MANY ARE ABSENT-MINDED
Great Numbers Of People Just a.
Aberrant as the Famous Professor
Of the Jokesmiths.

The absent-minded professor, favor
lite OF the humorjsts, Is familiar to
us all. His strange .misadventures his
tumbles into coal holes, his locomo-
tive difficulties as he walks with one
foot in the gutter, his use Of his cane
for an umbrella, and SO on-all these
are the raw material Of the joke

une.
But real people, however absent
minded, we are told, are never so
aberrant. No? What shall be said,

nedy, Pa, who the other day took his
baby girl on trip to Philadelphia,
and when he got off the return train
left her aboard? How could he for
get? The child was obviously not do

Without stopping to explore a pos

consider the case Of Raymond Bent

Princess Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, the second Of the Inflated
daughters Of the Inflated Charles I,
was born at St. James palace in 1885.
When she was six years old civil
war broke out, in England and the re-
naming nine years of her life were
pissed with strangers She saw her
father only few times, the last be-
ing on, the, day before HIS execution.
Charles took the child on his knee
and. gave her such advice as might be
expected from d father about to die.
"A year and half after HIS death she.
too, at the age of fifteen, breathed
her last. BY some it was said Crom-
wefls had tlecided to apprentice her to
a buttonmaker, but historians deny
this. 1t is known the protector pro-
vided amply for her during her short
and unhappy lifetime. A monument
was erected for her by Queen Victoria
on the occasion of rebuilding the
church at Newport, where she was
buried.-Chicago Journal

BIG COWS GIVE MOST PROFIT
Records Show That Large Animate
W. Are Biggest Producers of Milk
r. and Butterfat. =

prepared by the United States Department
- ! of Agriculture.)
Figures collected from various cow
testing associations throughout the
country and compiled by the United
States Department Of Agriculture tend
to confirm the previous conclusions OF
the department that within the breeds,
so far as they were represented by
these animals, which were mostly
grades, the large cows are the biggest
producers Of dairy products and are
also the most profitable. The evidence
seems to point to the fact that in the
individual farmers herd it will be
found that on the average the larger
cows are more profitable than the
smaller ones, although there are some
Indications that this may not hold true
in the case of herds of native cattle
containing much beef blood. ,.'-
{. The COWS whose records have been
used by the department have been
sorted out so that only mature animals
were used for these comparisons, thus
eliminating any differences that might
have been caused by the immaturtty
Of some cows. ,*
:. In one group for which figures have
been prepared there were 160 cows
classified as small, 2O1 as medium, and
129 as large. The small cows aver
aged 243 pounds of zbutterfat year,
and made an income over the cost Of
feed of $77.39. Those Of medium size
made 2S9 pounds of butterfat and an
income over feed cost of $S8.91. The
