His suggestion.

1.-THE majority of people In and
around Wayoverbehind declined to set
their clocks ahead, and are still going
by old time," said Farmer Hornbeak.
"It seems to me that government
commission should be appointed to in
vestigate the matter. Those of us
who are outraged by the refusal Of
those moss-grown procrastinators to
act in harmony with us will feel that
we are going to be avenged, and the
commission will move so slowly that
1t will not be ready to commence to
do anything until after the time has
been changed back again, and then
there will be no cause for action. Ac-
cordingly those nonprogressive but en-
tirely worthy persons will not be dis
turbed, and the rest of US will have
the happy consciousness of having
done our whole duty when we shouted
into their affairs.-Kansas City Star.

How would you like to have six
prisoners, whom you were guarding
and who apparently had no means Of
escape, suddenly disappear from sight.
and to all appearances from the face
of the earth? f. rls~T. st2...- e
Such was the experience of Sew
enth infantryman on guard not long
ago. " " 90 d.
According to the guards own story,
he was in charge of six prisoners who
were digging a hole near the rear of
the Liberty hall at Andernach. On
three sides we're walls of such height
that It'd would be impossible for the
prisoners to scale them. On the re-
naming side was the guard. bayonet
fixed and ever on the alert for disor-
ders among his charges.

walls, was sure that they had not
passed me, and yet in the fraction of
second they had disappeared from
sight"
Visions of serving the sentences of
the. six fugitives flashed through the
mind of the guard. Then he decided
that some action must be taken, and
taken Immediately. He rushed to the
edge of the hole and peered into its
depths. At first he found no clew to
the mystery. Then in one corner OF
the excavation he saw few loose
bricks and an opening into what
seemed to be an underground passage
way. With one jump he reached this
opening, and showing his gun and bay
onet ahead of him, he crowded his
way along narrow brick-lined tun-
mel. A few steps along this and he
found himself in large cellar, amply
stocked with ancient vintages from
the vineyards along the Rhine.

Fired by Hertzian Waves.

While the plan of using electric
waves at will to blow up powder
magazine or cause other destruction
is an idle dream, G.. A. Leroy has sat
isfied himself that fires have been set
by Hertzian waves, and he has
brought to the notice Of the French
academy an instrument for testing the
effects of these invisible radiations.
A bale of compressed cotton is an ex-
ample of a material coming within
common experience that may be fired
accidentally. The steel band hold
ing such a bale may be broken with
the ends left separate but near
enough together for an electric spark
to pass between them, or short spark
might pass from band on one bale to
that on another bale piled close. The
cotton might be ignited by such
sparks.

Cigarette Rings.

Aristocratic women in London are
wearing gem ring cigarette holders.
It's the very latest wrinkle. The rings
are advertised in British magazines
as made by his majesty's jeweler. You
have to be aristocratic or plutocratic
TO wear one, because they cost from
$3.50 to $500 apiece.
The rings are gold or platinum, set
with precious stones. You press
tfny catch on the side and up springs
a dainty metal finger with circlet at
the end through which you insert your
cigarette and then puff away. The
women wear the rings on their fore
fingers. The holder, according to the
advertisements. prevents nicotine
from coloring the fingers. So far the
rings haven't reached this country,
but American jewelers. expect the fad
will soon appear on this side of the
water.

GET BUSY AND QUIT WHINING
Imagination Plays an Almighty Big
Part in That Supposed
"All-In" Feeling.

We can always do little more than
we think ourselves capable of doing.
The man who says he is "all In" is
not; for if he were he would be
speechless. If you have energy to adj
vertise your exhaustion you have en-
ergy enough to go little further. Mr..
Man comes home to be sOothed and
petted in domestic asylum of peace;
he is tired and he wants everybody to
know it. Maybe it is firing work to
create that home and keep it going.
Man and wife might as well agree that
both are workers.
Indeed, the resiliency of the woman
who has looked well to the ways of
her household is surprising. With a
change of raiment and a flower she
transforms herself into fresh, cool
vision in the eyes of the lord and
master who comes home wilted and
grouchy. ",
He thinks he is the sole Garner, the
sole producer. The difference is that
she works for love and pride and he
works for the coin of the realm. If
she received the salary she is worth
he would have to file petition in
bankruptcy.
The work is a good cure for the
overworked. If nervous man gets
busy enough he is likely to find to
his dismay that he has forgotten
about his nerves. He has bereaved
himself of a darling hobby, a pet
selfish luxury. For it has ever been
a chief amusement of mankind to
count ones symptoms on ones fingers
day by day, as If they were blessings.
The ancient and honorable game of
hypochondria is older and more popu-
lar than golf. AS soon as Adam was
provided with partner she became an
audience for his list Of grievances.
Some people NOPE along for years
as though one good foot in the grave
deserved another, whereas life would
not hurt and grieve them a bit more
If they marched head up and smiling.
It isn't the variety Of things that are
the matter with you that makes you
interesting. It's what you contribute
to the common fund of courage and
good cheer and ready service.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

Certain instances Of birds found
singly far to the north Of their usual
range are possibly to be explained by
the whirl Of our cyclonic storms. The
wind, turning counter-clockwise, blows
off shore in the south and carries the
bird out to sea. But sooner or later, If
the bird has the good fortune to last
out the experience. the farther spin
of the storm tends to bring him ashore
again.
