An earnest inquirer for knowledge

An earnest inquirer for knowledge,
writing to the New York World, says:
ST wish I knew what the kaiser's idea
of God really is; and I say this in all
seriousness The kaiser never issues
a proclamation or delivers a speech
without dragging in God. To all ap-
pearanees. he has perfect confidence
that the Almighty sanctions all the
deeds of barbarism committed by Ger
mans. and exults with them when suf-
fering is inflicted on the babe in arms
the mother w'lo carries it, or the aged
and infirm. This calls to mind one
of the sayings of the late Col. Bob In.
Cersoll: "An honest God is the noblest
work of man"

PROMOTION.


Promotion comes to him who sticks
TTnta his work and never kicks,
Who watches neither clock nor sun
To tell him when his task is done.
Who tolls not by a stated chart
Defining to a jot his part,
But gladly does little more
Then he's remunerateu Tor.
The man in factory or In shop
Who rises quickly to the top
Is he who gives what can't be bought.
Intelligent and careful thought.
No one can say just when begins
The service that promotion wins.
Or when it ends; it's not de1lneo,
BY certain hours or any kind
OF system that has been devised.
Merit cannot be systemlzed.
1t is at work when it's at play,
1t serves each minute OF the day;
'Tis always at it's post, to see
New ways of help and use to be.
Merit from duty never sinks,
Its cardinal virtue is-it thinks!
Promotion comes to him who tries
Not solely for a selfish prize,
But day by day and year by year
Holds his employers interest dear.
who measures not by what he earns
The sum of labor he returns.
Nor counts his day of toiling thru
Till he's done all that he can do.
His strength is not of muscle Bred,
But of the heart and of the head.
The man who would the top attain,
Must demonstrate he has q brain.
Edgar A. Guest.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
going with young man for over two
years and I love him dearly. My
father and mother both think the
world of him, for he does everything
to please us.
About eight months ago l started
dancing and this fellow does not ap-
prove of it. He begged me to stop
and I kept promising him would,
but my friends kept on asking me to
dance. saying that he would start, too,
but he did not and we stopped going
together for about three months. Dur
ing that time I only saw him four
times I tried to forget, but I could
mott loved him too dearly. So l
wrote this boy and he answered the
letter. Then I told him if we could
be the same would give up dancing
We started back together and lie
was the same dear boy. but I went
back TO the dance hall and he knows
| it and he has started going out with
other girls, and that just kills me.
There is a fellow who works in the
same office with me who is good
friend this boy and he has asked
me why did what did and could
rot answer him. I have tried to ex-
plain the best I could. but I would
appreciate any advice you could give
me. love this boy and I want to be
| the same we once were. Please tel
me just what to do. I am willing tt
give up dancing If he won't dance. fol
| life is nothing to me-without him.
Will I do right by giving it up. as
! that is the only thing he disapproyes
of, and also tell me what I can do te
- - THANK you.
SSipce you love the boy SO much ycs
ought to be able to give up dancing
please him. Do not write to him OF
ask him to come back. When he see.
you ara no longer dancing he may un
Iderstand and will probably ask to 81

GLOBE SIGHTS
lFrom the Atchison Globe.J

There are more knockers in small
towns than in large cities.
Most complaining against town is
done by men who have failed.
= Every town has man who doesn't
amount to much, and likes to circu-
late petitions.
Don't be so interested In your own
success as not TO notice that your
neighbors are doing well.
We don't particularly care for the
man who specializes in seeking out
dirty outrages.'
The average politician is not SO bad
as his enemies say he is, but at that
he is. mona too good.
An Atchison man will not need a
steel helmet when he goes to war
Bullets would glance right off hi
head.

he forced the thought of pain from his
mind, for he was the sole remaining
sergeant of his platoon. His wound
was serious, and he had every right to
go to the rear for treatment. But
there was work to- be done, the great
attack to be carried on. And Sergeant
Martin did carry on, until at last re-
lief arrived and he could go to the
dressing station without creating a
void in his platoon. Then and only
then did Sergeant Martin of the
marines leave the front line. Such
was his spirit of bravery that he has
been recommended for suitable COM
mehdation. Sergeant Martin enlisted
in the marines May s, 1917. His
father is Peyton B. Martin, of Beau
