0ra.rl;ness Is Bio Asset.

To teach children habits Of neatness,
system and order Is to insure some de-
gree, at least. Of success. Yet they
are often brought up amid disorder
and confusion, allowed to throw things
down Just where they use them and to
form slovenly and slipshod habits.
They are not taught to put things
where they belong, and consequently
they grow up shackled with hand-
caps which they can rarely throw OH.
IF there Is any delusion In the world
it is that doing things just for now"
dropping things wherever one may
happen to be temporarily, saves time.
On the contrary, this IS great time
waster and a great demoralizer OF
character. i bad habit not only tends
to repeat itself, but to increase the
tendency in that direction.
II you were not taught the beauh-
full lesson Of orderliness in your youth,
teach 1t to yourself now.-Success Mag

that ice was still in existence when

ice, once immersed In salt sea that

twenty-eight degrees, cannot very well

the long endurance Of what in our
climate would have lasted perhaps but

Of which he would understand until it

CaoitaIs We Have Had.

1t is asserted sometimes that the
United States has had Eve capitals,
but the statement is not correct. The
United States has had but three cap
itals-New York, Philadelphia and
Washington In the period preceding
the adoption of the constitution no
place was legally constituted I capital.
In a loose and unofficial sense it is pos
sible to describe as capital any city
which was the seat Of government.
Taking the sessions Of the Continental
congress as establishing seat Of gov
ernment in the Revolution and the
confederation, the following cities
may loosely rank as capitals: Phila'
delphia, Baltimore, Lancaster, York,
Princeton, Annapolis, Trenton and
New York. The articles Of confedera-
ton were passed by congress in Fhil-
adelphia, and the federal convention
charged to prepare constitution con-
vened at the same place.

4 woman of Louisville, ky., who en-
joys q game of cards, recently visited
a friend in indianapolis. Sunday
morning came, and the hostess invited
her visitor to accompany her to Sun
day school. 1t is the practice Of the
teacher Of the Bible class Of which the
hostess is & member to ask each mem
Der Of the class to read o verse from
the Bible and comment on It, The
visitor from Louisville had not been
informed Of the teachers custom
However, the teacher seemed to think
that visitors as well as regular mem

member next to the visitor had read
her verse and made her comment the
teacher smilingly looked toward the
visitor. The visitor appeared to be

Duelina.


It is generally agreed that dueling
took it's rise from the judicial combats
Of the Celtic nations. The first formal
duel in England was that between Will
liam Count Of Eu and Godfrey Bay
nard about the year 1905. Dueling
was at its height in France about
1900, though it was pretty popular as
late as 1928, in which year Francis
/. sent q challenge to Charles V. In
England dueling was checked in the
army in 1892 and gradually disappear
ed from civil life with the coming Of
more enlightened public opinion. Duel
ing was never as popular in this coun-
try as it was in Europe, but never
theless many famous duels have been
fought here. The code may be said
to have received its death sentence
when Burr killed Hamilton. The de-
cline after that was steady until 1t
practically died out.-New York Amer

Chances IN Word Meanings

Many common words have once had
{, meaning very different from the
one we now give them. Silly once
meant blessed Thou silly babe" the
poet writes. Fond" meant foolish.
\ fond father" was a foolish father.
Milton writes.
Doth God exact day labor, light denied?
I fondiy ask,
meaning II foolishly ask" a "pas.
senger'' was one who was passing
along the highways-a foot traveller.
Now it means one carried by public
conveyance 4 journey meant q days
travel.
You'd think twas a journey to
Twickenham town" Now a journey
may mean 4 trip across continents or
around the world.
Rather" is the comparative form Of
nm old word, "rathe," meaning early,
"The rathe primrose"
Now we have made it mean some
what" and we have lost the first mean-
ing entirely when we say, "You are
rather late."-McCalrs Magazine.

In a town Of such size that every

There were three pigs in a poke.
The overcrowding was scandalous.
Each accounted for the evil in q diff
ferent manner.
The first pig said, "The overcrowding
is terrible; it is because we are in
poke"
The second pig said, This over
crowding is disastrous; it is because
we are pigs
The third pig spoke as follows: The
overcrowding is undoubtedly appalling,
but you are both mistaken as to the
conditions that have caused 1t. 1t is
not due to our being in poke; neither
is it due to our being pigs. The evil
Is the direct and inevitable outcome OF
certain spasmodic variations in the
law Of economic utility"
The other two pigs were much I'M
pressed and without more ado elected
the third pig leader among them
Still the overcrowding remained as
bad as ever.-Life.

"The persistency with which children

the one which 1t Is intended that they

 Feared Federal Interference.
International News Special

, International News Special Washington, Feb. 2S.-'The fight will go on.'' This is the message to the American people from those determined statesmen who after a gallant battle saw the resolution for popular election of United States Senators go down to defeat in the Senate this morning, lacking only :our tes of 'ne necessary twa- thirds majority that would have meant victory The "yeas" were fifty
 four and the '.nays'' were thirty three.
 The fear of the South that Feder- al interference in her elections was threatened i'm the Sutherland amend ment to the resolution, which was di- rectly responsible for the reverse. But for that, the malndment would have carried. It voted solidly against the reform and for the moment triumph ed. This striking feature is to be recorded in connection with the re. sult
 The truce which made possible the vote on popular election on senators today made practically certain the seating tomorrow of William E. Lori mer, whose election by the Illinois Legislature has been challenged on the ground of corrupt practices.
 The fight will go on. Senator Borah announced that lhis resolution providing for the amendment to the constitution to make direct election possible will be reinforced as soon as the new Congress convenes. Am ex- tra session is practically certain wherefore Senator Borah, immediate ly upon the assembling of the Con- gress, will start the resolution once more on it's passage through the Senate.
