II you feel disposition to be foremost in

Remember that n man is often judged BY

very SLOW

you choose to go.
The mighty volumes that you read; the
midnight oil you burn

And ON the other hand you may be known
and even feared.
III you wear u coat old-fashloned and a
hat that's rather weird.
Inc speeches that you make in dim OBJ
scurlty may rest
but the world Will think about you If you
wear funny vest.
You mustn't be disheartened II vou fnd

Russians In Our Army.

A curious racial tendency has been
shown lately in the new enlistment
in the ranks of the United States
army, at any rate so far as the work
of the recruiting stations in this city
Is concerned. An unusually large
number OF Russians have been enlist
ing for the service, the percentage
sometimes running up to we'll above
so per cent of the total enlistments.
At one OF the local recruiting sta
tions in this city the officer in charge
reported that out Of 13 enlistments
made in a single day last week, no
less than six were Russians. On
other days even this high percentage
has been exceeded.
"a large number Of the Russians
who are now enlisting In the United
States army" said one of the re-
cruiting officers lately, "have already
seen service in the Russian army. I
think 1t would be safe to say that
rs per cent of them have seen such
service, and of those who have
served in the Russian army nearly all
were engaged in the recent conflict
with Japan. New York Sun.

When Kansan Stops His Paper.

About two months ago one of ou1
farmer friends dropped in and stopped
his Farmer. He said he couldn't af.
ford to take the paper and just had
to do without it, He dropped in
again last Saturday and planked
down $3.50 for a year in advance
and then heaved big sigh of relief.
Everything had gone wrong since the
Farmer ceased to visit him. His
chickens refused to lay, his cows got
on the alfalfa and died, and his hogs
got the cholera. The rats gnawed
holes in his granary and his wheat
ran out and the birds ate 1t up. His
windmill blew over and killed horse
and his best shepherd dog got bone
in his throat and choked to death.
His children got the measles and his
wife mashed her thumb in the wiring
er and couldn't do any housework.
Thieves broke into his smokehouse
and stole his winters supply of meats
and fire destroyed several stacks of
his alfalfa. He bought groceries of a
travelling faker and never got them,
while his neighbor escaped because
he read in the Farmer to watch out
for crooks. His days were filled with
misfortune and his nights with bad
dreams. He stood it two months and
then gave up the unequal struggle

HOW CAMPHoR is MADE.
Simple Method by Which the Oil Is
Extracted From tho Wood.

"To make camphor," said q re-
turned traveller, you put in chips
at one hole and out of another hole
you draw the crude product in coarse
white grains, like salt.
wherever camphor trees grow
you will find camphor dlstillerles.
They are low buildings of mud brick
and their odor is so aromatic that
1t can be detected two miles off.
"In each building there are a
dozen fires. On each fire is a kettle
of boiling water, with perforated
lid. Fitted to the top Of this kettle
Is an iron cylinder, filled with cam
phor chips of the size of your little
finger. Fitted to the top Of the cylin-
der Is an empty inverted jar.
There is your whole apparatus
a simple thing, which works simply.
The steam of the boiling water pass
ing up through the cylinder extracts
from the camphor wood its OIL This
oil, mounting still upward with the
steam, settles like brine on the sides
of the inverted jar at the top. This
brine, when the fire goes out, dries
Into substance like frost or snow.
white and aromatic, the frostlike
substance is the crude camphor. 1t

and refined and pressed into those
attractive balls and cubes that you

Their Life Is No Joke.

Normandy and Brittany together
are the land of legends and romance,
but there is a noticeable difference in
the people. The Breton is stalwart in
stature and stern and serious In dis
position. He has hewed his life out
amid the serious things and along the
rocky roads. His bronzed face looks
eustere, but beneath his blue blouse
beats heart warm and true. The
primitive simplicity Of his life and
the intentness of his religion gives
the Breton short view of the frlvoli-
ties of existence. He carries his re-
ligion into his daily life and work
and along all the roads are gaudy cru
tiflSes which the peasants never pass
Without kneeling and crossing them
selves.
1t is characteristic Of all these Brit
tany folk that they mind their own
business. | don't know what the re-
suit would be II you were to try a
joke on them. / should be afraid to
undertake 1t. Life is a serious prob.
lem to the Breton. 1t is homespun
for him, even though the rest Of
France may be arrayed in silks. He
has worked out an existence against
great odds, and it has given him a
character and physique which makes
him notable among his fellow coun.
trymen.-From "An Intimate Excur

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to Trem.

The surgeons duties require clear

"A few days after, ] met him, and
he was full Of praise for Postum, de-

Nine miners were killed and three

explosion of gas and coal dust at noon
today in the Bernal mine at Carthage,
Soccoro COUNTY, New Mexico, one OF
three large coal mines owned by the
Carthage Fuel company
Nine dead ibodies have been taken
out. and although the mine Is stu
filled with gas, it Is believed that no
more victims remain in the workings
All of the men had apparently peen
killed instantly and some of the pooles
were mangled beyond recognition
Superintendent c. F. Weber with a
marty of rescuers numbering several
dozen have been busy working all the
afternoon in suite of the gases. w D
men and children are with Difficulty
kent from the mouth of the mine, and
the scenes when the bodies of the dead
were brought up were most narrowing
g Carthage is a small town on branch
line twenty miles from San Antonio n.
NJ, on the Santa Fe railroad, and com
munication is difficult. Save the fact
that the explosion occurred during the
noon hour the death list would have
been larger. The explosion shook the
country for miles around. and several
of the bodies were thrown clear out OF
the main entrance to the mine Two
men were blown 500 yards away.
A force of but fifty men is employed
in the mine, and all but those who were
killed or injured had gone to dinner.

1t was at the closing session of the

hearers with a number of other strong
remarks as to the conditions of present
day Jews. He was talking upon the
general topic of ethical Tendencies in
the Churches" but he spent much of his
time in pointing out the lack of ethical
tendencies in present-day civilization.
in Chicago tonight there are Jews
who tremble to go out on the streets be-
cause they may be stoned by children
who believe they do not look like citi-
zen of Chicago should look said DR..
Hirsch.
''Why, a Jew is barred from college
fraternities. For this. however, he should
sing a song of thanks.
80 it is plain that to be a Jew in the
United States. with all its boosted de-
mocracy and civilization. is not such a
comfortable thing In Europe the condi-
ton of the Jew is worse, and in Russia
it is unbearable.

schools should be abolished. Nothing is
