grocery-house was talking of school-
day experiences Charlie was one of
“Peck’s bad boys” one of the unter-
rlfled village cut-ups when he went
to school In the '70s He admits that
he and most of his companions were
pretty hard to handle
"I went to school in Martinsburg In
1878” he said "Miss Bennett of Cal-
laway county now the wife of Speak-
er Clark was my teacher and believe
me she knew her business She was
the assistant teacher in the school
“There were four boys in Miss Ben-
nett’s class who were looked upon as
really tough As they used to say in
those days they were hard nuts to
crack but there wasn’t one of us that
ever frightened Miss Bennett Charlie

How Senator Williams Fought a Duel
COMPARATIVELY few seem to
know that old John Sharp Williams
once fought a duel
It was when John Sharp was over
In Germany attending Heidelberg uni-
versity Ho and a German student
sassed each other and the German
challenged him to co-operate with him
tn determining which one Bhould die
a premature death John Sharp Wil-
liams being the challenged party
had the choice of weapons His op-
ponent forgetting all about his being
an American supposed he would pick
eabers just as any German would
hut there was where John Sharp came
along with a neat little joke He
said they would flgnu with United
States army revolvers
The Idea of shooting at a man with
a Colt’s revolver two feet long was
new to German dueling and the na-
tive student was a wreck when the
morning arrived for them to kill off
one another John Sharp on the other
hand ate heartily of ham and eggs
as the saying Is and seemed perfect-
ly composed when they toed them-
selves up for the opening shot The
German with vibrant hand fired off
south by southeast of John Sharp
who purposely shot up toward a spot
about eight’ degrees to the left of the
zenith
And having thus speedily completed
the morning’s entertainment th® prin-
cipals shook hands and went their
Big Senator’s “Special for Three”
iF the proprietor of one of those
"Seeing Washington” outfits could
take tourists to see Ollle James eat
dinner he would make a great hit
James who Is representative and
Benator-elcct from Kentucky is the
largest man In public life and to see
him dredge Into a beefsteak is an In-
spiration The other day James drop-
ped into a Pennsylvania avenue res-
taurant and ordered a bite to eat
which he had a perfect right to do
He ordered without ostentation pomp
or pretense and had no thought of at-
tracting attention to his gastronomic
prowess But little groups of diners
began to collect near James’ table to
see what would happen
The ever present newspaper report-
er was Included in the anxious party
whose curiosity to learn what the big
one consumed in the way of food a"J

Strenuous Teacher
“In spelling we always occupied po-
sitions at the foot of the class' but I
remember that on one occasion we
spelled every word that came to us
and when the lesson was over we
stood one two three four right at
the head
“Then came the expose Bill Flck-
lin told Miss Bennett we had stealth-
ily looked at the book each time we
had to spell a word and that was why
we made such a high average j
“The fun began when school was
dismissed We set on Ficklln and
gave him a good licking The next
day we were brought before the court
with Miss Bennett as the presiding
judge I told her that we licked Fick-
lln because he tattled on us and to
give me the whipping and let the
other boys go (This was not special
heroism on my part I got a licking
every day anyway)
“The other boys with the exception
of Bill Powell put up a good talk
Powell refused to say a word This i
obstinacy aroused the simon-pure
lighting spirit In Miss Bennett who
turned the rest of us loose and start-
ed on Bill She gave him one of the
best ‘whalings’ he had ever had In his
life He didn’t awe her a bit She
had her dander up and Bill got the

respective way apparently undisturbed
Senator John Sharp Williams
whose absent-mindedness is notorious
Is also a keen student of practical
jokes
They were having a house party at
the Williams’ home here recently and
some of the young people asked the
senator to co-operate with them in
playing a merry trick on his son The
plan was to squirt a quantity of Ice
water over the transom on young Wil-
liams after he had retired for the
night As father and son were shar-
ing the same bedroom during the
house party the senator would get to
witness the result of the experiment
and he entered Into the spirit of the
prank with much zest He indicated
the bed occupied by his son and with
his own hands helped to rig up the
Ice water apparatus
About one o'clock that night a wild
snort of dismay from Senator Wil-
liams echoed and re-echoed through
the house
He had absent-mindedly gohe to
sleep In his son's bed
drink led them to become eavesdrop-
pers The giant senator apparently took
no notice of the assembled “rubber-
necks” neither did he look at the bill
of fare
“Bring me a steak” James told the
waiter and that was all the plans or
specifications for the steak that be
furnished The waiter seemed to un-
derstand Presently he returned with
an amplitudinous leviathan of a steak
that appeared on the scorecard as
"special for three”
That’s the kind of a steak that Ollie
James can masticate with much glee
provided there are enough side dishes
to whet his appetite
Do not get the impression either
that the colossal statesman from Ken-
tucky Is a glutton The kind of a
steak he eats is no more adequate
food supply for him than a couple of
lamb chops would be for the average
five-foot-ten work-a-day citizens
A million years or so from now
scientists with side whiskers will get
hold of the skeleton of Ollie James
and try to learn whether he lived be-
fore or after the mound builders But
they will never find out
for the Cardinal
bodices with high collars It Is prob-
able that Mrs Draper who Is one ot
the stanchest admirers of the cardinal
will Intimate to her women guests
thnt It will be In good taste to wear
afternoon gowns wbetber they ars
Catholics or Protestants
It has long boon the custom ol
women when attending a dinner 01
reception in honor of Cardinal Glt
bons to wear their most costly gowns
and Jewels and It will require soms
change In the fashion of dinner gowns
to conform to the new rule There
are so many prominent Catholic
women here bowever that there U
no fear but that every care will b
taken not to offend the churchmen

EUROPE’S ROYAL HOUSEWIFE
It would be hard to find a more capa-
ble housekeeper than the empress of
Germany
Her ideal is service: she has de-
voted her life to serving her country
her husband and her children She
believes that this Is woman’s highest
and only mission and that women are
happy as long as they keep to this
Ideal The empress has never inter-
fered in affairs of state and the daz-
zle of court life has meant little to
her But she has always found Joy
caring for the comforts of the emper-
or looking after her children and
managing her household
Jrhen the Kaiser calls for his wife
he finds her engrossed in the many
departments of her housekeeping lore
In which she is so proficient Though
Bhe does not go into the kitchen and
order her groceries and meats as do
her subjects the chief steward comes
to her study every morning and they
plan the menus for luncheon and dinner together She often suggests new
dishes and makes changes in the menus as they are presented For she keeps
many cook books In her study and is always on the lookout for new recipes
The empress does not believe in foolish extravagance In dressing any more
than In conducting her palace Though her tailored suits and her dinner
gowns are made outside she keeps a dressmaker busy all the year round re-
modeling her gowns and those for her daughter

the three Phulklan stutes of the Pun-
jab but as the Maharajah of Nublia Is
the direct descendant of Baba Phul
the great common ancestor of the
Phulklan chiefs therefore the rajahs

tale from the Neue Frele Preese about
the Rainer’s Immemorial antiquity
The Rainer is indeed terribly old

“When my little girl was about
eight months old she was taken with
a very irritating breaking out which
came on her face neck and back
When she first came down with it it
came in little watery-llke festers under
her eyes and on her chin then after
a few days it would dry down In scaly
white scabs In the daytime she was
quite worrysome and would dig and
scratch her face nearly all the time
“I consulted our physician and found
she was suffering from eczema which
he said came from her teething I
used the ointment he gave me and
wjthout any relief at all Then I
wiote for a book on Cuticura and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store I did as I
found directions in the Cuticura Book-
let and when she was one year old
she was entirely cured Now she is
three years and four months and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuticura
