ALLIED AVIATOR MAKES
A DARING CAPTURE
War Correspondents Vie in Attribut
ing Brave Deeds to Soldiers.
LONDON. Somewhere in the Cal
endar—Aviator Flye was honored
with the Order of the Red Suspender
upon his furlough home from the
front last week, an honor he richly
deserved, for a brave deed and a clev
er prank perpetrated upon the ene
my. While making an observation
trip over the enemy trenches he
dropped to within 300 feet of the
ground, let out his anchor rope to
which was attached a grappling iron,
and with customary British daring
and skill, hooked the grappling iron
into one end of the German first
line trench. Putting on full speed
he yanked the trench up by the roots
and dragged it into the British lines,
thereby capturing 1,198 men, three
busy Berthas, sixty-seven officers and
a Spitz dog. This eclipses the feat
of Private Tom Jones, who recently
captured 102 Germans single-handed.
Uhlan Saves Lines.
BERLIN, Later than the Above—
Fritz Chowshky, a Uhlan in the Kai
ser's Own Guards, received the Iron
Cross last week for the rare presence
of mind he displayed during a charge
of 18,000 Allied troops at Somme.
The enemy charged up to the German
lines under terrific fire, and just as
the Germans were being driven back
in great disorder Fritz displayed n
“Verboten” sign, which forced them
to return to their own lines.

The aext time you meet John O.
Rockefeller Just ask him bow, much
mouey. be has In bis pocket. Ask him
bow much he has In the safe at bis
house or in the safe deposit box at his
hank—I mean real, old fashioned bank
notes and dollar bills. Let me tell yon
that If at this very moment you and
John D. Rockefeller should swap pock
etboiks you would likely get stung ■
Mr. Rockefeller probably has not a j
cent more of real money In his pocket i
today than you have. In a general
way this applies to all peoples all
over the world. In many communities
the workpeople carry more money
about with them than the rich.
I well remember that once, at my
summer home on the coast of Massa
chusetts, where real money Is scarcer
than fresh eggs, a very rich man who
was visiting us asked me to cash a
check for him as be was leaving for
New York. On looking Into his pock
etbook be discovered be bad only
$7.13! Well. I was even worse off.
having only a five dollar bill and a
few pennies. Even Mrs. Babaon could
dig up only a few dollar*, aa wo have
everything charged and pay by check.
' We were Juft on the point of break
ing open a child’s bank when a paint
er working abont the honae overheard
the conversation and suggested that
perhaps he could cash a check for $60!

BAGPIPES AND BRICKS.
On* Ca** In Which Mucie Did Not Da
th* 8*othlng Act.
The Adelpbla buildings In the Strand,
London, were buHt by two brothers of
the family name of Adam, and from
this fraternal union came the same
that was given to the buildings, the
Greek appellation of “Adelphl" or “the
brothers.*’
These brothers. were Scots and In
the ereqtjon of the buildings desired to
employ their own countrymen. So
they sent to the “Land o’ Cakes and
Britber Scots’’ for laborers to do the
work.
The story goes that after they arriv
ed and were set at work they proved
less active and energetic than was
profitable to the employers, to whom
a bright Idea finally came. They act
ed upon this Idea and brought to Lon
don from the north country a number
of bagpipers to encourage the tollers.
At first all went well. When the
bricklayers heard “O Hone a Rle.”
and the “MacGregors’ Gsthering" they
worked rapidly. Unluckily one dsy
one of pipers under the Influence of
London gin “gave the snap away” by
admitting that he and his fellow bag
pipers had been bribed to play In
quicker time.
Following this exposure of fool play
tbe men from the north put down
tbelr tools and found employment else
where.—Indianapolis News.
Lovs Affairs of Hand*l.
Women greatly admired Handel, who
was very handsome, but the serenity
of tbe composer seems only to have
been ru filed twice by love on bis part.
Ills first attachment wsb to a London
girl, a member of the aristocracy. Her
parents believed him beneath her In
social position, bnt were good enough
to say that If be abstained from writ
ing auy more musle the question of
marriage .might be entertained. It was
easier io "abstain from their daughter
than from his art. and'be did so. Tears
after almost the same thing occurred.
Handels** another beautiful pupil of
bis fell Is love with each other, and
proud parents gave him the choice be
tween giving np bis profession or tbelr
daughter. Music, “heavenly maid.”
was chosen.—“The Love Affairs of
Some Famous Men."
A Prophecy That Failed.
The old Emperor William need to
tell a story against himself which well
serves to Illustrate “that most gratui
tous form of error, prophecy.” When*
the emperor was only king of Prussia
be saw one day among his troops an
untidy looking lieutenant. “Who is
that man?" lie asked. “An oflicer,” he
was told, "who has just left the Danish
service and joined the Prussian."
“That man will never get on in the
army." said the monarch, and ho used
to add in telling the story. “The man
was'Moltkb. and my judgment of him
gives you the measure of my iDsigbt”
Bluffs Sometimes Win.
The Chinese tell a story about a
tiger that was led by* a monkey to a
Held where a fat mule was grazing.
The tiger, who had never seen a mule
before, licked his chops. But the mule
looked up languidly at tbe monkey and
said:
“Friend monkey, heretofore you have
always' brought me two tigers. How
Is It you bring me only one today?"
The bluff was so excellent that the
tiger made off as fast as he couid go.
The Elephant.
East Indians believe that the ele
phant lives 300 years. Instances are
on record of these huge animals hav
ing been In captivity for 130 years,
their ages being unknown when they
were taken from the jungle in a wild
state.
