Uo anys he has mndo the rounds of Japanese auto Btnnds where orientals In spick nnd span clothes wait and loaf all day long for a passenger, content to do that y,thor thnn tnko u real honost-to-good.Vwa Job. He makes his offer of wages, good wages, with house and fuel nnd water and so on. Sucking his breath through his teeth, and after some reflection, the Japanese Inquire: "You got bnrher shop there?" Brown was taken off his feot when this question was flwt propounded. No, ho didn't know of n barber shop around. Ills ranch Is well up In the mountains, ono of the most beautiful places In the Islnnds. "You got slor?" Rrown confesses to a storo three miles away. More reflection. "You got picture house?" Brown blinks at this question even now. Finally, the Japanese says ono thing more. "No can go. Me got brother ver-ry sceck. Too bad. I sor-ry." Pacific Commercial Advertiser. HE JUST WAITED TO KN0W!HSS WILL SIFT ANCIENT MOUNDS Possible Explanation for Nonappear ance of Watch Had Suddenly Dawned on Simple Farmer. Supt. J. H. Ourslcr of the Carnegie Steel company has established u cost price store for his 12,600 workmen, thus circumventing tho local prolltcer. One of the local profiteers asked Mr. Oursler If he would not shut up tho cost-price store, as It was Interfering with the other stores' profits, bnt Mr. Ourslcr answered : "Will I shut up our cost-price store, eh? Well, that Is nbout the nnlvest question I evor henrd. Yes, It's as naive a question as the young fanner's." "The young farmer's?" said tho prof iteer. "A young IMke county farmer," ex plained Mr. Ouslor, "stalked up to the Inquiry office In a Pittsburgh station nnd asked: " 'This here's the Inquiry office, ain't It?' "'Sure Is,' said tho capable young clerk. "'Wall,' said tho Plko county farm er, about eight hours ngo a gazabo took my new watch down tho street to get my name engraved on It free gratis so's It wouldn't get lost, nnd I'm kind of tired of waltin', so what I want to Inquire Is Is thero onrest In the engrnvln' trade, and arc all the Pittsburgh engravers out on strlko or sump'n?" HER PLAN Archeologlsts Plan Most Thorough Examination of Structures at -Camp Sherman, ln Ohio. Kxcnvntlons of seven prehistoric mounds at Camp Shcrmnn will be started by Dr. William C. Mills, cura tor of the Ohio State Archeologlcnl and Historical society. Tho farm on which the mounds are situated was one of thoso condemned and purchased by the government for Camp Sherman. Tho only examination ever made of tho mounds wns by Squler and Davis In 3810. Itcllcs they uncovered were purqhased by tho Blnckmoro museum, Salisbury, England, for 510,000. SquIer nnd Davis were responsible for the conclusion that tho mounds were built by n distinct race, known as "Mound Builders." This theory Is vig orously contested by Doctor Mills nnd other noted nrcheologlsts. They say there Is conclusive evidence that the mounds wero built by Amerlcnn In dians of tho Algonquin family. Squler nnd Davis, In their examination of tho mounds, merely tunneled severnl of tho mounds. Doctor Mills will com pletely tear them down sifting it great part of tho dirt through screens. There are 2!) mounds In the group. Some al ready have been exenvated by Doctor Mills. Ono wns found to contain 1118 skeletons and 12,000 specimens of flint, copper and pottery Implements' and Teasels. Why Hair Nets Are Dear. Tho hair net business of Chefoo, China, Is lu state of chaos owing to complications caused by buyers from Shnnghal going directly lo the makers In tho region of Chlngchowfu nnd thus competing with the firms with which these hiui contracts.

About tho only thing tho Lloyds will not Insure Is hnpplncss to follow an international marriage. While somo American women wiio wedded repre sentatives of tho nobility of the old world found happiness, a vastly larger number found fnllure to be their por tion. Tho honeymoon trail of these Internationalists shows many ship wrecks. As a rule tho representative of tho nobility seeks n mate among tho wealthy who have unsatisfied so cial nmbltlons. Given these condi tions, tho chance for presentation at court, the glamour of a title, the ex cluslveness of social relations with tho titled great, cause ninny n young woman to forget prudence and hnve made many fathers and mothers will ing to approve n heavy bet on a slim chance. The long string of women who have come back across tho Atlantic broken henrted and slim of purse since Nel lie Grant made her unhappy alliance has taught little wisdom to those who lire courted by tho titled but otttlmes penniless nobility.

North Platte, Neb. 411 Locust St. (CopyrlKht. UJO. WeMrrn N.wspftfttr Union.) , Mr. Trenton sat mi tho porch and j tapped an Impatient foot. All "the days of her sou's life" she lint) dread- ' cd his marriage, that tliua which must, come to separate him from l;or. For Mrs. Trenton-In her Jealous 'Irivo felt she could brook no sharing. Then when, with Roger's manhood, she realized his compelling power and knew that he would seek his own, she set nbout eagerly forestalling him In the search that hh future mate might bo acceptable to herself. Mr. Tren ton was proud of her housekeeping ability Roger's wife should bo a good housekeeper. Mrs. Trenton had been raised In a sensible, snvlng family Roger's wife must be liith ecntiomlcnl nnd matter-of-fact. Ills mother had, ns nhe herself would express It. "no patience with modern frivolity." And near at hand she found tho object of her search. Roger would, no doubt, show n young man's appreciation of a pretty face, so Ruth was good and sweet to look upon. Ruth had been for years n neighbor. Mrs. Trenton knew the girl's llfp nlmost ns one reads a book, her well executed house hold disks; her simple plensures Mrs. Trenton knew them nil, and approved, Ruth was evidently agreeable, to the union plnnned for her. Though this purpose was not openly acknowledged, the girl smiled and Hushed at the many references as to how "Roger admired" this or that, quality of her own. And If Ruth possessed a deeper and less open nature than the mother guessed, It was not revealed. Roger's last letter had come n crushing blow; but the mother was not yet van quished, lie admitted his love for a "beautiful girl," whom he bad met at n society musical In the city. Roger's mother had gone before him lo the country cottage which was their sun? mer home. The photo he enclosed of tho benutlful girl verified even a lover's statement. She ,vns a lovely creature, charming In fnee and figure as a favorite of the screen. The gown the girl wore expressed ns openly her Hocln) tastes. She would Invite Ruth o the summer cottage for a visit, and she would urge Roger to bring his Roberta. In his letter he confessed the Intention of asking Roberta to marry him. Mrs. Trenton begged thnt Jie postpone this Intention, until nfter Miss Robins' visit, when all would be better acquainted. She had visions of the society favorite, bereft of her glamor, lu the morning kitchen of the summer cottage. Roger would be aware there of her uselessncss and vanished charm, compared to Ruth. "It Isn't exactly dollghtful," Ruth crossly confided, "to stand over a stove frying crullers for an Idle stranger." Mrs. Trenton nodded understandlng- iy. "I've thought of another plan," she said, "to bring Roger to his senses. You must go awny tomorrow, Ruth, nnd I " she leaned forwnrd "I'm going to develop a sprained ankle. There'll bo no one to cook or do n necessary thing In this house, but the butterfly. You see how it's going to come out?" "I see," said Ruth; she smiled shrewdly and departed. Roger was. concerned, upon the fol lowing morning, over his mother's bnndaged ankle. "You mustn't move," he ordered; "I'll go and get Ilnnnnh Hastings to do tho work." "Hannah Hastings t" ills mother gasped. She bad forgotten nbout Hannah, the general helper. "Her rheumatism has been pretty bad lately," she suggested. Hut Rdgor waved tho objection aside. "Ilnnnnh can get around tho stove nt least," ho said, "she's a born cook. I'll carry up all your meals" and he did. Ho was so hnppy about It that Mrs. Trenton felt she had ac complished little In removing not only the rival, but tho chaperone ns well. "Robby" paid her bright little visits every tiny, and sang with Roger seated nt her sldo each evening nt tho plnno. Old Hannah's cooking was everything thnt could bo desired. Mrs. Trenton wondorcd nt the elovorness wlth.whlch-sho devised new delicacies for Jier tray. And as tho affair of Ruth promised nt this rate no progres sion, the mother recovered promptly from hor sprained ankle, one sunshiny morning, and mndo her way down tho stairs. Laughter came from tha kitchen, and Mrs. Trenton, peering through the door, saw thero a surprising sight. Roger, seated up on u table, was whistling merrily to the time of.n spinning egg hentor, while Miss Roberta Robins, novor prettier In her life, with an envelop ing white npron over hor dainty frock, wus at that moment drawing a pan of fragrant cookies from the oven. "Where," stammered Mrs. Trenton "Is Ilnnnuli?" "Couldn't conio the day I went rtftor her," Roger ropllod. "Robby's boon doing It nil. Gmitest little cook evor. Walt till you t a peep Into your liv ing room. She' done all your muslin curtiilua fnwh, Hud put 'em up again. Wo were making a now surprise for your tray." Robortn rushed forward. . 4 "You, ttusn't stand." she cried, anx ious far tho lnme nnklq. "Itogsr," Mrs. Trenton asked meek ly, "wheh are you and Hobby going to bo Hinrriwir "Were, before we ceuie out here," m sou attccluetly replied, nnd went ! on spinning the egg beater. wring Power v depends quite ns much on correct lubrication as on suitable fuel. It is quick, complete combustion that generates power in a motor; but it is lubricating oil that supplies the seal which insures full compression of the fuel charge and which holds the explosive gases behind the pistons and makes them work. Polarine does this effectively and more. Be tween engaging prtrts and in bearings it maintains a protective oil cushion that insures quiet, smooth operation with minimum vibration, wear and strain. Keeps motors fit the year round and makes overhauling and repair bills small.
