SENSITIVE ABOUT CRIPPLED
MENTALITY.

Recognizing the defects that are In
the mental equipment of men ana
womt as one of the bars to their
progress, it is a striking fact that the
physical defect is less disability. A
friend of mine who has a printing oil
fee was walking through an alley sew
eral years ago and found man who
had lost both legs playing marbles
with some newsboys. He asked why
the man was not at work and was
told there was no work for him. My
friend looked the man over and told
him if he wanted work to do to wash
up and come clean to the Office on the
next Monday morning. The fellow
came and there found bench built for
him at the side of a job press, and
there he was placed to feed paper into
the machine. To-day he is regarded
as the best operator of press in the
whole establishment He could not
have been a bank messenger, but he is
an excellent press feeder, while with as
big a defect in the mental and moral
nature as is this legless state he
would have been untitled for anything.
Nature seems to be especially dis
posed toward the extinction of the
mentally deficient. If man has only
one leg there is not the least diff
Guilty in getting him to see the neces-
sity of a wooden one, but if he is lack
ing in two or three of the most i'm
portant personal attributes, mental
and moral, he shows resistance just
to the extent that he is lacking. If
he is lame physically he will take a
crutch that is handed to him, but if he
is lame Intellectually he will resent the
suggestion that he should take mental
treatment for the defect.

THE TANNING OF A TIGER.
How Clever Snowman Got the Best Of
Ferocious Man-Eater.

How Clever Snowman Got the Best Of
Ferocious Man-Eater.
THE trainers of wild beasts" said
John Lover Of the Zoo, sometimes
show good deal of originality in de-
vising means to subdue intractable
animals. For instance, there was a
Snowman | used to know named Mel
chior. He once bought for a song
a magnificent Bengal tiger, getting
1t so cheap because it had already
killed two men. This tiger had fe-
roctous nature Melchior at nrst would
put his foot or his hand into the cage,
but from the way it would leap at
him he knew that to put himself en-
tirely in its power would be suicide
Nothing he could do would establish
friendly relation between himself
and the tiger. Some originality was
needed, and Melchior showed it by
taking some old clothes, stufTing them
with rags and throwing them in the
cage. The tiger in a jiffy tore the
old clothes to pieces, thinking them
human being. Next day, and the
next day, and the next, Melchior con
tinued to throw in to the tiger stuffed
figures, and the tiger continued to
destroy them; only, as time passed,
the animal ceased to put heat into
It's work, and in the end. to make a
long story short, it gave up altogether
these attacks on the scarecrows-it
would Just play with them or else not
notice them at all. Now was Melchior's
time. He opend the cage door one
morning, walked in boldly and
slapped the tiger Familiarity on the
back. 1t gave him friendly look
and purred 1t took HIM, you see, for
another mannikin. 1t lived seven years
with Melchior and finally died of heart
trouble, and through all those seven
years it was as gentle as kitten. A
child could have handled it."-Phila-

Eornettlnn Transfer.

A passenger took certain street cars
to reach a point because on those cars
he could get transfers and save lit.
tie, but he forgot to ask for a transfer
and expected to have to pay that way
as much as any way.
1t happened that the cars were so
crowded that the conductor did not
reach him to collect the fare so he
didn't need transfer
This passenger was one who pays
the conductor whether he has to or
not, but on this occasion he felt that
he did not owe anything, or it may be
that he semi-felt so because he debat-
ed little in his mind over what to
do.
There is a case recorded where a
passenger got a convert to his religion
because he voluntarily paid the con
ductor after being overlooked. The
conductor asked him where he lived
and got acquainted with him in order
to learn what it was, in his blood or
brain, that made him do such a thing.
and then adopted his belief.
There is another case recorded
where a passenger gave a useful ex-
hibit, to a standing audience on the
rear of the car, by handing the con
ductor his fare after he had stepped
off the car. Another passenger said to
the conductor You don't see such
people very often, do YOU" and the
conductor replied: There are a few
of them left"

DANCING for Children.

1t is never good idea to send
child to the dancing class so distract
ingly gowned that she cannot put her
mind on the instructions of her teach
er. A simple little frock, not any
more "frilly" than any afternoon
pique dress she might wear, is best.
And for Reginald the same notion is
the most satisfactory, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. Do not insist on
making him tog out as brother Will
would when going to his first big din
ner. 1t seems almost a shame to
insist that children should wear high
buttoned or laced boots for the dane
ing class, but it is by far the most
sensible, for until the ankles are
strong and not prone to any turning
the high shoes, with, however, very
low heels, are the best.

The whIstIIna PASSENGER.


A tall, slim young man, with a stub

passenger when the coach got crowd

every few minutes would whistle parts

Passengers would look around try.
ing to discover the source of the en-
tertainment.
No one seemed to resent the I'M
usual part he took in the morning trip,
Some whistling sounds as if il
meant cowardice or conscious error
but this whistle had resemblance to
an overflow of normal mental activity
While he was waiting by the door
for the train to stop and while going
through and out of the station, he
whistled as if he had been waiting fol-
a chance to start in in earnest and
Kept 1t up. There is too little music
real music-in this world.
There is too much morbid music,
or self-selected soul opiate kind OF
melancholy vibration that weakens
for future fights with irritating con
ditions. Praise and push those who
turn out glad and wholesome tunes
and words.

"Mornin', Mary; mother letter from
Fred, 'spose-'t'as the South Africa

ing letter to the rosy-cheeked maid
en- waiting for him at the gate in the
break of the hedge.
Blushing, Mary took it and FASTENED
to the rosebower in the corner of the
garden where she had spent the last
blissful hour with Fred before his de-
parture for the front. To her it
seemed a fit place to read his letters.
She read and re-tead this particular
letter. Then with bounding step and
happy heart she ran into the cottage
and threw it into her mothers lap.
Read it, mother" she exclaimed.
What do you think? Fred's a hero"
While her mother was reading the
letter, some of Mary's girl friends
came In.
"The postman says you've a letter
from Fred" said one; "do tell us the
news, Mary; there's a dear"
Only too anxious. Mary took the let
ter from her mother.
I'm only going to read the news
to you, girls" she said, excitedly;
"but that's enough. Fred's a real
hero. He's saved a whole battalion.
Here's what he says:
81 expect you have read about it

you don't know yet. Our battalion
was ordered to take a strong position
held by the Beers, from which they
have been sneaking out and doing a
lot of mischief lately, blowing up
trains and cutting off transports. We
started out bright and early without
transportation, and with only three
days rations. We marched until
noon, when we encamped and rested
until sunset Then we resumed our
march, and marched all night, in or
der to surprise the enemy at dawn.

them. That river came near being
the slaughter-house for the whole bat
talion-it was for quite a number. The
road to the ford ran through a deep
gorge which opened into narrow val
ley, walled in by steep hills, and
through which flowed the river. We
cleared the gorge and our vanguard
was already halfway across the riv-
er, when the enemy opened fire on us
from the hills on the opposite side.
Somehow they had heard of our in
tended attack. We were completely
surprised and at their mercy. We
were in the open and unprotected

be seen. From every rock belched

dered the battery to play on them.

colonel reluctantly gave the order.

CAPABLE PEOPLE ALWAYS
NEEDED.

Touching the world of the employed
and the employer alike, | can say that
the world Is lacking woefully In com.
petent help, whether from the point
Of technical or personal equipment, or
the combination of both. There are
not enough capable people to do the
worlds work. The cry of the employ.
er is that his men lack interest in the
work; that they are indolent and de-
void Of concentration. This is not a
new complaint and long ago it was de-
cided that the time clock would rem
edy the evil It has done 1t, however,
il has unnamed men and has ma
chine made the idler it has brought
workers to the shops on time, but has
left them there, good and bad, on the
same general plane of service-the
idler anxious to beat the machine if he
can; the competent. Industrious one
Indifferent If he shall do so.
There must be better method than
this evolved in the business world.
Already in some houses there is a dis
position to discredit the clock and the
idea of the cashiers punching a hole
each day in the pay envelope of the
employe has been introduced as a sub
stitute. The clock, of course, is a CON
fession on the part of the employer
that he cannot get the class of en-
ployes that he would like to have. and
the worst feature of it is that when
he gets a good man and subjects him
to the system, that good man is less
good because of it.
Again, as to the personality of the
man employed, he will make fewer
mistakes ont of his personal equip
ment of judgment, memory, concen-
tration, and self-control than will be
saved him by proficiency in technical
knowledge. A character may have all
the technical knowledge in the world
and if it has not these four personal
attributes it's training will have gone
for nothing.

Turtle of Britain.

A huge turtle was found off the
island of Lewis last week. The fisher
men had never beheld such queer
beast" and got it into their boat and
brought it across to Mallaig with their
cargo of fish. They were considerably
astonished when a gentleman staying
at the hotel there informed them that
the creature was worth more than the
whole of the rest of the catch. They
sent it off to the Birmingham market
along with the other fish, and were de-
lighted beyond words when they
shared the resulting check. 1t is ex-
ceedingly rare to find turtles off the
