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 field'Republican. 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.” THF, DOfGLASENTERFRfsETHuWWMI^^^M 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 Star. W. L. DOUGLAS “THE SHOE THAT HOLDS ITS SHAPE” $3.00 $3.50 $4.00 $4.50 & $5.00 Save Money by Wearing W. L. Douglas shoes.
