Girl That Is Popular.

The most popular girl in the school will generally be a girl who excells In games and outsiders often wonder why this should be the case. The req son Is that to play most games well a girl must be unselfish; she must play for her side." and not for her own honor and glory. and she carries this out unconsciousiy in her daily life. You do not find her thinking that no one else is of any use in the world, or putting on airs because ahs happens to be better looking than her companions. She is simple and natural and content to give and take" and Is as strict in her code oe honor as her brother is in a public school. Such girls will always win. be rich in friends, and wherever they go they carry with them . breezy spirit of joy and good fellowship.

READ A HALF HOUR A DAY
How a Housewife W:h intelligence Kept Herself From Drifting Into
 a Dull, Old Woman.

A woman who has brought up big family on a small income, yet has managed to keep mentally alert says 1t is due to Half-Hour club
 This club has as it's fixed rule that half an hour each day must be spent In solid reading. There was a leeway or "A hours, after that there was . hne Of five cents each day for fail ure to get through the prescribed reading.
 Twice month the club meets for discussion of the reading done and to collect fines of delinQuents and spur them on to fresh effort
 The woman who told of this club says: No one knows what 1t has meant to me. When you are the one woman in family of boys, have a bushel basket of stockings to darn weekly, six children to sew for. les sons to be heard, it Is a big tempta- don to stop reading entirely or to trltter spare minutes on novels. That half hour day of solid reading has Kept me up with the times, has rested my body and stimulated my brain, and, best of all it has kept me from drifting into a dull old woman, of whom my sons might love, but would pity for her ignorance.
 Especially If you live in a small town Is such club of importance It is easy to stagnate, unless conscious effort is made. The winter season is the time to start such a club amons yours neighbors. Do not be content with planning a half-hour reading daily for yourself You will never hold to 1t without the ,imulus of com panionship and th5 broadening inter est of the fortnightly meetings.

WHAT DOES "LURID" MEANT !
ropu'ar Usage of the Word Is Opposed to Its Definition, Which
 Is Pale"

Two men got into an argument ra. saroing the meaning of the word
 iurld One of them had used ths word, as the police reporter uses if to describe the red glare in the s,,v mace by fire at night. The other man objected to this, asserting that the word "lurid" means pale" in- steal of deep red" Thereupon they applied to the dictionaries and found them agreed in defining 'lurid" as
 pale, wan, ghastly pale"
 But the Oxford Dictionary has caught up with the new and popular meaning of the word with this defini. tion:
 shining with a red glow or glare amid darkness (said of lightning flashes across dark clouds or flame mingled with smoke)."
 But this seems to be gratuitous of the Oxford Dictionary. The word "lurid' started out it seems as a Latin adjective meaning pale, yellow" It was used chiefly of the compIexion, much as "sallow" is used. Then it grew to have the meaning of "ghast- ly." But it's transition into the popu. lar meaning given it today seems to have been due to the willfulness of the press, which found it a handy word to describe phenomenon for which no other word had, apparently, quite the desirable flavor-Mancheste Guardian.

Guard Your Children
 Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an carly age become constipated, and frequently serious consequences result. Not being able to realize his own con dition, a child's bowels should be constantly watched, and a gentle laxative given when necessary. Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets are especially well adapted to women and children The Sisters of Christian Charity, S3I Charles St.. Luzerne, Pa, who attend many cases of sickness say of them:
 "some time ago we began using Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets and find that we like them very much. Their action Is excellent and we are grateful For having been made acquainted with them. We have had good results In every case and the Sisters are very much pleased"
 The form and flavor of any medi- cine IS very important. no matter who is to take it. The taste and appearance are especially importaat when children are concerned, All parents know how hard it is give the average child medicine, even though tie taste is partially dis guised. Tn using Dr. Miles Lax ative Tablets, however, this diff. culty is overcome. The shape of the tablets, their appearance and candy-like taste at once appeal to any child, with the result that they are taken without objection.
 The rich chocolate flavor and absence of other taste, make Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal remedy for children.
 If the first box fails to benefit, the price is returned. Ask your druggist. A box of 25 doses costs only z5 cents. Never sold in bulk. MILES MEDICAL CO.,, Eikhart, Ind.

PRIVILEGE OF BEING AN ASS
Generally Considered inalIenabie, but New York Magistrate Who Fined
 Student Thought Otherwise.

Compared to the inalienable right to make fool of yourself. the right of free speech. which loud-mouths pro- claim the most cherished one. Is of small concern in the average person. Of all places where some restraint on the former might be expected New York is the last that would be thought of. Yet in the night court Columbia student, caught by an alert constable in the act of standing still under an open umbrella while the stars shone overhead, was fined $10 and warned that the penalty for the next offense of similar genesis would be a term in the workhouse. The young man. of course was qualifying for fratern- ity. He looked foollsh-as was the authoritative intention, in which he acquiesced.
 'But," quoth the police magistrate ponderously, mo fraternity has right to order a man to make an ass of him. self" and he expressed the wish that the whole chapter could be haled into court that he might fine them all. Con- sidering in how many ways New York invites young men to make asses of themselves, and how many persons in that town, in fact, do make asses Of themselves without molestation, why should the line be drawn at practice apparently so inoffensive to public pol lev as the one criticized d?-Providence Journal.

Newest Pest,

The newest pest in the west and middle west is the dog. Not the prai- rie dog, just the common dog. He is responsible for the decline In the sheep raising industry. In many states in the section of the country once largely devoted to cattle and sheep raising. there are moro dogs than there are sheep. It takes three barb wires on top of two feet of woven wire to make a fence that will keep dogs away from sheep. Kansas had 176,000 sheep and 199.000 dogs in 1910. according to the secretary of the Kansas board of agriculture.
 The usual answer farmers in the west give to the question. "Why don't you keep sheep?" is We can't keep dogs from Killing theu."
