GOOD EFFECTS OF TROUBLE
World May Be Traced to Those
Puanaciously Inclined.

Most of us love trouble-that is,
remain contentedly out of trouble fol
any length of time, it seems. And if
you doubt the statement, all you have
to do is to remember the numerous in
stances when you were getting along
all right, and then deliberately 'butted
into" something that was not your af-
fair.
Take the matter of politics, if you
please. Half of the political troubles
we read about are unnecessary. That
is to say, lot of the people mixed up
in politics are so mixed for no pur-
pose in this world save that they may
make trouble for themselves or some
body else. For it really makes little
difference to the average man who is
elected; indeed the average man takes
an interest in politics not because he
thinks by doing so he can best serve
the public, but because he wants a
fight.
OF course all of us like to flatter our
selves that we are doing something for
the nation or the country or group
Of people. But the truth is most of
us are doing nothing of the kind.
But, did you know that most of the
good that has so far resulted to the
world has come from the troublemak-
ers, and not from the peacemakers p

Horrors of War.

One of Germany's most noted sur
geons, who has spent months at the
front and in hospital service, in writ
ing of the effect of the terrible strain
of war as depicted upon the faces of
those released from the firing line,
says: physically these soldiers may
be as hard as iron, yet they are not
intact. The officers nearly always de-
velOp an uncanny, marble, staring look,
as though they had been accustomed
to gaze shudderingly at all the terrors
and desoiating orgies of destruction,
as though they had been obliged to wit
ness this with unblinking eyes and
finally felt that their eyes had become
Il mirror of the horrible. 1t is as though
the claw of a demon had seized their
faces and made their eyes sink deeper
into their hOllows. The more highly
civilized a man is, the better educated,
the deeper his feelings, the more does
he bear the indefinable something in
his face, the sign that he has seen ter
rible things."- Christian Advocate.

Are flirtations dangerous? That de-
ponds less on how it begins than on
how it ends-whether the affections
have been stirred, or-only friendships
waves have been ripping from merry
breeze.
There are some women, happy of
heart, fun loving and sensible, who
could be brought into contact with
the most pronounced, fascinating
"lady killers without experiencing an
extravagant heart throb. There are
others who were never intended. pre-
sumably, to have beau who had no
matrimonial intention, because they
were sure. to fall Eeadlong In love al
though the man in the case stopped
carefully at the crossroads Of q mild
filtration.
Such young women are really more
to be pitied than censured, for the
reason that their feminine intuition
mas led them far afield. as 1t were,
leaving them unable to decide as to
just what value to place on his whis-
pered words or the lingering clasp Of
his hand.
All women will tell you they go on
their summer vacations for the sole
purpose of gaining the benefit derived
from a change of scene and air.
While this is true, IL is also quite
true that the majority Of winsome
maidens are not averse to finding at
the place they have chosen for recrea-
ton an agreeable, unattached young
man who will also help them pass the
vacation days pleasantly. If he pays
bevy or more of girls the same
amount of attention, favoring one not
more than the others, he is simply a
very agreeable new acquaintance. If
he singles one girl out, talking, walk
ing, gOlting, yachting, dancing with
her almost exclusively, the busy
bodies will be burning with curiosity
to discover whether it Is real heart
affair or only filtration.
Unwise is the girl who attaches more
Importance to his attentions than his
conversation warrants. Pleasant COM

ment quite another. The girl who is
only intent upon very slight tiirta-
ton should not lead young man on or
allow him to believe that his suit
would meet with acceptance should
he propose marriage. Men have hearts
quite as susceptible to the tender pas
sion as those that beat In women's
bosoms. Where one or the other has
mo future intentions" he or she
should not monopolize entirely the So
ciety of the other.
Filtration Is dangerous game.
Frankly acknowledged friendship
simply that but nothing more-ts al
ways wisest and best in the long run.
1t is by no means compliment for a
man or woman to become recognized
as an acknowledged flirt. Many enter
into a Irritation with laugh on their
lips which ends in q sigh or a tear.

Not to Be Beaten.

one of his native hills one Sunday
morning and commenced blowing for

Presently the minister came along

him, asked in a very harsh voice, "NIac-

How He Was CAUGHT.

He had no stomach for the army,
but presented himself for examination
with a "sure trick" up his sleeve to
"work his ticket" He was physically
perfect, but his eyesight was shock
ing-so bad, indeed, that the sergeant
thought the doctor should see him.
"First class physically" pronounced
the doctor, but when the medical man
applied the eye tests the would-be re-
cruit's sight appeared much worse than
when the sergeant had him in hand.
"No, no, my man; with sight like
that you're no use for the army" said
the medico. But you ought to get
glasses. Stay, I've pair like ricrO-
scopes, and if you see with them you
can have them"
The spectacles were produced and
fitted on, and the recruit at once cried
ooh, see splendidly!'
"Do you now?" said the doctor, with
sarcasm. "Take him along, sergeant,
and get him sworn in. There's no glass
in the spectacles. "-LOndOn Tit-Bits.

OLD FRIEND GONE
Ed s. ELLIS, "FATKER OF THEi
DIME NOVEL," Is DEAD.
No Doubt There Are Many Gray;
Headed and Highly Respected
Members of Society Who Will
Remember His Books.

The father of the dime novel died q
short time ago at the age of seventy
six. Many of us are old enough to re-
member those Beadle & Adams dime
novels with the salmon-covered paper
covers, not too large to slip inside q
pocket and hide there until favorable
chance came to devour its pages, for
our elders had a strong prejudice
against the yellow backs" and be-
lieved that a boy who read them was
hiking straight down the center of the
road to perdition.
Ed S. Ellis, the man who died re-
Gently, wrote the first of the dime nov
els that made a hit, and he wro"e hun
dreds of them afterward, and many
other books beside. He was nineteen
years old when he wrote Seth Jones,
In 1859, and sent it to Beadle X Adj
ans, New York, who had just begun
to publish their dime novels, brt had
not made a success with them. They
saw a winner in "Seth Jones'" before
they sent it out they plastered the
country with posters, dodgers ana
painted inscriptions with the Ques-
ton: "Who is Seth Jones'" and
when the people had guessed and won
dered for weeks the whole country
broke out in another rush of posters
bearing the picture of frOntierSman
In coOnskin cap, with the inscription,
II am Seth Jones'" The book made
the fame of Ellis and the dime novel
and the fortune of Beadle & Adams.
1t was translated into IL languages
md million copies were sold.
A queer thing about it was that
Ellis was brought up to be preacher
and that he was teacher Of a Sunday
school class when he wrote this first
dime novel. He used to clothe Bible
stories in imagery Of his own, vivid
pnd exciting, and always closed the
lesson with the tale unfinished and
the remark: Boys, We'll continue the
story next Sunday" All the boys in
the. village were in his Sunday school
class.
He wrote so many stories for boys
md girls that he lost count OF them.
He was the author of the boy Pho
neer," "Log Cabin" "Deerfoot," "Wy-
Oming" and Forest and Prairie" Sc
ries, and he wrote many seriouS-mind-
ed books, such as a history of this
country in eight volumes, of which 1OO,-
900 sets were sold.
It is said Of him that he was q good
man, of kindly nature; that children
loved him, and that, in spite Of the
preaching that has been done against
cheap novels, there was not an immOr-
al situation nor anything that would
tend to influence for wrong in the hun
dreds of novels he wrote. His heroes
were manly and clean-minded, his NOR
ais good and he exalted the nObler
qualities Of honor, loyalty and courage.
He said just before he died that he
did not regret anything he had written
and he felt he had contributed to the
joy of living for millions of boys and
girls. The Star knows from expert
ence that this is true, so here's a
wreath to the memory of the father of
Seth JONES'" the hero of a bOyhOod
long past.-Kansas City Star.

Hen Likes Fish

That aquatic birds should delight In
sea foods or their fresh-water equiv
alents is not surprising. but that the
hen, strictly a landlubber, should pre-
fer fish above all other foods is less
to be expected. 1t is true. however.
In fact, the educational department of
the New England Fish exchange sug-
gests that man could learn a lesson
in this regard from biddie. That
might bear thinking on also. The
United States catches more fish an
nually than every other country, but
its inhabitants have never come to a
full appreciation Of this particular va
riety of nouriShment.
