Doom Kaiser Plot
Is Denied by Dutch
Amsterdam.—Dutch newspapers Sat
urday indignantly denied that German
monarchist activities are in progress at
Doom, where the former kaiser is liv
ing in exile. It was pointed out that
both Doom and VVieringen, where the
ox-crown prince is living, are under
surveillance by the Dutch government
and that no such activities would be
allowed. _
Manchester, Eng.—The former Ger
man crown prince is anxious to start
BKe af resh either at home in Germany
or in the United States, said a dispatch
ito&he Guardian Friday. Although a
monarchist at .heart, he confided to
friends at Wieringen that he wants to
Co back to Germany as a private cit
izen.
On the 'other hand, added the dis
patch, the former kaiser is still “kaiser
in his own mind. He lives in a world
of romance just as he used to do.”
According to this writer, the ex
kaiser has not yet given up hope of re
turning to Germany.
Emily Has Sudden
Change of Heart
Chicago.—"Judge, this .man's been
•-bothering the life out of me."
Mrs. Emily Reisdel told Juage Fran
cis Borelli in Englewood court of the
too ardent attentions of George Lyons.
"Why, Emily, how can you say that
to the judge when you know I gave
you the money to get a divorce so you
could marry me?" asked George.
"Gave it to me? You lent it to me.”
"I gave it to you, woman."
Then Emily had a change of heart.
She jumped for George and threw her
Arms around his neck.
"Oh, hooey, you gave it to me! I
sure do love you,” she said, while the
court room rocked with laughter.
•‘‘You’ll never leave me, will you?”
“Discharged!” said the judge.
Declares Ptarmigan
Are Mathematicians
"There never were so many ptar
migan in Willow creek as there are
this year,” said Mike Sherry, well
known miner, to an Anchorage Times
man, recently. "They are so thick it
is sometimes necessary to help the lit
tle fellows out of the wheel track and
acroes the ditch to the grass. Well, I
was coming down the road the other
day with another sourdough and ran
iutoaeovey of little ptarm. I picked
them up and put them into my hat.

The mother bird objected and came
up close, quarreling all the time about
monkeying with her babies.
“Ilf von think a ptarmigan .cannot
■count,’ said my friend, 'just try to hold
>out one of the babies on her and see
what she will do.’
‘M sat down on a rock with nay hatful
of ptarmigan chicks .on my my knee,
and the mother approached almost to
mv boot and demanded her family. I
,put down one ptarmigan, and retained
tbe other seven. She led it away and
cached it in the grass and came back
saying something like, 'Kick in with
another chick.’ I kept doling out
chicks and she kept hiding them away,
meantime having hidden one in my
shirt front. When 1 put down the
seventh chick I told the mother that
was all. Do you think she’d believe it?
Not a bit; she kept saying ‘Go way, go
way,’ like ptarmigan always do. I
,-finally put down the hat and let her
kick in it, but she made an examina
tion and then looked up as much as to
say ‘Kick in with another ptarmigan;
you’re holding one out on me.’
“Finally I handed her the other
chick and she hustled him off, looked
back, said 'Go way,’ and went her way.
Don’t tell me ptarmigan can’t count.”
An Easier Dry Law or
a Bigger Jail Needed
Loraine, O.—Authorities of Loraiue
must relent iu their activities against
liquor law violators or provision must
be made for additional prison facilities.
This became known tuday following
a conference between the county com
missioners and the municipal judge.
The commissioners asked suspension
of portious of dnes of some of the pris
oners in the county jail at Elyria,
which is jammed with liquor law vio
lators.
“If the jail is not large enough you
will have to build an addition,’’ the
judge said.
Ponitex, Sask.—A cloud of millions
of grasshoppers, t fie cloud being an
eighth of a mile wide and several miles j
long, obscured the sky above the town
for three hours yesterday. The insects
were blown along by a breeze about
one hundred feet from the ground.
John Appleby, head of the “dry
navy,” said in New York the other
day:
“This bootlegging business is cer- j
tainly a big one. If it keeps on grow-j
ing it will forge ahead of the movie9.
“There’s a certain man down my way
who got rich and powerful overnight,
as you might sav, and the people ele
vated him to a school director. Well,
he thought he'd make a speech to the
school children after his election, and
accordingly he went to Fairview school
and started in.
“.‘Children,’ he says, holding up a
$10 bill, ‘dear children, what is this
which I hold up in my hand?”
“ 'Money!’ shouted the children.
“ ‘Right, children! And now can you
tell me, children dear, how that money
was made?’
“ ‘Bootleggin’l’ roared the chil
dren.”
Hospital Caller—Poor man, you cer
tainly have been all shot up.
Tiie Victim—Yes, I had so many bul
let boles bored through me that the
boys behind me complained of the
draft.—American Legion Weekly.
Jobe Epping Fallows, the prohibi
tion agent of •Chicago, was talking
about his summer tour of Europe.
“Everything is syndicates over
there,”'he said. “The hotel men, the
oabbies, the.restaurants—they are all
syndicated.
“For instance, at Golfe Juan, a little
Riviera seaside place, the hotels have
the same charge—ten francs too much.
They all,give you a breakfast of coffee,
•condensed milk and dry bread — noth
ing more. Butter is an extra.
“Of course, you wouldn’t stand for
•such maltreatment if you weren t help
less in the Golfe Juan hotel syndicate’s
power. And it’s the same everywhere.
Syndicates, syndicates. You don’t get
a look-in.
“I met ray pastor the other day.
“ ‘Hello, John!’ he said. “Been
doing Europe?’
“ ‘No, Doc,’ said I, ‘Europe’s been
doing me.’ ”
