Street Car Novelties.

New Orleans Item:
We are living in an age of remark
able street railway development. Pay
as-you-enter cars have sprung up
with mushroom rapidity all over the
country, and have become popular
New York sprang another surprise
on the public by introducing the
stepless car with it's conductor snug
iy ensconced like a clerk at desk,
politely relieving the passengers of
their fares as they come easily and
without effort on board. Long before
this type of car has been tried out
in other cities along comes a third
novelty in the shape of a ''pay-as=
you-leaven car.
Cleveland has the distinction Of be
ing its birthplace, So far, We believe,
only one car has been built, but it
has given satisfaction and solved SO
many perplexins problems for the
Cleveland traction officials that
others are to be put in operation.
Almost every custom OF street car
riding is reversed in this car. They
are customs, however, that Should
be eliminated, and a step in the right
direction TO extend comforts to the
riding public and safeguard human
lives.
Passengers enter by the front plat
form, and leave it by the back. No
fare is paid until the passenger
leaves the car. There he is met by
the conductor with fare box and a
machine stamp to put the time limit
on transfers. Those Of us who have
suffered the discomforts and dangers
of hanging onto the back platform Of
a moving pay-as- you-enter car while
giving our fare and receiving d trans
fer can readily appreciate this limo
vation.
Another convenience for the
public in this car is a megaphoDe
fixed overhead IN the body of the car,
with speaking. attachment TO the
motorman. This enables him to an
nounce approaching streets and trans
fer points. Such an inexpensive de-
vice should find favor everywhere.

should be long enough to trail down
well behind the bags and catch all
Of the poison before it can be car
ried away by the wind. 1t is very
important that the poison be forced
down into the bud III order to catch
the worms which feed there. Where
worms are found abundant on grass
near fields of corn, the grass on the
borders of the field should be well
busted with the Paris green-llme
mixture in order to poison the worms
as they migrate from the grass to
| the corn.
| With the abundance Of worms now
present, it may be predicted that
large numbers Of moths will emerge
| in time to fly into the areas which
have been overlooked this season
and infest the late planted corn OF
those localities. The overflow has
destroyed, or driven away, practically
all the natural enemies, and, there
fore, we may expect to see the army
worm abundant before these friends
of the farmer can return in sufficient
numbers to control the situation. I'm
/ der these circumstances, it will be
advisable for the planters in the over
/ flowed districts to procure supply
/ of Paris green or powdered arsenate
/ Of lead and be prepared to combat
this pest.
The number of applications of poi
SON which should be made will de-
pend to al considerable extent on
weather conditions. If rain should
occur soon after the application was
made, it might probably be necessary

/ AS a general rule, insects which de

these insecticides may be used fo1

a novelty. Most of the advertising
of churches is still done by means of
programs and weekly publications
and posters. These are all good be-
cause they are reminders. The reader
ads of the newspapers are better
than these, but they are not nearly
as effective as display advertising.
In the last instance there is chance
to use different sizes of type and
thus to attract the attention of the
reader. Then the other is too COM
mon, and is so punched up with the
announcements of other churches
that no one ad stands out above
the rest.
Many of the churches of the large
cities have their press agents or pub
licity men whose duty is to look af-
ter the advertising of the church
meetings. This is one of the rea-
sons why display advertising of
churches is coming. Preachers and
church directors get the best results
they must use the means that will
command tho most attention All
great evangelists are using this
kind of advertising, and when the
time comes that all churches shall
use more display advertising they
will draw larger crowds and be ben
efiten in much the same way as busi-
ness houses. If publicity helps the
one, then it is logical to expect that
it will help the other.

FORTY DAYS OFF FASTING.

Our heartfelt sympathy is extend
ed to the University girls who have
fore sworn candy during Lent. Forty
days without candy may not seem
like such a dreadful punishment for
some, but for a girl who has been
used to munching chocolates every
time her beau calls, at the theater,
at musicals at parties, this is no
mild form of self denial.
The story goes that one Univer-
sity man has sworn off eating water
melon during Lent. Evidently he
has not the calm courage of his con-
victions such as is shown by the Co.
eds. Should a man foreswear his
pipe, or cigarettes, or his boarding
house pie; should he make and keep
resolution to meet punctually all
of his s o'clock classes; should he
resolve to always keep his temper,
to speak kindly to his enemies, to
say nice things behind his profess
sor's back, then there should be no
occasion to believe that man is less
faithful to a stern duty than is wo-
men. The women did not "give up"
trolley rides, or fresh strawberries
or boat riding on the lake. They re-
solved to forego real and present
pleasures.
So here's to the Varsity girls who
gave up candy during Lent. May
the days pass swiftly and may they
receive a barrel of chocolates when
the forty days have passed.

The Evolution of John Henry

they only said something to him
about Eata Hunka Pie and he
thought they must want Some from
his Lunch-BOX.
The next thing John Henry knew
he was in clearinghouse and had
a Room Mate whom he was IneXpres-
sibly Shocked to find Smoking
Pipe. John Hennery Prayed for him
that Night. Also he saw that there
were Several Pictures of Girls on the
Wall. and one or two of them looked
like they might be Actresses but John
didn't look any Further to see.
For two weeks John Hennery's life
was One Unfortunate Thing after
Another. He tried to live Life of
Moral Rectitude and be Guide to
Heaven to those about him. But
they didn't Guide well. They Inad
vertently spoiled his Sunday Suit on
a Little Picnic where they Tried to
Teach him to Swim in Mud. Then
they Helped him buy New One for
which they paid $35. Upon which
John Hennery told his first False
hood when he wrote Home for Money
for More Books. They took him Rid
ing in a Gasoline Wagon that went
lots Faster than his Plow Horse
Back Home. and they Taught him to
look upon the Wine when it was Red.
telling him that it was Soda Pop.
John Hennery began to see as he
had never seen before the Exact
Meaning of BrOtherly Love, for they
took Great Pains to point out to him
All the Pitfalls of Life so that he
might Go Therein and Reform the
Fallen Sinners. They introduced
him to some Girls who Danced in a
Show and he Undertook their Con-
versation. They all promised him to
be Good if he would Help them. So
he did. Also he found out that when
the Bible said he was his Brothers
Keeper it Knew what it was Talking
about, for he Kept most of his Frat
Brothers on the Money he Lost trying
to Show them the Folly of Poker
Bye and Bye John Hennery's Paw
began to Think that he would just as
soon Hen would Not be a Sunday
School Superintendent if it Always
Cost that Much. But John Hennery
said when he wrote Home that he
was More Determined than Ever

THE WOMEN IN JOURNALISM.

Owing to rule of Columbia Uni
versity, New York, which excludes
women from every department of
that school, only men will be admit
ted to the new Pulitzer School of
Journalim when it opens next fall.
There is scarcely profession
these days in which women have not
successfully endeavored to fill a
place. In Journalism women have
proved not only their ability to COM
pete with men in certain lines of
work but their real value to the pro-
fession. Women are doing work in
journalism that would be difficult for
men to do properly and their pres
ence in the profession has not tended
to disturb the salaries paid.
1t is admitted that there is not
the same need in the East for coed
ucational schools that exists in the
West, for ample provision is made
for the education of women in the
arts and science. AS to the profess
sional schools, particularly in jour-
naliSm which has hut recently heen
added to the list recognized by ed
ucators, there has not been the same
impartial provision. Women should
have an opportunity to compete in
any profession with the same train
ing and the same equipment as men.

This is an age in which the people
have constantly to be reminded of
what is going on. Hence the adver-

churches are being forced to use ad-

competing so strongly with them.

~ nee upon time there was a
II Nice Boy named John Henry
~ DeCourtney Brown, who

lived on a Farm Three Miles
from the Public Square of Gumpville.
Most People didn't put the DeCourt-
ney in his Name because they didn't
know just how to Pronounce it. So
they called him Hen Braown. Just
like that-BraOwn. But his Mother
always Called him DeCourtney in the
Secret Recesses of her Bosom. She
had been Reading "GwendOlyn, or
The Stolen Bride" just before John
Hennery was christened, and the
Hero in il, whose Name was DeCOurt-
ney. impressed her Particularly be-
cause he Pressed the Heroine to HIS
Manly Breast Sixteen Times in the
Last Chapter. Mrs. Brown weighed
two hundred pounds and had the
General Contour of Bundle of
Three Weeks Wash. She had never
been Pressed to Anybody's Manly
Breast and she Thought it Must be
Nice.
John Hennery's Father was a
Plain and Righteous Man. He said
so Himself. But his Neighbors call
ed him that Rich Old Skinfiint. He
was Fond of Saying that he had
Earned all he Owned by the Sweat
of his Brow. He had Evidently Per-
spired Freely then.
John Hennery went through the
Gumpville High School without ever
discovering what a Wicked World
this is. He had Never permitted
Himself to Gaze upon that IniquitOus
Thing, a Girl. His Nav had told
! him not to. Cigarettes and Stiff Col
lars he considered an Abomination of
the Lord. He always Rode right
Home after School on a Plow-hOrse
that was Excused from Duty for the
Purpose.
After John Hennery graduated
from the High School he decided that
he wanted to go to College in order
to be Better Sunday-School Super
tendent when he grew up. So his
Nav gave him an Extra Careful
Haircut and took his Sunday Suit
out of CamphOr. AS it was still big
enough for Him, since it reached his
Wrists and Ankles, his Paw gener-
Ously told him he could wear it for
Every Day. John Hennery took a
Last Look at his FavOrite Cow that
he had Raised from a Calf; fed the
Chickens for the last time and
in the Ribs. Then he Left with a
Large Wet Spot which his Nav had
Wept on the Front of his coat. some
Lunch in a Shoe-BOX, and Plenty of
Advice to be Good Boy and go to
Sunday-School every Sunday.
Upon his Arrival at his Destina-
tion he was met at the Station by a
Bunch of Fellows. He didn't know
they were that, though. He thought
they We're just a Crowd of Boys. They
Extended the Glad Hand to him just
as if he were Rich Aunt with one
foot in the Grave. John Hennery
shrank back as his Fathers Last
Words about Gold Bricks flashed
Through his Mind. His hand Clutched
the Spot where his Mother had
Pinned 81 to the inside of his Shirt,
and he Hurriedly Swallowed for fear
he would Expectorate it out. But
