THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

types of girls.
The first of these is a girl who
thinks her parents ideas are cid fash

regulated home. She is full of youth
and is naturally dissatisfied when she
is compelled to get all her diversion

The second victim is the innocent
girl compelled to work hard for her
living and firing of the horrible daily
grind. Her youth cries out for some

SALESMAN TALKED WRONG
Argument Included Reference TO MIS-
haps and the Deal Was
"Queered."

The motorcar salesman's lack OF
Judgment cost him sale. He was try
ing to sell a professional man ma
chine, but he handed out the wrong
kind of talk and "queered" the deal.
His irrespective customer had been in
two or three serious motorcar acct
dents while out riding with friends
and really was just bit timid about
riding in a machine, although to please
his family he had just about made up
his mind to buy one. The motorcar
man. with much glibness and effective
ness, presented the various virtues Of
his car. "Just look at the axle" he
said. when you get in a smashup
that axle, unlike many others, will not
break, but will bend, and so can be
repaired without much expense"
This unfortunate argument spoiled
the sale. 1t aroused the sense of fear
which the professional man had when
riding in a machine, and he told the
salesman that he guessed he would not
place his order for a machine at that
time.

Love of Ease.

What is there about "love of ease"
that makes the strenuous one so
wroth? Love Of ease is a universal
human trait, and has been so from the
beginning of time. 1t is the incentive
even of war. Barbarian tribes and ma
tions fight for slaves, and even the
civilized city-states of ancient Greece
made war in order to reduce their cap
tive enemies to bondage and compel
them to do all the work, so that the
conquerors might enjoy lives Of lei
sure. Love Of ease is the handspring
of nearly all human activities. Men
labor to obtain comforts and Injuries
If the hope Of enjoying the fruits of
his work were gone no man would
labor except under compulsion of law
or OF necessity. He who vociferates
against love of ease assails all man
kind, including himself. - Philadel-

INAPPROPRIATE Is SERVANT
Flies at Night and Catches Bugs and
Beetles That Are Enemies to
Farmer.

At the first plaintive notes of the
whip-poor-will. in spring, the farmer
says, "It's time to plant corn" The
bird is the corn planters calendar.
Also it's the farmers insect destroyer.
1t flies only by night and catches the
moths and beetles that venture out
after the sun goes down. Inasmuch
as many of these beetles and moths
are counted among the farmers enc
mics, the bird is a frst-class friend, re-
marks the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can.
1t sleeps all day, squatting fiat on
the ground, or in the lowest branches
of trees. You can approach quite near
to 1t at midday and it won't wake up.
If finally you interrupt it, the bird will
fly short distance away and settle
down on the ground for another nap.
Since it turns night into day, twi-
light Is it's dawn, and then 1t does most
of it's singing. So plaintive is the song
that superstitious persons have long
associated it with misfortune. 1t does
mean misfortune to the moths and
beetles.
From a vantage point on rail fence
at the edge of the woods it darts out
like an expert fly catcher. To aid 1t in
the hunt the whip-poor-will has bris-
tlelike beard, which is barbed-wire
trap for every insect which gets In
range of the birds head.
1t doesn't go to the bother Of build
ing a nest. You'll find the whip-poor-
Wills eggs either on the bare ground
or in a heap of dry leaves. Usually
there are two yellowish-white eggs,
spotted with brown.

The First Armored Ship.

Many people imagine that the first
armored ship was the "ironcased frig-
ate" Gloire, launched for the French
navy in 1857; yet, according to the
Popular Science Monthly, the Dutch
built an armor-plated vessel nearly
three hundred years earlier. That was
in 1885, when Antwerp was besieged
by the Spaniards. The Dutch took
one of their biggest ships, cut her
down and erected on the deck bat
terry with armored and sloping sides,
within which they mounted eight OF
the heaviest guns the factories of the
day could produce. The roof of the
battery formed an armored breast
work for men armed with crossbows
and shotguns, and there were gratings
in the roof to provide ventilation for
the battery below. The ship bore a
striking resemblance to the Merrimac,
of the Civil war, which was designed
and built on precisely the same prin'
ciples.

CATS AS "ENEMIES OF TREES"
Are So Because They Kill Birds, Says
the American Forestry
Association.

A warning that cats are to be con.
sidered enemies Of tree conservation
because they prey upon birds which
destroy insects dangerous to trees, Is
issued by the American Forestry asso-
citation of Washington. The warning
says:
June is the month for nesting of
birds, it is the month when by far the
largest number of birds of all species
are raising their young. 1t is the month
when insect life abounds, when the
weather is mild, when storms are few;
the month, by all odds, the most propi,
tious for the birds to undertake to In
crease their numbers. 1t Is a month,
however, when probably the largest
number Of birds are killed.
THE maternal instinct, which knows
not fear, bring many mother bird in.
to the claws of marauding cat. Chief
among all the agents Of destruction is
the stray cat, and second we must put
the well-fed cat. Every cat is natural
ly a bird catcher and those that are
not sufficiently active to catch grown
birds find an easy prey in the newly
fedged young. 1t is during the early
hours of the morning that most young
take the initial flight and it is at such
times that the cats go unrestrained.
Every owner Of a cat, every cat lover
and every bird lover should see to it
that during this month, at least, cats
with homes are kept indoors, Gagged or
tethered, and that every stray, owner
less cat is captured and mercifully put
out of the way"
