"A little girl named Lillian" said
Daddy, ''had very sore throat. The
doctor called it tonsilitis, which meant
that her throat was very much
swollen.
"She was in bed for quite number

But after a day or so the very,
very bad soreness went away and she
found there was one sort of very
nice dessert which she could eat most
easily.
AT lunch and at supper she wanted
to have cOrnstarch, or if she didn't
have that she had nice jellies. Some
times she had orange jelly. one day
1t was grape jelly and one day it was
something which made her feel very
important, for she knew that it was
given to invalids. She didn't mind con-

Ancestry Not Collateral.

Ancestral honors are not safe lean
ing post. The leaner usually grows
more lean waiting for providential
bonuses on parental reputation. Some
stocks pay perpetual dividends, but
ancestral fitness often goes to seed in
the spineless scions of modern days.
Natures dividends depend on present
production rather than on records of
what has been. Dads reputation is a
mighty good introduction to the pres
ent busy world, but that busy old globe
won't take long to set her estimate on
you. Try living on the reputation of
the family and it will add an extra
mill to the tax rate to provide for your
future as Il ward of the poor board
Uncle Sam has thousands Of poor dubs

IRE. Learn to lean on yourself and you
won't disgrace the family. Use-don't

Columbus, Jan. II. = Thirty-siX
states will have ratified the national
prohibition amendment by the end of
next week.
This prediction was made by Wayne

Mr.. Wheeler predicted forty-fve and
possibly forty-seven states will have
ratified the amendment before the

Mr.. Wheeler said enough states will
have ratified this week to represent
forty million people. He added:
1--WE are at work now on the law
enforcement code to make the nation
al prohibition amendment effective.
The proposed code will make the ma

tails shivered in the cold.
Its just because it is the first cold
day of the year. said SHARPLY.
""Yes,' agreed Bright Eyes, it al
ways seems colder at first. And the
same is true of the summer
"'You dear, sweet squirrel, said
SHARPLY. How nice of you to talk of the
summer when it is cold. I can almost
imagine am warm again.
EYES, said Bright Eyes, in the
early summer, or the late spring, when
don't know how we are going to stand
the heat. It's because we've been
used to the cold
That's so,' said SHARPLY, that's so.'
"'And,' continued Bright Eyes, we
will get used to the cold. We can't
right away. because we've been used
to the warmth for so long.
And Mr.. Sun isn't shining today.'
said SHARPLY. He makes difference

SHARPLY and Bright Eyes were having

I scampered up it and down it. She
walked very slowly along, holding the

MILLIONS OF
DEAD LETTERS
Car Loads Of Yankees Mail

WAS TIED Up IN FRANCE
Postal Officer Tells of Delay OF Mil
lions of Letters-Onfy Fifty Expert
enced Clerks Sent Abroad.

Washington, Jan. 11.-From eight
to ten carloads of mail for American
soldiers are undelivered in France,
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Praeger told the senate pGstoffice COM
mittee.
thousands and probably millions"
of letters addressed to the men over
seas will arrive in New York soon to
re sent to the dead letter office, where
an attempt will made to return them
to the writer's. he said.
Blame for the failure to deliver this
mail was placed on the war depart
ment, by Mr.. Praeger, who again eX-
planned that the army authorities
handle all soldiers mail in France,
the postoffice department delivering
outgoing mail at Hoboken, and receiv-
ing returning mail at the French
ports. Most of the trouble, he said,
was due to carelessness and the fail
ure of the war department to cooper
ate with the postoffice department.
Mr.. Praeger said one way to i'm
prove conditions overseas would be to
send a force of experienced mail
clerks to France to deliver the mail
to the soldirs.
Members of the committee sought
to ascertain whether there was any
delay at French ports in handling mail
coming to this country.
"The trouble does not lie at the
in the interior The mail gets tied
up somewhere between army head
quarters, censors and the ports
Mr.. Praeger told the committee that
one reason for the confusion in the
delivery of mail to soldiers was the
failure of the war department to keep
up its index system. This same cause,
he declared. also was responsible for
the departments delay in sending out
allotments to soldiers and in reporting
casualties.
Another source of delay in delivery
of the mail promptly, he added, was
the transferring of some units Of
troops from one port to another, but
he said this should cause only few
days delay as the mail could readily
be forwarded to the moving troops.
Asked what facilities the war de-
partlnent had for handling mail, Mr.
Praeger said about fifty experienced
mail clerks We're sent by that depart
ment overseas, while the remainder
of the necessary force for this work
vas made up Of inexperienced men.

Bass Lured by Bright Lioht.

A pair of bullhead fishermen were in
a boat anchored some distance off
Broadway and it was quite dark. An
other boat with two men in it an
chored short distance away and the
men began fishing. The first fish to be
caught was small rock bass. "Give
me that fish," said the other. 1t was
handed to him by the one who caught
1t and he threw it at one Of the men
in the other boat, whom he knew. The
fish whizzed by this mans head and
landed in the boat, on the bottom of
which was a lighted lantern. Gosh :"
said the one who had nearly been hit,
"where did that come from?' Il don't
know" replied his companion. ut

to get near the light" and this story
