EEWARD OF $25 OFFERED
FOE JOYRIDER'S NAME
Mr. Frank Percy Is Rooking for Man
Wko Wanted Automobile.
Mr. Frank Percy, secretary of the
Duane Chair company, has offered a
reward of $25 for the name of the
would-be joyrider who attempted to
make away with his Buiek automobile
Saturday night.
The car was found Sunday morning
in the lot, having been pushed from
the garage during the night. An ex
amination showed that the person who
seemingly tried to swipe the ear had
made strenuous efforts to start it, and,
failing, abandoned it.
Mr. Percy is on a hunt for the per
son who tried to secure his car, and
will pay the $25 reward for informa
tion that will lead to establishing his
identity.
Love at First Sight.
Spain shows its individuality most in
courtship and marriage. In no other
country does love at first sight so often
lead to marriage, says the Chicago
Herald. The young unmarried girl of
good social position never walks in the
streets without a chaperone, and it is
quite permissible for any man who is
attracted by her to follow her. He
must not walk abreast of her, nor
ought he, on the first occasion, to speak
to her. Having ascertained where she
lives, if he is sincere in his pursuit, he
makes frequent appearance under the
window and continues to follow her
when she and her chaperone go out.
If his looks please, the lady will
presently make an appearance on the
balcony and enter into conversation
with him. He may even talk to her
when she goes out, and the chaperone
will turn a deaf ear when the lady
throws replies over her shoulder. In
this way each discovers the social posi
tion of the other, and if independent
inquiries by parents and guardians are
satisfactory, the flirtation from the
balcony pursues an uninterrupted
course and the man gradually attains
a recognized position as his adored
one’s novio.
This stage of courtship lasts for
months; but the time comes when the
girl’s novio is received into the girl’s
home and meets her parents. He is,
however, never left alone with her, and
any evening in the Castellano in Mad
rid you may see young couples in their
second stage walking out apparently
accompanied by a deaf-mute lady. The
tramcars in Madrid have seats for two
on one side of the gangway and a
single seat on the other; the single one
is known as the chaperone’s.
During these stages either party is
free to end the friendship, but at last
comes the time when the novio goes
through the formal ceremony of asking
for the lady’s hand. If this is granted,
there is an official betrothal, which is
generally followed within a few weeks
by the wedding.
Which Girl Killed Hawk?
Springfield, Mass., dispatch to New
York World: In a combat with a hawk
measuring more than seven feet from
tip to tip of its wings, either Dorothy
or Marjorie MeClintock, of West
Springfield, killed the bird. The girls
are twins, 8 years old.
The hawk had kept the MeClintock
barnyard in terror for a week. Yes
terday afternoon it swooped down to
get its daily chicken. When the twins
ran toward the hawk it rose a short
distance then darted toward them.
The girls grabbed stones and opened
fire on the approaching enemy. A
stone struck the hawk squarely in one
eye and it fell like a plummet. Each
twin was sure the deadly stone had
been flung by her.

“Aw, how much you got for game?”

Saw Retreat of Napoleon.
(London correpondent of the New
York Times.)
It is believed that the only human
being living who saw the retreat of
Napoleon from Moscow, 102 years ago,
is “Mother” Stavne, who has now
reached the age of nearly 120 years.
Her age, as incredible as it seems,
is well attested. According to an en
try in the church register of the vil
lage in which she was bora, Dormovo,
a small German town, the date was
October 16, 1794.
She remembers the time when the
French soldiers of Napoleon came back
from Russia in their tattered blue-and-
red uniforms. Together with her par
ents, she fled to the forest to hide on
approach of the French conqueror.
“Mother” Stavne is still engaged- in
agricultural work. The region in
which she lives is once again, after
the lapse of more than a century,
being threatened by an invading army.

To Whom It May Concern:—
We certainly do like the Oil
Stove that we bought from Mc
Williams, Dalton. It cooks quick
ly and bakes such fine cake. It
cooks quicker than a gas and is
cheaper; it doesn’t cost very much
for fuel. We recommend it to any
one who wants a most satisfact

The Man and His Job.
I haven’t much faith in the man who
complains
Of the work he has chosen to do.
He’s lazy or else he’s deficient in brains,
And maybe, a hypocrite too.
He’s likely to cheat and'he’s likely to
hob;
Away with the man who finds fault
with his job.
But give me the man with the sun in
his face,
And the shadows all dancing behind;
Who can meet his reverses with calm
ness and grace
And never forget to be kind;
For, whether he’s wielding a scepter or
swab,
I have faith in the man who’s in love
with Ms job.

Wheat and Fluur for Europe.
(From a Chicago Dispatch to the
PMladelpMa Public Ledger.)
Representatives of foreign govern
ments are said to have bought quanti
ties of wheat and other grains in this
country the last few weeks. It is un
derstood agents of Great Britain, Ger
many, France and other countries are
negotiating now for wheat, corn, oats
and rye, as well as the manufactured
grain products, wheat flour and rye
flour.
So anxious has the British govern
ment been to buy wheat on a reason
able basis in this country that for sev
eral days the quotations on wheat at
Liverpool were suppressed.
Wheat traders here have come to the
opinion that deliberate efforts have
been made to hold down the price level
at Liverpool to check the bullish enthu
siasm on tHs side, while relatively
cheap purchases could me made
in our markets. With prices de
clining last week large purchases of
wheat were made for sMpment by way
of the gulf ports.
Wheat and flour from this country
is still being shipped abroad at the
rate of more than 1,000,000 bushels a
day. WMle strenuous efforts have
been made 'to cover up transactions,
there is little doubt buying continues
as aggressive as ever.

A Stern Military Order.
(From the Brooklyn Standard-Union.)
In its commeni on the sinking of
three cruisers by a German submarine
the British admirality takes the cold
blooded but correct military attitude
that there must be no attempt to save
lives of friends or foes, or to aid a
disabled ship, until such action can be
taken with perfect safety.
It was the incaution of rushing up
to rescue the crew of the Aboukir that
enabled the German submarine to in
flict fatal injuries upon the Cressy
and the Hogue. Had they remained
away and kept in motion the periscope
of the enemy’s vessel or vessels might
have been dicovered and the loss of
the two ships averted. But the Eng
lish captains were hot supermen. They
were up ■ against something entirely;
new, although they thought it was
something old, confident that the
Aboukir had struck a mine and totally
unaware that a hostile submarine was
within a score of miles.
The lesson of this sensational work
by the Germans is an extremely costly
one to ihe British and obviously from
the comment of the admirality most
will be made of it.
