Mrs. Brjous' Speech,

If brevity is the soul of wit, one of
the wittiest speeches on record was
made by a woman. Mrs. Briggs lived
in the northern part Of Indiana, a long
distance from any village. Hearing
that the Rev. Mr.. Goodwin was to
preach in a township some twenty
miles distant, she resolved to be pres
ent. and as no other way offered, she
walked the twenty miles.
The pastor heard Of this, and was
so pleased at the appreciation which
it showed that at the close of the SER
mon he mentioned the fact to the con-
gregation, and called upon Mrs. Briggs
to tell them how she came.
Rising slowly, she looked over the
audience with great solemnity, and
said:
81 hoofed It,"
Then she sat down again.-Youth's
Companion.

WHY new ORLEANS
CITY is LOGICAL POINT FOB
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark 1t as
Most Suitable Spot for DedI-
cation of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion Of the Panama Canal
in 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all the nations Of the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition Is to be held
will be settled by Congress at it's ap-
Noaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums Of
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance so great an enterprise
An Exposition worthy of the term
worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed
vocational movement. It's success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage OF our popula-
ton who can secure its educational
advantages, this In turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel
ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost in railroad and Pullman
SS, dI0 Tic ulOSL IduI
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the ''Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi
ton, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are l7,500,000
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000
Within a radius Of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are G5,000,000
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population of 100000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities, with a com
bined population of Just 100000.
The average distance Of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over IS per cent. Of the people Of
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions Of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques.
ton to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama EXPOSE
ton, and If held in New Orleans a
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There
fore, We urge our readers to write to
the two senators from this State and
the congressman from this district,
requesting them to support New Or.

WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE

81 began to have an itching over my
whole body about seven years ago and
this settled in my limbs, from the knee
to the toes. l went to see great many
physicians, a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after l noticed that l did
not get any relief that way, went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there, used
all the medicines that could see but
became worse and worse. l had an
Inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When I showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened I did not know
what to do. I was so sick and had be,
come so nervous that I positively lost
all hope.
81 had seen the advertisement OF
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for had already used so
many medicines. Finally did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and l
tell you that l was never SO pleased as
when l noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-
tire Inflammation had gone. l was
completely cured. l should be only
too glad If people with similar disease

to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

Managing a Husband.

Men are like children; they want
managing, although you must never
let them dream that you think so. No
child likes to be ordered about, no
man will endure coercion. But man
aging! It is an art so subtle, so elu
sive, that few women, understand
even the rudiments of 1t. Sisters
mine, let us reason together, says
Woman's Life. In every human being
there is a spark Of the divine; 1t Is
yours to fan that spark into flame
that Is managing man-it is to get
the very best out of him there is to
have, and not two women in ten can
do it.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing man-to
bring out the best is high vocation.
Only let us see to it that we are
worthy of it. There are women who
have made angels of men, but at the
cost of their own divinity. There is
room for more than one unself1sh per
son in a family.

"They are not brownies, dearie,"

The Privilege of Man.

B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the exc

railroads, on one occasion took to task
young man in his employ who had
announced his intention of marrying.
The youth in question was drawing
a small salary, and Yoakum remon-
strated with him on the ground that
he could not afford to marry and that
his wife would have to suffer great
privations.

Willie's teacher began to like him

year, and she testified to her affection
by offering him pocketknife.
