He Could Still Reckon.
Mrs. Hugh Reid Griffin, wifo of one
of the directors of the American Am
bulance hospital in Paris, declared that
there is a good bit of humor in the
hospital, and that nothing is more
priceless than a smile. A Scottish
guard, his uniform stiff with blood,
was found unconscious. His uniform
was cut from him and he was laid in
bed. When he opened his eyes his
hand went down to his side. "My
pocket's gaen.’’ said he, and. raised pa
thetic eyes to the nurse. “Three franc?
wa’ in't.” "Never mind,” she comfort
ed him, “I’ll give you another three
francs —that will be just the same.”
The Scotsman shook his head pain
fully. "Not at a’!” he managed to
gasp. “I should ha had six.” —Youth's
Companion.
Something in Your Eye?
When you get something in your
eye do the best you can to suppress
the instinct to rub the eye. Then pull
the lower lid up and the upper lid out
and the particle in the eye will be dis
lodged by the tears which flow across
the eyeball in a torrent: they will be
washed out and will appear in the cor
ner of the eye. If any chemical is
thrown into the eye, do not wait to
look in a book for an antidote; the
best thing is plain water; or if you
have time and it is handy, use a plain
salt solution, a teaspoonful in a pint
of water, either hot or cold. This will
wash it out quicker than you can wait
to neutralize it in some other way.—
BentOu N. Clover, M. D., in Good
Health.
Time’s Changes.
Poor old Cato meant well no doubt,
6ut he was horribly ignorant of the
proprieties, having advised "that tho
farm buildings be well constructed,
that you should have ample oil cellars
and wine vats, and a good supply of
casks so that you can wait for high
prices, something that will redound to
your honor, your profit and your self
respect." He had Hoboken in mind,
but we Americans do our farming in
North Dakota and Kansas, where the
vat flourisheth not nor peepeth the
cask above the lowly ground.—Spring

Not the Teapot’s Fault.
Pat was very fond of strong tea. He
always praised a housekeeper accord
ing to the strength of the tea she
made. Last Saturday the woman of
the house where Pat worked was pour
ing out the tea for his breakfast. It
was coming out very slowly, and the
good woman asked Pat to excuse the
teapot as it had a bad spout. Pat (not
liking the loqk of the tea) said sadly:
“Oh. begor, ma'am, don't blame the
taypot, because anything weak must
go aisy.”

Co-Operation
By FRANK FILSON
(Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.)
“I can’t understand it, Miss Fer
guson,” said Lorimer of the Manufac
turing company. “Here are the Ells
worth people bringing out their new
patent line on the very same day as
ourselves. And it lias the same fea
tures —that escape which we have been
having patent litigation about. I am
sure someone has betrayed us!”
He smashed his fist down on the
table. Three times during the last
year the Ellsworth people had come on
the market with an imitation of one of
the Lorimer patents. Of course, one
could go to law, but Lorimer was tied
hand and foot in many legal fights, and
meanwhile he saw Ihe profits of his
factory being snatched from him.
“If I could find the scoundrel I’d
flay him!” he swore. "Miss Ferguson,
it’s either you or Sanders or Bent.”
Sanders was the company secretary,
Miss Ferguson Lorimer’s private sec
retary. Bent was the head of the fac
tory.
“Of course, when I spoke of you it
was in jest,” Lorimer went on in a
mollified tone. “But it’s a black be
trayal, Miss Ferguson. Do you think
it’s Bent?”
“The Ellsworth people evidently
have a man at work here somewhere,”
answered Miss Ferguson in even tones.
“I'll fine) him,” swore Ferguson.
“And I’ll rip the hide off him when I
do.”
Miss Ferguson looked curiously after
Lorimer as he went out to his lunch.
He was a man of about forty years;
he had been fighting the Ellsworth peo
ple for five or six years, and hitherto
successfully. Miss Ferguson had been
with him for nine years, and had seen
jj^
Somebody Chuckled Behind Her.
the business creep up until, in place of
a small shop in a tenement district, it
had its own buildings and covered a
block uptown.
Lorimer trusted her absolutely. He
had no secrets from her. Not even
that about Adams.
Adams had been the man who set
Lorimer on his feet. A genius without
practical sense, all his inventions were
appropriated by the man who hired
him for $;10 a week. The patent flue
was his, as were the other patents.
Adams was a widower with one daugh
ter.
fie had finally left Lorimer in a rage,
because he wanted S4O a week, which
Lorimer was disinclined to grant. All
that was before Miss Ferguson en
tered Lorimer’s employment.
Lorimer came home at two, and left
the office at six. Miss Ferguson had
the keys; Lorimer never came back
after he had put on Ills hut and coat.
At six o'clock he said good-niglit and
went away. Sanders hod already
gone, and Bent did not come through
the office on his way from the factory.
As soon as Lorimer had gone Miss
Ferguson went to the safe and un
locked it. Swiftly she abstracted a
certain set of blue papers and, return
ing to her desk, began jotting down
memoranda from them. She puzzled
over them for 15 minutes. At the end
of that time there was a telephone
ring. ,
The telephone operator had gone
home, leaving the switch connected
with the office. Miss Ferguson took
down the receiver.
“That you dad?” she called. "Yes,
I have them for sure. The flue attach
ment. I’m just copying the data. No,
there isn’t much of a secret about it—
it’s just what you expected it would
be. Tell E. that I'll have the papers to
him by the first pest—my copy, of
course."
Somebody chuckled behind her. Miss
Ferguson turned, to find herself look
ing into Lorimer’s face.
“So it was you, just as I suspected,”
said Lorhner, chuckling again.
The secretary sprang to her feet In
panic. “Touch me if you dare!” she
screamed.
“I have no intention of touching you.
Miss Ferguson,” said Lortmer. “My
remarks of this morning were simply
destined to put you into an uneasy
framed of mind. 1 hake suspected you
j for a good many mornhs."
| “W*ti, you’ve caught me with tho
I goods*,” she answered defiantly. “What
| arte you going to do about it?”
“I don’t know,” said Lorimer. “Why
did you do it? I’m paying you SSO a
week. How much does Ellsworth
pay?”
“Fifty,” snapped Miss Ferguson
“And I’m to get a hundred as soon as
you find out and discharge me.”
“Ellsworth won’t pay you a penny,”
said Lorimer. “He isn’t white. What
did you do it for?”
“You call yourself white?” demanded
the girl. “Well —say! How about
your treatment of Mr. Adams? You
owe him about two hundred thousand.”
“Simply "business,” returned Lorimer.
“Adams was an impracticable man. He
couldn't have used a penny more than
lie was getting. As a matter of fact,
lie struck for forty, the fool, and that
was what raised my anger. If he'd
asked a hundred I’d have given it. Say,
come, now, what did you do it for?
Just fifty from Ellsworth?”
The woman thrust her jaw forward.
“I’ll tell you,” she said. “You ruined
my father’s life, you kept his nose to
the grindstone, you drove him into his
grave through lack of the recognition
which ought to have been his. My name
isn’t Ferguson at all —it’s Adams. I’m
Mr. Adams’ daughter, see? And when
lie died in poverty I vowed to get some
of that money back. Did Ido it? Eh?
Did I do it?”
“We'll come to that later,” said
Lorimer. “Now that I’ve found the
leak, of course I shall have to stop it.
You won’t expect to stay?”
“Well, I should say not!”
“But I’ll give you a hundred a week
to get that job with Ellsworth and
find out what you can for me.”
“What? 'Do you take me for that
sort of woman? I haven’t a thing
against Mr. Ellsworth.”
“All right,” said Lorimer soothingly.
“But if he doesn’t live up to the terms
of this bargain?”
“Then you can count on me,” said
the secretary fiercely. “But not till
then. Good afternoon, Mr. Lorimer,
and don’t forget your treatment of
Adams has cost you a few thousand
dollars more than If you’d been a white
man.”
When she was gone Lorimer sat
down at the telephone in turn. “Give
me 3427,” he told the operator at cen
tral.
“Hello' Is that you, Ellsworth? Say,
that woman spy that I gave those fake
papers to about the flue—well, I’ve
got tired of her. I'm sending her to
you.”
“The deuce you are, Lorimer,” an
swered Ellsworth.
“Yes. Cut down her wages, and
give her a few fake papers to betray to
me. I’ll keep on putting up fifty
weekly.”
“Say, Lorimer,” said Ellsworth in
annoyance, ‘‘isn’t this hobby of yours
a pretty expensive one?”
“Oh, well, I owed something to her
father,” said Lorimer. “Besides, Ells
worth, so long as we both employ her
we’ll know she isn’t betraying either
of us to the other, and with a woman
of Miss Ferguson’s ability it’s neces
sary to keep her out of mischief some
how. I call fifty apiece cheap, don’t
you? So long!”
Great Stream for Trout.
The Russian river in Alaska, which
empties into the Kenai about sixty
miles from Seward, is probably with
out an equal as a trout stream in the
world. Unfortunately it is difficult to
get to and few fishermen know any
thing about it. The stream would be
called a creek in the states, being
about 60 or 70 feet wide with an av
erage depth of five feet. It contains
both rainbow and Dolly Varden trout;
although the latter do not rank as
game fish among Alaskan anglers.
It is not difficult for a skillful an
gler to land 20 rainbows in a fore
noon’s fishing in Russian river, not one
of which will run less than three
pounds, while a fair proportion will
exceed six pounds. Fritz von Posth, a
miner, caught a rainbow in this stream
last summer weighing a shade under
22 pounds. These rainbows are fight
ers to the last ditch and wise to the
uth power. A novice in fishing would
soon be driven Xo desperation, as he
would get a strike at practically every
cast but no other tangible result than
a snnpped line or broken rod. By using
a large hook and big bait the smaller
trout are entirely avoided.
Trap-Shooting at Night.
Trap shooting by night has been
found perfectly practical at the Pale
Face Gun club at Wellington, Mass.,
where the trap boxes of one range
have recently been equipped with two
750-watt lamps which illuminate the
clay pigeons as they are hurled from
the trap. The lamps are Installed at
each side of the trap, parallel to each
other, and thoroughly light up the
area Into which the pigeons are flung
to a distance of about forty feet from
the trap. It is claimed . that trap
shooters are able to make better
scores when shooting by this light
than by daylight.
No Threats.
“Did you threaten the president of
the broken bank at Tumlinville into
paying back your money?” asked a
friend. "Shucks, no!” replied Mr. Gap
Johnson of Rumpus Ridge, Ark. “I
got to town along in the shank of the
evening, went to his house, kicked in
the door and found him in bed. I just
calmly drug him out by the hair of
the head, jammed my gun into his ear
and asked him whether he’d rather
gimme my ’leven dollars and a half
or keep the money to pay his funeral
expenses? That’s all.” —Kansas City

Decimal System for England.
According to the British and Colo

now a well-organized movement in
Great Britain to secure the immediate
adoption in that country of the deci
mal system of coinage and weights and
measures.
Tile handicap in securing new for
eign trade, with nine-tenths of the
world on the decimal basis, is the
prime argument in the propoganda,
and it is pointed out that In the even
keener trade competition after the war
this added handicap may prove ruin
