i EW SHORT STORIES CHOICE MISCELLANT Statues In Politics. The commander of a British vessel " was a few months ago a guest of Pres ident Cipriano Castro of Venezuela, who did everything in hi3 power to -entertain his visitor. One afternoon, ays The Youth's Companion, the pres ident drove the officer about the city, pointing out the monuments which - adorn the avenues and plazas of the capital of Little Venice. Portents of the revolution which has iiow involved both Venezuela and the United States of Colombia were not - wanting, and the Englishman, thinking -of the precarious political condition and noting the number of monuments in bronze erected to men who were still living, inquired of the president if It were not somewhat risky to build me morials to living heroes. "Yes, senor," replied the president "but in case there is a revolution and .another party comes into power these monuments are hurled down and others -erected in their places." "That would seem to be a heavy ex pense to the state," commented the Englishman. "True, but honoring our supporters in this manner helps to keep them faithful and is worth all the costs." "I should suggest, then, if you will pardon the advice of a stranger, that as a measure of economy you have these statues cast with detachable heads, so that when one of your nu merous revolutions occurs you can simply unscrew the head of the hu miliated hero and replace it with that the conqueror." "Ah, that would never work," re joined the president. "They already feel that their heads are none too firm ly fixed on their shoulders, and such an arrangement would be entirely too sug gestive." A Relative of Santa. Clans. TVhile the special train of George Gould was on a side track in Missouri Mr. Gould stepped to earth to stretch hla legs while waiting for a regular train to pass. It was in the more rug ged part of the state, well away from civilization. A typical inhabitant of the district stopped a pair of emaciated mules near the train. He hailed Mr. Gould and said: "Say, mister, we have a new baby at my augout, and we ain't got no soap. My old woman Is so stuck up over it A Pifftail Party. The Philadelphia Record relates: "A pigtail party was given in his studio the other night by an artist from the : west. The arriving guests were very ! curious to know what on earth this sort of a party is, and they found it to be one whereat the tails of pigs are the main dish of the supper. As ae-: cessories there were served, of course, ! sauerkraut, sausages, cheese and pret-j zels, but the delicious pigtails lorded it easily over their neighbors. They; were fried, and each guest found he could eat a dozen without difficulty. 'In St. Louis,' the artist said, 'pigtails are as common an article of food as pigs' feet or beefsteak. Every butcher has them on sale, and they cost about; 20 cents a dozen. Here in the east they j seem to be unknown. I had a great deal of trouble to get these that you are eating tonight and had to order, them two weeks in advance.' Several ' men got the recipe for their cooking ana saia tney would leave standing or ders for pigtails with their butchers." vt4Ao 0.0 EDiigjestts Eatl nBQ) Codfish, Eprsrs and Bleat. The mother codfish is prolific, the roe , of a large one containing as many as 9,000,000 eggs. Nature seems to have : provided for a much larger supply of coci than we are obtaining, but the ! eggs, floating on the surface of the wa ter to hatch, are destroyed by millions. Codfish eat anything that comes along, ! from tacks to sharks' teeth. In the stomach of a large specimen "two ducks ,' were found. The fish weigh as much j as 150 pounds, and the biggest are ! rour ana a Half "eet in length. One man has caught 600 in a day of eleven nours on the Newfoundland banks with a hand line. Eighty men take on an average of 1.G00 a day on the Dogger bank. Newfoundland is the headquar ters for dried cod. Consul Carter, at St. John's, says the quantity held there before the present season opened was 85,840,000 pounds. The stock on hand a year before was 42,500,0000 pounds. New York Press. j( j Paper Tlmt Stops Ballets. A series of interesting and in their way almost unique firing trials has been undertaken by the Swedish gov ernment. The purpose of these experi ments was to examine the eilect of shooting against pasteboard. The tri als were conducted on the wharfs of the Swedish navy in Carlserona, and the target used was a prepared one of millboard, against which fire from re volvers, rifles, carbines and machine guns was directed. The pasteboard, which was three inches thick, resisted completely the! bullets fired from the small arms, but! was perforated by the projectiles from j the machine guns. The experiments ) may be said to have given very inter esting results. Bullets from the ca bines used are able to penetrate wood en planks five inches in thickness, butl they could not penetrate the paste board, which was only three inches' TDe Notional Disease. If there is any disease entitled to such a distinction it is certainly dyspepsia. It is safe to say that not one person in ten enjoys the blessings of perfect digestion, Strang though it may seem. Why is this? Digestion is a slow process by which .nature transforms the food into a state suitable for nourishment for the body. The time required varies from one to six hours or more, according to the food. In the hurry, worry and hustle, the striving for the almighty dollar, the 20th century American rails to give proper heed to nature's de mands upon his time. . He gets up in the morning, bolts his breakfast without half chewing it, washes it down with hot coffee or other liquid and rushes off to his business. At noon, it's rush home or to the lunch counter, eat his lunch hastily while fatigued and out of breath, then rush back to busi ness. One of the greatest essentials to pro per digestion is the mastication or ehewW of food, to thoroughly mix it with saliva. If this is not done, the food passes into the stomach in a condition which does not per mit of its being acted upon by the gastric Juices there, even though there be sufficient SDS1 ODD0 of these Juices. With the body fatigued and continually in action, the blood is drawn Si5Stw3iS? dieestiTe organs, hence th? digestive fluids cannot be su pplied. Natur ally this leaves a lot of undigested food in the stomach that is not only useless but harmful. Now what is to be done? TvJi1? bf digested. A little stimulant might help it temporarily, but that makes the next meal stilf more difficult to digest, as it draws on the digestive Juices unnatur ally and soon exhausts them.

Mrs. Gould, who overheard the re quest, had a porter give the man sev- - eral pieces of soap wrapped in some i , towels and several articles of tinned delicacies. The man seemed much sur prised at such generosity, and as he turned to drive homeward he shouted back to Mr. Gould: "Say, mister, you all must be some relation to Santa Claus." Bojrns Art Works In Paris. In a recent issue reference was made to the trade in Paris in bogus pictures and works of art generally. An exten sive fraud has now come to light In connection with tapestry for so called antique furniture. The carving for "original" seventeenth and eighteenth century articles is responsible for this. The demand has far exceeded the sup ply, and ingenious inventors of an un scrupulous class have set about meet ing it. The antique, with all its faded and worn effects, has been so success ' fuliy produced that even experts have been deceived. At last the matter has ; become so flagrant that the police have j taken it in hand, and some arrests have been made. In the meantime, how ; ever, a rich harvest has been reaped, : for many ah "amateur'! of the antique ! has his rooms furnished with these bogus productions. Paris Messenger. : f tin 1 p&iiime; i EiLEMTi The Dnke, Sure Enough. A Scotch clerk who wished to com municate by long distance telephone with the head of the firm, then at his country mansion on Roseneath penin sula, attempted to call him up. Get ting a connection, he inquired, "Who are j-ou?" "The Duke of Argyll," -came back the reply, with the usual reciprocal interrogation, "Who are you?" "Oh," lightly answered the skeptical clerk, "I'm King Edward iVII.," a response which is alleged to tiave provoked the other end to indig nant remonstrance. The clerk had rung up the wrong number and was connected with the castle of the duke. Male Beavrra Dam a River. The biggest beaver dam ever seen In Maine is now attracting hundreds of people to Caribou, on the Aroostook riv er. Two miles from the village the bea vers have built a dam of logs and mud 250 feet long, turning the river back upon the lowlands for a distance of three miles and thus creating a great lake. Trees a foot in diameter have been cut down by the beavers, the branches trimmed off and the trunks In some mysterious manner brought to the dam and submerged. The dam is better than many, on the river that have been built by man, and the Cari bou people are rather proud of it. Over a thousand beavers have worked hard on this job for several months, and they will be allowed to remain in pos session all winter. Lewiston (Me.) Journal. Had Sat In tlie Chair. Queen Anne was once surrounded by a host of gayly dressed courtiers, and in the throng was an old man of eighty-three, wearing the plain dress of a country farmer. "Have you ever seen such a sight before?" asked a 'looker on. And the throng was star- tied to hear the- old man say, "Never : since I sat in her chair." It was Crom well's son Richard, who went Into re- tirement on the restoration of King Charles II. Doing the Right Thing:. The wife of a provincial mayor in England, who had on some special oc casion to inscribe her name after the various .members of the royal family, Wishing to do the right thing, cast an inquiring eye on the signatures al ready Inscribed and, seeing "Albert Edward," "Helena" and "Christian ilTIctor," seized the pen and trium phantly wrote "Jane!" A Wonderful Old Clock. An interesting exhibit at the Smith sonian instituticr! !s an old German clock that was ticking about fifteen years before the birth of the great American republic. It keeps good time and is 140 years old. It is made of hard wood, and the work was all done by hand. Every piece ot the mechan ism is highly polished, and it is put together with hand wrought rivets of brass. The parts show very little wear, and the timepiece is so care fully constructed that it does not vary a second In time during twenty-four hours. Philadelphia Telegraph.

Even the linotype can sometimes be amusing.

For "bath" read "oath." Only one letter wrong. Yet there Is no doubt whatever about the simple bath being good for the constitution. New York Mall and Express.
