Jim Thorpe, the Indian, now u member t tile (Jiants, is a grat bid. but lias original and aboriginal ideas, says Expert W. A. Phi'lan. A correspondent who went to the Olympic games says that Thorpe once invited him out rrauj evening, but nev er got jh: chance again. "We were in": 'aria." says he. "and a lot of athletes and scribes were lolling in the hotel when Thorpe came in and asked us to go with hiin. Said he had found a place where we could have more fun than any otber place he ever saw. So we trotted along, and Thorpe led us to n joint under the shadow of Montmartre. a regular bat cave, full of hard ! looking Apaches. 'Where's the j fun here. Jim?' I queried. Thorpe 4 grinned a foot wide. "Big lots fun.' said he. 'Here last night Had to lick seven Frenchmen. Maybe so we get fine fight to night All we need do just go in, act noisy, have elegant fight : Come along!' " . , By M. QUAD Copyright. 1012, by Associated, Lit erary Press: "No; 1 baiiu't heard about Joe Tav lor's cow getting mired in the huckle- i berry swamp," replied Cncle Abnei Shorts as some one in the crowd at the postoflice put the question, "but I've beard sadder news that that today-yes, a good deal sadder. Js it Hint any. -one we all know is dead? .No, but perhaps it was better for him if lie was dead. I don't want to keep you in suspense, and 1 will therefore say that George Green got married to day for the .swond time. "I hain't looking for anybody to be shocked dead at the news. It has jest set me to thinking and aroused a heap of recollections. You all know that 1 lost my wife three years ago,. and aft er a year 1 married again and am now living with No. 2. I reckon it's also purty well known that No. 2 bosses the roost. ' "There was folks in this village, gen tlemen, who said that I'd grieve my self to death over my loss, anu there were others who said I'd be snooping around after No. 2 within a year. As I for me, I felt that I was wasting away and was powerfully surprised one day to find myself eating heartily ot a boiled dinner. From that time I began to pick up, but for months after ward 1 hud no more thoughts of mar rying ag'in than Lemuel Goodheart has of puttiug his foot ag'in a hot stove. It seemed to me that the man who lost such an augel of a wife as 1 had de served to be shot for thinking of mar rying ag'in. "Jest when the idea hit me that I'd better look arounS a little for another woman I can't say. I think it was after I'd cooked my own meals, made my own bed, sewed on my own buttons and washed my own shirts for seven or eight months. Then the feeling stole over uie that there was room in the house for another. It sorter skeer ed me at first, but I'm saying that it's a feeling you can get used to in a day or two. . As soon as 1 began to won der if I really ought to marry ag'in I found myself advancing a dozen rea sons why 1 should. "Well, it hain't no secret that 1 look ed around and found the Widder Glenn. She might have been looking around at the same time, but I'm not going to say that siich is the case. At first it was a question with me whether a widower could love for the second time. Within a week after I had hit the widder's trail that question was settled in the atlirmative. 1 found my self a heap more in love than on the first occasion. All of you was kind enough to say that 1-made a durned tool of myself, and, though 1 couldn't see it then. I'm admitting most of it now. "Gentlemen, 1 was two long months hesitating over asking the widder to lie mine, and yet the rest of you was saying that sl-ed jump at the chance. Mebbe you V'is right. 1 know that when 1 finally -Jiauaged to get up the courage I hiul"v t hardly got my mouth open before su; says yes. "And. now cvines the real p'int. I'd been boss of the house, same as all of you are boss of yours. Wasn't it nat eral for me to seep right on bossing? Had the thought of surrendering the reins of gove1 iwieut occurred to me? Is a man and a husband to be treated like a child o a slave? At the first go-off ber bossing was a novelty, and 1 rather liked it and encouraged it. 1 was still in lo'"e, you see. After about a month the novelty wore off, and 1 began to assirt myself. I took the bossing businiss into my own hands. What follere"? Why, that wife got right up on Tier hind legs and made the air blue 1-tr forty rods around. She got out ten words to my one. When 1 took her by the ear to sit her down and hush her up she lit into my hair and pulled it 70t by handfuls. "Gentlemen, who bosses the roost? Mrs. Shorts: "Who handles the cash? Mrs. Shorts! "Who tells me when I can go and when I shall come? Mrs. Shorts! "Who gives me liberty to draw my breath? Mrs. Shorts! "I'm only telling you what you all know and what is the gossip of the town. She made up her mind "when she became No. 2 that she'd be the boss, and she's carried it out. That's the way with all No. 2's. No. 1 knuck les down and lets you do the bossing and thinks it's all right, but No. 2 is no such chicken. She intended to get the whip hand when she married you. and she's going to keep it or raise such a row that you'll wish you was in your grave. "Understand, gentlemen," that I'm saving nothins agin Mrs. Shorts. ! Vtm'c filior'ii oUlr Ci T f'A lint ciifll pickled peaches as she does put up! And apple sass--it makes yon grin from your neck to your heels! Just one of the nicest women in the eoun iry. and I hope that she'll outlive me by twenty years, but I have had to use ! her as an illustration. She married nie to be boss, and she is boss, same as all the other No. 2's. I hain't ex actly saying that the man who loses No. 1 shouldn't look for a No. 2, but I'm saying that if he does he ought to know what's coming to him and what he'll be sure to get. I've fit agin it and fit and fit but it's no go. To night she sends me down here after a gallon of ile and snys I can stay just forty minutes. Them forty is so mighty nigh up that I've got to get a hump on me and run all the way home, and even then Mn. Shorts may be standing there Tith a club to hit me when I jump through the gate." Julius Caesar, The almost unanimous verdict of an cient and modern times is to the effect that Julius Caesar was what Shake speare calls him, "The foremost man of all this world." Never before or since has any one exhibited in so high a de gree all the qualities of a born ruler oi men. And never had any man a grand er role to play. To preside over the most important crisis in the history of the most important branch of the hu roan race was a task that none but the greatest of men could successfully per form. Caesar, swept one obstacle after another aside and stood at last where h; meant to stand. New York American.

When Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont was asked recently whether she really had said that girls would be better off if they did not marry before they were twenty-five she answered without a moment's hesitation: "If they took my advice they would wait until they were even older than that. And I do not mean that counsel for working girls only. I believe that if women did not marry under thirty there would be fewer divorces' than there are now. "Men are not at all-the fairy princes that young girls think them. And girls are by no means the angels men imag ine them to be until they learn better. If both men and women married later they would know themselves and each other far better than they do as mere girls and boys, and there "would be fewer tragic disenchantments." : Rubber Tips For Hatpins.

To wear hatpins with exposed points is now a misdemeanor in Sweden, and women without the tips will be com pelled to obtain them from the street car men at a cost of 1 cent each.

When making desserts allow one heaping tablespoonful of granulated sugar to each egg and a half pint of milk. Always in cooking vegetables start them in boiling water. A teaspoouful of salt to each two quarts of water is the allowance. For an appetizing salad mince a cou ple of green peppers, mix them with three tablespoonfuls of chopped chives and serve on white lettuce leaves with French dressing. Shredded retT cabbage and white cel ery cut fine mnke a very popular salad. Sprinkle the top of the salad with a tablespoonful of minced onion and dress with oil and vinegar. When cooking ketchup, jelly, etc., try putting a few marbles in the kettle to prevent burning. The heat will keep the marbles rolling and thus prevent the ketchup, etc., from sticking to the kettle. When roasting a fowl in a gas stove put three tablespoonfuls of water into the meat tin at the bottom of the stove. You will find the steam wiii make the bird teuder and obviate the necessity for continually basting it. Sufficient Unto Herself. This is from a reader who knows the little girl. The litiie girl's mother was down stairs frying doughnuts, and the littlt girl, aged five, was playing near. The grandmother, who was upstairs, called down. "Do you need any help?" The mother, busy with the fork in hand over the sizzling receptacle, fear ing the grandmother could not hear hei reply, said to the little girl, "Go to the stairs and say. 'I'm sufficient unto my self.'" .... So the little girl ran to the stairs and called up, "Gran'ma, mother says she's fishin' .. 'em out herself!"

Fifteen cents a pound is being freely offered for con tracts on the coming Oregon crop. The sales of the contracts during the last 10 days have been unusually fav orable. At the present time there is prac tically nothing pressing in the spot hop trade. This is expected and the belief of the trade is that little bus iness will cloL3 until around the mid dle of the month, similar to that shown last month. Then buying was principally between dealers with only a sprinkling of sales by growers. Dealers' holdings -at this time are nominal, therefore, if there is any movement in spots in the immediate future, they must be secured from the producers. The latter are generally firm in their views and are holding for firmer prices, which dealers are at present unable to offer. Conditions in the hop market throughout the world are rather quiet at this time owing to the sr-allness of holdings and the tight prices that holders are asking. This has been the cheapest hop market in the world and for that reason alone the bulk of the business- has passed in this ter ritory recently. Now with the ideas of Oregon holders uniform with tfiose of other sections it is quite possible that the business will be split up somewhat and make it appear as if there was only a nominal amount of trade passing.
