How They Train in England

afternoon we did our fast work. After
each practice We were given a good
rundown, and before turning in at
night we were rubbed down again.
We were worked like ace horses,
fed like horses, with the best of food
and plenty of it-this little hotel was
famous for its good beef and chops
and vegetables-and at night VIZ slept
like horses. The five of us, we would
tick off to sleep like 81 many clocks,
as Angus used to say. But with all
that never a touch Of drudgery. It
was the work we were best fitted for,
the work that of all else on earth we
would rather do. Out Of sheer love Of
the game we would rather have gone
through it for nothing; would have
paid for the chance, some of us, If not
allowed to do it otherwise. And may
say l never knew a world beater In
athletics who did not go at his work
with that same feeling. II it we're not

Addison Spriggs,
BY s. {. kiser.

With a heartfelt sigh Addison
Spriggs put down his magazine. He
had just finished reading a famous
experts article on the deadly dangers
of improper and inadequate v%entila-
ton. In the mind of Mr.. Spriggs there
was formed a splendid resolution.
Providence" he said to himself,
has singled me out for the perform
ance of an important duty. | shall go
forth at once to teach the poor and
the ignorant the Importance of keep
Ing their doors and windows open. By
persuading those who sit in darkness

Carefully adjusting his ear-muffs
and turning up the collar of his great
coat, Mr.. Addison Spriggs proceeded
toward the slums, keeping a sharp
lookout for unventilated houses and
ever and on turning his back to
the blast, so that his nos might not
be frozen. At last he paused before a
rickety cottage. He noticed that the
door was closed as tightly as possible.
There were no open windows, and
where a pane had been broken out
the benighted occupants had endeav-
ored to deprive themselves of ventila-
ton by stuffing into the aperture u
ragged pillow. 1t was clearly a place
where the enlightened services of Ad-
Olson Spriggs were demanded.

What do you want?' asked the de

had succeeded in pushing Mr.. Spriggs
aside and closing the door.

you are stunning the growth and i'm

Then a large, coarse man who wore
heavy shoes and was devoid of trou-
sers emerged from behind a door and
kicked Addison Spriggs into the street
where he succeeded after a time in
crawling out of a bank of sno which
had broken his fall but had not i'm

Gazing back at the cottage and motto
ing that the door and windows were

Complete Cure by cuticura.

About fifteen or eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top of my
hand. 1t burned and itched SO much
that I was compelled to show it to a
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.

disease increased and went up my
arms and to my legs and finally on my
face. The burning was something
terrible. / went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best
in town. He told me it was eczema

Rev. R. P. Bell.
Sketch OF Former Local Young Man
Who is "Making Good" In His
Chosen Field.

Sir Knight, Rev. r. P. Bell
has received a commission as
Grand Chaplain of the Uniform
Ranks, Knights of Pythias, sign
ed by H. P. Brown, Commander
in Chief, Arthur j. Stobert, Maj
or General and Earnest Lowery,
Adjutuant General, thus adding
Rev. Bell as a staff officer for the
next four years.
The citizens here in general
will heartily ngratulate Rev.
Bell upon this new honor. 1t is
one richly deserved. He came
here from Vanderbilt University
two years ago to this his first
charge. That it was a difficult
place to fill, judging by compar-
ison one may easily see as he fol-
lowed the almost sainted and
well beloved DR.. j, A. Boland.
That he has been able to main
tain the high standard of his
church and add to it's spiritual
and material strength is a mat
ter of congratulation. He has
not only taken an interest in his
own church and his own people
but his courteous courageous ma
ture has reached out to all the
churches and to those Of no
church utilization.
He knows how to meet the peo-
pie without trying all the time
to impress them that as a preach
er Il am holier than thou" He
realizes that good comradeship
is necessary for the brotherhood
of men. He takes up no new
fads or creeds. He recognizes
the difference between church
and state. He does not think
the whole world rests on his
shoulders. He recognizes that
the great mission of the church
is to preach Christ and him cru
Gifted,
Before entering the university
he had been the editor of the
Calhoun Chronicle, here too he
had been a student of human ma
ture, and it is his humanity, his
living near to natures heart, able
to feel the heart throbs os the
people, that makes him beloved.
A power that surpasses all the
doctrinal sermons ever enunciat-
ed from the pulpit. That the
confidence of the people and THEN
admiration is not limited to Rev
Bells church vineyard is evil
denced in his appointment If
which all of his friends join il
congratulations. P t. Pleasant
