Horse With a Wooden Leg.

Farmer Fred Harris of Pownal, a
few miles from here, has never been
in Winsted, Conn, nor has he ever
been called nature faker, but he says
(and the correspondent bears him out)
that he has horse with a wooden leg,
according to New York Worlds
North Adams (Mass.) correspondent.
Thus:
One Of the horses legs became in
fected and a veterinary wanted to
shoot the beast.
..Neigh," said Harris and the horse
together.
So the leg was cut of. Then the vii,
lage carpenter was called in, and aft
er some experimenting wooden leg
fitted with thick pad was construct
ed. and the first thing the neighbors
knew the old horse was back on the
farm job.
Mr.. Harris admits the horse has
something Of numbering" gait, but
thinks that is to be expected.

MADE FEATURE OF IT
MARRIAGE PROPOSAL A SORT OF
ENTERTAINMENT.
Embarrassed Young Man Found Il
Somewhat Hard Lines, But Under
the Circumstances What
Could He Do?

She knew that he was coming. It
had all been arranged beforehand over
the telephone. Yet, as he rang the
bell of her suburban villa, he was con-
scious that he was embarrassed and
fiustered. One does not acquire the
habit of proposing every day to pretty
girls.
He was ushered from the bright
light Of day into a semitoned room
full Of people. She advanced cordial
ly and waved her hand about, intro
ducing him.
This" she said, with a trace Of
circumstances, is the gentleman
who is going to propose to me. Be
seated, everybody. and the ceremony
will proceed"
TBut can't
"Now, my dear, it's all right. It
seems embarrassing, but really, If you
stop to think, 1t is all for the best.
You see, this is our little club which
meets during the seaaon once every
two weeks, of which am the humble
president. You needn't be awfully
sentimental, you know.
Gust be yourself only it must last
an hour. Come now, you won'tsspoil
it all, will you? Be nice about it. Re-
member, my reputation is at stake.
Every other suburb for miles around
copies u.s."
He faced her, paralyzed with sur
prise. The audience began to applaud.
what is the meaning of this?' he
demanded.
go on" she replied. That's
splendid. A little quarrel first will
be an immense help and will lead up
to the real business"
He sternly took her hand. More
applause.
Come" he said, "this has gone far
enough! What do you mean?"
well, you came around to propose.
didn't you? You told me So over the
phone. You won't deny that"
"Yes, did, he stammered.
Then / thought would avail my
self of this splendid opportunity. You
see, my dear, it's this way. Now that
I've been elected president I've sim
ply got to get up an entertainment that
will interest people. We've danced
until we are stated with 1t. We've
played bridge until we're bored to
death.
We've had afternoon teas and
church fairs and authors readings and
musicales and recitations until we are
all worn out, and SO, dear, when you
told me your were coming around to
propose, l said: Here's my chance
for something new. Go on, don't stop!
You're going to make hit. You've
got 'em all going! The doors are all
locked! You can't get away! Win
me in three-quarters of an hour, and
I'm positive that when my head drops
on your shoulder you'll get rising
vote of thanks! Life.

work done in it can be slighted. In
a big factory, where everything is
highly specialized, every detail OF the
operation of manufacture is of vital
consequence. Even the people whose
business it is to lift parts from a
conveyor must be skilled in that par
ticular task. The fact that it is not
a high degree of skill does not justify
carelessness or indifference. Such
jobs may not lead to better ones, but
the best performers in such work
stand the brightest chance of pro-
motion. In any line the small job
man who does his own work fault
lessly and looks for opportunities to
simplify the system without disad-
vantage is the one who gets ahead.
This truth should be borne in upon
all workers at the outset of their
careers, by parents and by teachers.

The New Passport Rules.

The new passport rules should
make impossible the effective trans
fer or theft of these documents of
identification, which are in the pres
ent foreign situation so necessary to
Americans travelling outside OF their
national boundaries. With three
photographs of the individual pro-
vided, one to be affixed to the pass
port, one to be kept here and the
third to be sent to tn diplomatic Of
fee in the country of destination,
there will Be little opportunity for
substitution. Stricter rules, too, are
imposed in the matter of information
as to the date of intended departure
and the steamer on which passage is
engaged.
Traffic in fraudulent passports has
been one of the scandals of this
struggle abroad, and the American
government is rightfully aggrieved at
the liberties that have been taken
with its system Of identifying its ma
tionals. Had the present methods
been in vogue when the war broke
much, if not all, of this trouble would
have been prevented. But the war
came suddenly, and there was no
precedent to guide the State Depart
ment, so liberal has been the policy
of the United States in the matter of
passports heretofore, in keeping with
the American traditions. Now that
the schemes of partisans of the Eu-
ropean contestants have made neces-
sary these changes it is to be hoped
that they will stop the fraudulent
practices which have brought Ameri-
can passports into disrepute.

Small Job Technique.

The worlds work consists largely
of small jobs. There are thousands
of people who are filing subordinate
and minor positions to scores who fill
the higher ones, and it is from the
ranks of the small jobs" people that
the larger ones are filled. These pro-
motions are based upon efficiency,
and that efficiency is determined by
the degree in which workers appre-
ciate the fact that there is a tech
nique in the small job as well as in
the big one. In this day of competi-
ton it behooves every holder of
small job to be attentive to the least
detail of his occupation, to make his
work just as satisfactory as possible.
Nothing is more handicapping than
the habit Of perfunctory performance,

Maryland Marriage Law Reform.

y
|, 1t is to be hoped that the Maryland
marriage law will be amended at the
coming session of the legislature, so
that it will be no longer possible for
Washington children to run over the
boundary line and contract matri-
mony without the consent of their
parents. For years Rockville has
been the capitals "Gretna Green"
and many are the sad results that have
flowed from hastily performed mar
riage ceremonies there. The local and
other divorce courts have had their
calendars kept we'll filled as con-
sequence of the easy road to matri-
lnony. that led to Rockville. If the
proposed new law is enacted it will
be no longer possible for boy of
fourteen and girl of twelve to
marry in Maryland without parental
consent. This new law will positively
prohibit the marriage of boys under
eighteen and girls under sixteen, and
all boys under twenty-one and girls
under eighteen must have the per-
sonal or written consent of their par
ents before licenses are issued, and
the written consents must be attested
by witnesses. This restriction would
cut out juvenile elopements. Mary
land owes it to itself as well as to
the District to put this ban upon
child marriages, which are so often
attended with disastrous conse-
| quences.
