WORTH WHILE.

'Tis easy enough to re pleasant,
When life flows, along like a song;
But the man worth while is the one who
will smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years.
And the smile that is worth the praise OF
earth
Is the smile that comes through tears.
1t Is easy enough to be prudent.
When nothing tempts you to stray;
When without or within no voice or sin
Is Turing your soul away;
But it's only a negative virtue
Until 1t is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor or
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
BY the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife.
The worlds highway Is numbered to-day;
They make up the item of life.
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in a smile
1t Is these that are worth the homage Of
earth,
For we find them but once in awhile.

New Use for Hair.

A fact that has recently come to light
shows new use to which human hair
has been put. During the last year or
two tons of hair have been packed be-
tween the plates of certain parts of
war vessels Hair is very elastic, and
thus affords very effective backing
to medal. Again. it is being used very
satisfactorily to form kind of fender
which is thrown over the side of the
vessel to prevent her scraping against
the doch-to take the place, in fact, of
more commonly used rope coils.-Phil-

Medical Man Who Existed for Thirty
Days on Sweet Milk. 4ssy
medical man expresses the belief
that person could live for any length
OF time and take heavy exercise all the
while on no other food than sweet
milk. His conviction is the result of
personal exNriment.
lie wanted to establish the fact that
persons convalescing from sickness
may grow stronger with no other nut
rlment than sweet milk, and that they
are obliged to take something solid"
TO eat, as SO many people imagine. He
holds that many cony alescent has
has gone into his grave as result of
overtaxing his week stomach by put
ting "solid" food into it, and he main
tains that the old belief as to bread
being the first essential of human life
is shown by his experiment to be erro-
neous.
His test was to live 30 days with
only sweet milk as nourlshment. In
the hole time he lost 5L pounds in
weight, but no strength. He even at
tributes the loss of weight to the
warmth of the weather and to excess
sive exercise on the bicycle, and the
daily manipulation of 16-pound dunn
bells and other heavy weights. He
took more exercise than usual in order
to test the thing fairly. On the seventh
day of the experiment he ran several
fast races in skillful manner, but
was beaten In each race.
On the thirtieth day he again pitted
himself against the same runner and
got the best of the opponent, which
certainly would tend to confirm his
statement that he lost no strength dur
ing 80 days test. He drank four pints
of milk daily for the last week. He
thinks healthy person should take
about five pints of milk daily when no
other food is being taken. His prac-
tice was to drink milk at intervals of
two hours for the day, commencing at
seven o'clock in the morning and con-
tinuing until ten at night. After that
he would take no more until the ne xt
morning.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

that if she could only get word to Jim

well. So she ran and got a coil of rope
and tied one end Of it to that stubby
oak-there, you can see IL at the edge
of the hill. and then she took hold of

The Senator's Striped underwear.

western senator, who has always
been addicted to the habit of wearing
striped underwear, had narrow
escape recently on that very account.
The striped underwear worn by the
distinguished senator looked for all the
world like prisoners garb, but Of
course that aspect of the case did not
suggest itself to the senator. While
en- route to Washington last month,
after he had been reelected for another
six years, the fact came to him in a
striking way. 1t was on a sleeping car
at night. The car pitched and threw
Kim out of the lower berth onto the
floor, clad in his striped underwear
The lurch of the car startled other
folks, too, and two ladies on the oppo-
site side from the senator stuck their
heads out to see what the COM
motion was all about. When they saw
the senator crawling under cover, in his
striped garb, thinking he was an
escaped convict, they screamed and pam
demonium reigned. The porter was
summoned, whereupon the ladies COM
lnanded him to remove the Convict"
1t took all the senatorial courtesy" the
senator could rake up to prove an alibi,
and he was finally able to demonstrate
who he was; but he has since abandoned
the idea of wearing striped underwear,
having reached the conclusion that
plain f1annels without stri pes are much
better and far safer.-Washingt ton Post.

A small Blaze.

The wettest night of the year was
selected as the proper time to have
jamboree by the fire fiend. 1t is
to be commended for the excellent
judgment shown and it is to be
hoped that on all future occasions
when there is to be fire as propi-
tious a night will be taken for it.
The alarm was given about four
O'Clock Tuesday morning and in a
surprising short time the water was
turned on the blaze. The small tin
shop ON Walnut street run by Dor
sey st. Clair was on fire. A very
high wind was blowing but as it
blew the flames away from neighbor-
ing houses no damage was done to
them. The entire roof was on fire
when the firemen got there but in a
short time the fire was extinguished.
Chief Christie, as on all other oc-
casions was right in the thickest of
the fight. He went into the attic
when it seemed that any moment
the roof would fall in. After brief
time the fire was extinguished. The
damage was about 800 with no in
surance. 1t will be rebuilt. How
the fire originated is not known but
it is supposed to have been caused by
a defective fue. There was no fire
in the building at the time the
blaze was discovered but it is
thought that the fire had been
smouldering in the roof for several
hours before it broke out. The ex-
IRENE wetness of everything prevent
ed worse damage being done.

The Columbus Evening Press re-
Gently had an account of benefit CIV
en- for the poor of that city. Among
the most prominent performers was
Miss Mary Kitchens. A picture was
given of Miss Kitchens and the follow
ing complimentary things among
Others, were said of her; Mary Eliz-
abeth Kitchens of the Columbus Cap
ital School or Oratory was next on the
program. Miss
Kitchens possesses a flexible and well
trained voice which as one time re-
sembled the deep sonorous bass of an
aged negro saying his prayers on what
he fancied was the Judgment day, and
at another the delicate voice of six
year old child. She was obliged to re-
spond to an encore. Miss
Kitchens, aside from possessing beau
tiful voice and marked talent as an
elocutionist is prepossessing young
woman withal. Her efforts seemed to
be very much appreciated by the audi
ence If the usual method of express
ing satisfaction and appreciation may
be relied upon as criterion.
We are certainly glad to note the
success which Miss Kitchens is
meeting and with the regard in which
she is held in her new home. She is
well and most favorrbly known in
Morgantown and this expression OF
satisfaction will find an echo in the
hearts of her many friends here.
