he called his work, but all the good
things seemed to come his way.
He married, of course He was in
no hurry about it, but he got the pref
test and brightest young woman in
the state. What she saw In him 1t Is
hard to say.
One evening John was loafng In his
Office when Dave Hinsley broke In.
breathless and hatless and gasping
'Fire!"
"At your house, Judge" he added.
"Your wife told me to hurry down and
get you. don't reckon there'l be a
stick saved If somethin' amt done
pretty soon."
John took one foot down from his
desk.
IT'S the hose company there?"
Eyes, but there amt no water"
I'm that case, Dave. l guess the
only thing we can do is to let 'er
burn" And he put his foot up again.
OF course he was heavily insured.

Johns title of Judge" was purely
honorary, but there is no doubt that he
would have attained judiciary honors
in course of time-he vas In no hurry
If it had not been for his investment
in Guayquil Central stock. That would
have been his limit, however. Beyond
the bench he would have been found
out. Guayquil was down to a pretty
low ebb and q friend Of Johns who
had inside information. urged him to
buy at once, as it "a certain to rise.
John said he would; but he deferred
his purchase from sheer inertia until
it went down still lower. OF course
it would go down. AS soon as he had
bought it began to rise. That was be-
cause John. like the idiot he was. had
put every available cen he had in the
world into it. One day the friend with
inside information wired him to sell
at once. The stock had gone up be-
yond all expectations, and if John had
realized then he would have made
close on tt 100000. and have been
comfortable for the rest of his days.
AS it was, he put the telegram into
his pocket and went on with the pc
rusal of a judgment transcript.
That evening he said to his wife:
"farkins wires me to sell that South
American railroad stock. but | guess
there Is no hurry about it."
Well, what John did make on that
stock was Eel $500,0O0, and he owns
most of the town now. he quit gam
bling in stocks.
It's disgusting the luck some people
have.

HOT BRICKS FOR GIRLS FEET

For Them While They Eat
Their Lunch.

Chicago.-"Six for the feet" yelled
William the waiter.
Coming up" came the echo from
the kitchen.
Smilingly, Jean the chef placed half
q dozen hard, inedible objects in the
over. Thirty minutes later he opened
the door and, wetting a forefnger,
tapped n of them. There was a siz-
zle and a little puff Of steam.
"Done to a turn" he unused.
The front door opened and six merry
misses from the Monroe Telephone ex-
change entered the restaurant.
William disappeared in the rear and
re-entered, struggling with a heavily
laden tray, a broad grin on his face,
which was red with exertion.
Beneath each small table he placed
two hot bricks, which chased the chills
from the neat feet resting comfortably
upon them.
"Some SERVICE" said the owners of
these extremities, beaming thanks.

Proper Food for Weak Stomach

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
mastioate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull and
stupid after eating, they should take
Chamberlain's Tablets to strengthen
the stomach and move the bowels.
They are easy to take and pleasant in
effect. ADV.

JOHNS LUCK
BY JAMES e. JOHNSON.

AS a boy John vanderpoot was never
In a hurry. Still he almost invariably
seemed to be lucky. He vas a large
boy. or rather his face gave the i'm.
preston Of ~largeness; just as his
walstcoat does now. In those days he
had penduIous cheeks and his legs
bulged at the line of his shoe tops. so
that the other boys called him
FATTY"
When he went on an errand he
never hurried himself about It, of
course. but his luck had given him
tndulgent parents, so that instead of
giving him the licking most boys would
have got, they gradually refrained
from sending him-unless they were
In no hurry themselves. It goes with.
out saying that he was never in q
hurry to get up in the morning. There
was one Fourth of July that he did
get up at four o'clock. but he was so
%leisurely about bis dressing that the
other fellows went off to fire their
cannon without him. John arrived on
the scene just in time to go back and
tell his people about the accident. he
was the only n of the six who was
not hurt.
Another time he went out with q
crew OF young reprobates to loot the
orchard of a particularly cross-grained
farmer. He was up in the tree when
the alarm was given. but he calcu.
lated that there would be time to Sc
cure a few more apples before the
farmer arrived.
Get a move on you. Fatty" sung
out a fellow criminal below. Hes

Jaw! What's the hurry?" said John,
reaching for an outlying limb. There
was no reply to the question. for the
boy had fled. The farmer saw them
strfnging out in the direction of the
fence. overlook and cornered them.
From his perch in the apple tree John
witnessed those u~nfortunates come,
one by one, beneath the horny palm of
h farmer, and saw them hoisted un-
tremendously over the fence. AS their
bowls died away in the distance, John
quietly descended and made off the
other way.
.
John got through school somehow,
but he was no forced plant. He was
in no hurry about going to work, but
eventually took a clerkship in the local
grocery. His employer dispensed with
his services at the end Of a month,
and suggested to his father that po-
litfcal influence should be exerted to
secure the young man a position in
some claim department in Washington,
where his peculiar dilatory talent
would be appreciated. Johns father
thought the idea was good, but he
didn't happen to have the political in
f1uence, so he set his son to studying
law with a conservative practitioner.
1t was intensely aggravating to the
brilliant and energetic young men Of
the community, those who rose early
and worked late and moved around
as IT they had some object in life, to
see Vanderpoot, who had no brains to
speak of, no burning ambition to dis
tinguish himself, becoming one of the
solid" element. He drawled in his
speech and he dawdled through what

eStS of City.

While admitting that something
must be done To prevent the de
struCtiOn of mail matter sent out
from Mishawaka Mayor Gaylor
stated to The News Times
that ne didn't think the railway
company would consent 10 reducing
the speed of its trains 10 eight miles
an hour when passing through the
city limits. He favors the appoint
ing of delegation Of business men
including Postmaster Herzog, TO
wait on the railway company and
lay the matter squarely before the
officials urging them 20 stop these
important trains at the Lake shore
station here. In the event of their
refusing 10 do so. the city would be
then forced TO act. The mayor says
he will gladly consent to appear
with such a delegation. on the
other hand it is urged that the rail
way company has been approached
so often in regard the matter and
has ignored all protests, that the re-
sponsible officials should be asked
to come 10 Mishawaka and meet
with the business men instead of the
latter being asked TO go TO Chi
cagO.
The postmaster has prepared
record showing the number of times
the local mail pouches have been
missed or torn by the fast trains on
their failure to get them aboard the
train. Since January ., 1916 until
January %, 1917, the list shows
that the railway company failed 10
catch or destroyed the pouch no
less than Is times. a copy of this
record has been sent 10 a number
