WOULD FORCE MAN TO DRINK

When Dave Liddell heroically refused
to drink with Al Penn last night. with
whom he was on bad terms, Liddell
says Penn became infuriated and at
tempted to lead him to the bar of
saloon near Main and Winston and
force him to imbibe whether he would
or no. 1t was mo" with Liddell, so he
claims, and the two men became en-
gagged in a fstic and verbal combat to
determine which should be the victor.
The contest was interfered with by Po-
liceman Mozart, however who took
them to the central station and BOOB 4
them on a charge of disturbing the
peace.
The policeman listened to Liddelrs
version of the trouble with incredulity
for he is said to have never been known
to refuse drink of booze before no
matter from whom it was rendered.

His Great Ambition.

Mrs. M. G. Black, of Gardiner, Ore,
who has received one of the last
awards Of the Carnegie hero fund for
her bravery in saving three young
girls from drowning, was talking
about bravery the other day.
DO / think that bravery, heroism,
can be cultivated. Yes,' she said. I'm
a sense I do. Heroism is unselfishness
carried to its highest point, and chill.
dren can certainly be trained to be
anselfish.
There is only N way to teach
them that, though and that is the way
Of kindness. Beat and bully children,
and they won't grow up unselfsh, but
the opposite"
She smiled. .,
Il knew a little boy" she said. "Once
at an Easter party, I had a long con-
versation with him.

a pink egg, what are you going to
do when you grow up?"
Looking up from the egg with a

John w. Gates, who has Just re-
tired from the Wall Street game, has
some ideas about the ethical side Of
stock market operations that are in
keeping with his record. Life is a
gamble" he said. Everything is a
gamble. When the farmer plants his
corn he is gambling. He is practical
iy betting that the weather conditions
will enable him to raise a good crop.
Sometimes he loses. Sometimes he
wins. Every man who goes into
business embarks upon speculation.
OF course. the element Of judgment
enters in, but the element Of chance
cannot be ruled out. Whenever a
man starts out on a railway journey
it's a gamble whether he ever reaches
his destination. All life is a gamble,
you see..

In two districts in Southern Baden
out of 604 young men liable to mill
tary service only twenty were found
to be up to the physical standard of
the German military authorities. II
seems that the peasantry of those dis
tricts we're at one time among the
most robust in the empire, but owing
to the dearness of meat and the fact
that milk, which once was a staple
article of food, Is carefully coll
lected for the cheese factories, their
physique has sunk to a dangerously
low level.

visit to America. paid a high tribute
to the Supreme Court Of the United
States. He said 1t had vaIiantly and

type OF humanity which might reas-
sure the world as to the future of civ
llization. They admirably or
ganized. The liberty OF all citi-
Gems was safeguarded by the Supreme
Court, which was watching the peo-
pies interests all the time, even max
ing void laws which appeared to en-
danger the liberty of citizens. The
Court, he declared, offered a specta-
Gle surprising in the grandeur Of its
simplicity. It was composed Of men
who had abandoned fortune and
other honors TO guard the liberty Of
all.

An intelligent Iowa correspondent

An intelligent Iowa correspondent
Of The Country Gentleman draws a
picture of the evils of one-year farm
tenancy in his State, which is calcu-
lated to attract notice. Every March,
according to this writer, sees a large
part of the farm tenant population of
Iowa on the way to new holdings. and
the consequence is a steady decline
In the fertility of the farms, which
are worked for all they are worth,
besides a loss in permanency In popu-
lation in rural neighborhoods, which
has a blighting effect upon schools,
churches and social organizations.

The old notion OF a dairy belt is
passing away, announces the Ameri-
can Cultivator. With modern appli-
ances butter can be made from Maine
to Florida, and west to the Pacific.
And the general dairy outlook is be-
coming better every year. Probably
the days of very cheap butter never
will return.
