In Mexico they don't waste much
time considering what they will do
with their ex-presidents.
In the United States it's the
poor down-trodden man who goes
on a hunger strike when his wife
becomes a suffragatte.
What Mexico needs is a twen
tieth fcentury Napoleon Bonaparte
and an assurance that there will be
no St. Helena to interfere with his
work. _
With so many other exciting
games to amuse them, the Mexi
can populace has had little time to
arrange for bull-fighting which, as
a national sport, is going into a de
cline. taking revolutionizing into
consideration. " '
London newspapers think it is
carrying It Too Far when Mr. and
Mrs. Wilson announced there will
be no wine list in the White House.
But London papers have had a
habit lately of objecting to things
we do in America, that Panama
Canal treaty, for instance.
William J. Bryan will not be a
dictator in the Wilson cabinet, but
he will have much to say and with
his wonderful knowledge of foreign
affairs and conditions in his own
country, gained after travels that
have come to few other men dur
ing their lifetime, he should be a
valuable man to the new president.
President Wilson has been ridi
culed as an academician by those
who scoff at the idea of a college
professer guiding the Ship of State,
but his cabinet selections, chosen
with a careful eye to geographical
distribution, seem to point to his
success as a politician if he lets
this one example be his guiding
star. _
That peculiar sort of individual
who delights in figures has been
found again. A Kansas man re
cently received a check for $4 in
payment of a balance due for pay
as a soldier during the Civil war
and which was overlooked at the
time. And the genius at figuring
has found out, after having wasted
a lot of valuable time, that with
compounded interest the amount
at this time, would be $263.
EGOS AT EASTER.
Washington Gladden, writing
about the history of Easter in a re
pent publication, shows how eggs J
have been connected with Easter |
from its earliest days. Dr. Glad-1
den’8 explanation of the origin of;
the custom of using eggs on Easter
• follows: "Probably the fact that
the egg holds shut up in itself, the
x;elements of a future life a life
"“which may long be dormant and I
then come forth into vigor and i
beauty, into consciousness and ac
tivity— made it a proper symbol of j
the Resurrection. But of all the ;
millions who have decorated eggs
at the Easter season or play 3d with !
them as a pretty toy, or fed upon ;
them as a delicacy, very few have I
ever stepped to reflect upon the!
profound meaning of the emblem." j

FOUND SOURCE OF TROUBLE
Writer Missed the Presence of Fa
miliar Sound, and Inspiration
Was Not Forthcoming.
“When I started in at my desk I his
morning,” said a man who writes
things for a living, “1 found right
away that the work was dragging. I
had a job all marked out in my mind
and ready to begin on, but my Ideas
didn't flow; really they only trickled,
and at that haltingly, and over that 1
wondered mildly.
“I had enjoyed my breakfast as
usual, and had looked over the paper,
smoking the while my usual stogie,
and 1 ought to be fit and ready?, but
somehow I wasn't, and so 1 sat back
for a moment anthwondered.
"And then i^ struck me that there
was something wrong in the room,
somehow it seemed oppressive and
luiet. still, very still. There was
something wrong here, surely, and
ihpn all of a sudden it struck me;
and when I looked up, sure enough
the clock had stopped! \_
“It is curious about people and
locks. Some people can't work with
a clock in the room; I couldn't, work
without one. And it is just the same ;
about clocks in sleeping rooms; some
folks can't bear them there; I couldn't
go to sleep without one.
"And I must have a clock in the
room in which I work, it is a friend- j
ly thing to me and I have an idea that
it vitalizes the air, gives it life. When
I am at work I never hear it strike
and I never hear it ticking; but if the
clock should stop!”
RUSE TO CATCH DESERTERS
Pawnbrokers, in League With Military
Authorities, Bring Disaster on
Many Culprits.
To prove a man a deserter from the
army is often a difficult task, for if a
policeman were to take action before
fie was sure of his man. and the man
afterwards proved to be an ordinary
citizen, there would be trouble in
store for that policeman. As a con
sequence of this the ruses which are
sometimes adopted to catch deserters
are often very ingenious.
When a soldier deserts from the
army he naturally seeks work of some
kind, and with this object in view he
scans the advertisements in the pa
pers. This fact is well-known to the
authorities, and hundreds of deserters
have been caught by the following
trick:
An advertisement is inserted in the
newspapers by some pawnbroker who
is in league with the police. The ad
vertisement states that generous
terms are offered for the purchase of
military uniforms or boots. These are
generally the only articles of military ■
attire which a deserter retains and he ,
is usually attracted by the opportuni- j
ty of disposing of them. He answers |
the advertisement, the pawnbroker
I gives particulars to the police, and I
| within a few days the deserter proba- j
bly finds himself in the charge of a ■
I military escort.

Gun Without Bullets.
The bulletless gun has at last made I
Its appearance. It Is a Grrman in- I
vention. and instead oC bullets it !
shoots a gas which temporarily blinds !
and chokes the victim.
The cartridge used contains several :
ingredients, which, when exploded, i
combine to form a vapor of a pe- j
culiar character. The gun itself dif- i
fers very little in appearance and j
mechanism from the ordinary double- j
action revolver. It holds five cart
ridges.
The shotless gun is intended prinei- !
pally for the protection of tourists,
commercial travelers, doctors, cyclists,
automobilists. bank officials, postmen,
watchmen and policemen. No one
wants to kill a criminal unless it is
absolutely necessary for one’s own
preservation, and this invention is in
tended to make such a course unneces
sary.
Obvious.
When Sir Wilfrid I-aurier was pre
mier of Canada, a couple of years ago,
and R. L. HordJn, the present premier,
-was leader of the always active “op
position” in the house of commons,
the two famous men sat on either side
of the toastmaster at a press gallery
banquet in Ottawa. The toastmaster
was plainly "fussed” when he got up
to start the speechmaking.
“I am between the leader of the gov
ernment and the leader of the oppo
sition,” he said with a smile, “and I
confess I don’t know which is the
deep sea.”
“I can easily inform the toa^rtmas
ter which is the devil,” interrupted
the premier.
GOT EVEN WITH HIM
BY ELLEN SMITH.
Lannigan had an aisle seat in the
front row of the balcony and was en
joying the opera very much. The mu
sic did not bore him and, moreover,
Daisy Hiltson was with him, and he
was enjoying .Daisy's society even
more than the opera. He reflected
that he had simply wasted his time
taking other girls to the opera, when
he might have engaged Daisy for the
entire season if he had had his wits
about him. Lannigan, however, felt
complacent and at peace with the
world.
At. the first intermission a hand
tapped Lanigan's shoulder. “Let me
see your checks, please," quietly said
a voice accompanying the hand. Lan
nigan stiffened indignantly. Then,
fishing in his pockets for his checks,
he froety.v passed them back over his
shoulder.
"Wrong seats,” murmured the voice.
"Sorry, but you belong on the other
side of the house."
“The dickens 1 do!” Lannigan ex
ploded. “These are season tickets. I'd
have you know. I've sat here all win
ter—”
“Sorry!” said the imperturbable
voice, "but the people who own these
seats are waiting for 'm, and you'll
have to move.”
Lannigan absolutely choked with
rage. That this should happen of all
Vlghts on the night when Daisy was
with him! He controlled himself with
nti effort and spoke out of the side of
his mouth over his shoulder: "I j
shan’t move!"
“Sorry!" said the inexorable voice.
"I hope you won't mak* a scene. If
you don't go I'll have to put you
out."
Lannigan boiled over. “It’ll take a
bigger man than you are to do that!”
he said very audibly. “You confound
ed—”
“Oh, I'm big enough,” drawled the
voice, insultingly.
Lannigan, whirling around with blood j
in his eyes, confronted the grinning i
face of Phillips, one of his best |
friends.
Daisy giggled audibly. “I thought
I'd die!” she gasped, mopping her
eyes with a wliisp of handkerchief.
“Really, I never saw anything done
more cleverly, Mr. Phillips. I didn't
recognize you at first myself; this
light is so dim. I never saw anything
so funny in my life. Mr. Lannigan
wqs so—-so perfectly belligerent!”
“Phillips never will kn#w how near
he was to going over the railing,” de
clared Lapnigan, grimly, still weak
from the shock.
It quite spoiled the opera for him.
Besides upsetting his calmness of
mind and his self-satisfaction, he had ]
an additional worry. He did nQ,t at
all like Daisy’s open admiration of
Phillips’ brightness. Lannigan was
at the nervous stage in bis courtship
where the blowing of straws polnteo
the way. Then he had an Inspiration.
“Phillips is so frightfully careless,”
Lannigan told Daisy a week later,
when again he was taking her to the
opera. “He’ll never once look at the
dates. Oh, I wrote him the nicest sort
of note. I told him that I thought I
owed it to him and hoped he could use
my opera seats tonight as I could not
—and I sent him tickets for a month
ago that I didn’t use. T know him—
he’ll ask some girl and when the man
at the doof turns him down he’ll have
to buy seats—and i hope everything’s^
gone but the dearest ones. That’ll
serve him right!"
"How aw-fully funny!” giggled Daisy
Hiltson. “Really, that’s terribly bright,
Mr Lannigan. How clever it. was of
you to think of that.”
Lannigan-beamed He felt comfor
table again and fully reinstated in
Daisy’s admiring opinion.
Almost obstreperously he presented
his tickets to the man at the door
There was a colloquy. Then taking
Daisy by the arm, Lannigan led her
out of the crush and. with a muttered
“Excuse me just a moment, please,"
he vanished.
“What’s the matter?" Daisy asked, i
bewilderedly, when he returned from*
the ticket office.
Lannigan looked confused “Oil, |
nothing,” he said, heavily. “Only—er !
—well, you see. I made a mistake and
sent Phillips the tickets for tonight
I brought along the old ones myself.” [

Dog Turns Grindstone.
Philadelphia has a one-legged knife
grinder who is particularly proud of
his dog, and no wonder, for the intel
ligent animal aids him greatly in his
daily toil. It was formerly the man's
custom—his crippled condition pre
venting him from working the pedal—
to pay stray youngsters to turn the
wheel for him.
This, of course, greatly curtailed
his profits; so he set about training
a Newfoundland dog to do the dut\.
The canine pupil was ant, and is now
installed as the grinder’s regular as
sistant.
The grindstone Is a very small one.
and, by standing on a box, the dog is
able to reach the handle and turn it
fast or slow, as his master desires. *
First Aid From King Manuel.
King Manuel, in rendering first aid
to one of the audience at a Munich
theater, follows in the footsteps of his
ancestor. Louis Philippe. The king
of the French in his early youth
studied medicine and surgery at the
Hotel Pieu. He habitually carried a
lancet in his pocket, and said he hart
found it useful on many occasions
in the course of his wandering life.
Even aft°r he came to the throne
Louis Philippe’s surgical knowledge
served him in good stead. In 1839 one
of his outriders was struck with
apoplexy on the road between Paris
and Compiegne, and the king bled him
most scientifically with his own hands.

Dark Space Among the Stars.
Absolutely dark spaces among the
stars have puzzled astronomers since
the time of Herschel. In Milky Way
pnotographs. Dr. KopEf has noticed an
almost complete absence of faint stars
immediately around certain nebulae,
with an abundance of such stars with
in the nebulae and' far outside. A
late suggestion by Dr. Espin is that
the margins of such nebulae may be
too diffuse to become illuminated and
yet dense enough to absorb light. If
such an assumption be made, he finds
that it explains not only the blank sur
rounding spaces but the dark holes
and lanes within the bright nebulae. ’
