According to Uncle Abner.

A lot of fellers who have failed in
everything else think they could run
the village newspaper durn sight bet
ter than the editor does.
There are plenty Of ways to be I'M
happy without trying to settle a quar-
rel between man and wife.
A mail carrier is lucky Teller.
When he gets all through with his
days work he don't have nothing to do
until tomorrow.
Any Teller who puts up holler agin'
the tight skirts is either a hypocrit or
a common ordinary four-flusher. Any
Teller who doesn't look at EN- won't
notice nothing Objectionable.
One Of the best ways to make hit
with your wife is to write letter to
the newspaper advocating votes for
wimmen.
Hank fell ofr'n the top of the postof-
fee and landed on the cement sidewalk,
but escaped uninjured as he didn't
strike on a vital spot. He landed on
his head
Jones is certainly glutton for hard
luck. Quite recently he took the cam
wasting righJs fer patent corkscrew.
After he had paid fer the rights he
found that his territory embraced nine
teen dry counties.
A Teller who is easy to get along
with never becomes a great captain Of
finance.
There amt nothing that makes a
teller feel smaller than to read the cen
sus statistics of this world
Your uncle's wife, who has been
down to New York, says while there
she ate some swell French dishes and
Hank butts in again by saying he would
have to be pretty hungry if he ate a
dish, whether it was a swell French
one or a common Chiny one.

senator to be is an ex-senator.

HIS START IN life
Came m Unexpected Way, and
He Married the Girl of
His Choice.
BY ALvAA JORDAN GARTH.

Fifty dollars lie not a great deal Of
money, but it appeared fortune to
Alvin Morrison. He was young, he
had always had to earn his own Nv
ing He had to endure the misfor.
tune Of working in store owned by
a relative, who promised a great deal
and never redeemed his promise. A
sense Of family duty and the uncer-
talnty Of finding employment, kept
Alvin pegging along in the same old
rut
But finally new element stepped
in, lifted the veil from the present.
and showed rare golden pathway in
the future. That element was love.
In the spring, Nettie Bridges, who
lived one hundred miles away from
Wayne, came to visit friend. Alvin
met her. They mutually fell in love.
Nettie was only seventeen, and a girl
of good sense Alvin was practical.
They very well knew that marriage
was long ways ahead. They did not
even become engaged. When they
parted, however. Nettie was willing
to wait and Alvin to work, and they
talked Of meeting again next year IN
stead Of next week, as most impatient
modern lovers do.
Then Alvin set to work to save.
He got some extra night work He
saved up fifty dollars. Right on top
Of it came a glad. hopeful letter from
Nettie. The father Of a girl friend
wanted a clerk His business was
good, he would pay liberal wages.
Nettie had spoken a word for her
lover friend. Alvin wrote to the mer-
chant at Hopedale. A reply accepted
his application, and he was to report
in a week.
mo good VIII come OF rowing,
grumbled selfish Uncle Uriah. 'Ill
give you raise Of dollar a week. "
mo" replied Alvin resolutely. I'm
not learning anything here" and to
himself, Il shall be near Nettie!"
He had great plans in mind He
would take in the city on his way.

PROVIDING A WATER SUPPLY
Natives Of the Soudan Utilize a hoi-
low Tree, Which Serves the Pur.
pose Admirably.

Surely the strangest use to which a
growing tree can be put is to turn
it into a reservoir. Yet this is what
the people Of Korodofan in the Sou
dan do with the tree which the botan--
lists call "Adansonia Digitata"
The tree, which is known to the ma
tives by the name of Home" groups
being called "Tebeldi, attains a consid-
cradle height. The trunk, which
measures from 20 70 30 feet in circum-
ference, is, like so many of the bam-
boo family, hollow, and the natives
have discovered that It makes an ex-
cellent cistern for storing water for
the arid season. Should the cavity
not be large enough the natives SCOOP
it out still further The Soudanese
have also a method Of cutting the
opening for the reception Of the wa
ter just at the top OF the trunk where
the branches begin. so that during the,
rainfall the great off-shoots Of the tree
act as cutters and guide the water
into the trunk At the same time pools
are dug at the foot Of the tree 70 col
lecJ the rain and from these are wa
ter is transferred to the trunk by
buckets. Sometimes, though rarely,
the tree cracks under the weight of
the water, after which the trunk is OF
little use However, the natives have
found that cracks can be successfully
stopped with cement, and recently a.
number Of broken-down trees have
been thus repaired.
Curlously enough, the presence Of
large quantities of water in the trunks
In no way impairs the growth cf he
trees, whose use in this way is I'M
doubtedly an ingenious solution of the
water supply problem.

WHAT IS SUCCESS?

People everywhere are striving for
success. Some for wealth, some for
learning, some for distinction in poll
tics, or in other lines Of human effort.
But after all, how much more satisfy
ing is the following sweet and whole
some definition Of success given by an
anonymous author We may read it
and re-read il and still the truth of it
grows in our heart of hearts:
"He has achieved success, who has
lived we'll laughed often, and loved
much, who has gained the respect Of
intelligent men and the love of little
children; who has filed his niche and
accomplished his task, whether by an
improved poppy a perfect poem or a
rescued soul. who has never lacked APP
probation Of earth's beauty, or failed
to express It; who has always looked
for the best in others and given the
best he had; whose life was an inspira-
ton and whose memory benediction. "

PHILOSOPHY or A LIFE.
New York World

There are characters so great that
their memorials are tributes to those
who rear them. 1t is so with Abraham
Lincoln, whose birth was celebrated on
the 10Th To preserve a fame that is
undytng, the appropriation by congress
Of $2, 100000 0as not needed. As proof
Of nations grateful appreciation it
was wise and generous.
We hear much these days Of philoso-
ply, most of it not understandable
There are societies that study pro-
foundIy and profess to comprehend.
These circles are small and the results
that they gain are uncertain.
But the philosophy of life like Linz
coins takes hold upon millions; it
abides in the hearts and minds Of men;
it influences nations; il inspires whole
races In comparison with it what
other is worth while?
Born in wretched poverty. an ilI-fav-

There he would buy a neat suit of
clothes. Then there must be 4 pres
ent for Nettie. This would leave him
enough 10 establish himself in a
boarding house, and little surplus to
take Nettie around once in while.
IT'S a wonderful place" declared
Alvin, after his first day in the big
city. Il could spend a month here
and not see nalf the sights"
The second day he sat on bench
In a public park, watching the pleas
ure boats on the little lake near by.
A man came limping up 10 him, sat
down, and moved about so helplessly
and IN such apparent pain. that Alvin
noticed him sympathizingly.
Are you ill?" finally inquired Alvin,
feeling pity for anyone In trouble
Worse than that" said the man
with groan. I'm going to hos
pital this afternoon That is, if get

10 pay my way 1t may not come. II
it doesn't, l suppose I'll die on the
streets"
THAT ia really too bad" comment
ed honest Alvin. Il do hope you will
get your letter"
The man shook his head in dismal
hopelessness. Then he edged closer
to Alvin, looked all around them and
said in q low, confidential tone:
IF you had a little money, young
man, could easily help myself and
double what you had II l was only
spry at getting around, ! wouldn't have
to wait long for cash"
why, how is that?" inquired Alvin,
his curiosity fully aroused.
We'll, I'll tell you Read that"
The man drew a morning newspaper
from his pocket He opened It on the
advertising page. Then he handed it
TO Alvin, his finger indicating an ad-
vertisemeut reading.

There is no obscurity in the philoso-

the flesh-and- blood life, the life of
