HOOCSTRAETEN
ONCE DIVORCED
American Heiress Repays
Counts Golden Quest; He
Had Many Loves.

New York.-Count Ludwig Salm van
Hoogstraeten holds himself to the quar-
ters of his bride, the former Miss Mil
licent Rogers, granddaughter Of the
late H. H. Rogers, one Of Americas
money kings. Meanwhile weird pro-
cession of former loves and heart COM
plications began forming line in the
wake of the counts capture of the
S40,000,000 Standard Oil heiresS.
Three women who did not go to the
altar with him nursed their personal
views out of range of the honeymoon
and the couple upon whom it shed its
rays.
And with the breaking of the gentle
tidings that the count had played fast
and loose in love in many directions,
with many counties yet to report the
returns, there came the cold blasting
of his pretense to succession to the
ancestral estates" Of the Salm re-
gime.
Descending, as he did, from NOR
ganatic match between Prince Constan-
tine Of Salm Salm and plain daugh-
ter of Deutschland, he acquired no
rights, for in defining morganatic mar
riage the authorities agreed on this
point:
1T fails to confer upon the wife the
title of her husband or upon the chill
dren the right of succession"
While the light of authority thus
cleared away the fond dream Of ances-
.ral estates belonging to princely
line, his friends in many quarters re-
Vealed how the forty-year-old count
had come to this country with only
$4,000 of capital, bent upon trading
Belgian counts title for fortune
that ran into the millions class.
He went about the task with the
frank determination that might have
won the admiration of salesmanager
for an oil promotion scheme. No cuffs
to deceive you, no false pretense. He
wanted girl with million and he
said SO frankly.
But while seeking the girl witha
million he did not hesitate to engage
himself to a widow de grace with a
small competence. Nor did hes scorn
the beauteous proprietor of hat shop,
nor turn his county gaze from a NOV
Ing picture star from his own part
Of the world. And there are other
reports still to come.

In writing novels, the authors usu-
ally write what they please and trust
to the readers liking it.
Wise is the man who let's his wife
have her own way just to spite him
self for having married her.
Smiling can be habit. However,
those smiles that are not the result Of
habit are still the most valuable.
A fool and his money are soon part
ed-and a wise man soon dies and his
heirs take what the lawyers leave. So
take your choice.
The only happiness brave man
ever troubled himself with asking
much about was happiness enough to
get his work done.
It is an interesting fact that a man
who chooses his work because he
loves it, often chooses kind at which
he can make no money.
At the marriage altar they take
each other for better or for worse.
A little later he thinks it couldn't have
been worse and she thinks she might
have done better.
The fuel of the ancient Romans was
almost exclusively charcoal. This was
burned in open pans, without CRATE or
fue, and gave economical heat for liv-
ing rooms and baths.
The cocklebur, troublesome as a
weed because of it's stiffly armed burs,
has been definitely demonstrated to be
poisonous to live stock in the early
stages of it's growth.
To be happy is not only to be freed
from the pains and diseases of the
body, but from anxiety and vexation
of spirit-not only to enjoy the pleas
ures of sense, but peace of conscience
and tranquility of mind.

QUEEN IS FAIRY GoDMOTHER
But WiIheimina's Gift to Laberer's
Child Was Grabbed by Father
and Brother.

Little stories rejecting Queen VII
helmina's popularity with her subjects
appear from time to time in the con-
tinental press.
The Petit Parislen reports that re-
Gently. while motoring IL the outskirts
Of The Hague, the Dutch sovereign
was attracted by the unusual beauty of
a laborer's child who waved to her.
She stopped her car to chat with the
little girl, asked her name and kissed
her.
A few days later the delighted child
received a parcel from the palace con
tanning a beautiful pair Of gloves, the
right-hand glove filed with caramels
and the left with gold pieces. Accom-
panying the gift was a note from the
queen asking her little friend TO write
and tell her which of the gloves gave
her the most pleasure.
In due time the chIld's reply, on
tear-stained note paper, reached the
palace. your majesty" 1t read, II
don't know which glove / liked the
DtStt DeCdhSt my uhuuS loOh AAc ASlt-
hand glove and my brother took the
right"
The queen, In good story-bOok style,
promptly duplicated the gift, making
certain, however, that the child should
not be robbed by grasping father or
greedy brother. It is not related
whether or not she repeated her rather
embarrassing inquiry.

The Weather

Nothing is more cussed and dis
cussed than the weather.
It requires a sudden change in
temperature, like the recent cold
wave that swept over the entire coun-
try, to call attention anew to it's
Importance in the daily life of every
individual.
TO quote from the poet
For whether it blow or whether
it snow,
We must have weather, whether
or no"
It's a time honored jest that when
all other subjects of conversation
fail, we may turn to the weather.
Whether hot or cold, it assumes first
place in more conversations than any
other one subject.
We may be interested in our
everyday tasks, the latest movie,
tax reduction, politics or whatnot,
but let an overnight change in the
weather come, we rush to the
thermometer to see what the
mercury shows.
Icy blasts freeze the marrow of
the bone and the suns hot rays bring
human frailty to the melting point.
The ability of the body to resist
extremes of hot or cold is the thing
that really counts, but the human
being is only vaguely aware of that
fact, because he believes that his
comfort depends largely upon what
the thermometer shows.
This age-old superstition is no
more the evidence of the frailty of
human nature than the one that the
seasons are changing.
How often have we heard that?
Some unknown scientist, evidently
looking for publicity, averred that by
reason Of the Japanese earthquake,
the earth's position with relation to
the sun had been changed so that the
United States was 500 miles nearer
the sun.
His theory held out until kind
providence in the form of cold
wave pushed it into an untimely
grave.
Every few years the fishing
worms take winter outing above
the ground and the fruit trees
obigiugly bloom for Christmas, but
consult the weather records any
place and it will be found that
temperatures average up about the
same, in cycles of years.
The weather is not such a tickle
old fool as most of us imagine.

LION OF WATERLOO TOPPING
Glory of the Old Battlefield EeIipsed
by Events Of the World
War.

The great lion on the field of Water
loo is reported in danger Of collapse.
The base upon which 1t rests is in
ruins.
The battlefield OF more than a CEN
fury ago has been forgotten by most
people in the rush to the new field Of
glory. Where Napoleon and yelling
ton cOntended does not concern the
tourists who want to see where FOch
and Hindenburg were making their
fame.
And the lion has lasted much longer
than either the Corsican or the Eng
lishman, neither of whom had an
other claim upon the attention of the
world, observes the Fort Worth Tele-
gram.

Of all the glory of might In the pic
ture of a crumbled statue half covered
with sand, bearing the inscription:
MY name is Ozymandias. king OF
kings;
Look on my works. ye mighty and
despair;
Nothing beside remains
OF that colossal wreck. boundless and
bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far
away"
The lion of Waterloo, the lion of mill
itary fame. rests on foundation that
crumbles with time. Why patch 1t up?
