sided on Short street in this city and

TIM had received motorcycle for re-
pairs and in order to see that It was
in perfect order before returning II
back to the owner he took II out on
the road for a tryout.
While going at good clip, the fork
in some manner stuck and Mr.. Pres
TIM was unable to turn the front
wheel. As result the motorcycle
headed for a tree at the side OF the
road. Seeing that crash was newt
able he attempted to leap from the

DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE
German Submarine Commander Who
Sank Lusitana Also Now at
Bottom Of Sea.

The commander of the German sub
marine that sank the Lusitania Is now
mt the bottom Of the sea, according to
story which has reached American
Legion headquarters. Flogged and
flung over the side Of a Paraguan war
vessel, he met death with dose of
his own medicine.
The story is that the commander
fleeing from allied justice, took refuge
In Paraguay, where he at once took
out naturalization papers and swore
allegiance to the paraguan republic.
Friends in the shipping world secured
for him the command Of Il Paraguan
man-o'-war, the Adolph Riquelmi. He
had hardly set his heel upon the decks
when he inaugurated the rules which
had been his custom. The crew, with
their Latin blood, could not stomach
the diet as the Stoid Teutons had
done in the old days. So they passed
him around for beating, and then
threw him into the sea, fur from sight
of land.

Fancy French Pets Saturated With Un.
welcome Perfume OF Marshal
Foch's American Mascot.

Fifty thousand francs worth Of pet
dogs were temporarily ruined by Mar
shal Foch's Wild cat on the voyage to
France. When the marshal, as guest
Of the American Legion, had picked
up Theodore from an admring friend,
he had little reckOn.l what devasta-
ton was in store.
Theodore was placed In the kennel
room atop the liner Paris, under care
Of the ships butcher, who acted as
animal valet for the trip. Believing
that the fluffy pekinese, and poodles,
and Mexican harnesses that shared
her compartment did not represent,
like herself, the true red-blooded pi-
oneering spirit Of America, Theodore
lay quietly in her cell and exuded the
aroma peculiar to wildcats. When the
Paris touched the shores Of France,
the valet handed the pet dogs around
to the group OF dalntily-scented mad
amoiselles and was greeted with loud
shrieks.

"YES" AND "NO"

THESE two Htle words, yes and
no, with which men have been
wrestling for ages, are vocables OF
enormous meaning, capable of settling
all the simple and complex problems
In life, when used with utmost wisdom
ana likewise with utmost caution.
In Washington. the statesmen who
were debating and adjusting the ques-
ton of limited armament found
1t difficult at times to apply yes and
no to the interrogations which
naturally arose in the discussion, and
In which the " hole world Is vitality In
terested.
To use these monosyllables at the
right time and in the proper place Is
the earnest wish of every falr-mlnded
man or woman who would have peace
and goodwill on earth"
But to do so in truth and mercy,
when dissension Is rife and righteous
ness seems to be tumblng noislly like
mountains In an earthquake, requires
the wisdom of Solomon and the pa
thence of job, accompanied with divine
guidance.
How many lives Of promising young
men and women have been bllghted
by the indiscriminate playing of yes"
and "no"?
How many nations have gone to war
through the utterance in anger of
ruthless Eyes" when II complacent mo"
authorltatlyely spoken, might have
saved millions of precious lives, I'M
told sorrows and inestimabe treas
ure?
He or she who makes merry with
these small words without giving
thought to the immensely of their pow
er to create or destroy, Is Iisking
everything in this life, and possibly
In the life to come.
Though these words may seem but

breakers ahead--these things plunge
us into gloom.
And we, In our turn, pass the gloom
along. For our friends, seeing the
black and forebodlng faces that we
wear, grow gloomy too.
One sullen-faced man in an office
will sometimes spoil the day for the

one croaker on board ship In

Nobody loves gloomy man-but
everybody listens to hlm--and looks

how the raven, by croaking the word
"nevermore' was able to drive luck
less poet almost to the verge OF In

Continual gloom is hot good for the
soul, any more than continual shadow
would be good for the green AMI BIOS

earth.

are. like Pollyanna, but we can at
least keep our trouble to ourself, and
not look as II we were limping along

The gloomy man or woman In
home destroys the happiness of an en-
tire family-and usually drives the
children out on the streets, where at
lenst there Is air and sunshine, and
maybe now and then hurdy-gurdy.
The reason the jazz is popular, that
the comic supplement- sells by the nil

we will do anything to get rid OF

You are as much Of menace TO the
