able shack gets its odd name from the
fact that no women are allowed there.
The X-ray ailment developed several
years ago while Edison was expert
menting with the Roentgen rays. He it
was who perfected the Horoscope An
assistant named Daley helped him in
his work. Daley had his face near the
X-ray. Edison had the strange light
near his stomach. Daley developed a
cancer on his face. 1t killed him
month ago. Edison is now in constant
fear of a cancer in his stomach That
is why he had to give up his X-ray ex-
periments.
Partly for recreation he began visit
ing 1.-THE Monastery to work on a
new invention in cement. And in this
he is now engrossed. He retires at 3
o'clock in the morning and rises at 6
a. m. The rest Of the day is spent in
work or day drea ming" There is
something weird about these dream
ing spells" For hours he sits in
chair, his massive head buried in his
L,
and his thumbs twitching conyulsively.
No one can rouse him at these times.
Birds hop at his feet and perch upon
his shoulder Caterpillars drop from
the trees and go on exploring expedi-
tons through his shabby clothes -
through the shabby clothes Of a man
whose wealth is placed at low esh-
mate at $4,O00,O00. Always when he
energies from his dreams" he has
some fresh idea, some new plan to pur-
sue.
The people In Stewartsville love and
fear this wonderfully weird man. He
has changed greatly, they say In only
one respect. declare the knowing ones,
is he the Tom Edison Of former years

It may always have been SO, but 1t
is especially true to-day, that this coun-
try is producing higher type of wom-
anhood than Of manhood. In all our
towns and cities there are more young
women whom you would welcome to
your homes as daughters-in-law than
young men whom you would welcome
as sons-in-law. There are reasons why
this is so, but there is no excuse that
it is so. There is nothing in the world
so well worth looking after as the boy,
and there Is no human being in the
world SO neglected. We have pro-
vided little place, scant room for him
He is welcome to the home as baby
and he is welcome as a man, but there
is little welcome for him as a boy.
We chaperon our girls and carefully
guard them against unworthy boys,
but we leave the boy to choose for him
self his associates and his achieve
ments. We give him much sage adj
vice, perhaps, but little sympathetic
guidance. The loneliest, most unloved
human creature Is the boy. Girls are
naturally winsome, gentle, companion
able. They win their way in homes
and hearts. But the boy, noisy, awk-
ward, mischievous, is invited into few
homes and feels none too much at
home in his own. About the only door
that swings with sure welcome to the
boys, about the only chair that is
showed near the fire especially for the
boy, about the only place wherU ne is
sure of cordial greetings where he
ought not to go. It is one of the hard
est things in the world to get hold of
a boy-to get sure grip on him. 1t
Is hard to win the companionship, the
faith and confidence Of your boy. He
has almost occult powers Of observa-
ton and conclusion. You think you
know him through an occasional
glance, but the chances are he knows
you far better than you know him. He
Is hungry for companionship and he
will have 1t. You can't chain him
away from it. He wants the COM
partnership Of boys, and nothing will
take its place. If the rime Of selfish
ness has so 1ncased your heart that
the joys and hopes Of your boy cannot
enter into it, the boy is to be pitied,
but so are you. Few fathers and sons
are more than fairly intimate acquaint-
ances. 1t Is always the fathers fault

Spain is about to abolish bull-f1ght-
ing. No country in the civilized world
has changed so much in the last six
years as Spain. The effect of the
prompt and unequivocal defeat admin
stered to her navy by the United
States has been highly beneficial to
NE nation. Her people no longer stand
against wall and whine. The loss of
heir colonies has proved an incentive

A magazine writer says the church
Is in crying need Of business clergy
men," He explains that congregations
of which he knows have grown from
almost nothing to great size because OF
the business ability Of the pastors
chosen to lead them. He thinks tbs
influence of the church will wane and
dwindle unless men fitted to deal with
administrative and financial problems
enter the ministry in large numbers.
We do not remember ever having seen
the commercial trend Of the present
age better illustrated than in this ar
ticle. Probably the writer would con-
slider a great poet, a great scholar or a
great statesman a failure unless his
success were attested by the number
Of his disciples or the size Of his bank
account. Business ability Is a good
thing to have, whatever ones calling
but the need of the church is more true
spirituality in it's leadership.

A merchant in an Iowa town states
that his advertising last year cost him
81 cents for every 500 worth of goods
sold. He used a half page for his
business announcement each week and
says that as long as people read news
papers he will advertise. There's a
man possessed Of good head. Just
as soon as merchants begin to look
upon advertising as branch of the
business which requires as much care
as any part Of 1t, then will advertising
pay. Honesty, force, originality and
persistency in advertising make it q
paying investment.

An advertisement which is so con-

satisfied that his time has not been
wasted, even though he has no need of

good bid for publicity. An advertisers
offering should have enough thought
and care and skill put on it to pay any
one for reading it whether he Is a

should be instructive, thought stimu-
lattng and newsy. It is worth some

STIMMEL ASLEEP
AT THE SWITCH
COLUMBUS WON OUT BY A GAR
RISON FINISH.
Oyler and Leslie Had Bad Day
Watkins on the Hunt for a First
Baseman to Succeed Campion-
MaIoney's Base Stealing.

Columbus, June 7.-Archibald Stimmel.
the lanky pitcher Of the Minneapolis
'.toothpick battery" went to sleep at the
eighth inning switch yesterday afternoon
at a time when 1t looked as tho Mime
apolis had the discoveries tied to the
fence. When he wakened the Columbus
FLYER had passed and it was too late to flag
it at the next semaphore. The game
ended with a score Of 80 in favor of the
locals.
Oyler had a bad day, making two ex-
pensive errors. McNichols added another
and Leslie accumulated one. Maloney
played O. star game in the bases, starting
the fun in the third inning, when ne
reached second and third on steals, and
McNichols walked to first. Sullivan then
pounded out long single and Maloney
and McNichols scored. That was all FOR
Minneapolis turnout the game. ~
In the eighth inning Davis made
three Dagger and Wrigley scored him with
a single. Friel sacrificed and when kim
drove one to Oyler Leslie dropped the
ball, allowing Wrigley to score. Column
bus had previously scored one run In the
seventh.
Manager Watkins was not with the
team yesterday. He is on the road looking
for a first .baseman to take the place OF
Campion. Rumor has it that he is after a
big league man.
