not make a date TO call on me. but
several nights later my sisters
friends told me that the young man
wanted to call on me on a certain
night and said that he was too
bashful the first night to make a
date. l told him / thought 1t was
his place to make one on the first
night and l did not make dates
through other people. Do you think

TWO KINDS OF A GOOD TINE.

In a great city, few evenings ago,
there was opened for the first time a
vast public garden"
It's latticed walls glittered with
many colored electric lights.
An orchestra played and fair wom-
en- sang and at tables thousands ate,
drank and were merry-a merriment
beginning in natural fellowship but
gaining in voltage under the stimu-
lus of alcohol until in many instances
it ended in flushes or stupor and
headaches next morning.
AS the ice in the glasses clinked
and the corks popped and the cabaret
performers sang or danced while the
musicians played, rouged women
smiled or flashed their jewels and
bored men frightened to the lures
of their appetites.
They were having that most expen-
sive of luXuries, with many grown to
be periodical necessity, "a good
time"
They were buying pleasure.
On the same evening, blocks away,
in a hospital, a wan baby lay near
unto death, it's little pulse beating
feebly, it's weakened blood just rich
enough to keep up faint spark OF
life.
The doctor, bending over the little
bed, took count of the ebbing pulse
and saw that something desperate
would have to be done if the life OF
the waif were not to flicker out.
He turned to the nurse and asked
Are you game?"
A nod was her hushed response.
Tehereupon the doctor reached fol
an instrument, opened vein, tapped
the rich life current of the nurse and
let into the child's white body &
warm stream of first-class blood.
The experiment succeeded. The
child rallied and recovered. Nurse
and doctor together had saved pre-
cious life.
They, too, had a good time.
Perhaps a better time than those
folks in the gaudy garden"
For instead of buying deceitfu
pleasures they rendered unselfisl
service.

YOURS FOR HEALTH.

One of the large life insurance
companies now permits any Of its
policyholders to go when he will to
the nearest company doctor and get
himself examined.
If it isn't convenient to go in per-
son he can send to the home office
for directions how to have an exam
ination made by mail.
The idea is that frequent examina-
tions may save funeral expenses and
thus be of mutual advantage. lnas-
much as the company prefers a live
risk to a dead one, it is willing to
foot the bill.
Doesn't it occur to you that If this
is a good investment for a profit
making insurance company it would
be equally good for everybody?
Why shouldn't Uncle Sam do It
too?
Through his agricultural depart
ment or in other ways he examines
cows for tuberculosis, cereals for
blight, cotton for the boil weevil and
trees for moth pests.
Surely the health of man, WON
an or child is of at least equal Inn
portance.

THE VALUE OF FRANKNESS.

Dispatches from the London stock
exchange reported a black week in
all American railroad securities.
The Englishmen had been reading the
Interstate Commerce Commission S
report on the New Haven road. They
regarded it as typical picture Of
American financial methods.
How shall the railroads and other
corporations regain public confidence
at home and abroad? Here is ques-
tion to which business men should
apply themselves, regardless whether
they feel that the government has
or has not been fair and just in its
treatment of the roads.
Certain men are born diplomatists.
They are always playing a game
Their creed is, What people don't
know won't hurt them" They rarely
show up on their heads.
If railroad managers of that type
buy up a lot of competing trolle!
lines they give the excuse that thu
trolleys will be valuable to their bus
mess as feeders" But probably tn,
real reason is that they want mo
nopoly.
Undue publicity often hurts bust
ness enterprises. But the diplomat
lists do not escape publicity by thei
indirections. They underestimate sa
gacity of the people with whom the
deal. Their real motives may be ap
parent. Their plans and purposes ar
well known, but doubt is cast owe
their own sincerity.
For this reason it is often the fin
est diplomacy to show up your hahd
If the public can guess your han
from your play it is foolish to try t
conceal it.
The railroads have been blame
for many acts that public sentimen
did not condemn at the time the
were committed. 1t is only fair t
say that the great majority of raj
road managers have abandoned darl
lantern methods and have succeede
in winning back much public conf
dence that was lost. London
wrong il it thinks the New Have
story fairly typifies American flnanc
today.

DODGING BECOMES TEDIOUS.

Chairman Henry of the rules COM
mittee is staying in Texas to dodge
the woman suffragists, and poor
Representative Pou of North Caro-
lima, the next ranking member of the
committee, is having the most un-
pleasant time of his life by reason of
his responsibilities as acting chair
man. There is quorum of the COM
mittee in Washington and the women
see no reason why the committee
should not come together as per its
promise and vote on pending busi-
ness. At the last committee meeting
it was agreed and announced that the
committee at its next meeting would
vote whether to have rule provid-
ing for a vote on the prohibition
amendment as we'll as the woman
suffrage amendment. The date set
for this meeting and vote was June
81. BY carefully avoiding holding
any meeting the vote has thus far
been successfully lodged But the
lodging operation is becoming te-
dious hot weather occupation.

Personalities.

Keep clear of personalities in gen.
eral conversation. Talk of things,
objects, thoughts. The smallest minds
occupy themselves with personalities.
Personalities must sometimes be
talked, because we have to learn and
find out mems characteristics for le-
gitimate objects; but it is to be with
confidential persons. Do not need
lessly report i'll of others. There are
family boards where constant pro-
cess of depreciating, assigning mo-
tives and cutting up of character goes
forward. There are no pleasant
places. One who is healthy does not
wish to dine at a dissecting table.
There is evil enough in man, God
knows; but it is not the mission Of
every young man or woman to detail
and report of it. Keep the atmos-
phere as pure as possible, and fra
grant with gentleness and charity.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Our Advice to the Boys.
;::.t:::.:::..::::.:.:;t....::.:..:

Boys, did you ever know, or can
you call to mind, single person who,
having his own way to make in the
world, spent his time in the streets,
in billiard saloons, around hotels, or
in any form of dissipation or idleness,
to succeed in life in an eminent de-
gree in any enterprise? Look over
your list of friends and acquaintance
and note their course. Do you not
find on examination that those who
today are men of influence and honor
were the youths who made the most
of their valuable time, turning it to
good account? And on the other
hand do you not find those who stood
on the corners with a cigar or pipe
in their mouth went from bad to
worse, from worse to ruin? Sadly
must the answer be made-they have
failed, Will you not profit by their
example? Fix your eyes on some
noble object-be man.

OF LIMITED VALUE.

DR.. Evans. the health man, is
probably correct in saying that hun
ger contractions of the stomach can
be stimulated or stopped by direct
ing the mind to them or keeping
the mind occupied with something
else"
You can stop 'em by absent-mind-
edness for a time.
But don't be too saEguine about
thought transference as a substitute
for meat and potatoes.
The old darky got his mule to go
without food for quite a while. But
Just as he thought the habit had be-
come permanent the critter up and
died.

THE KANSAS CALL.

Her grain is standing in the field
And only waits for harvesting.
The bank account and auto yield
Is ready for the gathering,
So with insistent loud demands
Hear Kansas calling now for hands.
The poor are poor, the rich are rich,
The world with discomfort is sick,
But Kansas does not care for sich,
She does not call for feet to kick,
But up and down through all the
lands
Rings out her lusty cry for hands.
The world is full of untried schemes,
But Kansas means to let them lag ;
She has prosperity, not dreams,
She does not call for tongues to
wag,
So over all the hills and strands
Her holler comes for hands,
HANDS, HANDS.

If YOU WANT TO BE FAIR.

The fan in the grandstand was
sure the umpire had misjudged the
play.
"G'wan, you're rotten!" he yelled
at the top of his voice.
The fan was two hundred feet be-
hind and seventy-five feet to one side
of the base where the slide occurred.
Whereas, the umpire was on the spot.
Moreover, the fan was prejpdiced
whereas the umpire was simply doing
days work, without a thought OF
favoritism.
The moment the fan blurted out
his censure other fans joined in and
soon the whole crowd was bawline
the umpire out.
And, at that, the ump was right
The runner himself admitted it af-
ter the game.
To be sure, fans pay their money
partly for the fun of batting the UNI
pire, rightly or wrongly, and his pay
is in proportion.
At the same time, it isn't very
good example of fair. play.
Unless you're dead sure you know
more about the equities of a play
than the expert, who is there to de-
eide, perhaps it would be just as well
to temper disappointment with toler.
ance.
Which applies to more things than
baseball.

Catch the sunshine, don't be
grieving," is the way the song Of our
childhood runs, and we have found II
much better to sing in our soul than
to grieve in our hearts. True, Oft
times the burdens and trials of life
pierce like a swift flying arrow, but
how the sting is alleviated by letting
the sunshine in. Catch it, absorb 1t,
and it will tighten and warm and
console.

Is not the happiest man or woman
the most successful in the highest
sense of the word? Given the COM
forts of life, is anything more desir-
able than the sunshine of a happy
home, where a loving wife and
merry, happy children abide, and
where friends congregate for cheer
full, inspiring association? Industry
and temperance and courage will
bring to any man the comforts of life.
Add to this kind heart and gen.
erous, tactful consideration toward
all men and life is complete.

1t is always pleasant to be remem-

certainly ought to realize this, and
yet they miss many opportunities to
give happiness to another at slight
cost TO themselves.
