A Good Minstrel Show.

Company D in MINISTRIES was the
attraction at The Colonial theatre last
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and
the soldiers made good. The grand
opening was we'll staged and showed a
beautiful setting with Capt. J. w. Tinker,
the interlocutor and those in the circle
in full dress, the six end men in unique
costumes, chorus of about so wearing
the fatigue uniform of olive drab, and
two jackies, Carlyle Sargent and Ray
Pratt. The songs and jokes were all
good and the small audiences were
thoroughly apprecative, Among the
end men Henry Wallace showed his
friends that their claim to his succession
to the original Hank White was no idle
boast. He responded to eight encores
and could have come back again with
out displeasing the crowd. The Illus
trated ballads by the two boy sopranos
were certainly comparable with any
thing of a like nature ever heard in town.
In the olio Stearns and Phelps, two
local lads, aquitted themselves very
creditably as aeria1ists. Frank 0.
French did his usual side-splitting
monologue and musical act and piece
of real classy acting was contributed by
M. Frank Tinker and Miss Laura
Mulch, including dancing and vocal and
instrumental music. In fact the affair
was a success in every way except
attendance, and that the attendance
was not what it should have been can
not be charged to the company, who put
on a good show, for good object, that
of equipping their new armory, and they
were deserving OF a better>patronage.

Business Training.
Article Written by I. N. Vail for the
November "cyStem."

The following article was written by
T \. Vail and published in the November
oSvstem," the magazine of business.
Every young person and every parent
should read it and understand the
practical advice it contains.
All business as now conducted-par-
ticularly those lines OF business which
embrace the so-called dustries-requires
snecialized training and technical educa-
ton. in fact so much scientific knowledge
that the distinctive line between bus
mess" and profession" is fast dis
appearing
ANYONE who hopes to achieve success,
even the average, must know more, or
at least as much, about some one thing
as any other one and not only know,
Int know how to do-and how to utilize
his experience and knowledge for the
benefit of others. Broad success depends
on singleness of purpose, clear perception
of what is to be desired and to be
accomplished, and capacity to recognize
true values of men and things and
properly place them.
Thorough preparation in elementary
knowledge, wherever and however ac-
duired, development and training of the
powers OF concentration and application,
is the best, in fact the only, foundation
II on which to build this special or
technical training. After this the willing
ness to ersevere in the effort to accom-
plish something for the purpose Of
accomplishment, the ambition to do
whatever is to be done and what
ever is undertaken and do it right
making personal ambition secondary to
everything else-will bring about great
success, providing the God-given, or
inherent, capacity to do great things
exists; but in any case success up to the
full measure of capacity.
Without this preparation and training
failure is absolutely certain.
The crying evil of the young man who
enters the business world today is
the lack of application, preparation
thoroughness, with ambition but with
out the willingness to struggle to gain
his desired end.
Mental and physical strength comes
only through the exercise and working
of mind and body.
There is too little idea of personal
responsibility; too much of "the world
owes me living" forgetting that ii the
world does owe you living you your
self must be your own collector.
The cause of all this is the lack of anc
continual letting down of both domestic
and social discipline. Convention anc
morals are purely matter of discipline
discipline need not necessarily be bruta
or even severe but better brutal thar
none at all.
1t is for the parents to see that the
youth has the foundation, training ano
discipline. If the youth is given that, he
will get for himself every bit of the rest
to the limit of his capacity.
Opportunities never were more plenty
than now, but one must have the train
ing and development not only to recog
nize opportunity but take advantage o
it when recognized.

PANIC STARTED
BY CRY OF FIRE
Wild Scramble in Department
Store at Detroit and
Many Injured.

Detroit July 9.-One child is dying
and about twenty women or children
are suffering from severe injuries as a
result of q cry Of Fire in Kresges'
10-Cent store at Woodward avenue and
State street, while the place was
jammed with people. The store was
having its opening today and the five
story building was literally damned
with people. principally women and
children. 1t is estimated that 500
women were busy searching for bar
gains on the second floor when the
panic started. Two men are said to have
reached simultaneously for the same
article and to have begun scuffling over
it. This caused a little excitement in
their immediate neighborhood and at
tracted the attention of those near by.
The Onlookers pressed about them, and
suddenly the cry of Fire was heard.
It turned The hundreds of shoppers into
a maddened, fighting mob, intent only on
reaching the stairway at the rear of the
building They surged down the aisles
and packed themselves into such a solid
mass on the stairs that the guard rails
gave way, precipitating many of the
struggling women to the floor below. In
a moment the stairway, the floor below
and the second floor above were one
mass of screaming women and children.
Clothes were torn, hats were ripped off,
and those who were unfortunate to lose
their footing were tTampled upon.
Employees of the store, assisted by po-
licemen, finally convinced the mob that
the building was not afire, and succeeded
in calming them. Ambulances were sum-
moned and the injured were taken to his
pitfalls.

they could they got tickets and went in.
There was nobody in the house. They
sat in the dark for a time, wondering
what was going to happen. Then the
lights were turned up and they saw the
curtain. They admired that sufficiently,
they thought, and wondered what came
next
Some people came in and talked and
laughed. Then the outside curtain was
rolled up. displaying another curtain with

SUN COOKING.


Sun cooking-roRsting and boiling by
sunlight instead Of gas or coal-has been
going on for 80 years. There are sun
stoves that roast q sirloin OF boil d SOUP
to perfection They are only used, how
ever, by scientists.
A sun stove consists mainly OF a mir
TOT, a spherical mirror, on a joint. There
Is also a reflector. The place for pot OF
plate is so situated that the mirrors RAYS
can be focused on 4 accurately.
A German, Baron Tchernhauseu was
the first sun cook. He began in 1857 10
boil water, and in 1855 he had very good
success in boiling eggs. Sir John Her
schel and Button are other famous names
associated with sun cooking.
In California various sun cooks have
boiled a gallon Of water in twenty min
utes, roasted meat in two hours and
poached eggs IN fifteen minutes-quite as
good as the ordinary fire makes.
An odd thing about meat roasted by sun
RAYS is that Il has an unpleasant taste.
This is avoided by the insertion of q
plate of yellow glass between meat and
mirror. In all solar stoves the sheet OF
yellow glass figures.
