Disousted Motorman,

A young woman accompanied by a
little boy, signaled State street car at
Schiller street. The conductor gave
the customary two rings and the car
started. At the same moment a man
rushed from the sidewalk, waving his
arms frantically at the motorman and
pointing to something under the rear
wheels of the car.
The motorman turned pale as he
clamped down the emergency brake
and brought the car to such q sudden
stop that 1t knocked the heads of pas
sengers together.
He waited breathless as the man
dived under the truck and brought
forth triumphantly--not the crushed
form Of little child, but the young
woman's hat.
"Humph!" !" said the motorman dis
gustedly; ito stop car just for a
hat !"-Chicago American.

Success ls a Habit.

e. w. Howe. the Kansas writer and
philosopher, says that success is
easier than failure" He Is right. For
constructive forces always work
smoother than destructive forces.
Success is habit. It's doing the
simple, everyday, useful tasks that
look very important, and Going them
exceedingly well.
Nearly always the successful man Is
the unnoticed man, the man who be-
gan years before to do the simple
things in. the best way he knew how
and kept it up. The man who did the
right thing-over and over again.
The small and unimportant today
made into habits sure to be the
great and essential tomorrow when

ounce Of all that you are.

DIR. CLINTON J. HYDE THE PRICE YOU PAY

"I know I ought to take treatment; I have been running down for the last year or two. I am all Jagged out, have no ambition, worry from morn ing till night, don't care whether I am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the same work l used to do some years ago. If 1 were as strong as I was, l could earn good a good specialist, but l cannot afford money. 1 know 1 ought to treat with to pay for the treatment.'
 You are paying for it NOW, my friend, and dearly; yet you do not get it.
 Let me tell you why.
 Your health is your capital: your working capacity is the interest you are drawing.
 A good manager never spends more than his interest.
 Should he begin to draw on the capital his interest would. of course, decrease.
 And what are you doing?
 You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you can- not work and earn what you used to. Do YOU see the point? ! ou are draw ing on your capital---Which is your health-by allowing it to run down, and so the interest (your working capacity) is steadily growing smaller.
 You used to make good money; now YOU earn about half of what you used to get.
 To make two, three or four dollars was play to you; and you had all your heart and soul in your work.
 These happy days are gone.
 You now barely make a living and find it almost beyond your strength. And you shudder at the thought of what will happen when the final breakdown comes.
 Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are gong to lose is beyond estimation.
 The dollar you MIGHT earn, but don't, is an actual expense to you You spend it. And what do you get for it. Worry, anxiety, despondency, want and deprivation for your family
 The dollar you take out of your pocket and spend for treatment with an experienCed pecalist is not an expense. It ts an investment And in return you get increased working ability, higher wages. health and hap pineSS at home,
 Which will you choose?
 Can YOU hesitate?

CHAPTER TX.
Old Adelhert.

Old Adelbert of the opera had lost
his position. No longer, a sausage In
his pocket for refreshment, did he
leave his little room daily for the
opera. A young man, who made ogling
eyes at Olga, Of the garde-robe, and
who was not careful to keep the lenses
clean, had taken his place.
He was hurt In his soldiers soul.
There was no longer a place In the
kingdom for those who had fought for
1t. The cry was for the young. And
even in the first twenty-four hours a
subtle change went on In him. His
loyalty, on which he had built his
creed Of life, turned to bitterness.
The first day of his idleness he wan
dered into the back room Of the cob
bler's shop near by, where the butter
seller from the corner, the maker Of
artificial flowers for graves, and the
cobbler himself were gathered, and lis
tened without protest to such talk as
would have reused him once to white
anger.
But the iron had not yet gone very
deep, and one thing he would not per-
init. It was when, in the conversation,
one of them attacked the king. Then
indeed he was reused to fury.
Once upon q time a student named
Haeckel had occasionally backed him
up In his defense Of the royal family.
But for some reason or other Haeckel
came no more, and old Adelbert missed
him. He had inquired for him fire.
quently.
"where is the boy Haeckelf" he had
asked one day. II have not seen him
lately"
No one had replied. But sort Of
grim silence settled over the little
room. Old Adelbert. however. was not
Discerning.
But, that FIRST day of idleness, when
he had left the cobbler's. he resolved
not to return. They had not been
unfriendly, but he had seen at once
there was a difference. He was no
longer old Adelbert of the opera. He
was an old man only, and out Of work.
He spent hours that first free after
noon repairing his frayed linen and
his shabby uniform, with his wooden
leg stretched out before him and his
pipe clutched firmly in his teeth.
Then. freshly shaved and brushed, he
started on painful search after work.
With no result. And, indeed. he was
hopeless before he began. He was old
and infirm. There was little that he
had even the courage to apply for.
True. he had his small pensson. but
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1918-05-02

really needed no assistance whatever.
''You go up" said the crown prince
eagerly, turning to the countess. "Ill
hold your bag, SO you can climb"
He caught her handbag from her,
and instantly something snapped In 1t.
The countess was climbing up the lad
der. Rather dlsmayed, Prince Ferdi-
nand William Otto surveyed the bag.
Something had broken, he feared. And
in another moment he saw what 1t
was. The little watch which was set
I'm one side of It had slipped away,
leaving a round black hole. His heart
beat a trifie faster.
"rm awfully worried" he called up
to her, as he climbed. "Tm afraid I've
broken your bag. Something clicked.
and the watch is gone. 1t is not on
the ground"
1t was well for the countess that the
colonel was talking to Hedwig. Well
for her, too, that the other officers
were standing behind with their eyes
worshipfully on the princess. The
countess turned gray white.
Don't worry, highness." she said
with stiff lips. ''The watch falls back
sometimes. must have 1t repaired"
But long after the tour Of the ram.
parts was over, after ammunition
rooms had been visited. with their long
lines Of waiting shells, after the
switchboard which controlled the river
mines had been inspected and ex
planned, she was still trembling.
Prince Ferdinand william Otto
looking at the bag later on, saw the
watch in place and drew long breath
of relief.

"Oh, for Gods sake, hushi" cried
Pepy, and fell to knitting rapidly. Nor
could Bobby elicit anything further
from her. But that night, In his sleep,
he saw a crown prince, dressed in

He put his hand on my shoulder, like

his voice broke.

"what will they pray fort" he said.
And old Adelbert. with new bitter

needed much prayer. Sometimes they
were hard and did cruel things.
"And then the crown prince will be
