It was a day previous to Mrs. Bowsers birthday. There had come into Mr. Bowsers otiice, a man, who gave his name as Mr. Gordon. He was a practical chemist, and was connected with a wholesale dug manufacturer. He wanted, to go In business for himself or with a partner who had money and energy, lie had heard ot Mr. Bowser and had called to talk business. One of me great money-maker- s for the drug bouse, was witchhazel. It returned over. 100 per cent profit. Mr. Gordon wanted to go into the fncture of witchhazel. It would make a couple of men millionaires In five years. The world was not half supplied. The liquid was a dollar a pint and still going up. He had a talk With Mr. Bowser for two long hours, and be satisfied him that the opportunity of his life had come to him. It all beat bookkeeping and to pieces. At' five oclock Mr. Bowser started home, as usual. He was placid and satisfied with the world. He looked around him at the stores and offices, and calculated that he could huy them ail, in two years. Two or three of his fellow passengers, on the car, stepped on his toes, a d the conductor took fifty cents froil him and forgot to make the change. Nothing irritated Mr. Bowser, however. He smiled, as he entered tl.e hull of his house, and that smile warned Mrs. Bowser that he had something up bis. sleeve. She sai-r entiling, however, and after he suddenly began:,,.,.

How nice It would be if I could have a flying machine waiting at the door for me! I could step right into the machine and start the motor and go sailing right over the houses, and land at tlie door of a store. If I had any packages to bring with m, dont you see how handy the machine would Poor Uncle Sam Has 0; Not by a darned sight.!" exploded Mr. Bowser. But vu must see that, with the witchhazel and my flying machine, we should be nicely fixed. If I fell out of my' machine and got bruised all over we would have the remedy right in the house to cure me. Remember, that is my birthday present, Mr. Bowser.

There is an increasing demand for it and it will probably go to a dollar and a half a pint. But what does all tills talk mean? asked Mrs. Bowser. It means, that I am going Into the manufacture of witchhazel. 1 have ai- - Nephews f to $300,000; 2,983 of $100,000 to $150.-0013,320 of $50,000 to $100,000; 37,477 of $25,000 to $50,000; 162,485. of $10,000 to $25,000 ; 438,851 of $5,000' to $10,000; 1,180,488 of $3,000 tol $5,000; 1,569,741 of $2,000 to $3,000,' j and 1,924,872 of $1,000 to $2,000.

Under the terms of this order no skeleton regiments will be maintained in the regular army, but the 150,000 men allowed by congress will be concentrated In fully manned, effective units, while surplus units will be out of commission placed and the surplus officers assigned to the organization and training of the National Guard and reserve corps. An examination of the statute,, says the Weeks order, shows that the new law la based on the idea that in the future, as in the past, great wars are to be fought, In the main, by armies composed of citizen soldiers. We still have the conception of a small regular army In time of peace. But whereas In the past the necessary citizen forces have been com Query: Does He Really Carry a Gun? after Braun.

The best of these experts, even those most enthusiastic and forward looking In their claims for aircraft, do not concede that the battleship, as the fighting bulldog of the sea, has been made obsolete, but they do Insist vigorously. that battleships, as the strong right arm of national defense, are going to be worse than handicapped unless they can be accompanied to sea with sufficient aircraft to drive off enemy bombing planes.
