From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Give girl the right kind of present and she'll forgive your past.
 All men are free and equal. That's why one man balls out the barkeep be- cause the beer isn't cold enough and the other man balls out the barkeep because the beer is too cold.
 A man imagines that he is as brave as woman. But did you ever hear of a man who married a woman to reform her?
 The old fashioned woman who used to shoot her husband now has a daughter who shoots her husbands affinity.
 Before marriage he tells her he would die for her. After marriage he demon- strates that he never had any intention of working himself to death for her
 It doesn't take long to tell a man what you think of him, but it often takes several weeks to recover from the effects.
 Half the world seems to spend it's time talking about Itself to your face and the other half seems to spend it's time talking about you behind your back.
 When a girl knows she has curves she is going to wear that kind of clothes, and that settles 1t.
 1t is just as well to remember that if the umpire could see the plays better from the bleachers he would be sta- tioned there and not behind the plate.

Sensitive Stock Market

The New York Stock exchange, like Nll the bourses of Europe, was thrown into a panicky condition Tuesday by Austria's declaration of war. There was a sharp decline in railroad and industrial shares, but there was quick recovery yesterday when the cable dispatches indicated that the war would probably remain localized, that is to say, would be confined to Aus tria- Hungary and Servia. The dis matches from St. Petersburg last night, however, makes the situation graver than ever, and bad stock marget may be expected today.
 Among business men in the United States there is now decided tendency toward optimism. The bumper crops make for business prosperity, and un- less the European situation should continue to grow worse, business improvement on this side of the At lantic will continue even if the stock exchange should become now and then paralyzed. The New York stock mar ket has had more than it's share of bad luck. Sensitive to all sorts of outward influences, just as it was showing signs of life rumors of war or political rumors have come to check confidence and unsettle the tone of the market.
 Comparatively few people outside of the Wall Street district have any prac- tical interest in stock speculation, but the stock market has very intimate relations with the banking world, and the business public, therefore, pays attention to the market reports as it would to any other business barome- ter. Looking at the bright side, if a war scare sends the stock market down and creates a panicky feeling among those who buy and sell on the exchange, then conversely when it is all over-and European war cannot last long-stocks will soar and the market will be on firm basis once more.
 In the fall when the enormous volume of crop money is in circula- ton the war between Austria Hun gary and Servia will, it is believed, be ended and by the business world for got. At any rate a new era of pros- perity in this country will be full fledged within the next few weeks.

shows. The farmers have also adopted a policy of giving their sons work ing interest in the farms, plan which more than anything else will tend to keep the young men attached to the soil.
 In other ways, too, efforts are be- ing made by far-sighted farmers to discount the fatal Vaccinations" of the city. With the ubiquitous picture show, a band, dance hall and other urban attractions within easy walk ing distance, there is no reason why the up-to-date farm hand should not contrive to lead giddy life, regaling himself after the evening chores with a film drama" or dancing the hesita- ton with some fair dairymaid for lis partner.

Virginia. Prohibition Cnmp.Iuu

"A well informed Vrginian writes me that two weeks ago many local opton- ists had virtually given up the fight against statewide prohibition, but that the result of the election in Texas had changed the feelne.' said a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 He says that the local optonists are very much encouraged and that the Anti Saloon 1eaguers are correspondingly dis couraged. Although l have spent a good deal of time in Virginia, I have not kept ap closely with its statewide prohibition campaign. The question of making the entire state dry is to be submitted to the voters in September. What made it look as if the statewide side would win was the monster petition that was signed in favor of submitting the question to the people. Enough names were on that peti- tion to insure overwhelming major ity for the statewide proposition, but have been in politics enough to know that many men will sign anything. It is safe to say that one-third of the voters who signed for statewide submission will vote the other way"

Combating the City's Lure

The good people of Allen county, Kansas, are firm believers in reel procity. They also believe that mak- ing life on the farm attractive is the best way to keep their boys and girls from migrating to town. They have started a series of unique entertain ments to which their town cousins are Invited. Shady trees, fields of grain, <ool breezes, band concerts and boun- teous country fare provided by house. wives who know how to cook are some of the agreeable features of these s<country parties." They are serving to promote good fellowship between the town residents and the country resi- dents, while at the same time the farmers are proving to the satisfaction of everybody concerned that all the pleasure to be had isn't bottled up in towns and cities.
 The idea of giving these entertain ments was first suggested by the need of doing something to keep boys and girls on the farms. In state where there is labor famine every year stout youths and buxom maidens who stay on the farms and help in the har- vest work can make themselves much more useful than they would be in town. On town man who owns a farm ;n Kansas has announced that he NDl give free moving picture

suIrcAsEs BY PARCEL POST

SOIIOASES ID II INotAhh OSA From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 If you are going to the country and want to lend a few gray hairs to the heads of Postmaster William E. Kelly and Albert P. Kuck. superintendent of mails at the Brooklyn postoffice, just ship your suitcase to its destination by parcel post. Or better still. after you get there, fill it with laundry and send it to the city to have the things done up and returned to you. Everybody s doing it.
 According to Superintendent Kuck, the practice of sending clothes and linen to and from the city to be laundered and returned has grown to be quite a fad. Every two hours there are between 20 and 30 suitcases received at the main postoffice in Brooklyn for parcel post shipment. The low cost at which ship ments can be made to hundreds of vaca- tionists, the charge for any point within radius of 150 miles being only five cents for the first pound and one cent for each additional pound up to 50. An empty suitcase weighs about four of five pounds, and when full about 35 or 40 pounds.

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF RICHARD BAXTER

terpretations made reference to MT. Hammond.
 "Polexfen," said Chief Justice Jeffres, T know you well; will set mark upon you; you are the patron of the faction. This is the old rogue who is poisoning the world with his Kiddermunster doc Urine; an old schismatical knave. hy- pocritical vil;aini"
 I beseech your lordship," said Pol lexfen, suffer me word for my client. +: is well known to all intelligent men of this nation that these things do not apply to the character of MT. Baxter, who wishes s,s well to the King and the royal family as any one in the kingdom, and my lord, MT. Baxters loyal and reaceable spirit, King Charles would have rewarded with 9 bishopric when he came in if he would have conformed"
 Aye! aye,' said the judge, i've know that; but what ailed the old bloclxhead, the unthankful villain that he would not conform? Was he wiser and better than other men?" In vain 1t was urged by an- other counsel that Baxter used no lan- guage but that of respect in speaking of English bishops.
 Baxter attempted to speak in his own behalf, but a violent outbreak of abuse silenced him. Many of the bystanders were ill tears, and this miserable scene of brcw-beating and injustice at last came to an end. Does your lordship,' said Baxter, think that any jury would pre- tend to pass a verdict upon me after such trial?" "I'll warn you, MT. Baxter said Jeffries, ''dont you trouble yourself about that"
 The jurors chosen by the partisan sher- ifs from strong opponents of the prisoner went through farce of deliberations for minute or two. and returned Baxter guilty. There were clergymen ready to testify to his merits as a divine and the lover of peace, but they were not al, lowed to be heard. When the verdict was rendered the chief justice was unmoved and it is believed that he had actually pro- posed to his brethren that the man should be whipped through the streets at a carts tail The scandal, however, of such sentence was prevented by the three judges who sat with Jefferies on the berch.
