Dear Friend and Brother: Well, Prank, It haa been some time since I bare written to you or any of the banch. Not that I hare forgotten ny of you, aa I think of all of you trrrj day, and I often wonder, how CkU winter has been on the boM there. I suppose It has been pretty erce as I see In the papers that it baa been cold. This la quite a rainy AunfrY. It rains, and then when It stalanes, It rains some more. It does1 ot get very cold, though, and the people all hare gardens planted and the fields are green. They hare the rainy wither Instead of snow. This town of Terlgueux (pro turunred Perigue) la a rery old and blstorlc place. I was through a mu meam that Is the most interesting I bare erer seen. Then I waa In an Id tower the Romans built before Christ, to defend thla city against the Hun tribes. Also I waa in an Id cathedral that was started Id' the 11th century and waa not finished ntll the 14th century. It sure is a grand sight. A French family 1 be came acquainted with took me through a coliseum like at Rome, where they used to make prisoners fight wild beasts. There are a great many buildings and towers here that are over a thousand years old. On account of the city being soold, the town Is quite dark at night, and the streets are very narrow, like our al leys at home. Most of the people are very friend ly to the Yanks. I have met several nice families, and been invited to suppers and dances where we had fine times. I can't get this French lingo down, so I make signs. Some of the families can speakgood Eng lish.

"I have discovered," replied the young man, "that It is a (treat deal easier studying history than It Is making It." esse An old lady, exceedingly hard of hearing, lived near the river. One afternoon a warship tyred a salute of ten guns. The woman, alone In her little house, waHed until the boom ing ceased. Then she smoothed her dress, brushed her hair back In a quaint manner, and sald.i sweetly, "Come In." e e e e Pat had lost an eye In battle. When he got out of the hospital and went back to the front he got Into an. argument with an English sol dier. "I'll bet," be said, "that I can see more with my one eye than you can with your two." "ProTe It." "Well, I can see two eyes In your face and you can only see one la mine." e e e e An Irish farmer, waking un in the night, saw an apparition at the iooi or me Dea. He reached out for a gun and perforated the ghost -with a bullet. In the morning h Hi SPAT. ered that he had made a target of nis own sntrt. "What did you do then?" Inquired Ihe friend to'vhnm he. told the story. "I knelt down and thanked Ood that I hadn't been Inside it," said the farmer .piously. e e 4 e I Soon after the Roosevelts took up their residence at the White House a fawning society woman skr..i nnn of the younger boys A he did not nisiiKe tne "common bfy8" ho met at the public school. The boy look ed at her in wonderment for a mo ment and then said: "My papa says there are only tall boys r.ud short boys and good boys and bad"7cy6, and that's all the kind of boys there are." e e e e "The German crown prince,' eays Former Ambassador Glrard, "waa much coddled by the ladles in the past, but I once heard an American gjrl In Berlin hand him, as the slang phrase goes, a good one. She was a breezy western girl, a millionaire's daughter, and the crown prince wis much taken with her dashing beau- j ty. I can trace my ancestry back twenty-seven generations, he said 1o Jier. She looked him overf and her jlip curled. 'What else can you do?' I ah a ao l.t The hostess, who was at least for-ty-flve, was a clinging, temperamen tal piece of femininity who tried to pass herself off as thirty and appar ently imagined that being rude and loniDoyisn assisted her to sustain the youthful illusion. At dinner oho asked the doctor to carve a chicken, i ' and, never having carved a fowl be . fore, he made a mess of it. Instead , or trying to cover his confusion hi Ihostess called attention to it point-; "J UUWU mo mule HIU1 saying audibly: ."Well, doctor, you may be a very clever surgeon, but if I wanted a leg cut offl I should not come to you to do It." "No, mad am," he replied, still continuing the carving, "Dut, men, you see, you are no chicken." e e e The propletor and editor of a cer tain local paper had been indulging , in a little plain talk and prophesying disaster to the little town if certain I improvements and sanitary reforms were not forthwith adopted. A lo cal parson sided with the rural coun cil which neglected these things and, after a sermon evidently pointed at the newspaper man, said: . "You should remember the fate of Bal aam." "I do," was the prompt re ply from the pew. "and I also re member who it was that warned the prophet." ; see It was a tumbledown hole of an inn, but the two commercial travel ers had no choice. They were stranded by a snowdrift, and must lodge there or nowhere. Full . of misgivings, they retired to the only bedroom available, and after bewail ing their hard luck so near Christ mas, climbed into the bed. Pres ently a curious odor permeated the atmosphere In other words, they smelt a smell. Vigorous search led one of them to the gas-bracket.. "I say, Mac." he shouted, shaking his slumbering friend, "wake up! The gas is escaping." : "Well." growled the other drowsily, "d'ye blame it?" m Pat and Mike were working on a new building. Pat was laying bricks. and Mike was carrying the hod. Mike had Just come up to the fourth, floor when the dinner whistle blew. His lunch was on the ground. "I hate to walk down after it." ha said. "Take hold of this rope," said Pat, "ana' 1 11 let you down." Pat led him down halfway and then let ko of the rope. Mike landed in the mortar bed not much hurt, but ter ribly angry. "And why did ye let go of the rone?" ha demanded "I thought it was going to break," said rai. -ana i naa presence of mind enough to let go." e e e A minister and Lord Elphlnstone were at loggerheads, and the former did not hesitate to try to take his lordship down a peg, even in church. The minister called out to the beadle one Sunday to "wauken Lord Elphln stone." "I'm no sleeping, minister," said the peer. "Indeed, you were, my lord." His lordship still deny ing it, the minister said: "What did I say last, then?" "Oh, Just 'wauk en Lord Elphinstone.' "s "Aye, .but what before that?" "Indeed, I'll gla ye a guinea, minister, It ye'll tell that yersol." rapped out his lordship, for the minister was notoriously ram bling and disjointed. e e e e "The sorest man I have ever seen," said an American aviator,' "was Lieutenant Meinwopf,-the star boche flyer, when he was nipped by Lieutenant Avery. Melnkopf was Baron Hlchtofen's successor and the best flyer that Germany had left. When Avery tackled him - he aban doned all set principles of air strat egy, simply sailed in and opened fire without indulging in preliminary maneuvers. He brought his man down In about three seconds and this was bis first boche battle. When Melnkopf landed he was purple with rage, and jji far as I could make out his complaint could be translated in this fashion: 'What the hell kind of flying is this, anyhow?' " GRANT COUNTY RAISED HIGHWAYJURVEY FUND Annual Meeting of 1'otaAh Highway Asft'n Members to lie Held at Heneca, February 25th Secretary W. D.

HOW TO SAVE ON SHOES "Out of curicsity I tried pas? of Neolin Soles," writes W. P. Macartney of St. Louis, "and today, after live months of hard service I fail to notice any real signs of wear on them." This statement points the way to real economy in shoes. What your shoes cost, by the year, depends larccly on how the soles w ear and Neolin Soles do wear a very long time. Moreover, they are exceedingly comfortable and waterproof scientifically made to be exactly what soles should be and so worn now by millions. They are available everywhere on new shoes and for rc-s lintj. They are made by The Gopdycir Tire & Rub ber Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to outwear any other heels. neoJm Soles MU MI Km. U.b. I t.
