Walk as if You Were Somebody,

" dhh az II ou sCFC oOutcbONys
Never allow your physical standard
to drop. Keep up your energy: walk
as if you We're somebody and were
going to do something worth while in
the world, so that even stranger will
note your bearing and mark your supe-
riority. If you have fallen into a habit
Of walking in a listless, indolent way,
turn right about face at once and
make n change. You don't want to
shuttle along like the failures we often
see sitting around on park benches, or
lolling about the streets. with their
hands i'll their pockets, or haunting in
telligence offices, and wondering why
fate has been so hard with them. You
don't want to give people the impress
sion that You are discouraged, or that
you are already falling to the rear.
Straighten up, then! Stand erect! Be
man! You are child of the Infinite
King. You have royal blood in your
veins. Emphasize it by your bearing.
\ man who is conscious Of his kin
ship with God, and of his power, and
who believes thoroughly in himself,
walks with a firm, vigorous step. with
his head erect, his chin in, his shoul-
ders thrown back and down, and his
chest well protected in order to give a
large lung capacity; he is the man who
does things.
You cannot aspire, or accomplish
great or noble things so long us yoy
assume the attitude and bearing of
or weakling. If you would be
noble and do noble things. you must
look up. You were made to look up
ward and to walk upright, not to look
down or to shamble along in semi
position. Put character. dig
nifty. nobility into your walk.-O. S.

A Teacher,s Testin,onv.

Hinton, KY, Nov. 2S.-(Special.) y
1t has long been claimed that Diabetes
is incurable, but Mr. Z. J. Thompson
teacher in the Hinton school. has
pleasing evidence to the contrary. Mr.
Thompson had Diabetes. He took
Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In
a statement he makes regarding his
cure Mr.. Thompson says:
81 was troubled with my kidneys for
more than two years and was treated
by two of the best doctors in this part
Of the State. They claimed had Dia-
betes and there was little to be done
for me. Then started to use Dodd' s
Kidney Pills and what they did for me
was wonderful. 1t is entirely owing
to Dodd's Kidney Pills that 1 am now
enjoying good health"
Many doctors still maintain that Dia-
betes is incurable. But Diabetes is a
kidney disease and the kidney disease
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will lot cure
has yet to be discovered.

"I suppose you've all either read or

twenty Thousand Miles of Track Un.

,, Although the miles of railway al.
ready built and in use in the diminu.
tive country Of Japan would make a
double track across the American con.
tinent, the sunrise kingdom has reach.
ed only the first period in its railway
age, says the Booklovers' Magazine.
When the lines now under construction
and proposed are completed, Japan
will have 10000 miles of track. Its
railway men estimate that during the
coming decade their country will pur-
chase 1000 locomotives, 10000 passen-
ger coaches and 10000 freight cars.
Here Is an opportunity for American
enterprise; for there Is tendency on
the part of the Japanese, just at pres
ent, to look to the United States for
ideas in regard to railway equipment
and management. Hitherto England
has been Japan's model in railway af-
fairs.
One ride in railway train in the
land of the rising sun does much to
dislllusionize the American, who car
ries TO that country the belief that
Uncle Sam is the godfather of Japan.
Take train at Yokohama and ride
to Tokyo, and but for the character
of your fellow passengers you could
readily believe you were travelling

system is thoroughly British. 1t is

other things, how he can forward his

Teaching Parrots Ho. TO Talk.

One of the peculiar institutions" oil
the Quaker City and of the world is
the school for parrots, recently estab
lished by woman. These initiative
birds are here taught to speak by
means Of phonograph. The custom
in teaching parrots the lingo which
they prattle so amusingly has been for
the teacher to crouch in a corner cut
of sight Of the bird and repeat thou
sands of times the same word, the
same phrase, till his back ached and
his voice refused to emit more than
whisper. The way devised by this
woman requires no exertion and is
much more successful. She sets a
phonograph going at the parrots ear
and then attends to other affairs. The
phonograph, with precision and a
perseverance man could never equal,
drums into the ears of "Polly" the
sentence that is to be learned. The
term at the Philadelphia phonograph
school of languages for parrots lasts
six months. The tuition fee is $40 q
term.
