imagination.

The gift of imagination appears to
be the peculiar privilege Of man. The
architecture of the beaver is clever
and ingenious. but the work of one
beaver differs only from that OF his
fellow in the shape and nature Of the

The cells of a hOneycOmb. beautiful

Every village boy knows that one
thrush's nest is repeated character for

you it is different; each one of you can
put something Of himself into his

How War Comes.

The precedents of history show that
the great majority of the worlds con-
fiicts have been begun before formal
declarations of war were made Ac-
cording to authorities on international
law, a condition of war arises In three
ways:
First.-Declaration of war.
Second.-A proclamation or manifes-
to declaring that a state of war ex-
lists.
Third.-Through the commission Of
hostile acts of force.
One authority on International law.

may begin without formal declaration.

or during pacific blockade or during
an Intervention might be forcibly re
sisted, hostilities breaking out

Office of
The Holes In the Moooasins,

In the social life of the North Amer.
lean Indians many little dramatic acts
occur significant of beliefs that are
difficult for a stranger to understand
correctly. A relative comes to the
home Of an infant and presents 1t with
q tiny pair of moccasins with a hole
cut in each sole. The Indian mother
understands the tender wish conveyed
by the act. The baby is thus recog-
nized as an Omaha child, for the moe
casins anticipate the ceremony In
which the new life" is proclaimed q
member of the tribe. The holes are a
sign Of usage; they express the giver's
prayer for long life to the child. A
person might enter the tent. see the
tiny moccasins with the holes and ex-
claim. What long way the little one
has travelled This, too. would be a
prayer for long life to the child. II an
unseen messenger from the spirit
world should approach the infant to
bid it come with him the child would
be able to say. mo. I can't go with
you; look. my moccasins are worn
outT' And so the baby would not be
taken away from its mother.

90 swimmff,o With a Cold.

In an address before the leading ear,
nose and throat specialists OF the coun-
try DIR. Hill Hastings of Los Angeles
recently called attention to the danger
Of a persons swimming, and particu-
larly diving, when he has cold in the
head. Comparatively few persons rea-
lie that 1t is dangerous, and many
even believe that when they have re-
covered from a cold and are still an
moved by excessive thick secretions In
the nose they can find relief by diving
or plunging the head under water. The
purulent matter washed out is not only
a danger to others, says DR.. Hastings,
but the diver himself runs a risk OF
forcing some of the pus into his middle
ear. Most specialists have observed
that cases of mastoid abscess are COM
mon every summer during the swim
ming season. At the large ear, nose
and throat hospitals it is recognized
that the swimming season invariably
brings on "a crop of mastoids." The
advice to keep out Of the water until a
head cold" is entirely cleared up can
not be too strongly emphasized.

what musical training will do for any
one and the playing of most of her pu-
pills plainly indicated that she is first

Lastly, add the digits Of the produet w

My Dear Taylor
1 learn with regret of the death of
your aged mother and 1 extend to you
my deepest sympathy in this hour of
your bereavement.
Your mother lived long and useful
life and was highly honored by all who
knew and associated with her. She was
one of the few living who were given
their freedom from slavery under the
emancipation amendment to the consti-
tuition, and her rememberanees of the
events of a century made valuable his
tory for generations to come.
1 read with deep interest in your
most excellent newspaper, The Broad
AK, your beautiful tribute to your
mother. Such expressions of grief can
come only from heart bowed in sor-
row and one filled with deep love and
affection such as children bear to a
good mother.
In offering you my coincidence 1 do
be softened knowing that they are ex-
pressions of true friend.
Yours very truly,
A. H. Wagner.
No words on our part can express our
gratefulness to our many friends who
have conveyed their sympathy to US
over the passing. away of our mother
