P BETTER SOLDIER THAN LOVER
> ^ Great Duke of Wellington Somewhat
Awkward in His Courtship
of Jenny Lind.
In his hook of reminiscences, Ar&
thur Coleridge, a great-nephew of the
famous poet, gives an interesting aecount
-of Jenny Lind. He was her
intimate friend for 20 years. He tells
P the following story of the prima donna
| and the duke of Wellington:
?v **In four months after her arrival
" in London* the old warrior h.id become
a captive to the enchantress.
Ine courteu uiti lauv su usicuwuuusly
its to rouse the jealousy of the
Italian faction; his enthusiasm was
rather awkward at times to the obj fet
of his homage. 1 have her own
authority for saying that the duke
always arrived early and seated
himself in his box on a level with
the, stage. Directly he saw Jenny
Lind he opened fire: "Good evening.
Miss Lind, how are you tonight?
jQ^right, I hope.' These well-meant
utterances were a trifle out rf. plact?
at the particular time, for the Lucia.
Arnica, or Daughter of the liegiment
was always so absorbed in her
part as to be out of touch with all
outside influence."
FLAPPER HAD KINDLY HEART
i Just Goes to Prove That One Is Not
Always Safe in Judging by
Appearances. >
She got on the internrban ear a few
stops the other side of Greencastle
^ last week?a typical little flapper with
J bobbed hair, an abundance of paint
p on her cheeks, short skirt and imita^
tion of a blouse, and she flirted with
% every available man in sight. Across
& the aisle was an old-fashioned girl,
i the sort you see in pictures.
: .Every one of the latter's glances
?j.?- * ?i"i- ? r..n
ivnvru liie nine uappn ?cic j.uu v/i
:v scorn. But when they reached Greencastle
a little Japanese girl got on the
%Z; car. And then both of. the girls
watched her.
A few miles out of town the Japi&t
anese girl became ill. The old-fatshioned
girl sat aloof, but the little
"flapper" immediately got interested,
H moved over to her. patted her cheek
and then straightened her on ^he seat,
taking the other girl's head in her lap.
ggp ~ If. a vote could have been taken for
the moist popular girl on the train the
^ "flapper" would have taken first, last
jp; sod all honors.?Indianapolis News.
Worth Recording.
S A Washington woman had scrimped
V > for a long time to take a trip to ranai:
- oul "A man very much younger than
herself, in the deck chair beside her,
was making the voyage for the good
^ of a frazzled nervous system. He was
* whimsical youngster, who could joke
jk-y at his own ups and downs, and she
| was used to boys, so they talked of
this and that until at last the subject
around to the thine that makes
- the traditional mare-go: "The woman,
p; still dazed at the Aladdin-like power
C that could transmute small economies
Into "a fairy world of blue ocean billowing
Into blue sky, took her turn
f at the conversation by voicing civiliza|v
tion's oldest platitude:
1 "Money talks, doesn't it?"
II C>Ui ^ UWO, i IIOU^II uijr iiivu^J
only-knows two words?'Good bye.'"
And the woman has brought it home
as one of her good little stories.
The Church Fair.
The suburban woman and her seventeen-year-old
son. George, went to
the church fair. The fair, lik# most
church fairs, was costing the woman
a great deal of money. It was a
chance on this and a chance on that.
A few articles she bought outright.
Sinct? she was well known and her
husband's salary was also a matter of
town gossip, all her friends who had
charge of booths insisted upon her
buying and buying.
All this continual handing out money
was too much for George's comprehension.
He couldn't seem to under
stand the cause of it all. Finally,
when his mother was free for a few
v moments, he looked at her seriously
and asked. "Mamma, do we have to pay
to get out?"?Chicago Journal.
Cuts the World'* Whiskers.
The American safety razor is given
the credit of having conquered the
Spanish heard. On account of the
heaviness of their beards, the Spanish
men generally shave much less than
those of other countries and rhe result
was they presented a rather unshorn
appearance. The visit to the
barber was a serious matter and the
Spaniard selected his barber as other
men would select a dentist, the one
that was least painful. But the
American safety razor is said to have
overcome this and the men are not
only enabled to shave themselves, but
to shave more frequently.
Penny-uricus, So to Speak.
A man who had Just opened a store
in a strange town was interrogating
one of his early customers on the purchasing
nower of the citizens.
"Now, there's? Deacon Brown," he
said, "he has the reputation of being
wealthy. Would he be likely to spend
much money in here?"
"Wa-al," drawled the native, reflectively,
"I wouldn't exactly say that
he'd go to hell for a nickel, but he'd
fish around fer one till he fell in."?

YOMKERS HAS THE CUCKOO :
i i
Citizen Complains That the Birds Are
Scmewhat Too Attentive to
Business.
| A proud but truthful resident of
You ken? admitted that there vere a
Jot of cjckoos there. He wasn't proud
i Tf the cuckoon, particularly. As far as
cuckoos are concerned, his piide is
| strictly civic. If . one must have
i cuckoos, he prefers the Swiss kind,
which are vocal only when woi nd up
?nd then only at intervals.
! The Yonkers cuckoo do?sn't have to
he wound lip. The imported eight-day !
cuckoo is a piker beside the Yonkers
cuckoo. The Yonkers cuckoo slays
awake half the night waiting for the
dawn atd each has the same pride in
being the first to salute the earliest gleam
of the sky that a farmer's wife
has in getting her washing out before
a neighbor's line is strung.
| From the moment that the night be- j
comes faintly luminous until a*out i
9:35 a. m. the air is tremulous with
cuckoos. From 9:35 to 10:05, the ;
1 cuckoos knock off for lunch. Then
- they're at it again until dark. They
yelp "cuck-oo" at every resident of ;
Yonkers they see ami even at Strang- j
{ ers from Peekskill. When the street
is utterly deserted they murmur j
"cuck-oo, cuck-oo" Just for practice.
BIRD DOESN'T HAVE TO FLY

Now that spripg is here, it may interest
bird lovers to knokv that at j
least one bird has solved the problem |
of transportation without the use of j
; wm?s. ,
! Binls are famous for their migra!
tions, but hitherto they always have
used wing power. Now comes along
ore local bird who gets himself from
, plaoe to place with scarcely the flap j
of a wing. !
This bird ^ame riding down Pemisylvania
avenue about eleven o'clock
one morning last week. He was
perched on the roof of a street car
coming from Georgetown.
ki When the car stopped at Eleventh
street the bird alighted, and walked
gravely up and down the platform.
He was a tine, big fellow, with a black
body and a blue head, but did not look
like a blackbird.

The World'# Greatest Dam.
Plans have been made to build a
dam on the Colorado river which will
hold back a volume of water equal to
two years' flow of the entire 1.S00
miles of rushing river. The dam is
to be 700 feet high, approximately
the height of the Woolworth building
in New York city. The dam will form
a reservoir with an area of 200 square
" nTires" alW an average depth of 350
feet. This body of water will constitute
the largest artificial lake in the
world. One western raklroad system
is already planning to operate a fleet
of steamers to carry tourists over this
man-made lake to the Grand canyon,
the wonder spot of America. The
Panama canal is the only undertaking
ever attempted in America which
may he compared in magnitude or
boldness of conception to this en'

BANKERS BEHIND GROWERS
IN COOPERATIVE CAMPAIGN
Columbia, July 24.?The banks of
South Carolina will stand strongly behind
'the South Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative Association, in the
opinion of Chailes L. Cobb, of Rock J
Hill, president of the South Carolina
Bankers' Association, who declared
today that in his opinion the formation
of the association marked the
most forward step that the farmers
of the state have ever taken.
"I feel sure that there is not a
bank in South Carolina, but that will
cooperate in every way possible with J
the association," said Mr. Cobb. I
"The banks are delighted to see the j
f^vrvxn'c r?lt ttin tr cnch hllSmCSSlik6 ,
methods in the marketing of their |
crops. It is a step which we fee]
they should have taken long ago.
"A very great majority of the banking
institutions of the state indorsed
the movement during the organization
campaign and assisted in putting
the campaign over. They did this
only after they had made a through
study of the plan and of the operation
of the associations in other states
v.hich functioned last season.
"I feel that an exceptionally able j
board of directors has been chosen in
this state, one that can cop** su:> j
mightcessfully with any problem j
j which might arise. The war finance I
I corporation has placed its stamp of j
j approval on the organization l y ap- j
