mittens on his hands to prevent him

Capt. Archibald W. Butt, the presl-

a Missionary Tree

a missionary, during Lenten tea,
said, pointedly:
u have established missionary trees
all over the country. But perhaps YOU
don't know what3a missionary tree IS!
A missionary tree is one whose proht
goes entirely to missions.
"a Roxborough farmer has in his ap-
pie orchard a golden spippin tree that
helps to support the Chinese mission.
A Florida woman has an orange tree
that helps to. uplift the cann1bais OF
New Guinea. A California nut farmer

SAVED BY HIS sUsPENDERs

Pietro Figure had lucky escape
from a revolver bullet at New York
some days ago. He wears very large,
heavy metal buckles on his suspend
ers. So when he had an argument
with another italian in front OF MS
home, and his assailant blazed away
at him, the bullet hit the buckle di-
rectly over his heart and fiattened it
self.
The buckle was driven into his side
causing a small abrasion.

Why Lost
My Job
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me Can
not Satisfy Their Employers.

81 believe my fate is not unlike that
of thousands of other workers who
daily lose their places for reasons they
do not know, and probably would not
believe. When their last pay envel-
ope comes along, il is usually, Y Your
services are no longer required If the
truth were known, the reason for their
unceremonious removal would probab-
ly be that their usefulness was de-
stroyed because of some mental worry,
bodily ailment or genera; indisposition.
These things, as we all know, are the
most fruitful causes of failure in all
wa ks of life. The battle of Waterloo
was lost because of a headache. In
| this quick age our minds must be
clear, rapid, active and free from out
side influence of worry, or else we go
down to failure with the throng of
"hoaters'' who go from one place of
employment to another, giving no sat
| isfaction to others or to themselves,
constantly growing older and less use
| full, with no ambition, no will power,
| and no hope.
Every man requires from every 9TH
er man the best that is in him. But
no man can use or get the best that
| is in himself until he is first free from
all fretful indisposftions and worries.
That was my trouble. I was full of
| troubles. That's why 1 lost my job.
My stomach in the first place was al
ways out of order, and l wa worrying
anu my I1lnC grew ClOuOy
and slow. I made mistakes, and
grew grouchy. That was the end.
There are thousands like me. going
about with quick lunch faces, dys-
peptic manners, and repulsive atmos-
pheres. No employer wants such men S
services
Take my advice. A healthy stomach
| is half the battle, for it keeps your
mind clear, and your face rosy. have

D1erba- Tunis, Oct. 4.-Tripoli has
been bonnbarded twice by the Italian
fleet. The first shot was fired yester-
day afternoon and the shelling was re-
sumed early this morning after a quiet
night. It was a steady and slow fire
from the warships until dusk last
night. Shots also came from the forts
In town.
The French steamer Tafans took a
delegation from Djerba to the scene
OF hostilities, but the steamer was
stopped ten miles from Tr1poli by
boat from the cruiser Varese. Mem
bers Of the party, however, could see
the operations. The battleship Bene-
detto Brin and the cruisers Giuseppe
Gartbaldf and Francesca FeTTtcto drew
UP in a line or the harbor. There was
no sign Of life in the city, but the
Turkish flag flew from the castle and
forts.
The first shots were directed towards
Charchatti fort and later Kerkereche
fort was shelled. AS the first shells
burst over Tripoli the garrison seemed
to awake and returned the fire with
cannonade by both sides for few
minutes. but so far as seen no warship
was hit
At O'Clock today the firing ceased
by the Italians to permit the town to
surrender, but no sign was given ana
after a. few minutes the ships began
again. This time great havoc was
wrought. The Notifications were razed,
the forts suffered severely and the
lighthouse was destroyed. There Is no
means OF knowing the loss Of life In
Trfpoli. When the Tafana left the
scene no landing had been made by
the Italians
This morning the first division Of
the italian fleet resumed the bonn
bardment, the Turkish garrison re-
spending The governors palace and
three forts are in ruins, but the con-
Bulates and churches are not damaged.
The second division approached
close to Bengazi and Derna and the

derstood, Is ordered to begin tomor-
row.
