GOOD LESSON FOR MICHAEL
Disobliging Coachman Got a Merited
Rebuke From His Thought-
ful Employer.
The late Mr. H. B. Claflin, who
was one of the great merchants of
the last generation, lived for many,
years at Kingsbridge, one of the sub-
urbs of New York. It was his whim
to have each morning before break-
fast a drink of cold water fresh from
a spring near the house.
One very rainy morning the
pitcher was not in its usual place,
and he asked the waitress why it was
missing.
“Why, Mr. Claflin,” she said, “it
was raining so hard and is so muddy
that I was afraid if I went after
the water I should be too soiled to
wait on the table. I asked Michael
to get it for me, but he said it was
his business to look after the horses
and carriages, not to run errands.”
“Oh!” said Mr. Claflin thought-
fully. “Perhaps he is right, Ella.
Please tell him I want the victoria.”
Ten minutes later, with much
trampling of hoofs and champing of
bits, the carriage drew up at the
door, with Michael on the box in his
rubber coat and hat cover.
“Come, Ella,” said Mr. Claflin,
“get your pitcher;” and taking her
by the arm, he walked down the
front steps and helped her into the
carriage.
“Michael,” said he, “drive Ella to
the spring and back, so she can get
me some water without muddying
herself.”
Ever after Michael used to fill the
pitcher on rainy mornings without
even waiting to be asked.
MISUNDERSTOOD
#
NOVEL USE FOR TELEPHONE
Surgeons Employ Instrument to Deter-
mine the Exact Location
of Bullets.
War is a stimulus to science, and
this is reflected very strikingly in
matters pertaining to the relief of
the wounded. The search for and
extraction of fragments of shells is
no simple matter, although surgical
endeavor has been facilitated by the
perfection of the X-rays. But these
are insufficient. A bullet may *be
located speedily, but the difficulty
is to ascertain its precise position by
the probe and lancet. As a result of
study and investigation a simple and
effective method of discovery has
been perfected, which may be de-
scribed as telephoning for bullets.
Ordinary telephonic receivers are
clamped over the surgeon’s head, one
wire being led to a carbon plate and
the second wound round the knife,
probe, needle, forceps or whatever
instrument is used. With this im-
plement the search is made, and di-
rectly it comes into contact with,
say, a bullet, a distinct click is
heard on the telephone. If the in-
strument is rubbed across the sure
face of the buried object a rattle is
observed, and by following this clue
it is possible to withdraw the bullet
or fragment of metal. The idea is
by no means new, inasmuch as it
was employed for the first time dur-
ing the Boer war; but the present
campaign has served to bring it to
a high state of perfection.
CAT!
MOTHBALLS A WAR LUXURY*
Rrlca of Pungent Marble® Haa Been
Quadrupled Since Hostilities
A Began.
The war haa affected various
household and commercial necessi-
ties in the past nine months, but who
for an instant thought that the com-
mon mothball would become a lux-
ury? Such is the case, however, and
the housewife is just beginning to
realize that there is not only a dearth
in the supply, but that they have in-
creased almost four times in price.
And right in the middle of house-
cleaning period and packing away of
the winter furs and garments she
is learning it to her dismay. To the
pawnbroker and storage house pro-
prietor this is also unwelcome news.
Before the war mothballs were as
cheap as clothespins. Then it was
that Mrs, Homebody coul& run
around to Jhe corner drug store
about this time of the year and buy
six pounds for a quarter. Now that
amount will buy her but a little
more than a pound of the pungent
crystallized balls.
All this, wholesale dealers in
pharmacists’ supplies say, is due to
the war, and they explain it in this
manner: Before the war England
sent to. this country most of the
naphthalene, of which mothballs are
made. Since last August not a ship-
ment has been made.

“Yes, always.”
HERE’S PROBLEM IN SAVING.
One dollar at five per cent com-
pound interest for 1,000 years would
amount to 104 quintillion, 69 quad-
rillion, 620 trillion, 917 billion, 985
million, 83 thousand, 392 dollars
$104,069,620,917,985,083,392). This
ia the result obtained by Edwin
Soule, a freshman in the Newport
high school, says a Marysville (Pa.)
dispatch to the Philadelphia North
American.
Assistant Principal G. W. Barnitz
of the school wagered young Soule
that the could not solve the problem.
Soule worked until midnight one
night, consuming two tablets and
four pencils. He received his dollar.
ANTISTRENUOU3.
Askitt—I say, old man, how did
you happen to marry a widow ?
Easyun—Well, you see, I did my
courting as I do everything else—
along the line of least resistance.
WHERE MATCHES ARE MADE.
Teacher—Ethel, can you tell me
where most of the matches are made ?
Ethel—I’m not sure, but I guess
if* Germany, Sweden or heaven.
“How do you. like my hat ?”
“I like it very much. I always did
life that hat.”
GUIDE TO JAPANi,
Walk up five months, beginning
with January, turn sharply to your
right, and there is June.
June is noted for its roses and
honeymoons. There are more deso-
lated households in June, on account
of outgoing brides, than at any other
time. Also more households where
mamma experiences a grand feeling
of relief and papa hopes that now
expenses can be cut down.
To enjoy June properly, take an
early start. Begin to make your
plans about it iu March. Get rid of
your moral courage, your character
and your regular business. Then,
grabbing all the money there is in
the cash drawer, enter June with
confidence and give yourself up to it
with the complete serenity of house-
less irresponsibility.—Life.

LOGIC.
Helen—Turn down the light, Bob,
and then we can talk about love.
Bob—But, my dear, we will then
be iu the dark about it.—Judge.
A FITTING REASON,.
“Why do they call the national
card game poker?”
“Possibly because the winner shov-
els in the cash.”
LIMITATIONS.
r~ —
“A statesman is supposed to be
familiar with all public questions.”
“Yes,” replied Miss Cayenne, “but
not necessarily with all the answers.”
•T-.-r
VAGUE MEANING.
“Did your husband like our im-
ported wine?”
“He was just full of it when he
came home.” : ,
PERSISTENT CHANGE.
“What are your ideas of the best
form of government?”
, “Oh,” replied the restless agitator;
“it isn’t a question of what kind of
a government we’re after. It’s mere-
ly getting rid of the one at present
in operation.”
AWKWARD SITUATION.
“For two dollars- I will foretell
your future.”
“Are you a genuine soothsayer?’’
“lam.”
“Then you ought to know that I,
haven’t got two dollars.”
NO WONDER.
“There is one class of employed
men who are expected to strike.”
“Who are they?”
“Baseball batters.”
NO DOUBT.
“Cotton has some dire possibilities
as an investment.”
'“Naturally; cotton is a hale-ful
subject.”
THE ONE EXCEPTION.
“You have no cross to bear,” said
the husband.
“Only when you are as cross as a
bear,” replied the wife.
Germany Making Use of Other Mate-
rials—British Ate Kippers After
Mud Was Scraped Off.
A Belgian officer, during a brief
holiday from the trenches on the
Yser, told a London Daily Express
representative that the buttons on
the coats of all the German soldiers
recently captured by the Belgians
are made of bone instead of copper,
while the time fuses of German
shells are now exclusively made of
aluminum.
Private George Gallon, who is
serving in the trenches at La Bas-
see, writing to his sister in Leeds,
says: “We had four kippers for
breakfast in the trench, and the Ger-
mans started to shell us while they
were cooking. One shell hit the
front of the trench and filled the
frying pan full of dirt. So we had
to scrape the kippers before eating
them, hut they were quite all Tight.”
An Austrian officer taken prisoner
by the Serbians was highly indig-
nant because he was carried to prison
in an oxcart—the usual mode of con-
veyance in Serbia. He declared:
“When you have the honor of tak-
ing an Austrian officer prisoner yon
should at once escort him to head-
quarters in a motor car.” The Ser-
bian replied: “We have that honor
many times, but we haven’t so many
motor cars.” ... i
AN ERRATIC MOVIE.
“Tippler reminds me of a moving
picture.” ^
“How?”
“Coming home from the club in
seven reels.”
FATHER’S WORRY.
“I suppose you worry a good deal
lest your daughter marry the wrong
man ?”
“Not so much as I do for fear she
may not marry at all.”
MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
“That woman walking on the
other side of the street is my bete
noire.”
“Oh, no, she isn’t. That’s Bet
Jones.”
PAW GOT IT RIGHT. "s
Little . Lemuel—What’s a cynic,
paw?
Paw—A cynic, son, is a busybody
who meddles in the affairs of other
people and neglects his own.
LOOKED NEW TQ
Randolph—Is that Buxton’s new
girl with him ?
Sylvester—Oh, no; that’s just one
of his old ones painted over.—Judge.
THE WAR GOD.
Bix—By the way, who is, or,
rather, was, the god of war?
Dix—I’ve forgotten the duffer’s
name, but I think it was Ananias.
THE KIND.
“Did that actor who thinks so
much of himself get auy notices in
his last engagements ?”
“Oh, yes; two weeks’ notices.” . 1
