their heads and have no control ovss
their acts.
It is not an easy thing to carry q
level head through life The majority
of mistakes which bring failure and
disgrace are made when people lose
their selfpoise and fail to use good
judgment.
One OF the most difficult things for
young man to do is to keep level
head. 1t is SO easy to lose ones bal
ance, to get a ''swelled head over a
little prosperity. to lose ones am
bition for forging ahead by raise in
salary. A little ease and comfort are
great tempters, great destroyers of
ambition.
! 1t is a difficult thing to keep a level
head when the storms OF temptation
and financial difficulties are raging
about one; but it is easier than in
prosperity. There is something in
human nature which braces up
against adversely, which stiffens up
when the world goes hard and makes
one tug the harder; but somehow
ease, comfort and the thought of
prosperity take the spring out of the
ambition. The motive to push ahead
to struggle, to strive, is usually
weakened by the feeling of satisfac-
ton that one has achieved something
worth while, that he has gained what
he started out to get.

Unsanltary Country.

According TO the National Council OF
Education and the American Medical
association. country school children
are from 10 TO 20 per cent less healthy
than city school children. Some of the
reasons are that tightly closed doors
and windows and poor lighting are
more usual IN the country than in
cities; that country chldren's teeth
are not properly cared for; they often
do not get suitable luncheons. and

REDMOND'S NOBLE SENTIMENT

John Redmond, the Irish leader,
in manifesto issued recently, gives
expression to noble sentiments. He
declares that the Irish people appre-
ciate the fact that the British democ-
racy have decided to give them back
their national liberties; that Ireland
has promised that concession of lib

friendship and good will, and that
Ireland would be false to her history

In the burdens and sacrifices Of the

A Dire Threat.

At a county fair in a small inland
city several hundred men were Ell

which was rapidly being inflated with
hot air The smallest man of the lot
looked about him nervously, and then
yelled at the top of his voice:

A few moments later the little man
bawled:

NEW PAPAL SECRETARY OF STATE

Cardinal Domenico Ferrata, secre.

Office, whom the new Pope Benedict
XIV has appointed secretary of state,
is regarded as the member of the
Sacred college best fitted to occupy
thls Office, second only in Importance
ana influence to that Of the papacy
user just at this time, because of the
heaVy burden resting upon the Vati-
can due to the war. He succeeds Car
dlnal Merry Del Val, secretary under
Pope Plus X.
Cardinal Ferrata has had a diplo,
matte influence such as comes to few
OF the college of cardinals. He has
had exceptional experience in ecclesi-
astlcal matters, and he has always
manifested a friendly disposition to-
ward the leading statesmen of Italy
and the reigning house of Savoy. His
choice of secretary is most pleasing
to the Italian government, and it is
prophesied he may do much to heal
the breach between il and the Vatican.

PRACTICAL HEAD OF RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT

The government of Russia is prac-
tically in the hands Of Prime Minister
Goremykin. When he was made
prime minister, February 10 Of the
present year, the rumors of approach
ing war began to spread In every cap
ital OF Europe. Goremykin has for
many years been one Of the leaders
of the Nationalist party in Russian
politics. The Nationalist stand for
Pan-Slavism. They are the bitter foes
of the Pan-Germanic doctrine which
unites the Teutous OF Germany and
Austria. The Nationalist of Russia
have. for some time. been openly in
favor OF a war which would make
the Slavs supreme in Europe and
check the growing encroachments OF
the Teutons In the Slav territory OF

POLL THEATRE

"Au Ladies' Bil1,'' at Polls, the first

 with a rush at the opening perform ances yesterday. In addition to offer ing one of the biggest novelties ever seen on 8 vaudeville stage, the ''AIl Ladies' Bdll' iS one of exceptional mer- i 1t in an entertainment way.
 l LalIa Salbin1, sthe most beautifully formed woman in vaudevi1le,'' has a i variety act that embodies "a little bdt of everything" Cycling, dancing, sing ing, cartooning and a. few other
 stunts" are all done so well as to entitle her to the sobriquet of s.the fe- male Sylvester Schaffer. Mile .Sal-
 bini, too, is of a very charming person ality and immediately wins favor. Miss Ethel Clifton, formerly of the Poli Players, and a very capable com pany present a very gripping dramatic sketch called Saints and Sinners z ! The play Is a chapter out of real life and is most pleasingly presented.
 The Military Maids present very stirring musical elrit, in which daintily 4togged misses give some pleasing in- strumental and vocal numbers. Baby Roslyn, a child prodigy in character songs and dances, is one of the hits ! of the bill. and McManus and Don Carlos, with the afd of a piano, en- gtertain in a happy manner with 8 rep ertoire of welI-seIected song numbers. Vivian Merr1HsS trained cockatooS round out the bill in a happy and novel iiway.
 What is termed by thosS who saw { it yesterday, the best dramatic motion picture ever seen here is "The Thief,'' featuring Dorothy Donnelly, the tall ented emotional actress who created Madame X." The play is produced in five parts and the photography as well as the dramatic action Is of the best. The story of '-The Thief'' is we'll known. In order to win and keep the love of her husband, Mime. Vosyn steals from her best friend to buy fine clothes. The latters step-son, who is infatuated with ''the Thief" attempts to shield her when detectives are pl1e on the trail. Around this plot is wr1r- ten a drama of intense and gripping interest.

Investing in Savings Banks

Interest is being expressed in the coming one shundredth anniversary of the first American savings bank, which was started 9s years ago in Philadel- phia- These banks have had a mar vellous growth, with deposits today totalling nearly five billions of money
 The development of savings banks is matter of great public importance, from tfie fact that so many people know so little about securities. If small investors lose their little capf- tai, they conclude that they might just as well spend their money and get the good of it, as to lay it away incompetence. This discourages thrift restricts the development of the coun- try, besides causing no end of person al suffering.
 The savings bank near home is apt to be the safest investment. It comes down largely to a case of the per sonality of the men. Any intelligent workingman can form a general. inn pression as to the ability and efficiency of the officers in charge of a bank in his own neighborhood. A small bank near home, handled by men of pru- dence and common sense, is a safer risk for the small investor than some bigger institution miles away. The distant bank may have grander pillars and finer marble. But it may be in the hands of hnanciers who are play ing the stock market, or who have large and hopeless ideas about doubt full securities.
