SURELY A WONDERFUL WORM
Remarkable intelligence Displayed by
Insect Owned by Col.
Harta Beetem.

II had a trained worm once" began
Col. Harta Beetem, refectively, &C
cording to the Detroit Free Press. 81
don't wonder that you chaps look sur
prised-as far as 1 know it's the only
case-ef trained worm on record.
Haw! Yawss!
81 was digging for bait on the far
bank of the Gauges and l noticed that
one of the worms had particularly
large head. Well, now, my favorite
motto is, Large head, something in it,
I started to educate the little devil,
and In two months he was the marvel
of the entire countryside. Rully!
Here's the way he would help me
fish: He'd wind his little tail around
the end of the hook and wave his body
about till swapping polite, or per-
hapS blue-nose Skad, would make q
dive for him. Quick as wink Slivers
that's what called him-would coil
himself up into q ball and roll out of
the fish's jaws just as they closed on
the hook. Clevah, what! Oh-ah-
and forgot to mention, whenever he
saw fish coming he would send
three little bubbles up to the surface
and put me on my guard. Then, after
I'd landed the fish Slivers would stick
his head out Of the water and wait for
the hook again.
"He died, finally, of some sort Of
cerebral trouble-brain fever, perhaps.
Cad! boys. l was sorry to lose that
worm! If any of you ever get over
that way just look up his little tomb
stone. It's right outside a little town
called Goodab-any of the natives'u
show you. Haw"

EDITORIAL MUSINGS.
Keep An Eve On EN-!

In these days of degeneracy and
lack of gallantry, every parent
should know the whereabouts of
their daughters after eight O'Clock
at night. Too many girls there are
who are permitted to roam the
streets at their own free will,
Though, of course, not in such
weather as at presently at almost
any time Of the night, and who ul-
timately have cause to regret it.
We're not a croaker, neither do we
believe in taking away the freedom,
in reasonable degree, from the
girls and boys, but we do believe
there should be fewer heartaches,
fewer broken homes and more pur-
ity and womanliness in the world
did every parent keep the children
on the streets at unseemly hours.
Says a father of a small family:
MY boys and girls do not leave the
house after eight o'clock unless
specially detained" We know of
others who have adopted that rule
years ago, and their sons and
daughters are a credit to them and
to the town and the community
There is nothing elevating in a
street education.

The Bows Bank Account.

There are several factors that are
responsible for the making of an in
dustrial and thrifty man out of an
active and wide-awake boy, and
one of the most important of these
is getting the boy to start bank
account of his own in his early
teens or before. Not only should
the lad be encouraged to put most
of the money he earns on deposit in
such an account, but it will help to
still further encourage him if the
fund is increased now and then by
those most interested in him.
The having and building of such
a bank account will not only make
a boy saving and thrifty, but he
will at the same time learn the val
ne of a dollar, while the incentive
he will have to add to the sum on
deposit will keep him from spending
foolishly the money he earns. Help
the active, restless boy to start a
bank account. 1t may make a man
of him.

The Old-Fashioned Fireplace.

We had the pleasure of visiting
recently at home where there was
an old-fashioned fireplace. And we
enjoyed it. There is something
about an old-fashioned fireplace
that takes a body by the hand
without waiting for an introduce
ton. 1t doen't keep a man waiting
out in the hall until his very nails
turn blue, and he signs a regret
that he didn't bring HIS ear muffs
along: but before he can tell how T.
is done il has made him feel right
at home, and is communing with
him like an old friend with whom
he hopes never to part again. 1t
puts him in the best chair. and is on
the way to the dining room for re-
freshments before he can get his
hat off,.
Aad Is he sits there in these days
of low gas pressure and the scarcity
of coal. rubbing his hands with an
artistic sort of feeling to which no

The Unspeakable Turk.

This expression came into general
use during the Bulgarian agitation Of
1875. on its appearance in a published
letter OF Carlyle's to George Howard,
M. p, dated November "a: 1.-THE un-
speakable Turk should be Immediately
struck out Of the question, and the
country left to honest European guild
ance." 1t was not the first time, how
ever, that Carlyle had made use of It.
In 1881, nearly fifty years before, in
THE Westminster Review" No. 20, In
an article on the "Nibelungen Lied"
ne makes mention of "that unspeak-
able Turk, King Machabol."

Popular Superst:tions.

To be born on the first day Of a new
moon means that the child will have a
happy life and be rich. A child born
on the second day will grow rapidly.
A short life is predicted for a child
born on the third or the sixth day. A
child born on the fifth day will be de-
ceitful and proud.
Birth on the seventh day means that
child born will live long. but have
many troubles. The ninth day prom
Uses that child born then shall have
riches and honors. A child born on
the tenth day will live long and be a
great traveller.
A birth on the eleventh day means
that the child will be healthy and
handsome, and If girl, remarkable
for wisdom. A child born on the
twelfth day of the moon will be dear

Watch His LAUGH.

The leopard cannot change his
spots. nor the Laughter his laugh. It
Is as characteristic as his nose or the
color Of his eyes. No polish or educa-
tional veneer can alter the laugh much
in quality and tone. although 1t may
soften it. Yet, even then, in an I'M
guarded moment the old laugh rings or
cackles, or explodes, and the show is
given away.
A man to be avoided, to be passed
by on the other side, is the man who
laughs without smiling. The man who
laughs like a mask or ventriloquists
puppet. His face wrinkles. He makes
a noise. But he is smileless as a
rooster when cackling. Take 1t from
me, that man is hard, relentless, cruel,
malignant.
