Snap Shots

IT Is EASIER
To climb rocks than to continue
walking when there are sharp peb-
bles in your path.
To blow yourself to the breaking
point Of toy balloon than to blow
dull care to the wind.
To resign yourself to the fact
that life is short than to lengthen
it by leading a double life.
To phllosophlze about the fact
that action and reaction are equal in
opposite directions than to recognize
the fact that grapefruit and lobster
Newburgh and tomato mayonnaise
and chocolate parfait at midnight will
probably spoil your appetite for a
chicken sandwich the next midday.
To say that the fashions OF to-
day are a reverslon 10 styles OF fifty
years ago than to persuade yourself
TO promenade the avenue in your
grandmothers llnsey woolsey best
dress
Another year OF happy work
That better Is than play
or simple cares and love that grows
More sweet from day to day.

GIVE HER UP.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
On my arrival in this country
four months ago ! first met my
17-year-old girl cousin. 1t was
a case of love (true love on my
part) at first sight She led me to
believe she returned my love, but
lately, both by words and actions,
she has shown me her mind has
either changed, or never was
made up. l am very unhappy over
it, r. l..
A girl of II is too young to know
her own mind, and it is unfair TO
her to ask it.
This is one reason why you should
give her up. A second and better,
one is that she is your first cousin.
First cousins should never marry.

ALL MEN ARE so.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAA.
| am just Is and have been
keeping company with young
man three years my senior for the
past year He is seemingly very
fond of me, but extremely jealous
and always has been. Do you
think it a wise plan to marry
man with that tendency?
X H. r.
There never was a man who was
not Jealous, and it takes very tact
full girl to manage the least jealous
of his sex.
If this man is extremely jealous, as
you say, and without grounds, l am
sure you will be happier without him.

Beauty Of to-day is a very fretful
type. I'm afraid There is too much
feverish worldliness with us and not
enough nobility. Women are develop
ing nerves. It seems to be quite the
thing to air them on all occasions.
And now let me tell you what the
restfulness of an art gallery will do
for you.
First of all, when you enter there
you are in a different world, a world
peoped by men and women of an
cient times, when physical develop
ment was as it should be and every
person born was philosopher. I'm
consciously you begin to absorb
wholesomeness. The lines of your
face settle into the calm nobility of
purpose seen on all the faces about

gentleman two years my senior.
He has proposed to me, but ] have
not accepted him yet, because he

toned to, as he has to work for a
living, ! wish you would tell me
whether or not you think / ought
to accept his offer of marriage.
MISS EARL.
Your question proves that you are
not fitted to be his wife. He should
marry a girl who is sensible enough
to care all the more for a man who
works for living, and I fear you are
not that. You do not love him, or the
question OF fine furniture would not
enter your head

Their Beauty Secrets.

you wonder with a little half
shamed smile, how you could possibly
lose your temper so many times dur
ing the trivial little happenings of the
day you resolve to be more calm in
the future, great peace seems to be
radiating from each statuesque coun-
tenance. you are in a land where strife
is unknown. where life presents too
big a problem to allow any of its
happenings to be trivial and there
fore where each individual does his
on her part in the great understand
ing process.
Wont you all make friends with
the inhabitants Of the nearest gal
Iery? They know a great many more
beauty secrets than | do. I have
simply stolen a few to tell you be-
cause / know that they will spur you
on to know more. Go and see IT,
after all, they aren't the things that

TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.
Fifty.seventh chapter-continued.

Fitty seventh Chapter-Contlnued.
Father Dan was dreadfully dis
tressed. More than once while / was
speaking he crossed himself and said,
Lord and His Holy Mother love u.s."
and when l came to an end he began
to reproach himself for everything,
saying that he ought to have known
that our lad (meaning MARTINI did
not write those terrible letters with
out being certain they were true, and
that from he first day my husband
came to our parish the sun had been
darkened by his shadow.
But take care" he said, I've told
nobody about the compact we made
with your husband-nobody but our
Blessed Lady herself--and you
mustn't think of that as way out
of your marriage. No, nor of any
other way. no matter what, which the
world, and the children of the world,
may talk about"
But l can't bear it; | can't bear
it," | cried.
Hush! Hush! Don't say that
my daughter. Think of it as one of
the misfortunes of life which we all
have to suffer. How many poor Wom-
en- have to bear the sickness and pow
erty, mot to speak of the drunken
ness and death, of their husbands!
Do they think they have a right to
run away from all that--to break the
sacred vows of their marriage on ac-
count of it? No, my child, no. and,
neither must you. Some day it will
all come right You'll see it will.
And meantime by the memory Of your
mother-that blessed saint whom the
Lord has made one of His
own.
Then what can | do?"
pray, my child, pray for strength
to bear your trials and to resist all
temptation. Say a rosary for the
Blessed Virgin every morning before
breaking your fast. I'll say rosary,
too. You'll see yet this is only Gods
love for you, and you'll welcome His
holy will"

tones on the landing outside, and be-
fore | could rise from my knees he

Fastest Travel on Record.

The researches made by physicists
of all centuries have proved that the
hertzian waves move with the same
speed as light, that is to say, at about
$4,000 miles a second.
Three French scholars, Mr. Abra-
ham, professor at the Conservatoire
des Arts ct Meters; Major Ferrie and
Mr.. Dufour have, under the auspices
Of the bureau of longitudes, just de
termined the speed of propagation of
the hertzian waves between Paris and
Toulon Part of tAe result has been
calculated, and the speed found is
$4,000 kilometers to the second, with
a difference of less than one per cent
for each determination, in comparison
to the average
They intend to measure this speed
between the EifTel tower and the sta
ton of wireless telegraphy at Wash
ington, while the longitude Of the
capital of the United States is being
determined.
Messrs. Abraham. Dufour and Ferrie
propose to continue their experiments
and to study the speed of the propa-
cation OF hertZian waves between two
points separated by the sea.

Stealing.

Stealing is wholly silly business
office, in a bank, or in any other or
ganized institution, is absolutely lido
tic. There is no surer road to state
prison than TO steal from an organ
lied business; and the larger the bus
mess is the more complicated the bus
mess is, the smaller the possibility
that the thief can avoid that final de-
lection. The thief burrows around in
his little corner very much as mice
make ways Tor themselves under the
floors of storehouse or a dwelling.
Both the thief and the mouse have
it all to themselves for while, and
the thief at least thinks that nobody
knows. But to think such a thing
erations necessarily touch other peO-
pie, for otherwise he would find moth
ing to steal. They complain; the trap
is set for him: and merely by con-
tinuing to steal he walks into it and
is caught, just as the mouse is when
its secret passagevay finally opens
into the room it seeks to enter. The
man who steals once may escape, but
the man who makes a business Of
stealing is as certain to be caught as
he is to live. He has to quit stealing
or to die in order TO avoid being
caught. 1t is a dead sure thing

WONDERED WHY.
Found the Answer Was Coffee"

Many pale, sickly persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer so,
and eventually discover that the drug
-caffeine-in coffee is the main cause
Of the trouble.
Il was always very fond of coffee
and drank it every day. / never had
much flesh and often wondered why /
was always SO pale, thin and weak.
About FIVE years ago my health
completely broke down and / was con-
fined to my bed. My stomach was in
such condition that I could hardly take
sufficient nourishment to sustain life.
During this time / was drinking
coffee, didn't think l could do without
It.
AFTER awhile I came to the conclu-
sion that coffee was hurting me, and
decided to give it up and try Postum
When it was made right-dark and
rich--I soon became very fond of it.
In one week began to feel better
1 could eat more and sleep better. Ny
sick headaches were less frequent, and
within five months ! looked and felt
like a new being, headache spells en-
tirely gone.
My health continued to improve
and today am we'll and strong, weigh
148 lbs. I attribute my present health
to the life-giying qualities of Postum"

Best of Fire Alarm Boxes.

After work extending over two
years, officials of New York city have
devised a fire alarm box which has
been dedicated to the use of New
York without royalty, and it is ex-
pected that the cost under competitive
bidding viii not exceed s45. The
price of fire alarm boxes during the
last several years under competitive
bidding has run from SIS to SITS each
The average price has been 1926 each.
The estimated saving, therefore, will
be $50 a box. The fire department
experts have finished their box just
in time TO meet the needs of the city,
as only six per cent of the boxes are
modern, the rest being obsolete and
many being in an unsafe and even
dangerous condition

ADAPTABILITY OF
SOY BEAN CROP
Irregularities of Season WiIl
Often Cause AftergroWtE1-
Easily Harvested.

Soy beans are very similar To COW
peas with respect to season of growth
and cultural requirements. Since the
two crops occupy the same place in
crop rotation, it is well to contrast
their adaptability, says q bulletin Of
the Delaware station.
Soy beans mature uniformly, the
pods ripening practically at the
same time; cowpeas often bear
ripe PODS and blossoms on the same
plant. Irregularities of season will
frequently cause an aftergrowth OF
the plant, condition which does not
obtain with soy beans. This differ
ence in maturing habit is distinctly
in favor of the soy beans, inasmuch
as the latter may be more easily har-
vested for seed or hay than the COW
peas.
Most varieties of soy beans grow
erect or nearly SO; cowpeas are whey
and bear the pods SO near the ground
that it is less likely to iujure soy
beans-both in the spring ans the fall
when nearly mature-than cowpeas,
which are killed by light forsts
Soy beans are injured less by insect
enemies and plant disease than COW
peas. If cut at the proper stage of
maturity, soy beans make richer
hay than the coWpeas

CALLED FOR MUCH PATIENCE
Making of Arrow Heads Brought Into
Rcquisition Al. the Ar, and
Skill OF tine Indian.

Not ali Indians can make arrow
heads. This art was the special func-
ton of the older and more skillful
men. lshi seems 10 have been close
~ associated with the usual customs,
he preserves many of the more high
ly developed arts and crafts.
In the manufacture of arrow heads,
flint and obsidian were used by the
Yanas
Obsidian is volcanic glass, occur
ring in parts of California in the
shape of dark Opaque powders of
small size. When spIinrered either
by stone maIlets or by another rock
it appears as brownish or dark gray
glass, uneven in color
Ishi breaks these powders by hit
ting them with another rock. Having
obtained fragments varying from TO
4 inches long TO ~ inches wide, and
about quarter of an inch thick, he
is prepared TO fake his haka or heads.
The first fakes are large and free
ly made, calculating to give by wide
transverse lines of cleavage. and to

the point Later these fakes are
smaller and more like finishing touch
es. The tool he now uses is not horn
but iron or soft steel
Smaller tools are made of wire nails
driven into wooden handles inches
b long. These are filed to a fiat round
ed point, something like blunt
screWdriyer.
In working the obsidian this edge
is held vertical to the stone and the
shaft of the taking tool in the plane
Of the left palm. Apparently the soft
metal permits the glass to make a
small dent in it which engages the
two and allows pressure being ap-
piled to the edge to be faxed
AS Ishi develops the form of his
arrowhead to a graceful acute angle,
he changes TO finer taking tool, and
resting the stone on his protected
thumb, he then makes the little linden
tations near the base, which permit
the sinew TO hold the head Of the ar
row. Never once during this process
does he hit or beat the obsidian. No
rough force is required, just patient,
artful dexterity and strength of fir
gers.

SAYING THAT Is
WORTH REPEATING
intelligent Care of Land, Crops
and Animals Is Secret OF
Success in Farming.
tBy II. H. sHEPHARD9


This may have been said before, but
it is worth repeating: You cannot get
something for nothing, even at farm
ing, although they say that crops grow
while the farmer sleeps. SO do the
weeds. and the animals grow hungry
between night and morning. lntelli-
gent care of land, crops and animals
is the secret Of success in farming.
And if anything else should be added,
1t lis that the farmer must be intensely
In love with his work. He must see
good things in the farming line in all
Of his visions.
Don't simply show your wife and
children money in your pocketbook aft
er making a good sale. That is mean
and wicked They helped to make
that money as we'll as you. Give them
a part of 1t now to spend in their own
way while you can see them enjoy it.
and perhaps share in their joy. If you
save it for the children TO spend after
you are dead-you know the rest, but
you won't know it then.
Cement is cheap this year, but with
it and sand and gravel you can make
some of the most valuable things on
the farm. A good rule TO make on the
farm is that OF building something Of
concrete every fall and spring. By
and by. with little money end labor
your farm will become substantially
improved and these Improvements will
outlast you and your grandchildren. 1t
is not economy to construct with any
material that is not efficient and per
manent.
There is one reason at least why
every farmer should own a gasoline en-
CINE, and that is that the boys like to
see it work and they learn many good
things from it. The farm boy as rule
takes naturally to machinery, especial
ly anything that moves and has the
get up and go" about it. And the
small gasoline engine has them all
beaten in this line full country
block They teach farm mechanics in
the schools, but why not make it pos
sible for the boys to learn some me-
chanics first hand before leaving the
farm?
About the funniest thing we have
seen lately was city woman wearing
a hobbIe skirt trying 10 get in and out
of CUR farm wagon. The assistance of
two able-bodied men and one woman
was required in the operation.
City-bred men are moving onto the
farm in real good faith and bouyant
hopes. Some of them will have as
much to learn as the old-time farmers
who went TO the city a few years ago
and put nickles into the slots of cable
car tracks. 1t is about an even tie be
tween the city man and the farmer
when it comes to an examination on
general facts in special lines Neither
scores the one hundred points mark
A very saving and economical man
