Relic of Primitive Days.

Primitive man wore a collar for or
namentation before he wore much of
anything else, so the stiff collar is not
a modern part of mans attire. In the
fourteenth century neck chains, or civ
cry collars" were worn in England,
symbolizing allegiance to one or an
other feuda1 baron. These collars are
still used in European oficialdom by
orders of knighthood. The collar ruff
fe became the vogue among the rich.
Later, when starch was introduced
from Flanders more people could af-
ford the ruff1es, and they assumed
such proportions that proclamation
was issued against them. Even the
church took steps to reduce their size.
In the United States collars were in
general use in 1850. They stood
straight up and were conducive to
anything but comfort.

RAIL LINE CROSSES OCEAN
Remarkable Trip That Is Taken by
Travellers on Their Way to, Key
West, Florida.

Thousands of Americans at the va
cation time of the year take the only
ocean trip which can be made on a
railroad train, writes "Niksah" In the.
Chicago News. They go to Key West
by way of the line which runs through
the Atlantic ocean on an embankment
built from one to another of those tiny
islands known as the Florida keys.
AS you ride along this remarkable
railroad, you look out the window and
down into the clear shallow water and
see great schools of fish playing near
the surface, and deeper down you can
glimpse now and then the shadowy
form of small shark. On either side
Of you reaches away to the horizon a
vast expanse Of brilliant blue water,
dotted with islands, which vary in size
from fraction of an acre, to perhaps
a quarter Of a square mile. They are
low and fat and covered with low
growing mangrOves, and other swamp
plants. Here and there group of
cOcOnuts or royal palms lifts feath-
cry silhouette. Occasionally a little
shack is glimpsed, and few sails are
seen in the distance, but for the most
part the region is wilderness Of blue
water, white sand and Iow-growing
tungle-a wilderness that you would
love to explore in a small boat.
OF life you see little. Now and then
white fiocks of ibises rise from the is
lands; a tree duck spatters clumsily
away from the train, or a great blue
heron trails his legs in lonely dignity
across the sky. For the most part
silence and sunlight own the place.

HIS VAST WEALTH A CURSE
Sudden Possession Of immense Riches
Too Much for Mental Stability
; Of Mexican Indian.

Confined In an asylum for the insane
In Mexico is a millionaire who never
enjoyed a cent of his fortune, though
for time he had 1t in his possession
In cash. The amazing story of this
man to whom wealth proved a curse,
is told by g. f. Weeks in the Wide
World Magazine.
Juvencio Robes, full-blooded
Mexican Indian, was born in palm
leaf hut in the little town OF PanucO,
inland from Tampico. From earliest
childhood he was forced to work, his
wages amounting to less than so cents
q week. When arrived at manhood he
married and from then on turned his
earnings over to his wife as banker.
For several years he led a colorless
existence, scrimping along day by day
and saving little. Then one day some
friends inveigled him into card game
Fortune was with him and he won
what was a great sum to them, S18.
This he invested in a small butcher
shop. The market thrived and a, few
years later he was able to buy some
land on which to fatten cattle. When
OIL was discovered at Tampico his
ranch was in the heart of the field.
He was offered 100000 pesos and
yearly royalties for the Oil rights on
his land. This he accepted, but de-
manded payment in gold.
The money was delivered to him as
he requested, and from then on his
sole interest in life consisted in guard
ing his. treasure. He slept on box
filed with coins and refused to eat for
fear his family would poison him. At
last his mania reached such a stage that
that it was necessary to have him con-
fined.

surgical dressings. On February,
1918, a rush order came to the
Northern Division for mittens for
the soldiers at Fort Smelling, and as
their share in filing this order the
children of Stevens County were
asked to knit 100 pair of mittens.
The Juniors took special pride in
sending the completed work in a
short time. Mrs. F. A. Hancock was
the first chairman of the Junior Red
Cross, with Mr.. S. A. Siverts, treasur
err. In the fall of 1918, Mr.. Theo-
kdore Utne became chairman and Miss
Carrie L. Slindee, treasurer.
The Home Service Committee has
been in charge of Mr.. Paul Miller,
and later Mr.. G.. W. Beise, the chap
ter chairman. Mrs. J. w. Harris is
now handling the work. During the
period of the war and the year fol-
lowing-or until rehabilitation was
completed-a complete record of all
the service men of the county was
kept by Mrs. F. A. Hancock. This
record has proved invaluable in
making honor rolls, issuing county
certificates, writing the county war
history and in forming membership
of the Legion. Allotment and allow
ance difficulties have been straight
ened out, and advice given to sol
diers and ex-soldiers regarding gov
eminent insurance, disabled ex-sel-

ment when needed.
During the influenza epidemic, the
chapter did a great deal of relief

KIno Buried In Tree Trunk.


When Henry II was in Wales In
lit receiving the submission OF the
princes, he CHANGED to hear the deeds
Of King Arthur sung by the Welsh,
and was told the exact burial place or
the hero Of Glastonbury. Some years
later the abbot of Glastonbury, the
kings nephew, searched for the body,
and found It buried In the trunk OF
tree. beside that of Arthur's queen,
Guinivere. When Glastonbury abbey
was made a ruin in Henry Wis time,
the remains of King Arthur and his
queen were swept away, according to
the London Telegraph. 1t was on
Cadbury hill in Somerset, the famed
Camelot of Arthurian romance, that
the British king prepared FOR his great
stand against the Anglo-Saxons; and
the name of Arthur still clings to the
locality which has become known by
the name of "Arthur's lane" and AR

Vessel Too Bio for Docks.

America, 1t seems, with all her prog
ress in shipbuf1ding, has no dock On
the Atlantic coast suitable for repair
ing a vessel like the Leviathan or the
mperator, says Shipping. When the
Leviathan needed overhauling, she had
to be sent to Liverpool to the big Glad
stone dock. Even there it was neces-
sary to wait for the new and the full
moon to dock and unlock her, as the
highest tide was required to ''boat her
