One Thing at a Time.

Perhaps because you have so many
goals you wish to reach you are far
away from any of them, observes an
efficiency expert.
You are dividing your forces.
You must have one real objective
point if you would win SUCCESSIVE
success which is worth winning.
1t is quite impossible to have one
major subject which you study ana
aim to excel in, and then fritter away
part of your time on others.
Certain arts and studies are allied
it's true.
Then select one and study it thor"
oughly and well.
Concentrated thought study and ac-
ton in one direction will accomplish
great things.
But a smattering of all and finish
of nothing is time wasted.
Choose wisely; then go to it Que
thing at a time.

A Hindrance,

An army officer who served in the
Spanish war tells of a New York regi-
ment, many of whose members were
recruited on the East side. They were
spelling for fight. and it became
necessary to post guards to preserve
order
A big husky Bowery recruit, of pu-
gilistic proportions, was put on duty
outside and given special orders to
see that quiet reigned, and, above all
things, if trouble came his way, not
to lose possession of his rifle.
Soon a general row began, grow
ing in proportions as the minutes pass
ed. The soldier walked his post ner-
Yously, without interrupting, until the
corporal of the guard appeared on the
scene with re-enforcements.
., "Why didn't you stop this row." de-
manded the corporal
The sentry balanced his rifle on his
shoulder, raised his arm to- the cor
rect boxing position, and reph&d

yielded, and descended to the library,

Causes Of Winds.

Winds are produced by disturb
ance of the equilibrium in some part
of the atmosphere; disturbance al
ways resulting from a difference In
temperature between adjacent Sec
tions. Thus, if the temperature of
certain extent of ground becomes high
er, the air in contact with it becomes
heated, it expands and goes towards
the colder or higher regions Of the
atmosphere; whence it flows, produc-
ing winds which blow from hot to GELD
countries. But at the same time the
equilibrium is destroyed at the sur"
face of the earth, for the pressure on
the colder adjacent parts is greater
than on that which has been heated,
and hence a current will be produced
with a velocity dependent on the diff
ference between these preSSures; thus
two distinct winds will be produced
an upper one setting Outwards from
the heated region, and lower one set
ting inwards towards it.

Mr.. Williams entered at one door
as his son crossed the threshold of the
other and this encounter was pite-
Gus sight. After one glance at his ia
ither's face, Sam turned desperately,
as if to flee outright. But Mrs. Will
.liams stood in the doorway behind
him.
"You come herew And the fathers
voice was as terrible as his face.
."What did you do to George Bas-
sett?"
"Nothin'," Sam gulped; ':nothin' at
ALL"
"What! I"
"We just-we just 'nishiated him."
Mr.. Williams turned abruptly,
walked to the fireplace, and there
turned again, facing the wretched
Sam.
That's all you did?''
"YeS, SIR"
"Ge0rgie Bassett's mother has just
told me over the telephone" said Mr..
Williams deliberately, that You and
PenrOd Schofield and ROderick Bits
and Maurice Levy lured George into
the cellar and had him beaten by ne
grOesw
At this, Sam was able to hold up his
head a little and to summon a rather
feeble indignation.

the cellar. We weren't goin' near the
cellar with him. We never thought
of goin' down cellar. He went down
there himself, first"

away from you, poor thing! Trying to
escape from you, wasn't he?"

.Yes'm,r said Fanny. "It's 20
house, Miz williams, not mine. You
want 'em tear it down, Pm willin'."
She departed, and Mrs. Williams
continued to sew. The days were grow
ing short, and at five o'clock she was
obliged to put the work aside, as her
eyes did not permit her to continue it
by artificial light. Descending to the
lower aoor,, she found the house silent,
and when she opened the front door
to see if the evening paper had come,
she beheld Sam, Penrod and Maurice
Levy standing near the gate engaged
in quiet conversation. Penrod and
Maurice departed while she was look
ing for the paper, and Sam came
thoughtfully up the walk.
"Well, SAM" she said, "it wasn't
such bad thing, after all, to show a
little politeness to George Bassett,
was it?"
Sam gave her a noncommittal look
Expression OF every kind had been
wiped from his countenance. He pre-
sented a blank surface.
"No'm," he said meekly.
Everything was just little pleas
anter because you'd been friendly,
wasn't it?'
"Yes'm."
"Has George gone home"
"Yes'm."
Il hear you made enough noise In
the cellar Did George have good
time"
"Ma'am?
"Did George Bassett have good

"Welr'-Sam now had the air of a
person trying to remember details with
absolute accuracyL"well he didn't
say he did, and he didn't say he didn't"
"Did he thank the boys?"
"Nom."
"Dldn't he even thank you?"
"Nom."
"Why, that's queer" she said. "He's
always so polite. He seemed to be
having a good time, didn't he, Sam?"
"Ma'am?"
"Didn't George seem to be enjoying
himself?"
This question, apparently so simple,
was not answered with promptness,
Sam looked at his mother in a puzzled
way, and then found it necessary to

said hoarsely. "She wants to talk to
you, too. She can't talk much-she's
hysterical. She says they lured
George into the cellar and had him
beaten by negroes That's not all"
Mr.. williams was already on his
way.
"You find Samv' he commanded,
over his shoulder.
Mrs. Williams stepped into the front
hall.

upper reaches of the stairway. "Sam r

"Saml !"
A faint clearing of somebody's throat
was heard behind her, sound SO mod
est and unObtrusive it was no more
than just audible, and, turning, the
mother beheld her son sitting upon
the floor in the shadow of the stairs
and gazing meditatively at the nat
rack. His manner indicated that he
wished to produce the impression that
he had been sitting there, in this some
what unusual place and occupation,
for considerable time, but without
overhearing anything that went on In
the library, so close by.

SOLDIERS "OVER THERE"
"SORE' ON BALL PLAYERS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14-It may sur
prise the professional ball players OF
the United States to know that the
American soldiers now fighting in
France do not hold them in high es-
TEEN; that they do not scramble for
news of how the big league races
are going. and that they do not care
whether Cobb and Speaker and Baker
are hitting 800 or 5000.
The fact that the ball players aren't
hitting in the big, big game across
the water is the reason for this feel
ing, according to Lieut.. Harry Nc
Cormick, once a big Lacquer, but now
fighter, who has just returned from
the shsll-swept front. Two weeks
ago Monday Lieutenant Mccormick
was in action somewhere in France"
in a town mentioned in the big head
lines every day. He Is here under
orders, the nature OF which is secret,
but he hopes and expects to go back
to the frcEt as soon as his duty on
this side of the ocean Is finished.
The lieutenant was at the Polo
Grounds yesterday, looking husky and
it. Harry always looked well in a
baseball suit, but he looks ten times
better than that in his officers uni
form. He says he has gained twelve
pounds since leaving the front-line
trenches.
Haven't Been On Level.
"The feeling among the boys over
there seems generally to be that the
ball players haven't acted on the
level" said the lieutenant. "'The SOL
diers feel that there has been too
much evasion. too much hanging
back, too much side stepping by the
ball players when other men, just
as good, have given up paying places
and gone into the big game. That
seems to them the ONLY thing for
real men just now.
"The boys are generally incensed
over the statements they read to the
effect that ball players have sought
