JUST SUPPoSING.

The most embarrassing moment of
my life was in school. I am a senior
in high school, and naturally take
great pride in it, and like to lord it
over the freshmen. l am in the fresh
man French class and at every OPP
portunity get l make fun at their
mistakes.
Well, we were just starting on
French and my French teacher was
trying to help me out on something l
did not understand.
She said to me: Norman, suppos-
ing that I said to you, You love the
girl"
Not keeping the question in mind l
sheepishly said. What girl?"
1t truly was an embarrassing mo-
ment for me to have all these fresh
men giggle at me and taunt me, thus
giving me a dose of my own medicine.

WHEN ROCKEFELLER FIRES
MAN.

Roctefellers method of dealing with
dishonest or derelict employees is H.
Illustrated in the case of young man
who had been selling inside informa-
ton about Standard Oil, in the oil re-
gions.t Current Opinion tells about it.
I'VE are going to dismiss him." Mr..
Rockefeller is quoted as saying to his
financial secretary, "and we will do
1t this way. We desire information
as to. the present status of the Oil
business in Spain, and as he SPEAKS
Spanish flnently. We, shall send him
on a special trip abroad. You are to
say nothing about this, but wish you
to be at the steamer and to make sure
that he sails. Nobody else will know
about this, but the moment he is gone
you will change every lock and key,
every combination on safes, and get
out an entirely new cipher CODE" The
young man was never seen thereafter
at 26 Broadway.

SAW BIG PLOT IN FOOTBALL.

It has always been a difficult matter
to be sportsman in Turkey. One
Turk, ,Rechad Bey, tried it with a re-
suit weird enough to serve as a basis
for detective story.
1t appears that the young Turk had
organized football team among his
friends, together with some Greeks
and Armenians, and began practicing.
Shortly thereafter, in the middle of
the night, police came to his house
and carried him off to Scutari. There
he was submitted to a long examina-
ton as to the club and the game Of
football.
The authorities were convinced that
they had found great plot, and that
the club must be secret society. A
special messenger was sent for the
bali, and that was duly examined and
found to be an Internal machine. The
rules of the game were considered to
be another piece of damning evidence,
and still worse were the sweaters and
colors of the club.
After long deliberation, the culprit
was sent to the higher police author
tiles in STEAMBOAT, who went through a
second long examination and came to
the conclusion that the empire had
been saved from disintegration by the
early discovery of a great plot. They
dispatched the whole matter to be in
quired into at the sultan's palace at
| YildiZ, and a Special commission took
the matter in hand.
After much careful thought and ex.
animation of the evidence of the crime
it was decided that there might be
nothing in it, but that it must not be
committed again.

Florence looked at her aunt.

Florence closed her eyes. ''It is a

eyes with an air or grea, surprise.

CoNVENiENcES THAT ARE RE.

Every housewife has probably

didn't bother him. .,..r.
The old man is not more careless
than. the housewife who forgets to
provide for her family the small, in
expensive but most essential convent
ences and ,time-savers which are re-
quired in the average household. -
Here's a list of little things which
should be in every home:
A hall mirror for the convenience
of guests In putting on hats or smooth
ing the hair.
A telephone list of numbers most
used and the numbers of the family
physician, druggist. etc. Also the
number used for calling fire or police
departments.

Again war was averted.


At the gate the five friends parted,
and as Florence Carey walked slowly
up the pathway she thought back
over the conversation.
Mother" she asked suddenly,
(which; is the finest art-muslc, read
ing, drawing or school teaching?"
Her mother laughed, Goodness,
Florence, such a big question! Any
art is just as big as the artist
makes it,"
"As big as what?" asked Florence
doubtfully.
GAS big as the artist makes it. The
artist is the measurement the art"
Then it all depends on the person,
doesn't it?"

"Why?"
"Oh, because. Nearly all the girls
are geniuses but me. My, listen to
those children! What is the matter

Some mooted point in the game had
caused dissension, but when it was
| referred to Florence she settled it
promptly. Then for nearly an hour
4 she played in the yard with "the
youngsters" going in at last, flushed
and breathless.
Florence, dear, will you rid out my
work-basket?" asked her aunt, as she
stopped at the door, to speak to her
THE silks are all tangled"
AS Florence set to work she thought
again of the, subject Of geniuses.

rules of life" Living an hour at a

to keep up the system for the follow

WALK ON LIVE GOALS.

When a Tamil Hindu RECEIVERS from
a serious illness he sometimes makes
a VOW to do something entailing dis
comfort and pain to himself as a sort
of manifestation of gratitude COM
bined with self-sacrifice and self
abasement. These vows take different
forms, such as rolling over and over
on a hard metalled road, flashing him
self or being dashed on the back or
wearing a hair shirt, but walking
over live Goals is the means most
commonly chosen by the devotee, this
being very often accompanied by 9th
err forms of self-torture.

Scientists Search
for BOthering Ghost

Halifax, NJ S.rA party Of inquisi-
tive scientists now threaten to break
s in upon the quiet of the Antagonist
ghost whose fame grows with each new
thrill it causes. The exclusive wrath
will make the acquaintance Of a small
group Of distinguished men, if plans
being discussed today are carried out.
DR.. Walter Franklin Prince, director
OF the American Institute for Scientific
Research, New York, has declared his
intention Of calling at the haunted
house If he can arrange to obtain a
leave Of absence.
The Antagonist ghost has gotten to
be quite an international affair since
first heard of few weeks ago. The
haunted house is the home of Alex
ander Macdonald, near Caledonia Mills
in little-inhabited valley, deep in the
mountains and woods. Mr.. Macdonald.
his wife and their adopted daughter
fled from the place in terror in the
dead of winter with weird tales of
ghostly cattle tampering and series
of inexplicable fires,
The tale obtained wide credence and
the provincial police sent a detective
to the place. He was accompanied by
newspaper man, the two taking up
their residence in the Macdonald
house for three nights, fleeing finally
with an eerie tale Of being slapped in
the night by hands that did not seem
to be attached to anything. Now comes
the call for the scientific investigation.

MIL WAUKEE RATES
UNDER FIRE AGAIN
Petition to Railroad Commission De-
mands Change in Rate Charged
by Company.

Madison, Wis. - Investigation Of gas
rates charged by the Milwaukee Gas

sion on it's own motion. The commits
sion said that facts exist sufficient to
warrant a formal probe into the com
pany's charges and served notice that
the date for hearing would be set with
in ten days.
The present rates were put into eff
feet in October, 1920, after investiga-
ton by the commission had shown that
the company was not making what it
considered fair return on its invest
ment.
Following the increase Milwaukee
members in the legislature led by AS
semblyman F. J. Peterson, ordered an
Interpolation of the railroad commits
sioners to determine why the raise had
been granted.
Special attorneys represented the
city in the probe of the commissions
action in January, 1921, but nothing
resulted.
Since that time the cost Of coal and
labor has decreased to such an extent
that the commission is of the opinion
that lowering of rates may be made.
Hearing will probably be set for Mil
waukee within the next month.

Detroit, Mich. Estimates Of the
damage resulting from the ice and

half of the lower Michigan peninsula,
ranged today from 100000 to $5,-
100000. improvement in telephone
and wire communication in the strick-

counts were uncbtainable.
Telephone and telegraph repair
crews are working day and night in
districts entirely cut off to resume
with this part of the
state. "Glare" ice covering the high
ways, however, makes their work diff

In the northwestern part of the low

left by a tornado is presented. Large
trees as well as poles lies over the
highways. The Michigan Telephone
company has reports showing $500
poles had been snapped off by the wind

Western Union poles are down for a
distance of Al miles in the north.
Fear of floods in the Saginaw and
