MANS WAY OF DOING THINGS
Mr.. Pickles Gives Demonstration Of
Superiority of His Methods Over
Those Used by Women.

Men who can turn their hands to
any sort of Job that needs doing are
very useful as husbands. Mr.. Pickles
was one of these useful gentlemen.
His amiable wife once asked him to
hang a picture she had purchased for
the parlor, and he said that he would
do it lin a jiffy."
you just get me the cord and a
picture hook" ne said to his wife, land
tell the servant girl to run down into
the cellar and bring up the stepladder
and carry it into the parlOr, and
where's those two little screw thing
ummys that go into the back of the
frame at the sides TO put the cord
through? Look them up for me; and
/ shall require the gimlet to bore a
little hole for the screws. Somebody
get the gimlet, or maybe I can drive
them in with hammer. Johnny, you
run down into the cellar and get the
hammer. Perhaps q chair would be
better than the stepladder. Some
body go out into the kitchen and get
me a chair. l don't want to stand on
one of the parlOr chairs. Got that
cord? Just measure off about the right
length, and fasten it to those little
things at the side. There, now; there's
your picture hung up, and no fuss
about it. The difference between US
men and you women is that when we
have anything to do we do Ii, and don't
talk all day about it,"

Scarind Them Away.

Frank A. Vanderlip, chairman Of q
Liberty Loan committee, said In New
York:
''The loan machinery was made easy
simple and informal, so that all could
come in. We didn't want to scare the
plain people away, you know.
"SOme of our past loans did scare
the plain people. They were like the
swagger ssashore hotel.
''This hotel was so very swagger
that the guests all felt like inmates
or prisoners.
There was little man who arrived
there one night and rang his bell for
some ice water. No answer. He rang
again. Still no answer. Then he put
his finger on the button and held II
there till he heard footsteps.

Negroes Famous as Composers,

There is no doubt that James Bland
a negro musician, wrote Garry Me
Back to Old Virginia" During the
days Of slavery there were in New Or
leans quite a number of we'll educated
negroes, and among them a number
who gained distinction as musical COM
posers. Five Of these were Edmund
Dede, Basil Bares, Lucien Lambert,
Sidney Lambert and Samuel Snaer.
Much Of the music that these men
wrote is of permanent worth. One of
the earliest American negro musical
authors was James Hemmenway. His
home was in Philadelphia, and during
the second and third decades Of the
nineteenth century he wrote much
music which by musicians Of authority
is set down as excellent.

Among cats and birds and crops
there is an obvious connection, and
if homes and stOrehouses be added
to the list, the connection extends to
mice and rats. Birds are natures
guards of growing crops against in
sects; and insects are farmers most
destructive enemies. That fact, too
long ignored, is now becoming recog-
nized, and a result is movements for
securing better protection for our bird
life, one of the essentials of agricul-
ture, a thing Of beauty, and it will be
a joy fOrever-provided the birds are
not exterminated.

science and reason; it has always
grown about some central idea" This

of which will be good Will, brother

graces that come from 4 true and no.

that makes the most of the humanity
of the man. The present war means 4
great change in peoples ways Of think

age and that is not far away. Men
are to think better Of one another.
That is the verdict that the bloody bat

conclusion will shake mankind OUT Of

change is to come no one knows, but
that it is tc come, every great seer
