Up-to-Pato Clothesline.
A sensible clothes dryer, which wtll
be welcomed by the particular house
wife, Ib the recent invention of a resi
dent of Port Angeles, Wash. It does
away with the unsightly long lines of
clothes usually associated with wasn
day. Instead, the clotheslines are
cconomncally arranged on one sup
port. The latter consists of a post,
to which are pivoted five or six bars.
These support the clothes line, which
Is arranged in graduated a lengths be
tween the bars. When thus spread
out there is thus probably 150 feet
of clothes line, affording considerable
space for the clothes. After the
clothes have become dried the line
and supports can be folded up and
placed out of eight by operating a
small lever on the main post. The
upper part of the framework being
thus detachable, it can be quickly re
moved or replaced Vhen needed.
There are thus no disfiguring clothes
posts to mar the lawn. Washington

Hall Cnlne's Portrait. ,
Clydo Fitch, the noted playwright,
was praising the reporter of the past.
"He has merged now," said Mr.
Fitch, "Into the playwright, the nov
elist or the leader writer. We don't
have reporters like btm now. Their
power is too soon recognized. They
rise too fast. And hence the news
columns suffer." ,
Mr. Fitch took down one of his
scrapbooks.
"Here Is a sample of the way re
porters used to write. It's very good
and amusing," he said,. "It's a de
scription of Hall Calne. Listen."
And he read:
" 'When ho removed his slouch hat

"No, sir; I am sorry to say I do

commented, and turned again to his

The clerk had visions of an offered
appointment as Secretary ot Legation
at Madrid, and that very night set
diligently to work to acquire the
language of the Dons, and with un
UBiial success. Two months later he
ventured to suggest:
"Mr. Secretary, a short while ago
you asked me if I was familiar with

I have since mastered it."
"Indeed! Very good," the Secre

proficient in the language In this

"It seemed to come easy I sup

CHEAP COAL HAS VALUE
Means by Which It Does Twice Work
of High Grade Coal.
According to expert government re
ports on fuel, the gas engine Is capa
ble of generating from two and a half
to three times as much power from a
given amount of coal as the steam en
gine. It economizes also In another way.
Fuel with eo high a percentage of im
purity that It could not hitherto be
used in factories can now be made to
generate sufficient power by means of
a ga9 engine to do the same work that
otherwise would require double the
quantity of high grade coal.
The lignite coal of North Dakota,
says The Natlonnl Magazine, has thus
been made to give out as much gas
engine force as the best West Virginia
and bituminous coal used under steam
boilers.
Some sort of coal Is indigenous to
almost all parts of America, but the
Imports of "Chicle."
The extension of the chewing gum
Industry and the use of that product
among the people of the United States
is illustrated by the fact that the im
portation of "chicle" in 1908, chiefly
tor use in the manufacture of chew
ing gum, amounted to more than 4,
000,000 pounds. This article, "chicle,"
Is obtained In Southern Mexico from
the trunk of the sapodilla plum tree,
and the importation of this gum dur
ing the last decade has amounted to
about 30,000,000 pounds, or over 13,
000 tons, valued at over $8,000,000.
"MEMOIRS OP PAN RICE," TOT!
CLOWN OP OUR DADDIES.
At Last, There Is on Bala a Book
Brimful of American Humor.
Any bookseller will tell you that
the constant quest of his customers
Is for "a book which will make me
laugh." The bookman Is compelled
to reply that the race of American
humorists has run out and comic lit
erature Is scarcer than funny plays.
A wide sale Is therefore predicted for
the "Memoirs of Dan Rice," the
Clown of Our Daddies, written by
Maria Ward Brown, a book guar
anteed to make you roar with laugh
ter. The author presents to the pub
lic a volume of the great Jester's
most pungent Jokes, comic harangues,
caustic hits upon men and manners,
lectures, anecdotes, sketches of ad
venture, original songs and poetical
effusions; wise and witty, serious,
satirical, and sentimental sayings of
the sawdust arena of other days.
These "Memoirs" also contain a series
of adventures and Incidents alternat
ing from grave to gay; descriptive
scenes and thrilling events; the rec
ord of half a century of a remarkable
life, In the course of which the sub
ject was brought Into contact with
most of the national celebrities of the
day. The book abounds In anecdotes,
humorous and otherwise; and It af
fords a clearer view ot the Inside
mysteries of show life than any ac
count heretofore published. Old Dan
Rice, as the proprietor of the famous
"One Horse Show," was more of a
national character than Artemus
Ward, and this volume contains the
humor which made the nation laugh
even while the great Civil War raged.
This fascinating book of 500 pages,
beautifully illustrated, will be sent
postpaid to you for f 1.50. Address
