A BOGUS OTHELLO.

"She loved me for the dangers had passed,
and / loved her that she did pity them" was the
explanation of his eourtshp given by Othello to
the Venetian senator's when accused of having used
witchcraft TO win Desdemona.
Patrick J. Kelly, Irish barrister and graduate of
oxford also won a bride by his narratives. But it
turns that his narratives of dangers he
had not passed" and today the former Miss Opal

Mankind--especally womankind--is inclined to
hero worship. We don't need Carlyle's word for
it; the history OF the race from the cave period
down, shows it. The unfortunate part of the thing
is that impressiOnable sub debs unlike Bra

UNCLE WIGGITY AND THE
WHITE MARKS.

Come on, Uncle Wiggily! Come
on!" cried Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy
to the bunny gentleman in his hoI-
low stump bungalow one morning.
Don't you want to help me?'
what is it now, wash morning?
And do you want me to help put
up the line?" asked the bunny
gentleman, as he slid down the BAN

Indeed I shall be most happy
to helpi" spoke Uncle Wiggily.
Then giving his pink nose an extra
twinkle or two, so it wouldn't be
cold and shivery when he went out
doors, the bunny rabbit gentleman
took some bread crumbs from the
table and began to help Nurse Jane
feed the birds.
A flock Of sparrows and STAR

they had not been able to find any
seeds that morning.
Uncle Wiggily crushed some
dried bread in his paw and tossed
the crumbs out on the snow. AS he
did this he noticed one bird, differ

down of fthe fence and begin to

There are three and a half cups
of sugar to a pound. The house

CHINA COMES INTO HER OWN.

Americas best friend in the Orient-China--
has been admitted to the council of the league of
nations
With a population of 1000 600, China is cer-
tainly entitled to a seat in the council, if any
Asatic nation is, And from the American view
point, her presence there is likely to be helpful,
tending, it WILL to counteract the influence of
the Japanese delegation.
For many years the United States has main
tanned excellent diplomatic relations with China.
Returning missionaries have many good words to
say concerning the people and their attitude to-
ward Americans. The Chinese character is docile
and neutrality-suspicious. too much so-and the
business integrity of the people is reported to
be the wonder of Occidental tourists.
After the injustice that was done to her in the
Shantung affair, 1t is but right that China should
have voice in the league of nations, by which
she protect herself against similar occurrences
in the future.

1t did seem so. No one of the other
animals were going Uncle Wiggily's
way, and in the dark he could not
find the path to his hollow stump
bungalow.
But, all of sudden, there APP
peared out of the darkness in front
of Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane,
two white marks, side by side, and
q voice said:

safely home"
"Who are you?" asked the bunny.
"The Junco,p was the answer. 81

on ahead and you can follow the
white marks of my tail"
"Oh, joy!" cried Nurse Jane. So
she and the bunny followed the
white marks, which they could
plainly see in the dark, and soon
they were safely home. The Junco
had helped them because they
gave him crumbs. And IL the Jump

How to Cook Fried Cakes.-1t
is best to use an aluminium, SOAP
stone or steel griddle, and not to
oil it--as the cakes are more di-
gestible if grease or oil is not used
in cooking them. The griddle
should simply be rubbed off occa-
sionally with bag containing
salt. Many persons, however, pre-
fer a fried flavor to their cakes,
and in this case the griddle should
be oiled by a swab or cloth tied
onto a skewer. Lard, drippings,
bacon fat or any of the vegetable
oils may be used, but butter or
oleomargarine burn too quickly to
be employed for this purpose.
Cakes are ready to turn when they
are full of bubbles.

THE SORT OF MAN HE WAS.

This is the sort of man was he;
True when it hurt him lot to be;
Tight in corner an KNOWN lie
Would have helped him out, but he wouldn't buy
His freedom there in cheap way
He told the truth though he had to pay.
Honest Not in the easy sense,
When he needn't worry about expense
Wen all play square when it doesn't count
And the sum at stakes not large amount
But he was square when the times were bad,
An keepin' his word took all he had
Honor is something all profess
But most OF cheat-some more, some less
An the real test isn't what do
When there isn't a pinch in either shoe,
It's whether we're true to ours best or not
When the right things certain to hurt lot.
That is the sort of man was he.
Straight when it hurt him lot to be;
Times when lie would have paid him WELL
No matter the cost, the truth he'd tell;
An he'd rather go down to drab defeat
Than to save himself if he had to cheat.

the stock exchange today was per-
functory to an unusual degree, the
greatly reduced dealings represent
| ing little more than the efforts of
professional interests to strengthen
their position on the short side of
| the account.
The maneuvers were moderately
successful so FAR as they had to do
with issues of the speculative or
volatile variety but in other quar-
ters notably among high grade
rails and industrials, not much
Roadway was made.
Constructive elements again were
wholly lacking. aside from the
relative steadiness of money rates
and surprising strength of the for
eign exchange market. especially
sterling but these were ignored and
played no part as helpful factors.
Passing of the United States food
products dividend and reduction of
the Vanadium corporations dis
bursement reminded the financial
community with increasing en-
phasis of existing and impending
condltlonS.
Final prices, however. showed
impairment among the oils. steels
and equipments. Sales amounted
to 100000 shares.
A very large proportion of the
days trading was compressed in
less than half score of stocks
notably United States Steel, Cruel
BILE Steel, Baldwin Locomotive,
Mexican Petroleum and affiliated
shares. Excepting Southern Pa
cific and Reading, dealings in rails
were light with an uncertain trend.
Unlike yesterday, stocks were
more responsive to the money mar
ket, leaders registering best quota
lions in the last hour, when an
abundance of money was offered
at per cent as against the pre-
vious quotation of 7 per cent.
The bond market was more ac-
