Humor Of Their Column Writing In chs
Old Days.
In the old days writing columns was
q noble business 1t was generally re-
garded as preface to literary achieve
ment. Mark Twain and o. Henry
were columpers and were working
along the good. old safe lines years
ago. They were both particularly
strong for answering imaginary cor,
respondents, Here is sample from the
work Of each. SO you may Judge how
far the columning art has backed up
The first paragraph is Mark Twain's:

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Heat Prostration.

Heat prostration may occur to
those who are not exposed to
the direct rays Of the sun. but
who are living under conditions
accompanied by great heat and
humidity, such as workers in
laundries, bakeries, foundries,
etc. In this condition Fremont
tory symptoms or warning signs,
such as a sick stomach, vomit-
ing, feeling of faintness, dizzi-
ness and at times a sense Of tin
Cling throughout the body. are
usually In evidence.
During very hot weather per-
sons having these symptoms
should go to cool, shady spot,
sit or lie down and keep perfect
ly quiet, awaiting medical at
tendance. In heat exhaustion or
heat prostration the body tenn
perature is never elevated. but
may be below normal; the skin
is frequently found cool and
clammy, with free perspiration;
the pulse is fast and weak. The
afflicted person is very restless
and may be unconscious. The
natural appearance is often the
same as that Of a person who
has tainted. Although in expert
hands warmth may be applied
and stimulants administered, yet
it is advised. lest a mistake be
made in determining the exact
condition of the individual, not
to give any remedies, but to
await the arrival Of a doctor.

and the person removed to a
cool, well ventilated room as
soon as possible.

Likewise the Substantial Trimmings

While he was attache OF the British
embassy in Washington the late Henry
Labouchere. when young man,
turned up In New York one day
hungry and penniless.
At noon. with his usual reckless dar-
Ing, he entered Broadway chop
hcuse-one Muldoon's-and ordered
modest meal. But he had no idea how
he would pay for this meal. Perhaps
he would leave his hat or boots in
pledge for it. AS he pondered the
matter he noticed that the walters,
who were staring at him oddly, were
all Irishmcn Were the walters
aware Of his lack of funds? His
luncheon seemed strangely long in
coming. But just then waiter bent
over him and whispered
Il beg pardon, sir, but are You the
patriot Meagher?"
Now, Meagher. Labouchere knew.
had aided Smith O'Brien in his Irish
rising, had been deported to Australia
and had escaped thence to New York.
The ready young man, In answer to
the walters question, put his foreinger
upon his lip. Hush he murmured.
And he looked around the room eau
tiously.
1t was at once felt that Labouchere
was the patriot Meagher. And so the
choicest wines were set before him,
and. in place Of the modest chop he
had ordered, luncheon of nine or ten
elaborate courses was brought on.
At the end, lighting one of the estab-
lishment's finest cigars, Labouchere de-
manded his bill. His waiter smiled,
retired and soon came back with
big, handsome MANTLE proprietor
himself. The proprietor. bending over
the youth. said earnestly
"From one like you. sufferer In the
good cause. can take no money. It
has been privilege to serve you, sir.
Permit brother patriot to shake you
by the hand"
And Labouchere shook hands with
the proprietor and with the dozen
walters and stalked forth into the cold
world with the stern. sad. but indomi-
table look which 1t seemed to him that
an exiled patriot should wear.

its lumber. You may still see those

have stood there. Perhaps 1t is as we'll
that these relics should remain; they
are a tiny part of our social history,
They will probably remain when we
are flying to dinner or the theater in

know what hackney carriage" meant,
and there will be discussions in the

For each generation hands down to the

God, and to do 1t. In all their dis.

a solid national compact; the union
of effort to free these states and de-
fend them; the union of hearts loyal
and true; and this idea of national
union emblazoned on our banner Is
expressed in the field of blue on which
shine the stars of the several states.
To destroy this union would be to re-
verse the progress of our history and
make void the struggle and sacrifice
of/our fathers.
In the second place, it is the banner
of Lii erty. These states were united
in the cause of freedom. The struggle
of their common enemy forced them
to unite their efforts in the struggle
for common liberty. The recognized
liberty as one of the inalienable rights
to be bestowed by the creator and in
the cause of their liberty and the
liberty of their children they have
pledged their lives, their liberties and
their sacred honor. Yes, it is the flag
of the free!
In the third place, 1t is also the
banner of bravery. Never in the his
tory Of the world did more heroic men
place themselves upon the altar of
patriotism because they feared God
and recognized the justice of their
principles, they were willing to sacri-
flee life itself. AS we look upon the
banner today and remember that 1t
was made expressive of brave and
patriotic men, 1t recalls the heroic
struggles of the Revolution. The red
signifies 1t is the banner of the brave.
In the last place, 1t Is the banner
Of peaceful possession. Wherever it
floats, u flag is the symbol of
sovereign rule. 1t stands for nation
al ownership-not of any party, large
or small, but the ownership of all the
people; and as such it is the pledge
Of peace, and back of the flag stand
the people and back of the people is
God, whose truth is displayed In its
signs and symbols.

NO NEED TO "H0LD PHONE"
Sound Magnifylns Trumpet Which
Will Tell You When 1t ls Time
to Talk.

There Is a sound magnifying trum.
pet of fiat shape, behind which Is a
small attachment intended to support
the telephone receiver. When it be-
comes necessary to hold the line,
when calling up or replying, instead OF
the person standing with the receiver
glued to his ear he places the receiver
upon the time saver, bringing the ear
piece into position with the sound
magni1er. He is then at liberty to
resume his duties until such time as
h person required at the opposite
end attends his instrument
This is notified by the speech trans
mitter being magnified by the time
saving device SO as to be perfectly
audible at a distance. The receiver
may then either be withdrawn and
held to the ear in the usual way, or
left in connection with the magnifier,
hearing being quite as simple and
easy as under normal conditions. An
other advantage of the invention is
that the users two hands are left free
to carry out any other requisite task,
such as the turning up of documents,
making references, writing down mes
sages or instructions from dictation,
and so on.
