Discretion in the Engine Room.

The eminent shipbuilder was ex-
planning the plans and specifications
for the new vessel.
"In addition to being the largest
and most formidable battleship
afloat." he said, land the superior OF
all others, both from an offensive and
defensive point Of view, having the
most powerful armament and being
practically invulnerable, it will be the
fastest, beyond all comparison. 1t
will be able to steam twenly-eight
miles an hour"
But if it is to be so much better
than any other" asked one of the
members of the committee, what is
the use of devoting so much atten-
ton to mere speed?"
"Why-er-it might be necessary
some day. You can't tell when one
of the other great Powers may build
a bigger and heavier battleship.' :

ANIMALS FOR BOYS.

fhe man who would have his son

try life can give that son no better
training than to give him an amman
OF two for his very own.
The boy will unconscioasly learn
H4ore from his contact with his pet
animals than he would ever learn
otherwise. A boy whom lambs and
colts and calves follow will develop
into a man who will not only be
able to care for animals in compre'
hensive manner, but his character
gaAl be stronger and sweeter.
The father who beats his animals
and yells around the barnyard can
bnly expect his son to do likewise.
But a son to such father will find

mails. He will seek pleasure in the

If the twins had been within sound
Of the telephone bell probably they
would have guessed the truth. The
telephone was a new and unalloyed
wonder, and the twins signified their
appreciation Of It by responding to its
every summons and following min
utely the audible half of its mystic
conversation.
However, at the crucial moment
Jack was engaged at a distance in
1mpersonating an automobile at full

stately flights, had accepted the role
Of banana vendor, shortly to be

rant of the thoroughfares. A real
banana vendor had met with a ca
tastrophe Of this sort in their sight
the day before. Two moments after
the conversation by telephone, which
they did not hear, had ceased, they
were summoned to the house.
"Why must we dress up?" demand
ed Jack, when he began to realize
what was to happen. He felt keenly
the encroachment upon the informal
ity of his Saturday afternoon attire.
Mother doesn't like to have her
babies look so ragged" replied the
parent, strategfcally.
"Why don't you want us to be
ragged?" insisted Jack. you didn't
care last Saturday. Father said he

tinued, piling up evidence.

sounded masterful. 1t was really
humiliating capitulation.
"Will you hate to see us look this
way next Saturday, too" asked Jack.
Every Saturday." repeated the
parent firmly.
Jack wore the expression OF PHI
losopher who resigns himself to the
inevitable. Phyllis, however, had no
regrets. She possessed the feminine
adaptability to fuss and feathers.

Mrs. Van Allen was one OF those

always spick and span and less vigor.
Gus mothers than theirs succeeded
in emulating this condition, so far
as their offspring were concerned
only when it was known beforehand
that Mrs. Van Allen was coming.
Mrs. Van Allen arrived. The twins
were introduced. Conversation fol-
lowed. Unluckily, at that moment
the strategic parent was called to the
telephone. Unluckily, also, the
twins found that instrument less at.
tractive than the visitor.
"That is a very handsome gown
you have on" began Mrs. Van Allen,
by way of making herself agreeable.
Phyllis demonstrated the golden
quality of silence.

Jack. These are my best shoes.

ly covered with confusion when she
noted that the visitor was listening
to her attentively.
It was at this point that the strate-

room.
"Well, babies" said she. with the
benign smile of ignorance. "how are
you entertaining Mrs. Van Allen?"
Because" finished Jack, sticking
to the former subject of conversation

himself of all conversational respon-
sibility he beamed cheerfully upon
his mother.-Chicago News.

Inside or in sight of the abbey gate,
He came at last to die,
And, meek enough now, in chapel must lie
In pomp he used to hate.
In heaven they gave him guide,
Who, shining there at his side,
Said, Now to the great ones first shall we

Here are fathers Syrian, Spanish, Greek,

on which are written directions for
each one present to contribute 70

each girl was asked to give some

THE FIGURE 9.

tfathematicians have juggled with
the mystic figures 3, and 9 for
ages, and now comes foreign "pro-
fessor" of the occult science to tell
fortune by "the force in simple
numeral"-the 9. He reminds his
victims that if they multiply any
number, short of a decimal, by 9 the
two figures of the product added to-
gether will make 9. Thus; Nine
times 2 and IS, and and 1 are g.;
nine times are q. and and 2 are
8: nine times 4 are sc. and anG!
are 8; 8 times 5 and 45, and and
4 are 8; 9 times 6 are "a, and and
5 are 8; 9 times Z are 63, and 3 and
are 8; 9 times 9 are Y, and 2 and
z are 8; 9 times 9 are 81, and l and
s arc .. He might have added that
any number in the hundreds or thous-
ands multiplied by will give prod
uct the sum of whose digits is a
multiple of g. Take at random-9
times 545 are 4,905, the sum of which
Is IS, and 9 into IS goes 2 timts.
