This class lost $50 members.
The total number of losses through
death on the battlefield, or as the re-
suit of wounds received in action of the
German nobility is, therefore, 779 up

the following members of German and

ROUGH AND READY

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 15.-If any
Southern paper has need of a rough

DEAD
3reathes there a man with soul
so dead
Who never to himself hath
said:
MY trade of late is getting bad:
I'll try another ten-inch ad.'
If such there be go mark him
well;
For him no bank account
shall swell,
No angels watch the golden
stair,
To welcome home the million
aire.
The man who never asks for
trade,
BY local line or ad displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly
gain
And patronage but gives him
Tread lightly friends; let no
rude sound
Disturb his solitude pro-
found;
Here let him live in calm reposs,
Unsought except by men he
owes.
And when he dies, go plant him
deep
That naught may break his
dreamIess sleep:
Where no rude clamor may dis
pei
The quiet that he loved 50

And that the world may know
its loss,
Place on his grave a wreath
of moss,
And on a stone above: there

A man who wouldn't adver-

Pope Benedict whose heart goes out

His Holiness also visited local hospi-

THE FURNACE

attention. 1t is a peeyish ruin
which makes its lair in the cellars
of plain people adm contributes to
the horror of winter by declining to
give forth heat in a blizzard because
the chimney wasn't manicured in
side during the autumn.
The furnace is composed of a
large cracked firebox surrounded by
sheet iron hogshead. 1t is oper-
ated by a system of checks and
drafts, although one may, of course,
pay cash and get just as good re-
suits. 1t is connected with the va
rious rooms in the house by large
tin pipes, which serve to transmit
cuss words from the cellar to the
upstairs, and it is connected with
the chimney by pipe which serves
to transmit heat into yon high
heaven. When a furnace is working
vigorously a stratum of warm air
"a mile high over the house is some
times produced. Thus the furnace

BILL WHITE ON AUTOMOBILES.

Bill White, who the highbrows
call William Allen White, thus re-
fleets in his Emporia (Kan) Ga
zette:
"The automobile is a fine bird,
| but it sucks blood. 1t has a song that
lures men to destruction and women
to vain pride that corrodes their
happiness. Look not upon the buzz
cart when it is red and giveth silk
UNI to the evening breeze, for it
chaweth skads and ducats like a
HAY baler, also mazuma and SEES
terces and rocks and dough, it lap
peth up like a house afire. When
the devil wagon champeth and
lscorcheth, flee to the mountains of
the Hepsidam and crawl into a
hole, or the old boy will get you and
carry you to the poor house. Man
goeth forth in the morning chugging
and shaking with pride; a halo of
blue smoke encircleth him like a
wreath he patteth his belly with
pride, saith and behold I am a
I6-cylinder brute, even lallapaloolu
am 1 in my pride.
when, 10, the sheriff cometh at
the front door of the shop and
Iswipeth up his substance in the
right and a Missouri mule hauleth
off the available assets to the auc-
ton. The auto is a mocker and the
touring car is raging, and whose
ever is deceived thereby should soak
his noodle in lye. Vessels of wrath
fitted until destruction are the
devil carts that eat mans time and
sap his securities and in the end
turn over in a ditch and make MS
family into hamburger steaks. Woe
is his name who dallieth with them ;
even points is he called in the mar
ket place who twists the brass
wheel and winketh with the other
eye at fate"

hold of the job. Pretty. soon the
steam shovel crews were fighting
over the question of which one could
[get out the most rock, in a. day.
When this occurred it was felt on
all sides that the canal job was
licked and might as well give in
gracefully.
The hustler likes a big job of
work because he can dive into it
and stay several days without TAX
ing breath. The larger the job the
more fiercely he tackles it. The
reason why some farmers gradually
accumulate land until they die,
mourned by an entire township, is
because they go out to plough half
section OF land as cheerfully and
eagerly as some other farmers come
in to dinner.
1t is very hard to work for a
hustler because he is always. fiigxn
hustler because he is always fixing
up some tremendous task for his
employees to do while they are rest
ling. On the whole it is preferable
to be a hustler and work for an
easy-going, unworried man. AS a
rule after a hustler has worked for
this sort of q man for a few years
his employer turns the business
over to him with a sigh of relief.

| is the sparrow's friend, but until
some means of locating the living
room. directly over the house is de-
| yised it will not be doing its fully
toward humanity
The hot-air furnace is so named
| from the manner in which it IS
sold. We are led to believe, when
buying a No. 10 furnace on an E
last, that it will readily heat a
9 room house so thoroughly that a
coat and vest will be entirely SUI
perfluous, even on the. front porch.
This is only partially true. The
furnace will not heat the house by
means of the pipes and registers,
but if sufficiently flattered and en-
couraged, it will eventually ignite
the floors and make everything love-
lily and warm until the fire depart
ment arrives.
A furnace can be readily oper-
|ated during the winter by one mon
|if he makes arrangements to have
his meals brought down cellar to
him. BY shoveling your spring
overcoats, your club dues, your sum-
mer vacation, and your winter S
theatre tickets into your furnace you
can keep it burning all winter ex-
cept on zero nights. A furnace is
quite hardy and by wrapping an
old carpet around it on very cold
days you can keep it from becoming
dangerously chilledt
Some people claim that they can
run a furnace all winter on $24
worth of coal, and that by putting
in two shovels full in the morning
they can maintain fierce heat I'M
til evening. Do not worry about
these statements, however. Go ahead
and discount them with claims OF
your own. This is a free country
and everybody can lie in it.
