GROW, BUT DON'T SWELL.
Save Exsrtion of Boosting and Use /
In Doing Your Tasks.


In Doing Your Tasks.
1t Is well for you to have confidence
La your ability but when 1t reaches the
stage of swell headedness' your value
to yourself or to any one else begins to
dwindle.
Some men grow with responsibility
others merely swell" The man who
swells has ceased to grow.
He has reached a place where he
thinks he has all the knowledge he
needs, and naturally all growth Is re
tarded
The best way-the most convincing
way-to prove ones capablity Is by
actions, not words.
The fellow who Is continually brag.
ging about what he can do Is seldom OF
much account
1t Is the man who does things In a
quick, intelligent manner who wins.
Such a man will be found at the top
because he deserves to be there.
All concerns want him, because he
not only accomplishes much as the re
suit OF his concentrated endeavor but
his influence Is good on the other EN-
ployees.
Save the exertion 1t takes to tell what
you can do and use 1t In performing
your tasks. In this way you will get
so mueh consideration eventually that
you will not be tempted to brag.
The other fellow win do 1t for you.--

AUSTRALIAN WOOL
REACHES MAXIMUM
IN SPITE or DROUGHT SALES
HAVE CREATED A NEW
RECORD
nv Associated Press

tBy Associated Press.)
SYDNEY, Australia, August 10
The American demand was probably
the most conspicuous feature of the
statistical Australian wool year of
1856. during which Antipodean
wool trade and prices for certain
grades of the product reached figures
never before known in Australia.
At the port of Sydney, the largest
market for raw wool in the world,
although drought had prevailed
over large areas of the state of New
South Wales, greatly reducing the
fiocks, there was an increase in sales
of over $4,000 bales and an increase
in realizations of over $26,250, 900.
During the year in the Sydney
market alone the United States more
than doubled the quantity of wool
taken during the previous year. The
total shipments jumped from $4,000
bales in 1s14-15 to 27s.sOO bales (esti-
mated) in 19l5-l6 Japan and Italy
were also heavy buyers. Had not the
imperial embargo operated against
American purchases just at the close
of the year 1t is probable that the
figures for that country would have
been still larger

SYNOPSIS.

Mary Page, actress, is accused of the murder of James Pollock and is defended by her lover, Philip Langdon. Pollock was intoxicated. At Mary's trial she ad- mits she had the revolver. Her maid testities that Mary threatened Pollock with it previously, and Mary's leading man duplicates Langdon. How Mary dis appeared from the scene of the crime is q mystery. Brandon tells of a strange hand print he saw on Mary's shoulder. Further evidence shows that horror of drink pro- duces temporary insanity in Mary. The defense Is "repressed psychosis" Wit nesses describe Mary's flight from her in toxicated father and her fathers suicide Nurse Walton describes the Kidnapping of Mary by Pollock and Amy Barton tells of Marys struggles to become an actress and Pollock's pursuit of her. There is evidence that Daniels, Mary's manager, threatened Pollock. Mary faints on the stand and again goes insane when po- liceman offers her whisky. Daniels testi- fles that Pollock threatened to kill Mary and Langdon and actually attempted to kill the latter. Two witnesses describe Mary's flight to the street from the hotel and her abduction by men from q gam bling place near by. Further evidence seems to incriminate Daniels.

Nehraska In Ancient Days.

In late tertiary times what Is now Nebraska was low lying and swampy region. covered with vegetation similar to that now growing in most climates much farther south. Camels and lla- mas were abundant, and during the plioCCne epoch great ground sloths and glyptodonts. whose relatives now live In South America. inhabited western Nebraska. NIastodons with tusks on both the upper and lower jaws, much like those of the miocene epoch, still persisted. Short legged rhinoceroses re- maincd abundant, and there was a great variety of wolhike carnivora. Sahcr toothed tigers and true cats, romr of them considerably larger than the modern tigers, were also abundant. Three toed horses were still numerous, but the modern genus equus was not among them. One of the most curious animals of the time in Kansas and Nebraska was gophcr-lke rodent that had two large horns on his nose. It's enormous claws indicate good burrOw- ing powers. and itS horns also may have been used in dlgging.-Argonaut.

 There was n slight pause.
 NOW.

Daniels show any emotion when he passed the door of the gray suite?' "I don't know as you would call it emotion exactly. He acted like Il man that hears a familiar voice. To come down to facts, he stopped short and listened. and it wasn't till he noticed that Miss Page had stopped too that he laughed loudly as if to cover up something and hurried her along to the banquet room.'
 Did you see Mir Daniels again?"
 Yes; little later. went across to the window to get an cycful of what was going on out there, but couldn't sec thing. and after waiting n bit went back to the door"
 Was anyone in the corridor?''
 Yes. X kid was walking along to- wards the stairs and Daniels was standing by the door of the gray suite with one hand on the knob and with his ear flat against the panel"
 How long did he stand there?"
 "Oh, minute or so. At first thought he was going to open the door. Then he shrugged his shoulders and walked n step away. Just then being closed and I ran towards my window. Before I got there. though, there was scream and shot and l ran out into the hall instead. Old Daniels was beating it down the cor ridor and Mir.

 "Of course I did. I was one of the first to get into the room."
 Was the window still open?"
 No" The witness was very em- phatic. Her mouth shut in Il tight line.
 "Now-be careful. Miss Hale-are you sure of that?"
 Sure? Of course I'm sure. One window was open, yHs. The one to the left hand side of the room. but the other one, the one through which had heard the talk. was closed. I'm dead sure of it-tlcad sure"

 And he made that resolution in the face of the twinkle of amused rccog- nitlon that Maggie Hale had shot him when she took the stand. For all kinds and all classes met at BarlicrS and it was with this famous place that Langdon's first question dealt.
 AS secretary to Mir. Barker you must have been frequently at his cS- tab!ishment back of the Hotel Rcpub lie, were you not?'
 'I was" the witness answered read fly. But mostly in the daytime. had my evenings free"
 There were evenings when you were there. though, were there not:"
 "Oh, lOtS." Her tone was freightcI with easy amusement. sometimes met up with party for dinner or a show, and then we'd drift about to try and bank at The House"
 She smiled, and several men in the courtroom smiled too.
 Miss Hale. were you a friend Of James POllOck?"
 "I knew him; knew him pretty well He was at Barker'S a good bit"
 Were you at Barker'S on the night that he was shot?"

as though she really enjoyed the inter est she was creating.
 Barker knew fat lot of crooks of all kinds. and he had one pal called Budge Dudley who-waSn't all he might have been, but TcXaa stuck to him because he'd helped him once long time ago. It was the same with Larry the Josh. Larry had n soft job at The House. and Texas kept him for old times sake.
 Well. that's got nothing to do with it, except that these fcllcrs cooked up a plant by which they were to get girl into Jim'S party. This girl iS about the clevercst dip in New York. and she was to lift the jewels and tEc watches and the money and everything she could get those swift hands of hers on. when the party got warmed up.
 Ut was part of the game for her not to be seen going in or coming out of the hotel. so it was fixed to get the lire-escapc down and let her go up it. When she came down again she was to be swung up into Barker's in a swing that is used sometimes to get important people out of the way if unexpected visitors arrive"
 She smiled grimly.
 And then she was to walk boldly out the front door. Now this girl

 How do you know" she began, but T.angdon interrupted quickly:
 You say that the girl failed to carry out her part of the plot. Will you tell us why, please?'
 Why? Why, because Jim wasn't a the banquet and she couldn't get in. There wasn't anybody else there who recognized her, and she was counting on Jim. It was fixed with him, but I guess he forgot. so she was left out in the cold. She stuck around till pretty late. hoping to have chance to get ill on the game anyway, and then when she tried to go down the fire-escapc she found it about as quiet as Broadway around eight o'clock It was full of bulls and people and lights, so she had to go downstairs and out the regular way with nothing to paj' for wasted evening""

This new witness was. however. not a woman to bring from Mary anything but an uncomfortable shudder of aver sion. For she was of the hard-mouth- ed, boldeyed type whose profession it is to make herself attractive to men.
 She was the dccoy of the great gam bling hell back of the Hotel Republic, and Mary wondered vaguely what on earth she could possibly know of the tragedy, that after so many weeks seemed no nearer a solution.
 The Prosecutor wondered much the same thing, and the Judge made q

Care of the H ands.

TO keep the hands smooth. soft and white wipe them until they are per fcctly dry after washing them. The neglect to dry the hands is the com moncSt cause of the redness and chap ping of the skin. If the hands have got into condition where treatment is needed rub them thoroughly at bed time with mixture composed of tine turc of bcnZoin, one teaSpoonful Glyccrin, four ounces, and rosewater, three ounces. X similar treatment is to rub small portion of cold cream well into the skin. This may be done during the day several times, and it is protective treatment against chappng when about to 20 out into the cold. Wear loose kid gloves on the hands during the night after applying the lotion. as 1t aids in the softening and bleaching work. A teaspoonful of lemon juice, two teaspoonfuls of glycerin and six teaspoonfuls of water, all mixed together, make n serviceable daytime application for the hands after dishwashlng. sweeping or scrub ing. Wear rubber gloves when do- ing this work.
