TEMPER
[By Walt Masonl

When your temper jumps the
track, so it's hard to get It back,
when you rip and paw the dirt, you're
the only one that's hurt
Did you ever pause to think how It
puts you on the blink, when your
temper breaks away from the place
where IL should stay? How It's kept
from you the kale, and prevented a
many a sale, driven patrons from
your door, with the hearts within
them sore, and disOrganized the
clerks. and upset the whole blamed
works.
Every man in business knows for
ty thousand kinds of woes; there are
worries every hour, cares that make
the spirit sour, and mans tempted to
cut loose, now and then, and raise
the deuce, now and then he'd like to
shrek and go crazy for a week; now
and then he'd like to roar and kick
pieces from the floor; but it's better
far to hold down his temper, well
controlled
When you let your temper fly. it is
costing you too high: for II hurts
NOu III gDtl l'GdlNlt anu IL y fl'b w
lose you wealth; and 1t puts your
business lame, and it hurts you in
your fame, and it wearies nerve and
brain, and it gives your friends a
pain, and you make your work a
cross, and your life a total loss.
In the past my temper ran on the
rough and tumble plan, and I'd turn
the blamed thing loose every time
there was excuse; but l found it
hurt me worst every time it took a
burst; so l taught it to behave and l
ceased to rant and rave, and my hair
quit turning gray, and Pm blithe and
young today. Now my temper is so
tame, any child can drive the same,
and it doesn't balk or shy when the
motor cars 90 by.
That's the first thing man should
learn, if the coin he wants to earn,
if he'd see his business grow, and
avoid all brands of woe. Be serene
and calm and cool; that's a first rate
business rule. Mr.. Business man, l
feel, that this will to you appeal, for
these times bring many cares, and
the troubles bring gray hairs. And
our troubles but grow worse If we
storm around and curse.
Keep your temper; that's a plan
that will help out every man.-Mas-
ter Printer.

WHE RE
Is EurOpe's Great and InfaIIi
BILE Bold Standard -?
[The Saturday Blade. ]

One day last week the American
dollar was worth from 5 to 10 per
cent above par 1t was worth from
$1.O5 to $1.1O in foreign countries.
In England in normal times they will
give you a pound sterling for a five
dollar bill Last week the English
pound sterling was only worth $3.50
or $4.55 in the United States. In
France they give you five francs for
one American dollar Now it takes
nearly six francs in this country to
buy an American dollar. German
money, measured by the American
dollar, has fallen about 16 per cent
Austrian 26 per cent, Italian 26 per
cent and Russian 26 per cent, as a
result of war conditions. The for
mer situation has been reversed.
The European countries now bring
their money here to buy the Ameri-
can dollar; we no longer send our
money abroad.
For many years the Europeans
have bought American stocks and
bonds because they were sure to get
the interest and finally the principal
when due. Now our industrial and
railroad bonds are better than Euro
pean government bonds. We are no
longer sending American securities
to Europe; and those which Europe
held are being sent over here as CO.
lateral for war loans. Two big rail
road corporations, the Pennsylvania
and the New York Central have
cleaned up over million dollars
apiece in two weeks by buying back
bonds and paying for them in pounds
and francs instead of dollars, saving
the difference in the rate Of ex-
change.
1t is expected that before the war
ends nearly all American stocks and
bonds will be held in the United
States While this will use up a
good deal of American money in the
banks, it will be good thing for the
country, as all of that interest will
be spent in the United States. 1t
makes little difference who owns a
bond; the chief item is where the
interest is spent. The interest will
amount to over $100,000,000 a year,
more than three times the interest
on our national debt. 1t 100000
900 more were added to the yearly
value of our agricultural or manu-
featuring products of the United
States, it would be the basis for per-
manent good times Now we will
have $100,000,000 profit a year,
spent all at home 1t will make
things hum.

DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH

The Portsmouth Daily Times says
that Willis Doth Protest too Much. "
In leading editorial of recent date
is this;
For the past four days our good
young governor has been issuing a
proclamation every odd hour de-
claring he had anything to do with
encouraging referendum on the Nc
Dermott law which changes the meth
cd of appointing liquor license
commissioners. AS a mere incident.
of course, the large part of his multi
tudinous harangues are given to de-
nouncing the traducers, who coupled
his name with the unholy undertake
ing. Maybe he had nothing to do
with the referendum, but the more
vehemently he denies he did the more
Is suspicion aroused that he at least
winked at it. AS a matter of fact,
so strongly does the evidence point
to the fact that those close to the
shrine of his official household were
connected with it, that ignorance on
his part is blundeT and in states
manship a blunder is worse than a
crime That political repeal of the
new statute would be assumed to the
advantage of his administration is
apparent enough, since if the McDer-
mott law stands the selection will go
to certain county officials and this
would enable the Democrats to con-
troll a large part of them, if not ac-
tually majority, while if the referen-
dunn should carry our good young go
vernon would have personal control
over the whole kit and parcel. 1t is
not denied after the furious chase
which he has personally set afoot for
the state jobs, both big and little,
this would be an entirely acceptable
situation to him"

JOHNSON
The Celebrated Clown Of the Ha-
Eenback-WaIIace Circus, Was
Once An Architect.

From the work of an architect to
that of circus clown is a long jump
but one which was made by Harvey
Johnson, principal clown with the
Hagenbeck Wallace Circus which
comes to Wapakoneta, Wednesday,
Sept. 1S, for two performances.
For fifteen years Johnson was a
past master of the blue prints I'm his
Chicago office. He was very success
full and he drew the plans and super
| intended the construction of many
buildings. One day a circus came to
Chicago, and, like hundreds of 9TH
ers, he thought he would have to go
and carry the children. He watched
the clowns and underneath their
makeup he saw the seriousness with
which they worked. 1t impressed
him.
Leaving the show grounds John
son began to think about the clowns.
He went to the public library and
dug up books as far back as those
which dwelt with the days of the cir
Gus in the Roman Coliseum. He read
about Grimaldi and other ancient
buffoons. Then he began to work
out stunts and tricks. He placed
them on paper and developed them
stage by stage. He found veteran
clown who assisted him in his work.
Finally he got job with small cir
Gus at a still smaller salary.
But Johnson liked the work; that
Of making others happy. The stunts
he developed were really marvellous
They were totally different from ordi-
nary clowns stunts. A scout of the
Carl Hagenbeck-W Wallace Circus saw
Mr. Johnson and Immediately gave
him a contract. For eight years he
has been Glowing for a liyin'," as
he tersely expresses it, and, apparent
ly he is in love with the fapsticks.
1t is very different act that Mr..
Johnson can not get burlesque of
some kind on. Some of his stunts
for this year are: "The Suffragette
Parade" Mutt and Jeff" ''The At
lantic City Boardwalk" and Broad
way After Dark" Mr.. Johnson has
forty-nine clowns assisting him in his
work

The impression has gained ground
in state circles that the proposed ref
erendum elections on Willis laws are
to be hamstrung, if possible. Such
inconsistent action is well in keep
ing with the other vagaries of Gov
ernor Willis the echoes of whose
voice in arraignment of preventing
election under manifestly fraudulent
petitions, still reverberate in the
Ohio hills.
The smelling committee appointed
by the governor to ferret out those
of his own appointees who were en-
gagged in petition peddling, has been
turned loose on another job, the eff
feet of their work being to aid in the
prevention of referendum in any way
possible. Governor Willis is insist
ing that the referendum petitions be
invalidated at any cost and he fears
to let the matter rest in the hands
of the boards of elections to whom
the work has been delegated. Prt-
vately his reason for this action is
that there is some suspicion that the
Secretary of State is not above sus-
picion in connection with the attack
on the McDermott law. The smell
ing committee is expected to furnish
complete material against the refer
endum on the McDermott law even
if not successful in having the petit
tion thrown out 1t looks like the
eleven gizzards" governor was
afraid to let the people pass on his
illustriOuS work.

The Willis highway act is now a
law, but it is not a law that will
build roads as was done before its
passage. 1t is poorly constructed, in
many respects meaningless, and the
statement is made that it will stop
all effective state road work for the
next two years. The attorney gener-
al is now pondering over fifty ques-
tions presented under the law by
those interested in the work Now a
constitutional question is to be rails
ed which will under this law probably
invalidate the state levy and Ohio
goes back into the mire. Truly the
state highway department is decen-
traliZed.

How Do You Do2

What Is your normal attitude toward yourself? Much depends upon this. When you lCok at the great. wide world and then at yourself in your own little center of it, how does it impress you? That is to say, are you con stant source of surprise and wonder. ment to yourself, which causes you ever and anon to halt in your tracks. look back over the road you came and marvel that you were ever able to make 1t?
 Or do you take yourself for granted and consider that 1t is the most nat ural thing in the world for you to be where you are and doing what you are?

Frederick's War on Coffee.

Tn manifesto issued by Frederick the Great in 17T0 the mighty monarch deplorcd the increased consumption of coffee by my subjects and thC amount of money that goes out of tbH country in consequence. Everybody is using coffee. This must no longer be. My subjects must drink beer. His majesty was brought up on beer, and so were his ancestors. Innumerable battles have been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer, and the king does not believe that coffee drink ing soldiers can be depended upon to endure hardships or to conquer his en- emies should another war occur" Cof
 fee roasting was made a government monopoly. and prohibitive price was charged for the berry. Coffee smell CTS" were appointed all over Prussia to check illicit roasting. Coffee was therefore busted from popular favor.

ThrowInu Dirty Water,

An English legal periodical recently published an inquiry sent to it by a lawyer as to the origin of queer be- lief encountered by him-that it Is no offense to throw water on person. provided the water be dirty. X client of his. summoned for assault, had as sured him that he had sufficient de fense, because he had taken the pre- caution of putting handful of dirt in the water before throwing it. Another correspondent. suggested as the solu- tion the ancient practice, before the days of drains and sewers, of throw ing waste water into the street. When this practice was prevalent doubtless the fact that the water was dirty in stead of clean was circumstance tending to show that the wetting of the unfortunate passerby was mis- adventure rather than by design.

Don't Be a Tortoise.

The tortoise is a testudinatc, terres- trial reptile. He i3 Il half brother to the turtle. which so often gets into the soup. The tOrtOiSe's motto is Take Ii Easy" Next to the sponge and the oyster. which require the hook to be moved at all, he is the Slowest animal in the world. A Greek of the name of AeSOp. who lived centuries ago, told of race between the tortoise and the hare in which the tortoise got the tro- phy. The hare, according to Aesop, got so far in the lead that he took nap. and, forgetting to wake up. the tortoise passed him. The truth of the matter is that by the time the tor toise had caught him the hare had died of old age. A tortoise lets the dear old world wag and waddlcs complacently on. You couldn't speed him up if you built fire under him. for his shell is so thick that he wouldn't know he was being roasted. Because of his impcr- turbability and his utter deadness to impressions the tortoise lives to great age. But. no matter how old or how big he grows, he never improves intellectually, and eventually he lands in museum, to be viewed as a curl CSity. Don't be Il tortoiSe.-Maurice Switzer in Judge.

Nelson and Nilleneuve.

When Nelson fell at Trafalgar he was only forty-seven years old. and the French commander, Admiral de Villeneuve, was only forty-two. The latter was brilliant sailor. who had already fought against Nelson. and he thoroughly realized what the English tactics were going to be on this occa- sion. Indeed, he held meeting of the captains of the allied fleet and lucidly explained them. Nelson would not, he said, form line of battle parallel with the allied line. He will seek to pierce our line, surround our rear and over power with groups of his vessels as many of ours as he can cut off Still although prepared for this form of at tack, Villeneuve failed to re ist 1t, and he was taken prisoner, bitterly regret ting that no shot had dealt him the same fate aS Nelson.-London Chroni cle

Needed It.

Old Chief Singing Hound was a patriarchal Indian on one of the far western reservations. Tourists ire quently visited the old man. He had the dignity of king and a taciturn disposition that belied his name.
 One day d party of eastern travellers hunted out the old man. Among them was a young woman who was logged out in the latest style. Her neck was bare. as were her arms. Her garments what there were of them-were skimpily cut.
 She was fascinated by the chief. Fixing her large, calflike eyes upon him, she stared and stared exactly as though he were a griffin or n unicorn. The chief began to show symptoms of being excessively bored. He eyed the young woman from head to foot in a chilling manner, but 1t did not do a particle of good.
 Finally the young woman spoke.
 What perfectly lovely blanketw she exclaimed. "I wish had it.' She referred to the blanket which enwrap- ped the chief.
 Without word he removed it and tossed 1t st her feet. He gave her and her coStume-a parting glance.
 You take um," he grunted. You need um most!'
 And he stalked away. - Pittsburgh Press

Penthouse Burned,

Fire of unknown origin broke out shortly before midnight Saturday and destroyed the penthouse maintained by the town of Torrington, situated about three miles from the center some dis tance beyond the Drakeville district of the Norfolk road.
 The town farm is in charge of MT. and MT. John Parsons and has num- Der of inmates, for the most part adults. So little warning had the occupants Of the buildings that many of them had to get out in their night clothes and face tie biting cold winds. It is thought the blaze originated from the furnace. It had gained consideraLls headway, all of the occupants of the house being asleep, before one of the number was aroused from his sleep. The alarm was quickly given and fortunately all were able to leave.
 The loss is estimated at 1000. practically covered by insurance.
 The inmates of the poorhouse were provided for by the nearest neighbor and Sunday the selectmen secured quarters for the unfortunates at vari- ous places ill town.

Oakland and the East Bay Cities are ready and able to accommodate multitudes of people who visit the Exposition, and it is here that most of them will stop, for the conditions are ideal and the transpor tation to and from the Fair Ground perfect Oakland is city of hotels and large rooming houses, and welcomes one and all to be her guest.
 In conclusion, let me say to my East ern friends, that you should not fail to see the Panama Pacific and Interna- tional Exposition us it is going to be the greatest show the world has ever seen. The exposition is going to be open on time, and the war in Europe is going to have but little effect upon II.

buildings and grounds are very beauti ful. The University of California has an enrolment of about five thousand five hundred. East of Oakland is Alameda, a city of splendid homes. Besides, Berkeley, Richmond and Alameda, there are Waywards, San Le Andro and Melrose, beautiful little places in which to live.
 Across the bay seven or eight miles, is San Francisco, a place of between four and five hundred thousand people. San Francisco is the commercial center of California, and is hustling busi- ness place. The business interests are too varied and vast to need description.
 No city ever collected herself and built up faster than she did after being demolished by an earthquake Her fiue buildings are splendid business en- terprises and her ability to overcome obstacles are marvellous. Since the fire all is new, even Chinatown is a model of neatness The transportation from Oakland and surrounding terri tory to San Francisco, is well nigh perfect, the trollies and ferries ply back and forth constantly and take care of multitude of people who travel back and forth. The trip across the bay is all that one could desire, for the bay and it's surroundings are beauty itself.
 The views of the Golden Gate from the elevation above are very fine. The street cars run out to the Cliff House and to all the places of interest. Golden Gate Park is very beautiful. Here are seen beautiful trees, shurbs and flowers, many of which are new to the New Englander. The park also contains museum, where one can spend many hours, profitably. Sutro Park and the Sutro Baths are visited by many and should not be overlooked for they are worth seeing. San Francisco has palatial hotels The Palace, the St. Francis and the Fairmont are the largest, but there are many others that are up to date and give splendid ser vice. The postoffice is the best have seen. The Ferry Building is the most interesting place anywhere around the bay.
 It is here that the products of the state are shown to their best advantages
