METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE PATIENT KILLED TWO ATTENDANTS UNDER ARREST Insane Inmate of County Institution Brutally Beaten By Guards. CLAIM DEATH WAS NEAR Victim Was Fifty-one Years Old and Paralyzed. Leonard of 1426 West Fourteenth street, a patient at the Dunning Insane Asylum, who was kicked and beaten by two of the attendants there, died Thursday afternoon. The attendants were arrested. One of them is said to have been intoxicated. They are charged with manslaughter. Says Death Was Near. Noll was 51 years old, and had entered the institution in May. He was suffering from general paralysis caused by insanity, and would have died within a week or two, according to Superintendent Dr. George Leininger, had he not been assaulted Dr. Leininger, at the inquest today, will testify against the two attendants, Clifton Avery and Daniel Walsh. The hearing of the charge of manslaughter is to be held today also Guards Angered by Patient Noll had become irritable, it is said. The attendants attempted to p'ease him. He grew angry, and they seized him to quiet him. He resisted, and thus angered the men. Other guards attracted by the aged man's cries rescued him. His jaw had been broken, and he was bruised on the head, arms, legs and body.—Illinois Idea. OBITUARY Mrs. Ada Jones, wife of Wallace Jones, died suddenly at her home Friday, late in the afternoon Jan. 14, 1916 of heart trouble it is thought. She had been in poor health for about eight years, but it was thought by her husband that she was regaining her health. She performed the busiest days work the day she died than she had done for some time. She had just finished eating supper and cleared away the things and went into the room where her husband was and had been lecturing her youngest son when was noticed to fall over to one side and soon was speechless from which she never recovered. She was the daughter of Mr. Austin and Mrs. Susan Calhoun, deceased. She was born in Paris, Tennessee. She was married to Wallace Jones Dec. 25, 1880 by the late Rev. Ferdinand Robinson. She professed religion during the pastorate of the late Rev. F. T. Harvey, and joined the St Paul A. M E. church. She was a devoted wife, kind and loving mother, and a good neighbor one who attended strictly to her own affairs, was respected by all who knew her and was loved as well as she was respected. She died in the full triumph of faith. In her death, the husband has lost a friend, the children, a sympathing mother, the brothers a tender and compassionate sister. She leaves to mourn their loss, a husband, three sons, two daughters, two brothers, a grand daughter and a host of relatives and friends The funeral was attended at St. Paul A M. E. church, Sunday afternoon at 2:00. Rev. J. H. Smith, Pastor and Rev. J. B. McCrary, officiating. Interment in the Kidd Cemetery. Peace to her dust. DRUNKEN WOMEN FIGHT WITH KNIVES One Dead, Other Badly Lacerated. Stella McCray, Colored was stabbed and mortally wounded by Grace Criley, another woman during a quarrel at Md. City, about 8:30 Saturday night. She died one hour later from the effects of the wounds. Both were intoxicated at the time, and it is believed that the whole trouble was the result of a drunken row. A large crowd gathered around the women, but little information as to the cause of the trouble could be gotten from any of them. All of onlookers denied any knowledge of the trouble except that the two women were drinking when the row started. The McCray woman was stabbed three times in the chest and body, and if bystanders had not separated the women when they did, both might have been killed as both had knives and were stabbing at one another. The Criley woman had several bad cuts about the face and head, but none of her wounds were of a dangerous nature, however, and she was locked up, after the doctor had dressed her wounds. Statement from both women were conflicting, both accusing the other of being the instigator of the trouble. The fact that both were intoxicated, lead to the belief that trouble started over some minor difficulty. The Criley woman made no attempt to escape, following the crime. It is not known what kind of defense she will make, and until the facts are brought out at the trial, very little about the origin of the trouble will be known. No one seemed to know of any previous trouble between the two women, and it is therefore, considered very likely that the trouble originated in a drunken brawl.—Baptist Truth. Notice. Dewmaine. Ill..

Hausbahn Ertlschober "Strange what a difference there is," said the household philosopher, "between things we need and things we want. There are many things we need in the house, but never can find the money for, while somehow we can always find the money for things we want that we personally fancy." --- Examine Your Own Prejudice. Every one is forward to complete of the prejudices that mislead other men or parties, as if he were free and had none of his own. This being objection on all sides, it is agreed that it is fault and a hindrance to knowledge. What now is the cure? No other but this, that every man should in all others prejudices and examine his own. The only way to remove this great cause of ignorance and error out of the world is for every and impartiality to examine himself-focks. "I'ts a lucky thing foh de human race," said Ucle Eben.

Rather, it was a neglected back yard criss-crossed with clotheslines, bounded by two neat brick walls on either side and a shabby bricky laundry shed at the back which gave upon an alley. The rear of Mrs. Frick's boarding house formed the fourth boundary, and from her window on the fourth floor Elaine Rogers could look down on the bleak squalliness of the neglected rectangle and compare it, most unfavorably, with the green loveliness of the one next door. "Why don't I have a garden?" Mrs. Frick replied when Elaine questioned her. She laughed harshly. "And who would be getting three meals a day, eh? Suppose you all came in to dinner and found no dinner at all and me mincing around in a garden! 'Come into my garden and eat by smelling of my flowers!' I'd say, Humph!" she ended contemptuously. Elaine said no more about gardens, but she continued to look wistfully down at the neglected space and dream of what might be done with it if— "I if had money enough," she sighed, but there never was money enough to spare from her salary as kindergarten teacher. Elaine was quite alone in the world and this was her first year at self-support. She had not known that boarding houses could be so drear, food so unappetizing, landlades so hardened to anything that approached beauty. "How absurd I am!" she exclaimed. "Sitting here and wishing will not bring things to me. I must go out after them. Now, shall I attack Mrs. Frick's back yard. No! But I can have a window garden of my very own and this southern exposure will be just the thing." The next Saturday found Elaine, singing like a lark, arranging pots of geraniums and ferns and ivy on the wide sill of her solitary window. She had placed the last plant and was leaning out to arrange some falling sprays of ivy when something happened—something that brought a frightened exclamation from her lips and caused the young man walking in the garden next door to glance up with a startled expression of his pale face. The tiniest potted geranium of a sweet-smelling variety went hurtling down toward him. "Look out!" warned Elaine, but he did not move and the little flower pot sped to its mark between his eyes. Elaine covered her own eyes for a moment. When she withdrew her hands the man was lying prostrate and a man-servant was bending over him. Elaine flew down the stairs to the front sidewalk and hastened into the area of the house next door. Here all was specklessly neat and bearing evidence of well-to-do occupants. She rang the basement bell and a flurried-looking maid admitted her. "A flower pot fell from my window and I am afraid it has injured the young man who was in the garden," hurriedly explained Elaine. The maid nodded. "Mr. Arthur is in the dining room. miss. James is dressing the wound while he waits for the doctor." "Oh, is he so badly hurt?" breathed Elaine. "It bleeds frightfully, miss. It struck him fairly between the eyes," explained the girl. "It seems so strange that he did not move out of the way. He seemed to be looking straight at it." "Mr. Arthur is blind, miss," said the maid gravely. "Blind!" cried Elaine pityingly. "Oh, no—how dreadful!" There was a murmur of voices in the next room and a man appeared with a roll of bandages in his hand. "Mr. Arthur wishes to know who is here. Mary?" he said. "The young lady next door. She came to see if he was badly hurt. It was her flower pot that fell." "Please ask her to come in here, Mary," said a man's impatient voice, and in response the three of them hastened to enter the open door of the dining room. Elaine's victim was lying on a broad leather-covered couch and James' skillful hands had neatly bandaged his eyes. Elaine could only see a fine forehead, with dark hair brushed smoothly back, the end of a handsome nose and firm, well-cut lips. "I am so upset!" she breathed impetuously. "That's the voice!" he cried excitedly. "You were singing," he went on eagerly. "Yes," she replied. Yes, she replied. "You sounded so happy—I was wishing I could see you—my confounded eyes—" he ended abruptly. "And I have made them worse," trembled Elaine, very near tears. "Hardly—the earth and the plant were toosened from the pot and struck me first, breaking the blow of the pot itself. Doctor Hurd will fix that up in a trice. Tell me what you were doing, please." Elaine sat down and told him about her window garden and how it had been inspired by his own well-kept plot next door. He listened eagerly and nodded his head many times as if he understood just how she felt about boarding houses and back yards that ought to be gurdous and persisted in being back yards. By the time she had finished, the doctor arrived and she listened palpitatingly to his report. "A bad bruise—it won't help the eyes any," growled the physician. Elaine turned to go. There was nothing she could do save to express her contraction for the accident. The doctor looked at her severely, the maid was quite haughty and James wore a look of stern disapproval. The door closed behind her and then Arthur Pierce lifted his head. "The young lady," murmured the maid. "She didn't say anything," protested Arthur; "she went away without a word." "She was crying, I think, sir," explained Mary. "Crying—and for me?" He jumped up and paced the floor restlessly. Later in the day, he told Mary to go and ask Mrs. Frick for the name of the girl who had the window garden. Mrs. Frick cheerfully supplied the name, but of Elaine's present whereabouts she professed profound ignorance. "I told her I wouldn't have any messing around with flowers and that my neighbors would be suing me for damages what with her carelessness in dropping flower pots about, and so she packed her trunk and went away—good riddance I say." When Mary repeated this conversation to her master, Arthur frowned blackly, "If I hadn't been out there listening to her singing, the pot would not have landed between my inquisitive eyes," he groaned. Three times during the ensuing week Elaine telephoned an inquiry concerning Arthur's injury, and when Mary told her the last time that all traces of its had disappeared the inquiries ceased. It was six months after that when Arthur Pierce walking through the street heard Elaine's voice once more. She was singing the same song and with her voice there blended a score of childish trebles. The kindergarten was a tiny, low-roofed building, with casement windows opening upon a sunny garden. Arthur leaped the fence and crossed the grass to the open window. With arms on the sill and his hat tucked under his arm, he listened, staring with all his might at the girl whose face he had never seen before, but whose voice had charmed him by its sweetness during long hours while he had gone about with eyes bandaged after a delicate operation to save his vision. Now he could actually see her and she was as fair as her voice. He used to marvel how anyone could live in Mrs. Frick's dreary domain and sing so cheerily. Round-eyed children eyed him with amusement as they sang and it was a gurgle of merriment that attracted Elaine's attention. Her voice ended suddenly and the childish voices trailed into silence. "What do you want?" she asked gravely. "I heard your voice singing," he said humbly, "and I wanted to actually see you." "Oh, are you Mr. Pierce. Won't you come in?" He came in and Elaine gave him a seat on the low platform. "You can see?" she said gladly. He explained the nature of his temporary blindness. "I'm glad it happened," he said bluntly. "If it hadn't I never should have met you." "Some day I shall have a real garden—with worms and caterpillars and everything," she laughed to cover her confusion. "I'm sure you will," he said with sudden gravity. The next day he bought an old-fashioned place in the suburbs. For months he supervised its repairs and remodeling, and one October day he took Elaine to see it and asked her to be his wife. "I really can't resist this lovely garden," she said, with a happy smile. (Copyright, 1915, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Should It Be True? Here's some strange news. A scientist says that women are talking less, and if the decline keeps up the women of 2900 will forget to use their only weapon. "Women are not the persistent, animated conversationalists that they were twenty years ago," says the learned man. "Take, for instance, women in restaurants and at public places of all kinds, where they are seen freely moving about with men. Everywhere you see the men taking not only their own share in the conversation, but even leading it in many cases. At receptions, too, and at public dinners, the fair sex seems, for some time now, to be letting the reins of conversation slip from their hands. One explanation for this queer state of affairs is that women, with their growing interest in outside doings, in business and politics and in the strenuous pursuits of careers independent of men, are becoming more and more absorbed." And only the other day a man sued for separation because his wife had a habit of waking him up in the dead of night to nag him. Remote Possibility. "Gadson is a crank about chimneys. He has all sorts of more or less artistic chimneys rising from his country home." "What's the idea?" "I don't know, but he seems to be an optimist." "In what particular?" "He evidently doesn't think his place will ever be a target for Zoppeins." METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Persons interested in the education of the colored youth in Washington recently had an opportunity to see a quadruplex exhibit showing what is being done in the way of training colored boys and girls. The fourfour exhibit was at the Miner Normal school, Georgia avenue and Euclid street, northwest. The greater portion of it was work done on the playgrounds during the summer; added to this were models showing dairy, water supply, housekeeping and other methods, sanitary and insanitary. The remaining two phases were in one sense not an exhibit of a formal nature, being only the regular arrangement of material for study by students at the normal school and included the courses in domestic and other sciences, such as botany, zoology and psychology. Interested persons were made welcome at the school and shown the exhibits and school equipment. No group of the exhibit was more interesting, probably, than the display of playground work. This represented all of the industrial activities of the five colored school grounds under Miss Anita J. Turner. "Service" is the motto for all work turned out—that is, it must be of a character and structure that allows its use. For instance, on display were all sorts of baskets, well made and attractively colored; pocketbooks, crocheted sacks and bootes, aprons, little dresses, collars, dolles, hats, napkin rings and hammocks. Several girls attending the play centers brought their dolls and dressed them. Play aprons for children were made by the youngsters and decorated with subjects dear to the hearts of little ones—the three bears, the cow that jumped over the moon, rabbits, birds, camels, elephants and Mother Goose. One especially attractive display was for table use. It included a centerpiece adapted for the joint use of flowers and fruit; dollles, reed napkin rings and coasters. Because of the lack of money for material, work of this sort is limited. It is hoped that congress will appropriate a sum for carrying it on, so that the maintenance money no longer will have to be raised through entertainments and other similar means. Mrs. Susan Gillies, a Negro woman, who, according to the claim of her relatives, was born a slave, on a plantation in Virginia 115 years ago, died at her home, 571 Classon avenue, Brooklyn. The aged Negress lived with her daughter; Mrs. Julia Thomas, eight-four years of age, and her great-granddaughter, Mrs. Ella Abbott. Five generations of Mrs. Gillies' family attended her funeral. Mrs. Thomas was very positive as to the age of her mother. She declared that she was born in the year 1800, at Peterborough, Va., on the Peterson plantation, and lived in servitude with the Peterson family until 1863. Mrs. Thomas declared that her mother often told her of visits paid to the plantation by James Monroe before and after his terms as president of the United States. Mrs. Thomas was born on the same plantation and she also lived in slavery until 1863. There are about 12,000 cremations each year in the United States. The first cremation was established in 1876 and during the eight succeeding years only 28 human bodies were cremated. In a communication to the New York World A. J. Casserly of Jersey City, N. J., writes as follows: I read with considerable interest your editorial "Some Native Sons." In these days of criticism of hyphenated citizens your reference to a class of citizens which is content to be plain, pure, simple Americans, furnishes some food for serious thought. You have rightly said that "one of the strongest of their racial characteristics is devotion to country and home." This virtue has been manifest long prior to and since the days of Jethro of the land of Midian. History reports the view that the black man has always proven true to home and country. God forbid that the great mass of American Negroes should boast unseemly of our forefathers' devotion and worth, or of their own. Pre-eminently on the pages of history is emblazoned the fact that in no crisis has the black man been found wanting in devotion to right or in seeking out and supporting the truth as it was given to him to know it. Apropos of this discussion, it may Liverpool has the world's largest dry dock, 1,020 feet long and 155 wide at the water line, the only one in the world large enough to receive 50,000 ton liners. American manufacturers of lead pencils now have the business of the far East practically to themselves. An electrically operated tremolo attachment for stringed instruments has been invented which produces the desired effects when buttons are pressed. If he (Booker Washington) seemed to underemphasize the difficulties growing out of external political and social restriction, it was rather due to his unceasing cry that the kingdom of power and wealth and dignity can rest finally only on spiritual achievement, self-control, foresight, thrift, the practice of the common virtues. No breaking out of the outer bonds can alone free the spiritual slave. . . . No one could hear him with an open mind, however, and fall to realize that his message was equally applicable to the white race. No one could fall to realize that he saw the weakness of his white neighbors and felt the bitterness of the political and social restrictions enforced by the whites. Booker T. Washington was, however, always more than a Negro—obly human within his race—and because of this, the simple people of his own race, the heartiest of both races, heard and followed. He had many great human qualities of leadership, of organizing capacity, of oratorical power, and of imagination. But his contribution is richer because of gifts peculiar to his people. That rare humor, the exquisite sense of another's feeling that is the basis of social power, rich vocabulary, high emotional appeal! American life would be so enormously enriched if we thought in terms of what colored people can do instead of what they must be prevented from trying to do! And so his contribution to the thinking of the white South has not always been clear. Though the least thoughtful realized that he was not a "common Nigger" to be called "Booker," they did not always arrive at the point of recognizing the dignity of the man by calling him "mister;" but they could find a middle path by calling him "professor." For thousands of white persons that short step is the first advance in the direction of freeing their own spirits. For, of course, the race or caste feeling is a band tight. about the spirits of the white South, to many of whom Booker T. Washington gave the first glimmering sense of their own bondage. For these, his service is incalculable, one never to be measured, and to be recognized only gradually and by relatively few. And yet, as the nation could not live half bond and half free in the days of political slavery, so in the days to come the spiritual bonds of prejudice are to be broken from the white South, as those to which he called attention are to be stricken from the black South. Only when both are removed will either be wholly free.—Sophonisba P. Breckinridge in the Survey. There are about 427 Negro schools in the United States, other than elementary public schools and public high schools, or those in any sense under government and state control. Of these, 57 are put down as colleges and universities. All but three of the fifty-seven are avowedly denominational. Of the 16 institutions for Negro women only all but three are accredited to some denomination. Of the 354 normal, industrial and private schools all but 80 are reported as denominational. The first president born in the United States of America after the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the establishment of national unity was Martin Van Buren, who was born in the state of New York in 1782. not be amiss to refer to the agitation of a few years ago, begun by loyal American Negroes, for participation in the National Guard service of the country. I submit that no just reason may be advanced why there should not be in every state of this Union colored regiments or battalions connected with the National Guard system. To such a program the rank and file of American Negroes would, ignoring past rebuffs, unconditionally subscribe.

Now He Knows How It Feels to Have to Listen to a Long, Prosy Harrangue Delivered Much as Parrot Talks. Having succeeded in gaining access to the lawyer's private office without disclosing the object of his call, the agent for the greatest history of the world ever compiled started in to gain the favorable attention of his prospective customer. "'Histories make men wise,' Lord Bacon said," began the salesman, and—" "I see," interrupted the lawyer, "that you have called to invite my attention to the desirability of adding to my library a set of someone's superlatively marvelous history of the world, bound, no doubt in cloth, in sheepskin and in full moreco. "You have told me that Bacon says histories make men wise," he continued, "and no doubt you will tell me, also, that Bollingbroke said 'History is philosophy teaching by examples,' that Lamartine said 'History teaches everything, even the future,' that Cleerow said 'Not to know what has been happening in former times is to continue always a child,' and that Carlyle said, 'History is a mighty drama enacted upon the theater of time, with suns for lamps and eternity for a background.'" "When you have finished quoting these more famous gentlemen you will no doubt begin then to give me some of your own reasons why I should no longer deprive myself of the liberal education to be gained by the mere association with such a set of books as you have done me the honor to introduce. "There are several reasons why I do not care to subscribe," the lawyer proceeded, "but I scorn to reply to the eminent authorizes you have quoted by simply giving the opinions and reasons of an obscure twentieth century New York lawyer. Instead, permit me to remind you that Napoleon said, 'What is history but a fable agreed upon?' Also that Goethe said, 'Sin writes history; goodness is silent.' Likewise that Voltaire wrote 'History is little else than a picture of human crimes, and misfortunes.' Furthermore that Lord Chesterfield said, 'History is only a confused heap of facts.' And, lastly, that Horace Walpole wrote, 'Anything but history, for history must be false.' "I thank you for your kind attention," concluded the lawyer, "and I trust you will encounter no difficulty in finding your way out." Ovens Are Capacious. Since the Dyckman farmhouse at Broadway and Two Hundred and Forty-second street, New York, has been turned over to the city, visitors are flocking there to view this old relic of the old Dutch days and its immense Dutch ovens. In restoring the house to the form and detail of the time when the great-grand-daddies of the Holland society boys used to visit Jan Dyckman, the architect had workmen with pickaxes break through the wall in the basement kitchen on either side of the fireplace, and the ovens, black with the bakings of centuries, were disclosed. People who live the gay kitchenette life have little idea of the size of a Dutch oven, and just no idea at all of how many five-cent loaves of bread can be crowded into one of them. About fifty loaves may be stowed away in the ovens. All of which shows that the good old Dutch did not have stingy ideas about the appearance of the baking. Twisting a Message One of the methods of communicating from one officer to another in the trenches of the present great war is to give the message to one of the privates and tell him to "pass the word along" the line until it reaches its destination, viz., the officer at the other end. The following story will show how a serious message can be distorted on its journey from mouth to mouth. Lieutenant A.. in charge of one end of the British line, told the private in front to "pass the word along" to Lieutenant B.: "We are going to advance; can you send us re-enforcements?" When Lieutenant B. received the message it was like this: "We are going to a dance; can you lend us three and fourpence?" - Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. Marines to Carry Canes. Maj. Gen, Commandant George Barnett of the United States Marine corps has sanctioned the carrying of swagger sticks by marines when ashore in uniform or out of garrison.

They don't care for pains and aches, they don't care for the backbreaking stooping over washboards. We discovered that by combining certain oils with the soaps in the wash boiler that the cloth turtles open up, the oil will do the work no rubbing. These oils were combined in wax-like sticks, round, about seven inches long by one inch in diameter and divided into two portions, each portion enough for the average washing. "After a two weeks washing had collected I was compelled to do the washing. So I tried Magic Washing Stick.

Some months ago the Department of the Interior, at Ottawa, Canada, wrote to those in the United States who were owners of land in Western Canada that was not producing, advising that it be put under crop. The high prices of grain and their probable continuance for some years should be taken advantage of. Cattle and all the produce of the farm commanded good figures, and the opportunity to feed the world was great, while the profits were simply alarming. The Department suggested that money could be made out of the idle lands, lands that could produce anywhere acre. A number took advantage of the suggestion. One of these was an Illinois farmer. He owned a large quantity of land near Culross, Manitoba. He decided to put one thousand acres of it under wheat. His own story, written to Mr. C. J. Broughton, Canadian Government Agent at Chicago, is interesting. "I had 1,000 acres in wheat near Culross, Manitoba. I threshed 24,000 bushels, being an average of 34 bushels to the acre. Last Spring I sold my foreman, Mr. F. L. Hill, 240 acres of land for $9,000, or $37.50 per acre. He had saved up about $1,000, which he could buy seed with, and have the land harrowed, drilled and harvested, and put in stock or shock. "As a first payment I was to take all the crops raised qd. When he threshed he had 8,300 bushels of wheat, which is worth in all $1.00 per bushel, thereby, paying for all the land that was in wheat and more, too, there being only 200 acres in crop. If the 240 acres had all been in wheat he could have paid for it all and had money left." That is a story that will need no corroboration in this year, when no matter which way you turn, you learn of farmers who had even higher yields than these. G. E. Davidson of Manitou, Manitoba, had 36 acres of breaking and 14 acres of older land. He got 2,186 bushels of wheat, over 43 bushels per acre. Walter Tukner of Darlington, Manitoba, had 3514 bushels off a 60 acre field, or over $58\frac{1}{2}$ bushels per acre. Party acres was breaking and 20 acres summer fallow. Wm. Sharp, formerly Member of Parliament for Liagar, Manitoba, had 80 acres of wheat on his farm near Maniton, Manitoba, that went 53 bushels per acre. One of the most remarkable yields in this old settled portion of Manitoba was that of P. Scharf of Maniton, who threshed from 15 acres the phenominal yield of 73 bushels per acre. These reports are but from one district, and when it is known that from almost any district in a grain belt of $30,000 square miles, yields while not as large generally as those quoted, but in many cases as good, is it any wonder that Canada is holding its head high in the air in its conquering career as the high wheat yielder of the continent? When it is pointed out that there are millions of acres of the same quality of land, that has produced these yields, yet unbroken, and may be had for filling upon them as a homestead, or, in some cases may be purchased at from $12 to $30 an acre from railway companies or private land companies, it is felt that the opportunity to take part in this marvelous production should be taken advantage of by those living on land much higher in price, and yielding innately less.—Advertisement.

CAP and BELLS Jack, Completely Out of Patience With Whole Tribe of Women, Calls on Father for Help. Jack disliked being kissed. One day he was kissed a lot. Then, to make matters worse, on going to the picture palace in the evening, instead of his favorite Indian and cowboy pictures, there was nothing but a lot more hugging and kissing. He returned home completely out of patience with the whole tribe of women. After he had been tucked into bed his mother came to kiss him good-night. He refused. Mother begged and begged till at last, in disgust, he turned to his father, who was standing in the doorway, and said: "Daddy, for heaven's sake, give this woman a kiss!" The Pessimist—it is only a matter of time until the land in this country will not produce enough to support the increasing population. The Optimist—Oh, don't let that worry you.

"People say this man could have had any office he wanted, but he chose private life." "Don't you believe that, my son," said the veteran campaigner. "Many a man gets the credit for refusing all political preferment when, as a matter of fact, he merely had sense enough to know that he could not get the one job he'd set his heart on." Might Be Worse. "You see before you," said the mel- ancholy man, "a plaything of fate." "What's the matter with you?" asked his friend.

ILL DOING MORE THAN HIS SHARE Laborer at Bottom of Well Not Willing to Perform Give of Ten —Rather Give Orders. Two laborers were engaged to deepen a well which had become dry. One of them sent his mate down into the well while he sat at the top and directed the work. He first ordered the other man to "dig a bit on this side," then "dig a little more on that side," until the latter, tired of both the work and the orders, exclaimed: "You sit up there and use your tongue while I have to do all the work!" "One man here giving directions," said the man at the top, "can do as much as ten men down there." Thereupon his mate threw down his pick and climbed up beside the other man. "What are you doing here?" inquired the latter. "Two men up here," answered his mate. "can do as much as twenty down there." Wistful Waiting "No." replied the melancholy man. "It's great sport." "I haven't found it so. In fact, it has a very bad effect on me." "Impassable!" "True, nevertheless. Fish seldom bite fast enough to require my undivided attention and the longer I sit and watch a cork the more I'm inclined to brood over my troubles." A Corpulent One. "It's rather curious about the Gadsby." "Yes?" "They have a family skeleton." "Nearly all families do." "But the funny part about it is that the Gadsby family skeleton is a relative of Mr. Gadsby, who once traveled about the country as a fat woman in a side show." A man and a woman in a kitchen.

"He doesn't always succeed, though." "I thought him rather shrewd." "Oh, the man who swaps dollars with him usually pays 20 per cent for the privilege, but whenever Mrs. Scadson gives a party, so far as Scadson is concerned, it's a dead loss." Gosh, How He Dreads It! "When your wife gets the ballot, are you prepared to accompany her to the poll?" "Not yet," answered the timorous man. "But give me a little time.

"Do you think mirrors will be placed in voting booths for the women voter?" in voting booths for the woman voter? "I hardly think so," replied the practical politician.

"What was the subject of the lecturer's address?" "Peace at Any Price." "Did he prove his case?" "The audience was rather small and he cut out some of his most eloquent periods because he failed to get his price." What We've Come To.

"Fine! He's taking life easy since he graduated." NO ROMANCE IN BUSINESS? Treasurer of a Big Powder Company is a Living Denial of the Statement. A few years ago the man who was the dominant interest in a certain big powder company happened to be in Dayton, O., on business, writes Edwin Lefevre in the Saturday Evening Post. He got on a trolley car there and gave the conductor a five-dollar bill. The conductor didn't happen to have the change, as he had just taken in another large bill from a passenger, so he told his fare please to wait until he could make change. The powder man arrived at his corner and got off, forgetting the change that was coming to him. Several months afterward he again found himself in Dayton on business, and again took a trolley to reach his destination. Before the powder man could find the nickel the conductor said with a pleasant smile, "You're not going to give me another five-dollar bill and forget your change, are you? It's been waiting for you." The powder man entered into conversation with the conductor, became interested in the young man and offered to give him a job with the powder company. The conductor accepted. He was young, married and had several children. Also he was a street car conductor. It isn't very long ago that he was ringing fares on a Dayton trolley car; today he is treasurer of the powder company and has put through some of the big deals. Two or three months ago the company had $23,000,000 in cash and looked for investments. The directors appointed a committee to invest the money. The treasurer was intrusted by the committee with the job and bought large blocks of stocks in companies that have been turning out war material. These large investment purchases have so reduced the floating supply of many of these stocks that it is easy to understand why relatively small buying orders can cause fluctuations of thirty or forty points. The former street car conductor, I am told, is worth today $5,000,000. No romance, what! Peculiarity of French Flag. It is not generally known that the three strips of color that make up the French national flag are not equal in width. When the tricolor was first authorized, 1732, the positions and proportions of the three colors were not stated, and such a variety of flags was seen that two years later the national assembly declared that the national standard should be formed of "the three national colors in equal bands placed vertically, the hoist being blue, the middle white, and the fly red." For years the flag was made in this way, but though the bands were equal, they never looked equal owing to an optical illusion, the blue appearing wider than the white, and the white wider than the red. At last, after many experiments, it was officially decided that in every hundred parts the blue should be thirty, white thirty-three and red thirty-seven. The Optimist. Gilman Hall, magazine writer of New York, said of the war: "It doesn't pay to be optimistic in considering this horrid war. Yes, it's a pretty rotten world that will stand for a war like this. "Optimists, anyway, come to a bad end. A preacher in a poorhouse said as he buried an optimist the other day: "'Ah, what an optimist the world loses in deceased! Once he failed in business, but thanked heaven he had his health. Another time he failed in health, but thanked heaven he had his business. Then, just before he entered here, he failed in health and business simultaneously and said: "'Oh, well, what good is the one without the other?" — Washington Star. Shark Pulls Man's Tooth. The shark commonly known as the "hog shark" in native waters is now fully qualified as a dentist; or, in other words, the big fish recently pulled a molar in real approved style.

One trouble with us in the South is that we think too much about a bank as being a place to get money in, instead of as a place to put money in; and it would be better, as Doctor Butler recently suggested, if we said that it is "a rural banking system" that we need rather than a rural credit system—for it must embody the deposit and saving feature as well as the credit and borrowing feature—From the Progressive Farmer.

IS BUILDING FOR POSTERITY Wonderful Possibilities Confront Woman When She Enters Into the Marriage Relation. When a woman enters the marriage relation, her sphere of influence is at once extended, and her horizon is no longer bound by the people and circ- umstances of the moment. She is building for posterity. In the joy and thoughtfulness which character- izes her mind in the new relation there is a prophecy of unborn genera- tions. Her life is to color other lives; her aspirations are to fix, to a great extent, the position and future of husband and family. If she is cultured, pure and refined, these qualities will characterize the home which she creates. The higher the degree of her culture, her purity, her refinement, the more will these qualities characterize the home of which she is the center. The personality that a woman takes with her in her marriage is her real dower. If her dower can be reckoned in numerals only, no matter how many they be, wrecked, indeed, will be her husband, impoverished her children. But if she possesses industry, gentleness, self-abnegation, purity and intelligence, combined with capability, she is in herself a treasure of treasures.—New York Weekly.
