Eighteenth International Convention
TO be Held In Detroit.
DETROIT, Mich, March 1.-THE
press committee for the eighteenth In
ternat!onal convention OF Christian En-
deavor. to be held in Detroit July 5-1O.
has begun work by issuing letter set
ting forth the attractions of Detroit In
general, and OF the coming convention
in particular.
The letter says:
"Never was there brighter promise OF
great things for the Endeavor hosts.
and never hns city felt n. gladder
thrill over certainty OF blessings to
come. The convention will be chnrac-
terlzed by two new features. VIZ, the
employment Of n higher grade of mu-
sic than formerly and lectures upon So
Geological questions and other present
day problems. The latter feature is
designed, however, to supplement. not
supplant, the spiritual element which
has always been characteristic OF Chris
tian EndeavOr conventions"
2 In conclusion, the letter says:
Crimson and white are the colors In
which Detroit will array itself for the
great convention. The houses Of the
city Will be opened wide. and cordially
will find expression in every face and
voice and manner. You Will have 4
one fare railroad rate; you can come
by rail from anywhere, and by water
from almost everywhere; your enter
tainment will be at q reasonable cost,
and you can visit the famous Northern
Michigan resorts after the convention.
You need the physical invigoration Of
the trip to Detroit. and the mental and
spiritual inspiration that comes from
contact with the wholesome life of the
Endeavor host. But most Of all, We
want you"

Fool Luck.

"You can bet 1t is always n fool for
luck" said the man who has had his
nose to the grindstone all his life.
"Now there was Jack Shane of Ten
nessee. who drew $4,000 In lottery.
Jack didn't know enough to go in out
of the wet, but he had little money,
and he bought ticket that won, while
l got ten and didn't fetch cent. The
winning number was A. and when |
saw Jack asked him how he happen
ed to take that number. Well he
said, you see, 1t was this way; | had a
dream one night, and | dreamed that
the door of my room opened all of
sudden and big number seven walked
In. Then right after 1t came other sew
ems and more and more till the room
was chuck full and was about smoth-
cred under them. Then woke up and
began thinking 1t over. | knowed that
one seven wasn't the number to draw
nor II nor 7,777, for there was a mil
lion of them, and no lottery had that
many numbers. But figured awhile
and at last made up my mind that sew
en- times seven was AZ, and ~ WINS the
number, so | drawod that one. That
was all there was to it.
"Now," concluded the talker "if that
isn't case of fool for luck what the
dickens Is t?'-Washington Star.

Savage Crabs.

The most savage specimen of the
crab species is found In Japan, seeming
to dream of nothing but Nightingale
delight In nothing half 50 much. The
minute he spies another of his kind he
scrapes his claws together in rage,
challenging him to the combat. Not Il
moment is wasted in preliminaries, but
at 1t they go, hammer and tongs. 1t
sounds like two rocks grinding against
one another as their claws rattle
against the hard shells. The sand flies
ms the warriors push each other hither
and thither until at last one of them
stretches himself out in the sun, tired
to death.
But he does not beg for mercy or at
tempt to run away, only feebly rubbing
his claws together in defiance of the
foe. That foe comes closer, and, with
his claws trembling with joy at his vic
tory, the conqueror catches hold of one
claw of the vanquished crab, twists it
until 1t comes off, and bears away the
palpitating limb as a trophy of his
prowess. Such is battle between
warrior crabs.

MANAGING SMALL BOYS.
How Some Mothers Take All the
Shirt Out of Them.

How Some Mothers Take All the
Spirit Out of Them.
II am always made sorry when l
ride In the cars, through the shopping
districts particularly" said the wo-
man to newspaper man, ito see the
mothers Ill treat small boys 1t is
ethical cruelty, but quite as disastrous
as physical i'll treatment might be, 1t
seems to me.
II see poor little fellows of 7 and s.,
nice little men who would be manly IL
they were allowed to be, pushed into
that seat and out of 1t into another as
II they were SO many little dummies.
They usually are very nearly that, for
seven or eight years of such pushing
and pulling is enough to take all the
spirit out Of a small boy unless he
has unusual vigor of character,
"a boy of that age ought to be be-
ginning to look out for his mother and
finding seats for her. Occasionally q
sensible mother, who treats her boy
like a human being, is to be found, and
II is q pleasure to see the two together.
1.-The boy who Is dragged around like
little muff during the early part of
his life is apt to come to himself after
a time k he is not entirely ruined, and
then he goes to an opposite extreme, Is
rude and self asserting, while he is try
ing to establish an equilibrium. and
the mother can't imagine what the
trouble is."-New York Times.

LEARNING TO SMILE.

One of the Hardest Things For the
Gymnast to Do.
1.-THE thing l found hardest to learn
In my business was to SMILE" said a
professional gymnast who did a very
clever specially recently at one of the
local theaters. 81 started out In aero
batic work when | was only is years
old as one of a family of five. My
instructor was Charles Mcdonald, an
old time circus performer and one Of
the best of his day. While he was put
ting me through my PAGES he was
continually yelling: Look pleasant!
Look pleasant And my main trouble
for years was in following that same
order.
mo matter how hard tried l would
forget myself, and when l was doing
an extra hard turn l was certain to
make horrible faces, screw up my eyes
and grit my teeth. 1t took all the eff
feet out of my act and must have
seemed very funny to the people In
the audience. Often, after performing
some difficult feat, | have been morti-
fed to hear a roar of laughter, and at
last l determined to either learn how
to smile or quit the business. l got
the knack at last, and now 1t has be-
come IA sort of second nature.

portant than one would suppose.

Is very popular on the vaudeville cir
cult, not so much on account of the
difficulty of his act as the smiling ease
with which 1t is apparently done. You
would never suppose from his face
that he was making any special exer-
ton, and that of itself gives remarka-
BILE grace and finish to his work.
al am not the only one in the bust
ness, however, who has found 1t hard
to smile at the right time. Almost ev-

dancer and skirt dancer has had trou-

finally acquire horrible fixed grimace
that is supposed to be a smile, but has
no more suggestion of merriment than
