JOYS AND TRIALS
OF DADDY'S LIFE
BY LAURA JEAN LIBBEY

If his son goes off for weeks hike
with companions and telegraphs him
for money, he cannot administer to
him good sound lecture on hoeing
his own road and roughing it, because
Of the tears of the family. When the
young mans friends realize dad is an
easy mark, his wants are many and
by no means far between. Father i'm
AGNES his cares will be ended when
he sets the boy up in business for him
self and the girls marry. He soon
finds that his worries have just be-
gun. An old head cannot be put on
young, inexperienced shoulders. The
boys find it an easy matter to go
through funds their father worked so
hard for.
Els air castles regarding helpful
sons-in-law take a tumble when he
finds he has just SO many more added
to his family to support. He Is told
that each and every one will make
good in time. This seldom, if ever
happens, in daddy's time, or by their
own efforts He gets good deal of
comfort out of admiring his children
and building hopes for them. That's
about all the JOY he gets out OF being
a daddy. OF course they love him af-
ter their own fashion. That's one con-
ISOLATION. Yet, after all, why should
daddy complaint The thought that he
is making his loved ones, and theirs,
happy is the greatest happiness of his
life.

Why the Rainstorm Follows
the Thunder and Lightning

Why does heavy downpour of rain
often follow clap of thunder? Not,
as is popularity believed, because the
thunder jostles the cloud particles to-
gether into raindrops. In the violent
turmoil between the positive and mega
tive electricity in thundercloud there
will be places where the production of
drops, by condensation, and their sub
sequent breaking up proceeds more
rapidly than elsewhere. Hence in these
places there will be more drops to fall
as rain, and also more electritication,
the rainfall occurring about the same
time as the flash. We have then,
starting toward the earth at the same
time, light, sound, and raindrops. The
light, travelling at speed of about
$4,000 feet per second, reaches us
almost instantly. The sound travels
far more slowly-about 1,090 feet per
second-but the rain falls much slow
er still. Thus we observe, first, the
lightning, then the thunder, and then
rain.-Popular Science Monthly.

SHOW PAINLESS SURGERY.
Operation to Remove Tumor Is Also
a BloodIess One.


BloodIess One.
Philadelphia.-Pai and blood
less surgery by means of system
of nerve blocking and pressure on
the arteries was among the many
delicate operations which held the
attention recently Of members Of the
Clinical Congress of Surgeons of
North America in annual session
here. DR.. P. G. Skillern 10. of this
city, operating on subject for the
removal Of tumor in the head, dem
onstrated a method by which the pa
tient, though conscious, was insen-
sible to pain.
The system consisted of blocking
or strangling the nerve aiding from
the brain to the seat of the affection
with an injection Of drugs regarded
by surgeons superior to and safer
than cocaine to arrest pain impulses
to the brain. The stoppage of blood
loss was accompanied by pressure on
the arteries with a metallic clip,
sometimeA with rubb band and
frequently by the fingers Of an as
sistant.
Further experiments in the trans
planting Of tendons to correct the
after effects of infantile paralysis
formed a part of the clinics.

nado which swept a four-mile path
over south central Arkansas late Tues
day. Unconfirmed reports tell of more
deaths, which can not be verified until
communication is restored and the
complete story of the storm is told.
The death list includes four white
persons and five negroes. Three little
girls were the victims of the storm at
Carlisle. Near England planter, Al
bert L. Swartz, was killed and his wife
and daughter were seriously injured
when their home was demolished. Two
negroes were killed near Pine Bluff,
two were killed at Sheriff and another
was killed near England.
Reports persist that a negro colony
near Keo was wiped out and II killed.
Another report tells of the death of
from IS to 20 convicts at the state
farm at Tucker All efforts to reach
Tucker by wire have failed.
The plantation home of Joseph
Pilkington, near Pine Bluff, was de-
molished and his wife and two chill
dren narrowly escaped. Four negroes
living on the place were injured and
one of them probably will die. The
property loss there is about 100000.
According to reports the storm first
struck south of England, moved north
east for distance of about 60 miles
and finally spent itself near Des Arc
and Devall Bluff.
Storm Follows Warm Weather.
The storm followed a period of I'M

Mr.. Butterworth, the grocer, was
looking over the credit sales slips one
day. Suddenly he called to the new
clerk:
did you give George Callahan
credit?"
Sure said the clerk, CT"
Didn't I tell you to get report on
any and every man asking for credit"
"Why, / did" retorted the clerk,
who was an earnest young fellow. II
did get report. The agency said he
owed money to every grocer in town,
and, Of course, If his credit was that
good knew that you would like to
have him open an account here!"-Ex.

Worship! the heart lifts above.
The heavens reject noti
TIL desire of the moth for the star,
OF the night for the morrow
TIL devotion to something afar
From the sphere Of our sorrow.


While the world and his wife cheer
the man with large family of chill
dren, nobody knows save daddy how
much it costs to keep the family up in
the way it thinks it ought to live when
the boys and girls have grown up.
If the son is taken into daddy's Of
flee, he expects quite as much salary
as competent person would receive.
No matter how urgent the call of duty
may be, he takes it upon himself to
throw down his pen, shut up his led
ger and HE off to the race track If he
takes notion. Daddy would call him
strictly to account if he dared, but
the boy has his mother and the whole
family at his back. Mother would far
rather take a tongue flashing herself
than to have it administered to the
darling of her heart.
AS for the girls, they are law unto
themselves. They want large house.
fine clothes, an automobile and sery-
ants. His wife tells him coldly that
he should have expected he'd have
all these things to do when he became
daddy. He cannot enjoy his porch
on hot night. Every inch of space
is occupied by young girls and young
chaps. He is told that he shouldn't
want to sit on the porch and interfere
with their young company.

Atmospheric interference
With Messages Only Problem
Of Wireless Still UnsoIved
Miss Billie Billings.

The matter of atmospheric interior
messages is the only great problem Of
lOng-distance autobiography which
remains unsolved today. The earlier
difficulties, such as securing reliable
and efficient generating plants for
transmitting stations and devising SEN
sitive, yet dependable and selective,
receiving apparatus, have been solved
nearly, if not quite, to the satisfaction
of engineers working in the field But
discrimination between signal waves,
which it is desired to have recorded at
the receiving station, and stray, or
parasitic waves due to natural cleo
trfcal disturbances whose effects must
be suppressed, has not been entirely
successful.
1t is true that radio-telegraphers to-
day are able to signal far greater dis
tances without severe interference
from static" as the natural disturb
ance is often called than in previous
years. This is partly the result of u.s.
Ing larger powered transmitters, but
mainly depends upon the development
of several effective atmospheric reduc-
ing methods.
The difficulty of static elimination
resides in the similarity of the effects
produced on receiver by the desired
and by the parasitic waves. Each is
an electromagnetic disturbance in the
ether, and each sets up radio-fre-
quency current in any receiving aerial
upon which it strikes. The order of
the frequency and Gin spark teleg-
raphy) Of the damping or amplitude
decay is the same in both. The in
tensity of the interfering current may
be thousands of times greater than
that of the desired signal, and mani
testify 1t is not easy to secure a con-
slant response to the weaker wave

marrying Parson" Lays
Down Set of Ten Rules to
Guide Husband Seeker

"Shun the rouge pot, copy the
cat, avoid witticism and keep
silent like clam" is the advice
given to marrying girls by Rev.
John II. Pierce, the marrying
parson" Of Oakland, Cal. who
has welded 1000 couples in his
lifetime. Rev. Mr.. Pierce has
laid down the following ten
rules for feminine guidance:
l. Plan your campaign with
the wisdom Of the serpent, con-
ceal it with the silence OF
clam. execute it with the STRAIT
egg Of Machiavelli.
2. Avoid all witticism about
marriage.
8. Veil with alluring helpless
ness the iron of self-sunlcieacy.
4. When a man declares II
shall never marry" mark him
for easy prey.
s. Be inwardly bold as a lion;
outwardly timid as a young
fawn.
} 6. The loudest fattery fs the
silence Of attention. When he
speaks, listen. 1t is incense to
his pride.
Z. Shunt the rouge pot and
powder puff, for many a maid
has lost out by sailing under
J false colors.
8. Pick out chemical atm
ity. Remember, Oil won't mix
with water, but 1t will with
myrrh.
8. Copy the cat, for it is
squeezable; and the dove, for 1t
J COOS caressingly; and the whip
poorwill, for it seems elusive.
, 10. Remember that the SUI
preme test Of man is kiss.
, If he will not yield under its
pressure, scorn him; he is either
} a brute or an idiot.

Ford Works Rest.

Detroit. Dec. % the
Ford Motor company closed it's plant
for seven days in order to relieve the
railroad congestion that carloads of
food and fuel may be handled. The
suspension will mean a production
less of approximately $500 cars a
day. Forty-two thousand men are
made idle by the order, meaning a
wage loss for the week of 81, 100000.

The value of property lost by fire in
the United States in the last two
years overshadows the cost Of the
Panama canal. 1t exceeds the total
cost Of maintaining the army and navy
for the same period. And the $780,
100000 property loss is only half Of
the story. There was $500, 900
more spent for maintaining freight

! Not often do I go to chnrcn

And so, one Sunday recently,
attended three meetings,
Not at all religious.
The first was a union meeting,
Men who had reputation militant;
Men who were oft reported
AS being chronic radicals,
Liable to set fire to rivers
And all that sort of thing.
You would have been surprised;
know | was.
There never was more peaceble,
Civil, sensible gathering.
Then in the afternoon
A small group of unorganized
Talked over how to enroll
Many thousands in a basic industry
Huskies, were these,
Big men with big hearts,
Big ideas, big plans.
Again | was agreeably surprised.
The plans were made
And later on
Some industrial good

helped to write receipts
For initiation fees,
And got writer's cramp.
1t was a stampede, rush,
A clamor for a union card
That made one sit up and think
But this was how it was done:
The organizers were Irish
There were no Dutch
Did you ever hear the Irish
Call for help?
Not much.

mYsTeRious AIRCRAFT SEEN
 OVER AT FUNTER BAY

The mysterious flying machine which has been seen from tipo to time in the vicinity of Juneau was again seen Monday morning at Fun ter bay. James Murphy, engineer oa the tug Anna Barron, was on duty while the tug was tied to the dock, and on hearing the purr of an engine, went on deck to see what boat was passing.
 On looking up he saw a flying ma chine in the air over his head plainly. This was at 2:3O o'clock in the morn ing. Mir. Murphy states that it looked like a monster bird with it's long body and outstretched wings. The machine was described as being of the mono plane type.-Empire.
