Remarkable flessage
Pensacola, Fla. One of the most re
jnarkabie wireless messages ever>ent,
was -received here signed by Norman
Kose of the United Press Association, ;
from the Uvans Fleet on the Pacific,
stating that the battleships would
reach Magdalena hay three days ear-:
Her than planned.
The wireles- Hash which crossed two |
mountain ranges and a continent, beat j
Uvans' formal telegram to the navy J
department, Bose’s message was the
first word heard from the fleet since it i
left Callao and was at once forwarded
to the president and Secretary Met- |
calf, who were greatly pleased to jfet
it. The me»age declared the fleet to !
be in execllent condition and making
extraordinary time.
Robbing Paris
Paris-American millionaires are!
robbing Paris of its chief glory its
good old wipes. Our Burgundies and
Bordeaux are all going over to stock]
the cellars of Fifth avenue or New
port. J. Pierpont Morgan alone pur
chased eighty thousand francs’ worth]
of historic bottled wines. Today it is]
absolutely true that there is hardly a |
retaurant in Paris where you can order
a wine older than 1878. This is partly
due to the philoxera and bad seasons,
but is more especially due to Yankee
greed.
“Vengeance Is nine”
A small boy was a member of a class
in spelling, and the pupils after spell
ing a word were called upon to deline
it and then to make proper use of it in
a sentence. This small boy had the
word “vengeance,” which lie spelled
properly.
“Well, what does it mean?” the
teacher asked.
“It means a mean, nasty, cranky
way of getting even with people.”
“That is about what it means,” said
the teacher, “but you have expressed
it rather crudely. Now construct a
sentence in which the word is proper
ly used.”
“Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord,”
and for a moment the teacher and the
visiting committee from the school
board were in danger of collapse.
