good grammar. that is, written.
Any one who takes the trouble to
inform himself upon the subject
will soon discover that it is only the
half-educated man who defends for
instance the British orthography of
the English language, who de-
nounce the alleged American meth
cd of spell'' center and honor. The
Briton wonld spell center, centre,
while honor appear honour. The
Uneducated reader may wonder per-
chance what the g is doing in sover-
ign; the half-educated discerns in
the g" connecting link between
the English sovereign and the Latin
regus; the well-educated man knows
that there is no pathological con-
nection whatever between regus and
sovereign.
But the most of those grammar
students who deplore these methods
are the ones who have never carried
their education back far enough in
reference to the dictionary or so far
as to acquire that foundation of
knowledge which would otherwise
make him little more than igno-
rant of his grammar. Grammar is
an education in itself and the OBJ
ject of education, it has been said,
is to make man know what he
knows, and also to know how much
he does not know. Therefore we
may trace the beginning of gram
mar back to the dictionary.
Though men have to use words
as tools of their trade, that is. those
who write, orthography is none the
less a branch of grammar, and gram
mar does not come by nature.

The contented people are those
who have themselves in hand. The
qualification of desire is an endless
task. 1t is like attempting to fill
the bottomless pit with water from
a tin cup.
But the control of desire is a sure
road to full and joyous life. The
n1an who has disciplined himself
can be happy whether poor or rich.
de is the master of the world, not
its slave.
Your vision must be clear. You
must see plainly that to let your de-
sires master you means self con-
tempt and degradation. And you
Lust learn, whenever you have COM
handed the fierce waves of passion
to be still, when you have resisted
the storm of fierce and evil longing,
and the waves and winds have su b.
sided, baffied by your strength, you
must learn then, to laugh in pride,
to realize how good it is to be man.
You know them. the real ladies
of the world, real gentleman not
by heredity or endowment. not by
display or cheap vanity. but by the
open, free, happy. strong life that
comes from self discipline constant

longings with a will of empered
steel.
And these are the beloved. You
know them in every walk of life
you have met them. soldiers of the
light, the old guard of the best
things of humanity.
How then, can l learn the art of
self-mastery? you ask, Here are a
few suggestions.
First, it comes by practice. You
must learn it as you would learn to
play the violin. 1t is matter of
patience and persistence. And sure
ly if you are willing to exercise to
develop your muscles, you ought to
be willing to exercise to develop
your character, your power to en-
joy yourself and your ability to be a
source of happiness to others. Don't
make resolution. Just begin do
ing it. Whenever you have a con-
viction, whenever your reason points
out certain thing to do. do it at
once.
Then. when you see clearly what
you ought to do, do it cheerfully.
Don't pity yourself. Don't adver-
tise your virtue.
Don't wrestle, fight and pray.
The essential element of a strong
personality is quiet power. Those
who fight are weak. Do what you
have to do, dismiss the matter, and
go ahead.
The first of all insurance policies,
TO insure oneself the maximum of
happiness and efficiency, is to learn
how to make oneself do what he
knows he ought to do, yet what he
hates to do, and to learn to do this
smoothly. without struggle or self
torture. Without that, there is pos
itively no peace. Without that,
life is sure to turn bitter.

ONLY A BEGGAR CHILD
By Beau Esprita

He was a little. weazened chan,
and hunger was writ large on his
pinched features-so large there
wasn't room for any other express
sion there. and one could but guess
at the character which must have
been rattling around some where in
his piteously emaciated frame.
And they were fur-clad and rosy
with the bloom which old Jack
Frost brings to the cheeks of the
we'll fed and well cared for, They
crossed the side walk to the limou-
sine against which he was leaning
for the sake of the wormeth from it's
electric heated interior; and the
woman's eyes lighted up as they
rested for a moment on his face.
She hesitated as if about to speak
to him. but her companion, holding
open the car door for her to enter,
said indifferently, 1T is only a beg
gerchild, dear" She entered and
the car moved away.
There was double sentence writ
on his features now: superimposed
on the dead-write Hunger" was a
steely blue Cold" so plain that he
who runs, yes. he who even fees,
could not but read.
The woman wrapped in the plaid
shaul read, and reading, stopped
before him with a half articulated
cry. But the man with the market
basket looked. and said, It's only
begger-kid; give him a cent and
come on" She fumbled for the
coin, and hurried after her man.
But at the corner she turned and
looked back. Even at that distance,
she noticed the message of his tense
drawn face was plain.
Over the dead-white Hunger
and the steely blue Cold" a new
word was appearing slowly
weariness. And as 1t took form
and became clearer and clearer in
outline, the other two were obliter-
ated, completely over-shadowed by
this uew word, just as most things
are over-shadowed by it when it is
writ large on human face or human
heart. And it was very thin little
face too, not large enough for three
such big words-not even large
enough to bear up under this one
last word; for slowly the weazened
frame sank into the half-shelter of
a doorway, and the little face hid
its message to those who ran again
st the cold door-post.
Another of those beggar- brats,'

CORDOVA'S ARGUMENT MAY HELP GET APPROPRIATION

At last nights meeting of the Cham Der of Commerce letter was read from Secretary Redfeld, of the De- partment of Commerce, acknowledg- ing the communication of the local body and thanking it for the action taken regarding the attitude of that department relative to navigation in the waters of Alaska. Secretary Red field says he has read the same with care and is going to take the liberty of using it before the Committee on Appropriation of the House.
 Delegate wickersham also thanked tfe Chamber for it's prompt compli- ance with his request to urge the need for the wire drag to locate pointed rocks in flask waters. He stated that upon a notice issued by him 3 meet ing of the delegation from California, Oregon Washington and Alaska was held and a committee appointed to look after this matter on the behalf of the four commonwealths. Congress man Kahn, of California, was made chairman of the committee and Con gressmen Humphrey, of Washington, Hawley, of Oregon and Delegate Wick ersham, of Alaska, the other members. They promise to leave nothing undone to secure the appro- priation for additional aids to navi- gation in Alaska.

Jason leaves Marseilles during January. it will carry as part of it's cargo many works by American artists for exhibition at San Francis co. As an added incentive the Pan. ama-Pacifc Exposition has reserved a special section for the works of non. resident artists.
 Juries composed of recognized mas ters in Paris and London have weeded put much of the undesirable or freak ish until a decidedly representative collection has been obtained. The was has had little appreciable effect, as with only one or two exceptions the jury is the same as was chosen to meet early in August, when the outbreak of hostilities made 1t neces. sary to postpone the meeting indef- initely.
 From the seventy-fve works which were submitted to the Paris jury, IT were accepted. They consisted chief, ly of figures. and landscapes of Brit tany and Normandy. Nudes were conspicuous by their absenxe. and ma rines were in the minority. Among | the lucky seventeen" are Charles Thorndyke, Edwin O'Connen, LioneI Walden.

AIREDALE SAID ID BE
 FINEST MILITARY DOG

LONDON, Jan. 11-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-The finest military dog is the Airedale. in the opinion of Major E. II. Richardson. a breeder of war dogs. who was in charge of pack of bloodhounds in the Belgian army until they were lost in the disaster at Mons.
 He says the Airedale can stand any climate, is second to none in faith fitness and intelligence, has powers of hearing and scent remarkably acute and is the right size, whether used on sentry duty, scouting, searching for the wounded or as messenger or ammunition carrier.
 "He can hear 300 yards farther than man and knows friend from foe by their smell" says Major Richardson. "A mans smell depends on what he eats, so dog can tell the difference between English, French and Ger man even when they are dressed in the same kind of clothes
 An officer wrote to the Major in regard to one of his dogs: Don was blown twenty yards by a bursting shell, He was not hit, only scared. He declined to face the music any more until after a lot of coaxing, when he went back on night duty, watching and listening in the trenches with the intentness of the most sea soned sentry. aided further by a sense, sight and smell that was almost uncanny."

 WOMEN !

BERLIN, Jan. 11-(Correspondence of the Associated Press) of war exercise upon many women the same attraction noted so often in the cases of renowned criminals, accord. ing to some German observers.
 With the advent of the first train load of prisoners in Germany last fall came stories. describing indignantly how flowers and dainties had been showered upon the prisoners. and how many girls and women exhibited great pleasure at securing a button from military coat or some other keen sake
 The rugged old soldier command. ing the prisoners camp at Friedrichs- felde. near Wesel. has, according to a report in Wesel paper, hit upon a novel scheme for punishing the cu. rious women who flock in great num- bers to see the prisoners in his charge. Visitors are denied admittance to tho camp, but many get as near as possi. ble and try to talk to the prisoners. A number of these women were taken in charge by the sentries and led be- fore the commandant His decree was this:
 "The women arrested will be con. ducted to the camp kitchen where they will peel potatoes for three hours"
 The following manifesto, signed by Colonel von Wisters, commandant of the prisoners camp at Goerlitz. is published.
 "The three young women who felt themselves moved to send their photo graphs to the Russian prisoner. Geo. Hirschberg, are requested to come to the office of the commandant and take them away. If they do not their names will be made public"
 Three others who fell in love with wounded French prisoners of war and became engaged to them, have been dismissed in disgrace from their posts as volunteer hospital nurses. The commanding general at strassburg In communicating their delict to the public through the newspapers, iden. tihed them by christian names, initials and addresses to the entire community from which they came.

G U N-F|RE DOE 5 NJ I AFFECT
 RAINFALL

\ LONDON. Jan. 11-(Correspondence of the Associated Press) scientists have again been compelled to assure the public that neither the smell of powder nor the concussion of gun-fre has the slightest connection with rainfall. From several sources it has been asserted that the heavy and persistent rains recently experienced in Southern England and Northern France were attributed to atmospheric disturbances produced by artillery fire at the seat of war
 Like the supposed influence of the moon upon weather, the popular be- lief that powder brings rain is base iess," writes a scientist in the Times. About four years ago the First Lord of the Admiralty was gravely asked in the House of Commons whether he would instruct the fleet to carry out its heavy gun practice at some other period of the year than in the middle of harvest time, when the resultant heavy rains may bring loss to the farming community The idea is ab- solutely without foundation. Exper- iments made in America and on the Continent show that in dry weather no amount of concussion has the slightest effect in the production of rain.
 "At the present time there is one fact that should at once dispose of the cherished theory. There is no reason for thinking that gun firing at the front is more violent than it was in the earlier stages of the war. As a matter of fact, nothing of the kind took place. In August and Sep tember the rainfall was much below the average.
 "At Shoeburyness, where the big guns are tested almost daily, year in and year out, the average annual rain fall is smaller than in any other part of the United Kingdom"
