Well, Say Profiteers. Charged $1.50 for On* off the Ab?olut? N?oe**arl#? off Ut9, He Ha* Re nounced Yank??$ and All Thalr Worka Anyone who hu? ever had the mad* denlng experience of being ntung, stripped, robbed or mulcted of a good ly Hum can ami will sympathize with Uncle Joe Howsley, a gentleman from the Lone Star state, who came Kaat on n Utile summer trip and fell among thieves, as he views .the mattor. Unci* Joe la an expert on watermelons, know* Ing the fruit from stem to blow end like a book. He ' is also familiar with watermelon etiquette, so his experience proved shocking In more way* than one. A writer In a Pittsburgh paper tells the stotry as follows: Uncle Joe owned a five-acre farm down In Shackleford county, Tex**, until a few months ago. He then, through the will of a benign fate and the activities of an oil compvUN cea^fd being the owner of a farm and became an oilman with an Income of several thousand perfectly good dollars a month. As a consequence, the wander lust struck Uncle Joe and he accord ingly hied himself northward to ex plore unfamiliar lauds. $fow he la going back to Qod's country, glad, auh. that the unfamlllarlty lasted for the years It did. Down In Uncle Joe's land the neo tar known as the watermelon Is a fa vorite form of diet, and Uncle Joe Is one of the epicure* who when Jn his part of the world partook of the treat dally. Down there a melon of a sire that would tax a man's strength to ^tote, suh, could he purchased for a five cent piece. Or, If a field was at hand wherein grew the food of the godn, the talcing thereof without the knowledge of the field's owner whs eontddered no broach of the law. It Is not strayge, therefore, that on strolling about a city to view Its sights, when "Uncle Joe's" eyes fell upon a restaurant In the window of which were displayed numerous Inviting red nnd green melons, life took on an In terest that It had not felt since his train had passed over the boundary of the (irund Old State. "Uncle Joe" hastened Inside and called for watermelon. After what seemed much time, a slice, which "Uncle Joe" will testify wus not more thuu two by six inches, was placed before htm.1 "I said 'watermelon'; not h bite, suh," he announced cuttingly, when Jjls amazement at the magnitude of the thing before him had passed sufficient ly to allow htm to speak. * - After much argument, he made the bewildered waiter understand that what he desired was a whole melon like any gentleman Is served with down where tliey know how to serve It. "Uncle Joe" consumed the two halves placed before him in blissful Ignorance of the outrage that was about to be perpetrated upon him. Th?n came fhe check ! Watermelon, $l..r^suh! . It wasn't necessary to send In a riot call, but for a time it looked as though It might be. Ah It was, "Uncle Joe" stamped from the den of thieves, vow ing vengeance against all Yankees In general and one Yankee restaurant In particular. Must Keep Climbing. You can m?ver let down the bani when you want to become great. The price Is eternal Vigilance. Even when success Is assured you must keep on going. ? Men who ^become great by spurts usually sink jnto Insignificance the same way. Besides making tip your mind that you are going to suc ceed# you must see to It that you real ize what's In your mind. Talking about what you expect to do will never bring It to pass. The up-hill is always before you. The only way to reach the top Is to climb, ff you can com mand the means that takes you ther# It will save your energy for other things. Usually the energy you de velop through the climb will be useful In days to come. The climb may tlr? you, but It will also make you appre ciate the view. ? Grit. Ancient Indian Burial Ground. Beneath roots of two large trees two Indian skulls and other bones of the human body were found by workmen leveling mounds in the city park on the shores of Lake Bemldji, Minn. The skulls and bones were badly decayed, hut the teeth ^ere In fairly good condition. Charcoal in large quantities was found In the vicinity of the bones, which indicates that the place was an Indian burial pyre, pld residents say. It Is believed that beneath the mound may be found mnny more bodies, hut the workmen merely re moved the top earth and, with the ex* ceptlon of a few bones which were gathered by souvenir seekers, the skeletons were again buried. No Doubt of That. "Of course, you know that whisky Is poison?" "Yes." replied Uncle Bill Bottletopi "any kind you can buy now Is mljfhty likely to be." Relative Value*.
