HOW TO REMEMBER THINGS
Simple Ways by Which the Memory
May Be Trained to Be Great
Asset to Possessor.

In an article about q man with q
great memory, in the American Maya
zine n writer says:
"'Any test which trains your mind
to really see things at quick glance
will help n lot returned Horgan.
'One of the best tests 1 know is to
stand in front of the show window of
a store and glance quickly at all the
articles in the window and then turn
away and see how many you can re-
member. Practice will make anyone
pretty adept at this.
Look at the passengers opposite
you In n street car. Then shut your
eyes and try to visualize each one of
them. Glance at the advertising pla-
cards over their heads. Close your
eyes and see how many you can re-
member. All these things will help
you In remembering a mans features
from a quick glance; II would be inn
polite and usually impossible to stand
and stare In mans face for three or
four minutes.

Watch them. Keep lists of their
names. Sit down at night and check
up the people you have met that day !;

The Ever Useful Pocket.

Pockets are among the most useful
things ever invented.
What small town hick would do
for place to put his hands had he no
pockets is hard to imagine.
No man knows exactly how many
pockets he has. II yen don't believe 1t
ask the first man you meet. He can't
come within four Of it.
Each suit OF clothes is equipped with
SO many of these repositories that the
average she" can't think right of The
reel how many he has got.
Give man a suit OF clothes without
single pocket and he would be lost.
just look what man carries around in
his pockets.
Half dozen letters, can OF tobacco
and pipe, or two or three cigars
more often these are worn in his vest
Just over mis- heart fountain pen, a
pencil or two, a photograph Of dizzy
broiler he doesn't want wiley to see,
knife that won't cut anything, a key
ring with fourteen keys on it, some
stamps all stuck together, few rubber
bands, memorandum book, . news
PAPER clipping Of something the local
newspapers said about him, watch, a
poker chip, card or two admitting
him TO his favorite club, pocketbook
with some money in it, a laundry tic
ket, a rabbit foot, clasp OF silk
garter, a few cigar store coupons,
deck of cards, a pistol, recipe for
curing cold, piece OF court plaster,
dream book, lock Of hair, and on
ad infnitum
These are but few of the things he
carries. or course it requires a lot of
pockets That's why the average man
has between fourteen ard sixteen
pockets.

a new teacher. She was a CHEEKY,
pleasant faced young woman who
smiled easily, and the little chap began
TO have an odd ambition to call forth
one of those smiles exclusively for
himself
Miss Terry, the teacher, one day
read the children story about boy
who was determined to be a president
Of college, and how he persisted in
his ambition till he achieved it. Then
she said the children might ask any
question they wished. Billy's hand i'm
mediately came up, and Miss Terry
nodded.

"Of course ne ought to. But he must
begin right down at the bottom, and
learn first to make little bits of the
machine no larger than that" and she
measured an inch with her fingers.
"But when folks won't let him"
demurred Billy.
"Folks?" queried the teacher rather
mystihed. DO you mean his famlly?"
1t was Billy's turn TO be slightly en-
barrassed. lie did not mean family.
He meant Mrs. Perkins, but he felt it
would be rather personal to mention her
name The teacher was pauslng and
waiting for him to answer, so it was
incumbent on him to say something.

LATEST of Poets.

The LATEST of British poets and
possibly the LATEST of men, was
james Thomson, who won a place in
English literature by his two works,
"The Seasons" and "The Castle of In
lOlence." He is spoken Of as an Eng
lish poet because his work was done
in England, but he was Scotch by
extraction and by place of birth. He
was born ut Ednam, in ROXburgh-
shire, Scotland, in the year 17O0-nine
years before the birth of Samuel
Johnson. At the age of twenty-five
he went to London to make his way
In literature. He was tutor, writer
for the press, dramatist and poet, but
he Is remembered today by reason of
he two poems already mentioned. lie
died at the age Of forty-eight. 1t Is
related of Thomson that he seldom got
out of bed until noon and often not
then. Most of "The Seasons" and
nearly all of "The Castle of Incidence"
were written I'm bed. Thomson excelled
more In descriptions than in episode
or reflection.

BiIly's BeIated
Revenge
By Alice E. Ives


Copyright. 1917. by w. G. Chapman.)
Billy could never quite understand
why he was considered bad boy. Bill
ly being at this time nine years and
eight months old had not as yet de-
veloped a keen, analytical ability in
determining moral obligations. He
thought it odd that whatever he want
ed to do was exactly the opposite of
that which Mrs. Perkins wanted him
to do; and when he ventured to make
his own choice, and do the thing he
wished, Mrs. Perkins always called
him bad boy. He failed to see Mrs.
Perkins right to invariably oblige him
to go contrary to his natural incllna-
boys share at this moment in Billy's
views on conduct. But some reason
able ideas as to the value of the more
mature grounds for obedience in the
opinion of their elders have been in
stilled in their fallow minds with love
and patience, and considerably modl-
fled their moral outlook Little Billy
had never had this advantage.
Mrs. Perkins sent Billy to school be-
cause she would have been blamed by
her neighbors, IL she had let the boy
grow up in ignorance. He was neither
exceptionally bright nor dull, but just
about the average pupil. After the big
motor car works started on the edge
of the town, Bllly's percentage in
school examinations vislbly declined;
and his rating as a bad boy correspond
ingly rose. True this rating was the
work almost exclusively of Mrs. Per-
kins; but now that he had taken to
hanging about the machine shop, and
gazing through the windows at the
wonders going on within, his studies
suffered from a divided interest. The
garden also suffered, and this together
with some doubtful reports from school
caused Mrs. Perkins to reinforce her
words with more frequent applications
of the rod.
When Billy was a little past ten
years of age he fell into the hands Of

Some persons and newspapers have
been disposed to minimize the serious
ness of unpatriotic agitation in this
country. To them is referred the dis
closures made in the trial Of anti-draft
agitators in Oklahoma. According to
the testimony of one OF the witnesses,
a resolution nationwide in scope, and
which was expected to include 1000,
600 indictments, had been planned to
be launched in this country on the 9th
OF last July. According to the testi.
mony, the proposed rebellion was back
ed by the Industrial Workers Of the
World and 4S affiliated organizations.
A reign Of terror was TO be inaugural
ed, with assassination Of government
officials and the burning Of towns and
cities as features OF the uprising.
The revolution" failed to reyolys,
but that does not lesson the guilt Of
the individuals who planned it and the
organizations which lent it support.
All whose guilt can be established in
connection with this or any similar
plot should be executed. The republic
cannot with safety to itself show leni.
ency toward persons who plot against
the government, merely because their
schemes fail of fulfllment. The way
to discourage treason is to hang trait
ors.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cnret
Pub oct 4 II.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that Is by a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inlamed condition OF the mucous
lining OF the Eustachan Tube. When
this tube Is inilamed you have rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when IL is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored
to It's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an innamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts through the blood on the mucous
surfaces Of tho system.
