HIS DIGNITY IN QUESTION
Newly Promoted official the Recipient
Of Really a Neat and Deserved
Rebuke.

For a number OF years he had been
employed as a stenographer for the
company. and as such he frequently
took dictation from one of the direc-
tors who called at the Office occasion
ally. Last week he was made an as
sistant secretary Of the corporation,
was relieved of his stenographic duties
and was given a desk near the senior
officers
When the visiting director called at
the office a day or two later he greet
ed the former stenographer pleasantly
and congratulated him on his advance
ment.
But there's no one around here who
can operate typewriter as you can
he added flatteringly, "and want you
to make a copy of this paper before
send 1t to my lawyer"
But the new assistant secretary was
not to be flattered into a relinquish-
ment of the dignity of his position,
and he replied:
Really, Mr.. Brown, l think that is
asking too much. Do you think |, an
assistant secretary of this company,
ought to let myself be seen bending
over a typewriter like an ordinary
stenographer?"
Il beg your pardon" said Mr.. Brown.
81 forgot about the dignity of your po-
sition entirely. l trust you will over
look my indiscretion. By the way"
he added, Il see by the papers that
man down in Washington named
Woodrow Wilson writes with his own
hands and on his own typewriter al.
most all of the important state papers
that he prepares fer transmission &c

in South Africa one day found live
shell left by some artillery men who
had been at target practice on the
plains Few days before. Not know
ing it was loaded, they whitewashed il
and placed it in an ostrichs nest,
thinking to play a joke upon the boss,
The next morning one of the hands,
an Irishman, came around to look for
eggs, and finding, as he thought, a
large one, he seized on it at once.
In his astonishment at finding it SO
heavy he dropped 1t. with the result
that 1t exploded with direful effect. Pat
was hurled several yards away, but
strangely enough, beyond lying
stunned for a few minutes; he was un
hurt.
''Whew! boys!" he murmured
when he recovered his speech. "bedad

EARLY HISTORY OF EUROPE
Confederation OF cermsnlc Tribes the
Foundation Of Countries OF Ger
many and France.

The name Franks was applied about
the middle of the third century to a
confederation OF Germanic tribes
dwelling on the middle and lower
Rhine. Later they became divided
into two principal groups--the Sail
ans, inhabiting the districts on both
sides of the lower Rhine, and the
Ripuarians, settled on the middle
Rhine. In the third and fourth cen
turtles hordes of them began to move
southwards and afterwards into Gaul
In 1858 Emperor Julian, although he
defeated the Salian invaders, allowed
them to establish themselves perma-
nently in Toxandria, the country be-
tween the Meuse and the Scheldt
From this time Frankish chiefs and
warriors frequently served in the Ro-
man armies; and during the fifth CEN
fury they rendered valuable service to
the empire by stemming the tide of
barbarian invasion. By this time the
Salian Franks had made themselves
masters of northern Gaul, while the
Ripuarians were concentrated around
Cologne. Under Hlodowig or Clovis,
king of the former confederation, the
Franks were converted to Christian
ity, while by his conquests in cen.
trail Gaul, and by his subjugation of
the Alemanni and the Riparian
Franks, he not only extended his do
minions as far as the Loire in the
one direction and the Maine in the
other, but he laid the foundation of
what subsequently developed into the
kingdom of France.

GOOD TRAINING FOR BODY
Reasons Why Children Should Be Al
lowed to Indulge in Dances That
Are Innocent.

Dancing is invaluable as physical
training for children. 1t is impossible
for them not to learn the exact value
of time beats, because to keep the
dance going the time must be perfect.
And the quick jumping steps are a
splendid training for balancing the
body.
Children learn easily and readily
because the spirit of the dance in
spires them without mental effort.
How necessary such inspiration is
in the training OF children, anyone
can Judge who has ever watched the
heavy, timeless jump of small, SLOW,
country school drilling. c..s a.
Feet and brains do not work togeth.
er and the class jumps all at once,
but reaches the ground again at q
dozen different times.
A child's brain must be overworked
unless its small reasoning power is
helped by external inspiration such
as this of the dance swing.

HUNT HELPS MAKE SOLDIERS
Preparedness for Military Emergency
Is Undoubtedly Aided by Out
door Sport.

While not every enc of the three
hundred thousand citizens who Sc
cured hunters licenses last year
could qualify as a sharpshooter, Doc
tor Kalbfus, secretary of the state
game commission, is not wholly imag-
NATIVE in suggesting that in the main
tenance of it's game preserves and in
the encouragement of the hunt the
state is contributing to it's prepared
ness for military emergency, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin.
An essential OF q soldiers equip
inent is to know how to shoot, and
training for craftsmanship in the pur-
suit of bird or rabbit is obviously of
value. But even more essential is
the soldiers health, the ruggedness
of constitution and physical condition
to stand the stress of march and work,
and outdoor training is the sine qua
non. Anything that the state does

to interest them in health-building,

sport, goes far in preparing efficient
soldiers, and to this physical condition
there is added the practical training

Deer With Glass Eye.

the ears of cattle, and its tail had been
cut off in some manner so that only a

Nerves Play Queer Franks.

night on the cars, and he looked for
ward to this with great dread. Even
when well he had always slept poorly
on a train, and he looked forward to
an absolutely wide-awake night. So
he supplied himself with a powder in
the hope that it might help a little.
He didn't need the drug. however. He
slept eight solid hours. far better than
in the quiet of the hospital. Then there
was a woman who had nervous pros
tration so badly that she was confined
to bed and had TO have a trained
nurse. Early one evening her family
were startled by an awful commotion

rushed up to find her in o corner kill

sasa- ffI6sNiIusan ff law - ag........

The Thelluseh law, once enacted by
the British government was law to
regulate the disposition of property
by will and to prevent the excessive
accumulation of estates. 1t had a
curious origin. On the 9th OF July,
1897, one Peter Thelluson, an English
merchant of French birth, died in Lon
don, leaving a certain sum to his
widow and children and the remainder
of his property, then amounting to
several hundred thousand dollars, to
trustees to accumulate during the
lives of his children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren living at the
of them. The accumulation would have
been enormous. The will was con-
tested, but was held valid. In order,
however, to prevent such disposition
of property in the future, parliament
passed what was called the Thelluson
act, or Accommodations act, regulating
and limiting requests in such a way
as to make great accumulations i'm
possible. When Peter Thelluson's last
surviving grandson died. in 1856, a
question arose as to whether the ED,
est male descendant or the male de-
scendant of the eldest son should In
herit the property, and this question
was decided ON appeal by the house
Of lords in June, 1889. The Thelluson
will and the legislation growing out
of II were a subject of much discus
sion by lawyers. $780,
