TOO MUCH FOR LION tanner
He Afraid He Was Willing to Ad-
NIT That He Was.

The proprietor of a wild beast show
travelling the eastern counties of Eng
land recently made an offer of a silver
medal to any local barber with suffi-
cient courage to shave the tanner in
the lions den.
A knight of the razor, yearning for
fame and glory, accepted the chal-
lenge and amid a chorus OF cheers
from the crowd entered the cage.
Although the lion betrayed very lit
tie interest in the proceedings, the
barber was obviously nervous, and,
having lathered his man, made several
nervous dabs at one cheek with the
razor, keeping weather eye on the
wild beast.
Hold hard!" yelled the tanner at
last, as he felt a fearful cash. Its
too risky!"
"I--I amt afraid!" stammered
the shaking tonsorial artist. ''There
amt a lion living can scare me-"
Course you amt afraid!" beloved
the tanner, as he wiped his wounded
face. anybody can see you amt. It's
me who's afraidl EI-Im afraid of

WORK AMONG THE FLOWERS
BY LIMA &. ROSE.


The rex begonia may be propagated
by slashing the leaf several times
across the ribs with a sharp knife, and
laying it fiat on the cutting box. II
necessary, pin it down with toothpicks.
The leaves will rot wherever the leaf
has been slashed, and soon new plants
will appear.
Perennials sown in the summer
should have developed into good
thrifty plants by this time. Plant
where they are to bloom next summer,
or pot for the window.
Late in September pot the prim-
roses and cineraria seedlings grown in
frames. Do not allow them to become
pot-bound until they are ready to
flower.
If the mignonette is your favorite
flower, September is a good time to
insure a good supply for the holidays.
Sow three or four seeds in thumb
pots, and plunge them in a box of
sand. Sow only the seeds of the large,
Towering kind and thin to one plant
in a pot. Repot when the pot is full
| of roots until the plant is established
In five-inch pots.
| Secure all the fallen leaves you can
for they are invaluable about the gar
den. Use them as q mulch and protec
ton for the flower beds and individual
| plants and shrubs; bank pits, sol(
frames and hot beds with them. Pile
them in a corner of the garden or bury
them and make leaf mold. Store then
near the chicken house, to be used fol
the scratching shed.
Give transplanted flowers plenty o.
time to recoup. Do not water them to-
much, or the soil will become SOU
and further retard the growth of tn,
plant. Do not place in too warm {
window, for until the growth start
they want to be in shady place.
If a plant looks sickly, do not a
once begin to stimulate it with nqui
fertilizer. Do not repot it until tn
the growth starts. Amateurs are lia
BILE to give too large pots.
Wandering jew, climbing nasturti
ums, German ivy, ground pine and fol-
get-me-nots will grow very satisfac
tOrily if the branches are cut an
placed in water. They make move
show plants for the winter garden.

DRAMATIST GIVES SOME GOOD
ADVICE TO HIS SOLDIER SON

can't be fully done without a deep
breath first, and then the "let CO."
One can't relax from "half tension" as
it were. Often we think we are re-
laxed only to find, after hours of wait
ing when utter exhaustion slumps US,
that we have been in some respect
holding ourselves away from the bed
A rehearsal in the theater is a dire
thing for tightening one up who is di-
recting 1t and unconsciously lifting
each character. After many years I've
come to recognize the condition in
time, and often in the dark auditorium,
when the actors or scrub women can't
see me, lie supine on the carpet in
an aisle or the foyer, and with arms
outstretched for a minute relax all
over. 1t isn't so simple as 1t sounds.
Even after the deep breath one has to
think down to the very finger tips and
toes, and by mental command dismiss
the accumulated tension. Then last
of all, the muscles Of the face-tO let
them full with half-closed eyelids and
the lips slipping away from the teeth
as they do on dead men. It's quite as
tonishlng what refreshing indulgence
even q half minute Of such relaxing is.
AS I've said, it's an art to do it, and
very useful when you get it.
Practiced by Japs.
The Japs are past masters at it
They were taught it and practiced il
conscientiously in the Japo-Russiar
war. After lying supine for minute
each Jap soldier would be taken by
the head by a comrade, and firmly
pulled until the packed vertebrae Of
his spine were drawn apart and re

Men Appointed to High Com
mand Have Proven Ability
in Service.
PICKED FOR Their RECORDS
Most Of the 200 Major Generals and
Brigadier Generals Recently Ap-
pointed Were Cadets Together
at West Point.
BY EDWARD q. CLARK.

Washington.-f there should be a
mobilization of the 200 major generals
and brigadier generals appointed to
commands in the new selective service
army, the affair would be q reunion
of men most of whom were cadets to-
gether at the West Point Military
academy.
This means that there is hardly a
new major general in the list who does
not know the methods and the manners
Of service of every brigadier general
who will serve under him and 1t may
be said also that there is barely q
brigadier general who does not know
all about the record, the penalty and
the idiosyncrasies of the major general
who, as a division commander, will
give him orders.
Some of these men who have been
appointed to high rank In the new
army are within one, two or three
years of the retirement age. 1t may be
that out of their ranks will come O
Joffre, a Haig, or Petain, but as many
in Washington look at 1t, it seems like
ly perhaps that the greatest American
soldiers Of this war are more likely t
be produced from the ranks of tht
younger men, although military ex

If you notice q little bit of cottony
stuff adhering to the leaves and stems

miXture:.
Melt bar of soap, add coal oil to it
equal to half the amount Of SOAP, The
two will readily mix if combined when
the soap is hot. Keep in well-covered
vessel and use one part to ten parts of

When scale appears on palms, olean-

the mixture; then follow with soft
fine brush or rag, and remove the
loOSened scale.
