Wanted the Pair.

1t is on the country circuit, and
the audience is sadly lacking in APP
probation of the efforts of the actors.
Catcalls and groans, vegetables and
eggs are directed at the stage, but
still the well-meaning performer, who
is in the midst of a long monologue,
continues to recite his lines.
Finally a despairing spectator hurls
a shoe on the stage, and the actor
starts to retreat behind the scenes.
Keep on playing!" cries the man.

get the second shoe!"

Seek Safety In Basement.

When you are in a house during a
close and immediate thunderstorm you
should keep the windows shut and
avoid placing yourself between two
large and prominent conductors OF
electricity, such as the water-pipe or
gas main (if your plumber has per-
mitted you to know where they are)
and the fireplace. If the house is a
detached one or a corner house, and
the storm is close, you will be acting
reasonably if you retire into the base
ment until the storm is over.

Quitting
Fountain Inn Tribune.

Fountain Inn Tribune GTx.s
On a certain memorable occa-
sion a statesman of erudition and
Fhard sense proclaimed the re-
Hmarkable truth that "The way
to resume specie payment is to
resume"
Neither before nor since has
The world heard a better piece of
logic.
The way to do anything under
the shining sun is to do it-any-
Thing, that is, except to quit
smoking. The way to quit smok-
ing is to die.
Smoking is much like marriage
anybody can start it, but wide is
the gate and broad is the way
that leads to slavery.
When a boy discards diapers
and learns to button his own
pants, he feels within him an
urge to go forth and do sundry
terrible and homicidal things as
befitting grim and whiskered
person of male tendencies.
No natural boy ever yearned
to be great and good man. All
boys want to be wild and fierce
characters, inspiring terror in the
countryside.
The first step toward.the con-
summation of this ambition is
mastery of the little devil who
turks in tobacco smoke.
Now, learning to smoke is a
complicated and painful process,
requiring fortitude and intense
application. The tongue must
be taught to believe that a sick.
ening, biting, bitter,s ,sweeI:taste is
pleasant: the stomach must be
persuaded that the habit of turn
ing oneself inside out is unbecom-
ing an organ and a gentleman,
and the head lmust be subdued
and tanned SO that it will not spin
around and knock vIciously
against protruding boints in the
Landscape.
Having survivedtthe throes in.
oident to acquiring manhood,
the boy feels that he has arrived.
Spanking may yot fall TO his lot
uyon occasion, but in the privacy
OF the barn loft he can suck a
cigarette and dream fierce drems.
- Through boyhood he smokes
ds an accomplishment. By the
time a little down begins to muss
up his chin and upper lip, smok
ing has kicked him out of the
presiding officers chair and TAX
en- charge of the meeting. He
doesn't realize it, and he doesn't
care. When in doubt he lights
a cigarette.
Along about 80 or IS, when
his hair thins out on top and a
few gold Filings begin 10 show
up in his teeth, he observes that
a little exertion makes him blow
like a .porpoise. He gets "ca.
tarrh" in the head and throat,
and coughs a great deal at night.
His heart shows a tendency to
put down three and carry one.
Then he decides to quit.
Ever make up your mind to
stop smoking. Oh, yes, you
have. Don't tell me.
Each night as you cough you
determine to divorce nicotine. |
Next morning you go about un-
til breakfast, smiling in COM
mendation of your virtue
After breakfast the smile fades.
You wander listlessly; you can't
get thoroughly awake, your
mind won't focus. You get des-
perate and chew gum, but it is |
of no avail.

OUR PUBLIC r
I---Introductory

Through the Press Service of Agri-
culture and Commerce, the master
minds Of this nation will be invited
to the public forum and asked to de-
liver a message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk, and men
who talk seldom achieve. There Is
no such thing IS a noisy thinker, and
brevity is always a close companion
to truth.
It will be a great privilege to stand
by the side of men who a roll In
place the cornerstone of industry; to
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
of It; to commune with men who can
hear the roar of civilization a few
centuries away.
Too often we listen to the rabble
element of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves.
Cruelty him." Mankind never has
and probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
of its day. There never will be a
crown without a cross. progress with
out sacrifice or an achievement with
out a challenge.
This Is an age of service, and that
man Is greatest who serves the larg-
est number. The present generation
has done more to improve the con-
dition of mankind than any civiliza-
ton since human motives began their
upward flight. The Greeks gave human
life inspiration, but while her orators
were speaking with the tongues of
angels, her farmers were blowing
with forked sticks; while her phil
osophers were em~ancipating human
thought from bondage. her traffic

moved on two-wheeled carts driven,
and ofttimes drawn, by slaves; while
her artists were painting divine
dreams on canvas, the streets of
proud Athens were lighted by fire.
brands dipped In tallow.
The genius of past ages sought to
arouse the intellect and stir the soul
but the master minds of today are
seeking to serve. Civilization has as
signed to America the greatest task
of the greatest age, and the greatest
men that ever trod the greatest planet
are solving it. Their achievements
have astounded the whole world and
we challenge every age and nation
to name men or products that can
approach in creative genius or mas
terful skill in organization, the mar
velous achievements of the tremend-
Gus men of the present day. Edison

on multiplied millions of homes; Vail
can take down the receiver and talk
with fifty millions of people; Nc
Cormick's reaper can harvest the
worlds CROP, and Fulton's steam en-
CINE moves the commerce Of land
and sea.
The greatest thing a human being
can do is to serve his fellow men;
Christ did it; Kings decree 1t, and
wise men teach 1t. 1t is the glory of
this practical age hat Edison could
find no higher calling than to become
the janitor to civilization; Vail the
messenger to mankind; Mccormick
the hired hand to agriculture, and
Fulton the teamster to industry, and
blessed is the age that has such
masters for its servants.

HINTS FOR coIFFURE.

: The one law that must not be broken
In the couture of the day is the straight
clean line upward from the nape of
the neck to the lower edge of the
crown. Short hairs are apt to make
this line broken and uneven, and as
the barrette is not fashionable the
twisting sideways of the hair must be-
gin first there, and the loose hairs are
held In place by invisible pins.
A woman will find that by tapping
one side of the hair well over on the
other and pinning it down she will
have less trouble with all uneven ends.

THE CIGARETTE BEETLE
This Tough Little Pest viii Flourish
Even In Cayenne Pepper.

This Tough Little Pest VIII Flourish
Even In Cayenne Pepper.
A tiny but withal practically ON
nivorous little fellow, the cigarette
beetle Is known to science as Lasioder-
ma serricorne. 1t Is common In nearly
all tropical and subtropical countries,
and, as a sample of its catholic tastes,
we may mention that it will breed in
r~aisins, rhubarb, cayenne pepper. rice,
ginger, dried fish. upholstery. ergot,
turmeric, books. cane work, gun wads,
liquorice, saffron, belladonna and in
pyrethrum powder strong enough to
kill co~ckroaches-a varied catalogue to
be sure. 1t is chiefly as a pest of
tobacco. In various forms, however,
that the cigarette beetle has become
notorious. The greatest damage is
done to the wrappers of cigars and
cigarettes. through which it eats small
holes.
The larvae live upon the tobacco leaf,
and a very interesting fact is that the
size of the adult beetles, into which the
larvae eventually develop depends not
only on the quantity, but also on the
quality, of tobacco that has been de-
voured In the immature stages. Ex-
pertinent has shown that in every case
beetles obtained from selected cigars
were double the size Of those from
low grade tobacco. 1t will be remem-
bered that the cheese skipper Is par
tial to the better cheeses; similarly, the
cigarette beetle is somewhat of a o.
~noisseur, for given a free choice cigar
cites are always the first to be infested,
while cheap grade tobacco and cigars
kept in the same room will remain un-
infested for years
Apart from the actual destruction Of
the tobacco leaf. the larvae spoil its
aroma and accordingly ~depreciate its
value; it is some consolation to know
that the adults themselves do no dam
age. This little beetle Is most difficult
to eradicate, and, to that end, an ex-
perimental K ray machine was spe-
cially built at great expense In Amer
lea. The machine was to be capable
