Valuable 1hiers' Pearls
 Caused Some Commotlon

PARIS, Aug. 26.-The Theirs pearls which sold recently for more than S6OO,0OO were unable to find taker for nothing during the ag- onizing days of the German march on Paris.
 When the French general staff asked the government to get out of Paris so that army would have a free hand in the operations around the capital, it was decided that the Bank of France would move to Bordeaux also. At the last minute someone thought of the crown jew els in the Louvre museum. The di- rector of the museum bought com mon leather satchel into which he hastily stuffed the precious stones that formerly adorned the kings of France along with the Theirs pearls, without even stopping to make list of the gems.\
 The satchel was handed over to Monsieur Daimler, under secretary of state for fine arts, who carried it to Bordeaux. As soon as he ar rived in the temporary capital he tried to get rid of the trust. Mon sieur Ribont, Minister of Finances, refused to accept it; Monsieur Rob- ineau, governor of the Bank of France, also declined to take the deposit. After an unofficial coun- cil of ministers it was decided that the Bank of France be asked to take charge of the jewels after in- ventory. Monsieur Robineau final ly set about to aid him make an inventory in the chamber of a Bor deaux hotel.
 During the process the string that held the Thiers pearls together gave way, creating consternation among the eminent officials present and bringing the mall to their knees in a frantic hunt for the scattered gems
 Hours were spent in the hunt and when no more pearls were to De found a certain amount of uneasi- ness still remained because no one, in the obsence of any inventory or record from the Louvre, knew just how many pearls there were in the string. Monsieur Robineau recepit- ed for 145 and everybody was re- Iieved when word was received from the Louvre that t45 was the correct number.

Why Men Wear Silk

We hear much about vanity in the
well-known feminine sex. but there
seems to be no limit Of idiocy to which
men folk will go In their effort to ex-
tend their personalities, as the new
psychologist might put it, by means Of
costly gnrb. Shirts at $50 each in GER
tain establishments have become too
commonplace to elevate n single eye
brow. Perhaps the only reason men
do not dress more gaudily than women
is because they lack the courage Of
their desires and are too vain to admit
their own sartorial weaknesses.-Na-

Fairy Tale,
A COYOTE MATE
"NARY GRAHAM BONNER

1t was all very well for people to
talk o. happiness. but they did not
know as much about 1t as Mother
Coyote.
In the first place there was her mate.
He was so devoted. He stood guard
outside the den-far enough from II so
that he could mislead those who want
ed to find out where 1t was.
He could get food for his family and
he was so unselfish. No matter how
tired he was he was always ready to
help Mother Coyote and the babies.
Even when he had hurt himself at
one time he did not think about that
but only of how he could keep the
little ones safe. and so keep Mother
Coyote from worrying and fretting
herself and making her dear little
coyote self unhappy, as she would
have done had harm befallen them.
Once they had had to move. 1t was
al very well to love the old home den
They did not want to move
They hated leaving the dear. fnmil
lar sights which they had grown to
love.
Ihey, too, loved their home. They
did not want another.
They were not restless, nor anxious
to move. It was nuisance-espe-
cially when they had been so contented
in the old home.
They were not anxious for change
Of view or anything of that sort.
They did not want a bigger place
they did not dream of a great palace
home.
But they had had to move. as their
home had been discovered-diScovered
by enemies-and they knew they would
no longer be safe.
That was why they had moved.
But it had not made Mr.. Coyote
cranky-even though he had had
| slight accident in saving one of the
children who had fallen in stream
where there was rapid current.
He had hurt himself and tired him
self all cut in saving the child. There
were four others, but the fifth was just
as important and dear as any of Them
And 1t hadn't mattered how Mr..
Coyote had felt himself He had seen
the look in Mother Coyotes eyes as
she had scrambled after the others to
keep anything like that from happen
ing to them.
Yes. he had seen that look In her
eyes and he had said to her with his
