There will be loud applause to the
sentiment expressed by DR.. Loveland
that it is of more Importance for girl
to know how to make a biscuit, than
It is for her to be able to translate a
sentence of Virgil. 1t is also well
within the truth to remark that some
of the biscuits made by some girls are
as heavy and dead as the language in
which Virgil is written.

MAKING GOOD.

A German farmer was telling in
simple, precise language the story of
his early struggles in this country. He
came here without cent. having
walked good part of the way. He
went to work at the carpenter trade
and saved his money. Finally his
mother died and Philip PreSiach told
him 1t would never do for a German
not to give decent burial TO his mother.
So Mr.. Presiach stood good for his
took in washings to pay the family
expenses while the man paid the burial
bill Both man and wife saved. Final
ly they were 5000 ahead. They did
not like to pay rent, so bought a
house, paying $500 in cash and go
ing into debt for the balance, $3.50.
After few years the house was trad
ed for 7o-acre farm. That was the
tenor of the story. Year by year the
man and his wife worked and saved.
They won out because they were in
dustrious and frugal This man had
no complaint to make. He had worked
hard, but he had money for his work.
He had seen hard times. but he was
always saving. He had not made
good fortune as fortunes go in these
days, but he made a good living for
himself and family, and in his last
days he was comfortably fixed 1t is
these cases that show the real vitality
OF the life in America. This German
came here without a cent and he has
made good. That is success worth
while.-Lawrence Journal-World
THE IDLE RICH DON'T COUNT.
We don't belong to the crowd that
envies the idle rich. We rather pity
the idle rich. They lead such a useless
and rapid life and pass to the great
beyond without having accomplished
anything worthy or commendable.
Give us the Industrious man, though
ne be poor, who raises and educates
family of respectable and worthy chill
dren, and who labors for the uplift and
betterment of his fellow man. He is
the buIwark of the country and in
him the future safety of our nation
rests.-Scranton Gazette.

THE IDLE RICH DON'T COUNT.
FROM OTHER PENS
A LONGEVITY RECORD.

At the age of 1913 John Shell, ST.,
of Leslie county, has recently taken
his second ride on railway train.
This may strike the average citizen
as something wonderful, but there
are no railroads In Leslie county, and
for the greater part of his long life
Mr.. Shell has lived IS miles from
railway station. Five years ago he
took a trip to Crab Orchard and first
enjoyed the novelty of railroad travel.
Since the building of the Wasioto and
Black Mountain railroad Mr.. Shell is
somewhat more conveniently situated
for travel and the other day he went
over to London to attend federal
court. The newspapers along the road
found him out and have been giving
some interesting facts about his his
tory.
From all accounts Mr.. Shell is
about the Invest and liveliest centena-
rian now running at large. He is
miller by trade and for more years
than he remem bers he has been oper-
ating an old fashioned watermill on
Laurel fork of Greasy creek He
still grinds corn for large patron
age. He is said to be as vigorous as
the average man of 20. He does not
use eyeglasses and he walks without
the aid of a cane He enjoys squirrel
hunting and says he "can still kill
one of them at almost every shot"
with his old-time rifle. His hearing
is q little dull, but otherwise he is
just about as good as new.-Louisville

PROTECT THE LOBSTER.


The present prices charged for lob
sters and the threat of a famine in
those succulent shell fish have at least
served to remind US of the important
part played in metropolitan life by the
cardinal of the sea-" as Victor Hugo,
who had known it only in its cooked
state, once described it. 1t is in this
state, too, bright with the ruddy tints
of the pot, that it has won enduring
fame, whether fresh from the ice box
or sizzling hot upon the plate. To its
eternal honor and glory many costly
Broadway palace has been dedicated;
in it's preparation innumerable chefs
have taxed the resources of minds rich
in culinary lore. The names of the
artists to whom We owe so much gas
tronomic delight have passed into OBJ
livion, but the creations of their genius
will perish only with the last of the
crustaceans. Conferred about the lob
ster are many of the choicest tradi-
lions of the merry life of the town.
It's appeal to the palate is irresistible.
A vast and gluttonous army demands
that special laws shall protect it and
stimulate its increase. In slangy
sense the word lobster has another
significance, meaning human type
which needs no protection save from
the results of its own folly, and this
variety of lobster is of far greater i'm
portance to many of the sleek indus
tries of the town than the other, and is
much less likely to be exterminated.-
