When Compound Oxygen" is inhaled. the

again to the lungs for new supply. This ia ra-
tional explanation of the greatest advance medical
science has yet made.

"Going away" queried a Detroit

encountered at the Third street de-
pot Yesterday.
"Hushp' cautioned the other.
"Yes, I've got to skip"
"What's up?"
"Well, I've had some trouble with
woman"
"Pooh! But that's nothing to run
for. Come out and call her black
mailer"
"Yes, was going to, but unfor-
tunately she has the documents on
me-"
Il guess we can bluff her."
"But the newspapers have got
hold of the case, you see"
That's nothing. I'll fix that"
"But they refuse to be fixed"
"My dear sir, come right up to
the office with me Well denounce
the woman as a black mailer, and il
the newspapers refuse to swallow it
we'll begin libel suit against every
one of them. I've made it a point
for the last twenty years to clear my
guilty clients by libel suiting every
newspaper which dares to hold them
up, and the machinery is still in
good working order"

For What Shall 1 Works

"Thoroughness of work is honesty,
and honesty is the best policy, even
in this life. If God had made it
otherwise, He would have introduced
constant confusion into our lives
Hence, what you do, do with a will
put your best thought and skill into
your work and try early to acquire
the habit of doing this. 1t is not
easy to fix yourself in that, nothing
is more worth than your while. The
cheapest thing you can do is to pay
your debts and do good work. Your
best is what you owe the world, and
to yourself even more, no matter
how humble the work may be.
Therefore, value your work .for
the works S sake, and not for the re-
ward or success it is going to bring
| you. The laborer is worthy of his
hire, but he is a poor creature if he
works only for the wages he is tc
get and he will never do good work
on that scale. A man if he is really
man, values and honors his work
takes pride in, it, and does it well
thoroughly for its own sake, and
not for the wages. Hence, gooG
mechanic, or farmer, is always al
intelligent man-very often the most
Intelligent and the wisest man il
the community. He has found il
needful, for his own satisfaction, t.
know one thing thoroughly; and tt
do that he has necessarily to know
something of good many Others
| No kind of work is so low that il
not true of it. / knew. a gardene
laborer who earned his daily brea'
with a spade, but who had mad
himself good florist, and by n
, means a mean botanist.
"Nor is any work so high in tn
scale but that he who does it for tn
reward alone, be this money, o
place or power, will become nal
row and stupid sou" "-Charle
Nordhof.

You Nay Have Heard this Before.

A British officer tells a story of
the Fiji settlements in the early days:
IA white man who was taken prison
er by an inland tribe had cork leg.
Noticing that his captors were fix
ing up an oven, he became nervous,
bnd to conceal his fear called for
Bomething to eat. Food being given
him he used large jackknife to cut
II up. Every moushful or two he
Btuck the jackkife into his leg with
Buch fcrce that it stood erect. The
natives looked on in great astonish-
bnent and evident alarm. After the
|neal vas over he began to unscrew
his leg. That was too much for the
|poor savages. They hadn't the
Slightest curiosity to see what he
would do next, but opened a passage
for him and let him walk away un-
|nolested. When he reached his
horse the natives began to gather
bround, but after mounting he made
i motion as if to unscrew his head,
bnd the spectators fed in dismay.

He slipped quietly in at the door,
but catching sight of an inquiring
face over the stairrail, said: "Sorry
SO late, my dear; couldn't get car
before" $50 the cars were full, too,"
said the wife; and further remarks
were unnecessary.
