The Oldest Welshman in the world
L. Mr.. Thomas Morris, who lives at
Westernville, Neb. Although he Is
row an American citizen, he was born
q subject of George III, at the little
village of Berriew, Montgomeryshire.
on January 15, 1874. He is therefore
one hundred and twenty years old
His father was an agricultural la
borer and died when the boy was three
years old. Morris was apprenticed to
a cobbler and followed his trade In
this country until 1871. when. at the
age OF seventy-nine. he emigrated to
America.
The old man is very proud of the
fact that he has lived In three CEN
turtles. He remembers the union OF
Great Britain and Ireland, the assassi-
nation OF President Lincoln and the
laying OF the first Atlantic cable.
Morris can still walk with the aid
of stick and see with the aid of

after passing his hundredth birthday.

applied in a correct manner.
Farmers lose from sl.50 to $500
per hundredweight by not docking
and castrating their lambs. Stag NUT
ton has peculiar taste, and Is un-
desirable; packers do not like to han
die them. and for this reason cut
prices heavily.
Lambs should not be docked and
castrated at one operation. Castrate
when about a week old, and six or
seven days later dock by using the hot
pinchers. Do the castrating on a
clear. bright morning.
At IL to IA days the lamb begins to
eat with its mother at the feed-trough.

Locomotive Engineer Made Quite

Two commercial travellers while in
train got into an argument over

traveller
Wrong, wrongl" shouted the sec

Then when the train arrived at the
station they agreed to submit the mat
ter for settlement to the engineer.
That gentleman, leaning condescend-
ingly from his cab, listened with an
attentive frown to the two travellers
statements of their argument. Then
he smiled, shook his head and said:
We'll, gents. ye're both wrong
about the workin' of the vacuum
brakes. Yet It's very simple and easy
to understand. When we want to stop
the train we Just turn this valve and

A Husbands Secret.

A man who bought a new suit of clothes
al one OF the establishments that sell a
large quantity OF ready-made clothing dis
covered that the trousers Of the suit con-
tained an extra pocket which aroused his
curiosity. II was small. about the size Of
a watch pocket. and opened on the inside
OF the right-hand trousers pocket. making
IL invisible as far as outward appearance
went. At the top Of the little pocket
there was stif material which kept II
closed, so that on putting ones hand IN
the large pocket the little one would
not be found unless its presence was
known.
Something new. isn't it?'' the customer
asked the salesman.
Yes. that's come into style since the
wer created a shortage OF loose change"
was the reply. "A person making a hur-
ried search through the pockets for pin
money has no luck at all when the owner
OF the suit uses this pocket-unless she
hears something jingle. Best plan is to
wrap your change up in a dollar bill"
The customer paid for the suit and left
orders for the clothes to be delivered to
him at a bachelors apartment house up

Quite Another Story.

According to the eminent Marquand professor oi
art at Princeton University, we have made =
shocking exposition of our national ignorance anc
at the same time inflicted an objectionable injury
upon the German Empire by confusing the Teutonic
word 'kultur" with our English culture" "Kul.
tur" it appears, is in the equivalent of "cu
ture and does not even include it within the scope
of its meaning. a
"Kutur" is the comprehensive term for the high
est development of general national efficiency in its
broadest sense-supreme achievement in finance
commerce industrial effort and more especially per-
haps, pre-eminence in military potency Literature
art, and all purely ethical values are of secondary
consideration "Kultur" in fact, according to Prof
Mather, is almost precisely the opposite of culture
"A person of culture lacks the intensity push, and
narrowness of viewpoint which make for competitive
superiority.
As further illustration of the vast difference in
meaning between these two Gke-sounding words
Prof Mather points out that >nations with merely
cultured leaders usually beaten in war BY those
whose generals are provided with liberal equip
ment of 'kultur" The Spartans and Macedonians
had 1eutur "to burn" and they usually worsted the
Athenians, who had culture" only to sustain them
In like sense, Germany possesses abundant 'kul-
tnr but that does not insure her even an ordinary
supply Of culture" which is really of little account
in war to the death.
"Bildung." we are informed is the German word

Most recent among the discoveries which are

1t seems to me that If war is TO be stopped the
spirit of war among men must first be kept in check.
If not altogether destroyed One of the most pathetic
features of this war makes all pathetic, the
conviction of each warrior that he is fighting for the
right and the conviction of each member of the war
ring nations that his nation is fighting for the right
Traced to its origin it is plain enough that such con-
vction comes from egotism. Every man is justified
from his point of view" Moreover, this kind
of egotism is systematically cultivated 1t is made to
seem fine thing Those lacking in it would be con-
sidered either weak or positively wicked. At this
time it is almost impossible to conceive of the Ger
man who believes that the French in the right or
a Frenchman who believes the Germans are in the
right To be able to take detached, impartial point
of view in great crisis IS Of course, one of the most
valuable of human assets But how many can show
that they possess it where their personal sympathes
are involved?

Among the first lessons given to children are les
sons in egotism By nature little egotists themselves
clamorng for susenance and for their way, they
see about them people who continually express
ing egotism in form another. Repeatedly sub
jected to punishment as they are, they soon learn
to punish. As they grow old enough to play with
dolls they treat the dolls much they themselves
treated Often they punish the dolls with great sever
ity, by shaking and by slapping and by spanking They
will even punish animals in their power, like dogs
and cats The Furnishing instinct, closely allied
with egotism, ready to make egotistical express
sions is made to thrive by the example of the world
On all sides the furnishing goes on, sometimes covert
ly, sometimes openly, nearly always in the name Of
right. In school children carefully taught that
their country has punished another country for the
sake of right For their supposed edihcaton history
is shamefully distorted.
