Long Branch, N. j., Oct. 49,
President Wilson left Shadow Lawn
at noon today for Cincinnati on his
final swing into the middle west be-
fore election. His train will pass
through West Virginia and Ohio on
the way and the president will con-
tinue his practice Of greeting crowds,

speeches.
In Cincinnati he is scheduled for
four speeches = one in response to
an address Of welcome, another at
luncheon, a third at dinner and last
and most important, night address.
1t is expected in one of these
speeches Wilson will devote consid-
cradle time to the hyphen issue, TAX
ing a cue from the interest of Gin
cinnati's large foreign population in
such a topic.

Why Coins Are MilIed.

Did you ever look at the edge of a dime or quarter? They are different from pennies and nickels, for all silver and gold coin have what are called ''milled" edges, while the edges of pennies and nickels are smooth. The reasons for this is that some dishonest persons used to clip pieces off the coins, especially the gold ones, and then sell these scraps of precious metal when they had saved great many. Every year the nation lost large sums of money this way, and the thieves would smooth the edges off so well that it was hard to find out who was guilty. The best way of stopping this practice was found to be to ''mill'' the edges of the most valuable coins sc that no one could pare them without letting it be seen at once. = Kansas City Star. F..

He Who Shirks His Work.

The man who shirks his work, who treats the service of labor with indif. ference, who sacrifices his efficiency on the altar of self indulgence, loafs on his job and plans to see how little he can do and not be caught, is to be the most pitied man on the face of the earth.
 He thinks he is cheating his em. ployer. But the employer is not the man he is cheating. Far from it. He is cheating himself More than cheat ing himself, he is assassinating oppor tunity and paving the way to utter ruin and disgrace.
 The man who cannot be trusted with labor for which he is honestly paid is just as despicable as the man who re fuses to pay for labor honestly per formed. The shirker is essentially dis honest. Unfaithful to himself, setting the bomb that will sooner or later send him to poverty, he is menace and ar abomination.-Dayton Journal.

Durinu a Thunderstorm,

Do not use the telephone. The tele. phone wires may receive a heavy charge
 Keep away. from stoves, radiators and the like. They are large metallic masses, likely to become heavily charged. ...e
 Avoid screen doors or other metallic bodies connecting with the exterior of the building. e....
 Keep away from chimneys and open screened windows.
 Out of doors the most dangerous places are under isolated trees and near wire fences in open fields.
 Small sheds and other shelters are dangerous if isolated from larger build ingS. -...,-
 Thick timber is undoubtedly the safest place to Seek out of doors, since a single tree in forest is not so likely to receive stroke as single person or an object in an open space of equal area.-Country Gentleman.

A Savinq Man.

If the fame of all great men were sung enc memEer of our community would be known far Ecyond the circle of family and frienLs. N'e believe that i'll one regard he has few equals. Give him something to save for. something not too far off and not too vague, and he will keep the money in his pockets until it Is black with pocket wear.
 He has saved money for several yards of finely bound books, one or two vol umes of which he has actually read. He has saved money with which to join secret orders and uniforms there of. By frugal attention to pennies and nickels, pairing an expense here, mak- ing a rigid self denial there, he has saved the price of an automobile. In March he begins to save for vacation, and along about August he begins sav- ing for Christmas.
 But our friend cannot save for rainy day. He cannot save for investment. There has never been a serious thought in his mind about old age, impairment of working and earning powers, sick ness and unemployment.-Toled Blade

 Napoleon liked to look at them, but did not like them. to look at him, hence those two shutters. one with q hole on level With his eye while standing and the other with hole adapted to his vision while seated.

The Spectaci.u A.sa.

The spectacled bear of Ecuador is so called because of patch of white around each eye, which makes the ami mal look as though he was peering through a pair of great spectacles. In size and general color the spectacled bear looks not unlike the American black bear But its hair is very shag- gy. At each side of the head is a white bar, which gives the animal the appearance of wearing halter. But the most distinctive feature is the white around the eyes.
