FATIGUE AND ITS DANGERS. Generates a Poison That Passes Into the Circulation System. Fatigue is a danger signal: if per- sistently ignored, it may lead to many kinds of serious trouble. It is neces- sary to differentiate, however, be- tween what may be called normal tiredness and fatigue. Nye all get tired every day of our lives unless we are ehirkers.

I love new thins." Burke Denby frowned. "Buy it! Theta all right—if we' had the money ,to pay. Haven only knows bow much it'll cost. I don't." At nine o'clock the following morn- ing Mr. and Mrs. Burke Denby sal- lied forth to buy furniture for their "tenement," az Helen called it, until, her husband's annoyed remonstrances changed the word to "apartment." .1 Burke Denby leiumed many things, during the next few hours. He learn- ed first, that table and chairs and, beds and stoves—really decent ones that a fellow could endure the sight of—cost a rodi foes amount of money. But, to offset this, and to make Pete really worth the living, deer all, it seemed that one might buy a quantity sufflcient for one's needs, and pay for'them' in Metall-, meets, week by week. This- idea, while not wholly eatisfactory, seem- ed the only way f stretheing their limited means to cover their many needs; and, after some hesitation, it was adopted. There remained then only the mat- ter of ,selection; and it was just here1 that Burke Denby learned something else. He learned that two people,1 otherwise apparently in perfect ac- cords could disagree most violently, over the shape of a chair or the shade of a rug. Indeed, he would not have believed it possible that such elements of soul torture could lie in a mere matter of color or tex- ture. And how any one with eyes and sensibilities could. Ny!sh to select for one's daily companions each a mass of gingerbread decoration and glaring colors as seemed to meet the: fancy of his wife, he could not under- stand. Neither could he understand why, all his selections and prefer- ences were promptly dubbed "dingy" and "homely," nor why nothirig that he liked pleased her at all. As such was certainly the case, however, he came to express these prferenees less and less frequently. And in the end he always bought what she wanted, particularly as the price on her choice was nearly always lower than the one on his—which was an argu- ment in its favor that he found it hard to refute.

Are you ill?" So 'absorbed bad Burke Denby been over the part he himself was playing in this little drama' of Denby and Son, that he had gi-von no thought as to the probable looks or actions of any other member of the. east. He was quite unprepared, therefore, for the change in the, man he- now saw before him--athe pallor, the shrunken choker the' stooped sboul- dere, the unmistakable something that made the usually erect, debonair man look suddenly worn and old. "Dad, you are ell!" exelaiined Burke in dismay. John Denby got to his feet at ,once. He even smiled and held out his hand. Yet Burke, who took the hand, felt suddenly that there were, uncounted miles of space between them. "Ah, Burke, how are you? No, I'm not ill at all.

Mr. Taft an ex -President of the U.S.A., is mentioned as President Wil- son's successor at the board of the Peace Conference. Ile is probably the stoutest man in public life; at any rate, the stoutest man with an inter- national reputation. Fat and fame have not very often been combined, perhaps because stout men are generally inclined to be easy- going, and theretore lacking in that push which brings a man to the fore. The only great statesman one can re., call who was really a fat man was Charles Samos Fox, as can bo seen even by his effigy la the Palace of Westminster, where he would make three of his great rival, Pitt the younger. Tho only fat poet one can recall is Jamie Thompson, the anther of "The Seasons." He was a comfortable, lazy, slovenly man. of whom it is re- lated that he would eat peaches off the wall, not taking the trouble to take his hands out of his pockets to pluck 'them. Yet, despite his lazy dis- position, he managed to write one of the longest of English—poems, as well as "The Castle of ledolence"—a castle in which he habitually dwelt. Mr. G. H. Chesterton, one of the stoutest of living celebrItes, has on more than one occasion made up in the character of the Sage ofaneeet Street with most excellent success. It is a little remarkable, too, that one or his closest friends, Mr. Hilaire Bailee, is almost as famous for his bulk as he is for bbs critism ofmili- tary operatioes, his poetry, his history and his fiction. .

Tractable as beawas as to quality, however, he did have to draw a sharp line as to quantity; for Helen—with the cheerful -slogan, "Why, it's only twenty-five cents a week more, Burke!"—seemed not to realize that there was a limit even to the number of those one might spend—on piety dollars a month. True, at thee be- ginning she did remind him that they could "eat less" till they "got the things paid ear," andithat her clothes were "all new, -anyhow, being a bride, so! But she had not said that again. Perhaps because she saw the salesman turn his intik to laugh, and perhaps beeause she was a little frightened at the look on berg:bus- band's face. At all events, "When Berke did at last insist that they had bought quete enough, she ac- gtiecseged with •some measure of grace. Burke himself, whin the shopping was finished, drew a sigh of relief, yet with an inward shudder at the recollection of certain things marked "Sold to Burke Denby." "Oh, well,". he comforted himself. "Helen's happy—and that's the main thing; and I shan't see them much. I'm away days- and asleep nights." Nor did it occur to him that this was net the usual attitude of a supposed- ly proud bridegroom toward his new little nest of a home. C.etting eettled in the little Dale Street apartment was, so far as Burke was concerned, a mere matter of moving from the hotel and (lump- ing the codents of his trunks into his new chiffonier and closet.

The powers, espedially Austria, pro- tested, and Prince Charles (Carol), who had -been an officer in the Prus- sian army, 'was substituted. He set about freeing the country from the suzerainty of Turkey. "When the Russo-Turkish storm clouds arose in 1875, Charles sought to have the powers guarantee the neutrality of Roumania. He failed Then an agreement was reached with Russia. Under its tering Russian troops were to have free passage through -Roumania, while Russia was to respect the rights and defend the integrity of Roumania. "When the war began Roumania promptly declared herself indepen- dent of Turkey. As the war went on Russia needed help badly and finally Roumania responded to repeated Ap- peals. Under Prince Carol, Rumania and allied troops gained a decisive but costly victory before Plevna. Rou. manian freedom was recognized in the treaty of San Se -fano, and it fur- thermore was stipulated that Rou- mania was to get the swampy coun- try known as Dobrudja, lying be- tween the Danube, where it flows to the north, and the Black Sea, Resale was to have Bessarabia, territory claimed by Roumania and, 'in part, occupied by her.

Thus Roumania, after helping Russia in her plight, came out of the war with less than she had when she went in. "Before Roumania was swept into the world maelstrom of 1914-1918 she was known as the land of unique beauties, not so much on account of scenery as because of her quaint vil- lages, little whitewashed cottages, their doors and window frames paipt- ed in bright colors, and the attractive type of Roumanian peasant women.

Elim Dentidov, Prince of San DPS - to, attended school in England. He was an Eton boy, and, needless to say, was treated at Eton like any other boy, English or Russian, • prince or commoner. But when,. on leaving Eton, it became necessary for him, in view of his intended diplomatic car- eer, to pass certain Russian university examinations, he accepted the neces- sity In a manlier both princely and mating. • He was staying in the Riviera, and having a very good time there, which be did not care to inter. rupt by a trip to Petrograd.

The mammoths, huddled in valleys, were overwhelmed by snow- drifts, which, hardened to solid ire, preserved their bodies intact even to the present time: Wonderful State of Preservation. Now and then the hot sun of the short Arctic summer melts out and reveals to view one of the great car- casses—the meat still fresh enough to be Sed to dogs. The eyeballs of one specimen found on the Tas River, be- tween the Obi and the Yenesei, were as perfect os if the animal had been killed only a day or two earlier. To the portheast of ,the mouth of the Lena—which is one of the great rivers,of the world, rising in eastern Siberia and flowing northward to the Arctic Ocean—is a group et islands which, must formerly have been con. netted 'with the mainland. There an American naval expedition, which sought survivors of the ill-fated Jean. netts, found deposits of mammoth tusks that were -literal ivory mines. The frozen soil of tne islands was so crowded with mammoth skeltons as to suggest that the mighty pachp dorms must have had there a "dying place," to which through thousands of years they resorted when death al/ - preached. Lieutenant Schuetze, who was a member‘of the expedition, told the writer that there was a big for- tune to bo gained by a few adventur- ous men who should take a staunch vessel through Bering Strait 111 the opening of the Arctic summer dig for ivory and return in half a dozen weeks.

But of cone it doeshave to be bought—at fleet." "Of course! And I didn't think either," laughed Helen. "You see, we'd always had our furniture, too, I ,guess. But then, et'll be grand to buy it. I love new thins." Burke Denby frowned. "Buy it! Theta all right—if we' had the money ,to pay. Haven only knows bow much it'll cost. I don't." At nine o'clock the following morn- ing Mr. and Mrs. Burke Denby sal- lied forth to buy furniture for their "tenement," az Helen called it, until, her husband's annoyed remonstrances changed the word to "apartment." .1 Burke Denby leiumed many things, during the next few hours. He learn- ed first, that table and chairs and, beds and stoves—really decent ones that a fellow could endure the sight of—cost a rodi foes amount of money. But, to offset this, and to make Pete really worth the living, deer all, it seemed that one might buy a quantity sufflcient for one's needs, and pay for'them' in Metall-, meets, week by week. This- idea, while not wholly eatisfactory, seem- ed the only way f stretheing their limited means to cover their many needs; and, after some hesitation, it was adopted. There remained then only the mat- ter of ,selection; and it was just here1 that Burke Denby learned something else. He learned that two people,1 otherwise apparently in perfect ac- cords could disagree most violently, over the shape of a chair or the shade of a rug. Indeed, he would not have believed it possible that such elements of soul torture could lie in a mere matter of color or tex- ture. And how any one with eyes and sensibilities could. Ny!sh to select for one's daily companions each a mass of gingerbread decoration and glaring colors as seemed to meet the: fancy of his wife, he could not under- stand. Neither could he understand why, all his selections and prefer- ences were promptly dubbed "dingy" and "homely," nor why nothirig that he liked pleased her at all. As such was certainly the case, however, he came to express these prferenees less and less frequently. And in the end he always bought what she wanted, particularly as the price on her choice was nearly always lower than the one on his—which was an argu- ment in its favor that he found it hard to refute.

Are you ill?" So 'absorbed bad Burke Denby been over the part he himself was playing in this little drama' of Denby and Son, that he had gi-von no thought as to the probable looks or actions of any other member of the. east. He was quite unprepared, therefore, for the change in the, man he- now saw before him--athe pallor, the shrunken choker the' stooped sboul- dere, the unmistakable something that made the usually erect, debonair man look suddenly worn and old. "Dad, you are ell!" exelaiined Burke in dismay. John Denby got to his feet at ,once. He even smiled and held out his hand. Yet Burke, who took the hand, felt suddenly that there were, uncounted miles of space between them. "Ah, Burke, how are you? No, I'm not ill at all. And you—are you wehl 9r'L E ah --ah, yes, very well—er— very well." 1 "That's good. I'm glad." There was a brief pause.

There 1 was a secofld brief pause, then John Denby sat own. "You will find Brett in his office. :You have come to work, I ,dare say," he observed, a she turned to the let- ters on his desk.

Mr. Taft an ex -President of the U.S.A., is mentioned as President Wil- son's successor at the board of the Peace Conference. Ile is probably the stoutest man in public life; at any rate, the stoutest man with an inter- national reputation. Fat and fame have not very often been combined, perhaps because stout men are generally inclined to be easy- going, and theretore lacking in that push which brings a man to the fore. The only great statesman one can re., call who was really a fat man was Charles Samos Fox, as can bo seen even by his effigy la the Palace of Westminster, where he would make three of his great rival, Pitt the younger. Tho only fat poet one can recall is Jamie Thompson, the anther of "The Seasons." He was a comfortable, lazy, slovenly man. of whom it is re- lated that he would eat peaches off the wall, not taking the trouble to take his hands out of his pockets to pluck 'them. Yet, despite his lazy dis- position, he managed to write one of the longest of English—poems, as well as "The Castle of ledolence"—a castle in which he habitually dwelt. Mr. G. H. Chesterton, one of the stoutest of living celebrItes, has on more than one occasion made up in the character of the Sage ofaneeet Street with most excellent success. It is a little remarkable, too, that one or his closest friends, Mr. Hilaire Bailee, is almost as famous for his bulk as he is for bbs critism ofmili- tary operatioes, his poetry, his history and his fiction. .

True, at thee be- ginning she did remind him that they could "eat less" till they "got the things paid ear," andithat her clothes were "all new, -anyhow, being a bride, so! But she had not said that again. Perhaps because she saw the salesman turn his intik to laugh, and perhaps beeause she was a little frightened at the look on berg:bus- band's face. At all events, "When Berke did at last insist that they had bought quete enough, she ac- gtiecseged with •some measure of grace. Burke himself, whin the shopping was finished, drew a sigh of relief, yet with an inward shudder at the recollection of certain things marked "Sold to Burke Denby." "Oh, well,". he comforted himself. "Helen's happy—and that's the main thing; and I shan't see them much. I'm away days- and asleep nights." Nor did it occur to him that this was net the usual attitude of a supposed- ly proud bridegroom toward his new little nest of a home.

He failed Then an agreement was reached with Russia. Under its tering Russian troops were to have free passage through -Roumania, while Russia was to respect the rights and defend the integrity of Roumania. "When the war began Roumania promptly declared herself indepen- dent of Turkey. As the war went on Russia needed help badly and finally Roumania responded to repeated Ap- peals. Under Prince Carol, Rumania and allied troops gained a decisive but costly victory before Plevna.

Thus Roumania, after helping Russia in her plight, came out of the war with less than she had when she went in. "Before Roumania was swept into the world maelstrom of 1914-1918 she was known as the land of unique beauties, not so much on account of scenery as because of her quaint vil- lages, little whitewashed cottages, their doors and window frames paipt- ed in bright colors, and the attractive type of Roumanian peasant women.
