And reminding himself of the strain
imposed upon her by the experience

Alan excused her unresponsiveness on
grounds Of reaction. and for the time
felt constrained to let his sweetheart

IMAGINATION IS GOOD THING
Il Takes Dreamer to See Transforms
tIon Intelligent Effort Will Bring
to Pass.

It Is a GOOD thing for the farmer boy
to have an imagination. It is a good
thing for him to dream dreams and
see visions" It takes a dreamer to
see the transformation that intelligent
effort will bring to pass on the old
place. It takes a dreamer to see how
much more desirable that place will
De in ten years than q job in a dry
goods store.
1t is the boy who dreams who sees
a field Of thrifty alfalfa where that
stunted yellow corn is growing on the
timber forty. It is the boy who dreams
who sees those hungry-looking cows
replaced by a herd Of dairy matrons
that tax the capacity Of the milk cans
at every milking. It is the boy who
dreams who sees a waving corn field
where the cat-tails are growing, who
sees a woven wire fence in place OF
the old hedge, and a new barn where
the COW shed is falling to pieces.
We need more dreamers on the
farm.-Prairie Farmer.

Our uaaIasa Ruttona

Masculine dress still reflects the In
fiuence Of the military uniform.
Many Of our useless buttons may be
blamed on military ancestors. II Is
related that Frederick William, king
of Prussia, was excessively annoyed
because his soldiers persisted in wip-
ing their noses on their coat sleeves,
even when on dress parade. So he
ordered the military tailors to sew
buttons on the coal sleeves as a means
OF discouraging this habit. The but
tons are still with us.
Have you ever wondered as to the
why Of the buttons that are fastened
in the middle Of the back Of the
Prince Albert coat that Deacon Smith
wears on Sundays, or the long-tailed
cutaway that Lawyer Jones dons
when he tries a big case? Originally
those buttons were intended to keep
q sword belt from sagging.-American

EXCELLENT ADVICE TO BOYS
General Nogl, Idol Of Japanese Sol
dIery, Said Among Other Things,
Keep Mouth Closed.

Some time before he died, General
Nogi, idol Of the Japanese soldiery,
sent q letter to the students at the
Peers school which contained the fol-
lowing instructions worth considering,
by the way, by every American boy
who aims to make the best Of himself:
Keep your mouth closed. He who
has always his mouth open shows that
his mind is blank.
Mind what you are looking at One
whose eye is always wandering tells
that his mind is also wandering.
Do not forget your coat.of-arms, fam
fly standing and ancestors. Due re-
spect to your ancestors is important
A boy should act like boy. Avoid
becoming effeminate.
Never indulge in luxury. There Is
nothing that makes a fool Of q man
like luxury.
How many Of you wash your face
with cold water in the winter? You
should not use warm water.
It is q shame to wear torn clothes
without mending them. But to wear
the torn part patched is nothing to be
ashamed Of.
Know what is shame; he who does
not know what is shame is inferior to
dumb animals.
Become a man useful to your coun'
try. Whoever cannot be 80 is better
dead.

tate of Mrs. Barbara Hess of this sec.

WORDS KILL BILLS
Tactics Often Used in Senate to
Defeat Measure.
" Ship Purchase Bill Fails Of Passage
the Result May Come From Inter
esting Process Of Talking
Bill to Death.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

(Staft Correspondent Western Newspaper
Union)
Washington.-lf the ship purchase
bill which the administration desires
to have passed shall fail Of passage,
the result will come from the killing
process known as talking a bill to
death. Now the senators who sue
coed in defeating q bill by debating 1t
at extreme length, thus preventing 1t
from coming to vote, always say
that they simply are giving the pro-
posed legislation proper discussion.
It is the members favorable to the
measure who insist that the bill which
they support is being talked to
DEATH"
The records Of congress show that
both big parties have had q share in
the work of smothering bills to death
with words. There are some marked
instances of this course Of procedure
in the United States senate. The
house members cannot talk a bill to
death, because there is day set for
a vote and the vote must come. In the
senate, however, only by unanimous
consent can day be set Tor a vote.
So It is that unless the rules are
changed, which is not at all likely, fu-
ture bills can be talked to death just
as bills of the past have met the same
fate.
Some years ago Senator Thomas H.
Carter of Montana. now deceased,
talked a river and harbor appropria-
ton bill into its grave. II is possible
to talk bills to death in the senate
both at the short and the long sessions,
but the chances Of doing 1t Of course
are greater at the short session. when
congress must adjourn to March 4. At
q long session the date of adjourn
ment can be set forward and the talk.
ing members can be tired out, but II
they show great strength Of purpose
and Of lungs they can worry the pro-
ponents Of the bill by postponing the
day Of adjournment, and so frequently
a bills friends surrender and allow ad-
journment to come and the bill which
they favor to die.
During the Roosevelt administra-
ton Senators Stone Of Missouri and
Gore Of Oklahoma, Democrats. and
Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin. Re
publican, tried to talk the Aldrich
emergency currency bill to death. The
three talked day and night, relieving
one another as the speaker became
exhausted. Senator Gore is blind, and
after talking for hours he sat down,
thinking that Senator Stone was in
the the chamber and ready to relieve
him. Both Senators Stone and La
Toilette were absent taking a rest at
the time. and, selzing advantage Of
the situation, the advocates Of the
measure succeeded in forcing a vote
and the bill was adopted.

EXERCISE IN THE OPEN AIR
very Few Days In Year When Person
Who 10 Wrapped Up Cannot Sit
In Sheltered, Sunny Corner.

One great difference between out
door air and indoor air Is that the first
circulates freely and the second Ii
stagnant. Another difference Is that
foods Of sunshine constantly cleanse
outdoor air Of its impurities, but most
rooms get very little Of that useful
commodity. Many persons who visit
the physician with complaints OF poor
digestion and anemia declare that they
are active all day long aud that go
ing out for walks is the last thing they
need.
They may be right about the amount
Of exercise they get, but people con-
stantly fall sick in spite Of plenty OF
exercise in the house. and get well
again with little outdoor exercise. A
certain amount OF active work about
the house is good for everyone, but
there ought to be some daily outdoor
life as we'll.
II does not follow that that outdoor
life ought to include violent exercise,
or even any exercise at all. Why
should the householder be told that
she cannot keep well unless she
dresses up in walking clothes and
takes q long walk after q fatiguing
morning Of physical labor in the
house? Tired people should do their
resting in the open air. There are
very few days in the year when a
person who is warmly wrapped up
cannot sit with comfort in a sheltered.
sunny corner. Everyone knows how
babies thrive when they take their
maps outdoors; the principle applies to
the adult also.
It is a matter of scientific record
that people whose daily occupation
obliges them to sit in the open air
such as market women, attendants at
fruit stands and newspaper sellers
are robust people, who do not take
cold easily. Yet 1t is probable that
few people take less exercise.
Let It be understood that this Is
not at all an argument against phys.
ical exercise. That is not only excel
lent, but in most cases necessary. But
you need not forego both air and exer-
else because you cannot conveniently
have both; open-alr life without exer-
else is much more healthful than in
door life with it.-Youth's Companion.
