Braced Up
By Walt Mason

In summer man, in languOr, drags on
his weary feet; and he is full of anger,
and prunes, and prickly heat; he
grumbles and he hollers; the heat melts
down his collars; he'd give a million dol
lars to see a storm of sleet. There's not
much sense in living when summer is on
deck; for then the sun is giving ealorie
by the peck; the days are hot as blazes,
at night the heat amazes, and sweating
mankind raises its voice and cries by
heek!" How lovely is the autumn! on
it there are no flies; or, if there are,
we swat 'em with glad exultant eriesl
We kick holes in the ceiling because we
are affecting like brindled heifers reel
ing through clover to their eyes. The
blood is eoursing freely through ancient
veins, gadzookl And sOOn-we think we're
really much younger than we look; like
sehOolboys we are racing, upon our
errands chasing; and we are seen en-
bracing the hired girl and the cook
October, bright October, you are the
month by iingl That man is dour and
sober who doesn't dance and singl The
summer months paraded and left US
worn and faded; you came when we were
faded. with healing in your wing!-

iatOr league. And one cold week Han
nibal took his army over the Alps and
fell upon the enemy with a crash that
has resounded through p centuries.
For hundreds of years afterward,
Roman mothers frightened their chill
dren into obedience by telling them Of
Hannibal. He was the greatest pest.
that had ever got loose in the empire.
For sixteen years he roamed about de-
vOuring armies, eating up crops, riding
over peach orchards with his elephants,
and making himself such nuisance that
Roman shares fell TO nothing. and gen
eral after general threw up his job and
retired in two or more pieces from public
lite. Finally Seipio, Roman who seems
to have been equipped with something
inside of his helmet, took command of
the Roman troops. Instead of bother
ing Hannibal he embarked and fell upon
Carthage. Hannibal then left Italy in
great haste and in due time was defeated
in his own country, and the Romans be-
gan going out nights again.
Hannibal did all his damage with about
10000 troops and a few elephants. It
seems incredible that he should have
mussed up Rome for years with this
force-until we remember what George
Washington did with his barefooted
crowd.-Copyrighted by George Matthew

The Famous Prose Poet.

Things have come to such a pass in
this age Of swift chariots that the pc
destrian is regarded as a blot upon
our civilization. The consensus of opin-
ion seems to be that he ought TO be
abrOgated. He has no rights that any
body is bound to respect. He is ding
busted anachronism-
In the days when people drove
horses and rode in buggies. few Pc
destrians were run down. man can
hear a horse coming a quarter of a
mile away, and has nlenty Of time to
crawl under a bridge or climb a tree
If he happened to be 50 deaf or dotty
or reckless as to be run over, every =
body in sight would rush to his as
Sistance and bind up his wounds and
pour oil on his hair, and brush the
dust off his garments, and it would be
generally agreed thai the man who
drove a horse faster than three miles
an hour, thereby fmperiling the lives
of taxpayers, should be in the penften-
tiary for life. The horse owner would
be hauled before the alcade, who would
fine him as much as he dared, and
roast him until his hair curled. and
the press would point the finger OF
scorn at him, and the preachers would
denounce him from the pulpit In those
halcyOn days the pedestrian had few
rights, and was regarded as a human
being, but times have changed.
Yesterday was going 70 the bank
with a sackful of pennies for deposit
went cater &C s the street,
and my mind was engaged with several
business problems, so 1 didn't hear a
coming motorcycle until il climbed my
person and upset me in the middle OF
the street Before I could regain my
feet three automobiles, Two motor
cycles, several safety bicycles and a
truck had run over me- a policeman
grabbed me BY the collar and assisted
ne to my feet. expressing his surprise
that chumps like me would persist in
constructing traffic and Damaging cost
" vehicles. There wasn't a symPa-
thetic smile anywhere EverybOdg
scoWled at me as though I were a pub
lie enemy I'm glad I'll be dead when
people have to dodge vehicles overhead
as we'll as those on the surface"

One Hundred Years
Ago Today"

Alexander M. Pennock, who served
with distinction as an officer of the
United States navy for nearly hall a
century, was born 100 years ago today
in Norfolk, Va. He entered the navy
as a midshipman in 1928 and during
the early years of his career saw
service in many parts of the world.
In 1889 he accompanied the naval ex-
petition to Paraguay in command of
the steamer Southern Star" During
the last two years of the civil war he
was fleet captain of the Mississippi
squadron. In 1869 he was made com
mander Of the entire European squad
ron and three years later he was pro
NOTED rear admiral. Rear admiral
Pennock retired from active service
in 1875 and died the following year in

How They Are Controlled.
The SchuIze-DelitzSch banks are
controlled by 4 college OF three STARRED
members-One member attending to the
money department, second MEMBER 10
third serving as a general head, whose
business, so they say In Germany, IS
to worry the other two. Two sigma
lures are required to every transac-
ton entered into by the members OF
the college, and their responsibility is
Joint and undivided. They are elected
for three years by the entire mem
bership, and their work is renewable
by a. board of control or directorate.
People Their Own Bankers.
In operation, the Schulz-Delitzsch
banks have trained the people to pc
come their own bankers, assisting the
individually weak to grow into the
unitedly strong, and aiding the COM
munity to develop self-discipline and
prudence. They have developed CO.
operation where it is needed and
omitted it where it is unnecessary
They have saved the poor but honest
artisan from being the prey of the
money lender. They know their Gus
toners and their customers know them
Being both borrower and lender in
one, they invite inspection of their
private finances as the best means Of
protecting themselves. Combining
saving with credit. they fiEd their or
ganization a tWo-edged sword that
from around them, and lifts them to
a place of economic independence that
never could be possible with the ordi-
nary homeopathic bank. Building
credit at once, they gradually lift
themselves up the ladder of life.
