some of the same experiences that
the rest Of us have, Judging by the
following item:
"Get it out of your head that
country newspapers need something

time when such long felt want
existed, but never again! The
problem these days is for country
newspapers to find room for the le-

that must run. This reflection is
occasioned by a mans bringing The

A STRIKING CONTRAST

The Railroad Administration, con-
trolling properties worth over $780,
900, 000,0 900, and the handling of
which bears closely on the prosper
ity of the entire country, propose to
spend $1,O0O,OO0 in advertising for
passenger travel. The tea associa-
tons of the United States, with a
view to increasing the consumption
of tea, propose to spend 100000
in an advertising campaign, and one
sugar company is to spend $780,
600, so it is reported, to advertise its
brands of sugar.
The National Government controll-
ing the railroads with their $4,000
100000 of investments prepares to
spend $1,O00,O00 for advertisement,
the tea dealers will go to $4,000, 900
in their advertising Campaign, and
one sugar company $2,500,OO0!

Ancestry Not Collateral.

Ancestral h0nors 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 ole 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 ward of the poor board.
Uncle Sam has thousands Of poor dubs
who thought they were more than they
are. Learn to lean on yourself and you
won't disgrace the family. Use-don't
abuse the ancestral brains.--Pennsyl-

DUBLIN BOOTBLACKS IN 1880
bination Of Lampblack and
Rotten Eggs.

Among the populace Of Dublin In
1880 the shOeblacks were a numerous
and formidable body. The polish they
used was lampblack and eggs, for
which they purchased all that were
rotten in the markets. Their nipple
ments consisted of three-legged stool,
a basket containing blunt knife,
called a spudd, a painters brush and
an old wig.
A gentleman usually went out in the
morning with dirty boots or shoes,
sure to find a shoeblack sitting on his
stool at the corner Of the street. The
gentleman put his foot in the lap of
the shOeblack without ceremony, and
the artist scraped it with his spudd,
wiped it with his wig and then laid on
his composition as thick as black paint
with his painters brush.
The stuff dried with rich polish, re-
quiring no friction, and little inferior
to the elaborated modern fluids, save
only the intOlerable odOrS eXhaled from
eggs in a high state C putridity, and
which filled any house which was en-
tered before the composition was quite
dry, and sometimes even tainted the
air of fashionable drawing rooms

Plavinn blackboard.

Do you know what blackboard ISL
It's a kind of a game first played in
q primitive and mild sort Of fashion
by Rocky mountain goats and since
modernized and made difficult by the
American army. The apparatus on
which one plays blackboard is mixed
breed continuance, by dashboard out
of Corduroy Road, to use the racing
vernacular. 1t is made up Of narrow,
slippery strips of rounded wood laid
crOsswise about two inches apart, and
is supposed to keep ones feet out or
the mud. 1t does While playing duck
board ones feet are usually in the air.
It is called blackboard, suppose, be-
cause of some silly belief that duck
could walk it without falling. Even
airplanes flying at a height of less
than 5000 feet have been seen to wig
gle and dip drunkenly while passing
above trench lines fieored with duck
boards. And when it is laid upon the
surface Of the earth and there are no
handy trench walls to help Out-well,
it's lucky for Charley Chaplin that the
wide world didn't see me operate.
Nothing could ever again be funny to
a man who saw me play blackboard out
there in the comparative open of that

WAS GIFT TO QUEEN VICTORIA
First Pekingese Dog Brought to Gu
rope Present From the EN-
press Of China.

Pekingese dogs have been known to
the western world little more than
half century. During the footing Of
the imperial palace at Picking. an Eng
lish soldier picked up a dog belong
ing to the empress. Her attendants
attacked the Tommy en- masse. He
suggested that the dog be sent as a
gift from the empress to Queen VIC
toria.
The plan was agreed to and the
dog was sent to Buckingham palace,
where he was known as Looty. Other
dogs took exception to his appear
ance and made him wish he were back
in China. When the prince and
princess of Wales returned from a
trip to the continent, the princess per-
suaded the queen to let her take him
to her home at Sandringham. The
princess thought Looty's loneliness
should be ended, since he couldn't
make friends with any English dog,
so she sent to China for mate Of
his own kind.
The fad started by the princess was
taken up by London society and
the breeding of Pekingese dogs be-
came so popular that London dog
shows have sometimes been devoted
exclusively to the new type.

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 a small rock bass. Give
me that fish," said the other. 1t was
handed to him by the one who caught
it 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 lighted lantern. @Gosh ~

SENSE OF SMELL WONDERFUL
Olfactory Nerves Capable Of Doing
Work That Can Only BE Called
Marvellous.

1t is said that the tenth part of a
grain of musk will continue for years
to fill room with it's odoriferous par
ticles, and that at the end of that time
it will not be appreciably diminished
in weight.
A cubic inch of air arising from the
flame of Bunsen burner has been es-
timated to contain no fewer than
48O,OOO,OOO dust particles.
A drop of blood that might be sus-
pended from the point of a needle
contains about 100000 red corpus
cles.
Yet, although matter is so marvel
ously divisible, the olfactory nerves
are infinitely more sensitive. Much
yet remains to be investigated with
reference to these nerves which will
discriminate with such apparent mirac-
ulous accuracy.

IT IS not the young fellow who speeds
along the boulevards comfortably
couched in his low, rakish roadster who
is the automobile spendthrift of today.
The motor extravaganza of the Ameri-
can Indian dwarfs that of his city
cousin by wide margin, according to
representatives of the B. F. Goodrich
Rubber Co. who travel in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Indians are generously shar-
ing their tremendous prosperity in oil
aid minerals with the automobile deal
ers and the tendency of the red man is
toward the high powered, expensive
car rather than the lowiy, small auto
mobile. In Ralston, town of $50 in
habitants located between the Usage
and Pawnee districts, one dealer sold
PIP automobiles during 1918. One In
dian bought 13 cars in twelve months,
and according to the tire statesmen, dis
carded one of his new medium priced
autos because the muff1er was broken,
swapping it and $3.50 ''to boot" for a
certain we'll known low priced motor
vehicle. Many of the braves will
have nothing bat the best of cord tires.
Indians are realizing staggering for
tunes from the mineral wealth of their
lands in Oklahoma. Oscar Hardin, a
Quapaw Indian millionaire, for some
time after he got his allotment of 240
acres in 1896 is remembered by old res
idents as a ragged Indian who drove a
pair of ponies hitched to a rattletrap
wagon and who wandered about the
country without q dollar. Today Har-
din is lead and zinc mining king and
owns twenty farms scattered over Ok
lahoma and Kansas Nearly every In
dian family is prospect for the auto
mobile salesman. One tribe, the
Osages, get royalties and bonuses from
oil lands and government payments
averaging $4,000 per year per capita
thus family of five would have an in
come of 5000 a year. Some get as
high as $50, 900 per year and some hun
dreds of thousands

CALLED FOR QUICK THINKING
Skipper Of Burning Ship, With Cargo
Of High Explosives, in No Posi-
ton to Hesitate.

The CephalOnia was deeply loaded
with shells, and her chill-rooms were
filed with T. N. T. for the Italian
army, writes r.. e. Cropley In the At
lantic. She was well In the midst
of the convoy proceeding down the
Thames, and had just passed beyond
the submarine net. when thin pencil
Of smoke was seen to rise from the
corner of No. 1 hatch. 1t happened
to catch the third officers eye first.
and ne called Sammy'S attention to 1t.
In two shakes Sammy had sounded
four blasts on the siren, and a flag
fiuttered from the yard-arm, which
caused all other ships to give him a
wide berth, as the propeller Of the
Cephalonia churned up the sea in her
frantic effort to back and turn as if
to return to London. A ship on fire
should return to port, but Sammy, with
a cargo of T. N. T. wasn't the kind Of
q skipper to risk blowing cottages and
Riddles into the next world In an eff
fort to save his own skin. No; he
turned the Cephalonia till her stern
was head to the breeze, and slowly
kept her backing seward to restrain
the fire, If possible. from spreading
aft to his chambers of T. N. IT,;
backed her away from port and other
ships, so that, If she did blow up, the
military loss would be confined to the
Cephalonia alone. And all the while
he was wondering what moment u
boat would pop up and send a torpedo
into him, or he would strike drift
ing mine.

time to relief work since the war be-

was ILL.
"No," she said, these are tears OF
