choice In shakinir from his restless feet

who wore beaten olY during a six hour

their chief. After six months of hard

“TELL IT TO THE MARINES.”
l*c|i>«C Version of III* Oi-litln of the
■expression !•>• Charles II,
The snj lug, "Tell II to the marines,”
Is traced to I'epys, the author of the
famous "IMary," and it Is said by him
to have originated with Charles II. of
England. '-II so befell," as I lie story
goes, "that Ills light hearted majesty,
with an exceedingly bored expression
on Ids swarthy face, was strolling in
the shade with the Ingenious Mr.
I’epys, secretary to the admiralty. "I
had speech ,\csler'ell at lieptford,’ said
Mr. I’epys, 'with the captain of the
licfrynnee, wlm liaili lately returned
from the Indies and who told me the
two most wouderful things that over,
1 think, I did hear in my life.' Among
the stories told were of llsli Hying In
the air. T'lsh Hying In the all'!' ex
claimed Ills majesty. 'Ila, hn! A ipialnt
conceit, which ‘lucre too good to spoil
wl' keeping Wlmt ho, sir' lie turned
mid beckoned the colonel, Sir William
Kllllgrcw of the newly raised marl
time regiment of foot, who was fol
lowing In close conversation with Iho
Dltko of York 'we would discourse
with you on a matter touching your
own element. What say you. colonel,
to m mail who swears ho hath seen
lislies to My lii tho alr?'
“'I should say, sire,” returned the
sea soldier simply, 'that the man hath
sailed In southern seas, for when your
majesty's business carried me thither
of.late I did freiptently observe more
Hying fllali In one hour than the halt's
of my head In number.'
"Old Rowley glanced narrowly at tbe
colonel's frank, weather beaten face.
Then, \x 11li a laugh, lie turned to the
secretary.
“'Mr. l'epys,' said lie, 'from the very
nature of their calling no class of our
subjects can have so wide a knowledge
of sens and lands as the otllcers and
men of our loyal maritime regiment.
Henceforth 'ere ever we east doubts
upon a tale that laeketh likelihood we
will tlrst tell It to the marines.’ "—

A rough and ready method o f cal
culating the weight of a piece of Ice
Is afforded by the fact that a cubic
foot of this substance weighs approxi
mately 67.25 pounds. First measure
(ho breadth, length and height of the
cake, and tho three results, being mul
tiplied, will give the number of cubic
inches. If this answer he tu turn
multiplied by .o:$:t the approximate
number of pounds will result. For
instance, a cake S by l) by 10 Inches
contains 720 cubic Inches. This multi
plied by .033 gives 23% pounds, the
correct weight of such a piece of ice.

Ask any farmer who uses a Studebaker farm wagon and he^
will tell you that it lias cost him less for repairs and has given
him longer service than any other wagon he ever owned.
The Studebakers are the largest vehicle manufacturers in the world; they get
first pick of materials; have unusual facilities; their more than fifty years experi
ence has shown them how to build the best vehicle on earth. These reasons have put
Studebaker Vehicles and Harness
in the front rank. Exceptional materials, exceptional facilities, exceptional experi
ence, exceptional skill, produce exceptional goods. You don’t buy a wagon or car
riage or a set of harness very often. Why not be sure you arc getting the best?
The more you investigate the Studebaker turn, the more you will be satisfied as
to its superioritv. It’s the kind of bargain which the longer —
you have it the better you like it. Come in and see.
