But he proves with his eighty thousand

very useful to his paper. IN France the

SMILES spree.

SMILES brought his two weeks
spr, & To /, close on Thursday night
He lay on the lounge in the parIor
feeling as mean as sour lager,
when something in the corner of
the room attracted his attention.
Raising on his elbow, he gazed
steadily at it. Rubbing his eyes,
he stared again, and, as he stared
his terror grew. Calm his wife,
he asked hoarsely:
"Mirandy, what is that?"
"What is what, Likey?"
Sniffie's name is Lycurgus, and
his wife calls him Likely for short
and sweet.

Here, catching another glimpse
of the terrible object, he ciutched
his wife and beggcd in piteous
tones,

Screw-Driving.

Very often a screw hole gets so
worn that the screw will not stay
in. Where glue is handy, the reg
ular carpenter makes the holes lar
ger and CLUES in a large plug, max
ing a nesl for an entirely pt'w hole
But this is not always The case, and
people without tools, and In an
emergency often have TO fix the
thing at once. Generally leather
Is used, but This is SO hard that IL
does not hold well. The best Of
all things is to cut narrow strips OF
cord, and fill the hole completely.
Then force the screw in. This will
make as tight a job as il driven I'M
to an entirely new hole.

Getting up in cold room 10
make fire is like getting up in life.
If you crawl timidly out of bed, 90
on tip-toe tc the stove, and allow
the shivers TO get control of you
before the kindling starts, your
fire will probably be a failure, and
you will half freeze TO death in the
operation. But il you jump out
bravely, hustle around, pull on
your clothes, knock over chair or
two, and pitch in the st0vewood,
you will probably be too warm by
the time | he fire gets 10 burning
and have 10 open a window. So IN
life AT ack 1t tiinidIy and you
will fail Grapple with it. hurry up
things, stir around, conquer fortune
and YOU will be a success.

The New Tariff and Tax Bill,
submitted from the Ways and
Means Committee to the House Of
Representatives, proposes 10 raise
about $50. 000, 600. This Is to be
accomplished by restoring the ten
per cent, taken off the duties on
manufactures Of cotton, woods,
irer and steel, paper, books, India
rubber, gutta pecha, glass, leather
etc; an additional duty Of % per
cent, On sugars and molasses; an
increase of cents per pound on
tobacco; an increase of the tax OH
spirits on hand Is cents and 80
cents on spirits manufactured after
the passage of the bill The bill
also provides for relieving match
es from tax, and the cessation at
the end Of the year of the stamp
tax on bank checks. Tea and cof-
fee will remain free Of duty. The
bill, Of course, has yet to pass
through the Congressional mill,
and will doubtless undergo sundry
changes before it becomesa law.

The winterof 1915, says the

long be remembered by the "old-
est inhahitant" as one OF the most
severe Of thu century. One who
has not noticed IN tho newspaper

the cold has hetii diffused, Is apt
to think that our own experience
has been an exceptional one. Bat
this is not true. Within the past
few days We have published re-

North American continent, show

storms In Now Mexico the other

reins, was taken off his box stone

tropical heats have given away to
uncomfortable cold, and snow falls
i'm unaccostomed places. CaIIi'or-
MIA plains arc flooded by frcshets,
and the mountains are buried in
snow. Although the overland
trains have not been delayed, the
cold along the Pacific railroad has
bee great. In Wyoming, spirits
concealed in the open air, and
snow-slides have caused much
loss Of life in Utah. The same Is
true Of Canada. Sandwich Island
