Loo Tender With Il

A physician tells a story of a phil
anthropic doctor in a Pennsylvania
coal mining town who presented each
household with a nice new thermome-
ter and told the people the necessity
OF maintaining proper temperature.
When making his rounds one day he
observed his thermometer hanging in
tie room. He inquired of the woman
of the house If she had remembered
his instructions.
Indeed, sir, do was the response.
.'.I hang the thing right up there and
watch it carefully to see it does not
get too high.
&c od!" exclaimed the doctor. And
what do you do when the tempera-
ture rises above 90 degrees?r
"Nhy. sir. answered the woman,
with the air OF one faithful to trust,
.'when it gets too high take it down
ana put it outside until 1t cools of.

According to This, There Is Little
Doubt About coIored Mans Lik-
Ing for Chickens.

In the endeavor to uplift the race, a
friend of ours started in by trying to
smash silly old superstitions. Our
friend believes that negroes are ma
llgned, and that many of the stock
jokes about them are not founded on
fact. He has, in fact, succeeded in
proving that a number of the old min
strel standbys are mere senseless
jests. And the other day he inter-
viewed the elevator boy In his office
building.
Arthur" he said. there's silly old
saying that you colored people are
crazy about chickens. can't see how
that started. Do you like chicken? p

PRINCETON OFFERS ESCORT.
Students, | 900 Strong, Want to March
at IpaueuratiOn.

If Governor Wilson gives the word
he will have as his personal escort at
his inauguration more than thous-
and undergraduate Of Princeton
University.
Paul +. Meyers, president of the
Princeton Woodrow Wilson Club,
called at the Governor home in
Cleveland and, spe aking for the stu
dent body. laid before the President
elect his proposal. Governor Wilson
seemed pleased with the cordiality of
the students, but did not commit
himself on the plan.
Every student at the university is
anxious to participate in the inaugu-
raj procession, said Mr.. Meyers.
81 can guarantee right now to have
at least thousand undergraduates in
the parade.
Governor Wilson was president of
the university for many years and
every man of US takes pride in his
election to the Chief Magistracy of
the nation. We think it would be ap-
propriate for us to escort him. There
would be bit OF sentiment about it,
and what could be more inspiring
than old Nassau sung by thousand
men on an occasion like this"
The student body has received as
surances that President Hibben will
grant them leave of absence in the
event that their wish to escort the in
coming President is gratified.

GREAT MEN or PRESENT DAY
English Writer Accords Honors to
Those He Deems Have Made Their
Names Worthy Of Mention.

Doubtless. writes Clement Short
er. in the Strand. there are many
great men living today-men with
prospective greatness-but only time
can decide. In my judgment. there is
no man in the world today who is
great in any walk of life In so strik-
ing a way that his contemporaries can
unhesitatingly proclaim him great.
History has proclaimed the elder Pitt
a great man. but not 50 certainly his
son. II has assigned this epithet to
Palmerston or Peel, and it is too early
yet 10 decide whether IL win concede
1t 10 Gladstone or Disraeli. The great
man Is surely he who by force Of
1 MUS, has impressed himself upon
his age in some permanent form.
Whether the achievements OF Mr.
Roosevelt or OF Emperor William are
Of this character had better be de-
cided a century hence. AS you ask
me. however, TO join in what can
scarcely be serious discussion, sug-
gest that we take the name OF a
living man from each country who
has, by invention or creation, stamp
ed himself upon his age. l therefore
nominate the ten greatest men of the
present day as follows:
Great Britain, Thomas Hardy;
Great Britain, Lord Lister; United
States, Thomas A. Edison; Italy,

kDE IN PHlLAMTHR0PIC MOOD
Successful American Writer Relates
With Pleasure How He Served
inquiring Chicago Woman.

George Ade vas talking about his
last visit to London.
Il like to knock about London
alone" he said, studying the places

IS Christmas season l remember with
particular pleasure a good deed that /
performed at one Of London's historic
landmarks for a Chicago woman.
1T was a rainy fall day and I sat
over a beefsteak pudding and a mug
Of bitter at the Cheshire Cheese on
Fleet street
The Chicago woman entered, Bos-
wells johnson 81 her hand. The Che
shire Cheese was. you know, Johnson's
favorite tavern, and the woman had
been told that the great mans auto
graph could still be seen, penciled on
one OF the walls.
The walters told her they knew Of
no such autograph, but the woman,
with dauntIess Chicago spirit, began
long. long search, upstairs and
down.
While she was upstairs q warm
glow Of beneyolence suddenly rose up
IN my breast, and. taking pencil
from my pocket, wrote with quaint
eighteenth century fiourishes on the
vail behind me:

"The woman on her return from up
etairs spied the autograph and was
overjoyed. Is it not amazing how
much happiness we can give to others
by these little acts of kindness?'

old proverbs About ApnIea.

No fruit has played a more impor-
tant part in sacred or profane history
than the apple, of which Solomon
made good use in his proverbs, @stol-
en- apples are sweet" and a word fitly
spoken is like apples of gold in pic
lures Of silver"
A good many English doctors pre-
scribe an apple for either the first or
last meal. The Dutch equivalent for
our two birds with one stone is
two apples with one stick" and the
origin in the saying. "A windy year,
an apple year. dates back to the days

Parents obieot to SUNDAY school.

Parents Object TO Sunday School.
The falling off in attendance in the
Sunday schools, which was the sub
ject of a discussion at the convention
of the New York County Sunday
School association, was referred to by
a layman after the meeting had ad-
journed as "a progressive disease"
and that the Presbyterian Sunday
schools are not the only ones where
there had been a falling OFF from 81
to 81 per cent" ITO a great extent"
lie said. ''the condition is the result
of too much school work. Parents
say that after a strenuous week at
school the child should have work of
no kind on Sunday. That's the ex-
ouse of those parents who seldom go
70 church because of golf and motor
cars-and there are thousands of
them. New York Tribune.

BOOK LORE.
What January Magazines Contain Of
Interest to Readers.

An interesting discussion has been
going on in Farm and Fireside"
about the wages paid to farm help.
The statement was made in a recent
number that back as far as 1870 farm
ers were paying as much for hired
men as they are now. In the current
issue a contributor takes exception TO
this statement. Following is an ex-
tract:
''Take the counties of nothern Illi-
nois in the corn belt and much of the
/ State of Iowa, common price for a
married man now is about $40 per
month with house and garden provid-
ed, also shedding and feed for COW
and horse. 1t is safe to assert that in
/ the majority of prosperous districts
/ throughout the North and West and
/ Middle West much the same wages
prevail. We know of one or two cases
recetly where a man of thisAkind got
only 80 per month, and of another who
got as high as S65, but those are I'M
usual instances, about $40 per month
being the common pay. A frst-class
single man will get, besides board and
lodgings and the keep of a horse, at
least $50 per month.

sumers is analysed by B. F. Yoakum,

Half our population are farmers. A

ter are dreaming about farming some
day. All your readers, therefore, will
enjoy items in the Farm and Fireside.
In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside' Herbet Quick, the editor of
that periodial, writes an interesting
editorial showing how progress places
a great strain on people. He tells the
following story:
II know a young man who lived In
city until he had graduated from an
agricultural college. He worked on
farms in vacations, and he did every
thing that city man can do to learn
farming practically as well as theoreu-
cally. But he bad not had the advan-
tage the farm boy possesses of driving
team year after year and listening to
the discussion of farm problems about
the hearth in a farm home while
child. He went on large farm as ten
ant. Three hundred acres of land to
be pIowed. put into crops, tended and
harvested. / visited him about the
frst of July of bis first summer.
Things looked badly. He had made
lot of mistakes that an old farmer
would never have made, but read the
magazine.
