Contentious Never Popular.

The wise man in Israel has truly
said: "a fools lips enter into conten-
ton" and the contentious fool is as
common nuisance today as he was
no doubt in the olden ones. Usually
in proportion to their lack of actual
knowledge do such persons presume
to set themselves up as dictators to
others.-Exchange.

A Vienna newspaper prints story to
the effect that among the superstitious
peasantry of the Tyrol the belief has taken
root that President Wilson is none other
than the Crown Prince Rudolph, son of the
late Emperor Francis Joseph. The
Crown Prince, so the myth runs, was not
killedin the famous tragedy of the castle
of Myerling, back in 1889, but merely kid
mapped by his enemies and dummy was
buried in his stead. Later, SO the story
goes, he succeeded in escaping to America,
where he assumed the name of Woodrow
Wilson, and rose evtually to the presi-
dency. FIJI
