NOVELIST HAD HIS REVENGE
Dumas Worked With Subtlety, but
. W8tlifled That It Would Be '
I 'Thoroughly Complete. ",,
When, Alexandre Dumas, the French
novelist, was a young 1 man, he was
' grievously Insulted by a man whom he .
had regarded as his friend.' '
' Everyone expected him to punish the
offender severely, but Instead he began
looking upon him with more consider
ation and apparent friendliness than
he had ever shown before.
1 At length, three yenrs later, when
the erstwhile friend was: to be married,
the novelist was asked td serve as best
man, and did so. When the ceremony
was over and the guests were leaving
someone remarked to Dumas: "I have
often, wondered at your kindness to
this man. Surely yours Is a remark
ably forgiving nature, for although he
insulted you grossly, you have assidu
ously studied his hnpplncss ever since,
and even assisted him In getting mar
ried." "Quite right I" answered Dumas. "I,
flatter myself that I have given the
fellow the most furious and lyjix-eyed
mother-in-law to be found In France I"
Making New Words.
Wo're going to help the dictionary'
makers with a couple of suggestions.
Here are two words wo huve thunk up
without the nld of mechanical appli
ances or paraphernalia whatever,
without even brains.
Plscapalate A taste for fish ; for In
stance, the fellow has ono who loves
shad so much that he Is willing to
spend half an hour taking bones out of
his teeth Just so to cat ono slab of
fish.
Strenulst here Is now "strenulty,",
therefore, why not strenuist, one who
strens? The strenulst Is one who gets
up before any one else and stnrts In
doing n lot of unnecessary things real
hard, lust to make dust fly. Ue bores,
you to death telling you about It, so he
should be separated from the common
herd. V
We'd like to have some more new
words. If you've coined any, pass 'em
along, please. The language Is in
danger and needs help I Richmond
Tlmes-Dlspntch.
One Quart of Milk. '
Doctor Rosenow of Ilnrvard univer
sity says that the actual food value of
one quart of milk Is equal to three
quarter pound of beef, two pounds of
chicken, eight eggs, or two pounds of
codfish. Each of these costs more, to
' any nothing of the time, labor and fuel
required In preparation. A glass of
milk costs only 8 3-4 cents in Convnllls
today. The food value of that glass of
milk Is equal to two large eggs, or n
large . serving of lean meat, or two
moderate-sized potatoes, or Ave talile
spoonfula of cooked cereal, or two ta
blespoonfula of cooked rice, or two
; slices of bread. In other words, a meal
consisting of one glass of milk and two
slices of bread gives you as much food
value as you would got out of four
eggs.
Too Much of a Good Thing.
'I didn't much care about the way
Josh's clothes looked down to camp,"
commented Fnrmer Corntossel. t .
"Hnsn't ho his regular uniform?"
"Not yet. If thoy'ro going to keep
him dressed that way In hopes of de
ceiving the enemy luto thinking he's
Just an obscure peasant or something,
what I say Is that It's carrying this
new kermoofllng too far I"
Behind the Lines.
Last Sunday I attended church serv
ice. The padre, during his sermon,
told the boys that for every sin they
committed they owed a certain amount
to Ood. When I was leaving I heard
Tommy remark:
"That settles It. I'll hate to give up
my pass to I. . I can't afford to go
for I owe too darned much to Uod si
ready." Second-ln-Commund.

RECORD ARMY BILL :
PASSED BY SENATE
Washington. Carrying. . appropria
tions of more than twelve billion dot
lars for the prosecution of the war and
conferring authority on the president
to raise as large an army as may- be
necessary to Insure final victory, the
senate Saturday passed the army ap
propriation blllj There was not an
opposipg vote. . - - . r ...
Dozens of amendments, some of
largo Importance, but most of them of
a minor character, were sought to be
added to-the bill during the last day
of Us consideration and moat of them
were accepted - without objections.
Others were rejected , by vote and
jsome were thrown out on points of
order. The numerous amendments to
the bill as It. came from the honso
makes it necessary for It. to go; to
conference.
". An important amendment added to
the bill authorizes the president to
raiBe a Russian legion, In the United
States to be composed of f rlondly
aliens of that nationality. ,
Another amendment authorizes the
training In this country of soldiers of
other countrios, particularly of Cen
tral and South America, and the war
department is authorized to equip the
men for service overseas. This Is
regarded as paving the way for active
participation in the war by the south
ern republics. '
INCREASE IN HOURS VETOED
President Kills Attempt to Make' Gov
ernment Clerks, Work Longer.
Washington. President Wilson ve
toed the legislative, executive and ju
dicial appropriation bill, on account
of a provision increasing the hours of
work for government clerks from
seven to eight hours per day.
. . In his veto message, tbe president
said since, at the outBet of the war he
had called upon all employes to see.
that there was no change In condi
tions unfavorable to laborers, be did
hot feel justified in assenting to a
measure in which the United Slates
itself makes such a change.
Wilson Asks For Control of Telegraph.

and operation of the nation's telegraph
and telephone systems was recom
mended to congress by President Wil

will be made to put through before
the recess of congress this week pend
ing legislation empowering the presi
dent to take over the systems. .

It Is the oft repeated story,
Wlien People of Union ,Cmity
want PHntlng that la .hardi' to
execute, when they want a job
ot work done ; tlmt require
' skill, . workmanship, '-A careful :
, plnunliiK and earnest applka
l!ou, they fiiuilly come to the
Oliserver's Job Printing Depart
ment. , '.
This office does the work, .
. but lit, nl candor, that Is the
class of work nMn which there
la little profit, and frequently
some loss, becanse of the Intrl
" cnle nature and tlme-absorhlnc
features of such Jobs.
-V V 'v '
' For Instance,, uhon a Tele
Iihnne Directory la to print or

.. Job Irlntlng Department is the
only office in the county equip
pod with, machinery, type and
l pi Intern to get out the work,
, Union county must have and
maintain such a printing office,
tlmt can do the techlncnl, hbtll
. clnss work when it Is wanted.
But-
We resiectfnlly call your at- -tontlnn
, to the smaller work",
which we are abundantly equip
ped to do and which shouldi to
a certain extent at least, go to
the office that maintains a plant
capable-of doing tbe hard class
of work. In the smaller work
there Is n profit and we respect
fully, cnll upon business firms
possessing home pride who
know upon reflection, that in
' order to keep a big plant run
nlng It must have all clauses of
printing. Do not send us your
technical, hard' printing, that
can not be done by anyone elso
ln tho county,- nnd then send
your smaller work elsewhere, It
IS NOT FAIR. When It conies
to prices on smaller work. It
stands tn reason that this shop
run nioro than coniieto wild
nny other concern, for we keep
n regular force of journeymen
printers and pressman and pay ,
these men nlmvo tho Union
scnlc of wages.
' If yiiu are a believer In well
paid labor and want tn uphold
anr.li principles, send your Jon
printing to this office, where it

sible cost to you, and at the
