Some years ago there appeared
in several Paris papers an adver-
tiSement of an ob5cGre fruit dealer,
in which he offered to give a prize
Of 5 francs for the largest apple
sent to him. Then fish caught at
the bait with marvellous rapidity.
and in less than fortnight the ad-
vertiser had received enough fruit
to stock his store for the season.
Naturally he was glad to pay 5
francs for the largest of the lot,
and Just as naturally he kept all the
unsuccessful specimens for sale
from his shop. Besides, the adver-
Using resulted in a large increase in
his business.

When Vessel Needs a BIZ of Washing
and Fixing.

1ho FIXING.
With:n the basin steamer is
docking. The hydraulic gates are
shut; the pumping engines clang; an
exhaust pipe on the engine house
pufs out clouds of steam. Men rush
about, waving signals. lowering props
against the ship. There come sharp
orders from the master of the dock.
who stands with folded arms at the
edge of the basin. The crew are
still on board. They line the rails,
chattering and gesticuIating; thrust
curious heads through rows Of ports.
The water sinks rapidly. The
steamer settles on the blocks, and
soon her battered bottom comes to
view. She is an old boat, SCARED
by seas. The great plates beneath
her water line are scanned with rust:
the paint has vanished: the iron is
eaten into burrows by years of seeth-
ing water: barnacles sprout about
her keels. clustering thickly on one
another, here and there heapinS into
chains of hills, spurs of which run
off IN all directions and disappear
into the shadows beneath her hull:
growths of seaweed cling upon her
sides. oozing moisture, combed into
dark green traccries. At length the
dock is empty. It's wooden, steplike
walls are dripping and covered with
slippery moss. Little rivulets trickle
down and run OFT beneath the ship
into broad, dark. Shiny pools. Wa
ter splashes through leaks in the
gates; the air smells dank and
marshy and reeks of river mud.
Men scramble down into the basin
and attack the steamer. Clad in
oilskins. they duck in and out be-
meath the hull, cleaning, scraping,
painting. hosing down the sides. Be
meath the stern they gather in
knot about the screw. One blade is
missing; the others are twisted and
blunted and caked with rust. The
blows of a sledge hammer ring out
loudly; the men shout at one an
other as they strive to loosen the
propeller from the shaft. One of
the owners of the boat-a tall man
in a long raincoat that flaps about
his ankles-watches them anxiously.
His patent leather shoes are fecked
with mud.
The foreman hurries about, CIV
ing directions. "0h, this ships all
right" he says in answer to your
question. "She only wants a bit of
washing and a screw. She fouled

There is a kind of fondness that
ruins children as surely as there is a
fondness that blesses them. There
is sometimes more real sweetness in
a gentle, repressive rebuke than in
the warmest praise-oftentimes more
love in a rod than in a reward. We
help our children most when we help
them to take an honest view of them
selves and this we can never do by
Hattering their too easily fattered
self-conceit.

perhaps she orders them to go to the
father. The child will soon get
afraid to ask advice for fear of being
rebuked, and it will be apt to seek
advice somewhere else. If you take
an interest in your children they will
take an interest in you. We've
seen little children, while running
at play, or perhaps on an errand for
their parents, get a fall and bump
head or skin finger, and when they
would go to their parents for kind
word of comfort they would say,
well next time look where you are
going and don't be so awkward; go
long and hush The child will GER
tainly find out sooner or later that
its parents have no love or sympathy
for it and will grow up without any
kind feeling toward the parents.
But on the other hand let the child
come to the parent for advice and if
kind words are spoken the child will
never forget it, and will always look
with respect on that parent. If the
little child gets bump or fall or
cut finger, the mother will say,
come to me, let me pet you" She
will kiss the bumped head or wrap
up the hurt finger with few kind
words. Then the child knows you
love it and it will love you, and will
always respect you, and when years
have passed and gone and they have
grown to manhood and womanhood
they will look back to their child
hood days as the happiest days of
their lives.
A word of comfort kindly spoken,
VIII many moment cheer;
A word of scorn to a heart that's
broken,
Will cause grief for many year.
While Robert G. Ingersoll is not
often quoted in home circle depart
ment he said some of the most beau
tiful things ever spoken and said
them the best. He was on one occa-
sion asked to give two views in sym
postum of woman and in reply said:
1T takes one hundred men to make
an encampment, but one woman can
make home. | admire woman as
the most beautiful object ever Great
ed, but reverence her as the redeemed
glory of human, the sanctuary of all
virtue, the pledge of all perfect quail
tiles of heart and head. 1t is because
women are so much better than men
that their faults are considered
greater. The one thing in this
world that is constant, the one peak
that rises above all the clouds, the
one window in which the light burns
forever, the one star that darkness
cannot quench, is woman's love. 1t
rises to the greatest heights, it sinks
to the lowest depths, it forgiyes the
most cruel injuries. A woman 5
love is the perfume of the heart.
This is the real love that subdues the
earth, the love that has wrought all
miracles of art; that gives US music
all the way from the cradle song to
the grand closing symphony that
bears the soul away on wings of fire.
A love that is greater than power,
, sweeter than life and stronger than
death .

REMOVAL OF APPENDIX M
CRIME SAYS PHYSICIAN

Boston, Mass, Oct. 6.-"An operation
for appendicitis should be called a
criminal operation, and, as such,
should be prohibited by law" declares
DIR. Charles E. Page, one Of the best
known Boston physicians.
'T have been following the records
of appendicitis operations ever since
the craze for this form Of surgery
started" says DR.. Page, =" and / con-
fidently believe that the day is COM
ing when the people will realize that
the cutting of the appendix is GRIM
inal operation.
Gas for the widely proclaimed bene-
fits and saving of life by operations
to cut the appendix, it seems hardly
necessary to cite the long list OF
deaths following the operation. Only
recently we have had the striking in
stances of Clyde Fitch, the playwright,
and Governor Johnson of Minnesota.
The surgeons cut off Governor John
sons appendix year or so ago; they
operated on him second time, and
on their third operation he fell VIC
tim of mistaken modern theories"

Galloway presented check for SIG
at the Optimo bar last night and re-
ceived the amount it called for with
out question. This morning when the
check was presented at the First Ma
tional bank for payment, it was turn
ed down as forgery.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice and Galloway was taken into
custody. 1t is said that he has re-
funded the money he secured on the
check to the Optimo bar and that he
is trying to fix the matter up out of
court and thus escape prosecution.
Dr. Lord left last Saturday for the
east, and this lends additional proof
to the charge that the check is for
gerry.

Washington, Oct. 6.-The national
guard of the country will no longer
be asked to face war time conditions

so severely in the recent Boston
campaign that the war depart
ment is convinced that the knowledge
gained was too expensive. The mil
itia returned from the Boston man
euvers discouraged and disheartened
and the maneuvers did not tend to
strengthen the numerical forces. 1t
has therefore been determined that
company, regimental and battalion
drill, together with little judicious
cross-country marching. will be good
enough for the national guard here
