MAKING 1t Emphatic.

She sailed into the telegraph office
and raped on the counter. AS the
clerk came forward to meet her he
remembered that she had been there
about ten minutes before. He won
dered what she wanted this time.
"Oh," she said, "let me have that
telegram / wrote just now; I forgot
something very important l wanted
to underscore perfectly lovely in
acknowledging the receipt of that
bracelet. Will it cost anything ex-
tra?"
No, ma am,' said the clerk, as he
handed her the message.
The young lady drew two heavy
lines beneath the words, and said:
Its awfully good of you to let me
do that. 1t will please Arthur ever
so much. Youths Companion

HONESTY IN SMALL THINGS
Petty Graft, Considered of Small Mat
ter, Is Something the Consci-
entious Will Avoid.

An order forbidding the girls to
make personal calls on the Office
phones was recently issued by large
corporation, and the girls were very
indignant, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch.
But these are stringent times, and If
those girls had looked over the books
Of the company and seen how large an
item of expense the telephone was,
they might not have felt so ill-used.
Just ask yourself frankly how much
graft you expect to get from your
place of business.
Many girls make practice of taking
paper and pens and pencils, blotters,
rubbers, even stamps. They do all
their telephoning over the company's
wires. They use the company's time
for their personal correspondence.
And these are only the most obvious
and common of the forms graft takes
in Offices.
Look over your ideas on this subject
and see how much of it you have
fallen for. And then ask yourself why
you should graft on the company any
more than on any special member of
it. You would hardly take stamps out
of the boss pocketbook, in case he
dropped it within reach. Yet what's
the difference, except in appearance?
Better cut it out, girls. Most offices
are pretty free and easy about grating
of that sort, and it is a matter for your
own choice. But the habit is a bad
one; it lacks dignity, and it isn't fair.
It's on par with cheating the car
companies by stealing ride when the
opportunity offers instead of paying
your nickel for value received. Being
honest when an eye is on you, in fact,
instead of just honest. And it doesn't
pay.
1t takes the fine edge off your feel
ings and perceptions.

Some Forms of Rheumatism
Durable

Rheumatism is disease characterized
by pains in the joints and in the muscles.
The most common forms are: acute and
chronic rheumatism, rheumatic head
aches, sciatic rheumatism and lumbago
All of these types can be helped absolute
ly by applying some good liniment that
penetrates. An application of SlOan's
Liniment two Oy three times a day to
the objected part will give instant relief
Sloan's Liniment is good for pain and
especially rheumatic pain, because it
penetrates to the seat of trouble, sO0thes
the afflicted part and draws the pain.
"SlOan's Iiniment is all medicine" Get
a 25c bottle now. Keep it handy in case
of emergency.-Adv.

ADDITIONS TO THE LANGUAGE
Write Terms Mostly Created in the
Workshop and the Market Place,
Says Writer.

Language can be made in the IL
brary, no doubt, and in the laboratory
also, but it is most often and most ef-
fectiyely created in the workshop and
In the market place, where the i'm
ag1natlve energy of our race expresses
itself spontaneously in swiftly Great

unexpected demand, says Brander
Mathews in Harper's Magazine. Moth
ing could be better, each in its OWL
way, than picturesque vocables like
scarehead and loan shark, windjam-
mer and henminded, all of them Amer
lean contributions to the English Ian
guage and all of them examples of the
purest English. Henminded is an adj
Jective devised by Mr.. Howells to de-
scribe those women who are so COM
mon in all walks of life and who are
made up of only one aim at a time,
and of manifold anxietieS at all times.
Scarehead and loan shark are the
products of the newspaper office, while
WlndJammer was put together by some
down East sailor man, inheritor of the
Word-forming gift of his island ances-
tors who helped to harry the Armada.
"Windjammer," remarked Professor
Gildersleeve, trained by his intimate
knowledge Of Greek to appreciate
verbal vigor as we'll as verbal deli
cacy, "Windjammer is a fine word,
grant, and so is every Anglo-Saxon
compound that grows and is not
made
But all new words are not of neces-
sity good words Ben Jonson, who was
himself a frequent maker of new
words, displayed his shrewdness when
he declared that Custom is the most
certain mistress of language as the
publicke stampe makes the current
money" adding as caution, But wee
must not be too frequent with the
mint, every day coyning."

Borrow's Idea of English.

George Borrow, who received his in

Welsh from groom, was of the
opinion that the difficulties Of the
language had been vastly exaggerat-
ed. "The double Il of the Welsh" he
wrote, lis by no means the terrible

NEW CASTLE, Del, July so.--Declar-
ing that no municipality in the state
spends any large sum Of money without
receiving some return on its investments,
several members Of City Council and
residents in general are OF one accord IN
faaoring the taxing of all vessels that
tic up at the concrete wharf here II
is argued that City Council spent $4,000
for the wharf and while It is a credit
to the city, some return on the money
invested SHOULD be received Those m a
position TO know, members OF the wharf
committee and others say that II the
Ericsson Line vessels which stop at the
wharf were charged wharfage and other
vessels touching here treated likewise,
the city would, perhaps. receive enough
revenue during the year 70 reduce the
tax rate o. at least receive enough to
keep the wharf in repairs.
Merchants who favor the charging OF
Wharfage. say the trade now sent TO
Baltimore is shipped here by the Eric
sson line. which delivers the goods at
the wharf erected by the taxpayers, and
they receive no compensation, although
the improvements cause the tax rate
