really CAREFUL MOVIXO
The town of Dobbs Ferry, in
Xew York, has the real thing
iu the way of a carofui mover. He
is a careful mover any way you
want to look at* It.
One hundred anj four different
'-irues did he move .*10 perpipatetic
household things of Mrs. Anua Pal
mer Draper back an<t forth between
her city and siimme; homes. so
caxeful was he and so grateful was
sh-» because he was so carcfu] tliat
her will, just probated, provides
hiui with a legacy of $5,00i).
Of course, it is barely possible
that neither he uor any of his
strong-arm crew ever yielded to the
natural Impulse to drop the kitchen
r:iu5e on the concrete, back-door
%v Uk or make the cheva] mirror
serve, en transit, as a tray for the
sowing machine. Buo as to that
we in this neck ol the woods re
luiro being shown.
But. even if they did, this man
is obviously a mos; careful mover
—he moved so carefully that Mrs.
Draper never knew auything about
the twisted picture frames, the
broken china or the coal soot in
the piano and thus she passed away
without having undergone pangs
which a good many of us are com
pelled to endure ou tha first of
every May.
The Dobbs Ferry mover should
bo public-spirited and come this
way on an evangelizing tour. If he
can teach our movers how to move
us without "busting'' everything we
have, we shall rise Up r.nd call
him blessed. But even if he cau
teach them how to make us believe
nothing has been busted, without
reforming them in any oii'er way,
we shall be much happier than we
;;r •» now—perhaps to the extent of
remembering them in our wills.
JISTICE FOR ALASKA IX SIGHT
Xow that President Wilson iu his
annual message, read to congress on
December S, ha« declared himself
heartily in favor of Secretary of
Commerce Redfield iu his fight for
more aids to navigation, and for
a v.-ire-drag survey in order td dis
cover pinnacle rocks in the waters
of Alaska, it is probable that con
gress will bestir itself in order to
furnish the badly needed funds to
do this work, and thug make the
waters fairly safe for out large fish
ing fleets.
It is hoped also that congress! will
furnish the funds asked for by the
secretary in order to provide the
t". S. Bureau of Fisheries with the
much needed vessels for properly
carrying on its work in Alaska. A*
the present time the burea-i has but
one vessel—and that one unsuitable
for use except1 in the protected
waters of Southeast Alaska—for
carrying on its important Alaska
work. Owing to the lack of suit
able vessels Canadian halibut fish
ermen are continually fishing on
the territorial banks and making
bases of operation of the many
bays and harbors along th® Alaska
coast.—Pacific Fisharman.

Ideal Husbands Want
Ideal Wives For
Helpmeets
By GEORGE MIDDLETON.
■ Playwright
THE ideal wife for each man ia
the wife who makes that man
happiest, who can give him
what he likes and wants. If he is
a modern man—really modern—his
ideal is the modern woman, the
comrade on the same plane of evo
lution as himself. IF HE WANTS
A COOK AND SERVANT LET
HIM MARRY THE WOMAN
WHOSE WHOLE AMBITION IS
TO BR A COOK AND SERV
ANT.
The ideal husband is the man
who brings out the best in his wife.
The trouble with the husband of to
day is that he doesn't understand
the modern woman.
THE DISTINCTIVELY MODERN
WOMAN HAS REAL DIFFICULTY
IN FINDING THE SORT OF MAN
WHOM SHE OUGHT TO MARRY.
Some of the happiest marriages
I know arc those in which both hus
band and wife are contributing to
the expenses of the household.

have the children read the tales stood

given the assignment to render to his
own language tbe story of the (Jargons,
did so in these terms:
"The Oorgons were three slaters that
lived In the islands of tbe Hesperldea,
somewhere In the Indian ocean. They
had long snakes for halt, tusks for
teeth and claws for nails, and tbey
looked like women, only mors hor-1

When Delaware Produced Ira*.
In colonial times and during the ear
ly years of national life Delaware was
of considerable relative lmi>ortance as
a producer of Iron ore for bloomerles

mining Industry ceased to exist and
no Iron ore has been produced In the

mineral products of Delaware now are
obtained from quarries, sand and

CAMELS IN WAR.
Tamerlane Made a Curious Use of
Them at Delhi.
Tbe came! hits for centuries floured
tn tbe warfare of the east. History
contains no tnore interesting example
of the use of camels than that devised
by the conqueror Tamerlane. This
warrior, born lu the summer of 133G.
rod of a humble Asiatic chieftain, rose
by the sharpness of wit and strength
of arm to be master of twenty-seven
kingdoms extending from what Is now
tbe region of Moscow clear through
India. Tamerlane was a terrible fig
ure and a mighty warrior. In those
days men fought with brute force rath
er than with engines of war. Tbe
•word was the chief weapon of offense.
After a mighty struggle Tamerlane
made himself potentate over the im
mediate nations of Asia ai.d gave to
the city of Samarkand a brilliant place
in history. One by one the Asiatic sul
tana came under bis sway. India was
the rich prize, and against It Tamer
lane determined to move. This was in
139S. With bis host he crossed tlie
Indus, marched to Delhi and stood in
arms before the gates. The Indian sul
tan. at the head of 50.000 soldiers and
a herd of elephants, whose tusks bore
poisoned swords, rushed upon the in
raders. Tamerlane was sore pressed,
and the battle might have gone against
him bad he U"t fallen back on his
camels. Hastily gathering a troop of
the beasts, he had (hem loaded with
hay. Then, settinu the hay on (ire.
Tamerlane's soidh rs ■•t.impeded the
camels toward the ra'nks of the Indi
ans. The elephants, at tin-sight of the
blazing ha\. wheelrd round and tied

A Singular Marriage Ferst.
Polynesia is probably the only place
In the world where the marriage feast
takes place without the presence of tbe
bridegroom. I "or some unexplained rea
son the young man is "sent iDto the
bush" when the bride becomes a mem
ber of his family, and he Invariably
remains there during the subsequent
festivities. It is only when the guests
have departed and the girl Is left alone
with her parents that messengers are
dispatched for him.
Beeswax.
To make beeswax place comb In a
conrse muslin bag and put a smnll
stone to weight the contents; put In
kettle, cover with water and boil. The
wax comes to the top of the water,
and tbe sediment remains In the bot
tom of the kettle. Remove wax when
cold.
Just a Question.

hollow?"—London Telegraph.
