CONCENTRATION
Do Only One Thing at a Time, but Do
That One Thing Well.

SO III Nv b's9 -
That One Thing Well.
The man who makes good is the
man who can shut out Of his mind all
but one thing. An unsuccessful prin-
cipal of a school ono said that every
teacher ought to be able to do three
things at once. OF course he was
wrong. The teacher who does one
thing at a time and does it well is Civ
ing the pupil the best possible object
lesson In concentration.
We have to learn to think clearly
amid %distracting noises. to go forward
on a straight and narrow way with
out diversions and excursions that
waste our time and our substance and
to keep at work regardless Of the
tired feeling. the spring feeling
and whether the fishing is good or not.
When the soft breeze comes In at the
window we must stiffen the moral
fiber against its allurement. We must
pin our attention firmly to the turgid
and dry geometry of a legal brief or
the serried figures Of the daybook or
the busy system of a mercantile estab.
lishment and let every other thought
await its turn at the end Of Office
hours.
You may have heard a great lawyer
In action in a crowded courtroom.
What was the secret of his power? 1t
was that he would not let the jury's
attention or the witness tongue wan
der from the relevant facts. He kept
insistently to the straight line that is
the shortest distance from point to
point. He CURLY dismissed all that
was superhuous. immaterial and cal
culated to blur the salient outlines OF
the matter in controversy.-Philadel

ana romances show what that chivalry
really was. Wife beating was a com.

devastated by the flood, there was a
huge bonfire covering two city blocks,
with fire fighting apparatus surround
ing it.
1t is contended by large element
that the work of cleaning has been
hampered by the opening of the
saloons, which opened ten days ago.
Four thousand men had been en-
ployed on the cleaning work, many
imported from Chicago and other
cities. Hundreds Of them became de-
moralized through drinking and left
the city.
Immediate attention is to be given
the broken levees, in which only the
bad breaks have been stopped. The
government is giving attention to the
Improvement of the great Miami from
source to mouth. War department
engineers have surveyed the district.
Revised estimates of the financial
loss very almost as widely as they
did at first. A survey by company
of bankers and real estate men re-
suited in a total of S128,000000, in
Guiding $50,000.0OO for depreciation
of real estate. All the e:timates prob
ably are too high. The chamber of
commences estimate Q: mercantile
losses is $12,0OO,0O0. Not more than
one-third of the churches and schools
escaped the flood Most Of the schools
re-opened as soon as the waters re-
coded. A few of the buildings can
not be used before fall, and pupils
are Doubling up, half time, in nearby

More aid is to be extended in the way

for girls, the girls chances are slight
ly better than the boys; from the thir-
tieth to the thirty-tifth year the NOR
tality among women is smaller than
among men, and it continues smaller
until the SEVENTEEN year Then fer a
decade and half the sexes once more
have the same chance of survival, but
about eighty-five years of age woman
again stands a better chance than
man.
To account for this difference the
statistician points out that woman has
greater residence in shaking off dis
ease than man. 1t is true that the
physical strength Of man is greater
than woman's, but woman's power OF
endurance is more robust.
One reason for this is that woman
possesses a finer perception of her
power of endurance than man, and
when her perception warns her of IA
tigue she stops. A man does not stop
until his power is exhausted. His
nervous system is not as finely organ
lied as a woman's, and, as Masso, the
Italian psychologist, has pointed out,
men and women are entirely depen-
dent on their nerves for caution not
to overexert While it is true that wom-
en- more easily contract many dis
eases, particularly nervous and mental
diseases, than men, they overcome
them more easily.

IN BANKERS HANDS
Postal Savings System Under
Man of Experience.
Former Governor Dockery, Who De-
voted Many Years to the Bank
ing Business, Now Super
vises the Deposits.

Westinghouse the first time
since its inception the postal savings
system is to be administered by an
experienced banker. Third Assistant
Postmaster General Dockery, before
he became interested in wider politi-
cal life, was in the banking business.
AS far back as 1866 he organized with
financial friends the Farmers Ex-
change bank of Gallatin, Mo. Later
he became it's cashier and remained
such until 1882.
While in many respects the postal
savings repositories are widely differ
ent from banking institutions, in the
ordinary acceptance of the term, still
there Is much similarity noticeable,
and for this reason, more than for
any other, it is said, Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson was Influenced to call
to his assistance in the administration
of the new system that means so much
to the saving population of the Coun-
try the experience of trained banker
The last reports that may be said to
be complete thus far cover the system
up to March 81 last. At that time
there were 1928 repositories, located
at 1850 postoffices, of which 1922
were of the presidential class and
1888 were fourth-class Offices. The
number of depositors at that date ap-
proximated $4,000, and the amount
on deposit about $33,5O0,00O. or an av-
erage of about 800 per deposition

HAIR CUT BY A SQUIRREL
Rodent Barber Gets Busy on Thatch

tographer.

Ernest J. Bloom, a photographer
Of Hood River, Ore, who has been
passing the last two weeks at the
ranch of R. E. Scott, secretary of the
Commercial club, returned home with
4 portion of his hair gone.
Mr.. Bloom had been working in the
garden and making a lawn on the
ranch. He was taking nap after
lunch when a squirrel that had been
making it's home in the house this
winter, evidently thinking his long
black locks would make an excellent
lining for a nest, trimmed off por-
ton of the hair while he slept.
"The rodents teeth must have been
sharp" says the photographer. "for I
could scarcely feel him at work there

moved in my sleep and in his excite
ment he evidently pulled some of the
hairs out instead of cutting them.
This awoke me and / let out a yell
