DEWEY’S “OLYMPIA” AT THE SESQUI
Only Way Little Cray
Man Could Figure It
Home-Builder Gets Good
Investment Plus Comfort
The big blue car, driven by the big
red mao with the big black cigar, hur
tied round tbe turn at a dizzy clip.
The little gray car was meunderlnit
along Io the hands of the little gray
man, who glanced around ouly In l im e
to shrink from the menacing radiator
and a great wludshleld sticker which
bellowed g en ially:
“Howdy I H a lf the road's yours 1“
W ildly he spun the wheel, but too
late. W ith a neat, crunching *'swish"
the big blue car sliced off hla rear
wheel, mudguards and running boards
Tbe poor remains floundered crazily to
a dusty flop. The little gray man
crept forth, peering after the rapidly
vanishing Juggernaut.
Shading his
eyes, he made out another cordial
sticker which flaunted Its message of
cheer from the shining rear window.
This, too. beamed:
“ Howdy! H a lf the road's yours!'
The little gray man pondered as he
surveyed his machine. It locked like
a husted birdcage. At length he uod
ded, reassured.
“1 reckon," he observed slowly, “that-
1 was just on the wrong hulf."— Kan

It Is mentioned that the order of

some of the menbers mistook for that

OG prices In 1926, according to a market analysis by the Sears-Roebuck
Agricultural Foundation, have been the highest since 1920 and the num­
ber of hogs slaughtered nearly 20 per cent less than In 1924 nnd J9!J.'l, when
production wns nt a record level. With prices approximately 60 per cent
higher this year than last year, hog producers have had an especially profit­
able season. The range of prices has run from $10 to almost $14.50 per hun­
dred pounds, the peaks being reached In March, July and September.
The ratio between prices of hogs nnd corn prices turned favorably fop
the feeder last spring and Is now the best that It has been since 1922. Last
spring's pig crop In the corn hell, which Is now coming on the market, wns
estimated to he 19.0 per cent less than the pig crop of the spring of 1924. This
Indicates that rather high prices are likely to be maintained during most of
the 1920 season, unless a very large crop of hogs Is produced and pushed rap­
idly Into the markets. Excepting the months of January and February, re­
ceipts at the eleven leuding laurkels of the country have gone below the 075,-
(XX) level and from June to October have been below the 560,000 innrk.
H
Music Charm» Horses
Horses are particularly sensitive to
music, espeeiiilly m artial airs.
In
1892 a certain British regiment wa
milking a m ilitary test march. When
the music started a young horse, rid
den by a captain, hastened forward
and placed Itself In spite of its rider,
behind (he last rank of the musicians
Then It followed peacefully, giving
obvious signs of pleasure. When the
music ceased the captain wns able
to resume his place at tbe head of his
company. But when the hand struck
up again the horse galloped ahead, and
once more placed Itself behind the
muslcluns.
Origin of “Dunning”
Although some seek the origin of
"dun” In the French “donnex.” ( “to
give” ), and others In the Saxon word
“dunon," ("to clamor"). Its real origin
Is said to have been In tbe reign of
Henry V III. At thal time. In the town
of Lincoln, there lived a famous hall Iff
named Joe Dun. This man wns so sue
eessftil In the m atter of eollectln;
debts that It became usual to any
“Why don't you Dun hlniT" meaning
“Why don't you send Dun Io arrest
him J*' The use of the word “dun" In
this sense bus been In vogue since
that time.

Queen Victoria shares with George
Washington the tradition of never
having told a lie. She never prelend
ed to be what she was n o t; never In
trlgued j never practiced any of the
arts of a Macchlavelll, ns did Queen
Elizabeth. Queen Victoria steered
strulght course. Therefore she never
was brought to shame by any dis­
closures. “The blush of Siglsmund"
never colored her cheeks, for the very
good rputton that she never prevarl
caled or went hack on her promises
There were no light words In her vo
pabulary; no double meanings in her
phrases; no Intenl to deceive In her
thoughts. She had plenty of faults
but no baseness of mind. Therefore
her fame Is more secure than that of
hundreds of sovereigns who far sur
passed her in bruin power. — The

Origin of Buttercup,
According to Legend
The buttercup Is said Io have lie
name from the old belief that cow-
which had fed ou the flower gave the
best milk for butler making.
This Is obviously a fallacy, howcvei
— at leust, so fur us the early variety
known us the bulbous buttercup. Is
concerned—as cuttle, In consequence
of a bitter Juice which is supposed to
serve as a protection against animals,
leave the plant severely alone. In the
days when legends were woven uround
many of our flowers, the existence of
the buttercup was ascribed to eltln
vengeance on u miser. It happened
supposedly, in this way, says Mrs
Vivian Thompson:
The miser wus carrying n sack «1
gold across a Held, when fuirle.-,
stopped him and asked for alms, lie
refused, of course, and tbe mlscbiev
ous little folk then secretly cut a hole
In Ill s suck. As he walked on the
coins fell one by one to tbe ground,
and were thus scattered over the Held.
Under fairy influence they were liiinip
dlately transformed Into golden flow
ers we call buttercups.

Good M otto to Remember
There Is an old college In England,
built some centuries ngo. that has
carved over Its stone doorway W il­
liam of Wykehnm's famous motto, “Do
the next thin g!” No doubt of the gen
eratlona of young men who have
passed through the portal In the last
five hundred years, there have been
many Influenced by that optimistic
cheery old message, and remembering
It, have courageously turned away
from sorrows, failures, mistakes nnd
troubles to do the next best thing.
Wonderful
It being the telegrapher's twenty
fifth birthday, the office force pre
«ruled him with a hunch of twenty five
roses, for which he returned thunks.
Just then several people came In with
messages to send.
Grasping the rosea In his left hand
the operator Is-gHii to work the key
with his right.
“Ila is telegraphing Ihnae flowers,"

Not Much Haggling
Over Diamond Deals
A shabbily dressed man strolls down
a quiet street not a minute from Hut-
"ton Garden, London. He looks as If
he might be worth $25 all told, lie
stops by n public bouse and acknowl­
edges the casual greeting of a man lit­
tle better dressed than himself.
For iH-i'Iinps five minutes both are
absorbed in something the shabbier of
the two takes from a leather wallet.
Something changes hands and the two
part. It Is all over In live minutes.
What sort of business have they
been transacting? Mbrely a little deal
In diamonds. And how much was In-
volved? Around $5,tXX).
Stolen stones sometimes come Into
the Hatton Garden market. Rut woe
betide tbe crook who seeks to dispose
of well known stones there I Dealers
will have none of tilm.
Unset diamonds, necklaces, brace­
lets, brooches and rings all find their
I way to this unique mart. All deals
are for cash aud al, are quickly, si-
( leutly, and quite casually put through.
