Hot Air for Melons.

One of my neighbors has n melon
patch and for two years the cold sum-
mers have made 1t nearly a failure.
As go by 1t l have chance every
day to see the green balls on the
ground and think Of various things.
Certain men, as well as melons. need
"hot air." as nothing else appears to
be able to bring them out of their
sluggishness. There is a place in this
world for the enthusiast who does
nothing but talk. for the animation of
hearers and the benefit of sleepy ones.
A great many people could have their
ability increased ten, twenty or thirty
per cent by absorbing some Of the
enthusiasm of the enthusiast.

Just Four Hours,

father found his daughters desk
clock stopped and when he asked her
II she would like it started she said
she would. He wound 1t up looked at
his watch and set the minute hand.
but forgot to set the hour hand. As
he set it down he glanced at 1t again
to audit his work and discovered his
error-it was just four hours slow.
His auditing glance took no time-no
extra time-as he did 1t while replac-
ing the timepiece, and his doing 1t
saved his work on It and he is more
cautious than ever, which means n
creased personal skill.

Reotifyins the Record.

The following incident is related as
having occurred in South Africa: One
of the soldiers who had been reported
killed In a certain battle and against
whose name in the regimental books
note to that effect had been maec
nfterward turned up and reported him
self. Then the sergeant made another
note in the book: 'Died by mistake"
The man was placed in the hospital
and few weeks later succumbed to
the injuries he had received. This fact
was communicated to the sergeant
through the colonel of the regiment
md then third note was made:
"Redied by order of the colonel"

Dictionary-Directory.

An office man came in and asked
the manager for the dictionary.
The manager opened his eyes and
said. Dictionary"
= Then the Office man corrected him
rectory.
The Office man made the same error
several times. then began to hunt for
cause and cure.
In his youth he had been frequent
user OF dictionary about the size of
the directory which occasionally he
borrowed of the manager
When he wanted the directory he
wanted n big book and his voice was
used to saying dictionary.
AS he started to borrow the dircc-
tory he would begin to think of other
subjects and unconsciously let his
voice box work without the attention
of his head.
When the voice box is left to man
age itself it follows the path of least
resistance or previous ways due to
habit.
He conquered this to him an easy
error by talking it over with himself
and reviewing his mistake and advis-
ing himself to be more cautious.
Ws are able to form habits of eau
lion by starting, repeating and keep
ing at 1t. You try telling yourself that
you had better watch yourself when

A New Classification.

DIR. Francis r. Lane. until lately
director of the high schools OF Wash
ington, is fond Of repeating the fol-
lowing extract from composition sub
mitted to him for approval during the
days when he was worker in the
school-teaching ranks. The extract
runs as follows: Beings are divided
into names, according to that which
they feed on. The lion eats fiesh-the
lion is carnlyorous. The cow eats
grass-thc COW is herbarious. Man
eats everything. Therefore. man is
omnlpotent."

When Wondering HIndered Winning.

When Wondering HIndered Winning.
A man was standing at one end OF a
street car and a lady was standing at
the other end.
There was one vacant seat and the
conductor called the ladys attention
to II. but she preferred to remain
where she was.
The vacant seat was between two
Indies. and one of these ladies' sat next
to a man.
The other lady by the vacant seat
tried to get the lady by the man to
move next to her 80 that the man
who was Standing could sit down by
the man who was seated.
The lady next to the man did not
move, though the other lady pulled
her by the sleeve and motloned for
her to sit near her
In place of sitting down between
the two ladies the man began to won
der II the lady who would not move
could be the sister or wife of the man
who sat by her, and while he was
wondering another man back OF him
came forward and took the seat. Then
the man who was standing soon saw
the lady about whom he was wonder
ing get OFF from the car alone. Would
some men hesitate to sit between two
ladies just because a person by mo-
tion without words had limited that 1t
might be better to sit between a man
and lady than between two ladies'?
