THE ARTIST

When nature with mission grave,
Was by the Lord endowed
She painted on the sea wave,
And on the sky cloud,
And on the land she drew hill;
And on the hill tree,
And in the vale she placed a I'll
That travelled to the sea.
And then, progressing without doubt,
She took a little brush,
And In the stream she placed trout;
And on the tree thrush,
And on the waves she painted foam,
And roses in the wild;
And in the shelter OF home
A woman and q child.
And did all this perfection bring?
All, no! Experience shows
She caused the little thrush to sing;
Gave perfume to the rose.
And best of all, the artist wise,
And in her happiest style,
Put love into the womau's eyes
And made the baby smile!

A DISGUISED DEVIL

A cry rises up from all over the
u land;
A demon smites people with power
full hand
IL once in his grasp-there's seldom
release,
In his wake comes misery, death and
disease.
He's looking for victims in palace
and cot,
Entices with jollity, glee and what
not;
He promises pleasures, but measures
out grief,
Accelerates poverty past all belief.
He coaxes on men to his orgies to
come,
To leave starving wives and children
at home.
He'll empty their purse, he'll ruin
their health,
Deprive them Of comfort and man
hood by stealth.
And when one is ruined, he'll say
with sneer,
"Adieu, my dear fellow, I cannot stay
here.
There's plenty more fools to be cap
tured, you see,
They're easily charmed and estran-
gled by me-"
The poor man will now curse the
tempter and rave.
But all to no purpose-it's too late
to save
Him now from fate that will surely
be his;
Fen death will be welcome, will not
come amiss.
You ask me the name Of this mon.
ster; shrink
From mere mention of 1t, yet hush!
It is drink.
And many a man before happy and
bright,
BY this demon had all his hopes put
to fight.

Makes slaves of his victims with
chains that don't slip,
Leaves men without power. a slave

He'll tantalize, weaken, make useless
and kill.

Men. then, would rejoice and the

Would reign on the earth, and dis

Keeping a Good Coat viii Be
Found Greatly to Prolony
the Life of a Car.
PROVERB!AL STITCH IN TIME
Ohe Painters View Is That 1t Should
Be Renewed Every Six Months
Means Much If Owner
Ever Wants to Sell
Machine.

"Varnish is the overcoat which pro-
tects the health of the paint on your
motor car said a Kansas City painter
recently, land the owner of a car
! should no more be without the winter
! protection of new vaTnish on his car
than he would venture out in bliz-
card without his top coat"
To illustrate the correctness of his
prescription he ran his hand over a
six-cylinder patient" that had just
come in.
Feel that surface" he said. "It is
rough. You can see by looking close
that it is checked by little cracks.
That 'overcoat' is threadbare. The car
has been sent out in winter weather
without protection for the paint. The
varnish is totally worn out
81 told that man. late in the fall that
be ought to have coat of varnish at
once. He did not seem to be i'm
pressed.
Tt looks all right to me-, he said.
ut did look all right. There was
none of the cloudy effect then, but l
knew that if he went into the winter
with 1t the color pigments would suf-
fer, and l told him so. Now it will
take two coats of varnish and rub
down to tide him over to summer
and some time this season he will
need a complete coat of paint and that
will break his heart"
A new coat of varnish every six
months, is the rule of this painter.
His observation is that washing
car will wear out the varnish coat in
about that time. This leaves the
paint exposed to weather conditions,
and he declares that even the color
pigments must have protection.
When the rundown" is needed with
the varnish, is when the paint has
rough feeling and a slightly checked
look. Pulverized pumice stone and
water is used. This breaks down the
rough surface and gives the founda-
ton for the varnish, of which two
coats will be true economy.
Stripping the scars is one of the deli
cate jobs of the trade. Paint must be
selected to exactly match the old paint
and fine brush is used, putting the
paint in the scar and nowhere else.
If it is mixed with a little varnish
1t has more gloss and is easier han
died.
The coat of rubbing varnish goes
on next, and is rubbed down smooth
with the pumice and water, and then
the final coat of varnish is put on.
IF the car owner only knew how
much he could save in looks and in
final costs by a little forehandedness
he would never be stingy with the
varnish coat" the painter declared.
Most every car is finally for sale as
a used car, and it is the ones with the
well-kept paint that look better than
they are.
Lots of purchasers never look a
used car in the engine, but in the
paint"

Mixed His Characters.

This one is told on a certain pugil-
list who is far better acquainted with
the big names of fistic chronology than
with those in the school history
books.
Having reached England in the
course of his pugilistic travels, he was
patronized by nobleman with sport
ing tastes. A weekend visit to the
country estate was in order

HIS UMLUCKY "DAYS OFF"
Fireman Breaks Ankle, Leg, Foot,
Arm, and Head in Five of His
Rest Periods.

His left ankle broken when caught
with several other firemen under a
falling wall at the big fire in Ceilings
wood, Capt George Wade recalled at
the Homeopathic hospital, Camden,
that all five serious mishaps he has
sustained while in the Camden fire de,
partment were met in responding to
calls on his day off, says the Philadel-
phia Record. Such was the case the
last time. He just dropped in at fire
headquarters to see how things were
going when the call for aid came from
Collingswood OF course, he could not
resist the temptation to lead his COM
pany.
On another of his days off in 1907
he was thrown from the engine and
suffered compound fracture of the
left leg. At another time, in like
accident, also on his day off, his right
foot was crushed At still another
time, Captain Wade suffered frac-
ture Of his left arm by a fall at a
fire at Eleventh and Cooper streets.
Fighting fire at the Graves varnish
plant on another day when he just
happened around, he sustained a con-
cussion of the brain when struck by
falling cornice.

State Easily Among the First to
Encourage the Building of
Automobiles.
FACT RECENTLY MADE KNOWN
In the Early Seventies Steps Were
Taken by the Legislature to In
duce Inventors to Work on
the SeIf-PropeIIed
Vehicles.

A transfer of the files to the new
office of the secretary of state at Madi
son, Wis, brought to light one of the
most interesting pieces of automobile
news that has been uncovered in the
! United States in many years.
Indisputable evidence was brought
to light to show that the state of Wis.
consin was one of the first, if not the
very first, states in the Union to an
ticipate the dawn of the self-propelled
vehicle.
J. S. Donald, secretary of state for
Wisconsin at the present time, has be-
come so interested in the data he dis
covered in the old files of his office
| that he has prepared formal state
ment to show when and how the in.
ception of the modern automobile
| came about.
Wisconsin back in the early seven
| ties, and especially in the year 1875,
| developed an age of invention, and the
state legislature encouraged every
sign of progress, and especially along
lines Of labor-saving devices.
That this enthusiasm was not spas
modic and superficial is borne out by
| the many inventions brought to light
at that time. However, the greatest
interest centered in the self-propelled
| road vehicle, and in 1875, 1876, 1877
and 1879 the Wisconsin legislature
passed laws for the purpose of encour-
aging the work that was then going on
| along these lines.
Among the evidence that came to
light during the moving of the files in
the new capitol of Wisconsin was an
act appropriating $4,000 to the first
successful inventor who would pro-
duce a self-propelled vehicle that
would pass tests, the rules of which
were then laid down by the lawmak-
ers, and, when compared to the rules
of the modern endurance test, they
surely offer the best example of what
the A B c of modern automobile com
petition was like. This award was to
90 to the winner of what was probably
the first endurance race ever held in
the world for self-propelled vehicles.
That the state legislature of Wis
consin had foreseen the trend of the
times and anticipated wisely, was
shown by the seven self-propelled ma
chimes that we're introduced to the
public in 1878.
Back of the appearance Of these ma
chimes was the invention of DR.. ]. M.
Carhart of Racine, Wis, in 1871. He
not only invented and built a self-pro-
PEELED vehicle in 1871 but also OPP
Grated it and, according to the news
paper files of that time, was Indirect
ly responsible for the activity at Madi-
son, Wis, on the part of the state leg
islature.
The vehicle itself is no longer in ex-
istence, but the State Historical so
ciety at Wisconsin has III its files a
photograph of this most interesting
machine.

In The HAND OF FATE
WASTE OF GOOD TIME TO PRE-
Mediate FRIENDSHIP.
Best Plan Is to Be a Friend and Thus
One VIII Attract Those Whose
HeIpfuIness VIII Be Natural
and Beneficial.

One Of the things impossible to
know in advance is who is going to be
OF advantage to you. Hence the most
wanton waste of time and effort in the
world is to cultivate people with a
thought to personal advancement.
The world is much like a Ferris
wheel-the bucket that is up today is
down tomorrow, while the one that
7 was near the ground at sunrise scars
to the top at the days decline. Moth
ing just now recalled is stationary
except the Sphinx, and that enigmatic
lady has doubtless held her place by
keeping her mouth shut and trying to
propitiate no one.
Friends are gifts of heaven bestowed
for our joy and mental refreshment.
Men and women are so constituted
that the more keenly they enjoy any
thing the more fervently they long for
some companionable person to share
it with them The most appetizing
meal eaten alone induces indigestion.
The man walking beneath autumnal
trees, inspired by their splendor Of
crimson and gold, signs for compan-
ionship. A book becomes twice vivid
and glowing when read aloud to a
sympathetic listener.
But people sought as associates in
hours of leisure and pleasure must be
really companionable or their absence
is more to be desired than their COM
pany, and to wear ones life out trying
to be friends when impulse is not in
deavor to make friends. Be one, and
you will suddenly find yourself sur
rounded by many bound to you with
invisible cords of kind feeling.
If people seek only those to whom
they are instinctively attracted, their
mutual helpfulness will be natural as
the response of the wireless receiver
to the sympathetic seeking of its wire
less affinity. 1t is not when people are
trying the most. but when they are off
guard that they are making the real
impressions.
The chance word may linger in the
mind when the premeditated one has
fallen UNDECIDED Possible benefits
should be indeed forgot when friend
ships are in process of making. The
only benefit one has a right to expect
Of friends is loyalty and good will.
AS for advantages, they crop up
from such unlikely corners, such I'M
looked-for sources, and are often be-
slowed by such undreamed-of people
that to endeavor to foresee the chan
nels through which they will filter
into our lives is sheer impossibility. |
That we are benefited and blessed |
through outside human agencies is |
true indeed, but that such benefits are |

what we unconsciously are, instead of |
what we consciously endeavor to |

ACCOUNTING FOR OLD MAIDS
Various Reasons Why Girls of Home
burg Are Living Lives OF
Single BIessedness.

They say there are one hundred
thousand old maids in Massachusetts,
I'll bet that's just about the number
of Massachusetts young men who have
gone West or somewhere, and haven't
remembered the things they said at
parting as we'll as the girls did
We've got plenty of girls in Home
burg who are getting intimately ac-
quainted with the thirties-fine girls,
still pretty, bright and keeping UP
with the world. Young men come into
town and do their best to get on a
"thou-beside-me" footing, but somehow
the girls don't seem to marry. At the
root Of almost every case there's an
old Homeburg boy, Maybe he's max
ing good somewhere, and they're both
waiting until he does. Maybe he isn't
making good and is too proud to ask
her to wait. Maybe she's waiting
alone-because some other girl was
handler in the new place. And maybe
it wasn't a case of wait at all, only the
boy who went away looked better to
some Homeburg girl than any of those
who stayed at home
There's Carrie Moore. She's our
prize maid and dresses like a mail
sack full Of government seeds, but
they say she was the prettiest girl in
Homeburg when young Cyrus McCord
went to Chicago to carve out his fu-
ture so that he could come home and
marry her But Cyrus didn't carve
out his future. He married it instead,
and Carrie is almost sixty now, living
alone and getting peculiar, like so
