MADE THE ENeLIsHMAN GASP
Amusing Error Which American Am
bsssador to England Took With
Customary Good Nature.

In his book OF "reminiscences Mr..
John Drew. the famous actor, tells this
amusing incident that occurred under
his own eye at one OF those reconcil-
ing celebrations OF the Fourth OF July
which have for years been held In
London with both Englishmen and
Americans in attendance.
After the two national anthems were
sung the supper room opened, and the
people fiocked In and found seats for
themselves. Lewis and / were sitting
next 10 an Englishman who was evil
IDENTIFY very hungry and very thirsty.
Mr.. Phelps. the American minister.
walked into the room and looked
round over the tables. He wore side
whiskers and TO a chance observer
looked not unlike a maitre d'hotel.
The Englishman. not knowing who he
was, mistook him for one OF the walt
ers and asked him to bring him
bottle OF Apollinaris. He pointed 20
a bottle nearby that had been opened.
Phelps good-naturedly took the bottle
and put II down In front OF the Eng
lishman and started 10 walk away.
The Englishman was irate because
Phelps had not filed his glass. He
reprimanded him and as he did so
stood up and called TO the retreatins
figure: What do you mean by thisf
And who are your"
Phelps turned and answered: MY
name is Phelps. am the American
minister at the Court OF ST. James's."
The Englishman fell back In his
chair so violently that he knocked the
chair over backward.-Youth's Com
panion.

goes on to tell OF a friend who was
having his house decorated. with paint
srs all over the place. One morning

fell over a pail on the stairs. The
whole household seemed TO be In bad
temper through being harried from
room 10 room and with everything out
Of place. So he hurried TO his study
for q little quietness. A music-book
was on the piano and the hymn when
the Aists Have Rolled Away" was fac
ing him. He started playing and sing
ing this. and very soon everybody in
the house was humming the tune. In
Guiding the painters. some Of whom
were whistling. The effect was mar

C0c0NUT HAS MANY FOES
Even Land Crabs Invade the Planta-
tlons In Search Of What They Con-
slider a Delloaey.

Probably not one person in hun
dred realizes that this large hairy nut
Is one OF the most important articles
grown today.
From its flesh is made coco-butter,
the basis OF margarine and hundreds
Of other foodstuffs. II also supplies oil,
and the chief ingredient Of more than
half OF our ointments.
The coco palm is one OF the most
difncult trees TO rear. for # has foes
Of all kinds. Elephants and monkeys
tear down nuts and branches doing
great damage In the plantations. Giant
fruit-eatins bats descend in dense
clouds upon the trees. working havoc
amongst the young nuts; squirrels gnsw
holes In them and drink the milk,
while there are insects that will strip
an entire plantation In few days.
One OF the worst marauders is the
robber crab. q queer beast which lives
entirely upon land except at breeding
tiiae This creature is so fond OF COCO
NUS that II has learnt TO climb the
trees In search OF them and TO nip
them on with its great pincer claws

IMMORTALITY IN THE PEN
Centennial Of Its First Manufacture
by Machinery 10 Deserved
Tribute to lite Power.

They have been celebrating IN
England the centennial OF the first
manufacture by machinery OF the steel
pen, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
Hard hit by the was. the Birmingham
trade In pens has declined from 10000
gross week TO third OF the number.
AS far as the United States IL
concerned, Camden is the birthplace
Of the steel pen industry on a large
scale. The manufacture OF the pens
was begun in about the year 1880. and
the large company was Incorporated In
1866. Metallic pens OF any sort were
not In common use until the middle Of
the Nineteenth century. though DR..
Joseph Priestley had a steel pen FISH
Toned for him in 1870. The earliest
pens. made by hand, cost more than
a dollar apiece. and were cumbersome
and inconvenient instruments even at
that price.
The output Of Camden's pen facto-
ries has nodded opinion and made his
tory. II is impossible to trace the vast
influence In human affairs OF what
Gilbert Chesterton calls the little
scratching pen" that has split the
hearts Of men" II has been called
mightier than the sword. bat that tells
only part Of the story. Civilization
leans on the written word. and the
pen has In it's gift Immortality for
those who use II with power TO tell
the truth. The same steel might make
a bullet TO take a mans life. But
the pen has found mems hearts. not
TO end lives, but to bless and heal
them.

WHY NOT HAMILTON
THEATRES?

Why is it so many of our Hamilton
people seem to get so much fun out
of attending Cincinnati theatres when
they can see the same play or pic
ture right here at home? They pay
car fare or stand the expense of run
ming their own auto and the other
expense incidental to an out-of-town
trip and then seem to like to brag
about 81 saw such and such play or
picture at the so-and-so theatre in
Cincinnati yesterday" when they
know that this same attraction is to
be put on in Hamilton within per-
haps few days and oftimes it is
shown here first, but they seem to
prefer seeing it in Cincinnati. This
is just high-brow idea stuff, and isn't
fair to the local theatre managers
who do everything possible to give us
the best there is, and often at prices
lower than in Cincinnati. Spend
your money where you make it and
where it is appreciated most. Help
build up your own theatres by patron
izing them.

Note the enormous shift in the num-
Der of wage-earners from the longer
to the shorter work days. Note also
that nearly a million are already
working only al hours and less per
week, while over 293,000 have secured
a working week of less than 48 hours
The reports for 1922 and 1923 with
out doubt will show still further gains.
However, the figures show that in
1921 there were over three million
men still working more than 4S hours
per week, and over million and a
half of these more than Sd hours
per week Even with the spread of
the shorter hours movement during
the last two years to reduce these
figures, there still remains plenty of
work for the labor unions to do in
line of progress.

BUY NOW-BUY AT HOME

BUY NOW-BUY AT HOME
Do your Christmas shopping early,
buy now, buy at home. Ever hear
these words before? Sure, many a
time, you say And they are old
gags, you say And no doubt you are
right, yet they are always new. They
have to be, not only with some of US,
but with most of US 1t just seems
natural to put off the yearly shopping
for Christmas until almost the last
day, knowing all the time that it's
got to be done, and knowing too that
we would get much more fun out of
it and lots of satisfaction if we did
it early.
Well, the thing is, that the Press
is urging everybody to get busy and
DO 1T NOW. And what's more, DO
IT IN HAMILTON. There is no rea-
son whatever for anyone wishing to
buy holiday presents going out of
town to do it. Dayton and Cincin-
natl stores and the far-away mail or
| der houses are making great bid for
| Hamilton trade and Hamilton dollars,
painting beautiful pictures and max
| ing great promises of what they will
give you-until they get you there
and then, in many cases, you are due
for a stinging with no get-back. The
Press says, buy in Hamilton where
