villages. But how were things delivered
before the days of wagons?
In the early days OF this country goods
were carried on horseback. Great pack
saddles were slung across the horses (or
mules, as the case might be) and car
ried in their big pouches more than you
would think they could hold.
Before that, in the early Indian days,
the Indians carried all their camp out
fit on queer "drags" they made of poles.
Two strong poles were cut and seasoned.
Then they were laid side by side and
about two feet apart. Strong thongs now
laced the two poles together and the drag
was ready for its load Sometimes an
animal was trained TO drag the burden,
but more often the women OF the camp
dragged after them the heavy loads that
we're piled on the drags and the men
nshed and hunted care-free during the
Journey
Some time when you want a very jolly
play make yourself a drag" and see
what fun you can have playing Indian.
Get two poles-long ones like mothers
clothes props are the very best length
and kind-and lash them together with
rope or strips OF cloth. Then lay on the
two poles all the things you need for
your play and start the game. See how
easy It is TO drag the burden? You can
carry more than you could lift. And
you can easily move your camp from one
part OF the yard 10 another, or from one
spot IA the woods to a better one. II you
are lucky enough TO be playing In woodsy
places.
But all that Is relic OF long ago.
How do you suppose the burdens are
carried In places where there are no
wagons no motors. nO-anything that We
call civilization IN these days2
Through the Orient the people carry all
the burdens on their heads, on their
shoulders or strapped across their backs.
The women learn to carry great weights
on their heads. lf you want TO see II
that IS easy 10 do. try carrying heavy
book across the front porch and then
ina glne what fun % II would be 10
earry a hundred pounds that same wayD
In some countries tie people wear
wooden yokes across their shoulders ana
on each end Of the yoke burden is

In business VIII then be a great handi-
cap and you will mourn the lost op-
portunlties which never can return.
Put your very best into your job just
now. Take 1t very seriously and make
of II something splendid. Time spent in
honest work is never wasted. Instead
It will repay you thousand fold. Not
only will you be certainly promoted, but
you will find that you are infinitely hap
pier.
For sheer hard work brings n great
satisfaction in its train. Idlers never
are really happy. They realize that
they don't count for very much in n
world of workers. And to count as
somebody really worth while is one OF
the rewards of work. The Importance of
being earnest in whatsoever the hand

ONE-PIECE DRESSES A SENSIBLE

.THE girl who is beginning

two ways. She saves con-

great many new things TO

as afternoon frocks. tailored

and such things. The top
coat which did service last
season can be made to serve
another year.
Travelling costumes are
usually the hardest things
TO determine upon. FASH
ionabls shops are showing
plenty OF practical styles for
travelling wear in navy blue
silk. Taffetas and foulard
are the most common ma
terials 10 wear while travel

nor hold the dust. The
vogue OF the tailored suit
has given way. in many
cases, to that OF the one

Tiptonville, Tenn, June ali.
w. Scott, who has been making ar
rangements for drilling for oil near
Reelfoot Lake, has secured leases
on a large amount of land, and the
company he represents is now ready
to begin active operations. The ma

now on the way to the field. Mr..
Dennison, of New York, who is con-

"The launching of this big dread

event which tells better than can be
spoken by any words the steady and
orderly growth of the navy. With

pleasure of witnessing at Quincy
the launching of the Nevada, at
Camden of the Oklahoma, and at
Newport News of the Pennsylvania,
and now to-day of the Arizona. This
follows close upon the completion of
our two latest dreadnoughts, the
New York and the Texas.
"As soon as the Arizona leaves
the ways we will here begin actual
work upon the Cali
fornia, much of the material for
which has already been contracted
for and which will be equipped with
electric propulsion, being the first
of the modern dreadnoughts of any
country to utilize this recently test
ed and successful new motive power,
which promises to be a revolution

sistencies and foibIes of life. He was
unsparing in bis criticism of hypocrites
and the fools who are fools because they
refuse to accept or create new ideas.
He spoke OF the men who are martyred
for what they say and others who are
martyred for what they do. He laid
stress upon the fact that whatever a
man thinks most about that will he
become.
Departing from his vein of sarcasm,
Mr. Fletcher paid beautiful tribute to
Judge Ben Lindsey, of Denver.
Although Mr.. Fletcher voted for
Theodore Roosevelt for president he con-
demned the colonel for attempting to
make political capital out of the Lusi-
tania disaster and endorsed the belief of
a London newspaper that Woodrow Will
son is the worlds greatest citizen.
