Chinese locksmiths.

The earliest locks known to man
were of Chinese make. Although it ia
impossible to tell the exact date OF
those still extant, they are wonderfully
well made and as strong as any manu-
featured in Europe up to the middle
OF the eighteenth century. The Chi
nese locksmith Of today uses exactly
the same kind OF tools that his forefa-
theirs had. for they are very simple
and primitive He carries all his i'm
plements in two cabinets, sitting on
one and working at the other. When
be has finished all the work available
In one neighborhood he fastens the
two cabinets TO a bamboo rod and
sings 1t over his shoulder. He tramps
through the towns burdened In this
way and stops when he is called, much
as a scissors grinder or umbrella
member does in our country. - Wide

Passersby on North Main street this
morning about II o'clock had chance
to witness one of the daily occurrences,
when a farmer from Washington way
was trying to cross the track near the
Ladd store, and on trying to rein his
horse from the car track rut, the sleigh
tipped over, spilling the contents of the
sleigh. The horse started on run, after
turning around, and headed toward South
Main street. Several men, who happened
to be passing at the time, jumped for the
horses head, and got him under control
before anyone was hurt. Both driver
and horse escaped any injuries, but one
of the sleigh runners was somewhat
smashed

A RUNAWAY HORSE.
Use Your Hat and Your Head, II 10
Said, and You Can Stop Him.

0Ai0f rVG van 0top
The observer of people and events
/ wonders how many people have the
! slightest notion as to how to stop a
runaway horse. An old farmer in an
adjacent state was coming home the
other morning when he heard a terrific
commotion behind him and. when he
turned. saw horse racing toward
him In a frenzy of fear. In the spring
wagon was little boy Of six or seven.
and behind the swaying vehicle was
gray haired man-evidently the child's
misunderstanding the runaway.
In an instant the farmer was out in
the middle OF the road with his hat
whisked off his head, both arms gyrat-
ing In wide circles. The hat did the
work, for the farmer told folks after
ward that his mother had told him
that horse would always stop at the
sight of hat being whirled directly In
front of 1t. The animal came to stop
within few inches Of the farmer, who
stood his ground. 1t was the work of
few seconds to calm the quivering
animal. and soon the grandfather came
up. He threw his arms around the
rescuer and fairly wept for Joy.
Next time you see a runaway Dobbin
coming your way don't forget to use
your hat--and your head.-C Columbus

Horses are fond of rolling on the
ground, and no animal more thorough
ly shakes itself than they do. After
roll they give themselves a shake
or two to remove anything adhering
to the coat. The habit is of much
service to horses living in open plains.
On being turned loose at the end Of
journey an Arab horse rolls in the
sand, which acts as plotting paper, alb
sorbing exudations from the body. A
shake removes the sand, and the coat
soon dries. Cavalrymen In hot climates
sometimes put sand on their horses as
the simplest and quickest way Of drying
them.

NAMES IN JAPAN.
The Only Lasting Title Man Gets
Comes When He Dies.


The japanese have many quaint Gus
toms handed down from generation to
generation. One of the strangest Is
that of their naming ceremony. When
one month old japanese child gets its
first name with ceremonial Trumpets
are blown, and the child is borne in
great state to the family temple, and
behind the procession march the house
hold servants carrying the infants
wordrobe. The servant in the rear of
the procession bears a huge box, In
which is the priests fee, together with
three slips of paper, ON which three
names are written. On reaching the
temple the names are thrown into the
air. and the first that touches the
ground is the one which the child re.
ceiyes.
When three years old the child is
again named, accompanied by elaborate
religious rites. At the age of fifteen
his education is supposed to be fin
tshed, and as he then enters manhood
according to Japanese law he is again
named.
When he takes to business he re
ceives his business" name, by which
he is known in the commercial world
and upon every upward step in life he
receives a new name. If his master
happens to have the same name he
must at once change 1t, as it detracts
from his superior's dignity. At his
marriage his name is altered again,
and his last and only permanent one is
that given him after death, which is
written on his tomb.--London Answers.

The Eurtixe Look.

Here Is something worth while for
bachelors to consider.
A Boston woman says she can detect
a bachelor as far as she can see him.
She always knows bachelor by his
furtive look. The furtive look, she ex-
plains, is something akin to that of a
hunted animal, always on the watch
for snares and pitfalls. OF course this
may apply only to Boston bachelors,
but 1t would be well for all other sin
gle unfortunates to take a good look
at themselves in the mirror and find
that telltale look. II they do there is
an easy way to efface it--Cleveland

CALLS BOYS TO THE C0LORS
Ages of Sixteen and TWenty-One
to Join Working Reserve.

Young men of the country between
the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, not
now employed, are called upon by
President Wilson TO serve the nation
by joining the United States Boys
Working reserve. In a letter made
public by Secretary Wilson Of the la
Dor department, the president says Ii
is the patriotic duty of these young
men to use their spare time In produc-
in the present crisis. The presidents
letter follows:
Permit me to express my great ap-
probation of the great work underta-
ken by the United States Boys Work
ing reserve of the employment service
Of the department of labor. To give to
the young men between the ages of six.
teen and twenty-one the privilege Of
spending their spare time in productive
enterprises without interrupting their
studies at school, while their older
brothers are battling in the trenches
and on the seas, must greatly increase
the means of providing for the forces
at the front and the maintenance of
thoes whose services are needed here
It is a high privilege, no less than a
patriotic duty, to help support the ma
ton by devoted and intelligent work in
this great crisis.
Let me express the hope that the
young men of the country not now per-
manently employed may eagerly enter
the Boys Working reserve TO fit them
selves by training and study for good
citizenship and productive service. In
this way they can show themselves
worthy of patriotic fathers who have
fought for democracy in the past, sus-
tain their patriotic brothers who are
fighting for it today and command the
affectionate pride of the brave mothers
who are silently bearing the burdens
at home"
