GOOD MONEY FROM BAD EGG
\
illm Buckley Finally Proved Truth of
Saying That Ho Wao Fond
of Repeating.
“Thar ain’t nothin’ in the. world bat
la good fer somethin’ ” is one of the
favorite sayings of Jim Buckley of,
Bear Lake.
Buckley Is a thrifty soul. He farms
in summer and traps in winter and be*
tween wheat and furs he is growing
r|ch. One morning his wife was cook
ing breakfast She broke a. rotten egg
late a skillet and was starting toward
the door to throw it away when Buck-
ley stopped bey.
“Woman, don’t throw that egg
•way,’’ said Buckley.
“But it’s rotten,” protested his wife.
“Makes no difference,” declare^ thp
philsopber. "Thar ain’t nothin’ in the,
world but—”
“James Buckley,” exclaimed his
wife, “I’ve heard that a thousand
times.”
The wolf never sniffs at the door! of
the prosperous farmers of the Peace
river country. But foxes are different
animals—here is something you don’t
know—rotten eggs are rated as an epi
curean tidbit in vulpine menus.
That night Buckley set a trap in a
poplar grove near his home and baited
it with the rotten egg. He hoped to
catch a red i[ox or perhaps a coyote.
But when he went out to his trap next
morning, what do you think he found?
The biggest silver fox Buckley ever
had clapped eyes on. He sold the pelt
in Peace River the other day for $846.
“A right nice lot o’ money to hatch
from a rotten egg,” remarked Buckley,
as he stuffed the money in his-pocket.
“Fve allers allowed that thar ain’t
nothin’ in the world but is good fer
somethin’.”—Chicago Post.

ONE GOOD THING FROM WAR
Cocone Nut, Hitherto Considered Only
as. Nuisance, Has Been Made Arti
cle of Commerce.
Before the war the cocone, which
grows, freely in the Southern Ameri
cas, on large trees of the palm fam
ily, was literally such a hard nut to
crack that its vegetable oil had uo
place in commerce, and the tree was
known chiefly as a botheration to
banana planters when they wished to
enlarge their plantations. Eighteen
hundred pounds’ pressure Is required ,
to crack the cocone nut, and there was
no machinery for doing it. Then gov
ernment experts said that nothing else
la the world would provide such good j
carbon for gas masks as the cocone
nut, and the United States financed
the creation of machinery for crack-
ii^ it, thus, parting a pew and, im
portant industry. Hereafter It will
be well worth while breaking the shells
for the vegetable oil inside them, val
uable for cooking, lighting, and the
njaklng of nut butter; nnd the shell A I
happily no longer needed for masks, ■
can be used as fuel or In the manufac-
tare of gas. And so, out of an effort
tot prevent the expansion of autocracy
by conquest, the Southern Americas
find opportunity to expand by com-
amerce.—Scientific American.
Aristocrats In Gutter.
We bear rumors of grand dukes and
other members of the old nobility of.
Russia driving cabs and peddling boot-'
Iqces in Petrograd. This is no new j
thing in Europe. In England the de- J
acendants of the great Plantagenets
hgve been found lit very lowly occupa-1
Rons. A few years, ago a lawsuit
K ved that a genuine Bourbon was
n hawking vegetables in the streets
of Paris. A few years earlier a son of
• cousin of Empress Josephine, Na
poleon’s first love, was sent to prison
for petty larceny. In 1892 the Marquis
DeFoligne was an omnibus conductor;
t^e Comte de la Marche was a house
painter; the Marquis DeTorcey d’Etal-
3 nde kept a small inu at Carnac, and.
le Marquis d’Hauteroche, a descend
ant of the nobleman who, at the bat
tle of Fontenoy, called out to the
English: “Tires les premiers,” was a
gendarme.
Antimony in the Transvaal.
A new body of antimony Is reported
to have have been opened near the
Komatl river, In the district of the
Stenysdorp gold fields, Transvaal. As
tiie ore is found to.be valuable, a min-
tpg company Is now carrying on smelt
ing operations on the spot. Three
shafts have been sunk to a depth of 50
feet, besides open workings. One Is
continuous throughout. A furnace
capable, of smelting ten tons of ore
per day is in operation and It is stated
that there is sufficient ore in sight to
keep the furnace working while devel
opments are being made.—Scientific
jjnerican.

Roberts Predicted Foch’e Victory.
When Lord Roberts was in. Canadn
ten years ago at the dedication of the
Plfilns of Abraham park and play-
ground he made this prediction: “They
rqfuse to' believe me, and we are.
adteep under a false security, for I do
opt hesitate to affirm that we wtll
hive a frightful war In Europe, and
Great Britain and France will
|ve the hardest experience of their
nee. They .will, in fact, see de-
it very near, but the-war will finally
w6n by the genius of a French gen-
> named Ferdinand Foch, professor
In the military school in Paris.”
“Famous Shoes for Women” emerge from the
period of national stress with added triumphs.
It has been the proudly performed duty of the manu
facturers and the distributors to co-operate with the
Government in every manner. The “Queen Quality”
trade mark means the continued assurance of
good shoe service to the women of this country.
A growing army of American women look
for the Queen Quality trade mark on their
footwear. They know that it stands for
Reliability, Authentic Styles and a full
measure of value for every foliar expended.
The new “Queen Quality” Shoes for
Spring, as always, are styled correcdy,
priced fairly and made honestly.
You will select them with confidence and
wear them with daily satisfaction.
