There is q certain middle aged and
old fashioned business man who Is a
little doubtful whether he or the other
carried of the honors Of war In an In
terview given to a smart young man.
The smart young man was applying
for a berth.
"Let me see," said the merchant;
you've called on me before, but not on
your present GRAND. The first time
you represented Up to Date Limited
and offered to put our concern OH mod
ern lines. Then you came on behalf of
Systems & Files and said you were
business doctors. And after that you
came as the publicity expert Of the
Newest In Ads. company
THAT is SO, SIR"
"And are all these-er-companies
dead7'
The young man reluctantly admitted
that they were.
yet after coming here three times
to offer to teach US our business when
your concerns go down you coolly So
hcit a berth in this poor. efrete old
firm. Why. what use are you to us?
Look at your record"
The optimist countered that easily.

very useful Look what a splendid ex-
perience I've had In winding up COM

Oeeoy P~eriscopes.

Such things exist as decoy p~eriscopes
short lengths of pipe held upright on
a float and looking exactly like the real
periscope. The submarine sets them
adrift for you to fnd-sometimes scat
tiers several OF them.
When n is sighted you cannot stop
to consider whether the little object
dancing on the sea half a mile or so
distant does or does not mean 250
pounds of high explosive coming
straight Mt you. Maybe you will see
an a%eroplane maneuvering over it in a
way that carries conviction that 1t
does. You don't dare to take any
chances, and so you train all the guns
at Il.
Then the real submarine sinks up
on the other side OF the ship and with
the swift rush Of fits torpedo another
sea tragedy is enacted.-Lendon Tit

THE GERRYMANDER.
Gilbert Stusrt's Cartoon Made the Po-
iitical Trick Notorious,


Gilbert Stuart, who Is best remem-
bered for his portraits Of Washington,
was also a ~cartoonist, and II was he,
according to James Melvin Lee, In Car
toons Magazine, who designed the IA
nous Gerrymander cartoon.
In 1911, writes Mr.. Lee, the struggle
between the Democrats and the Fed.
erals for the control OF Massachusetts
was extremely bitter. The Democrats
had elected Elbridge Gerry governor
and had carried both houses Of the
legislature. To retain this supremacy
they remapped the senatorial districts
and divided the power of their political
adversaries by paying no attention TO
county boundaries. In Essex county
the relation OF the district to the town
was most absurd, and a map Of the
county thus laid out hung In the office
Of the Massachusetts Sentinel.
One day as Stuart gazed at the map
he remarked that the towns as they
had been assembled looked like some
monstrous animal. A few touches of
his pencil added the wings and claws,
and he christened the creature a saIa-
mander. At the suggestion Of Editor
Russell. the name was changed to
Gerrymander. The cartoon thereafter
frequently appeared In a "broadside,"
while the term became one Of reproach.

Performing q Duty.

Mr.. Choate told this one-not on him,
self: An American called at the office
of the American ambassador in Lon
don. with his wife and baggage.
When did you arrive?" was the first
question.
"Just arrived" was the answer.
"Have you been to your hotel?" was
another question put.
NO. came the prompt answer.
Then the ordinary question was put
to him, as to every visitor Of that kind
and which we put at the end of an In
terview, "Well, what can / do for
your"
You can do nothing for me-" came
the reply. II merely came here to see
whether my ambassador was In his
place."-Denver Post.

 pitiful plea to Washington that Congress would hurry up and give them a rerrr-

He said that they were the first Americans he had heard of who didn't know how to set up government for themselves and take care of themselves. The char acteristic American community for a long time was the frontier community made on the spot and made according to the local pattern.

 RICE PRESIDES
 Charles E. Rice, president of the club
 presided at the meeting yesterday after noon and kept things humming. His in-
 troductions of speakers were especially apt and witty and there was continued
 laughter. All the speakers manifested
 great enthusiasm over what has been accomplished and the difficulties which
 have been overcome.
 Robert Jemison, Sr, said that the mem
 bers of the club were the most indus trious workers he ever saw and that if the same spirit shown by this club
 in overcoming difficulties was put into everything in Birmingham, Atlanta would soon be a village by comparison James Bowron, one of the very first members and boosters for this club eX- pressed great satisfaction with the aims and purposes of the club. He approved the~ plan to make it great outdoor club to build up the health of the young men and women of Birmingham. He spoke of the great advantages the members of the club have in the mag nificent lake so near the heart of the city where rowing, an exercise he be- lieved unexcelled for developing the body can be indulged in, and where swim ming, which he esteemed next to row ing, can be enjoyed by all Mir Bow ron showed his satisfaction with the de velopments and future plans, and his ap preciation of the magnitude of the worl already accomplished by changing his ac tive membership to a $500 life member I ship.
 Mel Drennen agreed with President Rice that this should be made a club .o1 l manhood and snot dollars. He said h' 1 believed that the club can be mad' l the biggest and best in the country an6 l that by reason of its large properties. 4O( acres. and the lake, affording so many diversified recreations and sports for thu members, that the membership can bt built up to a much larger number l Following this the membership cam | paign was planned after which the meet 1 ing adjourned the members to gather again next Tuesday, when the campaign will be started with a vim.
