deI's office. M. Emile L0ubet. former
president Of the French republic, pa
tiently waiting the pleasure Of the
chief of cabinet.
In the meantime another deputy,
equally influential, was ushered into
Mr.. Mandel's Office. The latter
harangued him as he had done his fell
low member, and the messenger again
interrupted, this time with a letter.
with. your permission" said the
chief Of cabinet, as he broke the seal
and read the missive. Then turning
to the messenger, "Tell him that have
not a moment to spare, and hand him
this from me-" And he gave the man
a small box which he took out Of one
Of the drawers of the historic desk.
Never Sleeps, Eats or Drinks.
A few moments later the deputy
noticed in the waiting room a little
old man who was offering some cigars
from the box which had been sent him
to the employees Of the Office. AS he
did so he kept repeating to the mes
senger, "Tell monsieur that he is very
kind, very kind indeed.
"Who is that man!' asked the dep
uty when the little old man had gone
his way. The imperturbable messenger
replied, THAT is Mr. Rothschild, Mr..
Mandel's father"
A third deputy, as influential as the
other two, one day was present at the
following dialogue in the Office Of the
chief Of cabinet:
Messenger-The president Of the
council and General MordacQ are
about to go out. They would like to
know II Monsieur has anything to say
to them.
Mr.. Mandel (after an instant's re-
flection)-No, gave them my In
structions this morning.
The astonished deputy glanced at
Mr.. Mandel, but the latter looked quite
as usual, serious and unsmiling.
A fourth deputy offers the follow
ing psychological sketch of Mr.. Man
del:
"He is man who never sleeps, who
never eats, who never drinks, who
writes nothing, who has no interest In
women, and who takes q telephone to
bed with him."

OF How Cabinet Chief Does Busl-

II seems to be the fashion In France,
nowadays. to dispute the origin of mas
terpieces, and lately the columns OF
the leading papers have been animated
with letters from wise men on the sub
ject Of the authenticity of Moliere's
plays. Some claim that certain of the
works Of Frances greatest playwright
are In reality from the hand of Cor
nellie. The next question In order
would seem to be, "Who wrote Cor
neille's playsF Without going into
the intricacies Of literary discussion,
which In the present crisis might be
deemed beside the mark, II is perhaps
permissible TO inquire If the political
accomplishments of NJ. Clemenceau
are really to be credited to his genius
or IL they are inspired by another
brain than his, for instance, that OF
st. Mandel. writes Julian Harris in
the New York Herald.

In the midst Of his remarks a mes
senger came in and handed the emf
nent chief of Clemenceau's personal
cabinet the card of visitor. Annoyed
at the interruption, Mr.. Mandel with
a weary gesture inquired, what does
this person want?"
Before the messenger could hazard
a reply the card was returned to him
with the following instructions :-"T
have no time for him. Take this card
to M. Clemenceau, president of the
council"
The messenger bowed and withdrew
and Mr.. Mandel continued his mono
logue. But In a few moments the
messenger returned with the news
that the caller insisted upon seeing the
chief of the personal cabinet himself.
The latter shrugged his shoulders as
he replied: LET him wait"
Upon which he again took up the
thread Of his discourse. The deputy
listened. approved. and finally recon-
mended his elector. as he withdrew
from the chiefs presence. On his way

FIVE DOLLARS A QUART
Modest Price Fixed fer Whale Milk
by Captain Loop.

by Captain Loop.
Five dollars quart--not cent
less-would be the price he would ask
for whales milk if he established a
whale dairy, according to Capt. John
B. Loop, a sea mammal expert Of
Long Beach, near Los Angeles, CAL,
who recently returned from a whale
hunt in Mexican Pacific waters.
Captain Loop has not determined,
however, to establish a whale dairy
he merely made that announcement
because Arthur de ELI of 6O7 North
Eighteenth street, Omaha, Neb., who
had heard of the seaman's knowledge
OF whales and of q small cargo Of
the lacteal fluid of leviathans that
he recently brought to southern Cali
fornia, sent q request "reserving" a
sample Of the milk.
Captain Loop said he would send a
sample to Mr.. de Ell.
He permitted members Of the B. p.
o. Elks to sample the whale milk he
took to Long Beach. They declared
II richer and more palatable than that
Of cows.
The captain, who has contributed
much interesting information to the
general knowledge Of whales, says the
first thing to do in order to obtain the
milk of one is to catch the whale. He
has not made public how he does 1t.

OWL NO BEDFELLOW
Parrot Ran Away When Owner Want
ed Him to Sleep With IL.

Eustace, a South American parrot,
ran away from his home in Hayward,
CAL, because his owner wanted him
to sleep with a tame owl. He tied
up a street car, scared a crew out OF
seven years optimism and aroused a
block Of residents before his spirit of
adventure died out and he could be
induced to go home.
Eustace belongs to Martin Mervin,
musician. Mervin was given a tame
owl. All birds look alike to him, and
he bedded the owl In the parrots cage.
The parrot chartered his objections
but the owl stared at him In adenoid
reprOach and calmly went to sleep on
his side OF the perch, which swings In
a summer house. Whereupon Eustace
made his own plans.
At ten o'clock car crew was re-
versing trolley for return trip to
Oakland, when they heard wild shrieks
and yells from under the wheels.
"Great heavensw shouted the con-
ductor. We've run over child or
womani"
The conductor ran from house to
house, arousing citizens to get help.
Automobile parties halted. Finally
one autoist turned his spotlight under
the car. There, perched on truss
rod was Eustace engaged in leaving
home and shrieking his derision OF
owls, owners and the world in general.
Mervin. who was among those
awakened, finally dragged his parrot
from under the car by his gaudy tail
feathers and gave him an owlless
perch. and the night turned quiet
again. Eustace apeared at reveille

Wisconsin indians Worship
Idol in University Museum;
Annual Offerings Are Made

Even though Christianity has been
adopted among the majority Of the In.
dams of Wisconsin for years the gods
Of their fathers" are still reverenced.
according to DR.. II. Rieder Of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin.
Doctor Rieder relates that members
OF the tribe of Chlppewas visit the
university museum every year to lay
before grotesque stone figure their
offerings of skins. meat, and other
food In the manner of their ancestors.
who placated such Idols. by offerings
yearly.
Doctor Reder told how q millionaire
Of Chicago, whose summer home is in
Wisconsin. found the idol while hunt
ing several years ago. He took ii to
Chicago as curiO and later was Wis.,
tied by n delegation Of Indians. who
demanded the return OF the stone fig
ure to Wisconsin.
The finder refused. and after severai
attempts had been made 10 steal the
image. he became afraid and secretly
sold the stone 10 the museum.
Emissaries of the Chippewas. II Is
said. watched the image until II was
placed In the museum. where they de-
clared that they were satisfied TO have
II remain. as long as 1t was in the
hands OF the state and on Wisconsin
soil.
Doctor Rieder says the Pueblo type

the earth was ball Of fire; the In

Of Wisconsin and the Mississippi val

PoIiteness Well Defined
BY Three Eminent Persons

Many definitions Of politeness have
been given by learned and able men
and are to be found scattered through
literature. Here are three short ones,
each from an eminent man: Sidney
Smith says that 'politeness is good ma
ture regulated by good sense" Ma
caulay writes: "Poflteness has been
well defined as benevolence in small
things" He did not originate this def
inition. but he gives It his approval.
Chesterfield claims that politeness
simply consists In treating others just
as you love to be treated yourself AS
to the practice of pollteness, the phil
osopher, Bacon, wrote: "The wise are
polite all the world over; fools are po-
lite only at home"

County Fair
School Work
Now Truly Representative of the
Work in Our County.

In the olden days, teachers used to
complain that the exhibits at the county
fair or any kind of closing day exhibits
were not truly representative of the
school work. II was merely display
work, was extra work, and was Sc
lected work. To some extent this still
holds true but there has been a big
Improvement.
In olden days the text book formed
the basis of amount to be learned in
any one subject in a given time. Now
we know that this would be poor policy
and the course Of study plans the syn
opsis of work to be done. Thus it is
possible for number of schools to be
using different texts but following the
same line Of work. The daily work
may differ but the sum and total repre-
sents pretty much the same standard
and usually about the same in amount.
If one of the old fashioned premium
lists were given to the teachers, any
one could get up some sort of an ex-
hibit but it would interfere with the
regular work, and would no doubt
even though helpful to some extent
be open to all the criticisms above
given. But with new list based on
the course of study, which all schools
are following, all teachers may present
display of the written work of the
school which is both representative
and helpful.
How much more true is this when
the teachers add to this list their own
suggestions and interpretations of the
course of study and revise this list
with the little individual experiments
which have proved successful in their
own schools? This is what the teachers
have done during the past month. The
rural teachers have taken last years
list, compiled from the course of study
and combined war-work, have crossed
out the entries that are not of practical
value to their own pupils, have added
suggestions that they wish to see in
corporated, and sent the lists to Miss
Stewart. A new list was then made,
following the majority of suggestions
and was, during the past week, mailed
to all rural teachers for planning town.
ship days in May and June.
The three city superintendent-Mr.
Craig of Charlevoix, Mr.. Keyworth of
East Jordan, and Mr. Metcalf of Boyne
City, have made similar corrections on
last years city lists. They have taken
the lists to the heads of departments in
the different subjects and asked for
entries, that will show just what is
being done. With such plan, next
years exhibit should be truly repre-
sentative, and valuable.
