That's the right word in the right place. .sPersonified.'' The manufac- turers are getting the 'fad'' of vac cination. and To, behold you, they are notifying their help to get vaccinated or go home and stay there until sent for. That sounds very much as if we were living in a free country, doesn't it2 Supposing two-thirds of the help didn't believe in vaccination, but to save their positions got vaccinated and were sick for a couple of weeks from it, who would pay them? Supposing one of them lost his arm after being compelled to have it lacerated or lose his job, who would look out for his welfare? Well, we all know too well who would be compelled to stand the loss, expense, etc. Say, impositions will always be experienced if you don't make a ..holler" For instance. when the lady of the house compels her hus- band and family to drink disagreeably tasting tea or coffee just because she got it cheap or because she bought it from friend. she'll do the same thing again if you don't make holler. It's all nonsense to drink poor tasting tea (the kind the other fellows selD when you can just as well buy the nice tast- ing kind for the same price at our store. If the member of the family who does the buying doesn't know this fact they should be informed right away quick.

The finding of great coal beds in
Alaska and Of extensive deposits Of
asphalt in Michigan Is better than the
discovery of new gold mines. Coal
in Alaska is a measurable offset to
the wintriness of the climate. Cheap
fuel is the one thing needed to hasten
the development of the mineral wealth
of the Territory. The asphalt supply
in Michigan, If it shall prove to be
extensive, will hardly be a less well
come contribution to the need Of the
country. The asphalt supply Of the
world that is readily accessible for COM
mercial purposes has fallen largely
into the hands of n few owners. If
We can get it as near at hand as Mich
igan we shall care less for the outturn
in Trinidad and Venezuela, and per-
haps we can expect to have,our streets
paved at a more moderate cost, OBJ

Roman Remains in London.

As result of the extensive excava-
tions which have recently been made
in London Wall, says q London spe-
cial in the Paris Messenger, several
Roman coins We're brought to light.
They consist of two specimens Of An
toninus Plus Second BRASS who died
in A. D. 161; one Traian (also a Sec
ond brass), who fiourished about the
same time; Postumus first BRASS, who
was assassinated about the year a.
D. 26S, and Vespasian Second BRASS,
the date of which would be between
the years A. d. 10 and 10.
1t is an interesting fact that large
number of the coins Of Postumus were
evidently restruck, as they still retain
on their surfaces some traces OF the
effigies of preceding rulers, circum-
stance which is believed by numus-
matists to show that he hastily re-
stamped with his own portrait part
Of the current coin Of the empire.

Panic About Legs

Another sensational scientist has
sent out u wild alarm that means
sleepless nights for the nervous. This
reckless distributor of terror is Pro-
fessor Yung of the University Of
Guef, Switzerland, who announces
that in million years, or even less,
we human beings will have no legs.
He has discovered that men are de-
veloping a marked disinclination to
personal locomotion"-or to put it in
palmer English, to walking-for the
reason that trans, motor cars and
trains take them about with greater
comfort and rapidity.
A man engaged in the manufacture
of trousers has called upon us and eX-
hibited symptoms of grief and alarm
at the thought that soon there may
be no leg for him to clothe, and
maker of boots panic stricken, has
asked for the latest news about feet.
In the meantime he has curtailed his
personal expenses and thought out
plan to convert his business into a
limited liability company and unload
the risk Of a legless era upon the lay
public.
In day not so very far distant, Pro-
fessor Yung opines, man will be moth
ing but brains and arms. There will
be neither trousers nor boots to him,
nothing to which to attach them. He
will resemble the monkey even more
than he does now, if possible, and he
will swing himself from house to Of
flee on rings specially suspended for
the purpose, his fast disappearing legs
waving uselessly in the breeze neith-
er serviceable nor ornamental.-Lon-
don Express.

An Intelligent Poodle.

"Have animals reason?" was one of
the questions raised by Lord Avebury
in an interesting address given at the
Lcndon Institution, and certainly it
seems hard to deny to the intelligent
poodle Dan, with whom Lord Avebury
experimental, some glimmering of the
faculty which is said to separate men
from brutes. Dan was able after a
time to distinguish between the num-
ber of cards inscribed with such sug
gestive words as Food" Tea"
Water" and when he required any
thing, to bring the right card. Lord
Avebury thought it was hardly posi-
bic to study closely communities of
ants without allowing that they were
possessed Of reasoning powers in some
degree and even of moral feeling. On
the other hand, the professional cater
pillar appears to be an insect of a very
low order Of intelligence. Professional
oaterpillars when out for an expedition
weave a thread by which they find
their way back, and small party was
Il flower pot, and round the top. He
then cleared away the ascending
thread, and for eight days did those
caterpillars walk round and round the
top of the flower pot, following the
circular thread which remained, until
they dropped OF from fatigue and eX-
haustion.-London Chronicle.

Habits.

Ned was watching grandpa put on
his shoes. "Why did you turn 'em
over to shake 'em before you put 'em
on?" he asked.
"Did I?' said grandpa.
"Why, yes, you did; but didn't see
anything come out. l have TO shake
the sand out of my shoes most every
morning."
Grandpa laughed. 'I didn't notice
that I shook my shoes, Ned but got
in the habit of shaking my shoes every
time before putting them on when ]
was in India"

ITO shake out scorpions or cent?

hidden in them"

"Habit is a queer thing; isn't it."
said Ned.
Its very strong thing" said grand
pa; remember that. my boy. A habit
is a chain that grows stronger every
day, and it seems as if a bad habit
grows strong faster than good one
If you want to have good habits when
you are old form them while you are
young, and let them be growing strong
all the while you live."-Mayflower.

came the momentous question as to
which of us the young soldier would
select for his dancing mate. All, lit
tie one, we were all very giddy and
silly in those old days.
Il remember quite well what gal
liant young fellow he looked that even
ing when he came across the lawn be-
tween the old lord and Edith. He
wore the uniform of an English officer,
such a merry, boyish gentleman that
I'm afraid everyone Of us fell in love
with him."
"You, too, auntie?"
"Ah, well, honey, thought him the
finest handsomest, tenderest gallant
possible, and perhaps my heart flut-
tered harder than anyones when the
time came for choosing partners. In
deed, he was modest, winsome gen.
tleman, Marie" continued the old
lady, absently gazing at the little pic
ture "ard made name for himself
afterwards In the wars of his coun-
try"
But the dance, auntie?" asked the
child. "Who was his partner in the
dance?"
''He chose me, dearie, he chose me-"
The little old woman was folding the
picture away now into an old laven-
der scarf. "This was the scarf I wore
that evening, Marie" He voice was
low and tremulous with the new-old
memories of glrlhood. She fumbled
deeper into her old leather trunk and
pulled out a time-stained prayer book,
within the pages of which w1thered
flowers and scraps of writing and a
few ringlets of hair made voiceless
records of her youth.
This is his hair, honey" she said,
holding out yellow curl tied with a
ribbon of faded blue, "and this is his
writing on this card"
In the nervous, thin hand was bit
of paper inscribed, "a heart token for
my Celeste from Cecil" 1t was in
boyish scrawl, and little Marie read it
over and over before she asked:
"Is this the token, this card?"
mo, no, dearie. The token was a
ring, a gorgeous ring with a diamond
and some rare pearls in the settinS.'
"May / see the ring, auntie?'
"Bless you, little sweetheart" smiled
the old lady, putting away her treas
ures with reverent, trembling hands.
Il wish you might see 1t, but l sent
it back to him. You know 1 was only
q schoolgirl, child then, and the
good nuns made me send it back. And
so l sent it back; sent 1t back, Marie,
but kept the little card. He was a
good and gracious soldier"
"And is that all you know about
him, auntie?"
"That's all"-John II. Raftery, in
the Chicago Record Herald.

A Mean Advantage.

A story is told of boy named Jack,
who was quite naughty in school and
was frequently punished. One day
the teacher decided to ask the princi-
pal to whip Jack. So she gave Jack
Il note to the principal, written thus:
Dear Mr.. Smith: Please give n
thorough whipping to the bearer"
1t happened that German boy, who
had recently entered the school and
knew very little English, was passing
through the hall just as Jack was re
luctantly approaching the principals
office.
"Hello, Fritz" said Jack, suddenly,
as a bright idea occurred to Lin. Say,
Fritz, take this in there, please"
pointing towards the office door,
"Yes," answered Fritz, who was
glad to be of use to some one else
So into the office went Fritz with an
innocent air. What was his astonish-
ment to find himself collared by the
principal, and to see a stout rod brand
ished over his head.
Zach, no, now cried he, but, alas. lie
could not explain in English and the
principal understood 10 German So
poor Fritz was soundly ihrashed, and
not until the next day did the prime
pai learn his mistake. 'H

During the severe frost of 1860 a
number of Lincolnshire Volunteers con-
ceived the happy thought of carrying
out their drills on the ice, says an
English magazine. Three companies
of them accordingly put on each man
his skates and met at Stamp End Lock
on the Witham River, December 90
Here they performed the movements
of their drill as firmly and precisely
as on land. Then, rites in hand, they
skated In fours to Boston, keeping

An Hours Struggle For Life.

In 1918 Lord William Pitt Lennox
sailed for Canada in the frigate Iphi-
genia. Just before o'clock one even
ing under freshening breeze, there
came the cry, MAN overboardw Clear
away the cutterw cried Lieutenant
. He then threw over life
buoy, ordered the first lieutenant to
take care of the ship, and in another
instant went overheard himself after
the drowning man.
The frigate was going rapidly and
the wind was high. In few mo-
ments the heads Of the struggling men
We're out of sight. The cutter dropped
astern, shipped a sea, and disappeared
in the darkness. For not lnly was
night coming on, but a dismal cloud,
which had been all day approaching,
obscured what twilight was left. The
glass was falling, and it was evident
from all signs that dirty night was
coming on.
The two men had not appeared. Ey-
cry man on board was straining his
gaze to windward. An hour passed.
an hour that seemed like an age, when
suddenly there came voice from un-
der the lee, Stand fast. Heave us a
rope"
There was the cutter with the half
drowned sailor, the lieutenant, the
crew, life-buoy and all. They were
soon on deck, and there the lieutenant
told his story.
1.-THE sea broke over us, and do what
we would we couldn't reach the life
buoy. Simcoe was too much disabled
to swim. for he had struck his head
in falling. and besides that, the ship
had gone clear over him. He never
attempted to touch me, and when he
got too weak even to struggle, he
blessed me. and said, TRY to save

THE TIME THAT'S LOST IN WISHING.

I hear folks keep a-wishin' from the early
morn till late,
A-wishin' they was wealthy an a-wishin'
they was great;
IF stout, they'd be more slender; an if
slim, they'd be more fat
A discontented army, wishin' this an
wishin' that.
An I've done heap O. thinkin' on the
subject, first an last,
Why people squirm an fd9et in the places
where they're cast;
Yes, an wish for fields t conquer when
they simple duties shirk,
An the time that's lost in wishin' might
be better spent in work.
There's wishin' in the country for position
an renown,
For wealth an place an power there is
wishin' in the town;
While the city folks, inclinin' more t lau-
rel wreaths O. fame
Than more prosaic objects, keep on wishin'
The malady's infectious an it deals as
hard blow
T. women gowned in satin as t those in
calico;
1t steals as many hours from the banker
as the clerk,
An the time that's lost in wishin' might
be better spent in work.
Folks may spend an hour thinkin' an
some good from it may come,
An hours nap at noontime may improve
your feelin's some;
An hour spent in singin' may see sorrows
banner furled,
But an hour spent in wishin' is q dead
loss t the world!
An so I'd have the wishin hours gath
cred up an spent
For chunks O perseverance, or, in other
words, content;
Since behind these idle hours lots O. lit
tie troubles lurk,
AN the time that's lost in wishin' might
be better spent in work.

Rode n Moose Into n Lake.

party Of prominent railroad
officials, Of st. Paul. Mimi, while hunt
ing in the woods surrounding Cass
Lake, a country abounding with deer,
suddenly came upon splendid speci-
men of the moose, near the fringe OF
the wood. The moose emerged FRONT
Il tamarack swamp, and as soon as he
caught sight Of the hunters, four in
number, he charged them. They
dropped their guns and ran pell-mell
for shelter.
The only refuge was the braches
above them, and up into Il tree each
climbed. II. Parkhurst, Of the Mime
apolis office of the Great Northern, did
not hide himself and the moose charged
the tree, butting it furiously. In fright
Parkhurst dropped onto the back Of
the moose, clinging tightly. The moose
at once started off. Parkhurst's clothes
were torn and his flesh bruised by the
wild ride to the lake. He attempted
to dismount, but was unable to do
so. The moose dashed over the frozen
edge Of the pond and plunged into the
water, which was icy cold. Parkhurst

difficulty swan to the shore, where
his friends took him in charge.-Chi-
