The Cool snslsh way.


We Anglo Saxons are apt to pride our
selves upon being undemonstrative. Max
Adler tells tale of boy who was sent
out by his father to fetch in some wood.
The boy took the opportunity of disap-
pearing, and did not show his face again
beneath tho parental roof for over
twenty years. Then one evening smil-
ing, well-dressed stranger entered to the
old couple and announced himself as
their long-lost child. "Well, you haven't
hurried YOURSELF grumbled the old

took his seat at table near by and
glancing around and meeting my friends
eyes smiled and nodded. excuse me a
minute" said my friend; 81 must just
speak to my brother; haven't seen him
for over FIVE years." He finished his
soup and leisurely wiped his moustache
before strolling across and shaking
hands. They talked for while, then
my friend returned to me. "Never
thought to see him again." observed my
friend. "He was one of the garrison at
that place in Africa,-what's the name
of it?-that the Mahdi attacked. Only
three of them escaped. Always was q
lucky beggar, JIM" "But wouldn't

Violence Never Pays.

John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, in an article
published in the Chicago Interior IA re-
ligious paper with Presbyterian affilia'
tions), takes strong ground against the
use of violence by labor unions. Mr.
Mitchell points out that in his wide OK.
perience there never has been a case
where riot, disorder, bodily assault, OF
physical intimidation aided the cause OF
the strikers. The reverse of the propo'
sition is also true and there never has
been case in which violence did not dc
harm. The distinguished labor leader
very properly calls attention to the fac,
that too often the unlawful and riotOus
actions of one or two disaffected strikers
are placed in the limelight of publicity
while people are apt to forget the law
abiding hundred thousand, who are con
tending for what they believe to be theil
rights, but who would not lift hand
against their fellows or break any Law
directly or indirectly.
Mr.. Mitchell's article, widely copied al
it will be, addressed to the sober sense
of employers and employed generally
should do incalculable good. Recent
action in Chicago and elsewhere, by
labar unions who punished violent mem
bers, and punished them severely. show:
a trend that has in it much of comfort tt

cate outbreaks between capital and labor

for it is still growing. Isn't that fine
showing of success? Don't it prove that
August Flower has had unfailing success
in the cure of indigestion and dyspepsia
the two greatest enemies of health and
happiness? Does it not afford the best
evidence that August Flower is sure
specific for all stomach and intestinal
disorders?- it has proved itself the
best of all liver regulators? August
Flower has a matchless record of over
thirty-five years in curing the ailing
millions of these distressing complaints

Little folks
now Mr.. SNAPPER FIXED
THE STYLES

Old Mr.. Snapper wandered leisurely
out Of tile pond one bright spring morn
ing and made for the back yard of the
farmhouse. He had lain In the mud all
winter and was now glad Of the chance
to get out and see something. While
he was meditating in his slow fashion
as to the probable crop Of spring gnats
he was startled by loud caterwauls.
He crawled to where the noise SEEM
ed to come from, and there. on the top
of the chopping block, were Tom and
Jerry in a most awful dispute.

know it, you horrid thing" said Tom.
"No, sir. 1t oughtn't to be but five.

They're quarreling about the length
of their tails, do believe" said Snap,

Old Tree superstitions.

The old Teutonic and Saxon races
n central and northern Europe, be
fore the introduction and spread OF
Christianity, had great veneration fol
trees. They would never willingly
damage them. Under large trees, espe
cially old oaks, the great councils
were held and judgment given, and the
graves of this people were found In
groves, they always being buried un-
der the roots of tree. This all was a
result Of the superstition that their
gods lived In those trees. In the linden
tree Berchta dwelt. a benign spirit who
took charge Of the babies and rocked
their cradles when the nurses fell
asleep; In the oak, Donar, the thunder
god; in the willows all sorts Of spirhs,
In the elder trees the dwarfs. When
ever the festivals of these gods were
celebrated their trees were decorated
with lights, wreaths and questen (tas-
sels), and offerings were hung In the
branches, which, however, were plum
dered again when the festival was
over, the gods being supposed only to
annropriate the best,

Wild Dogs of Africa.

or the wild dog of central Africa an
explorer writes: The wild dog is COM
mon enough. He is an ugly looking
beast, with a pied body, coarse hair'
short head and large, upright ears.
These wild dogs play fearful havoc
with game, occasionally clearing out
whole districts precisely N the same
manner as the red dhole Of India, be-
fore which even the tiger is said to re-
treat. They have wonderful power
of scent, wonderful holiness, endur-
ance and pertinacity, and their loose
easy gallop covers the ground far more
quickly than it appears to do. They
usually hunt in considerable packs, al
though | have sometimes met them IN
threes and tours. | have never heard
of wild dogs actually attacking man.

point of doing so, and unarmed travel

A Remedy for Nail Biting,

By all readers of character, whatever
method they may use, it is considered q
very bad sign to bite the nails, and ever
though we consider character reading
from such signs as ridiculous, our own
common sense tells us that nail biting
denotes nervous condition that is any
thing but desirable, especially in child
and it is when one is a child that this
habit is generally formed.
1t is said to denote a vicious tempera
ment and an ugly temper,-quick, nerv
Gus and treacherOus; and we are further
advised in all books on character reading
to keep away from persons who bite the
nails.
There are ways and means to dis
courage the biting of nails in very small
children, but if the habit has been al
lowed to gain strength for number OF
years, one must wait little longer until
pride asserts itself, and the culprit him
self breaks the habit.
For the very small child who bites the
nails, try dipping the fingers after the
hands are washed into solution OF
glycerine to which has been added
enough aloes or quinine to give it a very
bitter taste. The writer has in mind
certain parents who smile at little maid
who bites her nails, thinking it extreme
ly "cute" to see their little daughter
gnaw away her nails whenever she is al
all nervous or fretful. Not only is she
running the shape of her nails for life-a
fact she will live to bitterly regret some
day when other girls display the fine
work of a manicure-but perhaps these
parents do not realize that scientists who
Have investigated the matter declare
that nail biting is hereditary, and is in
dicative of a phase of nervousness tina,
passes from one generation to another
1t is really very grave habit, much
more so than many believe, and parents
should do everything in their power to
help child to break it, appealing to q
little girls pride and giving her the bene
fit of strong thoughtful suggestion at al
times.
Nail biting should be discouraged at
the start, as after the habit is formed il
will be hard to break it.-New Idea.
