The wholesale slaughter OF women and children in
the Balkans both by Turks and revouonists, places
the savage conbatants beyond the pale of human
sympathy. Americans surely can have other in
terest in the barbarc warfare except horror OF its
unspeakable atrocities and determined purpose to
protect those who should stand in the shadow of
our flag. Although consular representative was
not threatened, the American naval demonstra-
ton served splendid purpose in showing readi-
ness to guard our visit swift vengeance upon
assassins.

Understood His Art.

Baron Won Steuben was the drillmas-
Ger of the Continental army at Valley
Forge. At first the men in the ranks
did not know the manual exercise:
many of the officers knew little or nOth,
ing of m~aneuvering. One of the latter
turned out for inspection in a dressing
gown. "Himmel und erde!' cried the
baron. What kind of creature is this?''
Baron Won Steuben was choleric and
prOfane, but be understood his art. He
swore at the ragged C~ontinentals in
both German and French. but he taught
them the value of drill and discipline.
When he had exhausted all the French
and German oathS he knew he would
roar to his aid, Come here, He2r HauDt-
mann. and help me curse these block
heads But he turned the undisci-
plined militia into well drilled troops.
Never again was the enemy able to
laugh at "Mr. Washington's rotten reg
lments of ragamufins."

Heller Shelter.

"Helter SHELTER" has been suggestive
ly defined as a jingling expression,
vaguely initiating the hurried clatter
of feet rapidly and irregularly moved.
Most dictionaries. however. led astray
probably by the ordinary photography,
have missed the true etymology Of this
phrase. 1t should be "helter keller"
Heller is an old word for hang"
probably connected with halter, and
"kelter" is used by old writer's in the
sense of order" or the proper state.
Thus Barrow, the divine. says. IF the
organs of prayer be out of keller how
cal we pray?"
"Helter SHELTER" therefore, is literal
~ hang order" and means, "Oh. hang
order; let us do it, or let it take i1S

Burial by Degrees.

The few old eX-slaves now left in the
West Indies have many curious Gus
toms, but the most curious is that of
burying themselves on the installment
plan. When they comb their hair they
are careful not TO pull mOr hairs from
the head than they can help. Those
which come away they roll into a ball
and put into a bag of white muslin.
They do the same with the parings OF
their nails and any other portions Of
their anatomy which become detached.
When the bag is full they bury it. If
asked why they do this they reply:
when me dead. massa. you bury me
body. Me hair am part Of me body, so
me bury it now when it dead"

GAIN SOME EVERY DAY.

Though we may know everything to
be known about our work we will con-
tinue to make mistakes unless we keep
clear headed. earnest, strong and
knowing more about ourselves every
day.
Any kind of valuable information on
any kind of useful subject will help
some one somewhere, at sometime
to become more accurate.
The every day easy errors are due
to discontinued study. lack of self
control, indifference poor memory and
wandering thoughts.
The growing of greater ability is
more useful to the employees than TO
the employers, but it is OF sufficient
interest to the employers to have them
encourage the collection and exchange
of information on such subjects as
have been mentioned. When we read.
think or work we should try to secure
useful thoughts for others.
WEi,e it is claimed that customers
make three times as many errors as
employees. the desire for greater accur
acy should not be diminished among
the employees on that account.

MENTAL OCCUPATION.

At thirty-f1ve he had money and
honors but lost them. For twenty
years he lived very simple and wan

tion and an income of several thou
sand year. A few days ago 1 called
upon him. He has an unusually COM
Portable office. He had been reading
how successful men eat and he told
me that they were reported to eat
anything they came across, not paying
any attention to their stomach, but all
of them were busy at some kind of
work.
His observation had been that when
a man stopped work he soon went to
pieces; that systematic thought and
exercise were necessary for continued
health.
A mechanic. who has little shop
he has run for many years, is some
times tempted to close it because it
pays him SO little. My advice to him
has always been that he could afford
to run it for his health. Were he to
stop his work he would lose his diges-
tive power and then his energy He
cannot do the heavy work he did
thirty years ago, but at sixty-seven he
is in better health than he was at
lorty-five.

money upon which to retire He sold

ton she discovered that he was work

Hinton, KY, Nov 2.-For over two
years two Of the best physicians in
this part of the State have been treat
ing Mr.. E. J. Thompson. a popular
local school teacher, for Diabetes.
They told him that but little could be
lone to help him. He made up his
mind to try new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says:
They saved me when the doctors
held out no hope. | took in all about
ten boxes. will always praise Dodd's
Kidney Pills for the great good they
have done for me-"
Many people. and some physicians,
still persist in the belief that Diabetes
is an incurable disease. Our teacher,
Mr.. Thompson, says it is curable, for
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after
two good physicians had treated him
tor two years without success.
A remedy that will cure Diabetes
will surely cure any case of Kidney

SICKNESS AND YOUTH.

All but health! Friends, money,
schooling. opportunity. yet discourag-
ed and a sufferer.
The young person with poor health
has the sympathy Of the writer be-
cause twenty years ago he was in the
same condition.
There is An age in ones growth
where depression of life's forces puts
one beyond the influence OF drugs
travel, recreation and the help Of
friends.
Should little strength be gathered
and hope return, unconscious careless
ness wastes the strength and scatters
the hope. till time comes when this
temporary improvement has been Sc
cured and lost so many times, 1t is
looked upon with doubt whenever it
returns.
The encouraging and educating of a
young person with continued poor
health is department in personal sci
ence. How to think in time to save
strength is mental preventive medi-
cine. How to grow a substantial en-
thusiasm that will not be displaced by
any common emotion or temptation, is
study in self-control.
This column will take these subjects
up again and again if any interest is
shown by the readers. The strong are

STUCK STAMPS.

The boys have been told that they
were to be written Up.
They are running retail store, and
are honest. hard-headed fellows.
Tut they have few things to learn.
Their success is almost positive be-
cause they take a suggestion good
naturedly and are willing to profit by
others hints.
They are in business for money. hon
estly if they can get it so. and CLOSE
up shCp' is not honestly obtainable.
They are weak on pipes. Both of
them like to get in the rear of the
store and pull their old tobacco stove.
Smoking is their only vice that know
but they are losing money by it, more
money than they put into pipes and
tobacco.
That is enough in that direction
About stuck stamps, They got an or
der by mail and the distant customer
put in about 200 postage stamps.
The weather was damp and hot and
when the boys got the order the
stamps were very friendly. The post
Office would not exchange good ones
for them SO the stuck cnes were sent
back
They did not again hear from that
customer and the chances are that
they never will.
Now. there is man near them who
does more business in one day than
they Go in six months and his mail
clerks never send back stuck stamps,
They soak them apart dry and use
them.
Ia the business world, to have a
growing trade and please the various
kinds, of people. one must do his own
duties well and often do the work
that belongs to others. A good busi-
ness man does more than his part, and
does it cheerfully.

THE SALARlED PARTNER.

When civilization lifted the indus
tries from slavery into salary great
gain was made for individual liberty.
While many in the past have been,
some in the present are and few in
the fuelre will be born to be owned
by employers because they are lack
ing in financial intelligence and there
fore are commercial children. yet the
best employer is the businesslike-in-al
things person, and the best employe
is the one who works for the employer
the same as the employer works for
the customer.
The ideal employe is not an en-
ploye in the sense that word is used,
but seller of time. skill and earnest
ness. and really becomes a partner on
a salary and an annual dividend de-
pendent on conditions.
Many employees remain longer with
some firms and become more success
tul than some partners. Where an
employer in place of increasing an
employees salary has given the en-
ploye an annual sum dependent on
work and profits the plan has been SO
successful that in some cases en-
ployes have asked tor reduction in
salary and an increase in the annual.
The best employe works for the en-
ployer at whatsoever with concen-
trated energy In place of seeking
other places, other places are seeking
this employe. Such employees never
think about getting in line" because
they are in line and know that to get
out of line is to murder their own
ability, which is their stock in trade.
They do as they would be done by.
They "speak WE'LL" think well" and
'stand by" their employer.
What interest in firm does an en-
ploye have who draws a salary of
nine dollars a week? That means an
Investment of over nine thousand dol
lars at five per cent interest. If it had
not been for brains, money and hard
work of others what would an en-
lloye have to do to earn nine dollars?
| know of case where an office boy
gets salary larger than the income
Of man and his wife and grown-up
son with ter thousand-dollar invest
ment. The office boy is bright and de-
voted to his work. but he does not
work very hard, while the three peo-
pie mentioned do work very hard. The
good side for the three hard workers
is that they respect their money and
make dimes do the work of dollars.
For all know tha- Office boy makes
<Nf1 h; I l. hot
some do not, and You know that
large part of many easy incomes is
spent TO the injury Of the owner But
this special boy may be caring for
mother and sister or educating the
brother or helping his father get out
of debt. 1t is for cur good to think
well and hope better and be cheerful
and constructive
