BRITISH FISTS SKILLED.

Skill in hsticuffs has several times the
Victoria Cross for British soldiers. At Inker
man. for instance Captain Hugh Rowlands
saved his commanding officer. Colonel Hay, by
a straight left.hander. Hay was wounded and
lying the ground, with a gigantic Russian
landing over him and about TO plunge
a bayonet TO his heart when Rowlands, who
had lost his sword. smashed the Russian with
his left hand, knocking the man unconscious.
Rowlands got the Victoria Cross. At Jeerum,
in India, during the Indap mutiny, General
James Blair, whose sword had been broken off

Knocked five OF them down with his fists In a

Art

Nobody has yet been able TO de-
fine art correctly. because every
conception OF art differs with the
individual. Nobody really knows
what truth is. yet art is said to be
truth plus personality. Personality
itself Is our most incomprehensible
enigma.

constantly increasing interest The

Picking Timber

Timber experts have discovered
that timbers thoroughly soaked in
the brine of the great Salt Lake OF
Utah are very slow TO decay. Piling
which was driven into the bed OF
the lake over 40 years ago is still
in perfect condition because the
timber is thoroughly impregnated
with salt. 1t has been suggested
that timbers may be soaked In the
waters Of the lake and then be thor
oughly covered with creosote TO
keep in the salt and keep out the
moisture. Sea water does not have
the same preservative influence on
timber because II is not nearly so
salty as that Of the Salt Lake

MAKING ONES OWN MODEL

That's a beautiful little story from Evanston,
H. about the Howard Osborns, bridal pair Of
Northwestern University, showing how Miss
Iamke made Osborn a model husband before
she married him
Three days after they first met Miss Lamke
presented Osborn with set OF rules, like this
Rise at a m;
Cold bath and exercise
Breakfast on toast and coffee;
Loyalty 10 study;
No attention 10 girl Students
No smokinf. drinking loafing, rover-eat-
ing;
Eight hours sleep daily:
Daily athletic practice
Young Howard observed these rules for four
years, married the girl and is now "a model
husband"
II is a beautiful story, as IL also that one
about Jack and the Beanstalk"
Only. tbs TO be feared that this beauty. like
most others, Is just skin deep.

thing more than a model husband-hes a model
angel and the dodo.
OF course. most men are angels about the
time OF their marriage. but any wife will testify

There are a large number OF cases indica ting
that the fellow who lets his sweetheart run his

such things himself, with much fierceness. after

Mrs. Osborn's rules are fine-save as to that

make such difference. the variance between
