IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Biq Clock.

tuC Dl9
 The publicity campaign in behalf of the Young Mems Christian association building Is certainly handled by those who know their business" said an adver- tising man last night. "The placing of the big clock on the American Trust and Savings Bank building, with its hands indicating day and night the progress of the subscription movement, is a tell ing factor in arousing enthusiasm as the public dearly loves a race against time. The clock and it's position remind mo of similar advertising campaign by the American bank itself, which was car ried out with such phenomenal success as to cause me to regret that l have never written it up in the advertising journals as an example of modern bank publicity.
 ''The story, briefly. is this: In the early days of November in that year the bank announced that 1t intended to make a certain record as to deposits by January 1 and frankly called on its friends to assist in turning the neces- sary S250.O0O its way The response was immediate and the bank began issuing daily bulletins, showing the increase or deposits over the preceding day, which were read with as much interest by the public as any news feature in the pa pers in which they appeared. The re- suit was, money flowed in 50 steadily and in such large amounts that at the close of business on the eve of Thanks giving-about two weeks after the be- ginning of the campaign-the officers of the bank found they had crossed the line with over $so0oo to spare. Their unique Thanksgiving proclamation, is- sued the following day, will be recalled by many readers of The Age-Herald- hope the Y. M. c.

 The boom which is now due in this country will probably last for several years. Capital will pour into the Bir- mingham district and with it will come an influx of population. But while the new era of prosperity is starting up let the importance of immigration work be not underestimated.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

A man learns to write love letters try ing to get married, and forgets how by doing it.
 A man thinks he's a natural-born weather prophet when his wife made him put on his plooshes and it stormed.
 It's a great mistake to love a woman so much that you can't put on more steam about 1t when she's in the mood to say you don't at all.
 The more chances man with lot of money would have to use 1t in gaining honor, the more he'd rather keep the money and let somebody else have the honor.

ON KEEPING ONES TEMPER.
From Epictetus.

If you wish not to be of an angry temper, do not feed the habit; throw nothing on 1t which will increase it: at first keep quiet and count the days on which you have not been angry. used to be in passion every day; now every second day; then every third; then every fourth. But if you have intermitted so days, make sacrifice to God. For inc habit at first begins to be weakened. and then is completely destroyed when you can say. T have not been vexed today. nor the day before. nor yet on any succeeding day during two or three months but took care when some er- citing things happened"

JENNY LIND's MoDEsTY.
From Spare Moments.

It is not affection when one says to himself, 'T feel the power within me to do this thing but the self-reliance every one possesses who rises above the common average of mankind, and some times is coupled with . divine modesty. When Jenny Lind sang in the streets of San Francisco for charity's sake, her song, with it's enchanting power, swayed the hearts of the people. The faces of her hearers glowed as the unfolding of her beautiful spirit lifted their souls out of sorrow and selfishness And when they showered her with praise of her wonderful gift. she replied: "Isn't 1t nice can sing so7"

EnoIish Political Parties.

Much confusion of ideas seems to have arisen among many people over the names of the political parties engaged in the British elections" said F. I. Monks. ''but little explanation will make the question very clear.
 "Just as the republicans and the dem ocrts are the two main political parties in the United States. so in Great Britain the two main political parties are the lib- erals and the conservatives. Outside of and independent of both these are tho Irish nationalist party, the labor party, and the socialists. The nationalists, the laborites and the socialists are with the liberals in this election for special req sons of their own.
 "The party designated the unionists is really only another name for the con- servative party and owes its name to the action 1t took in opposing and defeat ing the home rule bill introduced by Gladstone in 1886. At that time Joseph Chamberlain was a member of the liberal party but when the division was taken on the second reading of that bill, Cham berlain and about 40 other liberals voted
 
 the dismemberment of the United King dom but as they voted against the party to which they belonged and with the party to which they did not belong they formed themselves into a new party and called themselves the liberal-unionists. Shortly thereafter the liberal-unionists went bodi- ly over to the conservatives and now the name unionist is only used to signify anti-home rule.
 Before the existence of the independ- ent parties, about 40 years ago, the lib- erals were called wings and the conserva- tives were called tories. These names did not have the same signifcation in Eng land as they had in the United States. but were rather used derisively of each other. The real difference between politi- cal parties in Great Britain is, the lib- eral is the party of progress and the conservative the party of 'stay-where- we-are." In Irish affairs, the liberals are home-rulers, the conservatives ar unionists."

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
LIFE,s LITTLE WAY.

LIFE'S LITTLE WAY. This life is but a little way A little walk, with sorrow And happiness on either hand, So what's the use to borrow From troubles ever-swelling store? We might as well keep smiling; There's nothing else will better serve The Journey for beguilding. And since tis such a little way This life of which I'm speaking What need Is there to waste it all In unproductive seeking For things not really worth pursuit, Unscrupulously scheming, When we might choose sunny road, Where kindliness is beaming? So, when Deaths sable inn is neared, Where countless guests are sleeping, And faithful friends have gathered round, Our bedside, softly weeping, There'll be no vain regrets to rob The clouds of silver lining. For in our hearts, through veal and woe, The sun was ever shining!

Coming Military Tournament.

q noticed the announcement of a mill itary tournament to be given next month for the benefit of the local military or ganizations," said retired line officer. T wish the movement every success. for there is no more important factor in the affairs of the state than a well organ ized and thoroughly equipped National Guard. Every member from the rawest recruit to the commanding officer is called upon to give of his time and often in the case of the officers of his means, and this frequently entails hardships and much inconvenience.
 "I am sorry to note there has been in the past lack of appreciation of the National Guard, whose members are the conservators of the peace and often the protectors of the home. The boys need encouragement and I hope that every one will lend a hand to make the oc- casion a great success, that they may learn that their patriotism Is appre- ciated."

KANSAS HAS TORNADO
Joplin, Weir City and Scammon
in Path of CI0udburSt.

A tornado and cloudburst hit the
mining section of southeastern Kansas
and did considerable damage to prop
erty between here and Joplin and
Weir City and Scammon. No serious
damage was done in Pittsburg, but at
Weir City dwelling houses were blown
down and scattered over the country
and store fronts were blown in. One
woman was killed and several injured
there. The damage, at Weir City is
estimated at about $4,000, Build
ings were blown down over at Scam
mon in Cherokee county, but no one
was injured.
A man was killed by the wind at
Galena, Kan. Interurban and railroad
traffic is badly crippled. The storm
did much damage around Joplin and
at Webb City and the Joplin mining
district will be idle today because of
the superstructure and buildings be-
ing lowered to the ground. The dam
age at Electric Park, Joplin, an amuse-
ment resort, amounts to $4,000. Mrs.
