In Europe.
They were sitting in a cafe neai

man, a typical Teuton, wo? talking1

calm. Two later comers at a ncarbj
table watched them.
"Do you understand German?'
esKed one. "Can you tell me what
the big fellow is saying?"
"1 can make out moat of it," replied
hia companion, 'and I know
who the men are: Johann Schuh
and Pierre Dumont."
"Jove!" exclaimed the first, as the
big man leaned forward and pounded
the table vehemently, "he'll lx
pitching into the little chap next.''
"Oh, no," suid the other spectator,

and "Diebe" and "verdammtc

hardly a word of any other language

PROFITS OF SHEEP MEN CUT
Depredations of Dogs Cause Immense
Annual Loss to the Raisers
of the Animals.
Thirty-six of the states of the
Union arc el ssified as agricultural
states. The United States department
of agriculture has recently
completed an estimate of the number
of sheep killed by dogs every
year. The estimate is based upon
figurcH collected for 1913. It shows
that in the 30 agricultural states the
annual loss totals 107,760. Ohio's
loss reaches 15,500 yearly; Indiana,
12,000; Iowa, 11,000; Kentucky,
6,600; Illinois, 1,920 and other
states in proportion.
The total loss compared with the
number of sheep shown by the 1!) 10
census seems small. It is less than
one per cent of the sheep population
of the country. However, that sheep
grower who is getting a return of
five ]>cr cent on his investment, taking
one year with another, is doiug
well. This makes a loss of one per
cent loom up dangerously. Nor is
the loss of one per cent from dog
depredations the worst feature of the
situation. The dread of what dogs
may do to the flock is preventing any
increase in sheep keeping. To the
question, "What causes are preventing
an increase in sheep raising?"
531 of 804 growers answered
"Dogs!"

NOVEL USE FOR TELEPHONE
Surgeons Employ Instrument to Deter
mine the Exact Location
of Bullets.
War is a stimulus to science, and
this is reflected very strikingly it
matters pertaining to the relief ol
."the wounded. The search for and
extraction of fragments of shells i?
no simple matter, although surgical
endeavor has been facilitated by the
perfection of the X-rays. "Hut these
are insufficient. A bullet may be
located speedily, hut the difficulty
is to ascertuin its precise position by
the probe and lancet. As a result of
study and investigation a simple and
effective method of discovery has
been perfected, which may he described
as telephoning for bullets.
Ordinary telephonic receivers are
clamped over the surgeon's head, one
wire being led to a carbon plate and
the second wound round .the knife,
probe, needle, forceps or whatever
instrument is used. With this implement
the search is made, and directly
it conies into contact with.'
say, a bullet, n distinct click is
heard on the telephone. If the instrument
is ruhlxil across the surface
of the buried object a rattle is
observed, and by following this eluo j
it is possible to withdraw the bullet |
or fragment of metal. The idea u
by no means new, inasmuch as it
was employed for tlie first time dur- j
ing the Boer war; but the present
campaign has served to bring it to
a high state of perfection.

GUIDE TO JAPAN.
Walk up five months, beginning i
with January, turn sharply to your |
right, and there is June.
June is noted for its roses and ;
honeymoons. There arc more deso* '
lated households in June, on account
of outgoing brides, than at any other
time. Also more households where!
mamma experiences a grand feeling I
of relief and papa hopes that now
expenses eon he cut down.
To enjoy June properly, take an
early start. Begin to make your
plans about it in March. (Jet rid of
vour moral courage, your character
and your regular business. Then,
grabbing all the money there is "in
the cash drawer, enter June with
confidence and give yourself up to it

"Are you a genuine soothsayer?"

"Then yon ought to know that 1
