Hundreds of these letters are mas

In every flock there is usually to be
found on black sheep. In every regi-

be found one ne'er-do-well daredevil

or women. The great majority should
not be judged by the foilies of this

The cOuntry's call struck deep into
the hearts of young men in all walks
of life. Among those now wearing the
soldiers garb are to be found young
lawyers, architects, physicians, the
sons of great merchants. aye, and of
money kings. men whom parents
would be sincerely pleased to have
their daughters receive attentions
from, no doubt. if they could but sim

homes of luxury to enter army life,
anxious to know the rough and hard
side of life and profit thereby.
One young man, millionaire's son,
told me just before leaving for the

$4,000 Echo to Docs Bark.

That the bark of dog may have Il
$4,000 echo was indicated in the SUI
preme court of Brooklyn, when Rich
ard SchOenewerg applied successfully
for permission to amend the complaint
in his suit against Henry Johnson, q
neighbOr, who had him arrested six
years ago in an effort to put a silencer
on the dog. In December, 1910,
SchOenewerg was acquitted and
brought suit for $4,000 damages.
When the suit first came up Johnson,
an English instructor in the boys high
school, said the board of health had
advised the arrest and moved for dis
missal on the ground that the COM
plant did not state whether the action
was for false arrest or malicious prose
cution. The purpose of the new mo-
ton is to amend the complaint to
specify malicious prosecution.

Locust's Initial,

that it meant war with Mexico, and
so told everybody who would listen.
Then he went incoming around for a
spell and didn't talk any more about
war, and the first thing knew he had
got married. Presently he came 10 me
and said that he had been mistaken in
his first conclusion about the locust :;
he had decided that he'd read the mi
tial wrong side up, and that he should
have turned it the other way, when, of
course, it would have been an NJ

improved Poorhouses for Wounded

significant sign of the times is
suggested in the ALLEGATION of certain
pOorhOuseS throughout the United
Kingdom for the wounded soldiers.
In Dickens days the "Workus'' was
Synonymous with a social pest 1t
bred crime, disease, and fastened the
death of thousands. In recent years
the wOrkhOuse has arisen like palaces
all over the country, with spacious
grounds, walks, gardens, recreation
rooms, and fitted with every modern
facility for insuring the prOlongation
and comfort of life. Now, they are
being equipped as hospitals for the
gallant British Tommy. Which fact
demonstrates the splendid service that
the old age pension act has been to
the country. The war, of course, had
given a temporary blow to poverty,
and made it impossible for the casual
ward professional to trade upon the
lack of work and opportunity. The
name of poorhouse will be expunged
from the new hospitals.

Trains Can't Go Too Fast.

An eastern railroad which includes
many steep grades along its lines has
adopted new scheme to overcome the
danger from the momentum n heavily
loaded train sometimes gains in run
ming down grade. A spur track has
been built at the foot of such a grade
and an automatic switch sends any
train that is going too fast up this
branch. If the approaching train comes
along at a safe speed nothing will in
terfere with tbs progress. If it is going
too fast when it passes a block a GER
tain distance above the switch, it is
automatically sent up the spur track,
where it remains until pulled off.

Peculiar Action of LIGHT.

A curious difference in the light pro-
jected from the London anti-aircraft
searchlights seems to be due to vary
ing atmospheric conditions. Some
times the beam shows uniform illu-
mination throughout its entire length,
then the beam is mostly faint with
bright knots or patches at irregular
intervals. and at other times only a
bright patch in the clouds is seen, the
course of the light being invisible.

idea, says a writer in an exchange.
First begin with a short board eight
inches from the ground and then a
board six feet long and the same dis
lance from the ground, and so on
around the pen. AS the hog goes after
the chicken she will slip under the
board and then when the hog starts
for the other side of the board she
slips under another or under the same
boards. Then the hog will stand and
look disguised and finally go over to
the corner and lie down.

TiMID WIDOWERS.

Man is supreme lord and master
OF his own ruin and disaster;
Controls his fate. but nothing less,
In ordering his own happiness.
For all his care and providence
Is far too feeble a defence
To render it secure and certain
Against the injuries of fortune,
And oft, in spite of all his wit,
Is lost with one unlucky hit,
And ruined with a circumstance
And mere punctilio of chance
One can be led into the belief that
there may be timid bachelors, even
against ones better judgment, but the
imagination has to be stretched 10 it's
utmost limit to give the widower the
benefit of doubt as to his being
timid or bashful in the presence of
women.
The "reSourcefulness and push" of
comedy widows is a time-honored wit
ticism which is never allowed to grow
stale because of constantly occurring
examples of her prowess in ensnaring
male hearts. Therefore. one naturally
expects a widOwer should be quite as
proficient in the delicate art of at
tracing hearts.
There never was q greater error.
The previous married life of the man
and the woman has everything to do
with establishing confidence in them
selves or routing it utterly The nus
band who loves fondly, imbues his
wife with tho hniinf thot oh &c IN
most charming. the most fascinating
of women. He is never weary of
thanking her most humbly for giving
herself TO such a plain, unattractive
man as himself. Hearing this con-
stantly, she believes it and fancies size
could have won any man for whom she
might have set her cap. Once a
widow, she is plumed with the assur-
ance that no man will be able to with
stand her Establishments. And it usu-
ally happens ''as person thinketh, so
is he."
But let it be understood that the
same sauce of appreciation has not
been fed to the husband. He is given
to understand in tacit way that he is
sadly lacking in all the attributes that
women admire in men. He is led to
believe that he is awkward of man
ner; that his conversation is uninter-
esting to the opposite sex; that she is
the only woman in the world who
could or would have loved him. She
gives him to understand his popularity
is entirely due to her and her social
activities; that he would be nothing
without her, absolutely nothing.
Despite the loneliness of his heart
and home, not one widower out of a
hundred would enter the ranks of mat
rimony again did he not meet with the
one woman who was able to tOpple
over his firmly-grounded ideas and
cause him to realize that he still had
attractions and still had the power to
awaken affection in another heart
that would accord him his full need
Of appreciation and love.
