TWO COLONELS FOR WILSON
Col. George Harvey, who once up
on a time was styled "George Brin
Con McClellan Harvey,” and Marse
Henri, who once upon a time was
.styled “Col Henry Watterson,” are
both out for the re-nomination and
re-election of President Wilson. This
recalls the many vicissitudes of the
friendship of these great journalists
and grand old cronies for Mr. Wilson.
Both picked Wilson for the nomina
tion and election long before the Re
publican debacle of 1912—in fact.
Col. Harvey, formerly George Brin
ton, etc., was the “original” Wilson
Man. Both quarreled with him before
the Baltimore convention. Both of
them "came back” and supported
him for the election, though in a sort
of aristocratic and stiff-necked fash
ion. Both made up with him and be
came “chummy” guests at the White
House. Then both fussed a good deal
over various administration policies,
and acted like men who were ready
for another quarrel with their early
love. Then both “came back” again,
and have picked hint for a second
term in the White House.
However, both Colonels are pretty
good Americans, and both have great
fondness for politics and like to pick
winners.—Juneau Empire.
Churches Yield Copper.
BERNE: A military order has
been received at the Austrian village
of Hoetchs, near the Swiss frontier,
for delivery of the larger churrh
trails and of copper from the roofs
of the churches to the authorities
for the manufacture of t.ar muni
tions.

WHEN YOU GREET A FRIEND.
Tell Him He's Looking Fine and 8ee
How It Cheers him.
"By George, old mini, yon ure looking
fine!"
Did you ever not lee liow you |>erk up.
no mutter how poorly you were feeling
before, when some friend greets you In
that way?
According to the secretary of the
Colorado board of health, the human
system Just naturally begins to tone
up under the stimulus of such greet
ings.
He declares It is an aid to health
and a help in preventing disease, and
to that end he advocates a "tell your
friends how well they look" movement.
“It Is not only bad taste to talk of
your pains and ailmeuts." says the
doctor, "but a reflection on your Intel
ligence and knowledge of sanitation
and good health. We ure not far from
the time when the cause of illness will
have to lie accounted for personally.
"In other words, nature is no longer
going to be blamed for sickness when
It is simply the result of ignorance. In
difference or wrong ways of living.”
Do you not think it worth giving the
doctor's iden a try?
We do! So here goes:
"By George, yon are looking tine!”—

LITERARY FORGERIES.
Stuff With Which Vrain-Lucas Duped
An Aged 8ci«ntiaL
The most remarkable literary forgery
on record was perpetrated in 1870 on
Michael Chasles. a French scientist
of European reputation. Chasles. who
wns in bln dotage, purchased within a
few years from one Vrain-Lucas no
fewer than 27,000 autographs. A. M.
Rroadiey tells tbe story in his “Chats
on Autographs:"
“Beginning with a supposed corre
spondence between the youthful New
ton und Pascal. Vrain-Lucas proceeded
to fabricate letters of Rabelais, Montes
quieu and La Bruyere. Before he had
finished M. Chasles became tbe posses
sor of letters in French, and written on
patter made in France, of Julius Cae
sar. Cleopatra. Mary Magdalene and
even of Lazarus after bis resurrec
tion.”
Vrain-Lucas was sentenced to two
years' imprisonment, and among other
forged manuscripts from bis peu there
were produced In court letters from
Alexander tbe Great. Herod. Porapey.
Judas Iscariot Sappho. Pontius Pilate
and Joan of Arc.
Battlecry of tha Cat.
The piercing wurcry of the cat in
the night startles and exasperates as
beyond all bearing—not by Its loud
ness. but by a certain vicious, weird,
half terrifyiug, half infuriating note in
it that makes us spring to urtns with
the bootjack or other substitute for
the boomerang, as the wnrwhoop of
our tribal enemies did a century or
centuries ago. says Ur. Woods Hutch
inson.
One of Mark Twain’s wise old fron
tiersmen had caught this note when
be explained to the tenderfoot that an
imal speech bad rules of composition
and grammar, just like human speech,
and that "the reason a cat riles ye so
ain't on uccouul of the noise she
makes, but ou account of tbe sickenin
bad grammar she uses.” And he was
right, for the grammar of scalp lifting
uud the whole alphabet of buttle, mur
der and sudden death tingles and
screams,in the rasping cry.
The Weather Changeth Not.
The oldest weather diary known to
be in existevee was kept by a Lincoln
shire parson, William Merle, close ou
til 10 years ugo. From 1 "»I7 to 1344 he
wrote it up. often day by day, in l.nt
in. and bis manuscript, being on vel
him, was somehow preserved and is
now in the Bodleian Merle did not
trouble bimsclf with tbe popular lore
about “skyey inlliieiices,” lint stuck to
an accurate record of fact, in the spir
it at least of the modern meteorolo
gists. And from bis joltings it seems
that be had pretty much the same
kind of weather to deal with as folks
in his parish of Frilby experience now
Contrary to theory, the changes of six
centuries have not reduced the number
of wet days In the year. — London
Chronicle.
