FORGET DATE HAS CHANGED
That So Many Forgot to Write 1911"
Proves That Man Is Creature
of Habit.

"That man Is q creature Of habit"
remarked the secretary Of large bust
ness firm, sis amply demonstrated by
the letters we receive. This letter
which hold in my hand contains an
error generally made at this time Of
the year, not because the writer's are
careless but because they have cult
waited the habit of writing a certain
thing mechanically.
During the life Of the year now ex.
'pired the writer's had grown accus.
toned to putting down the numerals
1916. Doubtless at first it required eff.
fort on their part to bear in mind that
the last figure Of the set was 6 and not
B, but after a time the writing Of g
became a mechanical act rather than
a mental act. 1t became second ma,
ture for them to write the date cor
rectly.
with the birth Of new year, how.
ever, the mechanical writer's must ex.
ert mental effort. When they don't
they err. Take this case, for instance.
You see the writer has turned out
what he considers perfect letter. He
probably reread it and sealed 1t salts
fed that it was correct. But he never
thought to look at the date, at least
the year part Of 1t. The result is that
instead Of dating it January, 1917, he
has dated it January, 1916. Just a
mechanical, error, that's all.
"A peculiar phase Of the matter Is
that the error is usually made by per.
sons who write their own correspond.
ence, especially In long hand. Stenog.
raphers who are paid to write the cor.
respondence Of others on typewriters
have developed the habit Of being ae
curate."

the slightest resistance. She had wait
ed for this hour and she was glad.
They had faced death too nearly for
any hesitation now. She knew. he
loved her, and knew that he had
saved her at the imminent risk Of his
own life. There had been swift yet
eternal moments when 1t seemed that
both Of them, trembling on the brink,
would follow the downward rush Of
the gusset plate. Now as he strained
her to him, she lifted her face to him,
glad that she was tall enough for him
to kiss her with so slight a bend Of
the head.
There, under the great trusses Of
steel, amid the huge, gaunt, massive
evidences Of the power of the might,
of the mastery Of man, two hearts
spoke to each other in the silence, and
told the story that was old before the
first smelter had ever turned the first
ore into the first bit Of iron, before
Tubal Cain ever smote the anvil; the
story of love that began with creation.
that will outlast all the iron in all the
hills of the earth-that Is as eternal
as it is divine!
After that wild embrace, that first
rapturous meeting Of lips, he released
her slightly, though he still held her
closely and she was quite content.
'I'm quite calm now" he began,
"that is, am as composed as any man
could be who is holding you in his
arms. But If it had not been for me,
you would never have been in danger.
1t was my fault. I should have made
sure. shall never forgive myself"
'But if had not been in danger I
might not now be here in your arms.
And if were not here" she went on
swiftly, too happy in her love to be
mindful Of anything else, II certainly
would not be doing-this."
And of her own motion she kissed
him in the moonlight.
"And If you were not doing this"
said he, making the proper return, II
might not have had the courage to tell
you"
"You haven't told me anything-in
words" she answered, fain to hear
from his lips what she well knew from
the beating of his heart.
"Tt's not too late then to tell you
that love you, that am yours. To
give myself to you seems to be the
highest possibility in Life, II you will
only take me-" T1
"And do you love me more than the
bridge?"
'More than all the bridges in the
world, past, present and to come; more
than anything or anybody. I tell you
I never knew what love was or what
life was until saw you sliding to your
death. If I had not succeeded I should
have followed you"

How Animals Feed.

How Animals Feed.
The squirrel carries it food in its
mouth by means of it's paws, while the
elephant uses It's trunk. The giraffe
anteater and toad employ THEFT
tongues, but spiders masticate thei,
food with horny jaws.
The caterpillar is provided with saw.
edged jaws, and uses them so well that
every day he consumes at last three
times his own weight in food. Toads,
turtles and tortoises do not possess
teeth.
Frogs have only an upper row OF
teeth, and Holsters and crabs have set
Of teeth in their stomachs. The tiger
and lion do not grind their food; as
a matter Of fact, their teeth only work
with an up-and-dOwn movement, much

 The ordinary Jewish people, who had nourished for many years a hatred against their enemy, Rus eia, had not time to "ealize at once the great change. It became the task, therefore, of the Yiddish press to arouse fidelity to free Russia. It became the duty of that press to teach the common Jewisc people the great le son of why the Govern ment of the United States entered this war and of how it was utterly impossible for it to stay any long CT out of it.
