NEGLECTED NeiahborhOOds.

You can find in almost any town a
neglected neighborhood." The easi-
est thing to do with such neighbor-
hood is to keep on neglecting 1t.
1t is so easy for us to study these
topics as If they were about other
places and people than ourselves and
our homes. Is there a neglected cor
ner in your town or in your county
If there is, what are you going to do
about it? Not what have you been
doing about it, or "What ought you
to do about it?" but "What are you
going to do about itY
If you can't get the committees in
terested do something yourself. Do
not be afraid.
The thing is to get started You see,
as soon as you have started something
the neighborhood is no longer neg
lected. And then it will be an easier
matter to get some one to come in and
help.--Christian Herald.

When Thanks Were Given.

Many years ago a noted chief Of the
tribe of Chippewa Indians while hunt
Ing wounded Il deer and followed 1t for
miles. The chase was long and very
severe, and the Indian was in the last
stages of exhaustion from fatigue and
lack of food and water when he found
himself on the top Of wonderful
mountain, at the foot Of which nestled
a beautiful lake crystal clear. From
the surface Of the lake trout leaped,
and upon the shore lay the deer he had
hunted. Here were food, water, fish
and fuel for cooking.
Raising his hand and facing the set
ting sun, tie exhausted chief exclaim-
ed, "Ish-pem-ing," which in the Chip
pewa tongue means heaven" or "the
place on high"
The story was remembered, and the
name given by the Indian was adopted
by the white settlers when the present
city Of Ishpeming, Mich, was formed.

No. If you are nagged you are not
alone in your experience. Nor are the
nagged persons of this age the only
nagged persons Of any age. Nagging
is an old custom. They tell us that
Adam, job Socrates, Aesop, Leonidas.
Machlavelli and many more distin-
guished historical personages were VIC
tins of nagging. This proves the an
tiqulty but not the wisdom or the
responsibility Of nagging, And If it
is as old as 1t is claimed to be let it
crawl away somewhere to die. For
come to think Of It, nagging is just
as hurtful to the nagger as 1t is to the
nagged. So why injure ourselves for
the purpose Of injurying some one else?

Remote orlaln of Alcohol.

No one knows when alcohol was first
made, 1t is commonly taught that it
was first distilled by the Arabians
about the tenth century, but there is
little doubt that they obtained the
secret from Italian doctors, who had
long been practicing 1t. Paul Rich
ter In the Berliner Klinische Wochen-
schrift shows that q knowledge Of
aqua ardens," or burning water"
may be traced as far back as the Sec
ond century A. ID. to a Christian father
named Hippolytus, who possessed a
recipe analogous to those handed about
during the middle ages.

Plans of the Federal League for
1914 should not be considered as the
usual winter league baseball chatter,
for the Feds have gone through one
season. Heretofore there has been
large talk each winter of an invasion
by some organization of major terri

withered the conversation.
Now the Feds are talking about go

The only obstacle in the way of the
Feds is too exalted ambitions. They
came through their first year in eX-

should not blind them to the troubles
that will beset them if they enter
New York and Philadelphia.
At best Philadelphia is not a good
