Wise Doctor.


For weeks she had been ailing. At
last the poor husband willing to as
sumo the expense rather than suffer
the suspense summoned the eminent
physician.
The doctor viewed her tongue with
alarm. He slandered the action Of her
pulse. He asked all the questions in
the catechism of medical lore.
Sir" said the eminent pillist, ''your
wife needs a change" The poor man
bowed his head in his hands and al
lowed two large tear drops to race to
the tip of his nose and dive off.
what sort of a change, doctor?"
Tier poor nerves have finally given
way under the strain of listening To
the same old talking machine records.
Buy her some new ones and We'll soon
have her on her feet" The man
nodded.
Then the great doctor left the I'M
happy home, hurried 70 a telephone
and calling up the photograph place,
told them to be ON the look out for q
smallish. brekish looking man with a
pale oald head who would be in in
about one hour and out about SIS.

FISH-SKIN SHOES COMING?
Quite Possible, Though II Must Be Ad-
nitted They Are Not Altogether
Desirable Footwear.

When things come to the worst
every day is going to be like Friday
the atmosphere will be crowded with
the aroma of fish. There is a scarcity Of
leather, a. everybody knows, and, that
being so, tanners are making a dill
gent search for other substitutes, and
new sources Of supply. Experts de
clare that the skins of aquatic crea-
lures offer a practically undevelOped
resource, and it is not unlikely that be-
fore long we shall be covering our ex-
trelnities with the skins of the man
eating shark and the sacred Goldfish.
The reason such skins have not here
tofore been utilized for leather is not
because they are net perfectly WEI
adapted for such use, but only because
the skins of land animals have been
so plentiful. Disciples of Izaak Wal
ton dispute the experts about the cur
ing of fishslSins. They say once a fish
always fish. If it comes 10 pass that
we adopt fish-skin shoes these fish
ernen offer some advice to the callow
youth who goes counting. "Leaye your
fish-skin shoes on the front porch, like
the Hollanders and Japs, and court In
your stocking feet. Otherwise there
will be a chilly reception awaiting
YOU" Being married, they are talking
oy the book.

stopped in front of the gate" related
Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. HE

CARRIED THEORIES INTO WAR
Famous French Commander Made
Good Use OF Strategic Maneuvers
He Had Taught.

Like President Wilson, General Foch
was college professor before the
war, according to Howard Wheeler,
who tells us in Everybody's that ''Foch
taught military strategy, to be sure.
but he was a teacher, a theorist; and
when he became a commander in
actual war he did not drop his the
cries. He practiced them. Many of
the leaders under him had been his
students. He called upon them to Go
in the field in the face of a savage,
clever enemy, what he had asked them
TO recite in the academy. One of his
staff, Colonel Requin, told laughingly
one day how some of these other gen.
erals, practical men, were shocked at
orders he took to them from Foch.
at vas a common experience of
mine ae said, 'to take an order to a
division commander in the very crisis
of a fight, directing him to perform at
once a well-studicd. typical maneuver.
The troubled, busy general would take
the order, read and reread the clean,
careful writing. and then turn to me
and exclaim: "Impossiblel Why, that
would be hard enough to do in maneu-
vers, but in battle Here? Now?
My God, it is impossible r''
The general, of course, would per-
form the movement, ACCIDENTALLY, I'M
der fire. And" said Colonel Requin,
when he tried it, it worked out. And
1t was those things that won the bat
tie that won the war;"

ice, and one winter morning he came
running TO his master with a large
piece FROM a bucket in the yard.
Look. master" he said, what a
large piece Of glass 1 have found"
His employer said it loked very wet
and jokingly told him to put 1t on the
back Of the stove to dry. He did so.
and presently came running back with
the partly melted ice In his hand.
Master, Us the queerest glass ever
saw. The more dry it the wetter II
gets."-Boston Transcript

WASHINGTON, Aug 23.-Efforts to OBJ
tain unanimous agreement for final
vote Monday on the bill for leasing Gov
erpment owned oil, gas, coal and phos-
phate lands failed in the Senate to-day
after a long discussion.
During the debate charges were made
that the legislation would be in the in
terest Of the Standard OIL Company, and
the conseIv alton policies of clifford
Plnchot as chief Of the forestry service
were attacked.
Objection to fixing definite time to
vote was made by Senator La Toilette
(Wis). who said he was opposed to
limiting discussion. Senator Kenyon
tIowa) said there was an impression
over the country that II the bill were
passed the Standard OIL Company would
get control of the country's oil supply.
Senator Smoot (Utah). in charge of
the bill, and Senator Arshurst (Arlz.)
declared such was not the case. adding
that IL the Senate wanted ito play into

lieve that the way to conserve the nat
ural resources of the country is to keep
them away from the people.
''If anybody Is interested in keeping oil
CT the market IL Is the Standard OIL
Company" he continued. adding that
while he and other Western Senators
opposed leasing system the time had
come when the country must either play
into the hands of the Standard oil Com
pany or have a leasing system"
The Standard OIL Company, he de-
clsred, urged the passage of the leasing
bill for oil lands In 1911 knowing that
by urging a leasing bill 10 could bring
ian impasse' in the Senate 80 IL could
charge whatever 1t desired for oil.
After an exhaustive criticism of the
principle of the bill. Senator Thomas
(Col) said he was in favor of 1t, be-
cause II was the best that could be had.
He assailed the practice of Govern
ment leasing its lands, but explained
that under the circumstances there APP
peared no other way of meeting the
present necessity for development.
The Colorado Senator asserted that
this Government entered into the leasing
system many years ago on both sides of
the Mississippi. adding, land 1t was
abandoned as this will be-"

added, because can't help myself. 1t

The Senator prophesied that 1t would
burden the Administrator with a large
item of expense and that before 1t be-
came< operative IL woold be bound in
countless yards of red tape "of which

A substitute for the pending bill, pro-
viding for turning over the public do
main to the various States in which It is
located was introduced by Senator King

leasing system and that the pending bill
was only another link in the chain of
