Payment Plan you to own a cabinet & WEST almnut and Locust AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Hampton institute is an industrial village with some 1,200 or 1,300 students, 200 teachers and workers, 140 buildings, and an instruction farm of some 400 acres. Whatever work the Hampton school needs to have done, the students are usually prepared to do. Farming, home-making, teaching and the common industries form vital parts in the training of Hampton institute boys and girls. Blacksmithing, bricklaying and plastering, carpentry and cabinetmaking, machine work, painting, printing, showmaking, steaming, plumbing, tailoring, tinsmithing, upholstering and wheelwrighting, are the trades which are offered by the Hampton Institute Trade school. Products tell a striking story of the aims and methods of the Hampton courses. These products are expressed in negro and Indian mechanics who have gone out among their people and communities as Christian and efficient builders for example. They are also expressed in well-built, attractive Hampton buildings and in serviceable accessories of the home and school. In the busy shops, on the scaffoldings of new structures, in odd nooks and corners of the Hampton grounds, negro and Indian carpenters, for example, have for many years been daily mastering the building art and have been preparing themselves for life's emergencies by learning how to make the best possible use of their resources—time, tools, skill and moral qualities. Today the construction of the Hampton institute buildings and the necessary repairs are being satisfactorily done by student tradesmen. Naturally a good share of this interesting work falls to the lot of the carpenters. A few years ago, when it became necessary to remodel the principal's home, one of the oldest buildings on the Hampton campus, negro and Indian tradesmen did the necessary tearing and building up. These operations are no easy task. The bulk of the work had to be done in hot and trying weather. The boys labored with a will. They were happy to have an opportunity of doing well what professional builders considered a difficult piece of work. Later, when the school authorities decided to add a story to the Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trade school, the student tradesmen again attacked with enthusiasm the laborious task of raising the heavy roof and putting on the second story. Then came the tedious days devoted to finishing the interior work. There was always the joy of doing successfully tasks generally considered beyond the reach of tradesmen in the training. --- William Quinney, a colored man who has been living near here, passed through McNeil en route to Shreveport accompanied by a portion of his interesting family of 20 children and his third wife. The children with him numbered seven, and they are all by his present wife. Quinney had seven children by his first wife, including two sets of twins; six by wife No. 2, and seven by the present one. All the wives are living, and after divorcing his former helpmeets, Quinney on each occasion lived six years in single blessedness. With his record of three wives and 20 children Quinney is still only forty-eight years old and expects to acquire quite a large family before he dies—McNeil (Ark.) dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The total negro population of the United States—latest figures—is 9,822,294. In 1954, a pamphlet issued recently by the Illinois Commission appointed by Governor Dunne to arrange a half-century anniversary of negro freedom. The negroes own $1,000,000,000 worth of property and worship in $65,000,000 worth of churches. Their land covers 31,000 square miles, or 20,000,000 acres. There are 1,119,653 negra female breadwinners, sixteen years of age and over. Of these, the largest number, 634,104, are domestics, 434,044 are engaged in agricultural pursuits 631,804 are agricultural laborers and 313,091 are servants and waitresses. The commission is planning an expo in the city to celebrate the growth of Illinois since their emancipation, which will begin August 1, 1915 and continue for 30 days in the Coliseum. --- More than 4,000,000 tons of ore a year are expected to be exported from mines in Algeria by French capitalists who have obtained concessions after more than ten years of effort. Figures relating to the output of coal in British India during 1912 have been published by the chief inspector of these show total output last year of 14,044,388 tons, which is near 2,000,000 tons in excess of the production recorded in the previous output. Every high school graduate in Nebraska receives a letter from the University of Nebraska congratulating him on his graduation and urging him to consider the advantages offered by the state university. The date crop in Mesopotamia for 1912 is reported as having been abundant and sold at good prices. It is estimated that the London market took about 550,000 cases and America 450,000. Asbestos deposits throughout a region approximately two by four miles in extent have been discovered in Natal. What a delightful world if the rose kept its odor as long as the moth ball down! Commenting on the condition of the colored Baptist churches in Chicago a writer in the Standard says Their numbers help to suggest the important place which these Baptist churches hold in the life of this community. Let me supplement this by the words of a splendidly educated colored woman, Mrs. F. B. Williams, who says: "Despite the serious handicap of slowly decreasing debts, the colored church is the center of the social life and efforts of the people. What the church sanctions and supports is of the first importance, and what the support and sanction changes than at last is the number of churches historically, as to numbers and reach of influence and dominion, are the strongest factor in the community life of the colored people. Aside from the ordinary fractions of preaching, prayer-meetings, and Sunday school, the church is regarded by the masses as a sort of tribune of all their social and civic interests. Thousands of colored people know and care for no other entertainment than that furnished by the church. What they fall to learn of the finer things of life in the church remains unlearned. These people, generally speaking, have few civilizing and elevating influences, except as they are supplied by this single institution." She concludes by saying: "Our churches could do more and be more to the ever-increasing number of people gaining social status, if they were less burdened with debts and an unyielding orthodoxy. The Chicago churches, however, are becoming more intelligently interested and earnest in their endeavor to meet the peculiar requirements of the city colored people." The 17 colored churches differ as widely as our own churches. Numerically, they range from a membership of 2,500 to one of 35. Financially, they vary from a debt-free larger church to the bankrupt and defunct mission church. Theologically, intellectually, and culturally, these churches are not made in a mold. They exhibit a bewildering and complex variety. They are really independent. Their churches are named after the great outstanding places of scriptural history—a fact which suggests their independence and variety—and not numerically according to historical precedence, as we have been accustomed to do. We are also split into parts of the great differences between these churches, there are some common possibilities of advancement which occur to the friendly observer. The main building of the Wilson Tubercular Home and Hospital for Negroes, just completed at Wilson, N. C., is used as a center for training nurses and testing the ailments of patients. In addition to this main building there is a farm of 40 acres, half of it in pine woods, on which it is hoped that buildings may be erected for patients who are able to work while taking the treatment. --- Lucifer matches—that is, matches tipped with an explosive substance that bursts into flame on being struck—were first used about 1834. Many improvements have been made in matches since the invention of the safety match, striking only on the box. The annual meeting of the National Nebro Business league was held this year in Muskogee, Okla. These meetings are always largely attended. The delegates include not a few colored men who by their industry, intelligence and thrift have attained a competency if they are not to be reckoned wealthy. They are successful farmers, physicians and lawyers and merchants and mechanics. Very large they are from the Southern states. This year, as usual, Booker Washington was one of the speakers, and gave his accustomed counsel emphasizing the opportunities which are open for those who devote themselves to useful employments. An inlunary parade which gave impressive proof of the progress and attainments of the colored people in agriculture, in stock raising, in artisanship, in schools, in churches and in homes. In spite of narrow prejudice and in many places unworthy hostility, the colored people are making progress that is worth while. When a man tells a young widow that he is not worthy of her he knows she knows he's lying. Experiments by the Japanese government of producing camphor by distilling the leaves and branches of camphor trees have reached a stage at which 39 gallons of distillate are produced from each 400 pounds of leaves.

When a woman marries for spite she usually spites herself more than her husband. Although the state of New York exceeded all former records by producing more than 8,625,000 cubic feet of natural gas last year, it imported nearly as much to supply its demand. Don't worry over a mistake that can be corrected; get busy and correct it. No, Cordelia, a smelting furnace is not an apparatus for cooking smelt. The successful man sticks to business with the rise of industry. BUY MUTTON IN QUANTITIES Question of Economy, and its Disposal for the Clerk Housekeeper, for the Clever Housekeeper. Food experts agree that year-old mutton is more nutritious than young lamb. It is much cheaper to buy it in quantities. A hind quarter will furnish chops which can be breaded or served plain or with tomato sauce. The leg can be roasted or baked with mint or paper sauce. The bonas make a good group of Scotch barley broth. The scraps of cold roast mutton make an excellent salad combined with chopped celery, onions and peppers. Mix with mayonnaise and serve on a lettuce leaf. The chopped cold mutton is fine seasoned and baked in mango peppers from which the seeds have been removed or to chop the scraps from mutton or tochop the scraps from sauce and serve on toast or in nictice cases. The fore quarter of mutton makes stews, plain or with curry powder, meat pies and en casserole with vegetables or rice. Roast the shoulder, stuffed or plain, and use the loin for chops. In order that one may not get tired of mutton, do not serve it all the time, but alternate with other dishes. Cook the stews and soups and can use them. The chops can be hesed and covered with melted lard. A roast can be kept indefinitely, the same way. This is a specially good idea for those at a distance from a meat market. CONVENIENT IN THE KITCHEN New Sink Dispain That Is Calculated to Save Time and Labor in Housework. A new sink dishpan has just arrived on the market and is creating a decided sensation among housewives who are obliged to admit the dishpan family to their intimate acquaintanceship. The dishpan is square like the sink, and has four short tin legs and a plug in the center. The plug is pulled out to let off the dishwater which drains into a wire drawer underneath, six by eight inches in size and an inch deep. This catches all greasy substances and waste from the water; then the drawer may be pulled out and emptied into the garbage bucket, which saves the clogging of the sink and also prevents the handling of the usual waste by the woman who does the dishwashing. It is a clever contrivance, and will certainly have a niche in the hall of honored time and labor saving conveniences. Apple Grant. Six good-sized apples, peeled and sliced; one cupful molasses, one cupful sugar, a little salt and cinnamon. Make a dough of one scant pint of flour, one teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful cream tartar, one-half teaspoonful salt. Rub one-half tablespoonful of shortening into flour and mix with buttermilk or milk to make it right to roll. Put one-half of the apples in a deep agate pan or kettle, season with one-half cupful molasses, one-half cupful sugar, salt and cinnamon. Divide the dough into two and roll it plain with cover up. Put in another layer of apples with remainder of molasses, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Cover with other half of dough, with slits cut in top. Put in one cupful of hot water, cover closely and cook on top of stove from thirty to forty-five minutes, taking care not to scorch. Lamb Curry. Put two pounds of lamb in a stewpan with sufficient water to cook it, having previously washed it. Let it stew slowly till the meat comes easily from the bones. When cool, cut it into small pieces. Fry a small onion in two ounces of butter to a light brown, add a little salt and half a spoonful of curry paste; mix all together with half a pint of good gravy or stock, put in the meat and let it stew gently half an hour. Serve boiled rice separately. German Pancake. Whisk the yolks of five eggs with one pint of cream or rich milk and beat the whites very stiff. Add to the yolks and cream four ounces of flour and one tablespoonful of sugar, one ounce of raisins and one ounce chopped almonds. Then add the beaten whites, stir and fry on a griddle with two ounces of butter, either whole or in three parts. Let it brown. When light lift it with sugar and serve with preserves or hot vanilla or wine sauce. Care of Oven. An oven that is constantly in use requires to be kept scrupulously clean. It should not only have the shelves scrubbed out with soda occasionally, but in addition the shelves should be painted with quicklime two or three times a year. An oven treated in this way never becomes caked with grease and there is no unpleasant smell when it is being used. Corn Fritters Scrape corn from six ears, three well-beaten eggs, one teaspoonful salt, flour and baking powder in proportion of three teaspoonfuls to one quart. *⅛* corn, eggs and flour. Use the flour and eggs in a batter and lard mixture. Drop corn batter from tablespoon into hot fat, turn carefully and serve very hot. Suggestions for the Cook. There is a popular prejudice against fried food, but food perfectly fried is not harmful to a healthy person. Frying can be perfectly done only when the fat is smoking hot. Croquettes or other food coated with eggs and milk can be improved in smoked meat with not be greasy, and may be eaten with impunity. Lemon Pattles. Scald two cupfuls of grated breadcrumbs with one cupful of boiling milk. When cool add three well beaten eggs, two ounces of butter beaten to a cream and one tablespoonful of powdered sugar. Bake in small cups and serve with whipped cream flavored with vanilla or with lemon sauce. ```markdown ``` IOWA STATE BYSTANDEE Moving Picture Star Risked Life for Scene. Jump From Moving Locomotive Is Something That Frank Powell is by No Means Anxious to Do Again. Frank Powell, Pathe director, is telling of some exciting times that he has been having in connection with his picture, "The Taint," which has just been finished. He bought a modern locomotive for the sole purpose of turning it into scrap iron before his cameras. Edward Joseph, his leading man, was to make his escape from pursuers by confiscating the engine, starting it and letting it run wild. Mr. Jose showed his nerve by assembling to this decidedly dickish venture, and Mr. Powell and his camera man, Mr. Taint, were on their platform only a very few miles away from where the locomotive was to be ditched. Everything went off smoothly at the start. Mr. Jose got the engine started on its wild career and just before it left the rails of the sliding where the accident was to take place made the thrilling leap for life. The number of somersaults he took on the steep bank would have been a marvel to a circus acrobat. When he picked up his aching body he found that his face was so deformed that his face upon the embankment. In the meantime Mr. Powell and the camera man found their platform had been placed dangerously near the derailing point. The engine charged down upon them like a mad bull and landed beside them in a roar of escaping steam and a shower of earth and stones. To the 3,000 spectators it looked as though the two men could not escape, so when they emerged from the cloak they felt of left up and everyone pressed forward to extend their congratulations. Besides Mr. Jose the cast includes the well-known Ruby Hoffman Creighton Hale and Ben Hendricks it is interesting to note a New Jersey railway made a big feature of the movie. It also had an excursion trains to the scene. EUGENIE BESSERER MUSIC A CO. Eugenie Besserer, the eminent screen actress, soon will appear in an other feature, "Her Eternal Victory." The query, "How great is mother she is dealt with in this vivid story written for Miss Besserer by William E. Wing. Dickens' "The Chimes." Tom Terris, one of the best known impersonators of Dickens characters, famous throughout this country for his artistic interpretations of the principal types in the great Eiglish author's stories, makes his screen debut in the motion picture theaters in "The Chimes." The film version of this masterful story is contained in five reels of film replete with stirring incidents, all presented by Mr. Triche, a prominent cast of pantomimists and stage players, including Alfred Hemmick, Clarence Harvey, Harry Hitchock, Vinnie Burns and Faye Cusick. As the story is being played on the screen the observer is impressed with the remarkable similarity in theme that exists between the famous Dickens novel and many of the modern sociological dramas. The struggle between labor and capital with its heartaches and sufferings and the malevolent influence wears on the impoverished characters, which are features often have been presented on the stage and screen in the past, but never more convincingly than in this photo drama. Moving-Picture Mining An interesting case of successful fraud is reported by a Spanish newspaper. It appears that a group of live Frenchmen succeeded in selling some Kankee capitalists a non-existant gold property. Thus are the tables turned! exclaims the Engineering and Mining Journal. The Ingenious Gauls carried outt, with scenery and all, and with this equipment they photographed the operations of the company that they were able to install their midnight-sun myth for real money. Seeing was believing; not even a Missouri orign, would have helped the roots of this little deal OAKMAN HAS A NEW PART Will Portray "Weary" in the Forth- coming Production of "The Lonesome Trail." Wheeler Oakman, who made such a hit in "Willie," the Western comedy, will be seen as "Weary," the famou member of the "Happy Family" of the wondrous rancho, the "Flying 'U'." Everyone will remember this alluring SE. POLYGON CO. Wheeler Oakman. story from the pen of B. M. Bower, Weary's love for the school ma'am, with its soulful sighs, comic condescency and all-round misunderstandings, provides a vehicle for one of the best in that group of lively pictures headed by "Chip the Flying Cat." The title of "Chip the Flying Cat" comedy is "The Lonesome Trail." It bubbles over with cowboy doings. Surprised the Hobo John E. Brennan, the famous Kaleem comedian, played a joke upon a hobo, while "The Winking Zulu" was being produced, which scared the knight of the dusty road out of four years' growth. The painting had been completed and Brennan, on his way from the studio one evening, almost stumbled across the room of a hobo living inward. An idea occurred to the comedian. He imparted it to some of the attaches of the studio, with the result that the tramp was carried into the building and placed in front of the Winking Zulu. Presently the hobo revived. His eyes wandered about the building confusedly and rested upon the painting. It winked at him. Started, the tramp wiped up. The Zulu winked at him. With a frightened door, the man burst through the room. Brennan vows that the hobo did the next mile in less than a minute. Bushman Scores Again. Francis X. Bushman, Essanay screen star, has won new laurels as a pantomimist by his skillful portrayal of a persecuted man, whose chief offense appears to be that he is a rival in a love affair of an unscrupulous but influential man. As a result of this man's enemy, he is led by his adversary, who thereby planned by his adversary and later an attempt is made to kill him, which nearly succeeds. "The Plum Tree" is the title of the latest photo drama produced by the Essanay Film company from a story which appears in a current issue of a well-known magazine, featuring this popular matinee idol of the screen. It is the first complete in itself, which will be produced in co-operation with this publication by the Essanay company. Our Biggest Audience Few people have an adequate notion of the actual extent of the moving picture business in America. Chairman F. C. Howe of the national board of censorship of motion pictures gives these figures. Sixteen to twenty thousand theaters, two daily entertain from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 yearly. The capital invested is estimated at $150,000,000, and the public spends annually something like $300,000,000. This gigantic business has all been developed in less than ten years, and is still growing with amazing rapidity. Churches and schools are becoming well represented in it, and the public films are rising to a higher standard.-Christian Herald. How He Got the Lions "Did you really shoot those lions in the picture?" was the query put to Director E. A. Martin so many times in connection with "In Tune With the Wild" that the producer became exceedingly weary. While standing in front of a Los Angeles playhouse he was introduced to a group of fans. One of the women started the usual gushing query: "You really when you interrupted, 'I lady,' did not shoot them. I sang to the lions at the auspicious moment and they were glad to lie down and die without bullets." Criticism That Hurt Stella Razote of the Selig company went to the theater the other night, principally to see how her beloved pet dog had been treated to Mary Jane." Imagine her indignation when she heard the following conversation behind her: "Say, that Mary Jane is all right, say, that she is all right," "Say, but what do they want to use such an ugly little mutt as that dog for? Why not get a good dog?" --- You have let the furnace fire go out because you do not now need it to keep you warm. You have put fly screens in the windows and doors in order that they may be thrown wide open to permit a free circulation of air through the house. Thus you may avoid the heat and be comfortable without letting the bearling room in your house know that a closed room in summer is uncomfortable, and you have heard perhaps that it is dangerous as well and you are guarding against that danger. But have you reasoned out why it is so? Do you know? Do other things about your person prove and proclaim that you have acted consistently and according to the rules, just following conventional lines and habit and have done this or that because others do it? Perhaps you are also beginning to ask yourself and your acquaintances, too, the question that comes to the mind of the vast majority with the first hot days of summer: "What can I drink to cool me off?" Curious, is it not, that the old man is so eager to all say every turn? It would appear that we think always that we must "take something" to correct uncomfortable conditions, and it never seems to occur to us that eminently satisfactory results may be bad from within. Without doubt you would think your neighbor decidedly queer if, during this hot weather, he were to keep his fire going, close the windows of his house and buy ice to cool himself with. Probably no single contribution to the science of nutrition has been productive of knowledge capable of more profoundly influencing human life than has the calorie idea. By means of this unit of measurement food requirements become a matter of accurate demonstration, and it is proved that the transformations of chemical energy into heat and work in the animal body take place according to the same general laws as in our artificial moors. If air is dry it more readily takes up moisture and thereby cools us, whereas if the humidity is high—that is, if the air be close to its limit of water vapor saturation—of course there will be but little room in it for our moisture. For example: At 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and 50 per cent humidity the air will have a capacity for 7.4 grains of water per cubic foot and a comparatively moderate volume of such air will keep our skins dry and we will feel cooler than per cent there is room in it for but 1.48 grains of water per cubic foot and we will heat and sweat on the slightest exertion. Very exhaustive tests in many parts of the world by various experts on many subjects prove that the average man, kept absolutely motionless and fasting, develops 1,625 calories per day, an amount of energy equal to lifting more than 2,500 tons one foot. Note carefully that this is body tissue combustion. Food necessary for simple maintenance alone would increase this fully 180 calories. If permitted to move about the room the man would require 2,434 foot calories. The amount of 2,434 foot tons. These tests go to show it is very necessary that we should adjust and balance our food to our requirements and that intuition and guessing are unsatisfactory and unsafe methods for arriving at a sane solution of the food question. It would also seem to make clear the absurdity of attempting to "cool off" by pouring various wet goods down our throats. The solution of the heat problem is: First, not to take more food than is required easily to accomplish our daily tasks. Second, to clothe ourselves so as to permit our food to be used in the body, including the scalp—to fulfill the need. Incidentally, cut down your meat eating, unless you are a laboring man at hard labor. Cut out the beer and the cocktail. For lunch a bowl of bread and milk, or a large portion of dandelion greens or spinach or asparagus with plenty of good olive oil and lemon juice, and some bread and butter, will keep the machine running until we get time to cook a meal and food question. Dandelions and sparrow iron and other mineral matter and this is the season to catch up on your IN TROUBLE OVER GOOD DEED Young Philadelphia Might Be Par doned for Not Agreeing to the taking It doesn't always pay to assume the role of the Good Camaritan, as was demonstrated by an embarrassing position a young Philadelphia man found himself in a few days ago. While sitting in a restaurant eating his lunch he was approached by an Italian who beseeched his aid. The Italian told a story of how he was afflicted with poor eyesight and being unable to speak English faintly couldn't find his way to the Willis Eye hospital. The young man volunteered to guide the unfortunate man to the hospital. He had not gone very far when he discovered that the Italian was practically blind, and it was necessary to take him. When the rached the hospital Good Samaritan was informed that he would have to stay there until the patient was treated and then take him away. He explained the circumstances. mineral supply. All fresh vegetables contain minerals in varying degrees. For breakfast some fruit, a bowl of whole cracked wheat and milk, or some fried whole corn meal or wheat mush, bacon, toast and coffee, will carry you until lunch time; and then for dinner a small portion of steak or a chop, potatoes and another vegetable or two, bread and butter, a salad, coffee, tea or milk, and you will wake up ready for business. The quantity? That depends on your weight and the character of your work. You have got to master simple fundamentals of nutrition and be able to adapt foods to your individual needs if you are going to be healthy, happy and efficient. FOOD ADJUSTMENT The public mind has been roused here and there to an interest in certain phases of the pure food question by the popular agitation of the subject as presented by various enthusiastic leaders, but there is much underlying truth which has entirely escaped attention. This is due to the fact that the movement has necessarily been inured in much that is in the nature of comedy, and in the commercial campaigns a well turned phrase or glittering epigram is frequently preferred to a straightforward statement of fact. We have, for instance, heard much that is both true and false about benzote of soda, but neither side has felt called on to state the whole truth which is that as a general proposition the average individual is vastly better off without any of the dietetic whites around which the battle rages. We do not need instruction in the competency of foods, but we are sady in need of instructions as to how to select and prepare a nutritious and healthful diet. The average individual among laymen and physicians alike regards the fundamental problems of food and diet as permanently solved. The fallacy of this belief is quickly shown by a brief study of the mortality tables published by the United States bureau of census. These tables show a progressive decrease in mortality from all diseases other than those directly connected with metabolism, while the mortality from diseases caused by deranged metabolism show a progressive increase per 100,000 population. Obviously the fundamental problems of food and diet are far from being understood or solved, and probably the most imperfectly understood part of the problem is that of the quantity of food needed for the support of man. Careful, painstaking investigations for many years in many parts of the world have reduced human food requirements to a basis where the quantity has become a matter of accuracy. ion runoff is the most needed demand for food fuel for the worker need no longer remain velled in the mystery of guesswork. About the latest word from the investigators in this field comes from Becker and Mamallinen in Finland. Tests conducted by them for determining the energy required by the labor at various occupations are as follows: Women. One seamstress with needle. .1,800 One seamstress with sewing machine.1,800 One seamstress with sewing machine.2,800 One bookbinder .2,800 One bookbinder .2,800 Two servants polishing silver, washing windows, etc. .2,300 Two servants polishing silver, washing windows, etc. .2,300 Same two servants washing clothes. 2,600, 3,800 Two tailors 2,400, 2,500 One bookbinder 2,700 One shoemaker 2,600 Two metal workers, filling and hammering 2,100, 3,300 Two carpenters making tables 3,200, 3,300 Two painters painting furniture 2,300, 3,300 Two stonemasons, chiseling tombstones 4,300, 4,700 Two men sawing wood 5,000, 5,400 It must be very clear to any person reading the above table that there is a direct relation between the number and character of the movements in the several occupations to make so distinct a difference in the amount of food required to furnish this energy, and also that there is some material difference in metabolic efficiency between those engaged in the same lines of work. Or, perhaps, the difference shown may be due to differences in individual bulk. However, that is a matter for future consideration, a point to be considered at this time being the adjustment of food to occupation. Bearing in mind the fact that the calorie is equal to the energy expended in 1,545 tons one foot, it is very evident that an individual on the diet of the seamstress or the tailors would quickly suffer physical collapse at the work of sawing wood. The other side of the question is, what happens to the sedentary workers, those on a par with the seamstress and the tailor, who are on the diet of the wood sawyers? There are thousands of them in all our great cities, individuals who eat with their eyes and palates. They are wasting fuel and making of themselves "demd moist unpleasant bodies." but the official was firm. "You brought him here, and you will have to take him away," he said. The young man saw visions of all sorts of trouble ahead of him with a blind man unable to speak English, a ranger in the city without home or money being on his hands. So when he saw an opportunity he leaped out of a window and made his escape as fast as his legs could carry him. High Times Patience—They were married at high noon, I believe. Patrice—Yes. "Are they getting on nicely?" "No; it is not pleased, because he doesn't get home sometimes until high midnight." What Allied Him. Bacon- What's the matter with your neighbor? Egbert—Sick. "Too bad." "Yes; his wife bet him he wouldn't eat one of the first biscuits she cooked, and he took the bet." LauraJeanLibbeu's Talks on Heart Topics [Copyright, 1914, by the McCure Newspaper Syndicate] IN HONOR'S GRIP. If you are too weak to journey Up the mountain steep and high, You can stand within the valley, While the multitude You can chant in happy measure As they slowly pass along Theo they may forget the singer They will not forget the song. It is not unusual for a merry, light- hearted young fellow to imagine him- self deeply smitten with a bright, vivacious, pretty young girl at the first moment of the introduction. A whirlwind of courtship ensues, and their engagement follows. A. As the old saying goes, "quick to fall in love, quick to fall out again!" Another girl, or, perchance, another young man comes upon the scene. He or she is more courteous to the stranger than the occasion demands. Jealousy arises, and a lover's quarrel follows. There is a parting of the ways. This does not seem to end the compact which each entered into so thoughtlessly — recklessly. Neither feels possessed of the right to encourage another love. Two entered into the betrothal compact. It took two to make it. One cannot have the sole privilege of breaking it, it takes two! Thus both are held in the grip of honor until each releases the other. The man and maid who hold a betrothal sacred cannot be said to be fickle in affection. If a man discovers that the sweet-heart with whom he has parted has ceased to love him, it is cruelty for him to hold her in honor bound to fulfill the engagement. He should be resigned to having found out the state of her heart before marriage, rather than after. The same rule holds good in regard to a man. A girl should be too proud spirited to hold a man in the grip of an engagement of marriage which has become irksome to him. Those who are forced, as it were, to the altar against their will, always hold in their heart a feeling of keen resentment. This feeling never resolves into love. On the other hand, those whose hearts are welded together, but not mated, are apt to blame themselves bitterly for being so foolish as to allow themselves to believe that it were impossible to loosen what they thought to be honor's grip. Love is serious and sacred. Marriage is still more so. A girl and her sweetheart should feel that they could not exist without each other to produce sufficient faith to wed. One-sided unions are not God's purpose of mating. It is not honorable to give the hand when the heart does not go with it. The girl who has waited patiently through a long engagement for her lover to fulfill his matrimonial engagement with her feels that she holds him in honor's grip not to forsake her, even though her youth and beauty has faded. In such an instance, the woman has the world's sympathy and takes issue with those who would decide against her. Men and women should be chary pledging their love. But exchange of hearts once made, each should consider wedlock love's grip, tender and sweet as it is firm. LOST! A WOMAN'S CONFIDENCE. Ah, world unknown! how charming is thy view, Thy pleasures many, and each pleasure Ah! world experienced! what's of thee is old. How few thy pleasures, and those few how cold. Contented is the woman who has implicit faith in the man she loves. The pangs of jealousy are unknown to her. The most beautiful and brilliant of women may flutter about him; but if a fillet of love binds his eyes, he does not see them. He is deaf to their flattery. Absence makes his heart grow fonder toward the object of his affection; but it happens once in a while that even the most conscientious of men are caught in a whirlpool of circumstances from which they find it difficult to extricate themselves to the entire satisfaction of sweethearts. A girl rival of his loved one may be persistent in her efforts at setting her cap for him. If he meets her at the home of a friend, quite unexpecedly, he must be courteous to her; and, especially at night. If she asks him archly if he will execute a little errand for her—stop at a florist's, and order her a dozen choice roses, her favorite, he, as an old acquaintance of her family, would not disoblige her. If he is taking a short cut through the park and happens to encounter the same girl, it does not occur to him to hurry past with a slight nod. If she's going in his direction he feels in duty bound to slacken his pace and walk beside her as far as the entrance. Of themselves, these incidents are of small moment to him, but when the girl carelessly recounts to his sweetheart that the lover she has such confidence in has been beauling her home from evening affairs, taking walks with her, sending her flowers, her faith in him is shaken to its foundation. He may explain the matter frankly, but that is not saying her fears are groundless, and forever set at rest. The woman who believes her trust betrayed always harbors a doubt in her heart. This is the blighting frost that sooner or later kills love. If the heart is disturbed in its love dream, it can never afterwards heat with the same joyous rhythm. It is always wisest and best for a lover to explain at the time being just how this or that occurrence took place, that he may have her views on the subject. Her confidence is worth everything to him. With it a happy future is assured for them. Without it, their lives will drift apart. Lost is the whole world to him if he possesses not the jewel of her confidence. BLAMING HERSELF. I hold it true what he'er befall, I feel it when I sorrow most; The better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. When a woman does the best she can with either her daily tasks or her love affairs, she should not fall in lamentation and grieve if they go wrong. In regard to even the duties she knows best how to perform, it is comforting for her to hear that mistakes will happen even in the best of families. It is quite as true that love affairs the whole world over have not run smoothly. If she has a quarrel with her lover, and he goes off in a huff, when she sits down and thinks the matter over, nine times out of ten she blames herself. She goes over the whole affair carefully. When he said he could not come the following evening, but stubbornly refused to give the reason, why, she shouldn't have jumped at the conclusion that he was going with some other girl, accused him of it and been unprepared for his bitter resentment. At the time she supposed he would assure her to the contrary. His silence made matters worse. She blamed herself for not laughing the matter off, remembering that a gentle word turns aside wrath. As time rolls its slow length by and she does not hear from him, she wonders if she were not at fault in not giving him encouragement to bridge over the difficulty. She does not stop to consider that many another girl of spirit would have done just as she did; that it really takes two to make a quarrel, especially if the girl has a will of her own, insists upon everything going her way. No matter how long a girl may know her lover, she will find traits in him, even at the end of the longest courtship, which she never knew he possessed. The careless, easy-going man she discovers to be capable of sudden and unforeseen obstinacy. He on his part, discovers that the girl he thought had the sweetest of dispositions can be distrustful and capable of downright jealousy. A little kindness on his part would have turned the tide of good feeling. But does a man blame himself? Never! He considers that a girl has no right to pry into his private business, even if they are betrothed. It is time enough to inform her when she becomes his wife. Men seldom, or never, die over a love dream which had a rude awakening. He does not say to himself "It was all my fault." On the contrary, he is more than apt to put three-fourths of the blame on the girl; to conclude she shouldn't have said or done this or that to provoke him into an angry retort. As the years go on, the more set he is in this belief. Girls should realize that the men who are content to leave them because of a slight quarrel are not worth having. An even half of the blame rests upon the shoulders of both. Often love quarrels which seem most serious are in reality but a tempest in a teapot. Blame shouldn't be put on the wrong one. SPIES IN COMMERCIAL LIFE Their Duty Is to Investigate and Report Inventions That Have Proved of Value. Spying is as prevalent in the commercial as in political world, though the existence of these commercial spies is not nearly so well known. There are certain classes of manufacturers, however, who habitually employ a regiment of spies—competent men, whose business it is to go to other lands and spy out the new enterprises and inventions being made by the various traders. Individual methods adopted vary very greatly, and we are often so subtle as to make it difficult to tackle them. Very often designers in big potteries, brass foundries, and other manufactories are approached by agents of unscrupulous foreign firms and offered big money for copies of the new designs of their firm. Again, a very large number of young men are sent to England from the continent every year, ostensibly to learn the English language and British business methods, but in reality to keep their continental employers well informed of what is going on in our trade centers. This spying has been existent now for many years, and it has a serious effect upon the commerce of the whole world.—Answers. Early Invasion of Britain. August 27, 55 years before the Christian era, has been set down as the day on which Julius Caesar invaded the Island of Britain, making his landing and first encampment at Romney, remarks the Indianapolis News. The Roman commander embarked on his expedition at the port since called Boulogne and shipped his cavalry form the adjacent harbor of Ambleteuse. Caesar himself tells that he set out on his expedition when little summer remained, that the people of South Britain were engaged in their harvest and that he returned three weeks after—before the equinox. Thus the day must have been in August. He further adds that the full moon occurred on the fourth day after his landing. Astronomical tables show that the full moon of August in that year was at 3 a.m. of the 31st. Hence Caesar landed on the 27th. The invading force was a small one. He had set out from Boulogne at midnight with 8,000 men in 20 transports besides a few swift war galleys and arrived on the British coast about ten o'clock in the forenoo. PLAYERS "SORRY" FOR JUMPING BRAVES KO Catcher Bill Rariden of Indianapolis Feds. If there ever were two ball players in the world who have a legitimate excuse for kicking themselves all over a ball lot, Vin Campbell and Bill Rariden, outfielder and catcher respectively on the Indianapolis Federal league baseball club, are the ones. These two athletes—both stars—last year were the property of the Boston National league clubs. Campbell didn't play in 1913, having quit the national pastime in a huff the season previous, but he still belonged to the Braves and at the beginning of this season he was importted by George Stallings, the Braves' manager, to join the club. Rariden, though, caught the majority of Boston's games and was ranked as one of the classiest receivers in the National league. Due Federal league agents into the ears of Rariden. The athletes gan to fall as the "Fed sums much in excess they were receiving a Now Boston last season and outer with no show the world's series prospects for 1914 brighter at the time agents were after Rarell. And so it was Rariden and Campbell the outlaw circuit make more money. But now, it's a much different. Immense Task of Leading Victorious Eleven Against Harvard Rests on Raynesford's Shoulders. Jimmy Raynesford, captain of the Michigan football eleven, has a load hanging over him this fall that none of his predecessors in years carried. It is up to Captain Raynesford to lead an eleven onto the field at Cambridge capable of beating Harvard. The task is immense, and if he fails to accomplish it the football world will COLUMBUS Captain Jimmy Rayneesford. not scoff at the Michigan leader. If he turns the trick that Yale, Princeton and other big colleges have not been able to perform in the last two years, the captain will have his name down on Michigan's gridiron roll for years and years and years to come. Another Fallacy Exposed It is said that it is hard to get ball players, and yet almost every team in either big league has a youngster at some position who has come up from the minors and made good, says New York World. The Federalis dug up several kids who look like big leaguers. It is hard to find good men, but with proper scouting it can be done. Many Fed Star Pitchers. The Federal league is surely not weak or lacking in major class, so far as pitchers are concerned. Among the pitchers with the Federals who have national reputations are Ford, Crandall, Seaton, Packard, Quinn, Falkenberg, Suggs, Moseley, Camnitz, Hendrix, Wilhelm, Brennan, Krapp and Knetzer. How Time Elites In Baseball. In the year 1890, when Hughey Jennings chose to break into the national pastime, George Stallings was catching in the Atlantic association, John McGraw was in the New York and Pennsylvania league, Connie Mack was with the Brotherhood and Bill Dahlen was with the Peekskill club of the New York league. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER OR JUMPING BRAVES National league. During last winter Federal league agents whispered offers into the ears of both Campbell and Rariden. The athletes listened and began to fall as the "Fed" agent named sums much in excess of the salaries they were receiving at Boston. Now Boston last season was a down and outer with no show of getting into the world's series money. And the prospects for 1914 were not much brighter at the time the new league's agents were after Rariden and Campbell. And so it was not strange that Rariden and Campbell should jump to the outlaw circuit with a chance to make more money. But now, it's a different thing—much different. Thought His Arm Had Been Torn Off When Hit by Foul Tip While Johnson Was Pitching. Silk O'Loughlin says the worst injury he ever received while umpiring—not pop bottles, but in the course of the game—was at Philadelphia several years ago when he was working behind the bat and Walter Johnson was pitching. "The batter clipped a foul tip that caught me right on the arm," says Silk, "and I thought my arm had gone on with the ball to the stand. For at least ten minutes it was paralyzed, and for several months after I could feel the bruise. Walter Johnson's speed is bad enough, but when a foul tip is added to it you may know that the ball was going at an awful gait." NOTES of the DIAMOND Josh Devore of the Boston Braves is one of the first division. The St. Louis Fed club has loaned Outfielder Fred Kommers to the Baltimore Feds. In the interest of economy the Chicago Cubs released the veteran catcher and coach, Tom Needham. Tallion, the French Canadian on the infield of the Topeka club, is rapidly developing into a real shortstop. The anvil chorus is working overtime in Cincinnati and Herzog's position for next year is now in the balance. Nap Rucker, the Brooklyn pitcher, has deltoid bursitis. You probably will be able to find that on your war man. President Thomas of the Chicago Cubs, announced that Jimmy Archer and Wilbur Good had signed new three-year contracts with the ten-day clause eliminated. Frank Snyder, the young catcher of the St. Louis Cards, is one youngster who is able to stop the New York base thieves. In a recent game he caught four base pilfers. While there isn't much fighting done for the A. L. pennant flag, a severe engagement is reported between the Pirates and Dodgers for position in the lowlands in the N. L. Arthur Devlin, the former Giant and who was released recently from the management of the Oakland team of the Pacific Coast league, has become manager of the All-Leaguers of New York. The passing of Steve Yerkes, together with Stahl, O'Brien, Hall, Pape, Ball and Nunamaker, makes seven of the Red Sox championship team of two years ago who have been released. Forrest Cady now uses the Australian crawl slide in stealing bases. It would be classy stuff if it were not for the fact that the baseman always is waiting with the ball to tag the Red Sox catcher. Hughe Jennings is hot on the trail of promising second basemen. He has purchased two new ones, both from the Pacific Coast league. They are Pep Young, Sacramento, and Fred McMullen, Tacoma. --- --- --- . . . . . . --- GOOD BREAKS IN BASEBALL If Made to Order They Could Not Have Evaluated to Better Advantage in American League. One of the most satisfactory seasons known to baseball, considering the trying conditions under which it is being played, is now being rounded out in the American Baseball league, says a writer in the Detroit News. If the "breake" had been made to order they couldn't have eventuated to better financial advantage, in view of the fact that disastrous baseball war is on and troubles over baseball players have made the high cost of champions still higher. Perhaps the most remarkable good break is the manner in which every club, with the exception of the Naps, has taken its turn at spurting, thereby keeping alive local interest—and the box office. By turns Detroit, Washington, Chicago, St. Louis, Boston, Philadelphia, and now New York, enjoyed a little flurry of success. The poor Naps have yet to take their dash and, it it feared, their case is too dead for even an eleventh-hour excitement to attract much financial attention around the circuit. The Chicago Sox's spurt came at a time when the Chifeds threatened to grab the town popularity. The Brown's good showing began early, when a failure might have given the "beds a chance to seat themselves firmly in the hearts of local fans, had they owned a real club. The Feds failed, which was another nice break for the big league. The Athletics did not show too strongly early in the game, thereby saving the slim attendances which a runaway race might have caused. Walter Johnson's weakening kept the senators from going too far to the front at a critical time. Altogether, it appears to have been an act-of-Providence sort of a year in both leagues, too. SNEEZES TO DISGUISE BALK Little White Sox Twirler Resorts to Novel Subterfuge to Trick Philadelphia Player. Eddie Cicotte is one of the charter members of the Order of the Kerocho, past master of the Hay Fever. Far from permitting a little thing like that to trouble him he makes use of it. He was pitching a game for the White Sox in Philadelphia and he per- Eddie Clotte. petrated a frightful balk. The umpire was just lifting his hand to call the balk when Eddie cut loose a kerchoo that started the flags flapping on the stands. "Balk nothing," yelled Eddie as he recovered. "I was sneezing." A few mome... later a runner reached first. Eddie commenced to make faces, distort his features and, right in the midst of a terrific sneeze he shot the ball to first and nipped the runner. PITTSBURGH HOLDS RECORD National League Team Played Game at Which There Were but Seventeen Paid Admissions. Baltimore is claiming the lightest attendance record in the history of professional baseball on the strength of the fact that only 26 paid admissions were registered at Orlole park recently when the Baltimore and Newark clubs played an International league game, but the Monumental city has missed its guess that the small gate is a record. Baltimore's showing has been beaten in professional baseball, and in a major league at that, the real record for all time having been hung up in Pittsburgh. During the war with the Brotherhood in 1890 the Pittsburgh National league team played one game at which there were only 17 paid admissions. SELECT ALL-CENTRAL TEAM Among Players Picked by Sport Writers is Fittery, Left-Hander, Now With Cincinnati. Ten sport writers over the Central League circuit have given President Helbroner lists showing their picks for an all-Central team. On the all-star team, as picked by the ten sporting editors, are four Evansville players, Knoll, Grefe, Baker and Fittery. The all-star team follows: Catcher, Vann, of Terre Haute; first baseman, Grefe, of Evansville; second baseman, Sheehan, of Terre Haute; shortstop, Stiel, of Grand Rapids; right fielder, DeHaven, of Dayton; left fielder, Knoll, of Evansville; center fielder, Stanley, of Springfield; right-hand pitcher, Stremmel, of Dayton; left-hand pitcher, Fittery, Evansville. Fane Four In One Inning In the fourth game of the New Orleans-Nashville series, Boland, pitching for Nashville fanned four men in one inning. Hendrix led off in the eighth and was called out on strikes. Starr was next up and took three swings. Barbare was next to strike out, but the third strike on him got away and he reached first base. Burns followed him and he took three swings and was out, retiring the side. --- Not Explosive, It Was at Least Valuable Freight, to Be Handled With Care. Not Explosive, It Was at Least Valuable Freight, to Be Handled With Care. By HARRY LILLY. Fuming and swearing, Ikey Lantern swing aboard the caboose of No. 23, local west, as she pulled out of Shacktown. Family troubles were hard enough on a man without any addition. He had an altercation with his daughter the night before over the eternal Hazenfritz question, and now, here, next to the caboose, was this car—with as many placards as a wedding trunk—Dynamite! High Explosives! Handle Carefully! Keep All Lights Away! Ikey's passion willed up and up until it reached the acme of anger. He was too angry to swear. For if there was one thing of which he was more afraid than of snakes, it was dynamite. Ikey usually waved his hand scornfully at the agent as his train ran by the station, but today he was too angry to administer the customary insult to his daughter's suitor. For three years George Hazenfritz had been trying to gain Ikey's consent to the match; and for two years Ikey had watched the morning passenger train, and after, as his local freight rumbled by, had given a mocking salute to Hazenfritz, the agent. There are but two passenger trains a day—one east and one west—over the branch of which Shacktown is one terminal, while Slowtown, the county seat, is the other. So when Ikey, having watched the morning train, pulled out with his way train, he knew that there was no possible chance for an elopement that day. On the next morning when Ikey was working east again, the conductor on the opposite run would watch the passenger even more zealously than Ikey himself. He was Ikey's choice for a son-in-law. Ikey turned over his bundle of waybills. There were bills for three cars whose contents were to be distributed at the various stations along the way. There were bills for two cars of kegs for the brewery, a car of sand for the foundry, a car of scrap from the Jew at Shacktown to the Jew at Slowtown, a car with a little jag of company's stuff, but not a scrap of paper that said a word about dynamite, or anything more dangerous than whisky. When the train stopped to unload freight at the first station out of Shacktown, Ikey made an inspection of the car. It was sealed and sidecarded from Shacktown to Slowtown, contents dynamite. Some one had sketched a death's head, in red ink, on the card. "That cursed Hazenfritz," muttered Ikey, as he signaled to go ahead. The long day wore on with its monotonous dropping of a car here, picking up another somewhere else, stopping at every fence corner to pick up, or unload, freight; and ever on key's mind was the dynamite car. Once, at a station half way up the run, he caught a fool brake striking a match to light his pipe on the door of the dynamite car. Another time, when making a shift, the engineer struck her so hard that key held himself down with both hands, expecting to go up any minute. Then he went forward and cursed the engineer, but this made things worse, for after that he hit her a bump whenever he could. It was dark when, at last, No. 23 pulled into Slowtown. "You're late, old man," remarked the agent, as key entered the office and throw down his bills. "Lucky to get in at all," snarled ikey. "Lucky we didn't take the sky route." "Why? What's the matter? Had any trouble?" asked the agent. "No, only some wooden-headed fool shipped up a car of explosives, dynamite, on our train; and every time that fool engineer struck her, he struck her harder than the last. Lucky, as I said, we didn't take the sky route." "A shipment of dynamite?" repeated the agent, taking up a message which he kept beyond the range of likey's vision. "We don't get any dynamite up this end. Where's the waybills?" he asked, as he turned over the bunch Ikey had just brought in. A faint smile played around his mustache as he spoke. "No bill did I see for it, but it's side-carded plainly enough," hissed Ikey. "Then, you couldn't expect Hazenfritz to make a side-card and a way-bill in one day." Another mysterious smile was half-born beneath the agent's mustache, but he said nothing. Ikey marched up town to his boarding house and the agent took a lantern and went out into the yard where the dynamite car stood. He broke the seal and, holding the lantern in the doorway, peered in. Evidently he was not afraid of dynamite. When Ikey reported for duty the next day, a shifter was setting out a car for his train. "What have you got in her this time?" he asked, in a jocular voice, as he proceeded to tear off one of the offending placards. "Hold on there!" cried the conductor of the shifter, pointing to the door. It was sealed and side-carved. ductor of the shifter, pointing to the door. It was sealed and side-carded. Ikey jumped three feet, and when he alighted let out a string of curses that was appalling. The side-card read "From Slowtown to Stringer Mines. Contents Dynamite." Stringer mines are on a little coal road which connects with the main branch at Shacktown. As Ikey tore into the office the bill clerk was making a memorandum bill for the dynamite car. "What kind of tub-headed idiots have you got in the offices of this road, anyhow?" he bellowed. "I hauled an infernal bottled volcano up here yesterday, and now you're sending it back again for fun." The agent stepped out of his private office and handed Ikey a message. It read: January 7, 1907. Shacktown, T. P. K. Slowtown, S. C. B. 6673 to you yesterday in error, return via train 24 today for Stringer mines. G. H. Ikey crumpled the message and tossed it into the waste basket. "I'll report that pig-headed Dutchman to headquarters at once," he screamed. On the return trip, Ikey, when duty did not require him to be on the alert, was meditating deeply. He was turning a question over and over in his mind, and as the train emerged from tunnel No. 6, a half mile west of Shacktown, he came to a conclusion. He would lick Hazenfritz. He would do it well, too, if it cost him his job. The desk at which Hazenfritz sat was near the door, and faced into the office. There was a screen behind him to protect him from the drafts of the door. Ikey would sneak up behind this and land him one that would lay him out. Then he would pound him until he was tired, or some one interfered. He would teach him not to send out dynamite cars on his train. Possibly the darned thing didn't contain dynamite. Perhaps it was an empty car that Hazenfritz had sealed and sent out for a joke, knowing that he was afraid of dynamite, and out of revenge, because he had refused to let him have his daughter. If that was the trick, he would see that they didn't have the laugh on him. The innocent looking shack up at Slowtown, he was in it, too, or why did he smile so queerly when the dynamite car came in? And what was in that message he held away from sight? Well, he would fix him, too; might as well while he was at it. As the train pulled into the station likely leaped off and crept up the office his. His lantern swung from his right hand. His left fist was doubled. Cautiously he peeped over the screen. He could just see the outline of a head on the other side. The lantern described a vicious circle in the air and—crash—caught a gaspie, white fragments of the globe fell around. Six feet of lusty manhood with a catlike spring and caught leye by the throat with one hand, then reached around and caught him by the back of the collar with the other. Letting go of his throat, but still retaining a hold on his collar he shot him out at arm's length, drew him back, shot him out again until his bones creaked. "You deserved old copper-faced Musculman"—jerk—"I knew you were a contemptible old sneak"—jerk again—"you have been all your days"—jerk once more—"but I didn't think you'd try to assassinate a man"—another jerk—"you didn't get the right man, either"—jerk again. Then he stopped for a moment as a terrible din, caused by the simultaneous blowing of three locomotive whistles and cheers from 24 throats was heard outside. "There, go take your medicine!" he bellowed as he shot ikey out of the door. "You lost the game, you cowardly old shack, you." Ikey, under the impetus given him by the foot of the muscular cashier of Shacktown, went clear across the platform, at the end of the freight house. He brought up on the edge of a group which opened and admitted him to its center. Right in front of him was the dynamite car, and on the crossing at the end of the freight house. There was a step ladder, dressed in bunting, in front of the door of the car. The car, also, had a strip of bunting from end to end. A man was assisting a woman in bridal costume to alight from the car. At the sight of her face ikey, wilted. It was his daughter and Hazenfritz. They had taken their wedding journey on his own train in the "dynamite car." Bone. At the urgent request of an umpire, the pitcher plodded his weary way to the clubhouse. "I lost my head, I guess," he vouchsafed, as he hesitated near his manager. "I saw a dog guawing something outside the gate," sympathized the manager—Puck. Victims "What's the matter with those two men over there who are swearing a blue streak and calling themselves a pair of blankety-blanked easy marks?" "They're comparing notes," "I don't understand." "Both indorsed paper for the same man." Just Right. "I see by the papers that large areas of land in Holland have been flooded to a depth of three feet as a precautionary measure." "That's a good idea. Too deep to march through and not deep enough for battleships." Putting Him In His Place. The Angel—Perhabs, when we are married, I might take a small part in the show. The Star—Don't worry, dear, your part will be small enough, as my husband—Puck. His Achievement. "Has he ever made good at anything?" "Yes, indeed." "What?" "Once he bet that he could eat 12 ears of corn at one sitting and he did." Three Kinds. "I wonder what would be the price of an omelet in Paris now?"

Bowie. The most cruel person be the world it is the one that puts mean ideas into a child's head. It is not that any same person really deliberately sits down and teaches a child devilment, hence the danger. The greatest danger danger and the most lasting injury is done by people who do not think. Of all the impotent excuses, "I didn't think" is the least. People who do not think have no greatest danger and danger the most lasting injury is done by people who do not think. Of all the impotent excuses, "I didn't think" is the least. People who do not think have no business with children, nor anything that is influenced by suggestion. The human soul is so allied to God that it is limitless in achievement, if it wills and is properly directed. Children are closer to God than most grown persons, because they have more faith and less duplicity. They know no limit to their ability and they are right. They know love and tenderness and respond to encouragement. There are some persons in the world that are a calamity to any child that comes in contact with them. Bound down by superstition, held immovable by ignorance of their kinship with God, and the consequent power, cowed by a few disappointments, they impregnate the atmosphere and chill every warm blooded spirit within reach. Sush people can and often do kill the chances of children for life. When in a fit of anger, or of despondency, you tell a child that it will never amount to anything you are taking the life of its spirit. Better by far kill it with a club than strangle its hopes and crush its dreams. It is our hopes and dreams that keep us alive—it is not what de do. Let it be said that you are crazy, that you steal, that you lie, that you drink and are absolutely worthless; but never let the stain of cripping a future be laid at your door. These other things do you harm, but to change the bright picture of a child is an unendenable sin. How can a child fight the battle of life when he has been told that he did not amount to anything? Most of the tragedies of life do not reach the papers; they are bound up in human hearts, that are sealed to all the world, and we wonder why so many people fail. Some one who did not think dropped a suggestion that was cruel and sharp; it burned its way into the soul and left an indelible impression—for the things that hurt make the deepest impression. Then fear, and loss of hope, and lack of confidence quickly sprout and the world is lost. The bright picture of the future is changed to comber hues, the soul is injured and the world knows another direlect because some one did not think.
