II SHOOK HIS NERVES.
An Incident That Made Man Feel
Queer For Awhile.

"One night" said lawyer, 'I
was preparing some tedious plead.
ings which had to be submitted to
court the following morning, and,
knowing that I would need every
moment of my time, I locked my
self in small private consultation
room in the rear of my suit, where
no chance caller could interrupt me.
The room is very diminutive, with
only one window, looking into a
court, and no furniture except a
table and two or three chairs. Well,
l worked on steadily hour after
hour long after the city had settled
into sleep and silence. The build
ing was so still l could hear even an
occasional mouse scamper across
the floor alone. At last | concluded
the task and, sitting erect in my
cnalr, began to stretch my cramped
limbs.
CAS- I did so my eyes happened
to fall on a lighted cigar stump ly-
ing on the carpet not four feet
away, and / stopped stock still, fro
zen with amazement. do not
smoke. had been sitting for hours
In that little locked room. I could
swear that no one had entered: The
window was tightly closed, yet there
right at my feet lay a half con-
sumcd cigar with a great live coal
still glowing at the end. 1t seems
ridiculous to confess, but a thrill of
horror ran through me like a gal
vanic shock. A hallucination of any
kind is an appalling thing; it makes
no difference how grotesque or
homely the subject. 1t carries such
frightful suggestion of breakdown
IN ones mental engine room.
@Well, l finally summoned up
enough nerve to stoop down and e1-
anime the stump, and what do you
think it was? Why, a tin foil cap
sule from the top of an ordinary
quart bottle cf mucilage. In strip.
ping it off it had assumed the cir.
cular twist of a cigar and, the foil
being brown, was just the right col
or. The red seal at the top formed
the coal, and a yard or so away the
illusion was perfect. / drew a deep
breath of relief, but it was actually
several days before my nerves re-
sumed their normal tension."-

STRETCH YOURSELF.


A splendid thing for the body is
stretching. When you first wake
up in the morning, take a good. long
stretch Stretch the hands as far
out sideways as possible. Then
stretch them over the head as far as
you can reach, and at the same time
stretch the feet downward as far as
you can Raise the feet and stretch
upward just as high as you can, and
then lower the feet and legs very
slowly.
When you get out of bed, raise
your arms over your head, and,
standing on tiptoe, see how near you
can reach the ceiling. Then walk
about the room while in this posi-
ton. Stand on the right foot and
stretch the right arm forward and
upward as high as you can, while at
the same time the left foot is raised
from the floor and stretched out
ward, and the left hand is stretched
backward and downward. This is a
fine exercise for the whole body and
is especially good for the waist and
hips, making them firm and strong.
Standing on the left foot this exer-
else can be reversed.
If you have been sitting in the
same position for long time read
ing, studying, writing or sewing and
the muscles have become tired and
cramped, the best thing to do is to
get up and stretch. Stretch the
arms upward and outward and for
ward and backward Lift the shoul-
ders as high as you can and drop
them. Expand the chest and
breathe deeply, or, sitting in the
chair, stretch the hands upward, lift
the feet from the floor and stretch
them forward as far as possible,
any way SO you give the muscles a
good, vigorous stretch.
When one is very tired, there IS
more restful than stretch
ing the muscles and then relaxing.

Mr.. Merchant Do You
Advertise?

c. w. Post the millionaire breakfast food manu-
facturer, at dinner given to his employees some
time ago. IN response to toast to the success of his
foods, said: Gentlemen, appreciate the delight
1ul compliment paid to our breakfast food which,
OF course merits your favor and the applause of the
world, but would not have you forget that the sue
cess of this venture is also keen compliment to the
science of Advertising"
That's true, it proves what advertising will do If
you will find some use for common white sand, and
advertise it extensively ond udcousy it will be as
gold mine.
Why it is that merchants are afraid to venture out
IN this line, is hard to understand. Every business
man knows 1t pays to advertise. Every business
man knows millions have been made with some COM
mon article, not always even necessity but adver-
tlsed properly. Every business man knows that the
mos prosperous merchants the heaviest adverti-
sers; yet the average man does not seem to grasp
the necessity.
You will be aid and infrm, before trade will in
crease without the use OF printers ink in some form
The personal testimonials of your few customes will
be a long time reaching around the community
Advertise, and get your personal workers band
enlarged and instead OF half dozen or so families
get dozens and treat them SO we'll that they are
compelled to talk about your merchandise.
See here, Mr. Merchant, to sum up, you must
make your advertising an intelligent campaign
planning with the same thought used in the seec-
tlon of the merchandise.
Advertise your goods and you will sell them as
sure as two and two make four

Chimes " rship CT Ancestors.

The one s1'ritual force that DOM
mates ever, eAss Of society in Chi
ma is ancessor lip. In the Chi
nese religion the.r IS no other that,
can take its place for a moment. A,
pan may or may not worship idok.,
He may express his utter skeptic-
ism about them or profess. belief In
them. No one cares what he
thinks. Let him, however, neglect
the worship of the dead and he is
looked upon and pointed to with
the bitterest scorn both by his own
relations and by his neighbors. The
worst taunt that the heather can
hurl against the Christian, and the
one that stings him most, is the
sneering statement that he has no

understood when it is remembered
that rc eiver often has to write

THE SEEING TELEPHONE.


Wnat may Happen When Fow1O,B
Invention Is In Daily Use.
You have. probably heard the story
OF the absentminded man at the tele>
phone answering the inquiry of the
friend who had forgotten his umbrella.
"Is this it?" he shouted, holding the
rain defer to the mouthpiece Of the
phone This absentminded man was 0
prophet as well as an unconscious hu-
fnorist. for it won't be long, they say,
before he can see umbrellas and all
sorts Of things over the wire. The de-
vice which is expected to accomplish
this miracle Is called the televue. It
was invented by J. B. Fowler of Port
land, Ore. and has already been tested
with success over distance Of 5000
feet. Preliminary patents have been
issued in Washington.
The televue looks very much like an
ordinary telephone. On the cabinet are

murInur.

At one of the London clubs one
evening Mr. Montagu Williams met
Lord =, who had just lost his fa-
ther. The young lord was naturally
melancholy, and the lawyer pro-
posed visiting a theater opposite,
which proposition was accepted.
There was slight fire in the thea
ter, whereupon the young lord was
among the first to bolt, like a rab-
BIT" out of the building. Return
ing leisurely to the club, Mr.. VIII
liams found there his young friend
quietly smoking a cigar.
"What on earth made you bolt
that way? You seemed frightened
out OF your wits mot difficult mat
ter Perhaps). Don't you know that
on such an occasion If everybody
got up and rushed out panic would
ensue, with very likely fatal conse-
quences? Why on earth couldn't
you sit still, as l did? There was
nothing serious the matter" Upon
this, with the most patronizing air,
the young gentleman replied, ooh,
tes, that's very well for you, but
you've not just succeeded to peer

Causes Of War.

The horrors of the Indian mutt
ny will still be remembered, ani
the cause which led to it is a mat
ter of history. Cartridges greasej
with cows fat were served out to
the sepoys, who refused to use
them on the ground that the cow,
was sacred animal. Almost with,
out any warning the terrible massa-
cres followed, which we're only
avenged at an enormous expendi-
ture of lives and money.
The war which deluged Austris
and Prussia with blood in 1865 en-
anated in the former failing to an
swer question asked by the latter.
In the spring of that year the Aus
TRANS began to arm very speedily
and powerfully, and the Prussians
wanted to know the reason. To
this they would give no reply, and
Prussia, thinking it was an un-
friendly and menacing action,
brought about the CORY campaign.-

StronQ Words.

Big words pass for sense with
some people and sometimes may be
very successfully used when nothing
else will answer, says an English
writer. Thus when a man, in great
alarm, ran to his minister to tell
him he could see spots on the sun
and thought the world must be COM
ing to an end, ooh, doA't be afraid" :"
said the good minister, cts nothing
but a phantasmagoria." 'Ts that
alp" said the frightened man, and
then he went away relieved.
A very smart lawyer some time
since had the misfortune to lose
case for a client who had every rea-
son to expect success. The client,
plain old farmer, was astounded by
the long bill Of costs and, fastening
to the lawyers Office, said, 81
thought you told me we should cor-
tainly gain that suit?" $50 l did,
answered the lawyer, 'but, you see,
when l brought it up there before
the judges they said it was a quo
rum non judice." "Well, if they said
it was as bad as that" replied the
old farmer, Il don't wonder we lost
it." And he paid the costs and
big fee besides without another
murmur.

with patience until the eighth day,

A STUDENT JOKE.


Professor Elias Loomis fer many
years occupied the chair of astrono.
my at Yale and was the author of
the well known series of mathemat-
ical text books.
Professor LOOMS repeated each
year to the Junior class course of
lectures or physics. The lectures
were illustrated b. experiments.
and in one on compressed air he
explained the principle of the well
known ar gun.
The students of each succeeding
class as they entered the room for
this particular lecture found on the
side of the room remote from the
platform small target. After ex-
planning the operation of the gun
Professor Loomis was in the habit
of landing three of its projectiles
with mathematical accuracy in the
center of the bullseye.
The professor was always ap-
plauded for this feat, but his grim
face, covered by tightly drawn
skin of parchment hue, never show
ed the slightest sign of qualification
or recognition of any kind. To him
it was apparently only scientific
experiment to be exactly demon
strated.
One class of Juniors, however,
who had learned of the immemorial,
incident from the then seniors, at
tempted a little experiment of
their own, the subject being mathe-
matical and scientific human ma
ture.
Three puffs from the air gun, and,
the students saw that the
bullseye was perforated as usual,
there was not sound of applause.
Professor Loomis looked a moment
art the class in startled way, then
at the target, and then, with de-
gree, of emotion he had never be-
fore shown, exclaimed:
Didn't it hit? Didn't it hit?
Didn't it hit ?"
A roar CT laughter, followed BIZ
even more than the usual applause,
showed the professor that he had
not lost his mathematical accuracy.
