I'm 'fraid that speech I made to Cal won't make him want me for a pal but I'll say what I think, by jing, to any president or king. I told him, as we drove away we'd had a mighty pleasant stay, and if he didn't choose to sign his name upon the dotted line of that McNary-Haugen "bill when it is passed again, that still I'd like to have him visit be back home upon the farm, by gee, and if he needs a job, I can just use him as a hired man. He shook my hand and said that he was sure that he'd remember me, and even though we disagreed 'bout how to cure the farmer's need, he hoped I wouldn't take it hard, and now and then drop him a card. When we had hit the homeward trail Sary Jane says, "You never faO when you are out, to do some trick that shows to folks that you're a hick. The way that you embarass me, just makes me want to cry ,by gee." Say I, "I don't know what I've done, I know I had a lot of fun, but if my manners I forgot, I wish you'd kindly tell me what." "You ought to know," Sary Jane said, "you snored all night up there in bed and et your pancakes with your kni£e, I wished I hadn't been your wife. I'd think for my sake that you might, on such occasions, be polite." There didn't seem a thing to say and so I drove most all that day without a word from her or me, it was a peaceful day, by geel THE WORLD'S GREAT EVENTS ALBfeRT PAYSON TERHUNB The reason babies don't talk for a year or so is, they can get anything they want by yelling. A southern old lady saw old Rastus setting out with his fishing tackle for a day on the river, and she thought it a fitting time to rebuke him for his notorious idleness, since she and everybody else knew" that his entire family was supported by Rastus' old wife as a washerwoman. "Rastus," she said severely, "do you think it is right to leave your wife hard at work over the wash tub while you pass your time fishing?" "Yassum, ma'am," replied the old darkey earnestly. "It's all right. Mah wife don't need watching. She'll wuk jes' as hard as if I was dah!" Many a smart beach flapper will be a sluggish school miss. 0. W. KLONTZ, M. D.

Three married men met over a reunion dinner; and talked and wined until the hour was very late. Feeling remorseful, each decided he would return home and obey his wife's j first command, it being understood! that if one failed to do so be would pay for the next dinner. The next week they met again. Said No. 1: "When I got home I was unlucky enough to stumble against the old grandfather clock in-, the hall, and at once my wife shouted down to me: "That's right, break the elock!" So I broke it." 'That's curious," said No. 2. "I fell against the hatstand, and my wife : houted: 'That's right, break the hat-1 stand!' So, of course, I did." "That's funny," said No. 3. "When I was creeping upstairs I slipped back a few steps, and my wife called out: 'That's right, break your neck!' and so-well, the dinner's on me." tfr k® hy Do<1(1, Mead A Company.) Columbua- CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, Genoese mariner, student and ex-plrate fighter, livcurred charges of heresy ^and insanity In the latter part of the -Fifteenth century by evolving the Idea that the earth was round and that by sailing west from Europe one might in time hope to arrive in the East Indies. After many failures he succeeded In interesting Queen Isabella of Spain and a capitalist named Pinzon in his great idea. With a fleet of three little ships, manned by a crew of felons and other offscourings of European ports, he began his supposedly insane Journey which later proved successful. 'Criminals and beggars, led by a fanatic on a mad cruise, made possible by the generous whim of an uneducated woman! On October 12, 1462, Oolunfous reached San Salvador Island. Three later voyages he made, opening up other parts of the new continent. For reward he fell Into disgrace, was Imprisoned and died In poverty and obscurity, with no realisation whatever .lculable Importance of his voles. After him John end Sebasi Cabot father and son, explored North America In the name of the miserly King Henry Vtl of England (the "Henry of Richmond" who conquered and succeeded Richard ID), and were informed by that worthy monarch that their voyage was a failure. Sir Walter Raleigh a few years later colonised Virginia and Introduced tobacco Into Europe. He named the newly settled province after BUsabetb, the "Virgin Queen" of England. His reward was imprisonment and execution. Captain John Smith followed him, making the Virginia settlements permanent and opening up New England. He, too, died obscure and In poverty. Balboa, in the "SSTe of Spain's king, pushed on from Darien across a trackless wilderness and discovered the Pacific. He was beheaded. The Spaniard De Soto explored the great Southwest, discovering the Mississippi river and finding an untimely grave In Its waters. Pliarro and Oortez. Spanish adventurers, conquered Mexico and Peru. The former explorer was banished from Charles Vs court, th$ latter was murdered In his palace. Hendrlk Hudson, English sailor In the Dutch merchant service, discovered New York In 1609, landing first at Coney Island, "then stopping at Manhattan Island and then proceeding up the river that now bears his name to a point north of Albany. Later, while exploring Hudson's bay in search of the North pole, he was cast adrift In a small boat by his own men and left to die. Cartler and other adventurers meantime had "put Canada on the map" as French territory. So much for discoverers and explorers. They risked their lives, their fortunes, their wjiole careers, not for themselves, but for the greater wealth and glory of the kings they served. Their final reward In nearly every case was poverty, disgrace or execution. Never before or since was the maxim "Put not your trust In princes" so terribly verified as In the Instances of these Fifteenth and Sixteenth century heroes. They are Immortal In fame, but their earthly recompense was shame and death. Roughly speaking, America was divided up among Europe's nations as follows: Spain held the Far South; England, the Virginian and adjacent colonies; the Dutch ruled New York; England, the New England colonies; end the French, Canada. mm Twice T old ^ Interesting Bits of News Takes From the Columns of PtUndesler Fifty ( ^Twenty-five Years Ago October, 1877 Roll Waite has opened a new meat market in Curtis old shop, where he will hereafter be found at all times ready to serve those who may give him a call, with the choicest meats of all kinds, both fresh and salt, and also all kinds of vegetables in their season.

It is perhaps the first play in many seasons that can claim comparison with the work of George Bernard Shaw at his best. "The heroine, wife of Fabius, as- *sert8 the idea laid down in "Man and Superman'--that in courtship woman is naturally the &ggr§ssor--on direct and uncompromising lines. One of the most emphatic charms of the performance is the manner in which* it turns a situation which threatens to be philosophically sound into a laughing episode. "There is something of a reminder of 'Hamlet' in a dress suit, only the process is reversed, as the wearers of the ancient Karb in burnishad splendor express themselves in the latest and most unrestrained liberalr ities of vernacular. "The play is a romping series of, anachronisms, resting its claim to consideration squarely on the fact that love and humanity have been immutably the same throughout the centuries. "The auditor may take his choice and regard the play either as a delicious though perhaps indelicate ae> lineation of feminine escapade, or as a collo«sal satire on the hollow yet terrible ambitions that depend on wiur." backed by greater home power than were any of the other settlers, ex- j cept perhaps the Trench. 8o by 1655 England held all the Atlantic coast north of Florida and south of Canada. War sprang up between the French and English colonists, the Indians siding with the French. After a long and bloody struggle the English finally won. England, however, neglected and oppressed her American colonies, falling to send them succor, levying heavy and unjust taxes; allowing them no representation ; In parliament and sending Incompetent men to govern them. For centuries dissatisfaction Increased throughout the thirteen colonies, and In 1775 they formally banded together against the mother country, and in the following year' drew up the Declaration of Independence, casting off forever the yoke of Monarchy. The eight-year war followed, wherein the weak little colonies, under George Washington's glorious leadership, fought with varying success for their rights, at last winning complete victory and freedom. The new Union, stlii undter Washington's guidance, began Its career as a republic. Despite a second yvar with England^ hi 1^L2, and the jgeedless, tragic Civil wnrbetween North and South, in 1861-1865, the country fias grown anJ prospered as none other In all history; taking Its plnce among the greatest nations on enrtli and winning the respect of those who In Earlier days predicted speedy collapse for the mighty young republic, and setting a high example of government, freedom and patriotism^ tf the world at large. was present and gave a talk on bedding and linen.
