NEW IDEA OF MOTHER-IN-LAW
Possibly This Is One of the Arranger
mente That Would Do Away With .
' Old Problem. '
"John Blank has just been telling
me of his trouble at home." said the
lean man, as be settled back la the
car'seat beside' an acquaintance. '4
guess be tells pretty near everybody,
so I'm not letting the cat out of the
bag by speaking of It"
"Oh, yea," murmured the friend,
"his mother and bis wife don't get
along together, and Blank Is between
the devil and the deep sea. Say
when do you think this weather will'
letup?" ' i
"Dunno," replied ths lean man.
"But say I don't see why there's got
to be so much mother-in-law trouble.
Now you tako my family. Mother Is
dependent on me and she lives with
us. According to most people, that
would spell sure trouble. But 'In our
case It hasn't worked out that way."
'Tour mother and your wife are
both fine women," commented the
friend. ,
"I guess that's it, agreed the lean
man. "You see, I drftn't marry till
middle age, and mother and I lived
together alone up to that time.
"Then I met Florence. She was a
successful business woman. It takes
a lot of 'good hard sense to be that,
and she had it. Well, we married,,
and she came right into my home,
with mother welcoming her as ' a
daughter.
P"Now, what did my mother 'do?
Did she sit back and sulk, or did she
get up and assert her supremacy
"She did not. She held a business
session with my wife, made a state
ment of assets and liabilities, as you
might say, turned the business over
to my wife, declared she was willing
to be a consulting partner if neces
sary, but that It was her intention
and earnest desire to be relieved of,
responsibilities and take a rest. '
"It's, working out beautifully. My
wife Is the manager of the household.
I believe that ,sho and mother have-
a sort of directors' meeting once In
awhile, but mother has refrained from.
giving any advice that wasn't askei.
and has never Insisted upon the car
rying out of the advice she has given.
Sue is a pleasant and honored mem
ber of our family. In times of need
she has thrown herself into the work
without saving herself, and we own
at least one of our children's lives to
her care." Edna K. Wooley i tha
Jersey Lily Films.
The ancient Jorsnv t.Mv tha Tilt,
Langtry of the old play bills, now
Lady de Bathe. Is actine for a. snrlna
of film productions to be presented by
Daniel Frohman. The lady Is report
ed as'saylng, "to be enrolled in the
tamous players' gallery of artists is
a distinction that will survive myself.
Through its power of perpetuity I am
Immortal I am a film!" Among the
stories of the frolicsome Lily that are
recalled is one connected with a jolly
champagne party, when the prince of
Wales, afterward King Edward VII.,
then deucedly sweet on the Lily, sat
at the head of the table, and where
she so far forgot princely dignity as
to pour a handful of cracked ice be
tween Edward's brikbone and his
shirt collar. This 1 1 once produced a
coldnoBs between friends, and from
that time on the Lily and the prince
met as strangers. '

When Is a Boat Not a Boat?
Harbor officials are In a quandary
over tnis question: "When is a boat
not a boat?" It all comes about
through the popularity of the hydro
aeroplane1, and ao far there is no one
connected with the government serv
ice who seems to be abel to answer it,
The officials whose duties Include the
enforcement of the harbor regulations
maintain that It is a boat and as such
comes under the regulations governing
power boats and therefore must com
ply with the laws by carrying the stip
ulated equipment of signal horn, lights,
life preservers, etc. On the other hand,
the officials of the Aero Club of Ameri
ca as stoutly maintain that it is not a
boat but an aeroplane, and tor proof
point to the fact that it must have
Aero club sanction to participate in
competitive events and that its pilots
must operate under an aviator's li
cense, just as though it had only
wheels Instead of a hull for water ma
neuvering. Even the tentative court
of last resort the American Power
Boat association, : confesses itself
"stumped." -
United States Leads In Cotton.
After many years of earnest en
deavor on tho part of various govern
ments and organisations of manufac
turers and others interested in the cot
ton Industry or Europe to widen the
cotton fields of the old world, the
United States continues to produce
from 60 to 85 per cont of all the cot
ton grown. This country, Egypt and
India account for about 85 per cent, of
the world's supply, and with . China
and Russia added, fully A6 per cent.
The or 5 per cent, grown under the
Russian flag Is chiefly the product ot
Turkostan, In Central Asia.
Couldn't Call It Stealing.
' "Whether you believe or' don't be
lieve In the tariff, you'll admit that we'd
have fewer multimillionaires If we'd
never had high protection."
The speaker, Representative Aber-
crombie, lighted a cigar and resumed:
"This sort of thing reminds me, just
a little bit, of old Calhoun Clay.
'"Is this your first theft, Cal?' the
old man's mistress asked, After she
had caught him walking off with a
bottle of beer. .
" 'Yas'm,' Cal replied. 'Tas'm. I
reckon dtsh-yere's man fust theft
mum.'
" 'Now, Cal, be careful,' said the
mistress, smiling, for Bhe liked the old
man well. 'Didn't you sometimes use
to take a chicken from the "ole massa"
wheu you were a young fellow down
south?"
" 'Why, yas'm, mebbe I did take jes'
one chicken;' Cal agreed. 'But dat
wa'n't no stealtn', mum. Dat wus jes'
prop'ty takln' prop'ly to suppo't prop'
ty.' "Washington Star.
Passing It On.
"I'm not one of these fellows who
kisses and tells," said the summer
man.
"Oh, I don't mind yosr mentioning it
to any nice friend ot yours who are
coming down to the beach," said the
summer girl.
Logical Results. .
"Boss," complained the famous
twlrler, ' I'm all run down!"
"I don't wonder," sharply answered
the manager ot the team. "You've
been trying to save your arm by pitch
ing without winding up."
Cough Medicine for Children.

harmful drug. For sale ty all dealers'.
