The Fruitful Days.

Now comes the season of accom-
plishment. Summers light and heat
have long ago suffused these buildings
with which we wrap ourselves against
the influences of the natural world and
have laid up even in the feeblest of us
some store Of energy, some additional
gift of life. Whether we see it or not,
we are ready now, if ever, against the
darkness of winter when the tides of
being are low and its wheels turn slow
ly. We have before us the example
and inspiration of the earths mighty
harvest, the warning of these shorter
days, and the spur of cooler weather.
Those who teach know that the sue
cess of their years work depends on
the drive of the next four months.
Those who direct the enterprises of
trade and manufacture know that this
is the time to realize what has long
been planned. If you purpose to learn
anything or do anything better than
in the past, now is the hour for your
beginning, the beneficent strength OF
things is ON your side, and the course
of the world runs with yours. The
past is a help, but not hindrance, and
the way is clear toward whatever good
may be your goal.-Collier's Weekly.

WOMAN'S PROGRESS GOES ON
Pittsburgh Wards Board of School
Visitors Is for the Time Being
Entirely Feminine.

A news item in the Leader provides
striking evidence of woman's progress
Announcement was made that whole
board of school visitors in the Twenty
sixth ward will consist of women.
1t has been only few years since
the candidacy of the late Miss Kate
Mcknight for a seat on an Allegheny
school board attracted statewide at
tention. But within a short period the
men of city ward deemed it wise
and to the best interest of the citizens
to fill a board of visitors with women
The wisdom exhibited by the men in
giving women an opportunity to exer-
else their intelligence in governing the
public schools is a wholesome sign
Women are the natural guardians OF
children. They have charge of them
In their homes Their experienced
hands will make a favorable impress
sion ON the schoolIoom.
Women are already represented on
the board of education. Their pres
ence there is fixed. Their position
will not be changed unless their in.
fiuence is enlarged. - Pittsburgh

ABLE TO APPRECIATE JOKE
Woman That Could Laugh Even When
the Aumor Of Incident Was
Against Her.

This is an extract from a letter
written by woman who is willing to
share a good joke, even If the laugh
is at her own expense:
II was a damp. windy day--the sort
of day that turns straight, straggly
blonde hair like mine into mass of
strings and ends that stick out about
the face and neck with frightful eff
feet. / was downtown on shopping
expedition that was exceptionally try
ing, and knew looked so badly that
l carefully avoided all chance glances
into mirrors, for | was sure | could
not. under the circumstances, improve
my appearance much. Recklessly l
entered an ice-cream shop with
friend whom | happened to meet. As
/ placed my shopping bag on the floor
near the table at which we were to
sit. another bag, exactly like my own,
was put beside it. Quite naturally
my glance followed the hand and arm
up to the face Of my neighbor, and IS
l met her look. | said to myself, She
has hair Just like mine-sticking out
in every direction-and she locks
even worse than / do. poor thing,'
Naturally, my heart went out to her
in a great wave of sympathy. We
smiled simultaneously as our troubled
eyes met. and said, aloud and quite
distinctly, If we are not careful, We
shall get our shopping bags mixed"
The moment the words were out of
my mouth l wished very earnestly
that the floor would mereifully open
and let me through. 1t did not re-
quire the subdued smokers from the
nearby tables to awaken me to the
realization that had been addressing
the image of myself in the mirror of
which the entire side of the shop was
formed Do you get the pieture?-

ENJOYED PLAY OF REAL LIFE
Women Enthusiastic Over Acts Which
No Doubt Were Thoroughly Fa-
,miliar to Them.

Robert w. Chambers, the novelist,
said at the Century club in New York:
I'VE novelists have got to remember
that the public, while claiming stout
ly to like truth and realism. really
likes-realIy ,likes-well. here's a
story:
Two women stood in queue wait
ing TO get in to see a melodrama.
"'Thisn be a GOOD show, said the
first woman Life. you know. Real
life. Nothin' overdone.'
Eyes, l like lie. too. said the other
woman. cont want to be put to
sleep, though Still, 1 can't stand
nothin' far-fetehed
Same here, said the first woman.
"And then they went in and sat
through FIVE acts wherein the hero
killed thirty-six Kafi'E with his naked
hand, found a diam,ad as big as a
ducks egg, smashed with his revolver
from a mile away the bottle of poison
that the beautiful heroine was about
to swallow rather than yield to the
Establishments of the villain, and final
ly killed the latter in an aeroplane
duel, slightly off stage, inheriting later
an unexpected dukedom, and so forth
and so on.
when the curtain fell to the sound
of wedding bells the two women looked
at each other with glistening eyes.
"sGrand, wasn't it?' said the first
Life, real life, chr
"'You bet, said the second. That's
life, that is. Nothin' far-fetched or
overdone.'

Lead Pencil Industry.

The English lead pencil industry,
which is receiving a notable impetus
through the war, dates back to the
early half of the eighteenth century,
when pIumbago-which hitherto had
served mainly for the manufacture of
shot and crucibles-was first used for
writing purposes. All the black lead
used in pencil making then came from
Seathwaite, which enjoys the double
distinction of being the rainiest VII
lage in the British Isles. and of be-
ing the only place in the world where
pure plumbago may be found. This
mine yielded a huge fortune to the
Bankes family, who owned 1t. the out
put in 1913 amounting to 81 tons OF
pure plumbago. which realized $685.
900. Twenty years later foreign
graphite began to take the place OF
plumbago in pencil making and in
1850 the Seathwaite mine was closed
down.
