Why does Great Britian buy
its oatmeal of us
Certainly it seems like carrying
coals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britian and
Europe
The reason is simple while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically and active
mentally of all people the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re
ports on Quaker Oats This brand is
recognized as without a rival in clean
liness and delicious flavor 51

A COMEDIANS TRICK
Ruse by Which Ht Escaped Arrest
and Had Hi3 Debts Paid
Many amusing stories are told of Joe
flames a comedian of the time of
Charles II sometimes called Count
Haines II is srald that he was arrest
ed one mornirg by two bailiffs cr a
debt of 20 when he saw a bshn to
whom he was related pasi ah g in
his coach With ready rcrjuu he im
mediately saw a loophole for escape
and turning to the men he said Let
me speak to his lordship to whom I
am well known and he will pay the
debt and your charges into the bar
gain
The bailiffs thought they might ven
ture th as they wore within two or
th ie yard of the coach and acceded
to tho request Joe boldly advanced
and took off his hat to the bishop His
lordship ordered the coach to stop
when Joe whispered to the divine that
the two men were suffering from such
scruples of conscience that he feared
the- would hang themselves suggest
ing that his lordship should invite
them to his house and promise to sat
isfy them The bishop agivid Mid
calling to the bailiffs he said You
two men come to me tomorrow morn
ing and I will satisfy you
The men bowed and went away
pleased and early the next day wait
ed on his lordship who when they
were ushered in said Well my men
wnat are tuese scruples of con
science
Scruples replied one of them
We have no scruples We are bai
liffs my lord who yesterday arrested
your cousin Joe Haines for a debt of
20 and your lordship kindly promised
to satisfy us
The trick was strange but the re
sult was stranger for his lordship
either appreciating its cleverness or
considering himself bound by the
promise he had unintentionally given
there and then settled with the men in
full

A CHINESE SOLOMON
Decision In a Case of a Vomi
With Two Husbands
There was a Chinese judge named
Wang who was as wise as Solomon
Before Wang two men and a woman
appeared The older man was the wo
mans first husband lie had gone to
the -wars and been reported dead Now
he returned alive to claim his wife
But she meanwhile had married the
younger man who refused to give her
up hence all three came before Wang
that he might decide this Aruly difficult
case
Yang Ki said the judge to the wo
man which of these two men made
the better husband
Both were perfect husbands my
lord judge Yang Ki modestly replied
So the judge told the men tht lie
would keep the woman by him for a
week examining her thoroughly and
a -week hence he -would decide the
case Well the week passed and the
two husbands came once more before
tho judge lie shook his head gravely
and said to them
The woman Yang Ki has died
There is no case Let her original hus
band take the body away from my
house and pay for the burial
Ho not I said the original hus
band And so saying he darted from
the court and was soon lost to view
You then said the judge to the
other man must stand these burial
expenses
Yes the man answered that is
just and I will give this woman who
was good and kind the finest burial
my purse will allow
The judge clapped his hands Yanu
Ki blushing and smiling entered the
courtroom in a rich dress of gold bro
cade
Take her said the wise judge for
you and not the other merit her love
and service
How the Rash Comes

Diplomatic Politeness
There are two kinds of politeness
politeness to yourself and politeness to
others
AYhen you come home late at night
for example even if you are very
tired always remove you hat and coat
before getting into bed It is little
attentions like this that constitute you
a gentleman At the same time do
not disturb your wife if you can pos
sibly avoid it It is the height of
rudeness to awakeu a sleeping lady

The Story of a Shipwreck in the
English Channel
FIZRCE FURY OF THE STORM
Wind and Wave Battered the Ship
Till Only a Shattered Hulk Re
mained A Battle Against the Ele
ments That Ended In Defeat
We had weathered the western is
lands and entered latitudes where the
prudent mariner shortens sail and
keeps a wary eye on the barometer
for the seafarer may talk lightly of
mountainous seas off the Horn but not
of a winter gale in the mouth of the
English channel when the coast is
strewn with wreckage from the Lizard
to Beachy aid his imagination accus
torcd in vast expanses of lonely sea
pictures all sorts of craft jostling one
another in dangerous proximity
A favoring gale from the northwest
not more vicious than the ordinary
north Atlantic gale had kept the ship
lively all day and set all hands figur
ing on pay day It was not until the
afternoon watch that the weather out
look became really threatening Moun
tainous walls of green water swung
out of the darkness and buffeted her
aside as they passed Fierce squalls
smote her in rapid succession envelop
ing her in a smother of spray heeling
her until the yardarms dipped in the
crests of the waves
At eight bells the wind lulled and
hauled a point to the westward then
hurled itself against the ship with ac
cumulated fury There was a sudden
confusion of flying cordage over
whelming seas hammering upon the
decks and the cannonade of canvas
stripped from the spars and blown like
thistledown to leeward
Relieved of her top hamper she stag
gered erect dripping like a half tide
rock and shaken with the shock of the
seas pounding her sides Halfway on
the upward oscillation she poised
checked by the renewed onslaught of
the gale as if by the impact of a mate
rial obstacle Rags of canvas stream
ed from her empty yards Every wire
of her rigging twanged and stretched
under the strain
The deck round the mainmast heav
ed and was starred with white fissures
running along its well oiled planks
The heavy steel spar dimpled on one
side then buckled and crashed over
board in a tangle of wreckage
The ends of severed wire whipped
the air and twisted shrouds sawed to
and fro along the ruined bulwarks and
struck showers of sparks from the tor
tured iron work The hatch covers
were stripped from their coverings
boats smashed to firewood Mid all the
intricate superstructure of the vessel
swept and broken Shouted orders
were blown back inaudible to the men
cowering under the break of the poop
and useless if audible
What seamanship could contrive was
done Men worked for their lives find
ing a foothold on the sea swept deck
hacking the jagged ends of iron wire
But the day of cutting wreckage adrift
is gone with wooden spars and hemp
en cordage Although the plates gaped
and rivets started the heavy spar held
fast alongside pounding against the
iron hull as she rolled in that trough
of the sea
A couple of spare spars were lashed
together and launched with infinite
danger through the gap in the broken
bulwarks But no improvised sea an
chor could hold her to windward amid
the tumult of such a sea She was
no longer a ship but a ruined fabric
crushed and sagging to leeward under
the weight of the elements
Morning brought an abatement of
the fury of the gale Standing on the
poop surveying her shattered hulk
her skipper turned quietly to his mate
and asked Is the port lifeboat sea
worthy
Carpenter reports that it is sir re
plied his subordinate
The skipper stood for awhile in si
lence uoting the sluggish life of the
deck under his feet Suppose weve
got to leave her he said What dye
think
It is the sole occasion where the mas
ter mariner will deign to consult and
be advised by his inferior officer
She cant float much longer sir
replied the other sympathetically It
might be that in his time he too
would require to seek similar advice
Ah said the skipper heavily and
I saw her launched lie crossed over
to the teak fife rail and laid his hand
on it fondling it affectionately All
right mister he said at last Were
right in the track of shipping Pass
the word along to put a bag of biscuit
aboard and fill the breakers with wa

Charles Dickens once wrote to a
friend I have distinguished myself
in two respetls lately 1 took a young
lady unknown down to dinner and
talked to her about the bishop of Dur

Later I expatiated to the member for

wore enough to reduce the most bril

three Inside passengers of a London
bound coach who beguiled the tedium
of the journey from Southampton by
discussing the demerits of William
Cobbett until one of the party went so
far as to assert that the object of their
denunciation was a domestic tyrant
given to beating his wife
Much to his dismay the solitary wo
man passenger who had hitherto sat
a silent listener remarked
Pardon me sir A kinder husband

Mr Giles of Virginia and Judge Du
val of Maryland members of congress
during Washingtons administration
boarded at the house of a Mrs Gib
bon whose daughters were well on in
years and remarkable for talkative
ness
When Jefferson became president
Duval was comptroller of the treasury
and Giles a senator Meeting one day
in Washington they fell to chatting
over old times and the senator asked
the comptroller if he knew what had
become of that cackling old maid
Jenny Gibbon
She is Mrs Duval sir was the
unexpected reply
Giles did not attempt to mend mat
ters as a certain Mr Tuberville un
wisely did Happening to observe to
a fellow guest that the lady who had
sat at his right hand at dinner was the
ugliest woman he had ever beheld the
person addressed expressed his regret
that ho should think his wife so ill
looking
I have made a mistake said the
horrified Tuberville I meant the lady
who sat on my left
Well sir she is my sister
This brought the frank avowal It
cant be helped sir then for if what
you say be true I confess I never saw
such an ugly family in the course of

A SMALL WORD
It Has Only Two Letters Yet It
Is
Not Easy to Define
To define one word in the English
language one modern dictionary takes
eighteen columns of small type And
this solitary word upon which the dic
tionary bestows sucli a wealth of elu
cidation is one that hardly anybody
except a dictionary maker can define
at all The ordinary educated Eng
lish speaking persous knowledge of it
could be expressed in about half a sin
gle line
This fecund word is of If you
were asked to define it unless you
are a dictionary maker or of an allied
trade probably you would have to re
ply Of Why of just means of
You might add defensively I always
comprehend perfectly what it means
when I see or hear it and can use it
correctly in speech so what do I want
to define it for anyway
But if you were a child your actual
mastery of or would stand you in
no stead whatever You would be set
to digging out and memorizing the
things the dictionary had to say about
it or the driest and least informing
of them as for instance that in some
cases it is such a kind of preposition
and in other cases some other kind
and that prepositions have such and
such properties when they dont have
some other every bit of which you
would absolutely and forget
