AN oEElcE BOYS RISE.

Chicago Herald: Thirty years ago a
boy was given a minor position with
the N. X. Fairbank company. He
was tireless and from the first took
as much interest in the business as il
he owned it. 1t has since been said
that the only time he ever was heard
to complain was when they wouldn't
let him work twelve hours a day.
That boy was Joseph Dixon Lewis.
His rise was rapid. He went from
one job to another, always higher.
will he never stop?" his friends
asked, and the reply came in promo
ton after promotion.
He finally was elected vice presi-
dent and general manager of the con-
Germ, in which position he achieved
such success that recently he was
unanimously chosen the president of
the corporation in which he started
as an Office boy.
He also was made president of the
American Cotton Oil company and the
Union Seed & Fertilizer company,
subsidiaries of the Fairbank company
The capitalization OF the three COM
panies aggregates $3.50, 100000.
Asked his recipe for success. Mr..
Lewis said: Rise early. work late,
play hard, be merry. don't worry and
be good"

Edison, the Silent.

For many weary months now the
world has been asking itself the
question, What is Edison doing?"
and as yet there has been no def
mite answer We are assured in
vague terms that he is perfecting
some device or devices that will
have powerful influence in terminal
ing the conflict, but the months drag
on and we are as much in the dark
aSe yer. We are mysteriously in
formed that he has discovered or
isolated or located or invented some
kind of ray" that will burn up a
battleship or town at a distance
of many miles, but that ray" has
not yet Illuminated our darkness.
1t may be that one or more of his
discoveries are already in use. If SO,
why not let the public know? Surely
the bare knowledge that our faith in
him is not misplaced, could work no
harm. Seriously, the American peo-
pie need all the encouragement
they can get in the days that are be-
fore them, and if Mr.. Edison's ge-
MUS is still working full time it
would help us to know it.

PATRIOTISM AMONG KEYSTONE
GIRLS,

The famous bathing beauty squad
out at the Triange-Keystone studio
headed by Aileen Allen, who holds
the worlds fancy diving chamion-
ship, organized the "Triangle-Key-
stone Liberty Bond Girls" composed
of herself and three other members
of the bathing squad, Myrtle Reeves,
Clara Roberts and Dada Holland.
After selling one or more bonds to
nearly every one in the studio, the
girls operated in the Hobbies of sew
eral Los Angeles theatres where Tri-
angle pictures were shown and dis
posed of large number. Miss Allen
sold nineteen in one day. If it were
possible for the Triangle-Keystone
girls to extend their efforts to other
cities they would certainly have
made a clean up, for man who
would refuse a Triangle-Keystone
beauty is either a financial wreck or
a poor patriot.

Interesting political developments
growing out of the fight of the vets
and drys in Kentucky may be looked
for next year when the election of a
United States Senator comes up, &C
cording to we'll founded report
from Louisville.
This report is to the effect that
United States Senator Ollie James,
who will seek reelection, is TO have
opposition from the dry wing of the
Democratic party. The man said to
be selected as the champion of the
dry Democrats to oppose the Senior
Senator for the nomination, is Judge
Isaac Thurman, of Springfield,
whose temperance proelivities are
we'll known in his section and who is
to measure up to the standard of Sem
atorial timber in ability. Coming
from a county adjoining Nelson, the
former home of Senator Beckham, it
is understood that Judge Thurman
will have the cordial support of the
organization, with which he has been
heretofore politically allied, and
which is pledged to dry program in
State and Nation.

What Men Like.

Men like pretty home-makers, no
mistake there. You can appreciate
beauty as well as the next one, but
they want that beauty to be of an
order that appeals to their comfort.
Of what good are cushions so elab-
orately embroidered that no head
can rest on them? What sense is
there in easy chairs of such rich
material that they are quite the re-
verse of the name given them? Is
there any satisfaction in room the
furnishings of which cost hundreds
of dollars, when it is only open at
rare intervals, when the owner, per-
haps, sits by the kitchen fire. or in
some dingy sitting-room, where he
can put his feet on the fender, if
he wants to, can smoke, and as a
great indulgence, tilt back his
chair?

AN OLD MANS STOMACH.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches

will find that he is a light eater.
Be as careful as you will, however,
you will occasionally eat more than
you should and will feel the need Of

With banners triumphant un-

Are gathering now at our mighty
Kings command
To bear his standard round the
world.
With faith in God as our ever shin

With firmness, with patience and

Well stand for Christ till the world
to Him shall yield
And the flag of union floats above.
Chorus:
Shout a loud, hosanna,
Oh! praise our God today
For Christ and the Church and our
blest Endeavor bands
In the old, Kentucky home far

Begirt with truth we shall never
weary grow,
Tho sorrow and sadness aSSail
For Hope shall whisper of Heaven
as we go
And cheer when fainting hearts
shall fail.
The night will come with holy
hours of rest,
When life and it's trials are DER ::
The soul will sleep on the Savior

And bear the weary load no more.
Chorus:
When home ties call and the time
has come to part,
When lips breathe the tender
goodbye;
When mem'ries deep fill the cavern

And tears unbidden dim the eye,
We shall sing of another happy time
When, mingled in union once

Well chant the strain of that mel

That the angels sing forevermore.

The Problem of Poverty.

2 THE poor We have always with
you There were many people who
entertained hopes that the Commits
sion on Industrial Relations, after
its long hearing of evidence, would
be able to make some weighty pro-
posals for the betterment of eco
nomic conditions. But it was i'm
probable at the start that a prob
lem which the world has vainly con-
fronted for thousands of years,
could be solved by any one little
group of men.
1t would amount to nothing to
double wages for many people.
They would simply retain their fire.,
spending habits and have nothing
left. An industrious man of fair
abilities, if he has the pioneer spirit
and the willingness to be content
with simple pleasures, can usually
lay up little money. With a home
