Ortrude sat lost in thought for some

she had received her number she ask

Ortrude put on her hat and went in

wanted the front of the garage to come.

she returned to the housse and, calling

GREAT WRITER NOT ALONE
EIixabethan Age Was Memorable fos

Bard Of Avon.

The score of busy playwrights who

Gently by Prof. Felix Schelling, head
of the English department of the Uni.
versity OF Pennsylvania.
Doctor Schelling's lecture was on
"Shakespeare's Competitors in the
Drama"
For, had Shakespeare's death been
untimely like that OF Marlowe," Doctor
Schelling said, according to the Phila-
dslphia Bulletin, Eve might question
his primacy. Had Shakespeare never
lived, his age would still have been
memorable in the drama for the group
Of playwrights of extraordinary stat

the lesser luminaries who surround
him" He said, in part:
Shakespeare is not the inventor Of
Elizabethan drama. He did not find his
dramatic London brick and leave It

new form of the variety that already
flourished on the stage.

CANNOT USE CAPTURED GUNS
Those Taken From an Enemy Are
Important Only az They Reduce
His Fighting Efficiency.

Guns captured in battle are seldom
used by the captor, and for very
good reason. Take the case of the
field guns, for example, used by pres
ent-day armies. They all take prac
tically three-inch shells, but there Ia
a very slight difference in the actual
diameter, amounting in many cases
to only q few hundredths of an inch,
which prevents German guns, say, tax,
ing English shells. The diameter OF
the shell used with the Belgian field
gun, for example, is 2.95 inches,
tenth of an inch smaller than that Of
the German gun.
A Belgian shell would enter the
bore of a German gun too easily, and
it would be impossible to fire it accu.
rately. II a German shell were forced
into q Belgian gun that gun would
burst when fired, because the shell is
too big to 60 down the barrel. Unless
q gun is captured undamaged, togeth-
or with supply Of its proper ammuni-
tion, it is useless. The capture only
means reducing the fighting power of
the enemy.

How to Keep Young.

John Burroughs: If you should ask
me what counsel 1 would give to a
young man starting life-how l would
attempt to set him on the road to
happiness-it would run something
like this Be Industrious. Be honest.
Be serious and sincere; don't slur your
work. Deal fairly; like your neigh
Dor; lend a helping hand And don t
forget how to play. Play will keep you
young. Lucky is he who gets his
grapes to market with the bloom on.
Reading the lesson of my life to my
self, 1t seems to teach one thing; that
one may have a happy and not al
together useless life on cheap and easy
terms. The essential things-the true
values-are all simple and near at
hand-home. friends, health. books.
Nature. a little leisure, a little money,
and, above all things, congenial work
something you can put your heart
in. But uncongenial work, even drudg-
cry. is better than idleness and indif-
ference.

conservative type of round watch still
holds its place in the market 1t is pre-

Lar.
A prominent jeweler declares that
these watches are already replacing
in favor the round ones; for, it is
said, they are far more easy to carry.
The shapes in which they are made
make them convenient to handle.
The new watch is as thin as q
wafer, and one wonders how on earth
the works are accommodated in the
small space; but watchmakers say
that the finest of works may be put
in these watches with far more ease
than in the round timepiece.
Many of the watches have plain
gold backs, but 1t is also observed
that fine engraving is coming back
into style, and that jeweled settings
are being greatly used. Sapphires,
emeralds and tiny rubies are popular
in settings and the prices Of the
watches range from $3.50 up the scale
to the thousand mark.

Backbone and Health.

Lack Of moral courage is given by
DR.. Samuel G. Dixon. Pennsylvania
state commissioner OF health, as one
OF the reasons why persons get sc
helplessly i'll that physicians cannot
help them.
Every physician meets in his prac
tice men and women who get q blue
funk over the most trivial ailment
Often these persons worry until they
arrive at a state of mental and physi'
cal depression which makes them
ready prey for disease.
"Unquestionably there are many
dangers to health which we must
meet every day Of lives. It is well
to know of these things in order that
we may form the habit of avoiding as
many Of them as possible, but to be
ever fearful, thinking of and cringing
from danger, will not aid us to avoid It.

his enemy's strength, is watchful. vigi

Morning GlorieR,

The literary merits of the wife-the
first wife-of James Russell Lowell
have been buried in the shadow of his
great name. She left one beautiful
poem to adorn the morning glory an
thology which deserves to be rescued
from neglect:
We wreathed about our darling's head
The morning glory bright
Her little face looked out beneath,
So full of life and light
So lit as with a sunrise
That we could only say,
She is the morning glory true,
And her poor types are they"
So always from that happy time
We called her b ytheir name.
And very fitting it did SEEM
For sure as morning came
Behind her cradle bars she smiled
To catch the first faint ray,
AS from the trellis smiles the flower
And opens to the day.
But not so beautiful they rear
Their airy cups of blue,
AS turn her sweet eyes to the light
Brimmed with sleeps tender dew,
And not so close their tendrils fine
Round their supports are thrown
AS those dear arms whose outstretched ID
plea
Clasps all hearts to her own.

War Hlts Nice Hard.

Bankruptcy is staring Nice in the
face, says a Paris newspaper. Nice
is the land of sunshine and smiles,
but the world has other things to
think about just now than to bask
in the sun. Generously, the town has
thrown open it's doors to the sick and
wounded, whose gratitude is great, but
whose purse Is slender. Fun and
frolic, giddy gayety and splashing
spendthrifts are essential IL the
wheels of Nice are to run smoothly;
and since the war started Nice knows
none of these. The Casino is closed.
The city reaped rich harvest from
the spin of the roulette wheel and
the turning Of the baccarat cards. All
this is stopped, and Nice is now be-
ginning to feel the pinch seriously.

TAKING RIGHT VIEW OF WORK
Man Makes Serious Mistake In 5econs
Ing pesPondent and Thinking of
Himself as a Slave.

In commenting on a recent Once.
Over, concerning the blessing it should
be to be able to work and to have
work to do, a man writes as follows:
THE principle is good. Work is q
blessing to humanity, If the toiler
would but reap the fruits of his toll.
But, in this era of maladjusted econ.
omic conditions, the workers life, with
its slave status, leaves much to be
desired. Am l right?"
From one viewpoint, yes; from an.
other, no.
The working conditions of laborers
might be more ideal, tbs true, but you
cannot expect too great an improve
ment within a short time.
Are they not improving each year?
Are not working hours becoming
shorter and pay larger for those who
make the necessary effort to perfect
themselves along their certain line?
If man is unwilling to give the
time, study and effort to make himself
more valuable to his employer, should
he hope to have his wages advanced?
The workaday world 10 far removed
from slavery. ~..
When a man begins to think of him
self as a slave he is bringing about q
condition within himself which has q
tendency to place his efforts on the
plane of those of slave.
He is likely to feel disinterested IN
his work, displeased with his employer
and antagonistic toward his superiors
He makes Of himself q slave-Chi

Miners to Have Warm Meala.

A large coal mining, company has
arranged to provide warm, substantial
meals to the men working from 200
20 400 feet underground. An electric
range has been installed in one Of the
lowest chambers of the mine. In this
are prepared hot lunches which are
served In an underground restaurant
1t prices barely covering the cost OF
:he food. 1t has been found that this
aot only adds to the comfort of the
men who had hitherto been compelled
20 eat cold food. but it also adds to
heir productive capacity. A marked
increase in the amount OF coal taken
,ut was noted the first month after the
slectric range was Installed.
