A Want Ad and a Moral

As a young man. seeking an opening iu a business house. do not attempt to die tate terms and the manner of your occu- patton. The man who is ''on the job" no matter how humble his status. gets the coveted chance. Here's an example of this spirit. m a Want ad that appeared In a newspaper day after day without get ting single reply:
 Wanted. Situation by practical print CT. who can take charge of any de- pertinent. Would accept a professor ship in any of the colleges. Have no objection to the teaching of ornamen- tai painting and penmsnship. geometry and many other sciences. Have had some experience as lay preacher. To dentist or chiropodist would be in- valuable; or would cheerfully accept a position as a base or tenor in a church choir.
 At length there appeared an addition to this ad:

The Art of Being Agreeable.
BY BEATRICE CAREY.

Everyone wishes to be lllsed-to be pop ular. but few people are born with a power of fascination that is irresistible:- therefore the average person must study closely and work hard to be agreeable. After all to be agreeable Is an art and depends largely on inesse and delicacy fin handling people. not too much or too little. but fattery always.
 It Is dull to tell disagreeable trutf- They are so apparent it takes no clev- erness to discover them It Is the nice things that have to be dug for and when found should not be greediiy kept to oneself. Flattery does not have to be offensive
 rather be fattered and perhaps even made sport of. than to 90 through life on the watch for insincerity. and afraid to be stroked the right way. That fear of ridicule has spoiled many an other wise attractive personality-it is small natured and depressing. Simplicity is the great thing. Another great habit is . belief fin the kindness of people-there is much more of 1t afoot than Is often recognized.
 Sympathy is another magnet of popu- larity. and this is easily learned Inject quaint bits of conversation at odd mo- ments and at once you are called clever. When cornered make others talk. and they will probably fail to note your actual ignorance. In other words. start the bonfires and watch the flames and at the proper moments pour on oil or water according to the amusement you srs de

REFURNIsHING FOR WINTER.

In the better class of houses. hardwood floors are the rule, and small rugs take the place of the old time carpetings. Fine muslin curtains are hung in the win dows of the bedrooms and flat lace or madras curtains in the family rooms The other draperies. both upstairs and down. are cotton or jute prints or such simple and inexpensive weaves. The uphoister- ings are likewise of the simplest type. and the majority of the furniture Is gen erally In willow. wicker or white enamel This is all very tasteful and charming for warm, summery weather, but when the chill days of late fall arrive. these light furnishings begin to lose their cheer fulness, and are apt to look little bare.
 2efurnishing for the cold weather can be very easily done. without a great ex- penditure. by using as far-as possible the framework already there. Just as cotton and linen slip covers will make heavy upholstered furniture look cool and com fortable during the hot weather, So will tapestry and velour slip covers In warm colors hide the coolness of wicker i"rn'- ture The sketch shows a treatment or this sort for a wicker settee the cover being made of printed velour. which Is so made that the wicker framework IS entirely concealed.

Mrs. Addison Injured.

What might easily have result
ed in a fatal accident occurred
near the Albers farm south of
town late yesterday afternoon
when Mrs. P. D. Addison was
severely injured in runaway.
The lady had been down to their
place in Grave creek after some
fruit and vegetables. The team
she was driving proved to be
quite spirited and on the return
trip when near the railroad
crossing south of the Albers
place they got the advantage of
her and run away. Fearing she
could not make the short turn
across the bridge at the Albers
residence at the rate they were
going Mrs. Addison turned the
team into the fence in hopes of
stopping them. The shock tore
one wheel off the hack and turn
ed the rig over, throwing Mr..
Addison out onto the hard road,
while the team broke loose and
run on up the road. Frank
Simon and the Albers folks, who
happened to be near, soon picked
the unconscious lady up and
carried her to the nearby house
and DR.. Turner was at once
summoned from town to attend
her. He found her suffering
from some severe cuts and bruis-
es on the face and head and with
a badly sprained back but in
formed us after seeing her again
this morning that she was rest
ing easy and he did not think
her injuries would prove any
ways serious.
The lady's escape was for
tunate one and she might easily
have been killed instead of in
iured as she is.
