An Automobile Joke.

If the victim of this joke reads this,
and puts two and two together, there
Is going to be trouble. He has an office
in a downtown building and parks his
car in front. His neighbor in the
building also has car, but has to
hunt for parking space and believes
the other gentleman has pull" with
the traffic officer who watches the
parked cars. Finally he hit on
scheme to eliminate his rival from
parking space. This was to hang a
sign, "For Sale, $25," on his rivals
car along with the rivals name and
address. Passersby boarded the car,
an expensive one with tires worth con-
siderably more than $25 each, and
tried the upholstery, lifted the hood,
etc. Finally an employee Of the cars
owner noticed the crowd and notified
his employer that for some reason a
large crowd of men and women were
tearing his car to pieces. When the
owner breathless, reached his car, he
was accosted by hatless man who
puffed out: "Hey, mister, I saw the
sign first Here's your $25." There
was a near-riot as the owner drove
his car to nearby garage.-Exchange.

NIGHT IN THE PRISON CELL
Darkness Spent in Vain Regrets
and Unavailino Sorrow.

The day is done. The sun has de-
parted beyond the western wall. the
buzzards have ceased their leisurely
wheeling in the sky and all nature
has gone to rest. We have finished
our daily tasks, eaten our evening
meal and have returned to our con-
structed cells. The bolts are shot
home and we are safely housed and
protected against the temptations Of
the great world.
The long evening drags wearily
away, punctuated now by desultory
reading and now by aimless smoking
and listless converse The warning
bell has sounded, we have crawled
each into his narrow bunk, the lights
are out and night is here.
For some, sleep and oblivion.
blessed release from the iron in the
soul for others, wakefulness and the
weary retraveling of life's pathway; ;
first, one lightheartedly turns home
ward, but the vision is eyocative Of
sad and weary faces Of dear ones
struggling against adverse fate.
One worries over the ailing little
one, over the sorrow of the faithful
old mother with her accumulation OF
years mourning for her absent boy.
her waning strength inadequate for
such burden-bearing; over the heroic.
faithful devotion of the dear wife;
over the 'chagrin and wounded feel
ings of the children under the jibe3
Of their school mates; over the vicar
ious punishment Of all ones dear ones.
Then ones mind traverses and re-
hearses the pettiness of the day just
closed, as they come trooping in re-
view with vain regrets for unimproved
opportunities for kindness, with
poignant regrets for the grasped op.
portunities of hasty and impatient
speech, all these in Photographic clear.
ness present themselves to the mental
vision.
The jangling nerves are In open re-
bellion. Again to the treadmill amid
the surging waves of thought and
again we are wading through the
deeps Of the past. Slowly, how slow
ly, the hours drag by; the guard makes
his quiet round with felt-clad feet, the
hum Of the human throng slowly falls
away from the consciousness and ex-
hausted nature brings to the tired
brain sweet oblivion, and to the weary
eyelids sleep-Good Words

OIL From Beechnuts.

Not long ago measures were taken
by the minister Of agriculture in Hol-
land to increase the supply Of edible
oils in that country by making a full
use of the domestic beechnut crop. 1t
Is estimated that between 1000 and
$500 metric tons of these nuts may be
collected If every effort be made, and
that from this amount of raw nuts
100000 to 100000 kilos Of oil may be
obtained This would afford valua-
BILE addition to the stocks Of edible
oils in the Netherlands.
Owners of private lands from which
beechnuts are gathered receive COM
pensation at the rate Of 5 per cent Of
the sums paid to the gatherers, and
they also enjoy the right to purchase
cattle cake, prepared from the pulp of
the nuts from their property at 80
forms per 100 kilos-New York Her

GREAT DISCOVERY BY YOUTH
Experiments OF sevsnteen-Year-oid
Saxon Gave Dresden China to an
Approciative World.

A kings faith In the transmutation
Of metals and the skill of an apothe-
cary's seventeen-ye year-old son caused
the discovery Of the celebrated Dres-
den ware. The king was Augustus Of
Saxony and the boy was Bottiger, who
composed tncture that was supposed
to be capable of being transformed in
to gold. But being a genius wasn't
much fun for Bottiger, for the king
locked him In complete laboratory
and refused him freedom, "ODair"
writes In the Milwaukee Sentinel. The
restraint almost unbalanced the boys
mind. ~He foamed at the mouth and
Knocked his head against the wall and
trembled so violently that two soldiers
could not hold him. And he drank
II cans Of beer a day without getting
drunk" 1t was thought advisable to
move the boy to Dresden and give him
certain liberty. While continuing his
experiments there he discovered the
Aelssen porcelain, commonly called
Dresden china. This discovery re-
jotced Augustus and he spent large
sums In constructing the Japan pal
aca. Many vorkmen came from Delft
b make the new ware and soon all
Europe was buying Melssen.
In gratitude the king gave Bottiger
his freedom, a ring with his effigy, two
apes. a young bear and credit with
the royal banker, and in addition the
profits from the porcelain factory for
Me.
But what do you think Bottiger
died Of dissipation at the age of thir-
ty-four.

Fearful and Wonderful Dish.

Shorn of its bewildering spelling
the following is a specimen recipe Of
dish the epicure of yesterday had to
sit down to: "Puree of sorrowful
eels." Eels skinned, cut up, fried in
oil with onions and parsley in which
was added cloves. powdered ginger,
cinnamon, saffron and bread beaten up
into a puree. with water, and passed
through strainer; boiled up and
favored with claret Whether it was
the eel who was sorrowful or the per-
son who ate it is not stated Truly,

Too Much Ice.

Rooming only few doors from my

I come in the door, for it very much
pleases my nephew, who. replies In
