War Had No Terror For Him

Il can't understand how it is" said
the natty lieutenant, that you are
able to be so calm"
why shouldn't 1 be calm?" replied
the beautiful girl who had found
temporary refuge upon the mighty
warships, relates the Chicago Record
Herald.
81 should think the firing of our
guns would brighten you. Even men
who are not used to them generally
exhibit signs of terror, or, at least, of
nervousness. They don't appear to
disturb you at ALL
Oh, no. don't mind them. You
see have become accstuomed to such
sounds. That's one of the advantages
of living where an automobile back
fires every few minutes"

WHEN A WOMAN SHOPS

A lady ambles to a store
To buy spool of thread,
At first she looks at hats galore
Then carving knives and bread.
From there she travels to the aisle
Where davenports are kept,
And then she fingers for while
Around the ribbon kept.
She looks at frying pans and lace,
Inspects the latest books,
She prices lotions for the face
And linen goods and hooks.
And when she's canyassed all the
joints
And clerks are nearly dead,
She brings the matter to a point
And buys a spool of thread.

FIVE MINUTES WITH
THE FUNNY FELLOWS
Among Friends

He apparently had been visiting and
was going to the terminal station on
the way home, says the Philadelphia
Record. He had conversed freely with
all the strangers in tongue-shot of
himself on the. Broad Ripple car,
making himself confidently at home.
Umbrella in one hand and bag in the
other even as the burlesquers who get
money for portraying him as he usual
ly isn't, he warily dismounted from the
car at Washington and Illinois streets,
being the first off. He looked about
him cautiously.
The corner cop waved in that easy,
friendly manner common to corner
cops.
And then other passengers, dis
counting behind the man from the
country, passengers who had enjoyed
his monologue for half an hour, were
convulsed at his last words:
by guh, didn't suppose I'd sea
anybody that'l know me up here. Who
is that Teller out there wavin' at me ="
And he waved hack at the cop.

A WOMAN'S COMPLAINT


= = y y = 4 4 4 \ \ y y
I know that deep within your heart Of
hearts,
You hold me shrined apart from
common things,
And that my step, my voice, can bring
to you
A gladness that no other presence
brings.
And yet, dear love, through all the
weary day,
You never speak one word of tender
ness,
Nor stroke my hair, nor softly clasp
my hand
Within your own, in loving mute
! caress.
You think, perhaps, I should be all
content
To know so well the loving place 1
hold
Within your life, and so you do mo-
dream
How much 1 long to hear the story
told.
You cannot know when we two sit
alone,
+ And tranquil thoughts within your
mind are stirred,
My heart is crying like tired child
For one fond look, one gentle, low.

1t may be when your eyes look int
mine,
You often think, How dear she is
to me-"
Oh, could l read it in your softened
glance,
How radiant this plain old world
would be!

The Value OF Our Agriculture

the agricultural department at Wash
ington;
The Department of Agriculture does
some of its best work in protecting us
against pests. Many Of them, like the
gypsy moth, the chestnut blight, the
scale insects, the boil weevil, the al
falfa weeyil, and others, have slipped
in in spite Of vigilance, and, like the
English sparrow, have found in a
new field freedom from their old en-

Fair Warming.

Some time ago a woman cast covet-
Gus eyes on a fur coat and other toys
to match. That evening when her hus-
band came home from his daily toll ne
was met with request to make 4
large hole in his bank account. His
face took on shocked expression that
looked like CONSERVATION, and then he
said that he simply couldn't do it.
why can't you do it," came the
time-honored logimal response OF
WHEY. Don't you suppose that l
have got to have things to wear?"
yes, dear" meekly returned the
old man, but l have a note for $500
that must be met Immediately"
"All right, Mr.. Smith," answered
wiley, with significant glance. "If
you think the man who holds your note
can make things any hotter for you
than can, go ahead and pay him"

A BEAUTY HINT
New Orleans States.)

An authority gives the following adj
vice to girls who would choose to be
beautiful:
For giving the face a good color,
get one pot of roupe and one rabbit
foot. Bury them two miles from home
and walk out and back once a day to
see if they are still there.
Whole volumes could not have sail
more.
These days women and girls are too
prone to droop languidly about their
boudoirs afraid of fresh air and sun
shine, sleeping too much, eating too
little, and exercising not at all.
The idea conveyed in the above par
agraph is to get in the open and walk
two miles out and two miles back ev-
cry day in order to derive the benefit
of the exercise.
In cities especially women, and men,
too, for that matter, do not get half
enough exercise. Nobody walks enough
except bill collectors and postmen. If
awoman wants to go two blocks, as a
rule she'll take street car or, if she
has one, a motor car.
Lord knows what they'd do for exer-
else if it wasn't for the tango. That's
as near as most of them ever come 20
exercising. But that is done in L
crowded ball room or dance hall when
ii should be done out in the open.
The average girls idea of violent ex-
ercise these days consists in sitting in
hammock, munching bon bons, and
reading Bobby Chambers latest kiss
novel. OF course the perusal of any
one of Bobby's late books is pretty
violent exercise (for the heart) but it
doesn't help the arms and muscle and
lungs any. 1t really leaves one all out
of breath, especial yif one be a rom
antic, dreamy maid.
Other girls go to the seaside and re-
fuse men until they are all out of
breath and call it exercise. But that
is also bad for the heart. 1t doesn't
help the muscles any.
The modern girl might get out the
broom once in while and sweep the
porch off for mother, but she neve'
does. If mother so far forgets herself
as to even hint at such thing daugh-
ter sweeps the porch with an angry
glance. .. v
You don't see many women riding
horseback any more like they used .
do. That was good, healthful exercise,
but the custom seems to have become
obsolete, or at least obsolescent.
Nothing was finer in the old days
than to see a young woman mounted
on good horse dashing away in the
early morning through fragrant coun-
try lanes, while the dew sparkled like
diamonds upon the grass and trees and
the birds sang liquid melodies and the
brook laughed while the wind blew the
lrcses into her cheeks. Take more ex-
.ercise, girls, even if you have to burr
a rabbit foot two miles away.

Earning a LiOing on a Single
Acre
Exchange.

In the current issue of Farm AM
Fireside Charles A Byers writes an in
teresting article in which he shows
how certain farmers in California are
making comfortable living from an
acre, Following is an extract from the
article:
Sometimes lot will be planted ex-
clusively to some one vegetable or to
marketable flowers, but in most cases
a variety Of garden truck is grown. AS
an illustration, the tiller of a half
acre lot at Monte Vista during the
past season tells me that he planted
potatoes, sweet corn, peas, three kinds
of beans, cucmbers, melons, sqashu
Several varieties), tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, let
tuce, and kale. Rotation of crops is
carefully planned, and in this way the
productiveness of the soil is utilize /
to the greatest degree.
Many of the farmers devote consid-
cradle attention to raising chickens

cream, and butter produced by the
colonies are supplied by the Toggen-
burg or Nubian goats"

increasing the bag of many sportsmen.

WOLGAST BREAKS ARM
IN FIGHT With Welsh
ny The United Press.

by The United Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Ad Wolgtst
will be forced to remain out of the
ring for an extended period as a re-
suit of his fight with Freddie Welsh
here last night when he broke a bone
in his right forearm. Wolgast met
with the accident in the fifth round,
but continued the fight until Referee
Roche topped the bout at the end of
the eighth.
Although Wolgast fought with old
time fury and endeavored to carry
the battle to close quarters, Welsh
was clearly the master of the situa-
ton. He held AID off and whipped
over right and left books at will.
Wolgast kept boring In even after his
right arm had been put out of COM
mission and fighting with only one
hand, put up game exhibition. The
accident to the former champion
came just after he had broken out OF
clinch. He jumped in the air and
swung heavy downward blow
Welsh jerked his face out of the way
and Wolgast' forearm struck him
across the back of the head.
