are smiling, the flowers are bloom.
ing. the moon is shining, the dogs are
barking, the autos are speeding and
everything is ON level, it is positively
unmanly and inhuman for a person to
be growing and grunting because his
nelghbor does not think and act as he
does. Poise and kindness draw the
victorious battle line of life. We sat
one time with great naval hero on
the deck of a warship, and at first we
were scared by his awful presence, but
he told us an anecdote that we had
told a score of times ourselves, and we
laughed so heartily over It that the
mere telling constituted bond of SYM
pathy that made us beat as one. The
great deeds he had done fitted admir-
ably with the Insignificant things we
had done, and his greatness was q
benedictfOn to us. The incident only
discloses the fact that personalities
blend with another's life. when good
feeling and sincerity rule the event.

SAVED BY BUTTER
SEA CAPTAINS WONDERFUL
PRESENCE OF MIND.
Slippery Story Of How He Dlseom.
fitted Pirates Who Had Boarded
His Ship With Murder in
Their Sinful Hcarts.

Sea captains have many adventures,
and the stories Of their wonderful es-
capes seldom lose by repetition. Many
years ago pirates cruised up and down
the English channel, to the great peril
of the merchantmen. The story Is
told of Captain Davis, who was
noted for his quick wit as well as for
his skill in navigation, that he was
returning from Ireland with cargo
consisting mainly of butter.
He had not been out very long when
n pirate was seen coming down upon
him. In vain all sails We're spread !;
every moment brought the pirate
nearer.
The men were Mt their wits end, but
the captain knew-a trick or two. He
ordered his men to take off their
boots and stockings, and directed that
n score of butter barrels be brought
on deck.
In few minutes the barrels had
been knocked to pieces, and the but
ter was thickly spread all over the
nor spar that was not slippery
EVEN without tnelr DOOtS ana STOCK
ings the sailors could scarcely keep
on their legs.
On came the pirate, not dreaming
how smoothly he was to be received.
Captain Davis assumed an air of SUBJ
mission, and allowed the enemy to
come alongside quietly.
But when they jumped over. fully
armed. with pistol in one hand and
sword in the other they slipped about
and tumbled over one another on the
buttered deck like so many rats.
One fellow shot head-fQremost down
into the cabin, where he was imme-
diatcly set upon by the boy; another
slid across the deck, and shot out into
the sea by an opposite portfolio.
Not one of them could stand on his
feet, and as pirates are generally SUI
perstitious, an idea seized them that
the ship was possessed of the devil.
They hurried back into their own YES
sci, cast loose, and Captain Davis got
safely into port at the expense of n
few pounds of butter.

THEATER PARTY GIVES JOY

Foolishness.

A theater party is group composed
of two types of people-those who
have seen the play an absurd number
of times and those who would give
anything not to see 1t.
The performance selected Is usually
musical comedy. This has come to
mean nowadays an entertainment hav-
ing no music and which is not comic.
The chief characteristics of the
uter party are two suffering chap
erons. one of either sex; number
Of young ladies' who constantly inter-
rupt the dialogue of the play and an
equal number Of young men, some Of
whom read the programs, yawn or
sleep. while others fiirt with the cho-
rus.
When attending musical show 1t
Is modish to keep time with the or
chestra by tapping smartly the back
Of the seat in front Of you. Frequent

performance before and know the

Romance In the Present War.

The romance Of war is far from
dead. Witness the reports Of the

jumped from his balloon at height
Of $500 feet, who took ont his pocket
book with one hand and. holding 1t In
his teeth, inserted therein all his i'm
pOrtant papers, threw 1t into the
French lines as he sailed over them,
and himself reached the Serbian front.
Then agnin, we have the account of
the fight In the Adriatic between an
italian torpedo boat and an Austrian
submarine. Both We're sunk, but the
survivors Of the torpedo boat cap
tured the submarine crew. Our novel;

exploits that beat these realities of
war. Perhaps some Of them will take

OH 10 kInu,

The European war Is without doubt
doing more TO direct general attention
to the claims of oil and its multitu-
dinous products than any amount Of
advertising In normal times could have
accomplished.
The great clash Of arms on the con-
tinent has from its commencement
shown that the necessity for the prod
ucts Of petroleum In up-to-date warfare
Is no less than In either the Industrial
circles or In domestic life. We are to-
day as much dependent upon the re-
fined products Of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities Of
life. and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply, our dependency
upon oil becomes the greater.
1t is no surprise, therefore, to find
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater attention
than they ever before did, but that a
particular healthy atmosphere perme-
ates those enterprises which have laid
themselves out-and successfully So
to engage In the production, the re-
timing, the transport, or the distribu--
tiOn Of petroleum products. There is,
In short, no mistaking the fact that In
the future, oil will be king.-Petro-
leum Review.

Two days of marriage do more to
get fellow and girl acquainted
with each other than two years of
courtship.
A woman imagines that she hasn't
said anything until she has talked
at least a half an hour.
A man can't make his ankles ex-
citing by displaying them as far up
as the knees. But it is different
with girl.
OF course. you can find errors in
newspapers. But you would never be
in trouble if you were half as careful
about what you say as the newspa-
pers are.
Some girls may not be physically
fit when they show up on the job in
the morning But the artists model
is always in good shape for work.
1t often happens that the man who
Is legally attached to one woman is
sincerely attached to another woman.
A clock will stop working when it
is all run down. But man hasn't
that much sense.
There may be no fool like an old
fool. But our observation has been
that the young fool runs him pref
ty close second.
When a corn fed goes out on cold
day her cheeks get rosy. But when a
thin girl goes out on a cold day her
nose gets rosy.
And maybe the reason why women
talk so much is because they have SO
little to say.
What doth it profit a married man
to have five pay days in a month? 1t
merely means five pay-out days to
him.
About the only room sweeping
some pnncesses do is when they

There is valuable oil made from

walls as to the botanical sources of
eastern Indian lemon grass oils. but
they are generally stated to be derived

all over India. bat the oil distilled In
the Malabar coast Is derived principal
ly from CymbOpogon fiexuosus. This
plant grows plentifully In Travancore,
especially on the slopes of the noun
tains to the north OF Anjengo. The
hillsides are said to be fired In January
to burn down the old and useless grass.
Six months later the fresh crop Is
ready to be cut. BY that time the
countryside Is dotted all over with fur
naces and stills. During July, August.
