STOPPED LOSS OF PENNIES
kewsman's Peculiar System Of "Bsi-
ancing His Books" Proved
Most Effective.

1t was after the rush hour on the
sunied his chair. the newsman had fin
ished tying up his unsold papers, and
save for the lingering clangor OF de-
parting train and the click, now and
then, of a slot machine, quiet reigned.
The commuter was wondering exact
ly how long he would have to wait
before he caught sight of the red and
green lights OF a Bronx express, when
he was startled by loud pounding
noise in the direction of the news
stand. He turned and saw the attend
ant leaning over the sloping top and
banging the boards with might and
main. When he had pounded awhile
in one section he went TO the next
and repeated the performance. The
commuter approached and yentured
question.
What's the matter. my friend" be
said, was business so poor today?"
business poor? Not on your life.
Sales was fine. Why dye ask" Thus
the newsman.
Struck me you might be relieving
your feelings by beating up your
stand"
''Oh that! That's part of my book
keepin' system. When first took this
job / was always short in my change.
/ wasn't careless and couldn't make
out what was the matter till one day
by accident / dropped my bundle OF
papers on the stand. What do you
think? Out rolled about ten pennies
and a dime. They had lodged in the
crevices of the wood after they'd been
thrown down by people rushing for
the train. Every night since | pound
these four sections in order to strike
a balance, and"
The roar of an incoming train
drowned the rest and the man bound
for the Bronx hurried into his car. AS
he peered through the window of the
moving train he saw the newsman

How TO Fight Blind Stag3ers."

Because OF the Widespread prevalence
Of blind staggers, a disease which is
causing the death of thousands of hors-
es. the Department Of Agriculture has
issued i statement outInig methods for
combating the malay.
Urgent appeals Tor assistance have
been received by the deparrm ent from

the disease. These States include Colo
RADIO. Georgia, Kentucky, Louisina, Ma
ryland, Missouri, Nebraska. New Jer-
sey, North Carolina, Oregon, South Car

n past years, according TO the depart

anus ln Texas, Iowa, Kansas and Ne
braska from a disease affecting The ner
vous system, popularity known as blind
staggers, or forage poisoning Kan
sas and Nebraska bore the brunt of the
affection during the past year, but other
States have also suffered seriously. Ad-
oitioual deaths, It is stated, have most
uuuouote ly been due 10 lake cures -
Tue disease, the department says, can
be controlled effectively only by a total
chang OF feed and forage. 1T is quite
obvious, II declares, ''tnat there Is a
direct connection between the green for
aye, exposed pasturage ard newly cut
hay or fodder, which the horses eat and
tins cerebro spinal meningitis, as the di-
seaSe IS known 10 scientists. In fact,
eating OF such forage when conlamlnat-
ed is undoubtedly the most important
cause. over % per cent. of cases of this
disease in Kansas and Nebraska during
the outbreak of 1912 were maintained
under Sch conditions.
Great care, il is urged, should be TAX
en- that horses do not obtain dangerous
forage unknown TO their owners.

Legend Of Glastonbury Thorn.

The Glastonbury thorn. which has
broken tradition by failing to blossom
this Christmas. is said by iconoclastic-
ally minded folk to be only a repre-
sentative of the original thorn, which
was destroyed at the time of the refor.
nation. says recent issue of the Lon
don Chronicle. Glastonbury people,
however, will assure you that what
really happened was that only one Of
the limbs of the tree was felled. and
that when the assailant raised his ak
against the second he was suddenly
struck blind. The legends agree In
tracing the thorn to Joseph of Arima-
thea. But according to one version 1t
sprang from the staff which he stuck
into the ground when tired with trav-
cling. while another has it that he
planted here thorn from the crown
of thorns.

Woman's World.

MY hat goes off to all the splen-
did body of young women who appear
prominently every morning in shop
or office, do their work competently
and without complaining, go home at
night and make or launder their
clothes, and yet somehow keep in
touch with the world movements
around them, with books and music
and the drama. In my lifetime-and
a few years ago called myself young
the miracle has been accomplished.
There never was anything like It be-
fore in any age.
Even the married women are join
ing the ranks. They become interior
decorators; they set up manicuring
establishments; they paint stage seem
cry; they open millinery stores. They
won't be content any longer to sit at
home and do fancy work. And the
men who would win and keep their
affections must be prepared to share
In their numerous interests. The
Century.

COURTESY ALWAYS AN ASSET
Something That Should Not Be For
gotten Even in the Rapidly Of
Modern Life.

One of the minor virtues is to say
thank you" audibly.
A man surrenders his seat to a
woman in a crowded car, and of
course il is no more than his chiyal-
ric duty TO do so. Nevertheless, he
feels mildly resentful when his sacri-
fee is accepted in utter silence, and
the beneficiary flounces into the va
cant place without so much as a
glance at the benefactor.
Similarly, when one has given bar
Der a gratuity amounting to the cost
of the tonsorial operation, it is irri-
tating to have the honorarium pock-
eted as a matter of right, and not as
a gracious concession.
Walters and porters who are anx-
ious TO insure the life of the onerous
practice Of tipping would do we'll to
observe that much of the well-defined
popular resentment OF the custom is
due TO the unappreciative attitude of
the recipient 1t is only human ma.
ture to expect at least civil acknowl-
edgment when we think we have con-
ferred a favor, and many a man who
gives q tip regrets il when his gen.
crosby is accepted without a word.
The practical value of courtesy as
an actual business asset is coming to
be so generally recognized that the
modern employer considers politeness,
together with honesty and sobriety, as
among the indispensable qualifications
for one who seeks to enter his service.
The brusque, ill-natured employee
drives business from the door, even
as the deferential one attracts trade
and makes friends for the establish
ment.-Philadelphia Ledger.

A Blind Student.

In the class OF 1911 at Princeton there
was one young student from India. His
parents were missionaries-indeed, he
came of missionary families on both
sides; his paternal grandfather was
missionary who was killed in India
nearly hall a century ago, his father
was brought up there. and his mother
was born in China This y was their
only son, and when he was only two
years old he lost his eyesight after an
attack of scarlet fever.
His parents brought HIM to America
for treatment. He recovered enough
| sight SO that he was mol quite helpless,
but not enough TO read or write But
ne had strong Will and good mind,
and he not only went TO school with
other boys in Philanel phia, but came
out with honors at the head of his class.
BY means of the Braille alphabet, and
typewriter of raised letters, he was able
10 work his way through Princeton. His
roommate read his lessons to him, for
the two were devoted friends.
The blind student passed all his ex-
aninations, oral and written (uslng his
typewriter for the latter, and took his
bachelors degree with special honors.
Then the young man returned to India
TO teach in the college that his father
founded at Allahabad. He has been
there Two years, and comes back this
year TO take up theological course in
America, and prepare for the ministry
The missionary impulse is as strong in
him as in his ancestors. He is a great
granddaughter OF signer of the Declar-
alton of Independence, and his courage
and ability are representative of Amer

there is a striking fitness in it. A hand
icapped man might be excused for think
ing thai his place is not in the van. This
young student has no such thought He
takes his place at the front. beca use, in

his story there is inspiration for every
young soul that is confronted by obstacle
