Humorina People isn't Pleasant.

"Humoring Il man" sounds like a
pleasant and comfortable thing, but
when one links humoring with the
question Of who makes the money, 1t
does not seem very %flatterlng to the
humorcr or the humoree, says a writer
in the Woman's Home Companion.
And what a lamentablc sight Is that
Of the humoree, what deep inequality
1t implies and what nn absence Of any
real respect or understanding between
two people In whose lives humOrlng
Ia a part Of the daily routine! When
the one to be humored is n woman 1t
may mean that n man has been forced
into the craven part Of doing anything
for the snke Of peace. There are few
concessions some men will not make
to avoid a domestic storm. Some un.
fortunate men there r who even
give M vital friendships, legitimate
forms Of recreation. and even their
own Municipalities In this unworthy
cnuSe.

How blessings bRighteo a. they take

Florence began to realize n the time

Then she began to see his name In the
papers. He was proving himself q dar-
Ing aviator. Mr. Amos HOlley had pre-
sented his son. Guy. with a finely
equipped airship which was TO he given
To the service Of the government. and
he young ma was expected soon to
sail for service in France.
Florence found she was watching
every paper to see II he had arrived
safely. A strange new sensation Of
thankfulness came when she heard he
was In France. The next news was Of
a daring flight over the enemy's lines.
and an honorable mention Of his feat.
Then n day Florence sat down and
wrote him q letter. In 1t she said: II

myself. Looking back on much that l

you have none Of that training before
hand you must study the rocks where
you came to grief so to pilot your bark
into smoother channels"
In closing the letter she asked him
to write and tell her something of his
life at the front. She received a reply
full of interest to her. He told very
m0destly some Of his adventures, and
admitted that he might also have made
some mistakes 'in the business of be-

In answer Florence wrote she did
not need to walt for "some day." She
had found the finer, stronger man. The

much more real than those of their
callow youth, and both are hoping the

OWE WEALTH TO TRADE RAT
Rodents Popularity Led to Discovery
Of Valuable Mine From Which He
Had Carried Away Ore.

Mlser the trade rat Is also called
pack rat, wood rat and bushy tailed
rat. He Is one Of the smartest and by
far the most interesting of all the rat
family.
He Is rather n 1ne-looking fellow.
lie Is of large size, has big eyes, big
ears, and, In many parts of thu. country
where he lives his tall Is covered with
long hair. 1t Is because of this thnt
he often is called the bushy-tailed rat.
This rat is a born collector and
trader. Anything he can carry of is
a prize. Very frequently he tries to
make amends by replacing with some
thing else the object carried away.
For instance, he will empty a bag of
seeds and fill it with pebbles or bits Of
sticks. He appears to be very fond Of
things that shine or are white, and
will collect shells. bones, pebbles. bits
Of tin, buckles. pistol cartridges,
spoons, forks and knives.
In the western part Of the United
States where gold and other ores are
mined, a valuable gold mine was dis
covered through Mlser's contribution
to n miner, says n writer In the PEG.
pies Home Journal. Mlser made many
visit to the prospectOr's cabin, taking
scraps Of food, and whatever. he fam
cied. He brought back fragments Of
quartz, and when these were assayed
they were found to be heavy with gold.
Miscr was tracked to his nest and
ZEAL 1t was found the gold bearing
vein from which the samples have been
taken. .... ......
He is a most Industrious fellow. In
n single night he will carry away
from a camp he may visit, n large pnrt
of the food left unprotected. leaving
in its place an equal quantity Of seeds,
| stones, pine cones or other things
which he can easily find. Altogether
he Is an amusing though often trou-
| blesome neighbor. His little junk shop
Is usually worth investigating.

APPLYING THE FUNDAMENTALS
OF A SOLDIER,

The young soldier has now been In.
itlated into the fundamentals which
make up the fighting man. All war is
Il serious business--.modern war Il busi-
ness of tremendous gravity. 1t is not
plny: with the nation at war, there is
no time for play. america must
realize" say the French generals,
that she cannot play at war;"
Whether or 10 America plays Mt
war or preparing for war depends upon
whether the young American soldier.
individually and collectively, goes
about his training In Il spirit of play.
or In deadly earnest. The young sol.
dler would do we'll TO see the moving
pictures-if he has the opportunity
delineating the work Of the British in
building up their immense citizen
armies. If he can do so, he will note
ut once that they did not play Mt
war;"
The driving earnestness Of their
training in England-which reached
fruition In France against the linden.
berg line-diners entirely from the
spirit In which such training has been
undertaken by a nation at peace. And
50 in every duty which is now assigned
to the young soldier, however trivial II,
may Mt first seem to him, he must
remind himself that his country Is
actually ut war-that he must learn
these things for early application In
the battle zone.
1t Is true that details of his train.
ing may be altered Or modified to suit
the new conditions of warfare, but the
fundamentals will remain the same
| And these Observation-Disclosures,
discipline, Intelligence, Initiative, team.
work, esprit de corps--have always
won battles and wars, and will con
tinue to win BATTLES and wars, whether
against the bow and arrow. the flint
lock or the 42-centimeter gun.
If the young soldier will return tc
the first articles of the series, treating
of these fundamentals. he will see that
the same principles have u through
out. He will see that his discipline
was as necessary--more necessary
when he was breaking through brush
on q patrol than when on parade; that
his sense of Identification with his unit
prevailed on sentinel duty as fully as
In the school of the squad. Otherwise.
he does not have in him the makings Of
Il soldier.
He will observe that drills are re.
peated again and again not alone to
perfect the men In marching and the
manual Of arms, hut because the repe.
tition Is more and more illuminating as
to the reasons why. as well as the
methods how, such things are to he
done. In short. the man who has once
been put through the school of the
company, then has twice the compre.
henslon of the meaning of the school
Of the squad and the school Of the sol.
dier.
The young soldier who has properly
progressed in his duties will find that
his mind has been "buckcd up" as
much as his body. Just as he has dis.
cnrled slack and shiftless habits OF
walking or standing. he will discard
shiftlcss habits Of thinking. Physical.
ly and mentally. he will come to the
scratch. He will remember that he Is
q representative as well as a defender
of his country. and he will strive to his
utmost at all times to do her credit.
