C,uh the cave man, hurried nome
through the early dawn. Siuns from
his shoulder were three large stones

Breaking into loud. paleolithic sobs,
Bla once more brought the club to
bear upon her spouse's pithecanthropic
map. Club was grieved and her re-
proaches made him feel guilty, so he
Knocked her down apologetically and
confessed that she was right. He had
been rolling bones with Sweek, the

QUEER MYTH ABOUT WILSON
Belief In Austria That President Of the
United States 10 Really Crown
Prince Rudolph.

According to the Vienna Journal, a
serious newspaper, the rural popula-
tion Of large districts Of the provinces
Of Lower Austria and Styria never be
lieved In the death Of Crown Prince
Rudolph Of Austria. who was assas-
sinated in the castle Of Meyerling. near
Baden. together with Countess Vecs-
cera in 1889.
The people refused to accept this Of
fetal statement, and their suspicion
was nourished at the time by the fact
that the coffin Of the crown prince at
the funeral was extremely small, while
the crown prince himself was q power
fui man.
The story went that the crown
prince had really not been murdered
at all. but that he had fed across the
big pond.
Ever since the war there Is a grow
lng belief among the rural population
that the crown prince. who. as will
be- remembered. was addicted to scien-
tific researches. is identical with Prof.
Woodrow Wilson. president Of the
United States Of America.
The remarkable thing is that there
Is an evident optimism as the future
Of Austria connected with the legend,
for the people say 1t Is plain that Will
son being Crown Prince Rudolph, will
not let his beloved Austria perish.

KNEW NOTHING ABOUT TOYS
Little Ones Of Palestine Grew Up
Without Seeing q Doll Until
Armenians Brought Some.

Ever since the outbreak of the war.
the children of Palestine have been
without toys. and whole generation
Is growing up that has not even
''mothered" a doll. The miseries that
have all but overwhelmed the city Of
Jerusalem have robbed even the boys
of any inclination to play. except now
and then pathetic imitation of foot
ball as INDUCED in by the British
''Tomrnies" of General Allenby's lib
Grating army. So writes Miss Libby
OppeDheim, New York girl. who is
the secretary OF the American Zionist
medical unit which is now operating
in Palestine.
Miss Oppenheim was charged with
the task Of distributing contribu-
ton of toys which accompanied one
of the clothes shipments sent recently
to the Holy land by the Palestine sup
plies department Of the Zionist or
ganization Of America. The toys were
distributed to the kindergartens. the
schools. the orphanages and to the two
children's hospitals in Jerusalem and
Jaffa.
Miss Oppenheim personally took
some Of the toys to the girls orphan
age, and she describes the scene that
transpired. I'VE first explained the
toys to Mrs. s. the head of the or
phanage and to her assistant. Mrs.
s. then assembled the children In
one room and told them to cover their
eyes. as she had surprise for them.
''Then she and her assistant brought
In few toys at time and placed
them on table. The children's pa
tience could not last until all the toys
were brought in. but when. through
the corners OF their eyes, they saw a
few of the toys they were almost be-
side themselves with JOY.

RAN TRUE TO FORM
Nothing Really Remarkable About
This Tree.
conslderine Its Variety and the Place
Whence u Comes, II Could
Hardly Avoid Having .
Criminal Nature.

rhe Boston Globe. In its "Odd Items
column. prints an item about a tree
which absorbed some Of a rail fence
We have lost the item. SO We dOn't
know where this tree was. or Is, but
II couldn't have been anywhere near
Harmony. Me-, says the Lewiston Jour.
nal. II II had. the owner never would
have had the nerve to mention II In
the face OF the remarkable perform
ances OF tree that stood on the land
Of relative Of ours.
Our relative had been soldier In
bis youth, and when he bought this
farm he brought to 1t number Of
shrubs, trees and flowers collected
In his wanderings about the earth.
This particular tree Of which I speak
was Of the Thievohunnish variety. and
came from Prussia.
II grew rapidly after II was set out
and crowded out all other growing
stun for 20 feet around. In ten years
II was three feet through. and In Is.
four feet through mt the base.
The peculiar thing about this tree
was not Its rapid growth, however.
Let us explain. Our relative built q
barhed.wire fence by this tree and to
save driving a post nailed II to the
tree. Well. the ends Of the fence be-
gan to disappear. Our relative thought
someone was shipping of the ends OF
the wire for some reason. His wife
was Of the opinion that the wire had
too much wool In It and was shrinking
In the dews and rains. In any case
from 10 to 20 feet Of the wire wou'd
disappear every night.
My relative finally gnve II up. and In
about two weeks the wire had dIsap-
peared entirely and the mystery was
greater than ever. We simply couldn't
trace II.
Then we began TO miss articles left
near the tree. A hired man left 4
scythe In Its branches one night. TIE
next morning It was gone.
Some one left pail near by and
that disappeared.
Finally the matter was brought to 4
climax when the blooded bull calf
which had been tied to stake near
this tree vanished during the night.
About this time my relative noticed
that there seemed to be an extrnneous
growth Of some sort Of about six feet
above the butt of the tree. He began
to have his suspicious about this tree.
He determined to sacrifice the tree to
satisfy his curiosity. He got an AZ
and chopped II down. Inside the tree
was the scythe. hundreds Of yards Of
barbed wire. the partially dismem-
hered carcass Of the calf. pals. stones.
4 pair of overalls. one overshoe and
many other articles.
The tree had criminal nature and
developed kleptomaniac streak.
Everyone was glad to see that tree
cut down.
