“I wish I had had sense enough to
stay on a Kansas farm.”
Instead of which he went Into the
army, gained fame and promotion by
spectacular deeds in the Philippines,
took Vera Cruz away from the Mexi-
cans temporarily and made it a clean
and habitable city, and now commands
the United States troops that are try-
ing to maintain order along the Rio
Grande. For the man who wished he
had stayed on a Kansas farm was
Maj. Gen. Fred Funston.
‘I was raised on a farm, and I
like the feel of the soil. It’s good to
ho-> potatoes and radishes and plow
corn,” he added.
“You got away from it about as
quickly as a farmboy ever did,” his
companion suggested •
“Yes, and I was a rattle-pated
youngster, with mighty little gump-
tion, too,” he returned.
General Funston consistently re-
fuses to be interviewed concerning
either the European war or the troubles in Mexico.
"1 talked too much when 1 came back from the Philippines once,” he
explained to a questioner. “Now the sphinx has nothing on me. The less
an army officer talks the better, anyway.”
LORD BERTIE OF THAME
:7-7;> * ’>

Back in 1903, when Balfour was
the British prime minister, the British
embassy at Rome fell vacant, Mr.
Balfour was at a loss to name the
right man to fill it, so he consulted
Sir Francis Bertie, the permanent
undersecretary of state.
“What sort of a man would you
put in?” asked Balfour. Sir Francis
sketched the ideal ambassador. He
must be this and that, he explained;
and ended by making a most incisive
picture of the person required for
Rome. “I see, I see,” said the other,
pondering. “Then, Sir Francis, I must
ask you to accept the post,” he added,
with a smile capable of dissolving the
most obstinate permanency.
Two years later Sir Francis was
transferred to the Paris embassy, and
he still holds the position there. In
all these years he has performed his
diplomatic and social duties so capably
and skillfully that in his seventy-first
year reward ha? come to him from the
crown. On the king s birthday he was raised to the peerage as a baron of
6 Kinsdom. His title, Baron Bertie of Thame, was a wise selection,
lor all the Berties are descended from the first and only Viscount Thame,
w o was a giandson of bir Henry Norris, ambassador to France in the six-
teenth century.-
Lord Bertie is a son of the sixth earl of Abingdon. Lady Bertie, a
daughter of Earl Cowley, belongs to the diplomatic world by birth and train-
ing as well as by marriage, and she belongs especially to Paris, for it was in
a ci y at she spent her youth when her father was ambassador. Both
the new baron and his wife are extraordinarily popular with the French.
SUBWAY SCULPTRESS
Boston always has been proud of
its subway, and now it boasts of its
wonderful subway sculptress, Miss
Bessie Paeff. She was awarded the
first prize for sculpture and modeling
in the Boston School of the Museum
of Fine Arts for thie year’s work,
and great things are predicted of her
by her teachers.
Any day and every day Bessie
Paeff may be found at the south end
of the Park street subway station.
She is the ticket seller there. She in-
tends to remain there, too, until she
has earned enough money to go to
Paris and study under Rodin.
As a child Bessie gave evidence of
having the artistic temperament. She
was graduated from high school and
entered an advanced class at the Bos-
ton School of the Museum of Fine
Arts. Thereafter Bessie Paeff allbwed
nothing to' interfere with her study of
art—nothing: but the selling of tickets
in Park street subway station. And
even here her art work is not neglected. Neither is her work in the subway
office. She takes pleasure in selling tickets, because it is the source from
which she has derived her success thus far as a sculptress.
HE QUITS DIPLOMACY
Nelson O’Shaughnessy, former
charge d’affaires of the United States
embassy in Mexico City, is no longer
on Uncle Sam's pay roll. He has
been separated automatically by the
provision of a law which prohibits a
longer period than 60 days of leave
with pay. "rivately, it is admitted at
the state department that Mr.
O’Shaughnessy is not expected to re-
enter active diplomatic service.
Mr. O’Shaughpessy acted as charge
for the United States embassy in Mex-
ico City from the time the last ambas-
sador, Henry Lane Wilson, was re-
called 'to Washington, until our diplo-
matic affairs were turned over to the
Brazilian mission when United States
troops took Vera Cruz. Mr:
O’Shaughnessy’s work during that
period was most trying, in view of the
openly hostile attitude of the United
States government toward President
Huerta. Despite this situation, it is
said that Mr. O'Shaughnessy was able
to protect his nationals more effectively than they have ever been protected
oefore or since.
HAD REAL IDEA OF ECONOMY
Jap Explains How Family Was En-
abled to Use One Fan Two or
Three Generations. ^
Among the Japanese economy is
held to be a high virtue. Two old mi-
sers of Tokyo were one day discussing
ways and means of saving.
“I manage to make a fan last about
twenty years,” said one, “and this is
my system: 1 don’t wastefully open
the whole fan and wave it carelessly.
I open only one section at a time.
That is good for about a year. Then
I open the next, and so on until the
fan is eventually used up.”
“Twenty years for a good fan!” ex-
claimed the other. “What sinful ex-
travagance! In my family we use a
fan for two or three generations, and
this is how we do it: We -open the
whole fan, but we don’t wear it out
by waving it. Oh, no! We bold it.
still, like this, under our nose, and
wave our face!”—Everybody’s.
Just as He Had Said.
“You remember selling me some
hair-restorer when I called the other
day to get shaved, you hoary-headed
old thief?” roared the indignant cus-
tomer. "You sold it under false pre-
tenses, sir. You said it would restore
my head to its original condition.”
“Well, didn’t it work?” asked the
barber.
“Work? No. It’s taken off what lit-
tle hair I used to have, and I am as
bald as the pavement now.”
“That’s quite right, sir. No false
pretense about that. I said it would
restore your head to its original condi-
tion, and you know, sir, most of us
are born bald.”
ACTS LIE DYNAMITE ON LIVE
I Guarantee “Dodson’s Liver Tone” Will Give You the Best Liveri
and Bowel Cleansing You Ever Had—Doesn’t Make You Sick
Stop using calomel! It makes you
sick. Don’t lose a day’s work. If you
feel lazy, sluggish, bilious of consti-
pated, listen to me!
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that aw-
ful nausea and cramping. If you feel
“all knocked out,” if your liver is tor-
pid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath is bad or stomach
sour just try a spoonful of harmless
Dodson’s Liver Tone.
Here’s my guarantee—Go to any
drug-store or dealer and get a 50-cent
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten
you right up and make you feel fin
and vigorous I want you to go back to
the store and get your money. Dod-
son’s Liver Tone is destroying the
sale of calomel because it is real livei
medicine; entirely vegetable, therefor
it cannot salivate c-r make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful
Dodson’s Liver Tone will put ycr
sluggish liver to work and clean you
bowels of that sour bile and cons"
pated waste which is clogging ycr
system and making you feel miserable
I guarantee that a bottle of Dodso
Liver Tone will keep your entire fa-
ily feeling fine for months. Give it t
your children. It is harmless; doesn’
gripe and they like its pleasant i&st
Tried Both.
The Widow—If you married agaiml
suppose you would want a woman of
intellect.
The Widower—Yes, but just about
medium.
The Widower—Medium?
The Widower—Yes. My first wife
was a strong-minded woman and my
second was a weak-minded woman and
one s about as bad as t’other.—Judge.
Speaking From Experience.
“Pa, what is the ‘first line of de-
fense’?”
“That depends on the circumstances,
son. If this country were at war, ftie
first line of defense would be the navy.
When a man’s married, it’s usually tfee
telephone line, by which he tries to
square himself before he comes home.”
The silk hat falls too often into the
hands of those who are strangers to
the art of scenic investiture.
Other people may have good taste,
but, of course, yours is a little better.
Feriod of Romance Ended.
“No more shall I heai nis footsteps
on yonder walk just as the clock
strikes eight.”
“Gracious Jeannette!”
“And the old parlor light will never
burn low for him again.”
“You don’t mean it?”
“Ido; and, furthermore, he will nev-
er sit on this sofa three nights a week
and call me pet names, as he has been
doing for two years.”
“I am astonished!”
“And tonight I am going to burn all
the old love letters in my chest of
drawers.”
“B-but why? Are you going to dis-
card him?”
“Discard him! Why, you goose, I
am going to marry him!”
NOT AS HE EXPRESSED THE
Implement Generally Used.
“Sir, we are starting a new railroad
and want your daughter to drive the
first spike.”
“I have no doubt she will consider
it an honor to officiate.”
“Thank you. We have provided a
small gold spike. Also a silver ham-
mer.”
“One minute. I don’t think she
could drive a spike with a hammer.
Better provide a hair brush.”
Paw Still on the Job.
Little Lemuel—What’s a bookworm,
paw?
Paw—It’s a worm that would rather
digest a book by eating it than by read-
ing it.
It is easy to get around anyone you
can manage to see through.
Teamster’s Words Would Have R
quired Adjustment Before Their
Use in the Pulpit.
A man was brought before a pollc
court charged with abusing his tea
and using loud and profane languag
on the street. One of the witnesse
was a pious- old darky, who was sub
mitted to a short- cross-examination.
“Did the defendant use improper
language while he was beating hlg
horses?” asked the lawyer.
“Well, he talk mighty loud, suh.’
“Did he indulge in profanity?”
The witness seemed puzzled. Th
lawyer put the question in another
form:
“What I mean, Uncle Aus, is—di
he use words that would be proper fo
your minister to use in a sermon?”
“Oh, yes suh,” the old man replie
with a grin that revealed the ful
width of his immense mouth; “bu
dey’d have to be ’ranged diff’runt.’

Acting in One Lesson.
“Do you think I could learn to be a
moving-picture actor?”
“Sure you could. Just remember
this one thing: A heaving chest de-
notes surprise, fear, hate or any other
emotion.”—Louisville Courier-Journal.
The password to the Tower of Lor

lieve a lie than the nude truth.
Surg'eon General Rupert Blue
of the U. S. Public Health
Service Says:
“I WANT TO WARN YOU AGAINST THE CRAZE PEOPLE
IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE FOR WHITE FLOUR. THE
WHITEST FLOUR IS NOT THE BEST; IT IS NOT THE
PUREST; IT IS ONLY THE DEAREST, AND WHEN YOU
BUY IT YOU BUY LOOKS AND NOT NOURISHMENT. IN
ORDER TO MAKE IT WHITE, SOME OF THE MOST NOUR-
ISHING AND ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF THE NATURAL
WHEAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY.”
These ‘nourishing and essential components” are the priceless mineral phosphates of the
grain, known as the “tissue salts,” indispensable for perfect health of body, brain and nerves.
Everywhere food scientists and physicians are sounding a like note of warning, for a host
of ills is following the pernicious practise of casting out these elements in the milling process,
and that, simply to make the flour look white and pretty. Neurasthenia, anemia, Bright’s disease,
constipation, rickets, and a lowered resistance against disease in general, are some of these ills.
More and more thinking people are waking up to this evil. There’s a way out.
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
made of whole wheat and barley, retains all the nutriment of the grains and those “essential
components”—the mineral elements. This splendid food was devised years ago to supply
this very lack in ordinary food and fortify the system against the onslaughts of disease. It does
it wonderfully well.
Grape-Nuts comes ready to eat, convenient, economical and nourishing, and has become a
household word in thousands of homes for its sterling food values and delicious flavor.
“There’s a Reason’’ for Grape-Nuts
—sold by Grocers everywhere.
