ALlk.

Alik was a trifle windy and con-
ceited; but this did not prevent him
from pursuading his employers that
he was partly responsible for re-
cent change in the method of con-
Quoting the business in his depart
ment, which resulted in economic ben
eft to the concern. His reward was
promotion which meant for him
moreS authority and responsibility.
Promotion in mans work enables
him to assume additional personal OBJ
legations. And, one of Alik's first
moves, after his good fortune, was
to make earnest and honorable adj
vances towards the cutest and natti-
est little girl who had just come to
town. And the cutest and nattiest
girl was just dee-lighted to encourage
the earnest and honorable advances
of a clever fellow who was making a
splash" !
When a fellow who is by nature
somewhat egotistic, suddenly learns
that he is clever, things in his men,
tai realm tend to congest and seek
expansion; and the subject usually
becomes a victim of the malady
known as "Swelled Head Never
very congenial, Alik was now unbear-
able.
One day not many months after
Alik's promotion number of his fell
low employees called on the Super
intendent and gave him the option
of erasing from the firms payroll
either their names or the name of
one, Alik Smith. The Superintendent
decided that Alik must go.
The clever; fellow registered sur.
prise, Indignation and protest, when
handed his discharge sheeG, and re-
minded those in hearing that there
were "other firms" in town who would
be glad to profit by his services. The
| other firm, for there was only one
of any consequence, knew of Alik';
cleverness, and soon learned of his
dismissal and the reason for it
When Alik called they did not jus
then have an opening for clever
1 fellow.
| Alik was next visible, and audible
as we'll, around the street corners ant
pool rooms, in the presence of rattle
unwilling listeners, deprecating thu
irony of fate which decreed that
man of his texture should begin lif
in such an antiquated, one hors
town; and he expressed his intentions
of setting out for parts more suitet
to his talents, The regrets and resC
lutions were renewed from day t.
day, but Alik made no practical NOV
towards leaving town.
The cutest girl, who was nov
Alik's wife, found the task of main
tanning home with a partner, VIII
was a liability instead of an asset t
said institution, rather difficult one
and after number of~futile entreat
les to her spouse to get on the wag
earners' list, she abandoned the pro
ect and went home to mother.
| Alik is now spare bartender an
regular bootblack at a place whic
was a favorite hang-out for him il
his palmy days. His regular occups
ton gives him an opportunity to re
late the story of his unrewarde
genius, while the patron wonders VIII
bootblack should think his trouble
of such interest to every person VIII
happens along.
Moral: Genius of the average kin
cannot bear handicap.

FOR THE MAN PAST FoRTY-EIvE.

The following instructions have
been issued to American men past.
military age:
Drink without eating, and eat with
out drinking.
Five glasses of water day, none
with meals, will make you free of the
doctors.
Warm feet and cool head need no
physician.
A bath, cold if you please, hot if
you must, with a good rub, starts the
day right.
Don't sit still with wet feet. Walk
until you have chance to change.
Never let a day pass without COW
ering four miles on foot.
See how high you can hold your
head and how deeply you can breathe
whenever you are out of doors.
When you rob the trolley company
of nickel by walking you add a
dime to your deposit of health.
You'll never get the govt from
walking.

THE JEWISH BOY AND THE NUN

The spirit of young America is well
illustrated in the following:
A Sister of st, Joseph, about to re-
turn a block or SO to her convent
looked around the street for a com
panion. A polite boy passing at the
time tipped his hat to her. The nun
smiled and Immediately called him to
escort her to her convent. Where
do you go to school, sonnfe?p she said,
smiling to the gallant youngster. !.
vi 7 go to the pubic school, was the
ready answer.

joining the Nile and the Red sea, ex-
listed at the time of Seti l, 1880 B. G..
This canal diverged from the Nile
near Bubastis. and was carried along
the fertile Wadi Tumilat to a port at
the head of the expanse of water
known today as the Bitter lake, now
forming part of the Suez canal route.
The channel of this canal is still trace
able in parts of the Wadi Tumilat.
Other canals connecting the Nile and
the Red sea were built in ancient
times.

WHERE THE OFFICE SEEKS THE
MAN.

The Russian family cannot be de-
prived of it's home and farm imple-
ments, and the village cannot be de-
prived of it's land by importunate
creditors. The heads of the houses
meet together in free council, and the
basis is Zone man, one vote" This
council-called the "skhod" the
general management of the whole
village, or mir" The matters with
which they have to deal are those
which most concern each individual
member. 1t can divide the cultivation
of the land among it's members, ad-
NIT new members, discipline its mem
bers, buy a fire-engine or modern
agricultural machinery, and look after
the relief of it's own poor. An elder,
called the "starosta," is elected, whose
duty it is to call and preside over
meetings.
Although the elder is entitled to
wear a bronze medal, which is at
tached to chain hung around his
neck, it does not bring any special
respect, and the small salary of a few
rubles does not compensate for the
trouble and annoyance. Hence the
elections create little excitement, as
all try to avoid the responsibility, and
the, holder of the Office is often the
least worthy member of the com
mune. The peasants plant their vii.
lagos in the lee of some swell in the
surface, or by the edge of stream
in which they can water their flocks
during the droughts which may come
The villages stretch down little val
| leys, seemingly for miles.

FLOAT IN SEAS OF OWN MAKING.

Up in the deserts of California, hun
dreds of feet above sea level, scores
of great ships float in little seas OF
their own making. These are the gold
dredges. The parts are hauled over
sage brush desert, and put together on
dry land. The navigable water begins
with dry pit, in which the hull is
assembled and calked. Water is
brought from some creek, then the
great steam shovel starts work, and
presently the dredge is digging away
into the soil with her chain of buck
cts, scooping it out to a depth of fifty
or sixty feet, and always increasing
the size of the lake in which she
floats.

could save money By Transporting the

coal underground instead of on the
surface; therefore the canal was con-
structed and the mines connected and
drained at the same time. Ordinary
canal boats are used, the power being
furnished by men. The tunnel arch
over the canal is provided with cross
pieces, and the men who do the pro-
pulsion lie on their backs on the loads
of coal and push with their feet
against the crossbars of the roof.
