WHAT SHAPE HAS MOTH HOLE?
On This by No Means Simple Question
Hangs Result of an Omaha
Lawsuit.

On whether moth makes an oblong
hole or round holHwhen he sinks his
molars into the uMfe succueht por-
tons of dads last winter overcoat or
sisters summer furs hinges law suit
in Justice Collins court, brought by
an Omaha store against Miss Jose
phine Hin of Council Bluffs. The store
seeks to enforce payment for an $50
suit which Miss Hill is alleged to
have purchased, says the WorId-Her-
aid.
According to the girls testimony, a
week after she bought the suit she
found moth hole in it. She returned
1t to the store. The suit was mended
and given back to her with instruc-
tons to wear it 80 days and bring it
back at the END of that time if not
satisfactory.
Miss Hill testified she wore the suit
for 30 days, placing it carefully on a
hanger in her closet each night. At the
end of the specified period, examina-
ton, she said, revealed not one but
whole community of holes. She re-
fused to pay for the suit, and the store
took the case into court.
After one clerk for the store told the
court the holes complained of couldn't
be meth holes, because any self-re-
spective moth eats round hole, while
those under discussion were distinctly
oblong, and after Miss Hill had made
an exhibition of the holes and another
clerk had suggested that Miss Hill
might have worn the holes in the
skirt by rubbing against her type
writer desk, Justice Collins looked
wise and took the matter under adj
visement

New Glass Industry.

Important developments are eventu-

in consequence of the discovery of a
very large deposit of granulite, sub
stance of much value in the manufac-

'granulite contains not only silica, but
potash, soda and alumina, which are
necessary in glass making, and its use
is not only economical, but gives the
best results in the production of glass

stated that an experimental furnace
has been in use for some time, two
others are being constructed, and it is

TERM THAT BENISHED ANGER

Maids" Put Further Animosity
Out of the Question.

The two Elton sisters, age thirty and
thirty-two and very successful business
women, live next door to the Smith
sisters, about fifty and fifty-two, who
are also retired and given to the occu-
pations of crocheting and quilt piec-
ing. The Elton sisters speak of them
selves as "old maids" and the Smith
sisters as ''pesky old maids" in order
to distinguish between them. Also
they are given to much plying of the
second-class ladies.
But the other evening one Of the
Elton sisters, clad in a bungalow
apron, was out sprinkling the lawn.
AS she moved around the house she
heard the Smiths in conversation.
"Yes, sister. age has its compensa-
tions," one was saying. "Now look
at those girls next door. They no
sooner get home than they get into
those aprons, so scanty that they are
immodest. Of course, they're just
kids, but still"
That was enough for Miss Elton.
With q rush she was in the house.
"Oh, Grace" she told her sister,
breathlessly, "those Smiths are real
nice. We've got to stop calling them
pesky old maids"
And now generously the Eltons
speak of them as "the other old
maids"

Fla.ttery.

II Is impossible to tell the whole
truth to an average human being and
still to remain on terms of friendship
with him. There is little friendship
without make-believe. If two men are
close friends. you may take II that
they have been pretending to CON
siderably higher estimate of each 9TH
er than they would set down In a per.
fectly honest diary.
1t Is not necessary that they should
deliberately lie to one another. but
they must discreetly conceal a certain
amount Of the criticism that is going
on all the time behind the bones of
their skulls.
What is said In spirit of truth is
set down to malice. Can a man be
your friend If he steals the crown
from your head? Can he be your
friend even II he steals q single Jewel
from your crown-especially the paste
jewel? We have all-the greatest and
the meanest of us-paste jewels In our
crowns. VIII true friend point them
out to world that is already over
much inclined to scoff? Or will he
not rather organize a claque that will
pretend to be dazzled by diamonds?
Man is not only realist. He is also
lover of romance. He dreams of
what he would be quite as often as he
deplores what he is. He cannot help
being attracted by people who make
his dream appear true. There are
some men who are such intense ego
lists that they can believe In the truth
Of their dreams without any assistance
from other people. Southey agreed
that his "Madoc" was "tbe best Eng
fish poem since Paradise Lost"
There was no need to tell him so !;
he knew 1t already.-New Statesman,

1t is said that the first man to under
was Silas W. Steggs of San Francisco,
who inherited 100000 from his uncle
in 1865, and not being used to handling
money in large quantities, started in
