Your average citizen, for instance,
will go through inconceivable effort
to indicate of what fine material he
is made. At the very idea of chop
ping wood for Mrs. Henderson on
hot day, Mr.. Henderson will frown,
but get him with a heavy hammer at
Coney Island or at any other amuse-
ment resort in the country, put him
up against an indicator which viii! in
physical possibilities of Mr.. Henderson
and Mr.. Henderson will pay for the
privilege Of working three times as
hard as he would in the infinitely
more useful and domestic avocation
Of chopping wood.
But in the last case, Mrs. Fender
son is the only locker on. If it were
possible to gather an audience while
Mr.. Henderson chopped wood and that
audience could be induced to think
what wonderful chopper Mr.. Fender
son was, that amiable gentleman
would probably chop it with great in
dustry. This is another phase in the
psychology of summer amusements.
Knowing that mankind and woman
kind like to be seen doing things, 1t
becomes the immediate aim and OBJ
ject in life of every amusement pro-
ducer to allow mankind and woman
kind to be seen-doing things.-Metro-

WHAT COULD A POOR MAN DO?
He Would Not Last Long in Endurance
Test With Woman.

Wilbur D. Nesbit, writing in the
Chicago Evening Post, says there is a
lot of vainglorious expressions on the
part of the men about their being the
superior sex. We hear, he says, too
much of mans endurance, of his intel
lect, of his executive ability and all
that sort Of thing. Then he adds:
Take man and make him wear
a spotted veil and he will be nearly
blind within a year.
Pinch man into corset and with
in a week he will have heart trouble
chronic pleurisy, acute Indigestion, ap-
'pendicitis and funeral.
Pile few pounds of false hair on
a mans head and he will succumb to
brain fever within a month.
Tie mans ankles in hobble skirt
and he will have rheumatism, followed
by paralysis of the legs from lack of
exercise.
Clamp mans feet in tight shoes
and make him toddle about on high
heels and he will die Of the charley
horse.
Man loses on the score of endurance
alone. Intellect and executive ability
are argued by the capacity to combat
these tortures and trials.
Man, he sums it up, is undoubtedly
the inferior sex and should retire to
the last row of seats and be quiet.

A Little Wisdom Now and Then.

Cultivate vices when you are young,
and when you are old they will not
forsake you.
Contentment knocks at every mans
door, but is usually ordered off the
premises.
What married woman doesn't
know-she suspects.
Beware of the man who would rath-
er soil his conscience with deceit than
his hands with honest toll.
Though Hope is naught but an oft
convicted liar, yet she hath such a
sweet voice that whenever she speaks
all the world willingly lends an ear.
The shiftless man is always relig-
ious-he lets God take care of his
family.
What the heart knows the mind may
as we'll accept.
No one has yet invented a tire that
will keep the matrimonial car from
skidding.
While figures won't lie. the trouble
seems to be that we don't all figure
alike.
There is but one virtue, and that is
moderation.
Hope is expecting something we
know won't happen.
Spending money is like sliding down
hill on toboggan; earning it is like
walking up and pulling the toboggan
after you. Guess which is best for
the legs and wind.
THE wicked shall stand in slippery
places"-which suggests that 1t is not
well to be too pious in sleet storm

Lived With Neck Pierced by Arrow

Lived With Neck Pierced by Arrow.
1t was in the summer of 80 that
George Wainwright and Ben Spencer
each in charge of a train of freight
wagons, were headed for the Missouri
River to bring supplies back to Colo
RADIO points. The Indians were very
troublesome in those days, and these
two outfits always camped together
for protection. One night they had
arranged the camp, with the wagons
forming circle, and everybody but
the guards were to be inside. Vain
wright preferred to sleep in a clump
of cottonwoods about quarter of a
mile off, and there he fixed himself
with his negro servant as a body
guard. Neither the camp nor Vain
| wright were disturbed during the
night, but early the next morning,
while Wainwright was sitting on the
ground with his back to tree drink.
| ing his tin of coffee, an arrow from
an unseen foe entered his neck to the
right of the jugular vein, and was
driven with such force as to impale
the victim to the tree. The negro
believing his master was killed, ran
to Spencer's camp and gave the
alarm.
Spencer and some of his men rush
ed over to Wainwright. Instead o!
being dead. Wainwright was not ever
seriously injured. Spencer cut the
arrow off close to the point of entrance
and then gently drew Wainwright:
head forward until he was released
The victim suffered but little incon
venience from the wound. and by tn,
time the trip was completed it wa!
entirely healed.-Los Angeles Times.

claims of St. Louis, had remarked
to the committee that if the vote
went against his city a decade
would bring another great an
~niversary to be celebrated, the
centennial of the Louisiana Pur-
chase, and st. Louis would be
there to claim another hearing.
In the presentation of the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition project
in 1901, Mr.. Francis headed the
delegation from the twelve States
and the two territories embraced
in the Purchase territory. Con-
greSs in the beginning made a
liberal appropriation for the OBJ
Servance, and subsequently it
made a loan of $4,000, 900 to com
plete and open the exposition.
Every dollar of the loan was re-
paid in exact accordance with
the Act of Congress; and every
pledge given to the government
was carried out. At the close Of
the exposition the satisfaction
of the administration at Wash
ington was expressed in the
strongest terms. Foreign govern
ments, recognizing the impor-
lance of the services rendered
to the world at large, bestowed
upon Mr.. Francis various deco
rations and honors.
The personality of David R.
Francis is of pervasive and per-
suading rather than dominating
quality. 1t is, with him, "come,"
rather than follow" The in
fluence of such quality always
present and active can be traced,
step by step, through the years
of preparation, to the culminat-
ing and unprecedented success of
the Worlds Fair of 1904. Mr..
Francis success in every field
of endeavor is accounted for by
these characteristics. Never in
any position have his fellow citi-
zens found him arrogant or dicta-

called the second father of the
University, ranking with James
S. Rollins as one of the two men
who had done the most for the
Institution.
Mr.. Francis became Mayor of
st. Louis on a plurality of 1920.
-Four years previously-that be-
ing the term of office-the city
had elected a Republican to the
majority by a lead of $4,000 over
the next candidate. In the spring
of 1885 the Democratic party of
st. Louis became involved in an
exciting contest over three can
didates for the head of the ticket.
The balloting was continued all
night, The forenoon of the next
day, Mr.. Francis, attending to
his business, was notified that he
had been nominated for Mayor.
He had not been a candidate.
While this was the beginning of
his political office holding, it was
not strictly the entrance of Mr..
Francis into active politics. The
State Convention, meeting in st.
Louis, in 1884, to elect delegates
to the Chicago Convention which
nominated Mr.. Cleveland the first
time, selected Mr.. Francis, to his
surprise, as one of four delegates
at large, giving him next to the
highest vote in the convention.
Among the achievements Of
Mayor Francis administration
was the reduction of interest on
the municipal debts from six and
seven per cent, to three and sixty
five hundredths and four per
cent. A railroad debt of SILL
600 was collected. The policy of
paving business streets with gran
lite blocks was carried through.
The price of gas was reduced
from $3.50 to $1.25 per 1000 Gu
bic feet. Street sprinkling of all
the streets were adopted. Other
measures of great practical ben
eft so strongly commended the
young Mayor hat he was nom
mated for Governor a few months
before the municipal term ex-
pired.
At the New York Centennial
celebration in 1889, the Missouri
Governor was present with a bat
TALON of the National Guards of
Missouri. The Legislature had
failed to make an appropriation.
Nevertheless the troops assem-
bled at the station. Just before
the special train started the rail
road agent appeared and said he
must have his money. Governor
Francis gave his personal check
for $4,000 and the expedition
moved. Missouri's creditable rep
resentation at that celebration
was one of the first riffs in the
ugly cloud which had been hang
ing over the State since the Civil
War. Subsequently a bill to REIN
burse Governor Francis was pre-
scented in the Legislature. 1t was
ruled down. The Governors only
comment was that the measure
would probably come before re-
curing sessions for the next
twenty years, if that period Of
time was necessary to vindicate
the wisdom of the States parti-
cipation in the centennial eelebra-
ton. The next day the vote re-
fusing reimbursement was recon
sidered and the payment was or.
dered.
Missouri did not appropriate a
dollar for representation at the
Centennial Exposition in Phil
adelphia, at the New Orleans or
at the Atlanta Exposition. Gov
