The Literary Trawler
The Ideal Character.

And here it is to be borne in mind
that the Ideal Character is not nee
essarily gifted, or striking, or popu-
lar, or even widely attractive. The
man who owns 1t may be very home
ly, very insignificant; as the world
judges, very uninteresting. But the
character itself bears the sign-man-
ual of Heaven, writ large in Purity,
and Courage, and Gentleness, and
Unselfishness; and the man, by Sc
cret power which he has never real
lied, leavens the world in which his
lot is cast 1t is by the work of grace
in lives such as his that both the
Church and Society are braced and
sanctified; it is from such lives that
truer, loftier, more disinterested,
sterner, yet withal, most assuredly,
not less affectionate, spirit than that
of common men radiates into and
elevates an entire generation.-G. w.
E. Russell in Social Silhouettes."

OUR MISSING PROTEST.

The failure of the United States
Government to enter protest
against the invasion of Belgium by
Germany has been the subject OF
much criticism. Theodore Roosevelt
in a recent article in the Independent,
finds it impossible to square the atti-
tude of the Government with its sig
nature to the Hague conventions.
Either the Hague conventions
meant something, or else they meant
nothing" he writes. III in the event
of their violation none of the sigma
tory powers were even to protest,
then OF course they meant nothing,
and it was an act of unspeakable sill
illness to enter into them. II on the
other hand they meant anything what
soever, 1t was the duty of the United
States, as the most powerful or at
least the richest and most populous

One Good Story
Business Instinct.

1.-The graspin'est man l ever
knowed," said Uncle Jerry PEBBLES,
was an old chap named Snoopins.
Somebody told him once that when he
breathed he took in oxygen and gave
out carbon. He spent a whole day
tryin' to find out which of them two
gases cost the most il you had to buy
'em. He wanted to know whether he
was maxim or losin' money when he
breathed. London Chronicle. :

THE CANDIDATES.

In Columbia it is the primary elec-
tion which presents a real problem to
the voters, and March IL they will
have to decide which of the candi-
dates shall be nominated for city Of
fices-virtually elected.
The Office of mayor is the most i'm
portant one to be filed What should
he be? In the first place. he should
be a man who can give his time to
the work, for Columbia cannot be
looked after in an odd job manner. To
keep track of and know what is be-
ing done in the different departments
of the city's administration, to hear
and handle all the complaints that
are made, and to preside over the
council is full-time job. Then the
mayor should be generally acceptable
to all sections of the city, for If ne
is not, if he enters his Office with any
serious opposition, he cannot accom-
plish the most for Columbia no mat
ter what his other qualifications are.
Good business judgment and the abil-
ity to handle men, to act as mediator
of their differences, are essential If
he is to do the Office justice. And
then the mayor should have the good
of the whole town at heart. AS most
of the city's problems are immedi-
ate, that is as they come up from
time to time and are not things of
long standing contention, it is not
necessary that the candidate pledge
himself to anything other than to act
according to his best judgment on
each question as it arises.
For aldermen, men should be
chosen who understand the city's
needs and who will work for the good
of all Columbia. The city attorney
ought to be competent lawyer who
can advise the mayor and council
rightly so that they will not get into
difficulties or spend time on useless
legislation.
The city's assessor and collector
are very important to its finances.
The former in particular has hard
task. Too often assessments are
made by wholesale guesswork. The
value of a piece of property is more
or less accurately determined, and
then every other piece of property in
the block is assessed at the same
figure. The assessor who will take
the time to list each piece of proper
ty separately according to its own
value is the man to have in Office.
Then only can the collector turn INTO
the treasury the money which Is
really due the city.
Columbia's city marshal is chief
ly concerned in looking after minor
offenders, but this is enough 70 keep
him busy. Merely to wait until called
upon to act is not enodgh. His work
will be far more effective if tic peo-
pie know that he himself is on the
lookout for violations of tie law.
In choosing men for these Offices
the conscientious voter will have a
real problem to meet at the primary
next month.

Nuway Tobacco Curing.

Every tobacco grower knows the
amount of worry labor and expense in
curing tobacco the old way, the danger
of heat running down and spelling a
barn OF tobacco, also the many sleep
less hours tending wood fires.
The Torrid Stove Company are the
originators OF the ''Nuway" Tobacco
Curing, this new process does away
with the fues entirely In their place
is used heavy sheet-me;a', oil-bourn-
ing stove with asbestaS heat dehec-
tor. placing the stove in the center OF
the barn. The oil burner 10 the stove
is made OF heavy cast iron is very sim
pie IN ccastructioD. having no wicks,
yet it is not Z gas burner but burnS the
low grade refined kerosene Oil, thus CO.
ING away with danger Of explosions.
The supply tank IS placed outside the
building and the oil is fed TO the stove
through quarter-iuch pipe. The valve
for controlling the flow OF oil is placed
next 70 the tank and should be placed
near a window with q glass SO the
thermometer can be watched and stove
regulated accordingly.
The smoke pipe from this s:ove is
carried at least four feet above the
highest point OF the building, and is
fully protected by wire screen. There
is also an overflow pipe from toe burn
er, which is constructed outside OF the
building. thus taking care OF The over
flow OF oil should the operator turn ou
more oil than the burner can consume.
The Tobacco Stove is 50 simple in
construction that any boy or girl can
operate it without any trouble. The
s.ov= will burn nearly as low as an or
dinary Kerosene lamp and viii also
furnish a. least 50 c. 100 degrees Of
heat.
The equipment consists 0: Stove,
Smoke-pipe and Screen. Oil-pipc. Tank
and Valve for regulating stove. This
stove can ke installed in nearEy any TO-
