APPEALED TO HIGHER COURT
German Engineer to Laugh at
Government Regulations.

If government refuses q passport
there IS a higher authority that may
be appealed to in certain cases, as
demonstrated by the recent experience
of a German engineer This author
1ty Is no less parsonage than Dan
Cupid himself.
The German engineer was preparing
to marry and the wedding day was
set, the Paris Journal des Debats
states. At the last moment it was
discovered that the bride-to-be had
not obtained a passport, and as she
lived in a neighboring country there
was no possible way for her to get
into Germany at the hour appofh5ed
for the ceremony.
Rather than postpone the happy
event, however, the couple devised
an ingenious plan. They had the
wedding party gather at the frontier,
and the marriage service was read
while the bridegroom stood on German
soil and the bride on the other side
of the line. When the ceremony was
over the groom reached out his hand,
drew his bride over the line into Ger
many and drove away in 4 waiting
coach.
The authorities were impotcnt. for
the lady was now a German citizen by
marriage, and as such had no need of
a passport.

DAY or THE SAIL NOT OVER
Many Years Likely to EIapse Before
Steam Is Without Rival on
the High Seas.

Is the dayo sail over? A few
years ago many people would have an
swered that question in the affirma-
tive. Square-riggers, there is no
doubt, are decreasing in numbers; but
recent years have witnessed a remark
able revival in the building of sailing
craft. Most Of the new sailing ves-
sells are fitted with internal combus-
ton engines for use in calm or con-
trary winds, the sails being brought
into use in favorable weather. And
the sailing ship Of the future will most
probably be the fore-and-aft type IA.
miliar for many years on both coasts
Of the American continent, especially
in the lumber trade.
They have stark, auStere beauty
OF their own, with their four or five
tall masts their great sails, and their
usual carved sheer and low free
board. They are considered remark
ably handy vessels, especially adapted
to sailing close hauled, that Is, as
near to the wind as possible And
since sail must always remain the
cheapest form of propulsion, it would
seem likely that-especially since the
coming Of the internal combustion en-
gine-so adapted for combustion with
sail-the threatened disappearance Of
the sailing ship from the seas will
never come to pass.

HAD TOUCH OF COMIC OPERA
Chinese Armies Stopped Fighting to
Let United States Vessel Pass
Down the River.

Ensign William 81. Galbraith, navi-
eating officer of the United States de-
stroyer Hart, attached to the United
States ASiatic squadron In Chinese wa
tiers, in a letter tells of the intensified
work placed on the hands Of the yes
sells of the squadron in the Far East
by the operations of the Chinese civil
war now in progress between the Pc
kingese and the Cantonese sections Of
the nation. When armies representing
these hostile sections approach cities
In which American citizens are In busi-
ness there is much excitement on the
part Of the Americans and they call
urgently for the protection of the fleet,
says the Columbus Dispatch.
Recently the Hart received a radio
gram call from an officer of a United
States merchant vessel, stating that his
vessel 80 miles up one of the Chinese
rivers was being detained. The captain
was anxious to put to sea, and would
the Hart see that it was permitted to
depart? The Hart got on the job at
once and found when the scene was
reached that there was no govern
mental authority holding the United
States ship up, but the Cantonese
army was drawn up on one side of the
river and the Pekingese on the other
and battle was in progress, with the
river, through which the United States
ship must pass, between them. Natu-
rally the captain did not fancy risking
the shots that were passing across the
channel. The respective commanders
kindly suspended the fighting until the
merchant vessel had passed.

FINDS SECRET OF HIS ORIGIN
Natives Of Guam Enlighten Marine;
Disagree With the Theories Put
Forward by Darwin.

The theory that he had sprung from
some remote proteplasmic organism
that his twenty-times-gr eat.grandfather
was a wire-haired baboon In the w1lds
Of Abyssinia and other near-Darwinian
monstrosities, were all regarded by
Sergeant John Burrows Of the marine
corps as so much bunk" Still, his
mind was never at rest.
The sergeant re-enlisted after the
war and was ordered to Guam.
The other day letter was received
at the marine corps recruiting head
quarters. It came from Sergeant Bur
rows In Guam.
"At last" he stated, st have dIscov-
cred where my ancestors have come
from"
The sergeant explained that natives
Of the island had enlightened him. In
accounting for the origin of man, they
said that everything in the world was
derived from q certain rock on the
island Of Guam, which first became
human, then stone, and gave birth to
all men. From this island men were
scattered all over the world. They
forgot their language and talked like
fools without understanding one an
other nor knowing what was said

How MANY Presjdents7

Percentages intrigue our fancy. So
when we read that "55 per cent Of
our presidents have been college men"
we wonder how many that was. Tween
ty-seven men have held the office and
on that basis 1885 were college men.
But Mr. Harding may be included and
that would indicate that 1874 were col
lege men. The fractions grow worse /:
it looks as though someone were be-
ing insulted. There Is further pos
sibility; some folks reckon Grover
Cleveland as the twenty-second and
the twentyfourth president. This
duality Of Mr.. Cleveland would make
Mr.. Harding the twenty-ninth Presi-
dent. It's strange thing that in so
important matter, men cannot agree
on how many presidents the country
has had. And when one comes to frac-
tional Presidents, the task Of the per
centage gatherer proves hopeless.-Mil-

Wealth and Happiness.

Much Of the anxiety and care OF
these days Is needless and springs
from an overemphasis Of the amount
Of property needed for happiness. Ev-
erything in our country tends to slim
ulate men toward excessive ambition.
Our climate Is rich in oxygen, and Is
an irritant to work. The undeveloped
resources of our land appeal to Gu
pidity-even at time when we begin
to realize that these treasures should
be conse rved for our descendants. The
stories Of successful men are exploited
with endless variations in magazines
that teach the art Of getting on in
stead of getting up. Little by little
young men feel that 1t is q disgrace
to live modestly. Avarice is a virus
In the blood. Undue ambition is pois-
oning the springs of contentment.

ing them now. They were used quite
generally In this country until the
early part of the Nineteenth century,
and even today, where conditions are
primitive, they are the reliance Of
guides and huntsmen. Occasionally
they become the timepieces Of the
British army In uninhabited regions.
"Washington was in the habit Of
carrying a sun dial, although he pos
sessed many watches. The escutcheon
