How to Become Rich.

My early difficulties taught me some thrift" said Mark Twain once. but l never knew whether it was wiser to spend my last cent for a cigar tn smoke or for an apple to devour"
 ''I am astOunded." observed a friend that a person with SD little decision should have met with so much worldly success
 Mark Twain bent his head gravely.
 "IndeclsiOn about spending money" he said, "is worthy of cultivation. When I couldn't decide what to buy with my last cent l kept it and so be came rich"

MEANS OF WASHING THE EYE
Winking 10 a Process Which Dame
Nature Has Instituted for
Optics Preservation.

The unconscious act of winking
bears a quite important relation to
the welfare of the eye. This being the
most delicate and sensitive organ of
the body exposed to the air, it is in
constant need of the protection given
by the eyelids, which not only close
quickly at the approach of danger, but
are employed in washing the surface
Of the eye. Moistening is required to
Offset the drying effect Of the air, and
cleaning to prevent the injurious ef-
feet of dirt.
Every time you wink the eye is
washed. Inside the eye is the little
tear gland, which. as its name i'm
plies, is busy storing up the supply of
tears. This gland keeps the inside of
the lid moist. and you wink automat-
ically whenever the surface of the eye
becomes dry or a particle of dust or
anything else strikes 1t. This work is
done as often as necessary, and to
realize how often 1t is necessary try
how long you can keep your eyes
open without winking.

ALWAYS BEAR TO THE EAST
Objects Dropped Into "Botton.less
Pits" Are Inevitably Attracted
in That Direction.

Because the earth whirls so fast,
rocks dropped into the very deep
shafts of Michigan copper mines dis
appear on the way down. At some of
the shafts, which are nearly mile
deep in a straight drop, It is the gen.
eral belief that load of broken stone
can be dumped into the hole at the
top without causing any injury to a
man at the bottom.
On account of the motion of the
earth a rock will not fall perfectly
straight, but will bear to the east, lodg-
ing in the timber lining or perhaps
bounding from wall to wall until it is
broken up or caught by some projec-
ton.
A group of experimenters from the
Michigan College of Mines verified
this by careful tests with steel balls.
One ball was hung by a thread over
the hole, about four feet from the east
side, and the thread burned. A clay
box had been placed at the bottom Of
the shaft to catch the ball, but it never
appeared. Another ball was then
dropped, by the same method. little
farther away from the east edge, and
this ball, also, did not get to the bot
tom. Careful search located the first
ball imbedded in the timbers 500 feet
down, but the second ball never has
been found.
AS the earth revolves the surface is
moving eastward at rate which va
ries with the latitude. Down in the
earth the rate is not so fast, on the
same principle that a point on the
tire of a wheel revolves faster than
one on a spoke. Consequently, at the
distance of mile below the surface
the speed rate is less than at the sur
face. The falling ball, however, con-
tinues to move toward the east at the
same velocity it had on the earth's
surface.-Saturday Evening Post.

Pocket full of nails,
-Four and twenty dust pans,
Scrubbing brooms and pals

Wife begins to sing
Just help me move this bureau here,
And hang this picture, won't you, dear
And tack that carpet by the door,
And stretch this one little more,
And drive this nail and screw this screw,
And here's a job have for you
This closet door will never catch,
think you'll have to fix the latch;
And, oh, while YOU are about it, John,
wish you'd put the cornice on.
And hang this curtain when you're done
I'll hand you up the other one;
This box has got TO have hinge
Before | can put on the fringe;
And won't you mend this broken chair
I'd like hook put right on there,
The bureau drawer must have a knob;
And here's another little job
really hate to ask you dear
But could you fix bracket here?"
And on it goes when these are thru
With this and that and those to do,
Ad infntum and more too,
All in merry jingle
And isn't it enough to make
\ man wish he was single? Almost.

Kansas Loses Beer
Delivery Decision

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The kir-
meyer liquor case. one OF first impor.
lance to the prohibition laws of Kan
sas, was decided in the supreme court
against the state.
1t was alleged that after receivers
had been appointed to GUST various
wholesale liquor dealers from doing
business in Leavenworth, Kan. NJ.
kirmeyer went across the river into
Missouri, established a warehouse
there and continued to deliver beer
In Kansas. The Kansas supreme court
held that his removal was a mere de-
vice to eyade the Kansas liquor law
and that the trade was not interstate
commerce Sin good faith"
The supreme court held that Kir.
meyer was entitled, under previous de-
,cisions of the court. to protection for
his trade as interstate commerce and
dismissed an injunction issued by the
Kansas supreme court.
Justice McReynolds said in the opin-
ion that the Kirmeyer case arose be-
fore the passage of the Webb.Kenyon
law, prohibiting shipments from wet
to dry territory and that neither its
construction nor application was in.
volved or would be passed upon. Ad-
yocates Of the Webb-Kenyon law as
serted that measure would apply to
such cases now.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, March a.
With the retirement Of Wade c. Xii.
mer, Democrat, from the Public Ser.
vice Commission, that body Is compos.
ed OF but two members. No success.
sor has been appointed to the late
Howard N. Ogden and none has been
announced TO succeed Mr.. Kilmer, who
rendered his resignation several
months ago. intending at the time
that it should become effective Janu,
airy l last. Mr.. Kilmer returned to
Martinsburg to resume the practice of
law and will be associated with the
firm of Faulkner, Walker and Woods.
The question now. confronting the
two remaining President
OFT and Commissioner Bronson-is
whether they can allow claims and en-.
ter orders. as under the law the ap.
proval OF majority of the four mem.
bers is necessary. The new law, pDls.
ed by the legislature last week, Niil
not become effective until the latter
part Of May. l
There is probability that former
Governor William o. Dawson will be
induced to accept place on the com.
mission, and it is generally conceded
that President Lee S. OFT, who has
been In charge Of the we-kmen's com.
pensation branch of the commission,
will be named the commissioner o:

under the law placing that department
under one man.

James o. Watson. recently elected
president of the gas company, will

business experience guarantees that
the work will be managed in the most
efficient manner possible.
E. B. Moore, formerly chief en-.

assistant. The practical knowledge OF
gas and oil acquired by Mr.. Moore
during the many years that he has

means that he has the best possible
preparation for his new work.
Frank B., Pryor, secretary of the

the company fits him especially for
this work.
