The Great American Boss.

The average American is blase al.
most before the English girl Is ready
to leave her school, says writer. The
English girl never leaves her govern.
ess and home before she Is eighteen,
while at the same age the American
girl has seen much of the world. Yet
the American girl retains her vivacity
and her interest In everything, and it
is that one quality, think, above all
others, that wins for her the admira-
tion OF the English woman. The
American woman never looks to her
husband as master, while the English
woman is taught to do so from her
birth.-Tit-Bits.

"Habit" and "vice,"

The subject of women's smoking has
almost ceased to be discussed; 1t is
generally taken for granted that wo-
men will smoke, even when dining in
public, while smoking room is found,
as matter of course, at every wo-
mans club. But while society and pro-
fessional women now smoke without
protest, one learns, not without sur
prise, that the habit In which they in
dulge is rapidly becoming vice of the
working-class girl.-Ladies' Pictorial.

IS HUMAN WEAKNESS
THE DESIRE TO GET SOMETHING
FOR NOTHING.
AN IcNIs FATUUs TO AVOID
One Cause That Has Led to the Down.
fall Of Many-Fallacy That
Ever Tends Toward
Evil.

A man who won the confidence, re-
spect and admiration Of the people of
his state was elected to the United
States senate. Soon 1t is discovered
that he was owned by the railroads"
bought by favors and instead of repre-
senting the interests of the people
who sent him to his high place in
the nations councils, preferred to rep
resent the corporations that made 1t
possible for him to ride over rail-
roads without cost. 1t is only DEM
onstration of human inclination to get
something for nothing.
The member of state legislature
was accused of showing special atten-
ton to legislation favorable to the
railroads and corporations. He was
charged with riding on passes; and in
fact it became known that his prin-
cipal supporters. too, rode free over
the railroads. Another illustration Of
the human desire to secure something
for nothing.
The mayor Of city regularly occu-
pied a box at the leading theater;
the conductor. enjoyed free drinks at
the bars-another example of the man
who wanted something for nothing.
and at last his greed caused him to
enter into dishonest deals that landed
him in the penitentiary.
On certain days of the month at
numerous supply depots conducted
by county and city charities, long
rows of men and women can be seen
awaiting their turn to get small
supply Of flour. sugar and other neces-
saries of life. Some are helpless, de.
formed. and their looks indicate want
and misery, but there are others who
have no appearance of need. Here
again we find men and women leaving
pride and selfrespect behind because
of the desire to secure something for
nothing.
On special sales days in the retail
districts Of every large city great
crowds can be seen about the en-.
frances Of the great department
stores, crushing. fighting to get to
the bargain counters, all bent upon
getting something OF value for little
or nothing.
From the highest walks OF life to
the lowest the all-prevailing and dom.
inant trait in evidence to show the
weakness Of the individual is the
struggle to get something for moth.
ing. 1t is based upon a knowledge OF
this frallity OF humankind that some
great business enterprises are built.
Wonderful bargains are advertised.
and the masses rush to buy, without
calm reasoning In the matter of any
comparisons OF value Good business
judgment is cast In the background
by the madness to get something for
nothing.
The get.rich.quick operator uses the
same methods to lead to mis- trap vic.
Tins with dollars as do the railroads,
the big department stores and the
others who have certain objects to
gain. It Is always the promise held
out to give something for inadequate
compensation, without Its equal In ex.

lows the frauds to succeed. There is
magic in the something for nothing"
deal. 1t is a bait that catches people
in every rank and walk of life. 1t
often is the cause Of the downfall of
men who have all the abilities to sue
ceed. 1t is a fallacy that tends to-
ward evil. There can nothing be
gained without adequate compensa-
tion. The something for nothing is
an ignis fatuus that the wise will
avoid.

There is talk in England of the pro posed development of the natural re- sources of the Sudan through scien- tific exploration. Immense forests line the banks of the Blue Nile along it's upper reaches, extending to the Abyssinian frontier. The ebony tree is met with along that river and also near the Sobat. Along the White Nile the india rubber creeper, a valuable source of rubber, abounds. There are large forests in the Bahr-elGhazal province and gold has been mined in some of the mountains.

COW TURNED THE FAUCET. Saoacious Animal Saved Herself
 Lond Walk to the River.

The county poor farm has, accord ing to the assertion of the inmates, the cleverest COW ln the state, says the New York World correspondent at Portland, Ore The animal is an old red Jersey that has been on the farm for years. The matron at the farm last summer discovered that the fau- set on the hydrant in the back yard was frequently turned on, but con stant watching failed to disclose the miScreant.
 The same trouble occurred again this summer. The matron noticed the water was turned on about the same time ever afternoon. While she was watching she saw the old red Jersey come leisurely up the road, into the back yard and walk straight up to the hydrant The COW pushed the faucet with her nose, but it did not seem to work. So she tried her horns, and when that method failed, opened her mouth took hold of the faucet and turned it.
 Miss Bossy then drank her fill of cold water and turned away toward the green fields, evidently pleased that she did not have to go quarter of a mile to the river to satisfy her thirst.
 The next day the COW seemed much puzzled to find a new faucet and ap- peared dejected when, after half an hour of hard work, she could not get her drink. Then the matron had a watering place made and the cold water was allowed to run at all times.

Life of Hcrses and Docs,

The statement has been made that horses average from 20 to 50 years O. life, and dogs from 12 to II years. A French encyclopedia credits the horse with 30 to 10 years, the dog with 20 to 24.
