of time the old one vanished-van- ished magically from my pocket"
 You dropped it, said the practi- cal man.
 Why didn't 1 drop the new one?" asked the theorist. And why is it always that way? I had a new key made for my office desk, under the i'm pression that there was something wrong with the old one. There wasn't. l carried both of them on a ring. Aft CT awhile the old one, which I didn' t use, vanished off the key ring.
 At home l use an eyeshade for reading at night. I had two, one light and one heavy. Lately l have been using the heavy one alone, keep ing the light one in a drawer. Today opened the drawer and found the light one gone. Do you think the maid opened the drawer so as to find some thing to sequester for the waste basket?"
 'Bosh!" said the practical man. Try it," said the theorist.

De gatiOns from almost every German sett ,ement in the state participa ted in the parade. A feature of it was the marching sO- ciety of Swiss of Litt'e Rock. This organization has between 50 and 60 members and they made a great hit as they marched through the streets in their native Swiss costumes. Beautiful. floats enter cd by various societies attracted much favorable comment. They were more e aborate than any be fore seen here. One of them pree- scented the Zeppein airship. An other showed German women in the q days spinning law with their large spinning whees. A f oat prepared by the Sons of Her. man was one of the most cab crate in the parade. Considerab le credit is due to Grand Marsha. II o. Vog,er and his aides for the sue cess of the event.
 Address by prominent speakers are being delivered at Turner Ha | this afternoon .. Singing societies are a.so assisting in the event. A grand bal will close the celebra' tiOn tonight.

There are thousands and thousands of do,,ars sent away to these foreign conc arns annua y, and if the peop,e who send their money away wou d compare our home merchants prices with the prices they pay these houses they will find in the long run that they

 Few people stop to realize that whrr they send monoV to some foreign ! use that this money is put out of circu.a tion in our town and county, and every dollar that is sent away from home that mucf va,ue off of our property.

The lay has beer celebrated in various cit,cs throughout the country in honor of the first Germans landing on United States soil at German- town in 1883. 1t is doub.fu! how ever if there has been a ce,ebra. tion anywhere that would equal the one he'd here in good fellow ship speaking and various exhib- itions including monster parade this morning.

VARIETIES OF CORN FLOWER.
Three Hundred and Fifty Different Specimens in Existence, Accord
 ing to Botanists.

Germany adopted the corn flower as national institution many years ago, the adoption coming about mere ly by way of a popular choice. It is a common flower all over Europe but rather more prolific in Germany than in any other of the countries graced by it.
 Botanists tell us that there are no less than $50 varieties of the corn flower to be found, but the plant that is found in profusion in the realms of the kaiser is said to be the most beautiful of all. The Germans admire 1t for the richness of its wreath-like circle of outer florets and the splen. dors of its deep azure tints as it opens to the sun.
 At one time German scientists at tributed certain medicinal properties to the corn flower, and it's blue blos- hons were used also to some extent in domestic dyeing, but latterly these properties are not so much credited to it.
 Although Germany lays claim to the finest of the species, America may boast also of some beautiful speci- mems of the corn flower It is said to have been brought to this country first in the ballast of ships in the days antedating the modern ocean flyer, which carries only water bal last. In this country it is variously known as the Bachelors Button, Corn Bottle, Witches Bellies or Thim- bles, Blue Bonnet, and Blue Poppy.

THEORIST IN DEEP TROUBLE.
He Cannot Understand Why Thinqs Disappear When They Are Not

Did you ever notice," asked the the orist, how a thing will disappear if you don't use 1t for awhile? Leave it around your room for awhile and it will vanish"
 Easy enough" said the practical man. The servant sweeps it into the wastebasket."
 Not at all, said the theorist. Try the experiment of having two of any thing and use one, and the other will disappear. I mislaid my pocketknife few weeks ago and bought another. 1 found my old one that night and car. ried both in my pocket for awhile, al- ways using the new one. In the course

The Matter of Vacations.

The rule TO take vacation at least
once year is becoming mere and
more general 1t is extending to every
walk of life. The reason lies i'll the
fact that peoples everyday work is
getting more strenuous. 1t requires
a great effort TO succeed and the
strain is therefore great. Men feel It
must relax. There comes a time when
they must throw off the cares and
worries of business and rest. An Ok
change voices some thoughts concern.
ing vacations that are of general III
terest at this particular time of the
year The exchange referred to says:
The fight in the struggle for exist
ence is becoming greater. 1t is said
that IS per cent of all who enter bust
ness fail So that with all the strug-
giles and sacrifices made in the interest
of successful business operations the
per cent of real success is small.
"Of course, one could go into the
reasons for this and discuss the extra
vagaEces of everyday life; the vast
amount of money that is taken out of
business and used to crafty desires,
such as automobiles and a great many
expensive luxuries-luxuries that the
average person cannot afford. To get
the. money for these: to keep the bust
ness going; to compete with the other
fellow who is slowgofng and level
headed and economical. keeps the rest
of the human family stirring around
at pretty rapid pace. And if it wasn't
for the vacation period there probably
would be a great many more cases of
paresis. nervous prostration and ply
steal breakdowns."

physiognomist it appears that the
tongue when quite still can be as elo-
quent jim giving its owner away as
when it is wagging 16 to the dozen.
This is hard fact for 4 silent man to
swallow-in silence. His only remedy
is to keep well so IS to obviate the
necessary injunctioY of the doctor to
put his tongue OUT for by this thrust
out sign the doctor shall know him.
The tongue of the talker when OBJ
truded inclines to the right side of the
mouth, we are asked to believe, where
as the seldom-used tongue gravitates
to the left side. Orators, preachers
and barristers are endowed with right
sided tongues.
Verbally parsimonious persons have
left-sided tongues. Furthermore, 1.-THE
tongue that shoots out straight with
out turning or wavering indicates a
solid, reliable man of affairs" Tongues
that turn up indicate impractical ma
lures. A downward, dropping tongue
belongs to a person born to poverty
and a ready eye for the hopeless side
of things. The cruel tongue fiattens
and broadens when extended. The del
icate speaking organ with curled up
edges is the property of an imagina-
tive and artistic being. When the
tongue issues forth as if gripped in a
dental wise it signifies love of life
more than ordinary.
Finally, We are warned that the in
dividual who thrusts forth his tongue
TO the extreme verge is person TO
whom no secret should ever be con-
fided, for he is an irresponsible char
acter

Women Organize.

Too little attention is given to organ
izations of women More and more
every woman is being being drawn into
some sort of club or association, and
as result women are, growing less
morally and mentally near-sighted.
The daily papers which lead us to
believe that women foregather simply
10 wage word war and display their
millinery are misleading, for those
who know can testify that such is not
the case-the war and the millinery
being only feminine characteristics of
the most superficial sort and signify
ing no more than mems tobacco smoke.
The women's organizations. says the
Delineator, have done much in moral
and civic way, and their work is march
ing on. For instance. the American
people possess Mount Vernon as a
mecca for patriotic pilgrims because
of devoted group of women, and they
have to thank the Daughters of the
American Revolution for most of our
other historical landmarks. The buying
in of Washington's headquarters at
Valley Forge. which otherwise would
Nhave gone under the hammer, is in
stanced as only one of their good
works. They carry on a practical
charity as well.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is one of the quietest but most
efficient of women's organizations.
What they do for erring girls-and TO
prevent young girls from treading the
dark wayS-is Il beautiful story in
itself, aside from their warfare against
intemperance, their work in the jails
