JUST DON'T.

Do you feel you'd like to quit? Don't! Get to feelin' you don't fit? Don't! Do you want to yell All n"? Cause your winds a little thin And you think you'll never win? There's a kick you want to make? There's a head you want to break? Do you feel you want to whine Like a genuine canine And send blue streaks down the line?
 Well, Don't When you see a chance to duck, don't! When you want to chuck your luck,
 don't! Keep right on without stop And you'll sure show up on top, If, just when you want to flop,
 You Don't e. L. Armstrong in Houston Chron- iclc.

ADMINISTERING MEDICINE.
How to Make Children Realize That
 They Must Swallow 1t.

Giving medicine to children is one of the most difficult problems that young mothers have to cope with, for some little ones have such horror of dose that they work themselves into condition of nerv Ous illness before the medicine gets into their stomachs, and so it frequently nauseates them, thus making successive doses harder to give.
 There is no question but that if a child shows disposition to rebel against swallowing medicine the men, tai tussle must be gone through with and settled first. That is, there is no use in trying to give the dose while administering admonitions. The lit- tie ones stomach must be quiet, and this cannot be if he is in tears or is screaming.
 So when the child refuses it is es- sential to put the medicine aside and to make him underS tand that the cure must be taken. He must not for all
 
 has gained his point and need not take it. To the contrary, he is given to understand that he is obliged to and that the sooner he is quiet the better. Precisely how this is to be accomplish ed depends upon individual tempera- ment and the way each parent handles the babe. Sometimes when the argu- ment is prolonged a spanking may be required. One small girl had three doses of this maternal discipline be- fore she became quiet and swallowed her medicine There was never any trouble with her afterward, for she had been made to accept the fact that medicine when 1t was brought her was to be taken and to fuss only made the condition worse. CoaXing works with some little ones; with others pun ishment is required. Each parent must decide this for herself.
 During the time that this matter of will contest is in progress the. meN- cine is not administered. When the child has been conquered he must be given a few minutes to quiet sobs or temper, and then the dose must be given.
 If the sick child thinks he cannot swallow medicine, no matter how much he may want to, he must be broken of this idea. He is apt to change his idea rather quickly, too, if he finds that each time he ejects the medicine fresh dose is given. It takes a clever child only few moments to realize that he is simply prolonging the agony.
 The notion some have that they can- not swallow pills is likely to be im- agination, which 1t is not always we'll to give in to. If there is a reason for paying heed to 1t an easy way of ob- viating 1t Is to give liquid instead, for there are few prescriptions that cannot be administered in this form. The old way of giving pills in jelly does not commend itself to present ideas. The sweet, combined with medicine, is apt to upset the stomach, causing nausea.
 To deceive a child about medicine and tell him it is good is a great mis- take. This may work once, but he will be suspicious ever after. He should be made to understand that medicine is not joke, but that it is less disagreeable than to be ill, and that whether he wishes it or not he must take it.

The Strenuous Life

FTOTl tle fopuidE ud8dNhho
 Rear Admiral F. H. c. Lautze. who has been transferred from Washington to the navy yard at New York. gets up at o'clock in the morning to make his round of inspection. One night, when he was at the Washington yard as com mandant, he gave a supper following a dance. and the next morning overslept himself, arising at seven o'clock. Such a dereliction in duty almost broke his heart, from which 1t may be inferred that the admiral likes to work hard and expects everybody to do the same.
 Later in the day he was on his way to one of the shops in the yard when he saw two laborers sitting on a fence, taking life easy. He halted in front of them with the remark:
 Pleasant weather today"
 The two loafers saluted respectfully very respectfully.
 working today" he inquired.
 They said they were. He walked a little beyond them, and stood perfectly still with his back toward them. After several embarrassing minutes, the two laborers shuffled off the fence, and pick ing up a heavy. rusty iron beam which happened to be lying on the ground near them, went down one of the streets be- t, cn the shops and turned the corner A few minutes later the admiral ap- peared round the corner, and stood still. The laborers picked up the beam and proceeded on their aimless way, again turning the nearest corner. But they could not escape, for Leutze was on their trail. He kept up the performance of following them round the corners un- til he had seen them carry that heavy beam all over the yard, which covers

DECREE IN CASE OF
 ILLINOIS CENTRAL Property of Memphis Gar Com pany Is Taken Over ALL CLAIMS SETTLED Prominent Former Officials of Illinois Central Are Named in the Decree
 Which Disposes of the Car
 Company's Plant

Memphis, Tenn, August 1.-The News Scimitar today prints the following: l Disclosures of a most sensational na- 1 ture involving high former officials of the Illinois Central railroad in the con- spiracy by which the Memphis Car com pany defrauded the railroad of hundreds of thousands of dollars were made today when a decree was entered in Chancel- Tor Heiskell's court. By this decree every dollars worth of property in the Mem phis Car companys plant and a sum in cash, will be turned over to the Illinois Central railroad. Deeds were filed with the entering of the decree.
 Prosecutions will immediately begin among those former officials implicated the Tennessee courts It is known the Illinois Central refused large sums in a settlement to ivcur immunity, declaring the road would rather lose the millions of which 1t had been defrauded than to have the officials who had been parties to the fraud escape punishment.
 Two of the officials, it is set forth have Attdi hcu iO titt liililOiS 0tulIdl In6 amounts received by them as dividends. These are H. McCourt and w. S. King, each of whom made voluntary restitution of s1s,oo0 in cash.
 One of the stockholders is dead, Ira M. Rawn, formerly vice president of the Illinois Central in charge of operations. Later after he had become president of the Monon Railroad company, he met violent death in his palatial home in Chi cago and the coroner's verdict was that he died by his own hand. The other stockholders mentioned in the decree de- side E. H. Ward and H. c. Osterman and their official positions at the time of the issuance of the stock were:
 Frank B. Hartman, general manager of the Illinois Central
 Hugh McCourt, general superintendent of the southern lines of the Illinois Gen. tral.
 w. S. King, general superintendent of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad. operating also the Memphis terminals Of the the Illinois Central
 William Renshaw, until May l, 1908, su- perintendent of Machinery having charge of the repair of equipment.
 Joseph E. Baker. assistant superinten- dent of machinery.
 John M. Taylor. general storekeeper, Burnside shops, Chicago.
 Renshaw is said to be in France, but as soon as a true bih is secured, efforts will be made to bring him back.
 Under the terms of the compromise the Illinois Central takes over absolutely all the possessions of the car companies and obtains other satisfaction in the way of cash, 1t was stated late tonight. The Hl~-- was not confirmed tonight as represent ing the profits of the outlawed padding of payrolls carried over as a deficit
 The Illinois Central as a total gets over s2oo,0oo in company realty of s50,0o0 and this does not include the car company plant. Claims for repairs aggregating over $T0oo were put into the agreement.

EACH FINGER HAS MEANING
Chicago Professor Tells Charaster of

St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 Every finger has meaning of its own, always the same and always recogniz- able even though not always noticed. The first of the political demagogue and the curling little finger of milady at o'clock tea are equally full of significance. according to a lecture given recently at the University of Chicago by Frederick Mason Blanchard. associate professor in the university The meaning of fingers was explained more fully today by pro- lessor Blanchard.
 The use of the different fingers in ges- lures Is of the greatest importance" he said. "The voice of a speaker may be llSened to the solo of a singer, and the gestures may be taken to represent the accompaniment. It is a well estab- lished psychological fact that the use of the index finger is for pointing out one thing in particular. If a speaker men, tions, for instance. the Mississippi valley with a gesture that shows only this finger he falls short of the full meaning He should use the open hand.

There may be an objection made that the placing of the rings on this finger Is merely a cus- tom, but even if that is so, there Is some reason for the origin 1.-the custom. The reason here. I believe is wholly psychol- ogical. The third finger Is the finger of affection and must always remain so.
 T can see the character of an unin- structed student by the way he holds his fingers. If he gestures naturally with the thumb and index and second fingers to- gether, l know that he Is forceful per son. If he lets his thumb fall within the palm of the hand I can see that he is not insistent"
