Deafness and Lameness That Were

Deafness and Lameness That Were
JUS Pure Bluff.
We all know, of course, the livery
nag who pretends to be deaf. You
tell him to get up" and he getteth not
up; you cluck to him, and he accel-
erateth not his pace. Is he deaf? Not
he. You know, by certain rolling of
his eye and wiggling of his ears, that he
hears you perfectly well. His deafness
Is pure bluff 1t Is like the lameness
which some shrewd old nags sometimes
put on.
VIII a horse pretend TO be lame when
he is not? Some horses certainly will.
Two or three years ago the Nomad
was driving a livery nag on a road in
Vermont, when the animal suddenly
began to limp terribly; couldn't go off
a slow walk. 1t was pretty serious,
for journey Of about twenty miles
had just been begun. Knowing a man
on the road who was a practical horse
man, the Nomad drove up TO his door
and submitted the animal to the ex-
pc-t's EXAMINATION. The man looked at
the horses feet, examined his legs
looked him over thoroughly. "Did the
horse so all right when you started
outg' he asked. Yes; the horse had
gone all right for three or four miles.
We'll" said the expert. this horse is
shammlng; there Is nothing the matter
with him"
Then he addressed some plain lam
guage to Dobbin, advising him with
some sharpness to cut 1t all out and go
along as he ought to. The Nomad
touched the horse with the whip. and
he trotted on to the end Of the journey
without the slightest limp.-Nomad in

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.
Fill Whatever Job You Hold TO the
Best of Your Ability.

"In climbing the ladder Of success
what have you learned that you could
pass on as aid to other struggling
young men?' | asked III. Z. Dawson OF
J. L. Morgan 81 Co. "Did you conceive
any shining goal and bend everything
10 getting there"
"No," he replied emphatically. What
ever job | had was to me always the
very best job in the world. and l tried
TO fill 1t. j made no elaborate plans
for the future. II | had any system In
my labor II was first to do my own
work; second, TO teach the fellow be-
low me how to take my place; third, to
learn how to fill the position ahead of
me.
Boys and young men should not i'm
aglne that their work is so unimpor-
tant that nobody takes note of how
they do It. 1t does not take long to
find out whether a boy Is on his toes
watching how he can best be Of help In
n situation or whether he merely sits
down and waits to be told what to do.
The simple virtues OF willingness, read
mess, alertness and courtesy will carry
a boy farther than mere smartness.
Perhaps 1t will not be out of place
for me to describe an incident which
may carry lesson for the young men
you are anxious to help. One day
when | was teller n customer offered
me a very fine gold pen. l went right
into the Office and asked II this man
had any lean from the bank. I ex.
planned that he had asked me to accept
the gift. The bank promptly acted,
and 1t was not long before the fellow
was In bankruptcy. The simple course
l took saved the bank a good deal OF
money."-B. G. Forbes In Leslie's.

READING HISTORY.
The One Way 20 Acquire Real knowl-
edge Of the World.


Henry James once told me that the
only reading of which he never tired
was history. The least significant
foOtnote of history he said, "stIrs me
more than the most thrilling and pas
6ionate fiction. Nothing that has ever
happened to the world finds me indlf-
ferent"
l used to think thht ignorance Of his
tory meant only II lack Of cultivation
and loss Of pleasure. Now | am sure
that such ignorance impairs our judg
ment by impairing our understanding.
by depriving us of standards, of the
power 10 contrast and the right TO esti.
mate. We can know nothing OF any
nation unless we know its history, and
We can know nothing OF the history OF
any nation unless we know something
OF the history of all nations.
The book Of the world Is full of
knowledge we need to acquire, OF les
sons we need 10 learn. of wisdom we
need to assimilate. Consider only this
brief sentence Of Polybius, quoted by
Plutarch, "In Carthage no one is blam-
ed however he may have gained his
wealth A pleasant place, no doubt,
for business enterprise, place where
young men were taught how to get on
and extravaganza kept pace with
shrewd finance; a self satisfied, self
confident, money getting, money loving
people, honoring success and hugglng
% fancied security, while I'm faroR

PARDONS VICTIM
 TOO MUCH ADVICE

Little Rock, Aug. 21.-Two more pardons were granted today by the governor. One was to James Orr of Pulaski county, who was convicted October "A, 1914, of assault to rape, and sentenced to 21 years in the peni- ;entiary; the other was o. M. Clev- enger of Sevier county, convicted of higamy Aug. 1, 1916, and sentenced to three years imprisonment.
 Orr was the victim of too much legal advice, according to develop ments in his trial. One attorney ad- vised him to plead guilty and Judge R, J. Lea sentenced him to three years imprisonment. Later other attorneys advised him to fight his case. The plea of guilty was withdrawn and the case went to trial. resulting in a 21- year verdict by the jury.
 Il now believe, upon my honor that he was wrongfully convicted that in fact he was innocent" said 2 letter recommending the pardon re. celved by Governor Hays from R. l. Rogers, former prosecuting attorney

ORPHEO THEATRE.

There are comedians and comedi- ans. Some are bad, some are worse, some are good, and some are better. Eddie Martin is better than the usual run of black face comedians. He is different. He shows total absence of the usual stale, hackneyed stuff with which black-face artists are wont to bore an audience to tears Martin does not try to initiate. He is Martin, and he is funny. His funny stuff comes naturally and without af- fectation. He does not appear to try for laugh. He simply says some thing and it sounds eXcruciatingly funny. Supported by bunch of pret. ty dancing and singing girls, and ar excellent quartet. Eddie Martin, the boy with the "Hesitating Blues," puts across a good show, and it is pu across with a punch.
