Misuse of the Voice,

The easiest of bad habits to acquire
is that OF speaking loudly. Language
has become SO complex that not only
Is it necessary to say the right thing,
but it must be said in the right way.
A phrase may be said in jest or in
earnest: a rebuke may be kindly or
stern; an order may be Willingly or I'M
willingly received according to the
tone in which it has been said. Many
a faithful workman is unjustly &C.
cused of unwillingness and disloyalty
because of the churlish manner in
which orders are received Many a
master is regarded as unfeeling by his
employees because his actions are for
gotten and only the sting of his sharp
manner remembered
There are more homes that have
been wrecked by misuse of the voice
than in any other way A simple
question. is dinner readyY' put by
the husband may be said in such a
way as to arouse every drop of fight

words may be put in such a tone
that they bring forth a hearty vel
come The old song, at isn't what
e says: it's the nasty way e says it,
Is the real answer to many question

MADRID, Jan. 6.-Consternation

the resignation of the Portuguese cabi-

A large faction of independents and
democrats who favored Alfonso Costa

An Odd Incident Of War.

In the Philippine portion OF his book
"The Memories Of Two Wars" General
Funston tells of a unique instance at
the siege of Mala bon: Company l. was
firing q few voileys. and one of the
men. having just discharged his piece
felt Il second blow against his shoulder,
it being almost as hard as the kick of
the gun. Upon trying to reload it was
found that the breech of the piece could
not be opened. and it was laid aside tC
be examined by daylight, which was
done in the presence of Il number of us
officers. Upon forcing the breech open
it was found that the base of the cop
per she'll of the cartridge that had been
fired just before the weapon had bcen
disabled had been shot away, while
mixed all up in the breech mechanism
we found the remains of the steel
jacket and the lead filling Of Mauser
bullet. There was a very pronounced
dent on the muzzle OF the piece. What
had happened was that while the man
had the gun extended in the firing po-
sition a bullet had gone down the muZ-
Zle. This weapon is now in the Army
Ordnance museum in Washington"

THE FIDO MUFF.
Takes the Place Of Teddy Bear In So
ciety

Takes the Place Of Teddy Bear In So
ciety.
The Fido muff has taken the place
of the Teddy bear as a pet, and one
will meet dozens of these new pets
soon in the arms of their devoted own
ers.
Not all the muffs are alike. and of
course the name Fido is not an arbi-
trary one. Sport or Tige or any other
suitable canine pseudonym would an
swer equally well.
The black astrakhan and Persian lamb
doggies are the favorites. for they have
a wonderful resemblance to a French
poodle before he has been shaved.
The outer side OF Fido presents an I'M
broken furry coat. but on the opposite
side are two pockets. into which the
hands may be thrust as into a big
muff.
The little dog face is surprisingly
natural, with It's bright eyes, white
teeth and red tongue hanging out at
one side. and a metal collar and rib
bon bow make the resemblance to a
real dog all the more vivid.

! Terre Haute Plan.
"The Terre Haute plan, which pro-
vides that for every teacher in each
county 500 be set aside would be a
great benefit to the counties in the
northern part of the state but would
work hardship on the southern coun-
ties to demand more regular attend
ance than they now have. They would
have to lengthen their sessions to re-
ceive the full value of this law. This
would necessarily increase their local
taxes.
In Wayne county this law would
mean an increase of from $4,000 to
$4,000 according to School Superin-
tendsns Charles o. Williams.

The Victims of ENGLAND.

If the king Of England were to re-
nounce the throne and resolve to be-
come an ordinary citizen he would be
called George Victim. How does the
name Victim come to be the king IS

Queen Victoria married Albert. duke
Of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha. of the senior
branch of the house of Saxony. The
family name by which this house. dat
ing from the middle of the tenth CEN
fury, came to be known afterward was
Victim, and this was and is the sur
name of both branches-the ErnestinC
and Albertine-of the house Of Saxony
The name comes from the castle OF
Victim. near Magdeburg. which claim
