Austria was illustrated by the sale Of

duke Ludwig Victor. 1t netted many
million crowns, and the newspapers say
the purchasers were virtually all newly
rich Viennese.
Many professional collectors and buy

came here for the sale but declared
they could not compete with native bid

Gobelins brought from 100000 to
100000 crowns each.
The Vienna Derby was another Illus

30,000 persons attended. and the receipts
of the betting machines alone were
100000 crowns.

CAVE HAS STRANGE PROPERTY
hiti Have Never Been Satisfac-
torily Explained.

About q kilometers from Papeete.
Tahiti, is a large opening in the side
of a mountain called the Cave of Ma
raa. 1t is the reputed burial place of
powerful wizard of old. the spell of
whose entertainments still broods over
the tavern. The particular manifesto
tion which interests passersby is the
impossibility of striking the opposite
wall of the cave with stone, although
to the eye the feat seems the easiest
Of undertakings. Most newcomers
laugh at the legend and start out with
an easy throw, only to see the missile
drop in the water apparently but
few feet away.
Then they warm TO the work and
exert all the force that is in them.
and, at last making sings, strive with
all their might to overcome the power
of the old warlock; hut to no avail.
The stones drop ANONYMOUSLY in the
water as If some unseen hand had
caught them In midair and cast them
down in the center of the cavern. The
reason has never been explained sat
sfactorily.-Chicago Journal.

Constant Search for Tannin.

The oak is one of the best known
natural sources of tannin, although 1t
is found in many other trees. The
spread of industry has increased the
call for tannin to such a degree that
search has been made all over the
world for some new tree capable of
supplementing the oak, hemlock and
other trees In furnishing this indis-
pensable substance.
A certain degree of success has at
tended the search In Argentina, where
there is found tree called the que
brachO. from which excellent tannln
can be obtained. The wood of this
tree is very hard and durable, and it
grows In large forests 1t has been
known as tannin producer for about
80 years, but only in late years has
the extraction of the tannin been con-
Quoted in Argentina. Formerly the
wood was exported

Persia,s Sales Methods.

In Teheran are aristOcratic shoe
shops where the styles of Europe and
America are copied from Illustrations
In catalogues that have somehow or
other found their way out there. These
shops have glass windows and real
doors. and they display their goods
in way thought to be truly Partisan.
The glass windows, though the panes
are small, must have cost deal Of
money, fol glass Is almost unknown
In Persia.
The master shoemaker stands
proudly at his door and welcomes a
customer with the greeting, "All that
| have is yours-my shop and all the
goods" But once the prospective Gus
toner is inside the shopkeeper forgets
to be the Frenchman of the Orient and
the bargaining methods Of the East
begin.
The customer is assured that the
price asked Is half the actual cost,
while all the time quarter of the
sum named would buy the goods. If
no business results, politeness is still
the order Of the day, for Persian
does not consign a man to Hades.
but just insinuates, by referring to
him as the "son OF burnt father"
that his honored parent Is already
there.-Roland Garbold in Asia.

Hair a Nuisance. Anyway.

Badness is unnecessary We have It
on the authority of a sharp who can
raise hair as easily as farmer raises
wheat. Men become bald because
they keep their hair cut short and the
follicle system becomes lazy, and with
not enough to do 1t loses interest in
it's work and the hair falls out. Women
do not become baldheaded because
they allow their hair to grow long.
This gives the ,hair-producing system
plenty of exercise and keeps it strong
and healthy. In order to escape bald
ness man has only to allow his hair to
grow long. either braidng 1t to hang
down his hack or coiling it around his
dome with hairpins and imposing the
joint use of mothers dresser every
morning.
However, considering the alternative
calmly, most men will prefer to be
bald, writes Glenn M. Farley in the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. How could
man quarrel with his wife with his
hair braided down his back?

Give Credit to Egyptian.

No one knows who wrote the first
book, but the claim is made that the
worlds first great work came from
the pen of an Egyptian named Athletes.
1t was a history of his own nation
written in pip b. G. The Latins,
who excelled in literature long before
any of their neighbors, had thought
of the publishing business, were gall
liant enough TO ascribe the inspiration
to Europa, daughter of Agenor, king
of Phoenicia, who lived in 1894 B. G.
Just what they wrote under her infiu-
ence in those days is not recorded. 1t
is certain that Cadmus brought Phoe-
nician letters into Greece in 1883 =. c.,
and there is enough, evidence of pub
lished books during these early days
to lead one to the conclusion that writ
ing as business or an art dates back
into the earlier ere of Egyptian and
Phoenician civilization.

BANKERS BELIEVE
CHILDREN SHOULD
HEAR BANK TALKS

Representative bankers from Group
Six of the Wisconsin Bankers associ-
alton met in conference yesterday af-
ternoon at the Marathon County bank.
H. G. Berger, as district chairman,
presided at the meetings. E. T. O'Brien
of the Citizens Bank of Kenosha was
the principal speaker and explained
the proposed educational campaign be-
ing planned by the American Bankers
association.
Mr.. O'Brien's talk convinced all
present of the desirability of carry
ing out the program outlined, which
is to arrange for talks to all school
children from the seventh grade and
up, explaining the fundamentals and
the processes of banking. Particular
emphasis is to be laid on the matter
of investments and the necessity for
complete confidence in the willing
ness of the banks to assist anyone in
money matters. The banks feel that
they owe the community this informa-
ton and that the campaign of educa-
ton will be step in the betterment
of financial understanding in the coun-
try.

SIMPLE DIET ALWAYS BEST
AZ True Now as When Addison Ad-
vised II, More Than Two
Centuries Ago.

Two hundred years ago Addison
wrote: Mature delights In the most
plain and simple diet. Every animal,
but man, keeps to one dish. Herbs are
the food of this species, fish of that
and flesh Of third. Man falls upon
the smallest fruit or excrescence of
the earth, scarce berry or mushroom
can escape him.
ut is impossible to lay down any
determinate rule for temperance.
Were to consider my readers as my
patients. and to prescribe such kind
of temperance as is accommodated to
al! persons, ! would copy the follow
ing rules Of very eminent physician:
Make your whole repast out OF one
dish; If you indulge In a second.
avoid drinking anything strong till you
have finished your meal; at the same
time abstain from all sauces. or
at least such us are not the most plain
and simple"

HELPED BY SENSE OF HUMoR
Possibly Man Who Would Incorporate
It in the Marriage Ceremony
/ Is Right

A man got up the other day
and said it was his opinion that
sense of humor was so important In
life that it ought to be put right into
the marriage ceremony.
1t is needless to add that the man
who got up and said it was bachelor.
If he had been married man he
wouldn't have. been allowed to get up
In the first place, and even If he had
managed that he couldn't have dared
say anything so radical.
This gentleman's suggestion was
that, since the "obey" had been am
putated from the service, the loving
couple should be required to love,
honor, and have a sense of humor" I'M
til death do them part. i
Undoubtedly sense of humor has
Its place in the home, but we don't
see the advantage of thrusting 1t into
the wedding service.
If you really had sense of humor
In working order you wouldn't be do
ing anything so ridiculous as promis-
ing anything. A man getting married
is in no condition to enjoy a joke
even If he is one.
When man can hardly keep wife,
the way prices are, how can he be ex-
pected to keep sense of humor?
Even IL he did manage to scrape up
the remnants of one after the wedding
1t would be knocked out by the first
of the month, when the bills begin to
come in.
Generally speaking, sense Of hu-.
NOR in matrimony is about as much
use as map of Europe, published in
1913.-Chicago Herald and Examiner.

MASKED MAN ROBS
NORTHERN HOTEL
ENTERS HOTEL NORTHERN
SUNDAY MORNING
WELL ARMED

A masked robber, armed with a
heavy revolver, entered the annex of
the Hotel Northern on Jackson street,
early last Sunday morning and COM
manded a party of card players to
hold up their hands. Five were play
ing cards and six others were watch
ing the game The bandit ordered
them to stand up and keep their hands
elevated
Takes Contents
The bartender was forced to open
the cash register, the contents of
which the stranger emptied into his
pockets, and then ordered all the men
to place their money and valuables
on table. An automobile stopping
in front of the hotel caused him to
hurry his collection, and then he
backed to the door, keeping the men
covered with his weapon, and disap-
peared
Captain John Fehl, Jr., and Henry
Schwister, city detective, were noti-
fed at once and came to the scene
After some hours they located the man
they wanted at hotel at 1906 Third
street and at the Jail they obtained a
confession from him.
He gave his name as George Michael
Ditsch and his home as near Appleton.
He stated that the fact that he was
out of work and needed money caused
him to commit the crime.
Served Time
Later developments showed that he
had served time in the Minnesota
state prison for highway robbery, and
at that time gave his name as Michael
George Webb. His age was given as
twenty mine. He has been known in
Wausau off and on for some time, hav-
ing worked in this city.
In municipal court Monday morning
he waived examination on the charge
of robbery and was bound over to cir
cult court under bonds of $4,000. He
is now in the county Jail awaiting trial
which will be held shortly. According
to his statement he is anxious to plead
guilty.

a term applied to executive appoint

a bill authorizing the appointment of
eighteen new United States judges,
and Adams, with the consent of the
