Did you ever pass little kid on
the street and have him gaze visit
fully up at you until you passed by,
and then turn around and find him
still looking at you with those
appealing little eyesa Indeed you
have, and it is an everyday occur
renee right here in this town. 1t
wouldn't do us "grownups" a bit
of harm to give a kindly word to
these little fellows as we meet them,
and it would do them a world of
good. A bright smile and cheer
full word to them will flood their
hearts with the sunshine of life and
lift them up to that higher plane
which creates men among men.

How Much Gold Can a Man carrya

How Much Gold Can a Man Garry?
If a man of average muscular
strength, strong man and very
strong man were told they might
have as much gold as they could
carry mile
The average man might carry
100 pounds of gold mile. He
would have over $4,000 if he sue
ceeded.
The strong man could perhaps
get to the end of his mile with $50
pounds of gold. He would have
about $39,750.
The very strong man could posi-
bly, struggle to the end of his mile
with 200 pounds. That would give
him about $53, O00.-Exchange.

PARCEL POST PACKAGES
OF LARGE SIZE ACCEPTED

Postmaster General Burleson has
ordered that the size limit of pack
ages for parcel post shipment be
increased to- combined length
and girth of eighty-four inches,
which will permit the mailing of
standard sized fruit and berry
crates. The old limit was seventy
two inches length and girth, and
there has been a widespread demand
for its increase.
The Postmaster General also au-
thorized the establishment of a re-
ceipt system for parcel post pack
ages similar to that employed by
express companies.

Victor Hugo.

Victor Hugo was born in Besan-
con, France, in 1902. He was the
son of a colonel in the French army
and received classical education.
After the revolution of 1880 his
plays of "Marion de Lorme" and
"The King Amuses Himself" we're
performed at the Theatre Francois.
He was created by Louis Philippe a
peer of France, with the title of
viscount, but he arose above this
honor in being the author of 'Les
siiserabies." He opposed Napoleon
III. and was banished from France,
but he returned on the fall of the
empire. He died in Paris in 1885
and was buried in the Pantheon.

WALKING STICKS.
Other Reasons For Their Use Apast
From Mere Appearances,


The terms walking stick" and
"cane" are practically synonymous.
Some one has said, "At twenty we
carry a switch, at thirty cane, and
at sixty a stick" The word "cane"
originally meant a reed, in which
the whole is made up Of segments
or parts, as in rattan OF bamboo,
but through usage the original
meaning has been lost and the word
has come to mean walking stick.
just why do men carry canes?
Well, there are various reasons. The
cane still retains some of its origi-
nal usefulness, being a weapon of
defense, if need be, as well as an ac-
cessory of attire.
A well known doctor has said:
"Carry walking stick and you will
never be round shouldered or have
your chest in your back, instead of
in its proper place. 1t stands to
reason" he continues, shat walk
ing stick pulls your arm back and
your chest forward, whereas those
who do not carry a stick of some
sort don't know what to do with
their hands, so they put them in
their pockets and simply SLOUGH
along anyhow"
Aside from its use as support
and guide for the lame. the halt
and the blind, therefore, the cane
has a distinct reason for being.
Even from a psychological stand
point, if we agree with Lotze in his
"Microcosmos," the cane fulfills a
mission. Lotze says, every stick
which we use not as support, but
as toy to be carried in the hand,
awakens the same consciousness OF
a prolongation of our personality to
its extremity"
In other words, our personality
goes out to the tip of the cane and
to the top of the hat, and we al
ways feel dressed up if we carry a
cane, just as we do if we wear a
high hat.-Dry Goods Economist.

Stone Sinners.

The cattle herders near the from
tier at Gibraltar have an uncommon
method of keeping their charges
from straying. They carry slings,
and, if beast strays away, like Da-
vid they pull a pebble out Of a
pouch and sling it with an unerring
aim at the straggler. A dull
"plomp," followed by the bullock's
immediate return to the herd, is the
result.-Wide World Magazine.

The Arabs, clever horsemen as

cost A,232. Under revision of the con-
tract let for the present session, wherein
the corrected copy of the journal which
has been paid for at the rate OF $50 a
page, could be cut out and the printed
COPY or pin ksheet placed on the mem
bers' desks each morning could be given
two days instead of one for the printing,
cutting out the necessity of double time
for night work. the 1915 journal would
probably cost s4,6s6. making difference
this year about $40 or Whereabouts.
He thought that the advantages to be
gained would more than make up for the
extra cost. He also recommended the
typewriter engrossed bill instead OF the
printed bill as another saving in cost.
