By BILLY SUNDAY Famous Evangelist)

Of all the ancient alibis sprung by ginks who are weary of work, the one that gives me the rag is that antique saying that Rome was not built in a day"
 When a lazy loon gets the old call for not having made showing on the job he pulls that one about Rome. The same way with the de1atory duck who hasn't even begun what he's got to do He eases his way out with the lons- whiskered proverb about the putting up of the Italian capital.
 Of course, Rome was not built in a day. But Rome was started in a day, and good many days and years of solid work were put in on it before it became a burg that could brag about itself
 Never mind if you don't get very far on the old task the first morning it is slipped to you. Just plug along that afternoon and also that night and by the time a couple of days go by you'll be surprised to see how much of the road you have covered.
 Matty didn't hurl the fadeaway the first time he went into the box for d kid club down in that hick town III Pennsylvania. He was probably batteG out. But he didn't holler: "Aw, I'm no good; I'm going to give up because can't be a pitcher in a day"
 But day by day and year by year lie

was better-until he had them all standing on their heads, chronically.
 Ty Cobb. when he started for sec ond in his first game down Georgia way, was chucked out. standing up, about 20 feet off the bag But he didn't quit and say:
 "Oh, Rorne was not built in a day I'll learn this game some other time
 He kept at it until he could pretty nearly wait till the catcher had the ball in his mitt and then beat the throw.
 And Iris Speaker didn't throw away his bat because he couldn't locate the pill the first fling he had at the horse hide and holler about busting it some time in the future.
 That stuff about Rome will never get you anywhere. lads And this goes for your business, for your try at be- ing better guy, for anything you start that is worth while: It's not the showing of the first day that counts: it's the fact that you've made start. When you have made it, keep going. never mind trying to be d star the first time out But try to work little harder. to be a little decenter as you go along, and the first thing you know you won't be plugging, but you'll be breezing. And the further you go the easier it will get and the faster you will move. Rome may not have been finished in a day, but they built a lot of 1t with an early start Don't stall with your self.

 l Guarantee Dodsons Liver Tone Don't take nasty, dangerous calomel when bilious,
 constipated, headachy. Listen to me!

Calomel makes you sick; you lose a days work. Calomel is quicksilver and 1t salivates; calomel injures your liver.
 If you are bilious, feel lazy. sluggish and all knocked out, if your bowels are constipated and your head aches or stomach is sour just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone instead of using sickening salivating calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver medicine. You'll know it next morning because you will wake up feeling fine, your liver will be working, your head ache and dizziness gone, your stomach will be sweet and bowels regular. You will feel like working. You'll be cheer ful; full of vigor and ambition.
 Your druggist or dealer sells you a

Your druggist guarantees that each spoonful will start your liver, clean your bowels and straighten you up by morning or you get your money back. Children gladly take Dodsons Liver Tone because 1t is pleasant tasting and doesn't gripe or cramp or make them sick.
 I am selling millions of bottles of Dodson's Liver Tone to people who have found that this pleasant, vegetable liv- CT medicine takes the place of dan gerous calomel. Buy one bottle on my sound, reliable guarantee. Ask your druggist about me.-Ady.

Undoubtedly

From the Buffalo News
 A party from the West of England was being shown over the British museum and in one of the rooms the keeper pointed out collection of antique vases which had been recently unearthed
 Do you mean they were dug up?" echoed one of the party. ~
 Yes, sir
 .What-out of the ground?"
 Undoubtedly"
 sWhat-just as they now are?'
 Perhaps some little pains have been taken in cleaning them, but in all other respects they were found just as you see them"
 The countryman turned to one of his companions and, with an increduious shake of the head whispered:
 He may say what he likes, but he shall never persuade me that they dug up readymade pots out of the ground.

uneccentric in appearance, and very
simple in his manner; he also departs
from the traditions of war talks by
refusing to harrow. When the tale of
the worlds tragedy gets too raw for
overwrought nerves, Mr.. Noyes ceases
to be the raconteur and gives one of
his poems to stir up deeper patriotism
or TO make people realize that life is
worth living after all. For Alfred
Noyes firmly believes that from this
terrible turmoil is tc come a stronger
and better world.
The quick response to Alfred Noyes'
personality is shown by the way he
came to be chosen visiting professor
of modern literature at Princeton Uni
versity. On his second trip to this
country Mr.. Noyes was the guest of
President Hibben. at Princeton, and
gave public lecture one evening;
the next morning reading from his
poems to the Senior class of the col
lege- So deep was the impression he
created that before he left he was
asked to join the stan of the univer-
sity.
Mr.. Noyes will be the guest of John
Fox Weiss while in Harrisburg. Mr..
Weiss is one of the directors of the
Harrisburg s. p. C. A, and is also a
warm friend and admirer of Alfred
Noyes. When the Society realized that
it was, as the boys say, up against
it," Mr.. Weiss said: There is no one
who can help us out of our difficult
ties like Alfred Noyes. If the Board
agrees I'll see if we can get him"
Mr.. Weiss hopes must not be dis
appointed. When the noted poet is re-
introduced to Harrisburgers this even-
ing by that friend of education. A.
Carson Stamm. president of the Harris
burg School Board, may he face an
audience that will fill the Technical
High school to overflowing. 1t will be

Incendiary Fire Burns
Barn, Horses, Cattle and
Crops in Path Valley

Chambersburg, Pa. April 1s.-Just
before dawn to-day the large bank
barn of w. w. Grouse. at Willow Hill,
Path Valley, was totally destroyed by
an incendiary fire. His residence was
saved by the hardest work on the part
of the family and neighbors. The to-
tai loss will exceed $1,000. Besides
crops, meats and machinery, there
were seven horses, twelve cattle, a lot
of sheep, hops and chickens burned.
The first men at the fire found the
doors. which had been closed at night,
all standing open and the interior a
raging furnace.
