When a woman falls she falls from
Q great height, and it is difficult to
get up again. ;,
Years ago a beautiful girl was q
clerk in her fathers grocery at Osh.
kosh, Wis. Her beauty attracted q
Milwaukee millionaire, an honorable
man. who married her.
She. had a beautiful home, leisure
all too much leisure luxury and the
things that money will buy.
But she was dissatisfied. She said
there was not enough life" In Nil
waukee. She preferred Chicago. Hel
indulgent husband provided her with
funds and permitted her to spend most
Of her time in the larger city.
In Chicago she got into bad hands
She descended from gayety into crime.
One day Milwaukee and Chicagt
were both startled to hear that the
wife Of the millionaire, who had been
under the eyes Of the police, had
stolen q lot OF diamonds. She con-
fessed. 1 s.s-'sss-
The woman had gone down the
swift, smooth decline to the bottom.
Her husband got divorce. and she
was sent to the penitentiary for two
years. II have learned my lesson"
said she as she came out Of the prison
doors.
She was mistaken.
Joining the Volunteers Of America.
she made an effort at honest labor. but
in few weeks was back in the old
circles. Her latest crime was the rob.
berry of wealthy broker.
Now, what is the lesson?
Suppose this girl had married q Door
man and had faced deprivation and
the struggle to bring up family. It
Is likely she would have been a better
behaved. a happier woman.
Not every one is equipped to 'stand
prosperity" Often the burdens Of life
are blessing ia disguise.
Duty is stern master. but a kind

carry may be the ballast you need to

poise in her moving figure!
It Is the load.

RULE Of THE ROAD.

A.. Here by the Gun.

Decided Abroad by the Sword and
i. Here by the Gun.
Several travellers were seated in the
hotel lobby discussing the difference
in customs of the various countries
they had visited. What struck me
as most peculiar abroad said one,
"is the custom of keeping to the left
instead of the right, as we do here.
Why is the rule reversed"
II think can explain that" said a
reserved looking man in the corner.
"In medieval and later periods abroad
men were in the. custom Of wearing
swords. The sword was worn, as it is
now, on the left, side. Consequently
in drawing their weapon it was done
with the right hand, and to get quick
.ly upon guard a man, had to have his
right side to his opponent; hence the
custom of keeping Otthe left.
! Elm. America when every man carried
his life in his hand on account Of saw
age, Indians all men carried guns. The
Easiest and most natural way to carry
q gun, either afOot or mounted, is over
the left arm with the muzZle pointed
outward, and it takes but very slight
movement to throw the butt against
the right shoulder. For that reason
the early settlers kept to the right of
the road so their weapon could in
stantly be brought to bear on any
mark that, was necessary."-Philadel-

Iii, doubtful If our Aryan ancestors
when they were planting the seed OF
the English and its sister languages
thought of the scientific relations Of
what we call heat and cold. but they
gave to us. the root 'prus," which they
got out Of the sensations produced by
burning and freezing. As usual, AryaE
roots beginning with the ''p'' sound
change it to "f'' on the tongues Of
the Teuton; so with these our more
modern ancestors ''prus'' became
'frus,'' and from it came our freeze
and frost" Again, as is usual, ou,
Hindu brother in his Sanskrit usually
preserves the Aryan "p" sound, so he
has from this root "prush," meaning
to burn.
This root of freeze became "freosan"
in Anglo-Saxon. which is our Frozen

Swedish "frysa" and in Danish
"fryse." In the Latin the original ''p"

the only variety smoked in this coun-

pipe made it's appearance in England
in the later years of the sixteenth CEN

English invented the pipes Of baked
clay which are now used everywhere"
