DECLINE OF MOTORCYCLE.
The Machine Is Not Meeting with
Practical Requirements
in England.

Consul Mahin. of Nottingham, Eng
land, writes that efforts to overcome
the Unpopularity Of the motor bicycle,
because Of its failure to meet every
condition Of road travel, have proved
unsuccessful. The consul says:
The chief promise Of the motor cy-
Gle rested in the expectation that these
Objectionable points would eventually
be eliminated. But they have not been,
and the expectation that they will be
is fading away. Consequently, those
who have the machines are growing
anxious to sell them at any prOcurable
price, while those who nave none are
beyond temptation to buy at almost
any figure. The result, OF course, Is Q
collapse in market prices. New motor
bicycles, which a-yesr ago sold at 1918,
are now offered at sl25. Several firms,
formerly engaged extensively in max
ing motor cycles. have entirely aban-
doned that branch AS might be ex-
pected, the ordinary bicycle is in cor
respondingly high favor. The output
Of factories is large at present and
prices are firm. These condiTlons are
not likely to be disturbed unless the
motor cycle should be 50 radically i'm
proved as to remedy its present seri-
Gus faults"

CHARACTER AS AN ASSET.
II Has Much to Do with q Mans
Credit and Standing In the
Business World.

did you ever stop to think Just how
much character has to do with mans
credit In the business world?" asked q
man Of the Milwaukee Sentinel. while
It Is not regarded a. good business
principle from a bankers standpoint
to loan money out without sufncient
and good property security, still 1t Is
done q great many times. A man Will
enter a banks doors with the request
for q loan and II he Is sized up as hon
est and possessed OF business acumen
he will hardly ever fail to get credit
for any reasonable amount
That is not so true In the east a.
It is out west. In the east . different
atmosphere prevails, while in the west
men Of means will take q mans char
acter as his principal asset. That fact
has had q great deal to do with the de-
velopment Of the &C untry. In Scotland.
! am told, q man with q good character
and known to possess business ability
can secure any reasonable amount Of
money to start In business without
giving any security other than his
promissory note.
The same principle prevails to q
great extent In selling goods on the
road. Some houses will not deliver an
order unless the buyer Is rated highly.
But have sold many an order and at
the same time written my house that
the buyer is all right. although his
financial standing is not known. The
house will often take the salesman's
word for It.
"Of course, sometimes the man who
risks on no security comes out at the
little end of the horn. But 1t Is the
exception rather than the rule"

tributed in Large Measure to
Use Of Sweets.

Various reasons have been assigned
for the increase in stature and strength
of the modern maiden, who has most
certainly grown uncommonly tall and
proportionately muscular during the
last few years. II cannot be that out
door sports. gymnastic exercises and
80 on have stretched her out and made
her as strong as she is, because her
brothers have had precisely the same
advantage and they have not developed
at the same rate. The secret lies in the
fact that Of recent years girls have be-
come far greater consumers Of sweet
meats than were their mothers and
grandmothers.
Time was when We should never
have dreamed q having sweets on our
luncheon. dinner and tea tables. Now
it would be quite extraordinary were
one not to OFFER these dainties. And,
what II more, We are not mel ely con-
tent to eat sweetmeats at our meals,
but We consume them at all times and
In all places between meals. It was
recently said that boxes Of bonbons

loye-making, sweets to the sweet" be-
ing apparently the text by which every
young man Of the day guides himself
through the devious paths Of court

The great Russian wrestler who II

more sweet stuff one eats the stronger
one grows. Sugar Is the secret Of

ODD FELLOWSHIP AND ITS OIL
GIN AMONG MEN.


History tells us that Odd Fellow
ship was first established among RO-
man Soldiers in the days Of Nero.
About 81 years after the Birth OF
Christ But history traces it's origin
to some period anterior to the Chris
tian era. There were two bodies OF
men reported to have practiced It.
One Eleusis, a small town of Atica,
in Greece, and another which was
incorporated at Teos, Asia Minor by
King of Pergamos. The members Of
the former were initiated in what was
called the Dionysian Mysteries. They
had signs and pass words; so that
they could distinguish those who had
become members Of their fraternity.
History also tells us that secret soci-
cites existed amongst the Israelites B.
c. SOC when captives in Babylon. They
were deprived of carrying on their
religious worship of their God. Ac-
cording to the law of Moses. They
had degrees, pass words and signs so
that they could tell each other by
night as well as by day.
History tells us again of the secret
societies" of the Eleusian mysteries
that were brought in to Athens by
Gumalpus, B. {. 1856. Odd Fellow
ship is from the following Descem-
tantis and Origins, Egyptian school
1900 years B. c. We trace it all
along the line by tradition to Greece
still from there to Rome 81 years A.
d. Odd Fellowship got her model from
the Eleusinian Mysteries. Egypt is
the mother of all secret societies. The
first account of the order being
spread in other countries are in the
fifth century. When it was estab-
lished in the Spanish Dominions and
the sixth century by King Henry in
Portugal in the twelfth century. Ii
was established in France and after
ward by John DE Neville in England
attended by five knights from France
who formed a loyal grand lodge of
honor in London. We assert. there
fore Of odd Fellowship that its ma
terials, life blood and heat and soul
are as old as the solemn and binding
obligations that united the beating
hearts Of the first pair in the garden
of Eden. When angels were

THE AVERAGE Man,

< The factor which is overlooked by
 those who fear the. ascendency of any quixofie notion is the existence of the average man. This individual is not a striking personality, but he holds the
 balanee of power. Before any extrava-5 gailt idea can establish itself 1t must convert the average man. He is very
 susceptible and takes a suggestion so readily that 1t seems to prophecy the complete overthrow of the existing orr der of things. But was ever a conver-
 sion absolute? The best theologians say no. "A great deal of the old Adam
 is always left over. When the average
 man takes up with a quixotic notion, only So much of it is practically
 wrought out as he is able to cornpre- hend. The old Adam of coraoil sense asserts itself. The natural corrective of quixotisnl is Sancho Pan-|
 zaisrn. The solemn knight, with his head full of visionary plans, is follow. sed by a squire who Is as faithful as his nature vii permit. sancho has no theories and makes no demands on the
 world. He leaves that sort of thing to his master. He has the fatalism which

 he has all the credulity of ignorance

BULLET WOUNDS.
May Be Injury and Surgical Operation

May Be Injury and Surgical Operation All in On'e-Lung Wounds Serious ! Surgeon Edward A. Bell of St. Louis,
 who has seen a good deal of service
 in Cuba and the Philippines as voi- unteer surgeon, was discussing the subject of rifle wounds the other night l at the Grand in reference to the war in the Far East when he was asked this question: '..'What makes a man die when he's hit by bullet?"
 There are three reasons-shock, hemorrhage, and blood poisoning, he replied. "A bullet cuts its way through skin muscle, nerve, bone, ar- tery-then the wounded man falls to the ground. That's natures little plan, you know. for getting him on his back and relieving the heart of the heavy work of forcing blood against gravity into the brain."
 What happens when he gets buI-
 let through his brain?"
 ''Croaks, generally. If the bullet is a Mauser, however, and if it's velocity
 be great enough, it is quite capable. of passing clear through the skull, piere-
 ing the bone plate on one side, tra-
 versing the intervening brain, and
 breaking out through the other side
 without killing. A number of such
 instances happened to soldiers in the
 Spanish-American War. | You see, ifathese bullets are travel
