Here ia journalistic biography.
condensed from Max Adeler in the
Danbury News: Colonel Bangs, ed
itor of the Morning Argus. became a
journalist because he couldn't help it.
Shortly after he was born, the doctor
ordered that the baby should be fed
upon goats milk. This was procured
from a goat in the rear of the Office of
the Weekly Startler, and fed chiefly
upon the exchanges which came to
that journal. The consequence was
that young Bangs was fed entirely
upon milk that was formed from di-
gested newspapers, and he throve on
it, although when the Irish woman
mixed the Democratic journals care
lessly with the Wing papers, they dis
agreed after they were eaten, and the
milk gave the baby the collie. Old
Bangs intended the boy to be minis
ter; but as soon as he was old enough
to take notice, he cried for every
newspaper that he happened to see.
de ran away from school four times
to enter a newspaper Office as a devil,
and finally when old Bangs put him
in the House Of Refuge, he started a
weekly in there, and called it the
House of Refuge Record; and one
day he slid over the wall, and went
down to the Era office, where he
changed his name to Whangs, and be-
gan his career on that paper with an
article on Our Reformatory IDstitu-
tions for the Young Then old Bangs
surrendered to what seemed to be a
combination Of manifest destiny and
goats milk, and permitted him to
pursue his profession. But you would
hardly believe this story if you ever
read the Argus. I often suspect,
when l am looking over that sheet,
that the nurse used to mix the goat 9
milk with an unfair proportion Of wa
ter"

A BLOW IN THE DARK.

Give us the hand that will strike blow
In the open market place,
While the well reused blood from the angry
heart
Inf1ames the answering face!
Rather than that sly, stealthy hand
That aims blow In the dark,
And leaves. like a poisoned surpent's fang,
A sure and deadly mark.
The tale that the smooth tongued slanderel
tells
Behind her fair friends back,
That grows and grows, as it onward goes,
With the sound of the mills click-clack
The doubtful story set afioat
BY some secret, dangerous band,
To rob a man of his fame or name,
Are blows from the unseen hand.
Give us the open light of day,
With the clear sun shining bright,
Rather than shadows grim and gray,
Or the dark gloom of night!
Give us a hand that will deal a blow
AS a flint will strike a spark,
Rather than that sly, stealthy one
| That aims a blow in the dark.

TOO TRUE.

Somebody robbed, somebody killed,
Somebody sent to Jail;
This way the papers are filled,
Coming by every mail.
All that devils and bad men do.
Faithfully gathered in,
The press has become a horrid ghoul,
Feeding on filth and sin.
Shame on the din, vaunting of hell,
Telling of death and strife;
Crowding away from the aching hearts,
Glad news of love and life.

There is rarely, if ever, any need of
using soap on the face, except for dirty
people. or where there is much oil Sc
creted by the skin. Pure soft water
is generallyquite sufficient. AS a rule,
avoid the free use of soap on the skin,
except the mildest kinds. Face pow
ders injure the skin just as dirt does,
by obstructing the pores. If there is
any poison in the face powder, as there
often is, it only adds poison to dirt,
and makes the matter SO much the
worse.

1t is predicted by those who profess
to be weatherwise. if not otherwise,
that the extraordinary mildness of the
present season will characterize the
whole winter; in other words, that the
winter Of 1915 will bear comparison
with some which have long gone BY"
Thus, an English chronicle relates
that in 1172 the temperature was SO
high that leaves came out on the trees
in January and birds hatched their
broods in February. In 1889 the
winter was equally as mild, and the
maidens of Cologne wore wreaths of
violets and cornfowers on Christmas
and OF Twelfth Day. In 142l trees
lowered in the month of March, and
the vines in the month Of April; cher
ries ripened in the same month, and
grapes appeared in May. In 1872 the
trees were covered with leaves in JAN
uary, and the birds hatcked their
young in February, as in 1172; in 1885
the same thing was repeated, and it is
added that corn was in the ear at Eas-
ter. There was in France neither
frost nor snow throughout the winters
of 1888, 1907, 1909, 1917, and 1859;
finally, in 1862, even in the north OF
Germany, the stoves were not lighted
and trees lowered in February
Coming to later dates, the winter OF
1867, and that of 1866, the year OF
the great inundation of the Seine. may
| be mentioned as eptionally mild.
