KILEY THINKING OF LIFE
 TRIP ON THE WATER WAGON

John Ki1ey, aged 26, of 24 Miles street, is contemplating a life trip on the water wagon. His first drink in 10 months, he says, is responsible for his recent troubles with the family of his wife, which terminated with his appearance as a prisoner in city court.
 Riley left hospital a few days ago where he was recovering from a relapse occasioned by quitting the hospital too early after an operati on. He left, the second time, when he heard that someone was moving his furniture out of his home at 24 Miles street. Then he began to drink, and in his weakened condition, the liquor affected him.
 Riley, well known in town, was rec onm ended to the clemency of the court when he was arraigned as a re- suit of a row with his wife, at her par entS' home.

A Good Habit to Cultivate.

The cultivation of love and forbear- ance for others is one of the safest habits to form, and this love should be cultivated without inquiring whether others deserve that love or not. It is always difficult for any human being to know surely whether another de- serves our love, for we never know the heart, and we cannot see behind the scenes. Only God can truly judge. It is for us to love and to help and let God do the judging and the criticising. This attitude of caring. and trying to aid by sympathy can be formed like any other habit, and once formed it takes the place of indifference and in tolerance, opening up our whole lives to faith and lght.-Christjan Herald.

Man Power.

There is a distinct difference between power and endurance. The average woman seems to have quite as much endurance as the av@ age man, but in actual physical power she is entirely outclassed. In series of experiments to determine this point it was found that the average energy man can de velop is 4ne-fifth horsepower, that of woman only half as much. The ma chine for making the tests is a bicycle mounted on a fixed frame and geared to a brake wheel. The person under test works the pedals, and the point at which the friction of the brake causes the machine to stop indicates the horse power he has reached. = Pittsburgh Press.

One Way to Smoke q Clear.

Here's a secret that it took me years to learn,'' said Uncle Joe Cannon, who, as nearly every one knows, is an invet- crate smoker. eff you want to get the most out of a cigar light the wrong end.' Any man who smokes cigars to any great extent will tell yoN that he gets more real enjoyment out of the last inch of his cigar. Now, my plan is to light the last half first and get to the best part of the smoke as soon as you can. Of course you have to snip of the end that is supposed to 90 in your mouth before you can light the cigar, but if you try my plan you won't ever go back to the old fashioned way unless I'm badly mistaken."-LoJis- v1Fe Courier-JournaI

The Rorans as Fighters.

The Roman became the greatest sol dier in the world simply because he made soldering his one supreme aim and business. The Romans studied war just as the Greeks studied art, the men of the middle ages theology, the Egyptians the art of agriculture. They despised literature, art, philosophy, commerce and even luxury and set their whole heart on becoming fighters and conquerOrs. In that way they de veloped very naturally the genius and means for successful warfare which made them the masters of the, world
 There was hothing miraculous in the prowess of the legions It was the natural result of their undivided effort, protra cted through generations

The Pentateuch, or, as it is usually called, "The Book of Moses the first five books of the Old Testamen0, is not thought by the scholars of today to have been written by Moses.
