Philip d. Armour, millionaire and
philanthropist, continually warned
young men against getting into debt
He loved free men and despised slaves.
When asked If he admired a certain
brilliant orator, he said: HE may have
a superb voice and fine presence, but
can't you hear the rattle of his chain
That man is not free. He is under
moral obligations that demoralize him.
He is not speaking the deepest thing in
his soul, and haven't time to hear any
slave talk. want a man to be just as
free as l am"
On another occasion he said: Don't
get into debit mean moral debt. 1t
is bad enough to get into debt finan-
cially. There goes young man who
is mortgaged. That young man is leg
cling it along with debt, and it will
take twice as much power to get him
along as the man without a debt
There are other debts and obligations
that are embarrassing in their entan-
clements. Don't get into debt morally,
my boy; don't get into debt so that you
may not exercise your freedom to its
limits"

The sun Is Seldom on Time.

The sun does not keep good time. He
is almost always too fast or too slow.
Once about the middle of April he is
Just on time. then not again before the
middle of June. At the beginning of
September he joins the clock a third
time, and lastly once more late in De
cember. Now, it would seem as If he
were startled at the way he had neg
lected us. In February he fell back un-
til he was fifteen minutes late By the
beginning of March he had made up
five minutes of his loss, and before the
month is over he will have caught up
to within five minutes of the schedule.
Meanwhile the days have been growing
longer very rapidly. We begin March
with our nights longer than our days
We end It with our days longer than
our nights. In the one month we have
added to the length of our day an hour
and twenty minutes, bigger gain than
any other month can show.-Professor
S. @. Schmucker in Ladies' Home Jour

State News.

Serious complaints made against the
Bridgeton fire department will be investi-
gated by city council at its next meeting.
The charges grew out of the manner in
which the department fought the recent
wooden mills fire.
For doubling his legs under him and
putting sign on his breast, begging
passersby to help a man without legs,
James Kelly was sentenced to twenty days
in the county Jail by Recorder Stackhouse,

into Kelly's hand when Kelly saw the
policeman and brought forth his legs and
ran.
George Reed, letter carrier attached

his home on Jaques avenue. He over
powered the burglar and locked him in a
hallway and then went to look for police

Residents of South Seaville and vicin-
ity are greatly mystifed over the finding
of a quantity of male wearing apparel on
the bridge spanning Magnolia lake, on
the road leading from South Seaville to
the Calvary church. The clothing in.
Guided coat, hat, shoes, shirt, overalls
and handkerchiefs, nearly all of which

of the clothing has lost his life in the pond
near by. either by design or accident, and
that the body will be discovered later.

his people have not received proper re-
cognition in the distribution of political
favors; that they number 5000 voters in
the county and hold the balance OF power.
He added that if elected and the unpleas-
ant duty of hanging man should fall to
him, he would not cost the county $500
for a substitute, but would do the duty

A COOL RECEPTION.
II Was Not Surprising, Though, !
-

IL Was Not Surprising, Though, In
View of the Explanation.
Letters of Introduction are not inva-
riably serviceable. For one reason
they may be too frank. Harry Furniss
In his Confessions of a Caricaturist''
says that when a brother artist was
setting forth on his travels in foreign
climes he was provided with a letter
Of Introduction to a certain British
consul.
The writer of the letter inclosed ii
In one to the artist, saying that he
would find the consul a most arrant
snob, bumptious, arrogant humbug,
a cad to the backbone. Still, he would
probably offer some courtesies to any
one who had good social standing
and thus compensate the traveller for
having to come in contact with such
an tnsufferable vulgarian.
On the return of the artist to Eng
land the writer of the letter asked how
he had Jared with the consul.
well, my dear fellow" drawled the
artist, "he did not receive me very
warmly, and he did not ask me to din
ner. In fact, he struck me as being
rather cool"
"Well, you do surprise me-" reJoined
his friend. Hes a cad, as told you
in my letter, but he's very hospitable.
and l really can't understand this state
Of things. You gave him my letter of
introductionY'
"Why, l thought so; but. do you
know, on my journey home 1 discov-
cred it in my pocketbook So 1 must
have handed to him instead your note
to me about himp'
The explanation was quite adequate.

Brains Make Soldiers.

A discussion recently took place in
the smoking room of Swiss hotel be-
tween German and an American as
to the merits of their respective armies.
The former believed in discipline and
trained troops. The American believed
In training, too, but held that lot de-
pended upon the material trained.
"Given," quoth he, that brains are
lacking, no amount of physical train
ing will make up for them. Take the
American troops, comparatively IN
trained. and see how we'll they fight.
It's because of their brains"
Nonsense" rejoined the aroused
German. "Untrained troops can never
stand against well drilled ones Take
your country, for example, with prac-
tically no drilled army. What would
you do He paused impressively and
then said, What would you do If Ger

fectly drilled and perfectly equipped

Old Mrs. Hubbard, several years aft

In search of a bone for her poor dog,

PERFUMES AND HEALTH.
How Flower Scents May BE Obtained
In Three WAYS.

How Flower Scents May BE Obtained
In Three Ways.
Pure violet essence is said to be es-
pecially suitable to nervous people, but
it must be obtained from the flowers
themselves, not from the chemical imi-
tations. Chemically derived perfumes
are irritant, poisonous even, to persons
of especially sensitive constitution.
True flower scents are obtained in
three ways-first, by spreading fresh
blossoms upon glass thickly smeared
with pure grease, letting them stand in
the sun and as they wilt replacing
them until the grease is as fragrant as
the flowers; second, by repeatedly in
fusang fresh petals in oil, and, third.
by infusing them in ether, which is
then distilled to dry solid.
AS this solid sells for about $3.50 an
ounce 1t is easy to understand why the
ether process, though far and away the
best, is not commonly used. But the
scented grease and the essences made
by sleeping 1t in pure spirit are never
cheap. After all the,scent possible has
been extracted from the grease 1t is
still fragrant enough to make the very
finest perfumed soap.
All the citrine scents, bergamot, ne
rol, orange flower water. are refreshing
and In degree stimulating if properly
prepared. To make lasting perfume
some animal base is essential-musk,
civet or ambergris.

CALLING UPON A FRIEND.
The Way In which Two English Ac-

The Way In which Two English Ac-
tors Once Paid a Visit.
Here is an amusing story of Messrs.
Toole and Brough, the English comedi-
ans. Having appeared conformity in a
drama, "Dearer Than Life" in which
they wore very ragged, woebegone cos
tunes, they visited the well known
artists Fradelle and Marshall to be
photographed in their rags. While
waiting between the plates" Toole,
who was fond of lark, suggested to
his brother comedian to sally out and
call upon a certain mutual acquaint-
ance, who would be horribly shocked
at receiving visitors in such a garb.
Brough at once assented, and, popping
on their battered hats, out into the
street the pair slipped and made for
the house of their friend. OF course
the neat housemaid and the heater
Buttons were Mortified and declined
even without being asked TO purchase
matches or the like.
Il axes your pardon" said Toole in
an assumed tone. You're making a
slight mistake. We want to see your
master" And he mentioned the gen.
tleman's Christian name and that of
his wife.
I'VE have important business with
him." chimed in Brough.
The girls face wore a dazed aspect.

Marquise du Barry, whose lovely
head fell into the basket beneath the
guillotine in expiration of her levity,
extravaganza and folly, had in her pos
session a stone of which the Paris
jewelers. were unable to tell the precise
nature.
There appeared upon 1t below the
surface and as If under water an out
line of a picture containing human fig
ures. Strange to relate, when first the
gem was given to its aft inward unfor-
tunate possessor this outline was not
clear, but after it had been some
months In her possession it grew more
vivid.

was afterward instrumental, from re-

People often wax impatient because
express trains cannot be stopped at
some unimportant little station at
which they wish to alight. They should
whim. A train going at a rate of sixty
miles an hour can be stopped within
120 yards from the first application of
the brake. Now, enough power is lost
to carry this same train fifteen miles
over a plane surface. First there is
the momentum acquired by the train
flying at this remarkable rate of speed,
then the loss of steam in applying the
brakes and lastly the extra amount of
coal to compensate for all these losses.
for all of which impatient passengers
would not care to pay.
