Charity Richly Rewarded.

Henry Douglas, an ice wagon driver
Of Paducah, KY, cast his bread upon
the waters, to some purpose. He learnd
recently that a man he befriended two
years ego has left him the snug sum
Of $1,000. In 1900 boy tramp, known
as Greasy Jim," struck Paducah sick,
penniless and hungry. Douglas gave
the lad clothing and food and a place
to sleep. In a few weeks the youth
was well again and left town. A few
days ago Douglas received news that
James Holman, soldier in the Phil
ippines, who died in a Manila hospital,
had named him as his next friend.
This recalled to Douglas mind that
Greasy Jim's" last name was Holman.
He later received a formal notice from
an insurance company that the soldier
Holman had left life insurance pol
icy to the amount of $1,000, Douglas
being named in the policy as bene

His Offer.

Once upon a time there was young
man who, in the vanity of youth, be-
thought himself of unique thing.
The word vanity, as used above Ia
description of this immature adult,
leads gracefully to the fact that there
was a woman in the case--a young
woman.
The next night the young man went
down on his knees before the young
woman. He threw up his arms in the
approved fashion and rolled his eyes.
II offer myself to you" said he, "as
a New Years gift"
The young woman sighed to herself.
"Ah," she unused sadly. "if you could
only be taken back and exchanged for
something more suitablei" She
thought again. HE is reported to be
worth $15,vv0. oh, if he could only
be taken back and money cheerfully
refunded"
Rejecting thus bitterly upon the
hollowness of the world, she smiled
sweetly at him and laid her trusting
head upon his shoulder.
There is only one thing more decep-
tive than a woman's sweet smile and
that is the combined sweet smiles of
a plurality of women. At least that
was what a.sman once said who pro-
fessed to know. But then again, he
was a bachelor who had been crossed
in love: SO perhaps he doesn't count.

And In That Phrase he Summed Up
His Theories of Sea Fighting.
Our slang phrase. Get Next" APP
pears slightly paraphrased In letter
written by Lord Nelson to Lord War
wick not long before the battle OF Ira
falgar. Nelson had received from Lord
Warwick description of an invention
that aimed to increase the efficiency
OF the marine and field artillery of the
day. and to the letter containing that
description the victor OF the Nile re
piled in the following. which was
never published until a few weeks
ago, when the present Lord Warwick
read 1t at public dinner:
My Dear Lord feel very much
obliged for the favor of your letter.
and although am not good judge Of
mechanism, yet Care say your inven-
ton for making cannon range their
shots farther than at present will an
swer your expectations, and on shore,
N particular, 1t will be most useful.
Woolwich is the only place where
such an experiment can be plainly
tried by scientific men. On board ship
our wish is to get as close rs possible
to the enemy. Always endeavor to
inculcate the doctrine, Get close. and
you will be the victor"
The Get close" was underscored.
That one phrase admirably summed
up the whole Nelsonian theory of sea
strategy, the theory that led him to
dare the guns of the shore batteries
at Copenhagen and to sail the Victory
silently down the line of blazing
French and Spanish broadsides until
she reached her desired place in the
thickest of the most memorable sea
fight of modern history.

REEDS METHOD OF WORK.
Would Postpone II to the Last Minute
for Light Literature.

TOR Light Literature.
Many stories are told illustrative Of
Reeds methods OF work. He was ex.
tremely fond of what Is called light
literature" and would postpone work
on task he had before him to the
last possible moment In order to fin
ish some story or romance. He
always managed to get up steam, how.
ever in time to complete his work.
For weeks before his graduation
from college he was buried In the
treasures of fiction contained In
friends library. The number OF
speakers for commencement day had
been changed that year from fifteen
to ten, and Reed was reminded Of the
TACT by a college mate.
Time enough yet. Why have five
weeks!" he answered.
But the other fellows have been
working five months!"
Never mind" he answered as he
went on with his reading, '1'll have a
place on the program" And he did
so, standing fifth on the list of com
mencement orators.
Next to fiction he was fondest OF
oratory. He was student of parlia,
mentary law and Of oratory long be-
fore he himself became an authority
by the publication of the standard
works, Reeds Rules" and Modern
Eloquerce."
Another time Reed was asked to
contribute an article to a magazine by
certain date. AS usual. he put it off
Finally the last night of the allotted
time arrived, and Reed sat down al
his desk. intending to scribbie off an
apology for his inability and refusal
to write the article. Suddenly an idea
occurred to him. wrote feverishly
