suggestions.
 To have good results proper tools must be on hand. Procure fine straw or olngeye crewel needles. Use fine linen thread and wax it.
 Baste the canvas to thin goods, such as lawn, on the wrong side of the de- sign if it be bag of solid work so it will not pucker.
 Spread beads out on a soft white cloth for dark beads, and the light ones on dark surface, then work only in a good light, not facing it.

TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO

"And herein it is that I take upon me to make such bold assertion that all the world are mistaken in their practice about women; for I can not think that God Almighty made them '. so glorious creatures with souls capable of the same ac- complishments with men, and all to be only stewards of our houses, cooks and slaves" This advanced doctrine, which in its climax sounds somewhat as if it were uttered in present day convention, was written, as is noted in a recent book on English literature, some two hundred years ago, by Daniel Defoe.

SAYS TEXANS DIDN'T BITE

Senator Capper says in his news paper that Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas invested more money in fake oil stocks last year than they did in Liberty Bonds. Speak for Kansas, Capper. Texas made some invest ments, but we take it that outside suckers owned most of the money in- vested in the fake Texas stocks.

Orders were issued to squads OF

! One of the discoveries made by the
| Americans who have completed the
task of cleaning up the battlefield was
| the unusually large number of ma
chine guns the Germans had installed

was secured as to the number the
enemy was able to save in his flight
toward the Rhine. but thousands of
these weapons were left behind. In
one small sector of the battlefield sew
eral hundred cars were loaded with
machine guns.
In one town located in the rear OF
the battlefield there is a pile of brass
shell cases, abandoned by the Ger

hold of a large ocean freighter. i
was estimated that nearly 1,OO0,OO'
shell cases had been piled in that vii

the French government.
Experts with the American eXpedi
