GIVING THE PLUG HIS DUE
Steadysolng, Sensible Qualities Are
Not Always Accorded the Recog-
milton That They Deserve.

Don't make fun of the plug. He may
be slow and awkward and never get
to the stable until dark, but he Is the
fellow who In the end will bring home
the coin, says a Kansas City writer.
The plug horse that pulls the lister
all day in the field puts more money
in the bank for the honest farmer
than the race horse that goes out and
turns half in so fiat and then loafs
for two weeks waiting for another
race to be matched. The old plug
goes out in sunshine and storm and
pulls in few dollars every week, but
the race horse waits for the day when
the track is good and then generally
loses more than he wins. The steady
old plug keeps the wolf from the door.
while the race horse causes the mort
gage to be foreclosed.
Just so with the man. Pin your
faith to the plug who keeps eternally
at it; the fellow who gets up every
morning and does so much and Is
ready to do 1t again next day. He
lays up more shining dollars in the
bank than the swift sport who lies
around all summer waiting for luck
to come along and turn stream of
silver into his pocket. One cackling
Plymouth Rock hen Is worth a dozen
screaming eagles when 1t comes to
paying off the mortgage. The plug
is the fellow who steadies the ship
and acts as ballast when the boat be-
gins to rock. The plug Is the fellow
who lives contentedly and long and
when he passes away the local paper
says, "He leaves his family in COM
Portable circumstances"

BEST EXERCISE FOR WOMEN
Popularity Of Fencing Justified In Re-
suits That Follow Its Persistent
Practice.

Fencing is always popular with
women who have the leisure and the
opportunity to go through with the
required training, and lately 1t has be-
come even more the fashion with
women prominent in society. Even
during the summer, while they were
away at their country or seaside
homes, many women kept up their
fencing lessons, having the instruc-
tor come to their homes for the pur-
pose.
All experts in physical training rate
fencing as the best possible means of
exercise for women. 1t ranks with
swimming and rowing In that 1t gives
all the development needed without
making the muscles too heavy, as do
some OF the other sports. For the
woman OF today who longs above
everything else to be slender and sup
pie, 1t is the ideal exercise. Those
women who are so faithful to their
fencing lessons have discovered that
a brisk half hour with the foils is
more effective in keeping their fig.
ures girlishly 1.-THE and slender than
a half day spent at heavier and less
graceful forms OF exercise.

MADE HIM GOOD AMERICAN
Act Of Wise Father That Kept His
Boy in the Path Of His
Birth and Duty.

IL Is claiming rather great deal to
say that child's whole future career
may depend upon the hearing of a
story! But. unQuestionably, it is true.
A boy l know, whose parents were
obliged to live in England during two
of his early years-from the time he
was eight until he was ten-said to
his father one day: Am ] an Eng
lishman, an American, or haven't I
any country at zip"
His father, loyal American, startled
at this question, read to the boy "a
Man Without a Country"
"You are an American" he told the
boy. Never forget that"
The boy, now man, is just about to
enter the United States army. Much
of his life has been passed in other
countries, but he is an American.

The Nutshell.

The residents of a certain suburb Of
Chicago were for a time governed by
passion for giving sweet, poetical
names to their estates" There was
one such man who built a handsome
villa, calling it "The Nutshell" Thus
was the home introduced to his
friends and 1t became widely known.
To the surprise OF all, therefore, the
name was one day suddenly changed
to Sylvan Nook" and flood of in
