BY the Hamilton turnpike, in Ham
ilton County, Ohio, and on the way
from College Hill, stands very large
sycamore tree that was planted there
in 1882 by Alice and Phoebe Gary.
They were then eight and twelve years
old, and coming home from school one
day they saw small tree farmer had
grubbed and thrown away in the road.
This they planted and cared for as chill
dren will, and now the tree fourishes,
and every one who passes by stops I'M

ever the Gary sisters went to that part
of the country they paid visit to their
tree.

IT is remarkable how settlers in .
new country turn everything into
money. The privilege of naming the
first baby born in Kingfsher, Okla
bona, was put up at auction and sold
for $50. At first sight this seems to
be an exorbitant price to pay for
privilege which comes distinctly under
the head Of luxury. but men like to
pose as leading figures at historical
crises. The records of Kingfisher

of the man who paid $50 to dub the

ACCORDING to population, Americans
consume nearly twice the amount of
tobacco that is consumed by Europeans.
This comes of the great smoking of to-
bacco in the form OF cigars. In cigar
smoking there is only partial COM
bustion of the tobacco. The tobacco
in cigar would load an ordinary pipe
four or five times. There is another
thing to consider. Cigar smoking is
very expensive compared with indul-
gence in the pipe. The habitual smoker
who buys the cheapest cigars could for
the same money provide himself with
the best and costliest pipe-smoking to-
bacco.

American, and thereby promote ali err

once more what has already become
the prime article in the creed of Amer

in distress and save the lives of those
on board. The sea captain who cheer
fully threw half his cargo overheard

PERSONAL POPULARITY.
A Few Sensible Words About People
with Axes to Grind

A Few Sensible Words About People
with Axes to Grind
The traditional esteem in which is
held the man who has an axe to grind
is very slight Self-interest. which is
hardly more than asynonym of selfish
ness, is conceded to be the handspring
of his life, and. naturally, it attracts
little sympathy. The man or woman
who would succeed must do SO by re-
lating himself to something higher
than himself, or he fails to inspire that
response in the minds of those around
him. which produces the vital magnet

general statement. this Is always true;
but the changing conditions of modern
life has linked more closely all motives
and all interests, till, in a very literal
sense, it is true that no man nveth to
himself Practically, therefore. the eff
feet is just this: The man who has an axe
to grind is ready, in return, to help
grind another mans axe, and the most
cheerful and encouraging atmosphere
of mutual good will and response is en-
pendered. In fact. the axiom is quite
redeemed, by these modern conditions,
from any specially unworthy sense of

the age is individuality. Personal
popularity is almost an indispensable
condition of success. One may like or

events he must accept it. Nor is it
| without a higher side, because in its
ultimate analysis it implies the i'm
portance of character as factor in
all achievement. It Is not enough that
the artist paint a picture which
is a ioy of possessions; the potential

the painter and asks of his life, his
ideas, and these determine largely his

his due, unless he be one who brings q
worldwide reputation. and has already
earned his place in public appreciation
by the invalid testimony of noble and
