GOOD IN MENTAL FIRE DRILL
Really Excellent Suggestion Made by
Woman Who Learned Its Value
Through Experiences.


They had been relating their most
thrilling experience.
My last experience taught me a
lesson l find few people have learned.
| call it my mental fire drill said
the motherly one. You know how
we all uncoLsciously put something
down while we are thinking Of some
thing else. Well when our home
was on fire II took me so long trying
to think what ! would want to save
first and where the articles were that
my escape was cut off. Though ! feel
everlastingly grateful to the iremen
for rescuing me, Il is not very com
Portable experience. SO I determined
for ever after 70 make a practice
every time / put anything Of value
aside TO impress myself where i put
it, and ! also had a place upstairs
and down where ] kept the articles
cherished that we're too large for our
safe and the tin boxes. Once in a
while I spend few moments thinking
hard about what I would want to save
first. The articles are so impressed
on my mind that | shall never forget
them am sure in any stress or ex-
citement
Il really feel quite proud of my
mental fire drill, for it gives me a
feeling Of selfreliance that never
experienced before

EARLY DAYS OF JOURNALISM
First English Editor Had Very Decided
Opinions as 10 the Freedom
Of the Press.

The first Englishman Of letters Of
any distinction 10 take up journalism
as a profession was Sir Roger L 'Es-
TRANCE. who died 20s years ago. He
was an indefatigable pamphleteer on
the royalist and court side during the
epoch Of the restoration. In 1862 LES
TRANCE was made surveyor Of the
press. the censor Of all books and
pamphlets. and the editor Of a monop-
olistie newspaper, The Intelligencer." /"
LEstrange printed only such news as
suited the government. and labored
vainly to suppress his Illegal and IN
licensed competitors, who surrepti-
tiously printed and circulated news
letters containing real news. In the
first number Of the Intelligencer LES
TRANCE objected to the publication OF
anything but the most carefully edited
news on the ground that 1T makes
the multitude too familiar with the ac-
tions and counsels Of their superiors.
TOO pragmatical and censorious. and
gives them not only wish but a kind
OF colorado right and license to The
meddling with the government" But
L Estrange failed miserably in his at
tempts 10 stamp out the ideal of free
press, and slater, when he was deprived
OF his monopoly, he himself turned TO
the publication OF an unofficial catch
penny" sheet called the Observator.

Time Wasted in Mourning.

Every day | see certain fellow sit
ting on the bank Of the stream and
mourning for the water that has
passed. He fails to realize that he
can never grind his grist that way.
He started out to be a colonel, but
corporal was as far as he got, so he
quit. He fails to realize that there
would be a whole lot more satisfac-
ton and money in being good cor
poral than in crying on the banks OF
a stream because he couldn't be a
colonel. II the good Lord intended
him to be a colonel he will get there
some day-but not by sitting in the
corner and crying The coloneis are
made of the fellows who were the best
corporals, and no one should keep that
fact in mind more than the corporals.
But the mourner sits and sits and
gazes pathetically down the stream
at the water disappearing around the
bend You know and I know, but he
doesn't. 1t never returns.-Kansas
