“Xo,” said the colonel, “I never
bad anything to do with the
rangers.”
“Well, tell me," persisted Miller,
“is the title merely assumed? Hsv#
you no right to it 5 '”
"Certainly I have a right to it—
(bo best kind of right,” replied the
colonel in an offended tone. "If
you must know how I got it I’ll tell
you. I inherited it." ,
"Inherited it I” ejaculated Miller.
"From whom, your father?"
“No, sir. From Colonol James
8mith, who died two years ago. I
married his widow.” — New York

Bogus Bohemlanlsm.
The real bohemian docs not wish
to be put on show for the delecta
tion of persons who do not under
stand him. There is a story told of
Maurico Barrymore which lllus-
ii.;: g along at some dis
tance. from one another, when a
prang out of an ambush
i tig; little hoy who brought

of the party, being

tic. no. | j, fnT mo school children going by

jtud sat upon him, snarling at
uiier hoy of-the party, an eight-
old youngster, who came to
bin brother. The brave boy
ill his right hand a milk bottle

one of iho cougar’s ears and with
! the bottle bdgan to beat the snarl
ing beast over the head. At the
third or fourth blow the bottle
brojic and a hundred fragments of
glass were scattered about. It
possible that some of the fragments
entered tho cougar’s blazing eyes,
for as soon ns the bottle broke he
let go his hold and ran off, plungin,
into the bushes, from which he dii
not again emerge.
Meanwhile the unhurt children
took the wounded boy into a neigh
boring farmhouse. The wounds
were all flesh wounds and when they
had been dressed the little follow
‘grew quite animated in his account
of tho adventure.—Seattle Poet-In

Sharing the Birthdays.
In Japan they have a very simple
method of dealing with birthday
celebrations, tho people waiving ail
cluitn to their individual natal day.
There are two general birthdays,
one for each sea. The male birth
day, which is known as “the cele
bration of tho hoys,” occurs on the
third day of the third month and
the “celebration of the girls” on the
fifth day of the fifth month. These
days are general holidays for the
young. The birthday of the mikn-’
do, or ten-o, .is he is more properly
tdrmed, is also a general holiday
throughout the country, tile houses
being decorated with flags and in
numerable colored lanterns.
i-icaiD uia u»t on tui hooil
(rates this point. Kntering a famoui
bohemian club in New York one
night, he found a lot of commercial
men in full possession. They greet
ed “Barry” effusively. He had hard
ly got himself “fairly sat” when one
of them slapped Inn on tho back
end said, "Barry, s|K-ak us a piece.”
Then u chorus said: “Yes, get fun
ny, old man. Cut up. We’ve all
heard that you were a great enter
tainer.” Burry glared around for
a moment ami then said, “I'll do a
handspring for von, gentlemen, but
I can’t apeak a piece.” Then lie
reached through the silence nnd
picked his hat olT the hook. That
was the last time he entered the
club.
Th. Taciturn Man.
Mrs. Van Vorst, the author of
“The Woman Who Toils,” had many
amusing and odd adventures during
her life as a worker. One adventure
that has not heretofore been printed
concerned a taciturn man.
She met this man on a Xew Eng
land road mending a worm fence.
“Can you tell me,” she said to
bint, “how far it is from here to the
next town?"
Uo pointed forward. “Milestone
little further o»-will tell you,” he
growled.
Budeness such as this vexed Mrs.
Van Vorst. “But the milestone will
be no good to mo, for 1 can't read,”
she said.
Thereupon the taciturn man
chuckled a little. “Ho, ho," he
said. “It is just the kind of mile
stone for people that can’t read, for
>11 the writin'a been washed off of
it” •
Didn’t Need H.lp.
The late Her. George Koenig, a
Brooklyn clergyman, who was rath
er puritanical in hia views, rebuked
one of hia parishioners whom he
aaw with her hair profusely curled.
*If the Lord intended tout hair to
enri,” bo raid, “ha would hare curl
ed it for you.” Whereupon the
young lady replied eaneily:
“He did when I was a baby, bat
sow I am quit# abla to curl it my
self”

If the dream of international
peace is ever approached—it seems
too much in the course "of human
nature to expect that it will ever he
thoroughly realized—one factor in
reducing the belligerency of the
world to a "minimum will he the
cost of war. F’roni a humane ami
moral standpoint there is little toi
be viid of war as an anomaly ol
modern civilization which has not
been said. Tbe cost of war is a
frightful item in the expense ac-’
count of nations, nor is thin ex
pense of llie present cost alone;
there remain the war taxes to
plague the people and hamper ef
forts to repair the ravages of war,
and tho destruction of industries de

and prosperity.—Baltimore Ameri

King Gay.
“One of tho tiny islands of the
Hawaiian group is owned outright
by an American named Gay,” said
Mr. E. T. Cornwell of San Francisco.
“As a mutter of fact this little do
main of 70,000 acres is a monarchy
over which Gay is king, but he is
one of the kindest and most phil
anthropic despots ever known. In
stead of oppressing hia subjects he
docs them tho greatest good and
pays them well for the service they
render him.
“Hia principal business la the rais
ing of sheep, and from it he derives
a revenue that supports himself and
wife royally. The other inhabit
anti, to the number of 100, are a
very good people cud are absolutely
loyal to King Gay, whose slightest

A Natural Marksman.
Marksmen are born, not made,
as Horace might have said. A man
who had been in the navy only three
weeks was a member of one of the
crews mnnning a 6 pound gun on
a recent target practice cruise of th
Texas. He aimed the gun—tl:
first time lie.had ever done auch a
thing—and hit the target at a thou
sand yards. 'Then, just to show
that it was not luck, he hit tin
target nine times more in succes <

FOR LUNG TROUBLE
The discovery that old Corn Whiskey made by*
the “Primitive Method” has ,the best ingredients for
staying the inroads of Consumption and Tubercular
troubles and can be retained on the stomach, when
even French brandy fails, has resulted in a tremen-
(Jous demand on our stock by physicians. More of
Rose's Whiskies are prescribed than all other brands
combined. Tour doctor will toll you why.
