"Do widows or widowers most re-
marry?" said the reporter.
Widows. Widows decidedly" the
minister answered.
And how do you account for that
fact?"
Il account for it on monetary
rather than on sentimental grounds.
Widows remarry oftener than widow
ers because they need help more than
wldowers. They are alone; they may
have child or twos and all the money
they can call their own Is a llfe-insur'
ance policy for twelve or fifteen hun
dred dollars.
80 they remarry. They remarry
speedily. With much wisdom acquired
from their first marital experience
they have no difficulty in persuadlng
some prosperous and steady young man
to set them ahoat upon a second mat
rlmonial voyage.
"Wdowers are most apt to remain
single If they have children. Eight
out of ten of the widowers whom
remarry are childless men."-Phila

Words Seldom Used.

A philologlst was talking about
words. "There are over 225,000 words
in the English language" he said, but
we only use few thousand of them.
The extra ones are no use to US. ANY
man could sit down with dictionary
and write in good English story that
no one in the world would understand.
Here, for instance; can you make head
or tail of thls?"
And the philologlst pattered off GLIB
ly:
II will againbuy the atabal. You
are asweyed. Yet this is no blushets
bobance nor am / a cudden, either,
Though the atabal Is dern, still will |
againbuy it,"
Then he translated

amazed? Yet this is no young girls
boastlng nor am l fool, either.
Though the drum is hidden, still will !

He who does not count his life
high and gracious gift Of God, which
may increase in power and capacity
forever, has missed life's greatest
meaning.
But If life is great in its privilege
it is also great in its requirements.
There is no such thing as possession
without responsibility, and the larg-
er the wealth the greater the obllga-
ton
What will you do with your life?
It is an endowment. 1t is a test. 1t
is a probation. God would put us to
the proof, He gives time and
strength enough for us to determine
our relation 10 the infinite future. All
lifes activities have to DO with that.
Nothing we do can be separated from
its relation to tomorrow. Our work,
our play, our social life, our intel
lectual life-all exert an influence on
and help to shape our destiny. That
is what probation means. 1t is OPP
portunity TO form character, to fix
life's direction.
Life, then, Is the great choosing
time. The play and counterplay Of
forces outside Of us may be interest
ing. The activities of the great
world may seem of Importance. But
the greatest thing about any indi-
yldual career is not what it has done,
or seen, or suffered, or enjoyed, but
what it has chosen. Eternal destn-
les are settled here. We decide on
this side Of the grave, and life on the
other side will follow the bent we
have chosen here.
Man is the crowning point Of crea-
ton. He is made In Gods image, and
Gods ideal for him is communion
with his Master. We sometimes hear
it said that man is naturally oppos-
ed to God. It Is not true. Opposl-
tion to God Is unnatural, although it
Is terribly prevalent Our natural re-
lation Is one Of communion. Angus
tine was right-"Thou hast made us
for thyself, and we find no rest until
we find 1t in thee"
Sin has turned us away from God.
And yet there are great yearnings
within us that reach out to him. The
unrest Of the sinner Is the homesick-
ness of the prodigal In the far coun-
try. 1t is part OF the Fathers effort
to bring his child back.

The Knot RsmIndeh Him.

He admitted that himself. Still, even
he was occasionally surprised by his
own failllngs. One morning he reached
his Office unaccountably late. Dear

The answer was not forthcoming
Hiram sat down at his desk and took
out his pocket handkerchief. 1t was
tied tightly In a knot.
"Now." he exclaimed, "what was
that for? oh, yes. Marthy told me
to get my shoes soled." With an air Of
resignation to the whims OF woman
hood. he put on his hat, closed his desk,
and went out to the "soled while you
wait" cobbler's. He went In and sat
down, took of his shoes and settled
back In a chair to read his newspaper.
What Is II. Mr.. Bobbs?" inquired
the cobbler.
"Whatf On, r-er-er-why--oh yes;

PECULIAR MEANS OF DEFENSE
Small psesers Of Light Sent Out by
 the Centipede.

Among the peculiar powers of ani- mals there are none harder to explain than the power of being self=luminous. Ii is sometimes termed phosphores- eence. but 1t is not now supposed to depend upon phosphorus in the ami nal. A correspondent of Nature de scribes her experience with lumi- nous centipede which shows the eyi- dent purpose Of the luminous sub stance as a means of defense. Atten- ton was first attracted by light Of brilliant blnish green that moved for ward over the gravel, leaving behind trail of light, which. gradually sep arating. became a scattered mass Of brilliant points The scattered ponts proved to be red ants which were pur
 suing the centipede. IL had discharged this luminous liquid over them. The centipede was picked up and put in a tumbler where it flashed out mass of light When the hand was placed over the tumbler to prevent the escape of the captive, strange prickly sensation was felt as from a slight charge of electricity. The cen tipede would writhe the light out of it's body in blueg green flashes until 1t had exhausted it's luminosity and ceased to shine. Defense seems certainly to be one of the uses of this secretion.

FINEST TROUT IN THE WORLD
Found in Small Stream in the Hl3..
 Sierras, Says Expert.

The finest trout in the world. says Dr. Barton w. Evermann of the bu- reau of fisheries. is to be found n little stream of the high Sierrai in southern California called Voleano creek. The trout is named the "golden trout" and in beauty of eoloring gameness and delicacy of flavor Il has no equal.
 So far as Is known, 1t exists only in this stream, which Is abo It 20 miles in length President Roosevelt recently called attention of the bureau of fisheries to this unique specimen, with the result that Dr Everma an was sent to California to study its habits and environment and to see whether it might not be introduced where.
 He reports that the trout is in dan ger of extermination and that fishing in the stream must be prohibited by the state of California for three years if the trout Is to be saved. Dr. Ever mann has also recommended that the bureau of fisheries undertake the ar tificial propagation of the tr'Ant and cooperate with the state of California in transplating it to number of bar ren streams that can be easily reaehed.-National Geographic, Masa- zine

rHIEvlNG SQUIRREL DRIVEN OFF
Robins Successfully Defend Nest
 Against Marauder.

A pair of robins proved teo much for maranding squirrel in Il depend ence square yesterday. Whi on a inidair cruise he suddenly stopped as though something special had attract ed his attention. and then be came down the tree in slow, unco lcerned manner. The secret was out when he shyly began the ascent of another oak, in the branches of which a pair of the redbreasts had built thei nest
 His little eyes glistening and his whole manner that of a tn ef, he moved up the tree trunk, and had al most reached the little blue eggs in the nest when the mother bi,d and her mate saw him and flew dow from their upper perch. They were on MT Squirrel in an instant, and tie fur flew when their peaks got into iction The retreat of the squirrel was quick ly effected. The watchers were amused Then a second time tn, rob Der advanced. and was so sucee essful as to get one of the eggs in his paws before the birds came to the resc Ie.
 The squirrel was nonplussed. as he couldn't back down with the egg with the birds pecking him. and he was loath to relinquish his hard-wen prize. His hesitation was fatal. though, as the birds, with concerted rush. fair ly showed him out of the nest and he robins followed him so quickly and furiously that the egg was dropped and smashed on the ground.

It Is Dedicated by the w. L. Douglas
 Go. at Broekton.

The dedication short time ago of the new administration and jobbing house building erected by the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co. as part of it's man. moth manufacturing plant at Montello was marked by the tho&oughness and attention to detail characteristic of the firm in all it's undertakings.
 The dedicatory program included open house from II a. m. to D. m with concert by the Mace Gay orches- tra and the presence of a Boston caterer to attend to the wishes of all The building itself afforded a feast for the eye, especially the offices, which are marvels in many ways Fifteen thousand invitations were sent out. including over Il 900 to the re- tail dealers in the United States who handle the W. L. Douglas Co. shoes, the others going to shoe manufactur CTS and all allied industries in Brock ton and vicinity. Mir Douglas will be glad to have anybody who is interest ed call and inspect the new plant, and says "the latch string is always out" All departments of the plant were open for inspection, the three factories as well as the new building, and yis- itors were received and escorted through the industrial maze by ex- Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads of the various departments.
 Under the present system all shoes are manufactured to order. and GUS toners sometimes lose sales waiting for shoes to arrive. With the new jobbing house they will be enabled to have their hurry orders shipped the same day they are received.
 The new building is 260 feet long and 60 feet wide and two stories in height, The jobbing department will occupy the entire lower floor. while the offices will occupy the second floor. The jobhng department will carry a complete stock of mems, boys, youths misses and children's shoes, slippers. rubbers and findings equal to any job ping house in the country. Buyers are especially invited to come here to trade, and every effort possible will be made to suit their convenience. There will be finely appointed sample room on the second floor, with an office in which both telephone and telegraph will be installed with operators. both Western Union and Postal Telegraph wires to be used.
