A fire stirs up q neighborhood con- siderably; an ambulance stopping at one of the homes in the block brings most of the women to their front win dows; wedding keeps the interest of all at fever pitch until after the last old shoe has been thrown, but let the man of the family that has recently moved into the vicinity be seen about the house after 10 o'clock in the morn ing two or three days in succession, and curiosity rages. Once it is discovered that he doesn't go down town to work at the time other men do. it is a safe bet, when two or more women are seen together, they are making guesses on the newcomers occupation.-Detroit Free Press

FORMING HABITS.

Be careful about how you form habits. Some young people never consider habit forming. They form none but accidental and unconscious habits. They know so little that they think they could change any habit they have in a day. Yet in reality they are binding themselves in chains of iron and making free and happy life impossible for them- selves later on.

How does II seem to kill man?
That question was put to Fritz
kreislsr. the famous vioiinist, the
other day upon his return to Amer
lea after an exciting time In his
old home where he had been called
TO the colors and forced to kill at
least one man before he could es-
cape with his own life.
Kreis1er explained he did not be-
lieye In killing men and that he had
not done so as an individual. 1t
was only as q part OF the Austrian
Army that he was called on to kill.
The man he killed was not per-
sonqls enemy OF Kreisfer's. Neither
bore tho other any I'll will, but each
was trying to be the first to get at
the other when Kreisicr tired the
telling shot.
How many men the violinist killed
before the final killing he does not
know. In every war there are many
more men who return home without
killing anyone than there are kill
ers, The majority of lighters are
not killed I'M either army. There
fore, the killers are vastly in the
minority.
