The End of the Quest.?Diogenes
was sitting on a fire hydrant when a
kindly faced man stopped and addressed
him, according to the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
"What's wrong with you, old ,
friend?" he asked.
"I've been sorely misused," replied <
lilt? 17IIIU
"In what way?"
"As I turned yonder corner carrying
my lantern, a youth approached ,
me. "Wherefore the glim?" he asked.
I replied that I was Diogenes looking j
for an honest man. That youth laugh- ,
ed. 'You're wasting time in this town, (
uncle,' he said. 'Your glim is no use |
here.' And what do you think? He |
took my lantern away from me, and j
my hat and my street car pennies, and j
ran around the corner. The only thing \
he left of any value was my collar j
button. Do you wonder that I ap- (
pear morose?" j
"Not at all," replied the kindly
faced citizen. "You are quite excuseable.
I am a little sorry, however, t
that in your search for an honest man j
you couldn't have waited until you ]
met me. But, perhaps, it's just as t
well." )
So saying, he stooped down sudden- (
ly and snatched away the philoso- ^
Piter's collar button, ran up the near- f
by alley and disappeared. a

Why He Kept a Servant?In the J
days when he was superintendent of c
the Portsmouth dockyard in England, r
Lord Fisher, the present admiral of I
the British fleet, had the sea-dog at- t
titude toward the men: he frequently a
treated them with all the harshness i
of a wailing captain; they, in turn, t
treated him in a half-friendly, half- e
hostile familiarity. s
Several years after his Portsmouth d
days, Fisher visited one of his old associates
of the forecastle, who was
then living on half pay. He found v
the old man comfortably settled in a f
cottage, attended by another super- P
annuated seaman. f
"Why do you have this old man c
here?" asked the admiral. s
"I keep Mm here," said the pen- a
si oner, "io come into my quariem <ti 5
o'clock in the mornin' an' sing out t
'Hi there! The hadmiral wants to see 1'
you.' At that I merely roll over in ?
my bed, and says, 'Tell old Fisher to go t1
to 'ell.' "?World's Work. 8

Settled Out of Court.?"Well," said s
the lawyer, having listened carefully l'
to his client's statement, "you've got 8
about the best case I ever heard. My 1
?T
dear sir, you can't help winning it,
whatever court you take it to. I shall y
T>e only too glad to assist you in the e
matter."
"Thanks," said the prospective cli- v
ent. "Thanks very much!" Then 1
grabbing his hat. he made a speedy
exit from the office.
"What?" exclaimed the astonished a
lawyer. "Are you going?" a
"Yes," replied the other. "I'm Just ^
going to try to settle this case out of
court."
"But, my dear sir, why waste mon- ^
ey? As I've already told you, that's ^
one of the best cases I've ever heard." ^
"Maybe it is," said the fickle client
as he hastened down the stairs, "but
not for me. I told you the other fel- ^
low's story."?Philadelphia Record.

True Heroism.?He had been court- p
ing the girl for a long time. It hap- s
pened one Sunday night after church. j,
They were sitting on a sofa, and she w
looked with ineffable tenderness into b
his noble blue eyes. e
"Tom" she murmured, "didn't you b
tell me once you would be willing to r
do any act of heroism for my sake?" b
"Yes, Mary, and I would gladly re- t)
iterate that statement now," he re- a
plied. "No Roman of old, however a
brave, was ever fired with a loftier v
ambition, a braver resolution than I." t]
"Well. Tom, I want you to do some- b
thing really heroic for me."
"Speak, darling, what is it?"
"Ask me to be your wife. We've
been fooling long enough." 1,

The Living Telephone.?Some time
after the close of the Franco-German .ft
war the Prussian Uhlan drill was in- t<

They were extended, each some 300 a
yards from his fellow, many miles of
country being covered. o
This verbal message was given to o
the soldier on the extreme right to g
pass along: "Enemy's vedettes at b
Edgefield Green." It got hopelessly
muddled half way. s
The amazed officer waiting to re- v
ceive it got this communication from li
the trooper on the extreme left: v
"England's debts paid by the queen."
d
Threw Him in Again.?A dentist o
in a coast town was one day standing h
on the pier, watching the evolutions of v
some warships, when he accidentally p
toppled into the water. Three young p
men who were standing close by im- h
mediately plunged in to the rescue and
hauled him out.
On recovering his breath, he looked
admirably at his brave rescuers, and, 1
in a voice filled with deep gratitude, 41
he said: a
"My brave fellows, how can I ever
repay you for your gallantry? Just P
come along to my consulting rooms, (
and I'll draw all the teeth out of your "
heads, and not charge a cent." c

On His Nerves.?A seedy looking c
man with consuming thirst found s
himself in that embarrassing financial
condition which precludes the possibility
of the purchase of a drink. He
cudgeled his brain and finally hit on
a scheme. Rushing into drug store,
he called out excitedly:
"A lady just fainted outside. Have
you got any whisky?"
"Why, yes, here's some," said the
sympathetic clerk, pouring out a liberal
quantity. "Ah, thanks," as he
gulped it down; "it always upsets me
to see a lady faint."
His Dad Said So.?The small boy:
"Are you the boneless man?"
The caller: "Boneless? Why, no.
What gave you that idea?"
The boy: "Papa said you was a
contortionist." *
"A contortionist?" '
"Yes. He said you were always A
patting yourself on the back."
Wise George.?"Why did George i
Washington say he couldn't tell a s

It might be worth while sometime
to try this receipt in making potato
patties: Put into a bowl two cups of
cold mashed potatoes that have been
well mixed with milk and butter.
Take one heaping teaspoon of baking
powder and one cup of flour and mix
them together thoroughly. Add the
flour and baking powder gradually to
the potatoes, working them together
with the hands to make a stiff dough.
Sprinkle the pastry board with flour
ind place the dough on It and pat it

to let them bake thoroughly and to c

juire about half an hour to bake, and J
should be light and flaky when done.

High waist lines are the rule for
he little girls' thin dresses that are I
>eing made for the summer season.
Like grownup dresses, the skirts of
hese dresses are very flaring and fril- p
y. The skirts of tulle and chiffon 6
Iresses or those of lingerie, batiste or
rery thin silk are often finished at the
lem with three little ruffes These d
ire only about three or four inches in
vidth and are not gathered very full.
V picot edging is used often instead *
if lace to finish them, or a very nar- d
ow satin ribbon, perhaps in a double 8
engthwise stripe. Little puffed sleeves
hat come only half way to the elbow
.re considered very correct, and they c

of it of another color. li

Coats well above the waist line and $
fell below it, coats fitted and coats h
rankly loose; sleeves long and set in w

rankly of the bishop type?these are ^
haracteristics of the suits of the sea- ?

re plaited, but at least in one thir^g a

east seven inches above the ground,
iuch are the accepted fashions for the
ailored and semi-tailored suits of the
pring. The fad of combining maerials,
which was initiated last sea- ^
on, is still a feature of fashion, and p
affeta and gabardine, or faille and
erge, are favorite combinations for S
he semi-tailored suits of the season. M
'affeta and voile or taffeta and mar- it

Showers for the bride are popular jr

linen shower for a prospective bride a
l this way: Of course the guest of

3 come in for a cup of tea half an
a
our later than the other guests were
ivited. As the girls arrived they d
3und suspended in the hall a huge c(
rhite umbrella, decorated with many
ed paper hearts. It was opened, with
he handle attached to a string, which tl
1 turn was attached to the* ceiling. n
n this receptacle they were asked to p
lace their gifts, small pieces of linen, d
uch as table covers, guest towels, e:
incheon sets, etc., each gift wrapped ^
rith tissue paper and tied with ribons.
After all the guests had arriv- ei
d and deposited their gifts in the um- ft
rella, the bell rang and the bride ar- 4'
ived. As she stepped into the hall ai
er hostess pulled a string attached it
9 the umbrella, one end of it tilted 4
nd the load of small packages fell
round the bride's feet. It was a p
eritable shower?a shower of good u

BRITISH SUBMARINE
U. S. Naval Officer# Think They Have
Failed to Keep the Pace.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York World says: Ranking officers of
the American navy expect a radical
change in the administration of the
British admiralty as a result of the destruction
of the Lusltania. It is their
belief that Great Britain has fallen far
behind Germany in submarine warfare.
They also look for more daring raids
by German submarines, possibly on the
allies' Dardanelles fleet, and if the war
lasts a year and a half longer a big
attack on the British battleship fleet
by new German dreadnaughts that
are believed to be in course of construction.
When Germany finally announced
her Intention to make war under the
waters by the use of submarines, and
to Diow up every rsriusn snip tnat
passed within torpedo range, American
naval experts appeared to be satisfied
that this movement would be
checkmated without delay.
They were convinced that the British
flotilla of destroyers would be
waiting for every German submarine
that poked its periscope above the
surface. They believed that the British
destroyers would send the submarines
to the bottom with such rapidity
that the German admiralty would
decide to change its tactics without
delay.
Great Britain's failure to take drastic
steps to put an end to the commerce
war has given American naval
experts the Impression that there is
something radically wrong with Winston
Churchill's management of the
admiralty.
This belief was strengthened a
thousandfold when the news that no
patrol had guarded the Lusitania was
flashed to America.
Officers pointed out to the fact that
upon the British admiralty must rest
the blame not only for the destruction
of the Lusitania but much more so on
account of the tremendous loss of life.
They pointed to the fact that if the
Lusitania had been accompanied by
four or six destroyers, the submarine
might have been enabled to strike her
a chance blow or two with torpedoes,
but at least the passengers and crew
would not have been lost, because the
patrolling vessels would have been
present to pick up the victims.
"If the British admiralty had used
a little foresight and withdrawn the
fleet of cruisers which are hanging
around American ports, for no valuable
purpose as far as I can see," a
naval officer said, "these vessels might
have been on hand to pick up the innocent
non-combatants who are now
dead.
"We are simply dumfounded by
Great Britain's failure to fill the seas
in the vicinity of Ireland and England
with destroyers and submarines.
"We have reason to believe that Germany
has turned out more than 100
and probably 200 submarines since the
war began. She has passed Great Britain's
supply, and as far as we are
able to find out, Great Britain is doing
nothing to combat this handicap.
The same thing is true of destroyers.
Germany is turning them out in great
numbers and Great Britain appears to
be completely at a standstill.
"For several months we have been
quite well convinced that Germany in
tends to carry on a warfare under the
sea a ad in the air. It is apparent to
any one that she has no intention of
actually testing her strength with
Clreat Britain's first fleet at this time,
because she could not expect to win a
great battle.
"If she continues at the rate she is
now going in the construction of submarines
and airships. I believe she
will be enabled to exert tremendous
pressure upon the allies before fall,
[t would not surprise me in the least
to see a submarine raid on the French
fleet which is guarding the mouth of
the Adriatic. Of course, the submarines
would be German-made and
shipped over land to some Austrian
port."
STATEMENT FROM KITCHENER
British War Secretary Speaks to House
of Lords.
Lord Kitchener told the house of
lords last Tuesday he wanted 300,000
more recruits.
He expressed confidence that in the
very near future the country would
be in a satisfactory position with regard
to the supply of ammunition.
The news from the Galiipoli peninsula,
in other words the Dardanelles,
was thoroughly satisfactory, Earl
Kitchener declared.
Referring to the offensive movement
now in progress in La Bassee
and the Arras region, Earl Kitchener
said:
"We have all followed with admiration
the forward movement of our
brave allies in an offensive operation
which has been marked with complete
success and which is still proceeding
with every promise and indication
of being wholly satisfactory.
"The attacks delivered by our forces
at first were not attended with the
same immediate success owing to the
elaborate arrangements made by the
Germans to defend their lines after
their experience at Neuve Chapelle,
but on the night of May 15, by a renewed
effort, the British forces drove
back the enemy on a front of approximately
two miles for a considerable
distance, and captured from 400
to 500 prisoners. This action is also
proceeding and we hope that in conformity
with the French operations
it will achieve important results.
"In these recent offensive operations
our losses and those of the French
have been heavy, but the task our
armies have accomplished has necessitated
great sacrifice and the spirit
and moral of our troops has never
been higher than at the present moment.
The secretary of war had this to
say concerning the position of the
Russians:
"The Russians now hold a strong
line from the eastern Carpathians to
Przemysl, which forms a pivot of
their lives, and then along the San to
the Vistula. In Bukowina, the Russians
have made a counter-offensive
and driven the Austrians back from
the Dniester to the Pruth. The German
losses in killed and wounded in
these operations have been enormous
ard many thousand unwounded prisoners
have fallen into the hands of
the Russians."
Turning to the Dardanelles, Earl
Kitchener said that the progress of the
allies was necessarily slow, since the
country was most difficult.
"But the Turks are gradually being
forced to retire from positions of
great strength," he continued, "and
though the enemy is being constantly I
re-inforced, the news from this front
is thoroughly satisfactory."
Earl Kitchener then referred to the
South African campaign and the occupation
by Union of South Africa
forces of Windhoek, capital of German
southwest Africa.
Indian soldiers were utterly routing
the Turks in Mesopotamia, the secretary
asserted and were gradually
clearing the whole country of hostile
forces.
After referring to eulogistic terms
to the men in the new army, Earl
Kitchener concluded:
"I said I would let the country know
when more men were wanted for the
war. The time has come, and I now
call for 300,000 men to form new
armies. Those who are engaged in the
production of war matrial of any
kind should not leave their work. It is
to men who are not performing this
duty that I appeal and I am convinced
the manhood of England still available
will loyally respond.
"In my first speech in your lordship's
house, I pointed out that this
war would be a long one and would
demand great sacrifice. Those sacrifices
have been cheerfully made by
the people of this country, who not
only responded in vast numbers to
the summons to create the new armies
required, but have since continuously
supplied a constant stream of recruit
forces In the field and in training at
their full strength and with effective
men.
"Your lordships have watched the
growth of the new armies and have
noted doubtless the difficulties which
confronted us in providing them with
all the material of war they required.
"I cannot speak too highly of the
men and the devotion to duty they
have displayed, or of their cheerful
accepted the hardships Incidental to
inclement weather which have provoked
the admiration of expert officers
who reported to me as to the wonderfully
rapid progress made in their
training to become efficient soldiers."
ZEPPELIN STOVER PAIS.
Big German Airships Terrorize French
Capitol.
One of the most vivid pen pictures
of Paris in its state of nightly anxiety
and alarms about aerial attacks, is
contained in a letter from John L.
Poole, just received by the Hupp Motar
Car company of Detroit, for which
Mr. Poole acts as European export
manager, with headquarters in the
French capital, says a New York letter.
"The Zeppelin night attacks are now
more frequent than ever," he writes.
"In fact, the German raiders are becoming
so bold that we are frequently
attacked in broad daylight. These air
attacks are very dangerous, for in
every instance a goodly number of the
Paris populace is either killed or
wounded.
"I am not remaining in Paris for
amusement nor pleasure. That is all
past now. The city has taken on a
sober and sombre aspect. Nearly a
third of the women are in mourning,
An#! sad-fared. droonv-eved eirls.
wives and mothers are to be seen everywhere.
It is a pitiful sight, the sorrows
that the loved ones at home are
suffering. Paris is gay no longer. The
cafes and amusement places are deserted
and the thoughts of everyone
are turned to war.
"Saturday night, or rather at 1.30
Sunday morning, April 18, we were
awakened by the motor fire brigade of
our section of the city frantically
rushing through the streets blowing
on bugles, 'grade cous!' which means
'guard yourself!' This is the signal
which is given to the people on the
approach of Zeppelins.
"We got up and dressed and descended
to the ground floor, where
we convene in the center lobby of this
hotel, the Continental. This big hostelry
covers an entire block. All the
guests of the hotel were in the lobby,
many scantily clad, having arisen and
descended from some of the top flights
in a great hurry. This did not matter
much, however, as all the lights were
out and we were in total darkness.
Inside of ten minutes after the sound
of the first alarm all the street lights
in the city were turned out. There
was total darkness, except for the
huge searchlights that flashed over
the heavens in search of the German

marauders. About 2 a. m., we could
hear the reports of guns firing on the
Zeppelins as they passed over the inner
city forts.
"You can Imagine the uneasiness of
everybody in the hotel, and everybody
in the city, for that matter, while the
firing was going on. I venture to say
that everyone in the city was awakened
at the first alarm and ran for
cover. Many underground passages
and tunnels have been dug throughout
the city for refuge during these
attacks. Various reports went through
the crowd in the hotel as to the number
of airships on this raid, ranging
from two to fifteen. The latest government
report, however, states that
six actually visited Paris that night,
while two others reached within twenty
miles of the city. How many others
started and were brought down by
French guns nobody knows.
"The nearest point to our hotel
where bombs struck was about threequarters
of a mile away. The reports
I were terrific, for about one-half of a
building was blown away. No one
knows in advance where the bombs
may strike, and this is the worst part
of the reign of terror.
"At about 4.30 in the morning the
fire brigade returned through the
streets blowing bugles to cease firing.
This advised the people that the present
danger was over. On Sunday I
Investigated several points where
bombs had struck, and the newspaper
reports that you have already had
on this attack are substantially correct.
"We have a Zeppelin raid almost every
night. Following this Sunday

evening, we were in our rooms when
the first alarm was sounded?by the
way, no one at all ventures out of
doors in the evening except with special
permission from the provost
guard, and again we all rushed to the
ground floor of our hotel and remained
there until 1.30 o'clock, when the
Are brigade announced that the danger
was over.
"Hardly had we returned to our
rooms when a second alarm was
sounded and we, of course, immediately
descended to the lobby, staying
there until about 1.30. A few of us,
mostly Americans, ventured outside
to see what could be seen, or I might
say, heard, as the city was in darkness?but
we were immediately ordered
to return by the soldiers. As nothing
further seemcl to develop we went
to our rooms to watch the flash of the
many searchlights turned to the heavens
for all directions. I must say
that some of the forts carry nearly
twenty to twenty-five of these huge
searchlights. With an entire ring of
forts around the city you can imagine
the display this would make in the
skies at night."
According to a government agent
the stock of artificial dyestu/fs now in
the United States, will be exhausted
before the end of July. The makers
of paper, ink, varnish, pigments and
leather articles, as well as the textile
manufacturers, are feeling the scarcity.
