STORIES OF CHILDREN,

Teacher-When little George WASH
ington told the truth about cutting
down the cherry tree his father forgave
him. Now, Johnny, what lesson does
this teach us?''
Johnny-That we can often avoid
trouble by burying the Ratchet.
One warm evening in the spring it
was raining gently and little 4-year-old
Margie was somehow reminded of the
firefiies she had seen the summer be-
fore. "Oh, mammal" she questioned
eagerly, isn't it most time for the hop

old hopeful, you must not interrupt
me when / am talking to the ladies.
Wait until we get through, then you
can TALK But, mamma replied the
little fellow, .by the time you get
through I'll forget all my talk"
Hostess (to 5-year-old guest)-Does
your father say grace before dinner,

Margie-I don't know. What's grace?
Hostess-Why, saying grace is re-

Margie-My pa doesn't have to. He

How to Get Rich.


In recent symposium on how to get
rich the millionaires interviewed give
a diversity of opinions. One says .the
best way to become wealthy is not to
talk too much during business hours"
a plea for reticence in deciding on
plans. Another suggestion is to make
yourself agreeable to your most obnox
ious customer A third advises five
things: "'Push, squareness, clear-head-
eGness, economy and rigid adherence to
the rule of not overworking." Mrs.
Hetty Green gives it as a lesson of her
experience that For a woman to be
successful one Of the most important
things she must do is to learn how to
mind her own business" These rules
may not produce the desired result, but
their sponsors think they would have
failed without them.

Would Have Done the Same,

Rudyard Kipling undoubtedly got his
wit from his maternal grandfather. the
Rev. George B. Macdonald, Wesleyan
clergyman. 1t is related of this bright
Macdonald that in the days when he
was counting the lady whom he after
ward married the father in-law to be-
an aged Methodist with extremely strict
notions in regard to the proprieties-
was injudicious enough on one occasion
to enter the parlor without giving any
warning of his approach. The conse-
quence was that he found the sweet
hearts occupying single chair.
Deeply shocked by this spectacle the
old man solemnly said: 'Mr Macdon-
aid, when was counting Mrs Brown
she sat on one side of the room and
on the other.
Macdonald reply was "That what
should have done if I had been court
ing Mrs. Brown. Troy Press

A MIGHTY HARD PROBLEM.
The One Of Inventing a bottle That
Can't Be Refi1Ied.

rhe one Of Inventing a bottle That
Can't Be RefIIed.
II read a little interview not long
ago. said a New Orleans grocer,
with man who purported to give
asne particulars concerning the much
talked Of nonrefllable bottle problem.
He said among other things, that there
was standing reward of SO, 900 for
practical solution, and I had to smile
to note how fable, once set adrift, is
continually vitalized by repetition. I
happen to know something about the
bottle question, and can state posi-
lively and authoritatively that there
has never been a reward of so, 900 or
any other amount for such a device.
"The impression probably originated
with circular that was prepared years
ago by convention of northern distill-
ers. 1t was designed for the informa-
ton of inventors and stated briefly and
clearly just what was essential to a
practical nonrefllable bottle what the
working part should be made of, what
tests it should be able to sustain, what
it should cost in quantity, and so on. l
doubt whether there is now copy Of
that circular in existence, but it un-
questionably gave rise to the story that
the whisky men of the country were
hot after bottle that couldn't be re-
filled and had offered an enormous re-
ward for the same.
''The Lord only knows how many
lives have been wrecked by that yarn.
Next to perpetual motion it has been
the great asylum feeder of the mechan-
ical world. The problem looks easy
enough on the surface and upward of
so patents have been taken out on diff
ferent devices, but none of them works
under all conditions The favorite
scheme is ball valve which would be
closed automatically by pressure from
above, but it is readily worked by a
wire or an air pump.
cat first the liquor men and makers
of proprietary remedies that were
largely counterfeited encouraged invest
ors in the line, but after repeated fail
ures they finally came to the conclusion
that the thing couldn't be done and
have given it up altogether. Neverthe-
less the cranks still persevere, and every
now and then one reads of a new bot
tie that works like a charm. But you
never see them on the shelves, and
make bold to say you never will. -

Those Who Engage I'm 1t Grow Inca
pabIe of Steadfast, Enduring Love.
''In Irritation there is the same dis
sipated element of excitement SO be-
quilting in gambling-uncertainty-
fact, we might add to the dictionary
definition a still later one, ITO firt,
gambling in hearts, {" writes Frances
Evans, ssAbout Men," in The Ladies'
Home Journal.
''The firt, like the gambler, feeds
upon the intoxication of his passions.
In few years he becomes incapable of
steadfast, enduring love, that feeling
which in civilized man is separated
from the love of the barbarian by the
element of ideality, of spiritual sympa
thy as distinct from merely the attrac
tion of brute nature. The open minded,
open souled, manly man is apt to ex-
press himself in abrupt praise of what
he likes, but the firt knows better than
to take the edgeof of a compliment by
giving it publicity. The firt is invaria
bly, confidential in his manner. A firt
becomes unscrupulous in his relations
with women, no matter how high a
code of honor he may abide by in other
matters. His conscience is calloused en-
one side beyond remedy. There is no
germ which develops more rapidly than
the hirtatious bacteria.
Given young man or woman whose
pride is wounded more deeply than his
or her love by a member of the opposite
sex, then, if there be slight firtatious
tendency to begin with, it will be but
overnight before the weed has grown
to surprising proportions, choking out
conscience and kindness while it sup
ports and strengthens vanity, which
stands close by wounded affections in
the human heart.
