Wanted to See the Crack.

It is not only the foreigner learn
ing our language who is confused
by the several meanings attached to
one word. The little learner of our
own land also finds it an additional
burden in gaining a knowledge of
the mother tongue.
In childish alteration in Ger
mantown nursery recently a small
boy of three and a half struck his
sister, two years old, severe blow
on the head with a tennis racket.
His mother, after bringing the
youthful transgres sor to a sense of
his misdeed, asked him between his
sobs:
CHOW, Robbie, aren't you sorry
you gave your poor sister such a
crack on the head %
Robbie's sobs instantly subsidized,
and, with his tear stained face full
of eagerness, he exclaimed:
ooh, mamma, let me see the
crack !"-Philadelphia Press.

There is nothing as doleful as the
company of person with a droop-
ing mouth. 49, .uho
are facing some awful calamity OF
passing through some great sorrow
we do not expect them to be mer-
nv at least not until time can soften
the pain-but to that great mass OF
people who take life too seriously
who allow triaes to irritate them,
petty obstacles to discourage them,
little disappointments to depre!sss
them, those people who magnify
their troubles and retail their woes,
those people who imagine they are
to be pitied and with dropping
mouth pose for sympathy.
Cheer up! Get the droop out OF
your mouth. Make the corners OF
your mouth turn up instead OF
down. If no other way, take your
fingers and twist the corners up.
When you are feeling irritated OF
depressed or discouraged or tired
watch your mouth. Don't let the
corners sag. Make the corners bow
upward even if you have to use the
finger exercise. Do this when you
are feeling your worst, and very
soon the sun will shine brighter, the
sky will take on a bluer tint, the
WEAKNESS, the annoyance, the dis
appointment and depression will
have vanished, and life will be all
rose color again.-Medical Talk.

Education and Business.

It may as well be admitted that
college training doesn't teach q
man to keep books or to sell goods
What education aims to do is to ed
ucate to develop the man, to awak-
en- him to the problems Of the world,
to widen his horizon. There is no
danger that not enough attention
shall be given to commercial deVel-
opment. But there is a possibility
that the business man may become
narrowed to his task and fail to take
an interest in the world of ideas
about him. Education ought not to
prevent man from acquiring the
necessary details of business, and it
ought to make him more valuable
citizen. That most successful bust
ness men believe this is shown by
the fact that they are sending their
sons to college.-Kansas City Star.

Vine TRIMMING Clerks.

In May of every year the wineries
in the neighborhood of East Finch
ley and Barnet, England, give en-
pToyment to hundreds of unemploy-
ed clerks and salesman who go out
from London, They are engaged in
trimming the clusters Of vines, re-
moving all ragged edges and tainted
fruit. For this labor, which is done
in a hioh temperature, the men re-
ceive out $6.75 a week, out of
which they pay their own board and
lodging. The vine growers prefer
unemployed clerks for this work,
which is of nature too delicate to
be undertaken by ''horny handed"
help.

ABOLISH MORE AGENCIES.
Roosevelt Approves Proposed Change
In Indian Service.

Washington, June 26.-The commits
sioner of Indian affairs has decided to
extend the operations of the policy of
displacing Indian agents wherever pos
sible with bonded school superintend-
ents. On July it is the purpose Of the
commissioner to abolish several agen-
cies in the West, placing the affairs
of the Indians in charge Of officials
connected with the educational system
of the service. This policy has been
desperately resisted wherever it has
been tried, but, Notwithstanding, it is
understood that it will be extended
and that President Roosevelt cordially
approves the purpose of the Indian
commissioner in this connection. AS
far as can be learned no additional
agencies in the Northwest will be abol-
ished at this time.

the efforts of the Armour house in
throwing 100000 bushels on the mar
ket. These sales were absorbed so
quickly that Armour's traders were
soon silenced and offered no more.

A JOKE ON FIELD.
President Harrison Enjoyed 1t, but
the Austere Judge Did Not.


For all his ice and chilly quie-
tudes President Harrison owned a
sense of humor and would now and
then get hold Of joke and treasure
1t as a schoolboy might an apple,
having it frequently out of his peck
ct to exhibit and admire. One such,
says writer in the Saturday Even
ing Post, is a story he was ever
quick to tell on the austere Justice
Field, who didn't like it.
Complaining letters of all sorts
come to a president. One day a
western marshal grew querulous be-
cause an item in his accounts, by
which the government was charged
with carriage furnished Field from
his hotel to the court, had been dis
allowed. The marshaPs grief was
made the sharper since his fellow
marshal of an adjoining state had
likewise furnished a carriage for
Field when he held court within his
district and the charge had been al
lowed and paid.
Commonly little attention is Civ
en- to these cries of the Wronged be-
You'd what is required to shunt them
upon proper" official, usually
the one against whom complaint is
lodged. But in this instance Harri-
son asked his secretary to discover
the truth of the trouble. Why was
one charge allowed and the other re-
fused?
The secretary took look into the
riddle and learned that the fortu-
nate one had been sagacious enough
to include the carriage for Field in
his item of expense 'EFor care and
transportation of prisoners. In
that way it was allowed. It used to
give Harrison much pleasure to re-
late this yarn. Field, however, saw
nothing funny in it.

A DROPPING MOUTH.
If You Have One Get Rid of 1t and
You Will Feel Better.


Don't let your mouth droop. A
dropping NJ 18th is responsible for
many sickness. When you are not
feeling well, when you are tired or
discouraged, disappointed or de-
pressed, the first indication will be
the droop in the mouth. When the
mouth droops, then the mental ac-
tivities droop, the bodily functions
droop, and the whole physical or
ganism gets out of repair, and you
feel droopy and you look droopy. A
droopy individual, like droopy
chicken, is not very charming or
inspiring sight and perhaps, like
the droopy barnyard fowl, should
be isolated from his companions.
