NOT GAIT. o'sRlEN'S DEED
Amusing "Reminiscences Concerning the
Capture Of the British sloop
Margaretta In ITS.

In the town of Machias, in eastern
Maine, where on May IL, 1775, took
place the Lexington of the seas"
the capture of the British sloop Mar
garetta by the townspeople under
command of Capt. Jeremiah O'Brien, a
little newspaper called the Eastern
Star was printed for a year or two, be-
ginning in 1914. From single copy
preserved through all these years in
Maine family is here reprinted for
the first time a Renaissance of the
editor concerning the redoubtable
O'Brien, who, after the Margaretta's
capture, became the terror of the seas
to the British in the provinces.
"To give some idea of the estima.
ton in which O'BCien was held by the
inhabitants of the British province
during the Revolutionary war, we will
relate an anecdote which was told to
us by a respectable gentleman in the
province OF New Brunswick: A loyal
Scotch pair, somewhat advanced in
life, were called on by one of theil
neighbors, who related to the guide
mon an account of great destruction
Of shipping in the Island of Jamaics
by hurricane. The guide aud wiley,
whose hearing was somewhat i'm
paired, caught the sound of 'destruc
ton of shipping in the course of the
conversation between her husband anC
the neighbor. Destruction of shipping
at that day was closely associated will

interrupted the conversation and ask
ed:
"'Was it Jere O'Brien that di'
that?'
"The husband Indignantly replied:
emo, it was a far NOR
powerful hand; it was God Al

For Individual Soap.

A chemical friend of the Scientific
American suggests that a campaign be
started against the common cake of
soap. About so years ago there was
sold form of soap for travellers con-
sisting of booklet, about two inches
by four inches, in which small leaves
of soft paper saturated with soap were
bound. Each leaf contained enough
soap for one washing of the hands.
1t is suggested that one might profit
ably dispense through penny-in-the-
slot machine a paper towel in which
is folded a sheet OF soap paper, for
convenient use In public lavatories.

PUT YOURSELF INTO TASKS
Only in That Way Can You Obtain
the Real Pleasure of Joy of
Creating.

While every man who makes liv.
ing Is not a genius, yet the real Joy
of creating can belong to each of us
in just as real and true way. If we
put into farming, or banking, or our
school work, the sense Of making
something, we get the great treasure
out of it. When we fill any task
with ourselves, we make something.
A girl says, 81 made the room tidy"
which simply means she put some
thing of herself into the disorderly
room, and SO beautified 1t. After she
had made it tidy, it reflected some
thing of herself; it looked some idea
of order such as he had in her own
mind. A boy says, 81 made good
recitation in school yesterday" and
he is right, for, although the lesson
was already there, 1t had to wait for
him to come along and make it a
recitation.
So it is everywhere. Making any.
thing means, no matter how simple
the task, that we bring out some
thing that did not exist before; and
that that something Is to some degree
like the maker of It, We get out
what we put In. If any one wants to
be miserable, the surest way is just
to do things without putting his
whole heart and self into them.
Think of the mere outside of the
tasks, and they are not worth doing.
But once put yourself into them, and
all that is changed.-From George
Lawrence Parker's Making a Living
in st. Nicholas.

PLAN CORN PRIZES
FOR POOR FIELDS
Boys Forced to Plant Grain in Un-
fertile Land to Get Recogni-
ton in Show.

A new series of prizes, planned for
the benefit Of boys who are compelled
to plant grain in unfertile land, will
be offered at the annual corn show
under the auspices Of the Atlanta
Chamber Of Commerce. The show
again will be held in the corridors of
the State Capitol.
While the new awards will not af-
feet the regular prizes, they are de-
signed to lift the poor land handi-
cap" under which many have been
laboring.
The new prizes are offered for the
greatest proportionate increase an
acre, and are expected to serve the
purposes Of increasing the interest in
the show, and in inducing the boys to
cultivate their land and make it bet
ter. Many boys last year planted in
bad land and showed splendid in
creases in the volume Of grain. They
were not given prizes because their
best efforts were not equal to the
normal yield of the richer lands.
The show committee Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce has begun its work
and will hold meetings at intervals
through the summer. II is planned to
make the next show the best in the
history of the State.
