Pay for Privilege of Hunting.
Different German states have differ-
ent rates for persons who want to
hunt. In Prussia, for instance, Ger
mans pay about $5.50 a year for the
privilege, and foreigners pay four
times that amcunt. In Wurtemberg,
native hunters pay about $7.50 a year
and foreigners pay twice that amount.
“gecond Sight” for Blind.
A London scientist has devised an
fnstrument which gives the blind a
“gecond sight” through the sense of
hearing. This novel invention is call-
ed the optophone. By its use blind
persons can locate lamps, windows or
high lights and “perceive” shadows.
Nature True Comforter.
Nature knows best how to comfort
the heart of the mourner. Her sooth-

hints and suggestions, not in conven-
tional phrases, and her ministrations
make for sanity and renewed vigor.—

George Meredith's Beilef.
“Let nothing flout your sense of a
Supreme Being, and be certain that
your understanding wavers whenever
you chance to doubt that he leads to
good. We grow to good as surely as
the plant grows to the light. The
school has only to look through his
tory for a scientific assurance of it.”
—George Meredith, writing to his
son.
Many Languages Spoken.
At the entrance of a New York city
! department store is a placard an-
nouncing that twelve foreign lan-
guages are spoken by employes. These
are: French, German, Italian, Rus-
sian, Polish, Hungarian, Danish, Swe-
dish, Norwegian, Spanish, Portuguese
and Romanian. Can any foreign store
offer equal inducements, in the poly-
glot line, to its customers?
Unfortunate Situation.
Willesden Magistrate (to a woman
who complained that her husband
would not work): “You cannot make
a man work if he is determined not to
do so. There are so many wives will-
ing to work in these days to keep their
husbands that the wives who will not
do so are apt to become unpopular.”

Value of Garlic.
The scientific name for the active
principle of garlic is allyl sulphide,
which is a powerful germicide. For
this reason, people who are in the cus-
tom of eating garlic are far less sub-
ject to any form of tuberculosis than
those who refrain from the odorous
vegetable,
Models of Teeth in Wood.
An Indian carpenter in Uganda has
sent to a dentist in Nairobi cedar
wood patterns of a couple of teeth
which he wants made to order. It is
stated that when the work is com-
pleted the cedar models are to be sent
to the British museum.
Writing Pad.
A compact traveling case is a book-
shaped writing pad which folds over
flatly, and when opened reveals com-
partments for all the correspondence
necessities, as well as a calendar and
narrow slides holding memorandum
slips. One of these fits nicely into a
handbag.
To Wipe Out Finger Marks.
Rub the finger marks on doors
with a piece of clean flannel dipped
in kerosene oil; afterwards wipe with
a cloth wrung out of hot water to
take the smell away. This is better
than using soap and water, as it does
not desucy the paint.
Willing to Be Good.
“You children are not all obedieat,”
“Well,” said the sadly precocious
youngster, “we are willing to be obe-
dient, only paw and maw and grandpa
and grandma haven't yet come to an
understanding as to which is boss.”
Labor Poorly Pald.
Palermo, Italy, produces quantities
of outfits for brides, principally in
muslin. The girls who do the work
get from 12 to 25 cents and the
skilled workers from 30 to 60 ceats a

JUKE OF RICHMOND
He Was Counterfeit and Tried to
Marry a Rich American
Girl.
By JOHN PHILIP ORTH.
It was whispered that Brian Dins-
dale, the young lawyer, and Miss June
Temple were engaged. It wasn't true.
No young lady on the face of the
earth ever waited over ten minutes to
spread the glad tidings, and in this
case they hadn't been spread.
That Mr. Dinsdale was calling on
Miss Temple, and with her mother
as chaperon was escorting her to the
theater and other places, was a plain
fact, and that their attitude toward
each other was all that could be hoped
for, was whispered with other whis-
pers.
Then came what they call down in
Texas a “norther.”” The balmy wind
suddenly shifts into the north, and
those who have been swinging in ham-
mocks and eating ice cream hike into
the house and build a fire in three
stoves,
It was a “porther” that Mr. Dins-
dale got. He had been so successful
at law that he owned an auto. He
had Miss June and her mother out for
a spin one day, and the pace was
moderate. He was not a young man
to take chances with his neck. That
day ‘there were two other necks to
be guarded. Therefore, he hadn't in-
structed the chauffeur to jump the
machine over creeks and climb rail
fences.
The party was floating along on
wings of peace when another auto
came tearing up. In it was seated a
pompous middle-aged man and his
driver. The pompous man indicated
by a wave of his hand that he was
going to pass.
“Don’t you let him,” said Miss June
to Mr. Dinsdale.
“Perhaps he's going for a doctor.”
“He should have telephoned.”
“But we are in no hurry.”
“But he acts as if the road belonged
to him, and I don't like his style. Tell
your man to hit 'er up.”
“But there's a bad turn ahead, and [
don’t want to race around.”
“Oh, well, let him throw a barrel of
dust over us.”
As the road widened the stranger
whizzed by. He smiled a lordly and
patronizing smile as he did it.
“Mother,” whispered the girl, “I feel
humiliated.”
“But why, dear?”
“Because we let that man by. Mr.
Dinsdale hasn't much pride or cour
age. I hope he never comes to the
house again.”
“You see what a bad spot it is,” sald
the lawyer as he reached the turn.
“Very bad,” replied the mother.
“It's as good as the rest of the
road!” sulkily replied the daughter.
Few doctors have enough confidence
in themselves to treat themselves
when ill, and when a lawyer has a
case of his own to plead he is almost
sure to bungle it. Here was an exam-
ple of it. Mr. Dinsdale realized that
Miss June was miffed. But he soon
had greater cause than that. They
were passing slowly through a village
when they caught sight of the other
auto at the curb in front of a real
estate office. Just then the pompous
man came out and the real estate man
with him. The latter, as it happened
knew Mrs. Temple in a business way,
and he beckoned for her to stop.
When he had asked her about a cer-
tain piece of property he called to the
pompous man and said to the ladies:
“Mrs. and Miss Temple, permit me
‘farms of me and creating a large
estate here.”
Both women gasped for breath, and
il
ji:

“l am both surprised and shocked.’
was the reply.
“I hope he never calls here again!”
“So do I. Thomas must be instruct
ed to say that we are not at home to
him.”
Hypocritical June Temple! Within
half an hour she was writing Mr.
Dinsdale a note to say that she had
left her handkerchief in the auto and
“would he be so kind as to bring it
with him when he called again!”
Mr. Dinsdale might have called after
a few evenings, but the lost handker-
chief would not have been with him
securely wrapped in tissue paper and
then in tinfoil outside. The reason it
wouldn't was because it was not to
be found in the auto. It had never
been dropped there. It was right be-
fore the girl as she wrote the note.
The lawyer was thinking of calling,
however, when he heard that the
Duke of Richmond was on the job, so
to say. If he wasn't calling every few
minutes it was at least every day.
His highness was having a heap to
say about his title, his castles and
his plans for the future. Mrs. Temple
swallowed the words greedily, but
Miss Tempie found that she didn't
care much about titles and vast es
tates and the family jewels of a duch-
ess. She was more concerned about
a plain young lawyer. She had set
out to make him sorry, and she was
being sorry herself.
One day the duke called when Mrs.
Temple was alone. He seemed to be
glad to find it so. In one way he was
almost a stranger to her, but in anoth-.
er the friendship had progressed so
fast that he dared to ask for her
daughter's hand. That is, he wanted
permission to win the hand if he
could. Of course, he had brought
scores of testimonials with him, and
stood ready to submit a barrel or two
of them at any moment.
“I should be proud to be your moth-
er-in-law,” was the prompt answer re-
ceived.
“And I should certainly be proud to
call you by that title. As the Duchess
of Richmond your sweet daughter
would have the world at her feet, al-
most.”
“How grand!”
“] should honor her as if she had
been born queen.”
“I know you would.”
“All I ask is a fair chance to win
her.”
“I will aid you all I can.”
“And there is one more thing, my
dear Mrs. Temple. It is a matter [
must ask you to hold in the strictest
confidence.”
“You have my word that I will,
Duke.”
“My solicitors in London were to
send me a hundred thousand dollars a
week ago, but a letter just received
from them says it will be a whole fort-
night yet before they can comply.
Meanwhile—"
“You need funds?’ said Mrs. Tem-
ple.
“Ah, what a woman! If you have
$3,000 you are not going to use for a
few days—"
“1 will gladly give you a check for
nr" !
An hour later, when Miss June had
raturned and been told of the loan,
she went straight to the telephone and
said to Mr. Dinsdale:
“Come at once with your auto!
Never mind what for, but come!!”
Then she telephoned her mother's
bank and stopped payment on the
check, and was at the door when the
auto drove up.
“Where to?" asked the lawyer.
“Fourth National bank.”
“What for?"
“To nab the Duke of Richmond!”
On the way down two detectives
were picked up. The duke had taken
a trolley car and got into a block, and
had only reached the bank three min-
utes ahead of the others. He was In
line to present his check, but made a
break to get away when he saw the
detectives.
“Who is he?’ asked Miss June as
Mr. Dinsdale was taking her home.
“Dick Turner, the greatest confi-
dence man in the country!”
“But he has thirteen trunks at the
Belmont and occupies a parior suit.”
“He has a carpet-bag and occupies
a room in a cheap lodging house.”
“Gracious, but how he has focled
mamma!”
“And the real estate men and you
