Knowing that "few are chosen" in
the glass blowers ranks, he is willing
to do SO. Also he knows that If he
has the patience to be steady and learn
his trade, he will be able to command
IS or $40 day. He understands that
the average doctor or lawyer doesn't
attain that, and the minister and
schoolmaster never dream a thing so
vain. And SO the glass blowers ap-
prentice sticks to his trade.
Patiently all day he takes the blow
pipe from his masters hand, carefully
separates the blown tumbler from the
end of the pipe and carries the hot
glass on an asbestos-covered shovel to
a moderately warm oven, where 1t
gradually cools.
On other days he stands at the other
end Of the twenty-foot long cooling
oven and takes out the tempered glass
es, puts them in a machine and cut
the tops off.

lady who was recently appointed
visitor to a hospital for children,
fearing that poor children failed to re-
ceive the same attention bestowed on
those of richer parents, paid her first
visit to the institution, intending to
effect change. In a ward she found
tiny boy quite alone. He informed
her that there was another boy in the
ward, but that he was being examined
before clinic. The lady looked
around her for evidence Of neglect
on the part of the attendants. A suit
of clothes lay huddled on a chair. Fold
ing them ia an orderly manner. she
said:
Surely, my dear, these trousers are
too long for you by several inches"
Yes, ma'am," replied the boy.
"A sin and shame" cried she. and

sat down and cut off the legs Of the

"FIGHTING BOB" EVANS.
Report that He Must Soon Raise the
White Flag in Lies Battle.

Report that He Must Soon Raise the
White Flag In Lies Battle.
The report that Admiral Bob Evans
Is about to retire from the navy pc
cause Of i'll health has sent a throb OF
sympathy and regret through the coun-
try. Scores of kilograms and even ca
Diagrams have been received at the
navy department asking as to the truth
of the report, and expressing high re-
gard for Fighting Bob
Robley Dunlingson was the name
given him at his birth, Aug. Is, 1916,
over 60 years ago. But he Is Fighting
Bob" to the American people.
He is a born fighter. At 6 he was
handling a gun. At ID he was on his
way across the western plains to ac-
Quire a residence at Salt Lake City.
He had been promised an appointment
to Annapolis if he became a resident
of the Utah city.
On the way the emigrant train was
attacked by Indians. Bob was
warned to stay under cover when the
fight began. When the Indians had
been beaten back an arrow pinning
Bob's right leg to the mule he rode
showed how be had obeyed the order.
He had been in the thickest of the me-
lee. The arrow had to be cut between
his leg and the pony's side before he
could dismount
When the Civil War broke out young
Evans, then at Annapolis, had a heart
racking problem to decide. His mother
was an ardent secessionist His broth
er did not hesitate but donned the
gray. But Bob decided to cast his lot
with the ones who had educated him,
although his mother sent his resigna-
ton to the Federal government.
His fighting spirit was wildly illus
trated In the assault on Ft. Fisher,
January, 1855. Twice he was wound
ed and fought on. A third bullet
pierced his knee and he fell helpless.
A sharpshooter kept pegging away at
him. A bullet tore off OF his toes.
The Ire of the wounded man was
aroused, and grabbing his own rifle, he
shot his enemy dead.
It was we'll for Evans after that
battle that he had strenuous spirit.
When he was taken to the hospital it
was decided that both his legs must
be amputated. Bob heard the decision
and that night armed himself with a
revolver, which he hid under his pill
low
Next day when physicians broke
their views to him the wounded youth
pulled the gun. You will never take
off my legs while l have a bullet left,
was his ultimatum. They didn't think
then that 1t was absolutely necessary.
In 1891 Evans gained his title of
Fighting Bob He was in command
of the little Yorktown at Valparaiso,
Chile. 1t needed but the drop of hat,
it seemed, to start war between that

How every true man and woman
loves the name Of home! How they
pity those who, from force Of circum-
stances, must board, even temporarily.
Every newly married couple should set
up an establishment for themselves,
no matter how small it must be. Here
they must become acquainted with each
other; here they may spat and kiss,
without comment or advice from out
siders, for, safe to say, there will be
more disagreements and misunder-
standings, more tears and heartaches
the first year than any one year after
SO, by all means, live alone the first
year. No matter how long, nor how
well. the couple may have known each
other before marriage, it is a strange
new path that they must travel now
they must adjust themselves to each
others peculiarities; figure out for
themselves the ever perplexing ques-
ton of dollars and cents, and, maybe,
teach a turkey appetite to render a
thankful amen" after a bacon sufti-
cheney To each one will sometimes
come this question: Did 1 make mis-
take In marrying|' Let us hope that
love and faith make answer: "All Is
WE'LL" and that these little differences,
with their necessary explanations, will
pave the way to complete understand
ing and perfect trust, and that the Sec
ond year, loving glance, gentle hand
clasp, or a smile, will take the place Of
the fearful explanations of the past.
Do not cheat yourself out Of the pleas
ure and luxury of owning your own
home-the fact that it Is cheaper
counts little beside the increased happi-
ness it brings to the owners. Each
new leaf, each blossom, is natures law
ish thanks for care received. The
me-making OF loving couple is the
happiest time in life, and the couple
who would forego the pleasures Of
home for the so-called advantages of a
boarding house, is very short sighted.
No boarding house can be home. 1t is
we'll for children that most boarding
houses refuse to receive them, thus
forcing the parents into making a home
for them. In your own home, you are
great man, in a boarding house a
married man is nonentity and the
self, make a home.

The rich have been getting so much
richer for the last ten years and so
many of the poor have got rich, too,
that it has got on the nerves of the
community. Good friends all, let us not
worry unreasOnably about that, but try
while the sky is clear to save up a little
droSs for ourselves. Business never
stands still long. When it is not get
ting better it is getting ready to be
worse. Those of us who live long
enough will survive this period of dis
uessful affiuence and are likely to see
concern about the accumulations of 9TH
ers give way to anxieties about employ
ment and subsistence.

Rich American girls have at last dis
covered that their money Is sometimes
an obstacle to happy marriage with
sensible and promising young men. II
is whispered that some of the wise ones
have formed a club to learn and prac-
tice the charms Of poverty. The young
man looking for diversion may be salts
fed to find it with the girl who can
dance we'll and talk "sportily" of foot
ball and dogs But when he Is looking
for wife he must be lured by other
qualities So the club for reducing the
handicap of riches gives its members
course of lessons in the accomplish
ments Of being useful. For example, II
teaches them to darn stockings. Not
only must the holes be neatly filled, bnt
the girl must be able to do the task
while the young man is calling, and to
look fascinatingly domestic in the act
The heiress who is willing to take hex
chances Of a happy life with a foreign
count may not trouble herself about
housekeeping but the best American
man likes to be assured that his wife
can take the place Of the cook or the
waitress or the laundress should emer
gency arise, and that she will be both
effective and delightful while she does
50. The girl burdened with wealth en-
pIoys poor girl to teach her, not only
DISTINGUISHING and bread-making-
amiabtlity. The rich GIRL says the
social philosopher, ''is often very I'M
certain in her temper. The poor girl
must keep sweet-tempered or lose her
! 1ob' So the noble art Of keeping still
under provocation Is practised, and the
passion for having the last word is re-
pressed. The truth Is that all the
charms and graces are none too many
for 1.-The coming girl If she is poor,
she may acquire the dainty habits and
the refined taste of the rich girl. II
she is rich, she may emulate the ener-
gy, the optimism and the sweet temper
| of the poor girl Until presently, the
| youth in search of a wife may safely
| choose her where he will, sure that she
will adOrn mad enrich any station to
which it may please God to call her.
