SET RECORD FOR PRoFLIGACY
Danish courtier, Hundreds Of Years
Ago, Started Fashion Copied by
Some Modern Sports"

The "sport" who lights his cigar
cts with IS bills had the pace set hun
dreds of years ago by courtiers in the
reign of Queen Caroline Matilda OF
Denmark. Bills worth $50 were used
by them as pipe lighters, and the lead
ership was taken by an old roue,
Count Rantzau, who, although CO. won
the love of the beautiful Sophia
Livernet, of the royal ballet, maid of
Is years. Rantzau was the brains be-
hind the plot that broke the rule of
the guilty queen and her lover, DR..
Struensee. and put the dowager
queen, Juliana Maria in power.
That astute lady promptly turned
on Rantzau and ordered him banished.
He was sunk in melancholy, but
frightened long enough to give
series of balls and entertainments
more brilliant than any the kingdom
had known. Then he drew his pistol,
and all would have been over had not
the lovely Sophia entered at that mo-
ment and by singing a trio of old
melodies to the tinkle of her harp,
won back his desire to live He did
not die until many years later. and
then died as he would have wished TO
die with his boots on, and as the result
of a duel in France over the favor
of lady.

IN ExALTATIoN OF STUDY
Erasmus Advised All Students to Have
Constantly in Mind Precept Laid
Down by aPliny.

By no means have your Study fur
nish'd with learned Books and BE
unlearned yourself. Don't suffer
what you hear to slip out of your
Memory, but recite it either with
yourself, or to other Persons. Nor
let this suffice you, but set apart
some certain Time for Meditation
which one Thing, as St. Aurelius
writes, does most notably conduce
to assist both Wit and Memory. An
Engagement and combating of Wits
does in an extraordinary Manner
both shew the Strength of Genius,
rouses them and augments them. If
you are in Doubt of any Thing, don't
be asham'd to ask; or if you have
committed an Error, to be correct
ed :. Always keep this Sentence
Of Pliny's in your Mind; all that
time is lost that you don't bestow on

an Etalter, when I promis'd to be
Director. My sweet Christian, fol-
low this Method, OF a better, if you
can; and so farewell .-Desiderius

Capt. Roger Clap to His Children.


Roger Clap's words to his children
we're:
"You have better food and raiment
than was in former times; but have
you better hearts than your fogefath-
ers had? If so, rejoice in that mercy,
and let New England then shout for
joy. Sure all the people of God in
other parts of the world that shall
hear the children and grandchildren
of the first planters of New England
have better hearts, ard are more heav-
enly than their predecessors, they will
doubtless greatly rejoice, and will say :
This is the generation whom the Lord
hath blessed
Capt. Roger Clap, an English colon
ist in America, was one of the foun-
ders of Dorchester, Mass, settling

cHEsTNuTs COMING BACK.

Chestnut orchards, which have
been practically annihilated by a
blight of japanese origin, may be
restored through efforts of the fed
eral Department of Agriculture.
Ten years of experimentation has
shown that it is possible to cross the
chinquapin, a dwarf chestnut, with
the Japanese chestnut, which is
blight resistant, and that the hybrid
trees thus produced are quite resist
ant to the disease and yield nuts Of
good flavor and quality.

Why Change Your
Wife," at Opera House

Few motion pictures directors have
tackled intelligently the s:lbject of
and made thoroughly enter
tanning pictures on the theme. Among
the few who have succeeded, Cecil B.
DeMille stands head and shoulder above
the rest. Such pictures as Don t
Change Your Husband, "..Old Wives for
New, and .'For Better, For Worse"
are classics in this field. Now comes
his latest creation, "Why Change Your
Wife?". booked for the Opera house
next Thursday and Friday and again
the subject is the various phases of
welded bliss and otherwise.
This time the too wifeIy wife and the
woman are contrasted with
not at all the usual results. The story
which is by William DeMile, is said to
be brilliant in conception and to hold the
interest throughout. The picture was
produced with all the DeMille elabo-
rateness and faithful attention to de-
tail. Olga Printzlau and Sada Cowan
furnished the scenario. The cast is
virtually all cast. including such players
as Thomas Meighan, Glora Swanson,
and Bebe Daniels. Ii is Paramount

More than SIPS Taken in
at Cafeteria Dinner

The cafeteria dinner given by
the ladies Of Mrs. Staver's Bible
class at the Midland cafe on We'd
nesday evening of this week was
credit to the class. The cafe
terra stunt was new here, and "teok
like a house on fire." The ladies
began serving at five O'Clock, and
continual stream of people was
going and coming until after $50.
Everything was very orderly, and
showed that plans were made by
those who knew their business.
Mrs. Staver states that Mrs. AL
Roberts had entire charge of the
whole affair, and superintended
the work Of the two dozen women,
who SO kindly gave their services
for the evening.
AS nearly as has been figured
thus far. the class took in at least
$l25, and with the expenses
deducted, will still have nice
sum to. add to the ''new doors"
fund. The eatables left from the
dinner were sold out the next
morning.
The public enjoys the dinners
given by the churches, and many
have expressed themselves, hoping
that they will come oftener.

NECESSITY KNOWS NO LAW.

using the word Esgallows" as plural.
One only learns from his friends.
The truth is the next word had to
consist of three letters to fill out the
line properly. care" was just right.
"Is" wouldn't do at all. So the
head writer hunted uR the diction-
ary and it said the plural of gallows
was gallowses. Then it went lit
tie farther and said the archaic or
antiquated plural was gallows. The
emergency made it necessary to lug
the archaic form in by the ears and
hitch it to the line up.-Macon

NO "PRoFITEERlNG' IN THIS
Owner Of Marketed Calf Probably Con-
sidered Herself Lucky to Escape
Loss in Transaction.


After all expenses we're paid, the
widows mite" for calf sold at the
Indianapolis stockyards few days
ago was 80 cents and this eliminated
the widow from the class Of prof
iteers.
The first bid for the calf, hide
and all, was $1.50, not enough to
pay the expense of marketing, which
was $l.OO to the truckman for haul
ing the calf to market, so cents
to the commission merchant for sell
ing the calf, II cents to the stock
yards company for yardage and .
cents to Uncle Sam for war tax,
in all $1.70.
If the calf had been taken back to
the owner, a widow living on farm
near Indianapolis, the round trip
truckage charge would have been
$500 and if the calf had been sold
at the first bid Of $1.50 the widow
would have to make up the differ
ence of 30 cents in the charges for
marketing, besides being "out" one
calf.
The calf was finally sold for $3.50
and the widow realized so cents foI
her share.-Indianapolis News.

f, re it was shown to the public. 1t is
now playing to capacity throngs in
every leading city of America and in
two Canadian cities. Some idea of the
great popular appeal of the spectacle

ter of million dollars.
