Shameful Libel.

The first man to use a bathtub as a
coal bin was not an untutored immi-
grant, as many persons suppose, but
a conservative old New Englander,
who regarded the new-fangled tub as
a sinful folly and remained loyal to
the Saturday night washtub in the
kitchen. The new bathroom, being
off the living room, was found to be
convenient for storage, and they used
the tub for keeping the coal for the
Franklin stove.-Exchange.

If music is the art in which you are
ambitious to distinguish yourself, you
may have to go away from home to get
the necessary training, and perhaps
cross the water, to secure the finishing
touches. But the art of living can be
practiced right at home, and very like

can be found anywhere, in the circle

Evolution Of the Wheel.

Naturally, there was first man to
eat an oyster, and there must have
been some heroic pioneer to tackle
every edible article that is known to
civilization today. High authority has
bestowed eulogy on the man who in
vented the wheel. and some have gone
so far as to assert that this unidenti-
fed genius was the greatest benefac-
tor Of the race, but we may doubt II
the wheel was really an invention. It
seems more likely to have been a
gradual discovery, the result Of q slow,
evolutionary process for which no man
or group of men could claim the cred

ORGANIZING THE ARMY

After the fatal registration lists
are complete, after the names are
drawn, p after the drafted men are
thumped and mauled by the doctors,
the army is raised-on paper. But
the work has only begun.
There follows stupendous task,
that of supplying and arming the men.
There are a million hungry and husky
fellows to feed They must have
clothes for heat, cold, and wet, They
must have arms at least equal to the
foes. They must be protected against
germs and trench infection.
The job of training them in fighting
technique is comparatively simple. Z
The supply proposition is a job COM
parable to running the United States
Steel corporation or the Pennsylvan-
ia railroad, and it is new kind of work
at which everyone Is an amateur. No
wonder it drags, while our allies
watch and wait impatiently for our
e.
To perform this amazing task, all
political feeling must pass. We must
stop being Republicans and democrats
and socialists and be simply Ameri-
cans. Technical experts must give
service free. Politicians must step
aside, and the United States must be-
come pure business corporation In
so far as we can maintain these high
standards, we shall prove a winner
in the field. i ~. .. us .-.. - h..

Hervey Smith MCGOWAN, who will
deliver his lecture ON Kings and

the last afternoon of Chautauqua, Is a
man OF various talents and wide ex-
perience. He has succeeded as lee
turer, business man and author.
Some years ago Mr.. MCGOWAN was
considered 10 be one of the foremost
popular lecturers on the platform and
was In great demand. Overwork
caused nervous breakdown and the
lecturer left the rostrum for the Cattle
camps Of the Southwest in the hopes
OF regainkng his health. 49,. *

During his university days and later
In his professional work he was asso-

Of people. Out in the great open
places OF the Southwest he met diff
ferent class of meg. The dress suit
and top hat were lacking and In their
places were the corduroys, wooden
shirts and SLOUGH hats of the cattle
men. He found, however, that the

He found that not, all our heroes and

the world is full of kings and queens

the crowns of manhood and woman

GLORIFIES HOME ,a T.,
Mr.. MCGOWAN glorifies the American
home and lauds the unsung heroines

Out among the big hearted men Of

Wien a clothing concern, located in
a city of less than four thousand pop

maintain two of the country's great
est manufacturers of 'ready-to wear
garments, together with representa-,
tive lines in other departments, that
concern is worthy OF and should re-
'ceive the very best or patronage.
In this connection. c. l.. Ducander,
dealer in clothing and shoes, and who
entered business here three and one
half years ago, is giving Denison a
service in this line not excelled in
any city in this section, regardless OF
size.
Mr.. Ducander, upon whom the en-
tire management of the store devol-
YES was convinced from the begin
ming that Denison and vicinity would
appreciate and support strictly first
class establishment Of this kind and
entered the business with a determ-
ination to carry the same high grade
lines, offering the same opportunity
for selection, as do stores in the larg-
est cities in the country. The fact
that each succeeding year has shown
a gratifying increase in patronage,
proves conclusively that his efforts
have been appreciated. p. t.'.a'.

Mr.. Ducander is carrying right here

business man, and popular with all
classess he has in the last few years,
Increased the patronage Of his estab,
lishment wonderfully, at the same
time laying a foundation for the fu-
ture of the business.
Consistent advertising in the Re-
view has been one of the keynotes
of Mr.. Ducander's success, for he is
firm believer in advertising. Ever
on the alert for better way to serve
his customers he has secured a lease
on the lower floor of the new Fergu-

struction and will move to the new
quarters when completed. Here the
new store will be equipped with the
