WHY He WouId Die There.

The late Archie Williams, the we'll
known Topeka lawyer. was an artist
with sharp repartee. One time he went
to a small Kansas town not very far
from Topeka to attend court. This
town is a typical country village, and
little or nothing ever causes a ripple
on it's dull level" It is a good town,
as towns of its size go, but a rather
trying place for a city bred to spend
any considerable period of idle time.
Williams business kept him in the
town for two days, and a lot of time
hung heavy on his handle, for one of
the days was Sunday.
Fine place, this" said native to
him.
YES" said Williams, rather shortly.
He didn't seem at all eager to open a
discussion concerning the merits of
the hamlet
cal good place." continued the ma
tive.
4. yes" said Williams. and again
showed no inclination to discuss the
, subject.
You like it. do your" asked the ma
tive.
Like it? Like itq" answered Will
liams, very gently and softly. He got
up and laid his hand on the natives
shoulder. Like It? Why. my dear good
friend. l like this town so well
could die here"
"Why-why-I'm glad to know that.
But how does it appeal to you so much
as that?"
why" said Williams, still very
gently, Il never saw place in all my
life, and I have lived a good many
years, which ! could leave with so few

BLOOMSBURY, N. J., Nov. AL
ready famous as the solitary town IN

which General Washington tied MS

beautiful village addressed isten 70
the notice of the nation again yester-
day as a place where the sport of wild
game shooting is fearfully and won
derfully pursued.
Braving the consensus of local crlti-
cism which disparages the cacophony
of booming guns on Sunday, a party
of mighty sportmen entered Blooms
bury woods the other day. Dressed
i'm a scheme of those natty tans, ecru
and olive snuffs affected by careful
dressers in the woods this season, the

Suddenly Mr. Fox espied a partridge
sneezing on a fence.
"Jod," he called to Mr.. Sylvester,
that bird cd thad fedce is sdeezing.

ter "ad so alb l, ad so are you"
"Devertheless." replied Mr. Fox, Il

Which. indeed, proved to be the
case. The rapid motions of the bird s

have sufficiently ruined Mr.. FoX's aim
In any case. but with Mr.. Fox also

was as safe as though being served
for slipper.

Fox as he elected his shell.

Mr.. Sylvester.
Rabbit Was Barking.
This might have led to complica-
tions, but at that moment there broke
from the bush an infuriated rabbit
barking like a dog and apparently
trying to sneeze its head off. AS the
sportsmen dashed behind trees the
rabbit crashed on through the woods
and presently the place was filled
with cries. indicating that the crazed
rabbit was staying a COW.
Lets go hobe," said Mr.. Fox.
"I'b with you as soon as cad the

It was discovered subsequently that
as the wild rabbit ran he had shaken
a fine powder like dust from his feet

from the local concrete works. Cows

WHAT A MOTHER DID.
By EDWIN A. NYR


United States Senator William Al
den Smith of Michigan got his start
IN life in the popcorn business.
Behind the popcorn business, how
ever. and behind Smith was a wise
mother
The Smith family back in the ffties
was very poor, and William was
obliged 10 quit school and help to
make the living
But note this:
Hts mother made him believe. even
when he was a small boy. that despite
poverty he would be a successful
man
That faith put into the boys mind
by his mothers suggestion stayed
there and taught him the great art Of
believing In himself
William began selling popcorn at
the county fair and at other gather
ings Of the people. He prospered be
cause he believed in himself. So sue
cessful was the young merchant that
the little kitchen at Dowagiac was
transformed into a factory for making
popcorn boGs.
Then William organized and enlarg-
ed the business. taking in another boy
as partner This was before the day
Of the common popcorn vender. VII
liam was a pioneer.
The boys bought horse and wagon,
fitted the wagon up with an organ and
made a business trip OF the country.
William sang songs to attract the
crowds, the other boy playing the &C
compartment, and the business -four
ished.
II was while singing and talking to
the people that young Smith prepared
to charm listening senates and learned
the trick of holding a crowd, a faculty
he has kept
All the time his mother permitted no
thought Of possible failure to enter
bis mind. SO that. holding his faith
in himself. he just kept climbing until
he got into the senate
How could he help it7
He believed. dreamed. practiced
won. success.
And. looking back on his life. Sena,
tor Smith is free to say it was bis
mothers constant suggestion. which
would not permit him TO doubt. that
made him what he is.
Here is a lesson. mothers:
II you have a boy IN whose future
success you believe. who is capable OF
success
Make him believe IN himself
Do not let him spend useful time IN

NEED SCHOOLS TO
EDUCATE LOVERS
Preacher Advocates Lessons
In Art Of Being En-
gagged Too

WASHINGTON, Nov. "A course in
study for couples about to become en-
gagged, whereby they may intelligently
@ter the field of matrimony, was adj
vocated by the Rev. +. Hes Sven,
pastor Of the Capital Baptist Church,
IN the second of his lectures on Love
and Matrimony." The address, which
was entitled Should Lovers Be En-
gaged?" was delivered in Typo
graphical Temple, the present hoAe
of the church.
In his address Mr.. Sven comment
ed on the fact that in educational in
stitutions there is no course Of study
for engaged couples. Ideas concern
ing engagements, he said. are CLEANED
from novels which are artificial and
not to be considered as reliable
guides.
There is a disposition, he declared
to treat engagements fiippantly. En-
gagements In reality are very serious
he asserted, and should receive the
careful consideration of the parties
interested Every man and girl about
to become engaged should give
thought to the step planned before
taking f.
! Under all circumstances, the speak
er said, lovers should be Engaged
This was a necessity to impending
matrimony, which helped the two tC
know each other better.
Mr.. Sven counseled mothers tC
warn their daughters and not allow
them 70 fall in love with some younf
man without pointing out the dangers
to them. In support Of this advice
the speaker recalled several instances
OF cases where girls had committed
suicide because of the faithlessnesi OF
the men they loved
With regard to the length of time
couples should be engaged Mr. Sven
said that that she should be left to
I them, but that IL should not be toe
long or too short. He quoted a we'll
known man whom he accredited with
saying that engagements that are toe
long tire everybody but the two who
are engaged" On the other hand
he said. due time should be given the
engaged couple to make u9 their
minds whether they held ar aolding
affection for each other.

Hints on Cleaning fhs Sink

Every sink should be provided with a
three-cornered sieve made by covering a
metal frame with very fine netting.
When water is thrown into the sink Il
should be turned into this sieve, pre-
venting the solid matter from getting into
the pipes and causing trouble. Each time
the dishes are washed the sink should
be carefully cleaned. The quickest way
is to dissolve a teaspoonful of Gold
Dust washing powder in hot water.
rinse every portion of the sink with
the Gold Dust solution, pouring soma
of the hot suds down the pipe to loosen
the grease that may have gathered in
the trap.

Three constitutional amend

other is not. The latter calls for
an increase in the bonding limit
of the state to enable the capital

In other words, the state of Ida
no is now bonded to the limit
and if more money is to be raised
it is necessary to amend our
state constitution and raise the
bonding limit defined therein.
