SOME PREVIOUS LONG WARS
England Fought France From 1339 to
1471—Wars of the Roses Con
tinued Thirty Years.
Three years of war seems a long
time to most of us, but few of the big
■ wars of history have been settled in
; anything like so short a period, ob
serves the London Tit-Bits. The
Peloponnesian war, which in many
respects was similar to the present
campaign, went on for over twenty
years; as did the French Revolu
tionary and Napoleonic campaigns.
| The American War of Independence
lasted eight years, the War of Suc
cession 11 years and the Elizabethan
war with Spain 16 years.
The longest period at which this
country was at war at one time was
from 1339 to 1471, when we fought
France almost continuously; while
the Wars of the Roses dragged on for
nearly 30 years. But events move
more quickly in these days, and it is
inconceivable to suppose that the
present struggle can continue for
anything like so long as did these
campaigns. In former times sev
eral decades elapsed before the more
glaring effects of a war disappeared,
but it is probable that the work of
reconstruction will be so rapid today
that within a few years after the
signing of peace the war-stained
cities and fields of France will be re
stored to something approaching
their former appearance.

THE RICHES l" DOG.
The richest dog in the world is
said to be Billy, belonging to an
American mining magnate. Billy i8
a big dog, and on one occasion he
was piloting his master and his mate
to their cabin on the mountains,
when the latter was so sure that a
certain turning was the right one
that he left Billy and his master to
go their way and he took his, giving
the dog a parting kick to show his
contempt for his intelligence. But
the dog was right, and presently con
ducted his master to the cabin, and
then, in spite of the kick, set out to
find the other man. He found him
utterly lost and at his last gasp al
most, and led him back. So grateful
was he that he presented the dog.

WIRE CLEANS DRAIN PIPES
Will Bend So It Can Easily Follow tho
Sharp Curves and Quickly
Remove All Trouble.
Trouble with drain pipes which
continually clog up can very easily
be done away with by the use of a
steel cable devised by Jay H. Wool
hiser, a plumber of Elmhurst, L. I.
Unlike the straight steel cables
which cannot be pushed around a
sharp bend, his wire can wind
around the worst of them, cleaning
out the waste while doing so. The
wire is made of thin, but very elas
tic steel. This is wound around in
small loops placed very close to
gether.
The end of the wire is slightly
bent, and this end is slanted away
from the direction of the pipe bend.
When the wire reaches the bend it
HIS DRAFT NUMBER.
A young man appeared at the
Philadelphia city hall for a marriage
license and answered the multitude
)f questions successfully until the
jlerk asked:
“How old are you?”
“Six hundred and ninety-one,” he
inswered.
I “Why, George!” exclaimed his fu
ture bride.
i “Oh, no, I didn’t mean that,” cor
rected George. “I was thinking of
tny draft number.”
HEARD ON THE LINKS.
“What do you think, Dorothy;
Mabel Jones has quit golf and gone
back to tennis.”
“The idea! That girl will be
caught playing croquet yet.”
