A, Short and ProfitabIs Patent.
From the Wall Street Journal.

lno pd6Sl
Perhaps the shortest patent application
extant Is the ore on file In the patent Of
fee at Washington, which reads: II claim
a patent on a screw with a gimlet point. 1"
Previous to that all screws used in wood
work had been OF the blunt end variety,
and the carpenter had to carefully bore a
hole with a gimlet or augur before insert
ing his screw and forcing II home. The
advent of the screw with q gimlet point
which would bore itself In. revolutionized
this. . ...
| This patent was held by the American
Screw Company, Of Providence, r. l., and
before the patent ran out and Il was Inn
possible for others to manufacture II with
out damage suits, this company made tre-
mendous profits. The demand for the gim-
let pointed screw was, OF course, immense
and the company did not know what to
do with it's profits. r....
All Of its dray horses were carefully Sc
lected blacks and tremendous prices were
paid for good stock. The harness was Of
patent leather trimmed with red, while
the wagons plying back and forth between
the factory and the docks or the railroad
had red undergear to match the harness
trimmings, and the wheels were decorated
with gold ,eaf, IA karat fine. But this Is
all past. Today the pointed screw can be
purchased at any corner store for a few
cents a package.

A thick batter, from which cakes

FINDING FAULT WITH HIM.

II you have a husband who is trying
hard the best way he can to get along,
don't be a milestone around his neck
to hamper him In his bitter tight with
the harsh world. One word OF en-
couragement from the woman he loves
will put heart and strength in him to
make renewed efforts; her sneer will
make him so respondent that the light
est blow struck at him by an unfeeling
stranger will force him down and out.
1t Is every mans right to have O
happy home IL he provides one for
his wife and assumes the RESPONSE
bility OF Its upkeep. II his nerves and
brain have been on the rack all day
by business cares and worries, he
should find peace, comfort, love, con-
sideration and cheerfulness within the
four walls OF his home. $780,.
Wives may not think that such hus-
bands need coddling, and loving, but
they do, What encouragement has q
husband who has worked hard all day
IL he Is met by q fretful wife who
Is ever ready to recite her woes to him,
but never asks him: Did you have a
busy day, dear, and are you tired2 II
you do not feel like going out we will
postpone going to the movies or con-
cert or lecture until some other time"
How grateful the average husband
would be fore such kindly solicitude,
which tac lily proved to him beyond the
power OF mere words, how dear he was
to her.
Even IL a husband does err In his
judgment now and then he should not
be made to feel that he had committed
an objectionable folly. Wise Is the
wife who throws her arms about his

he has done everything for the best,
and that success will come their way
when he Is lest expecting it-that her
confidence In HIM is unsuitable. Such
a husband will have renewed strength
to try again, aye. and keep on trying
until he really does win out.
Many a man has q dread OF telling
his wife Of his business affairs when
they go wrong, fearful OF her up
braidings, which would be but add
ing fuel 10 the fire Of his discourage
ment. Don't find fault with q good,
deserving husband. Worthy ones are
hard to get, being few and far be-

that he looks every inch king'-Of the

And he Is O king who recalls the best
traditions OF the lighting kings OF old
when they marched with the men, or lad
them, TO victory or defeat
From the beginning he has been In the
thick Of the fight for his country, shar-
ing the fortunes of war with his COM
rades-tTye king and true soldier, asking
nothing hRt to serve.
And II has been valiant, Inspiring SER

Of kings whose swords we're drawn Tor

The vision Of his Belgium, laid waste
by the invader: the ashes Of its ruined
homes; the shadows of his wandering
people; the tears of the innocent and or
phaned ones-all these are with him, up
holding, nerving him for every ordeal
He Is king In khaki, who holds that

Is his business to coordinate all: and to

which arrive with the old in a

standard required by present condi-
tons Of warfare. Despite his life Of
unremitting application he has few
grey hairs at 81; and he gives the i'm
preston of the physical vigor and en-
durance which enables him to keep up
the pace OF 16 hours hard work day.
Those who go into his office know him
as man OF few words, a good listener,
who sticks to the facts and never in
dulges in theories.
He does not hesitate to do away
with red tape" said one Of his as
ststants. 1.-THE essential point with him
is to get the thing done. During the
retreat from Mons we lost a great deal
OF material. Among other things Of
Ulcers and mer lost all their equipment
even including their caps in some in
stances. AS the government clothes
and equips the men they could be
cared for. But the officers pay for
their own. They would have to fill
out certain forms for reimbursement
which would have to go to the war Of
fice-but Sir William settled that in a
minute by giving orders that they
should be supplied, and we could take
care Of the red tape afterward.
Throughout all the vicissitudes Of the
campaign from Mons to the Alsne and
then to the Ypres-Armentieres line
the soldiers never went short of food.
Regardless of red tape and any other
obstacles he saw that in some way or
other their rations reached them. He
is proud of the fact that he rose from
the ranks and he dislikes publicity. His
one supreme interest is his work. He
likes work for works sake"

THE ENDLESS BATTLE.
Henry George.

Look around today. Lo, here and
now in our civilized society, the old
aIlegories yet have meaning, the
old myths are still true. Into the
Valley OF the Shadow Of Death yet
often the path OF Duty leads;
through the streets Of Vanity Fair
walk Christian and Faithful; and
on Greatheart's aTmor ring the
changing blows. Ormuzd still lights
with Ahriman-the Prince OF Light
with the powers of darkness. He
who win hear, to him the clarions
of the battle call.
How they call. and call, and call,
till the heart swells that hears

deavor, the world needs them now.
Beauty still lies imprisoned and iron
wheels still go over the good, the
true and the beautiful that might
spring from human lives.
And they who fight with Ormuzd.
they may not know each other
somewhere, sometime. will their
muster roll be called.
