were non-essentials; the worst things

take missteps; yet there is reason to
be thankful that nothing which they

heard grandpa coming with feed,
would squeal, jump into the trough
with its front feet, and sometimes try
to crawl up the wall. Naturally this
made 1t difficult to pour feed into
the trough, and, at best, wasted a great
deal This would never do, and grand
pa decided to teach the brute some
manners. He provided himself with
a club, and before attempting to pour
feed into the trough, would lambast
the pig so vigorously that it was glad
to seek safety in the other end of the
pen, and never come back to the trough
until grandpa called 1t. This pleased
the old man. He was glad to think
some animal would obey him through
fear of his strength and vigor, and for
good measure, he went into the pen
once a week and conquered the pig
SO thoroughly that it never felt better
than when making itself busy in
getting to the other side of the pen
every tim cit henrd grandpa coming.
And was the old man tickled? All,
nav! nav, nav! He didn't chuckle
and shake all over every time he
saw the pig scamper"

Under spreading blacksmith sign,
The village blacksmith sat;
He heard the chuf -chuf-chuf and

The road Is full Of horseless things,
And bikes and such as that"
The smith was deeply in the dumps;
ALI! that was plain to see.
His wink-eye winked knowing

Up at the chestnut tree;
And then lie said, "These horseless
things
Have put a horse on me-"
And through his crisp and curly
hair
His sineway hand he ran.
Says he, "B'll get some different
tools,
AS well as any man
I'll mend a punctured rubber tire
I'll charge whate'er can"
Week in, week out, from morn till
night
His bellows blow no fires,
Instead it feeds a rubber tube,
That blows up rubber tires.
He has a tank of gasoline,
And cement, pipes and wires.
And children coming home from
school
Rubber in the open door,
They rubber at the rubber tube
A.rubbing round the floor,
They rubber at the rubbersmith
Who rubbers tires that tore.

Up in the choir stand;
And as she holds the hymnbook high
Shows diamonds on each hand;
For daughters buying jewelry
And Dad is buying land.

Each morning sees some tire break
Each evening sees it close.
Something mended, somebody done
Puts money In his clothes.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy

This world will never wait;

We must keep up to date.

A REVOLT AGAINST BABY FOOD
(From the Chicago Tnter-oceanJ

The editor of the Kankakee Times

things that men like. 1t would ap-

been too much said at the Chautauqua
about articles Of diet, in which healthy
men as a rule take no interest.

That's why we sell it.
Whenever we find a make of

THINK ouR NAvY's EFFICIENCY
~ DECREASING.
English Naval students See Grave
Prophecy In Admiral Melville's Re-
port to Secretary Of Navy Long

English naval experts and engineer
ing authorities regard AZ Of the most
serious importance the statement made
In Admiral MelVille's report to the Sc
cretary OF the navy that the engineering
efficiency of the United States navy is
rapidly decreasing They point out
that the situation threatens the efii-
cheney OF the navy itself, which is likely
in the event Of war to have an unplea-
SAINT awakening. The question raised
by the American admiral Is creating
much interest here, since II Is believed
that the British navy is In no better
plight.
Engineering, the highest authority
among the British technical journals,
asserts that the difficulty arises from
the unpopularity of engineering duties
among both British and American Off
GERS.
No country" says that journal, that
cannot command a body of men willing
to undergo the Ndisagreeable experience
incidental to the training necessary for
an engineer Will be able to maintain
its position as a tirst-class naval power
under the stress of war, however many
ships and guns ii may possess. Neither
Great Britain nor the United States
lacks such men, and only the ruling
powers of both countries can prevent
their employment"
Discussing the failure of the bill to
feOrBanlZe ana increase the ett1ClenCy
of the personnel of the navy which
passed Congress in 1899. the same au-
thority says: Miscarriage was render
ed possible by the failure of the bill
positively to direct that the duties of
officers should alternate between the
engine-room and the deck. For every
three commissioned officers taken from
the engine-room and transferred to the
deck only one was sent below. Further
| officers were transferred to the deck for
permanent duty, while the others were
detailed for engine-room duty only foI
short period.
Whether practical people like those
of the United States will submit to see
| the strength of their navy whitfield
away while vast sums spent on the fleet
are practically wasted because en-.
gineering duties are unpopular, remains
| to be seen. Unfortunately, politica
| conditions such as prevail in the United
| States, render 1t difficult for popular
| opinion to make itself felt, and abuse!
| sometimes grow very rank before they
are suppressed.
ANY attempt to detail warrant ma
chinists for engine-room duty would bt

of the engineering knowledge of the
| United States to imagine that the fool
