Home For n HOLIDAY.

Some men on home holiday tinker
all day long. others bring with them a
great many books which they never
read, and the result in both cases is
that housekeeping becomes a pro-
longed picking up. All men at home
on a vacation eat great deal more
than other men or than at other times,
but with the sole exception Of the
anomalous academic. who is always
concerned for his gastronomy, they will
eat anything and enjoy it and say so.
A man at home for his holiday is al
ways vociferously appreciative. His
happiness is almost enough to repay
woman for the noise he makes and
the mess, yet statistics could show that
during any mans home vacation the
women of the house lose just about as
many pounds as the man gains. But
what are women for. or homes April

People Who Do Big Things Do Not Let
Themselves Be Held.
1t was on the football field at one of
the large colleges. A big tackle had
been brought over to the varsity field
from one of the class elevens. 1t was
his first experience with the big team.
He played a fine game until the other
side had the ball. Then he did net
break through" as he should. The
coach finally stopped the play and
went over to him.
What is the trouble? Why don't
you get through" he said
THE man opposite me is not playing
fair. He is holding me-" said the
tackle.
IF he holds you again I'll put you
off the fieldP' flashed back the coach.
OF course. as the tackle said. it is
against the rules to hold an opponent
unless he has the ball. but the coach
wanted results and not excuses. His
position was that a man ought somehow
to break away; that no man must let
himself be held And that is true. no
one ought to let himself be held. The
excuse may be excellent, but a player
who is held is put out Of the game as
effectively as If he were off the field.
He might just as well be off the field.
The people who accomplish things
worth while in the world are those
who will not let themselves be held.
There have always been things enough
to hold them. They might have found
excellent excuses, but they have not
had to use any excuses.-Youth's Com

THE Germans seem to be smashing
things right and left in Russia. The
latest is the taking of the fortress
Brest- Litovsk, the greatest strong
hold in Russia. This deprives the
Russians of field base of sufficient
size to serve for the operations Of
huge Russian field armies. Deprived
of their base at Warsaw, the Slavs
counted upon Best-Litovsk. No
other Russian city possesses the rail
road and natural advantages neces-
sary for an important military base
nearer than Moscow or Petrograd.
Some military critics rated Brest-
Litovsk as of more Importance to the
Russians from a strategic standpoint
than Warsaw itself.

thick as hairs on a dog?

CERTAINLY the tall headlines, ring
ing the changes on the idea that dip
lomatic relations with Germany were
about to be severed, look very cheap
today in view of Germany's frank
disavowal of intention to commit an
unfriendly act and her request for
time to ascertain what really hap
pened. About the only indication of
any disturbance between Germany
and this country, has been brought
about by lingo papers whose editors
have knack of writing half colum
of headlines, having no bearing upon
the article which is headed.
