Coal oil Johnnie is dead.
Dear me. they all have TO die,
don't they?
Even the Coal Oil Johnnies.
Who was he in his time?
Well. Coal Oh Johnnie was once
a young fellow who lived in Penn
sylvaria One day, when he was
digging on his fathers farm a
scraEgly little, forlorn little farm it
was. too-he discovered oil. Away
went his overalls and off went his
heavy shoes and his everyday cap
and off ne was to New York, spend
ing money like water, every foot Of
the way.
He showered silver dollars and
five-dollar gold pieces everywhere
he went. Walters and bellbOys and
pOrters and caDmen-all hailed him
as a prince among men.
He bought diamonds and fur
lined overcoats and silk hats and
walking sticks. He purchased En-
glish gloves and glowing neckties
and smart waistcoats. He drove a
team Of high-steppers - but they
weren't thrilling enough, so he
| bought a tandem pair. and drove
them up and down Fifth Avenue
at a great rate.
He took chorus girls to supper
dozens Of them at Once-and bought
champagne for them. He gave them
diamond necklaces, and emerald
rings, and sapphire earrings - oh.
lovely ones, as blue as sky And
milk white pearls he bought, and
cunning flowers made of twisted
gold and filigree silver from the Far
| East.
What a Fool!
Nothing was too fine or too
| beautiful, or too rich or too expen-
sive. for Coal oil Johnnie. But fin
ally, the oil wells gave out and the
money was gone, and nobody knew
Coal oil Johnnie any more. They
| didn't even ask him to breakfast
not 10 a single. plain. little meal Of
bacon and eggs and coffeel And
they never gave him back any Of
the diamonds or pearls or emeralds
or sapphires, or even offered to give
them back 10 him when they found
that he was broke"
| The whole world Of parasites and
I flatterers and hangers-on that had
courted and followed him when his
pockets were full Of money fell
away like frost before the sunshine,
and Coal oil Johnnie was left alone.
He went West. and found work
as a truckman-and no one knew
who he was or cared. He wheeled

Germany has surrendered again. I'm
conditlonally and completely she has
accepted the demands of the allies, su-

carry out the terms Of the ultimatum
without delay.
There had been little doubt of this
result, but the trouble was TO find
cabinet that would assume the respon-
sibilty and perhaps odIum of yielding
to the inevitable After several lead
ers had declined the job, Or. Wirth,
minister of finance in the Fehrenbach
cabinet and leader of the Centrist par
", agreed to become chancellor and
foreign minister, selected the rest of
the cabinet and had it acquiesce in
the demands of the allies. Then he
went before the reichstag aud said
among other things:
"There is no possibility for US other

tors have decided. Acce Dtance means

susal would. however, mean surrend-
ering the basis of our entire industrial
activities, and, as consequence, dis
memberment of our economic body, al

Thereupon the reichstag by the rath-
or small majority Of 221 to 17j, voted
TO accept the ultimaum. The German
governments reply to the ultimatum
was telegraphed at once to Premier
Lloyd George, who wired It to all the
governments concerned He then am
nounced 1t to the house Of commons,
which received the news with cheers.
In France satisfaction over the sur
render of Germany was Iessened by
the smallncss Of the majority vote in
the reichstag and the feeling that the
Wirth ministry cannot last long. The
French are still skepdcal Of Berlin's
good faith and propose 70 maintain
their forces on the Rhine at sufficient
strength to occupy the Ruhr until it
becomes evident that Germany viii

extent use It's judgment in appointing
pOstmasters. He has issued an order

first, second and third classes, author
i2ing the selection OF any one of the
first three applicants on the eligible
list ms determined by open competitive
examinations Under an order Of
President Wilson the one at the head
of the list had to be appointed. Presi-
dent Harding said the new arrange
ment was made to permit business
training and experience to be consid-

be based merely on "a clustered,
scholastic examination which might re-
suit in high grade In theory, but not
a guaranty Of efficiency in fact"
