WHAT HE WANTED] f Summer Boarder Desired a Taste of Hit Boyhood Days. Ha Qot a Qreat Deal Moro Than H? Expected, But Ha Wae Game and Had No Complaint to Make. "Ever Klnce my wife and I begun to | It c?>|? Huiiuiior boardera," remarked , Caleb 1'euslee, "we've tried t?? give 'em j what tlicy wanted, If ' t w u h anything you could cull within the bound* of reason." Mr. Ilyne caressed his chin with the hack of his hand and looked at Culeb keenly. "V hut you tryln' to get at?" he nKk?>d ; and thou, without waiting to leuru. "What kind of a critter Is that oldish uian that I've noticed round your place lately?" he demanded. "That's the critter I had in mind j when I begun to tell you," Mr. I'enslee i replied, "ami In Home wuys he's about , the most cur'na boarder we've ever , took. We've tried hurd to sutlafy him. uiul fr'in what he told us jlils inorulu' j 1 guess we've made out. "When he fust come," Culeb went on. j "he told us that he'd been born In the j country and lived there till he wan ttf- j teen years old, and theu his folks , moved to the city nnd he'd lived there I ??ver since, lle'd never hud u chunce to get back to tho country for's much ; as a week till this summer, and he j wanted to have things us ueur the way , they wus when he wus a boy us we ? could make 'em. "The fust night," Caleb continued, "we put him In a big room in tho front part of the main house, with four win- j dors and a good spring bed. Come . morning, he didn't c'mplnln exactly, hut gave more or less p'ticulars 'bout ; the room he used to sleep In when he was u boy; so after breakfast I sot myself to the task of flndin* out, If I could, Jest what he did want, and when I fln'ly got it through my head I couldn't believe It for u spell, nor my ; wife, either. What he reully wanted, ; 'cordln' to him, was ?n open room In . the attic, where he could sleep on u husk bed. "That was yest'day, und last night j he went to sleep up In the attic. You know what a br'llln' hot day It was yest'day? Well, I mistrust that attic! must have been a good deal like an oven, and the only way to get any com fort ut all would he to open the win ders, and they ain't screened. 1 had nn Idea that he'd find the mosquitoes full's thick as he'd cure 'bout Imvlif 'em, but 1 wii'n't p'pured for anything like his looks when he came down stairs this ruornln'. His eyes looked 'sit' they wus swelled 'bout shut and his hands and neck ? well, they was ;i sight . He had better grit than I'd evei had to stay (here an hour, let alone all night. "And further'n that," said Caleb, "he M??od there in the doorway this morn in', tryln' to grin, and owned up to hi* mistake In a way that I'd call hand .some ! "Tor a number of years,' he says.

'Hut.' he says, 'I've got to give up that even when I was a boy I never saw any such mosquitoes. '1 hey proh'blv wn'n't anywhere near as big us doves nor as savage as wolves.' lie says, 'but It seemed to mo they was ? and wuss'n that! "'Now,' s'ho, 'I want you both to understand that I ain't complalnin' at nil. I'm Jest satisfied that I've had things as I've been?wantln' to have 'em for a number of years. And now.' he says to my wife, sudden-like, 'how 'bout that witch-hazel? Ain't that good for Insect bltos?' "And that's the way I left him," Caleb continued, "doctorln' up his bites und llstenln' to my wife's aympathlzln' while she told him how comf'table she | was goln' to make him in the front room from now on." ? Youth's Compan ion. Dutch Are Heaviest Smokers. How many of us will make tho in cr eased duty on tobacco a Jumping-off place for total abstinence? Probably more In Great Britain that would be (he case, say, In Ilolland, where the average smoker consumes four times fls much tobacco a* does the English man, says the London Chronicle. An 'ingenious German a few years ago worked out the rank of countries In smoking. After Holland, which takes easily tho first place, come Aus tria, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium and Germany. Modest places are tak en by France, Sweden and Spain, with Britain almost at the foot, next to Italy and Russia. The United States smoker makes the nearest approach to the Dutchman's eight ounces with his consumption of three ounces a week. More Reliable. Willis ?

FAMOUS SEA NAMES REVIVED Roohrlotonlng of Bohtod Q ermon Voe* Mia Rooe'lo Shla# That Brought ojpr The ^hipping hoard haa adopted tho Muggestlon Chut the felling veaathi among tho Gehnau refugee ahlpa which the government took over uh a war measure be given uaiuea from tho llMt of famous vessels of tl>$ clipper Hhlp era. These Hhlpa. harks and Mchoonurs were aelxed on the Pacific count. Five of them, now put In serv lee, are r<*fiamcd Northern Light, lied Jacket, Came Cock, Flying Cloud and Preadnu light. Those old ships made the American merchant marine famous In tho period preceding the Civil war. The German vessels are probably nothing like them In appearance,. and >6ould not match such winged witches as the Bed Jacket, Flying Cloud and others In a >ace around the Horn, or between New York and Liverpool. However, flying the American flag, comnutnded by American skippers and manned by American crews ? 'for the most part, very likely, not directly degcended from the old Yankee stock that ruled the weas In the clipper days ? the Steln bek, Dalbek. Vlnner, Ottawa and Kurt will try to live up to their new names. It Is too bad If. as appears from the spelling In the dispatch from Washing ton, the shipping board has followed the navy department In spelling "dreadnnught" with an "a" Instead of nn "o." Secretary Daniels made that change soon after he became the civil lord of the fleet. In the common mean ing, the dictionary may prefer "dread naught" to "dreadnought," though both are perfectly good usage. Rut there Is no warrant at all for the former spell ing In the only senfie In which n secre tary of the navy has official use for the term. The British battleship, the original* lty of which gave the name to this type of naval architecture, was the Dread nought. and except by our navy depart ment that Is always the spelling when the type Is referred to. As for the fa mous old clipper ship her name, em phatically, was Dreadnought. In a free country anybody may spell to suit him self. But to call that German Rhlp "Dreadnnught" Is not renaming her for the historic Amertcnn cltpper. It Is simply confirming orthographical dic tum. ? Providence Journal. Influence of the Times. Literary modes are like the mode? of fashion. True, literature repre sents the great Issues occupying tho minds of the people. Not always, however, does It so represent the In terests of the age; for example, the romanticism of the period following the French revolution and periods of the snme kind In ancient times, says the Columbia State. The Creek thought produced Aristotle, but Aristotle had something to do with It himself. The followers of Aristotle followed the ex ample of n great man. Such fashions have at all times been characteristic i?f literature. Or take tho present age. Is the literature of the age dictated by a Zeitgeist? Only vaguely can one as sert that it is so. With the war. how ever, there came in new Interests and danger-: \\hi< h Imv affected man. The condition was made by man and one assertion by someone brings down an other so that while, figuratively, the times may be said to he speaking, tho men are simply following a fashion. If Zeitgeist is important in determining thought, the spirit surely was for dis armament and peace, fur such was tho spirit of leaders of thought. However, other individuals thinking otherwise had larger following* and the political power to wield that influence, and the war was the result. He Refused a Peerage. David Alfred Thomas, the man who has charge of British munitions pur chases in tin' United States and Can ada, under Lloyd-George, Is sixty-one years old. lie has refused a peerage, has fought for an eight-hour working dav for British miners, long before the maVter became a ''political question, and Is one of the few men of high finance that is beloved by his work men. "D. A.," as he is known in Eng land, is one of the largest coal opera tors Ip the world. A few years ago he organized the Cambrian coal combine, , one of the most powerful combinations in Britain. He was born at Monmouth i shire, in Wales, March 26, 1856, the son of a wealthy colliery owner. Ho was educated at Cambridge, where he won academic honors. He began work with a pick in the mines and was a , clerk in his father's office. He en tered parliament representing a large mining constituency, and served for 20 years. Law Regulating Germs. New York state has a new law regulating the possession of disease germs by scientists and experimenters. All laboratories and experimenters I must take out a state permit before propagating, possessing, handling Or dealing in any germs of deadly ail ments. The purpose is to prevent ' germs falling into the hands of per sons likely to use them for malicious or murderous purposes, and to keep track of all such media of disease In i the state. Practical Enough. "I certainly got a shock yesterday," confided the broker to a friend. "A young man telegraphed me from Maine that he had married my youngs est daughter." "Great heavens 1" returned the oth er. "Well, all you can hope for now Is that he may turn out to be a prac tical business man." "Ob," interrupted father, "I grv*a? he's practical enough.

The <|ualiiieations for a bal loonist are milch ? f-be ? -a me ? ? for an airman : cood eyesight, hearing, and physical health. It is, lu?vvover, only the officers of a balloon company who make the ob servations. A company consists of 01 men and the entire number of enlist ed men is necessary to carry on the miscellaneous work in handling the balloons. The young men who aspire to be olficors must, generally speaking, be college graduates or have completed three years of such a course. They do not go first to one of the regular training camps, but are assigned direct ly to the school at Omaha. On alternate days n student is given a hand at a big observation kite bal loon. It is brought down and sent up every half hour, thus giving each pu pil a chance about every other day. This balloon is firmly anchored with a 1-4 inch steel cable to an automo bile truck, the engine of which fur nlshes the power tt> haul it down. There is also a telephone wire running from the Iwlloon to t'he ground by means of which the observer keeps in touch with the men below. To make the work realistic and typical of actual conditions representa tions of trenohes and embankments are located about four miles away in the country.
