God Almighty hates quitter,

opponent 81 Is It not character; and
is not character at bottom only the
moral equivalent Of stalwart backbone?
The gutter fails and falls because
he lacks the force of character, the
strength Of will, which sees possibii-
ties beyond capacities and regards OBJ

worth attempting Al all is the fight
which deserves to he fought through.

Oil Used by Railroads.

4 decided increase in the use of
petroleum as locomotive fuel by the
railroads Of the United States in 1916
is shown by statistics compiled under
the supervision Of John d. Northrop
and just published by the United States
geological survey, department Of the
interior
Reports submitted by So railroad com
panies, comprising all that operate oil
burning locomotives iii the United
States, show that the quantity Of oil
fuel SO consumed last year was - 1876
Al barrels, a gain of 5,477,951 barrels,
or l. per cent over the consumption in
1918.
This increase shows the steady cx-
pansion in the United States Of the
market for low grade petroleum from
Mexico rather than any appreciable in
crease in the use as fuel Of oweravity
crude oils from domestic sources, whose
value for refining is just beginning to
be recognized.

for him. Finally Mrs Lena Freeman,
his houSekceper, started toward the
station and as She came up the track
saw at first particles Of clothing and
then the body Of Mr.. Funke beside the
track, thrown against the fence with
such violence as to break the planks.

and evidently the trainmen knew moth
ing of the accident. Mr.. Funke had
evidently started to cross the tracks,
and, seeing the tram, turned to 90

Modesty.

When every pool in Eden was a. mirror
That uato Eve her dainty charms pro
claimed.
She Went undraped, without single
fear, or
Thought that she had need to be
ashamed.
Twas only when She d eatsn of the APP
ple
That She became inclined TO be
prude,
And found that evermore She a have
70 grapplc
With the much-debated proble NJ OF the
nude.
Thereafter she devoted her attention,
Her time and all her money to her
clothes,
And that was the beginning of con
vention,
And modesty, as well, | do suppose.
Reaction ! come about in fashion re-
cent;
Now girls conceal 50 little from the
men
That it would seem, in name Of all
that S decent,
Someone should pass the apples round
again.
Why worry about trifesa The hole
that lets the water into your shoe will
let it out again.
