THE TENDENCY TO BE QUEER
Every Community Has individuals
Whose One Idea is to Kick
Over the Traces.

While the majority of people are in
clined to think and act like one an
other, thus keeping the social order
from violent commissions, there is on
the part of a great many native ten
dency toward the queer; they are con-
tented only outside of the traces. In
every community small enough to be
aware of its own individualities people
in general know who are che natural
born ome-outers-which man and
which woman is likely TO take up
with the newest fad in dress doctor
ing, means of grace, political econ
omy, social science" and the true
authorship of Shakespeare's plays.
There are certain persons destined
to progress from one so-called reform
to another more extreme as quickly
as the reform shows itself They are
pretty sure to box the compass Of re-
ligions, passing by gradual or violent
stages from absolute irreligion 10 the
narrowest dogmatism, or with great
rapidity the other way around. Or
they gravitate once and for all into
the most irrational and absurd re
ligion' which happens to be forced
upon their attention, and stick con-
tentedly to its EXTREMIST tenets and
practices. The more occult" and, to
the ordinary mind, preposterous the
new religion, the greater the attrac-
ton it has for certain minds. The
new religion is apt to be founded on
1t which by very reiteration and use
has become trite. In its new and fan
tastic dress the old principle strikes
the new adept as something in the ma
ture of fresh revelation-Century.

WEALTH FOR WEALTH'S SAKE.
ing Against the Domination Of
Mammon.

Look about you, and sooner or later
you will see some man to whom the
Idea of wealth, as wealth, does not ap-
peal. | advise you to watch this man
closely for he will presently dem
onstrate to you that money dominates
everybody except the man who does
not want money. You may meet that
man on your farm in your village, or
In your legislature. But be sure
that whenever or wherever you meet
him, as soon as it comes to a direct
issue between you his little finger
will be thicker than your loins. You
will go in fear of him; he will not
go in fear of you. You will do what
he wants; he will not do what you
want. You will find that you have
no weapon in your armory with which
you can attack him; no argument with
which you can appeal to him. What
ever you gain, he will gain more. l
would like you better to be that man,
because from the lower point of view
1t doesn't pay to be possessed by the
desire of wealth for wealth's sake. If
more wealth is necessary to you for
purposes not your own, use your left
hand to acquire it, but keep your right
for your proper work in life. If you
employ both arms in that game you
will be in danger of STOPPING; in dan
ger also of losing your soul.-Rudyard
Kipling.

10 Stop Couqhinu.

Coughing is one of the nuisances
that no one has been able to abolish
in churches or in theaters A ply
stefan, however, claims that the
coughing nuisance is a mere question
OF acoustics.
There is a subtle connection be-
tween the ear and the throat" he
said when the ear is strained the
throat is affected and a cough is the
result
when We can hear perfectly in
church or theater it never occurs to
us TO cough. But when bend for
ward, straining every nerve to catch
the actors or preachers muf1led syl-
tables, then we find ourselves cough
ing every little while Build audi
forums with perfect acoustic proper
ties, and | warrant that the thunder
Gus choruses of coughs, so common
now among US, will be no more
heard"

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength:
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's matter OF food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal Quaker
Oats is the best because ii is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages; If not near the store buy the
large size family package. 2

CARRIED AVERSION TO GRAVE.
Albanian Was Strong on Antipa-
thy to Water.

Obsessed for years with the notion
that water is fit for drinking purposes
only, and then only in small doses,
Joe Booth, a well-known character about
town with the beard of a patriarch,
strolled into the undertaking parlor of
Greenburg, Bond q Bloomfield. says
the Atlanta Journal The weight of
20 years was on his shoulders, and
the sorrows of ages seemed to weigh
on his heart.
II amt got long in this world" he
said. Il want to make one last re-
quest. When | die | want you to lay
me out, but want you to promise me
one thing-don't, please mister, don't
wash any part of me except my
neck"
Mr.. Bond looked at the man a mo-
ment wondering if this was a case
for the ordinary or the board Of
health.
Please, mister, it's little matter
the last request of an old man-just
my neck, that's all"
Mr.. Bond promised it should even
be so, and Booth went out with an &C.
static look on his face. Theory had
won victory over the dogma that
cleanliness is next to godliness.

Trouble.

Trouble, in-whatever shape it comes,
Is a hard discipline We must always
remember that all that really counts
is the way we bear it. To give in to
q woe, an illness, poverty, heart-sick-
ness, loneliness, loss, is to aggravate
1t.
To hope for better things, to strive
womanfully for courage. to seek dis
traction and turn a happy face to the
world is to build a better future, oft
entimes on the very ruins Of the dis
lister that now looms so large.

It's worthy undertakings.
 At my request Mrs. Electra Semmers Colston, the gifted daughter of our great admiral wrote for our U. ID. c. columns the appended splendid sketch of her illustrious father. Many Dsugh- ters In this and in other States have written to me for data on the life of Raphael Semmes and I hope the various chapters will see and use this sketch on September 27. when every chapter in the State is requested to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the birth of our greatest set-chief- tain.
 It would be beautiful and fitting addition to the program for the Semmes Centennial Celebration Sept ember 27 to have the chapter present 6 picture of the Confederate admiral to the public schools as companion to the protraits of Robert F.

Entombed Mine Official is
Rescued in Nick of Time

TALESTER, Okl., Dec. S0.-After having
been entombed twenty-elght hours in
smoke-flled cut of the Bolen-Darnall COM
panys coal mine, near here, Supenntend-
ent John Brown was rescued alive but un-
conscious this morning. Had his rescuers
Jailed TO reach him, Brown would surely
have died within another hour. AS It is
his condition Is serious. but the mine ply
sicians believe he has a fighting chance
for life.
Brown, who Is a well known mining man
OF Hartford, Ark, risked his life in a
heroic attempt to rescue Angelo Asnicar
a shot frer. who was entombed following
an explosion on one OF the lower levels Of
the mine late Tuesday. Brown apparently
had not reached even close TO the point
where Asnicar had been overcome when he
himself succumbed 10 the foul gases and
smoke that choksd the various passages.
The shot firer's fate still remains unknown.
fhe explosion occurred just as the day
force was emerging from the main shaft
and before the night shift had entered the
mine.
Asniear had remained below TO set off a
