TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS
Moral That Writer Has Drawn Is
Not Without Some Points Of
Worthiness.

Miss Venus is lovely girl; not
one time has she muttered, against
her pale, illumined life not one word
has she uttered. Just think, she's
been without her arms for many dusty
ages, and yet she never drops the
brine or rants In hopeless RACES. She
has to stand bunch of CUFF from Art
bugs down to draymen, and yet she
never once comes back and grills the
heather layman. When some low,
brow of brutal mien starts merrily to
panning and says her face Is worse
than wood and that her hair needs
canning or that he has waitress
friend who jerks coffee jigger could
give her many, many leagues and beat
her out on figger, she never even
looks at him, that rank untutored sim
ner, but holds her tongue and pedes.
tai; O, Venus is winner. She's on
the job both day and night, she hears
man knock or fiatter and women not
of classic mold get madden than a
halter. She suffers long and quietly
with calm and placid manner, In cold
no mits to reach a quilt, In heat, no
hands fan her. She is a lesson In
herself-a fruit for daily picking. Just
spare the world your trouble tales and
scratch the useless kicking.-G. S., In

INSANE MAN ATTEMPTS TO AS
SAsslNATE FRENCH PREMIER
IN CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
Fires Two Shots From the Public Gal.
iery, Wounds a Government Of
fetal and Causes Panic, But the
Premier Escapes Unscathed.

Paris.-The chamber of deputies
was thrown into a panic Tuesday by
an attempt on the life of Premier
BRAND. Two revolver shots were fired
at the ministerial bench from the pub.
lie gallery, but the premier was I'M
harmed. One of the bullets entered
the leg of Leon Mirman, director of
the department of public assistance in
the ministry of the interior. The
wound is not serious.
The assailant is a man named Gis
dime, who was formerly clerk Of the
courts Of Bayonne. He was pounced
upon by the police before he could
use his weapon again and was hur-
ried from the place. M. BRAND was
quickly surrounded by others of the
ministry and by the deputies and
heartily congratulated on his escape
from death.
Gisolme is well known to the police,
having been but recently liberated
from an insane asylum, in which he
had been kept following an unsuccess-
full attempt on the life of the British
consul at st. Sebastian.
This is the second recent assault
upon the premier.

The Shadow of Science.

1t Is hard to believe that shadow
is probably the origin of all astrono-
mical, geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear in
the sand and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. 1t is
from the shadow Of gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
OF the year. 1t Is from the shadow of
a gnomon that the inhabitants of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours of
work for water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is lhurra stalk support
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south, East and west are pegs
in the ground, evenly marking the
space of earth between sunrise and
sunset. In land of constant sun
shine a shadow was the primitive
chronometer 1t was also the prim-
tive foot rule.

SKIN TORTURED BABIES
SLEEP AND MOTHERS REST

A warm bath with Cuticura Soap,
followed by a gentle amounting with
Cuticura ointment, is generally sufil-
cient to afford immediate comfort in
the most distressing forms of itching
burning and scaly eczemas, rashes, ir
ritations and inflammations of in
fants and children, permit sleep for
child and rest for parent, and point to
permanent relief, when other methods
fail. Peace falls upon distracted
households when these pure, sweet

treatment costs SO little and does so
much for skin sufferers, from infancy
to age. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.

4. In the pioneer era Mrs. Dearinger

merous children. She has never used

5. She wears glasses, but is able to
thread the smallest needle, and her
sight is regarded as remarkable con.
sidering her advanced age.
6. She has been extracting vast
amount of comfort from a pipe during
the past twenty years of her life.
Many years ago she developed lung
trouble. A physician advised the use
OF a pipe and the hemorrhages ceased.
She can't understand why people
should object to women smoking if
they want to.
1t required several months for her
to become accustomed to the use OF
tobacco, but now she takes great com.
fort in an old-fashioned clay pipe. She
and her family resided in Kentucky
during the Civil war, and she has al
ways been an ardent Unionist. Two
of her sons, James and John, enlisted
and served with credit. Her memory
is keen and she is fond OF recalling
the incidents of the pioneer era.

will be paying scant tribute to those
dear, good women who have laid down
their receipts and examples and pass
ed on to say so. And, of course, this
writer does not mean to do that, yet
he comes very near doing what he
does not intend.
The fallacy of the whole sentimen-
tai notion that because things and
people are not like they used to be
they are not as good lies in the pat
ent fact that they cannot be alike, and
II they were it would simply be be-
cause of the present generation being
so much inferior to the past that it
was unable to do no more than stand

Its appearance was for the purpose of

after a debate on military prepared
ness of the nation, the future of aero

OF $4,000 for the field artillery for
