more in close reserve.

Not Politicians

There is one characteristic in common which
sticks out all the three city candidates that
have received the endorsement of The Times.
That is they are NOT politicians. c. M. Rddell
has been city attorney, but never held an appoint
i've office Fred Shoemaker to be has been con-
troller, but that was his first term, and he dis
played nerve enough to resign in the middle OF it
when he felt that his best service could be rem
dered elsewhere decidedly unpoliticianly pro-
ceeding. H. Roy Harrison, the labor candidate for
councilman is making his first plunge in politics.
The Times has no grudge against politicians as
such. There are some very able men who are max
ing profession of serving the public, and we pray
their number may increase. But there are others
who have made the term politics synonym for
well, you know what.
The three men named above will be none the less
efficient public servants for their lack Of profess
sional political experience; they probably will be
much freer and independent in their administration

If you are going to hatch your

table scraps are fine with a little
corn and such green stuff as
sprouted grains or cabbage or let
tuce scraps from the table-and
water.
The hen will come off her nest
when she wants food or water and
to exercise.
Don't allow children to worry
her by going to the nest often and
keep prowling dogs away.
Make the nest in barrel or
box, first sprinkling fine ashes on
the floor and thru the lower layer
of straw or hay.
That kills the chicken lice
which otherwise may annoy the
hen SO much that she will become
restless and break some of the
eggs.

Dear Miss Grey: enjoy your
section of the paper very much,
and have looked upon the sug-
gestions how to handle a hus-
band with much interest.
Recently Miss Jane Burr OF
Chicago made the following sug-
gestions IN regard to how to
handle hubby" before the Ma
tional Woman's party:
"If your husbands meals in
terfere with your club dates,
connect an alarm clock with the
roast beef feeder. Hang the
feeder around his neck. Then
at the proper time the clock
will start the feeder, just like 1t
does a bomb, and friend hus-
band will get his roast beef.
The same idea might be applied
to feeding the baby"
Can you beat 1t, Miss Grey?
I think any man who Is wor-
thy the name Of husband should
be treated along the lines as
spoken by the immortal Kath-
erina in the Tanning of the
Shrew"-as follows:
Fie, fie! unknit that threaten
ing unkind brow,
And dart not scornful glances
from those eyes,
To wound thy lord, thy kind.
thy governor:
1t blots thy beauty as frosts do
bite the meads,
Confounds thy fame as whirl.
winds shake fair buds,
And in no sense is meet or anita
BILE.
A woman mov'd like a fountain
troubled,
Muddy, discerning, thick, bereft
of beauty;
And while 1t is so, none so dry
or thirsty,
Will deign to sip or touch one
drop of 1t.
Thy husband is thy lord, thy
life, thy keeper,
Thy head, thy sovereign; on
that cares for thee,
AS for thy maintenance COM
mits his body
To painful labor both by sea an,
land,
To watch the night in storms,
the day in cold,
While thou Hest warm at home,
secure and safe;
And Graves no other tribute at
thy hands,
But love, fair looks, and true
obedience;
Too little payment for so great
a debt.
Such duty as the subject owes
the prince,
Even such a woman oweth to
her husband.

M-THE THINGS TOM SAWYER DID
Tom Sawyer lied SO many lies
You'd think he couldn't talk without em,
And pa laughs till he almost cries
When Mark Twain tells about 'em.
But once lied ono little speck
And pa just landed on my neck
And shook and shook and shook
l wonder why a Mark Twain lie
Amt good outside the book.
Tom Sawyer ran away a week
And set his poor Aunt Polly crazy,
And ma reads that and dabs her cheek
And sVys that funeral scenes daisy.
But stayed out till twelve one night
And say! what pa did was fright,
And ma most threw q fit,
l wish Mark Twain would please explain
How Tom made such hit,
For when try 1t for one night
Altho it makes a scene all right,
1t hurts me quite bit.
Tom Sawyer got in fights lot,
Because he overworked his jaw,
And pa, he reads of how he fought
And shows the page to ma
And they both laughed. But IL fight.
l got to show I'm Gin the right"
Or catch a second dose that night
Doggone it! I cant see
II its 30 bright in Tom to fight
Why amt it cute in me?
Tom Sawyer did lot of things
Pa never dared to do, bet,
But pa says Mark Twain Just wrote rings
Round any other author yet
Well, when I'm old and have wife,
And family too, you bet your life
III watch my little kid;
I'll lick him blue IL he should do
The things Tom Sawyer did!

Your Personality

You've got something that's all your own
YOUR PERSONALITY. You influence others
thru this peculiar power of yours but it always re.
mains your own. Indeed in the very exercise OF
this power you strengthen and more firmly fix it.
So true has this been in the lives of men, that the
mere mentioning of the names of well-known indi-
viduals suggest certain peculiar characteristics.
Caesar Napoleon, Gladstone, Lincoln, Grant, re-
mind us not so much of what they did as of what
they were.
Therefore, what man is, is of more Importance
than what he has accomplished. 1t is this by which
he will be longest remembered. CONDUCT is i'm
portant, but CHARACTER is more important.
We cannot get away from this great fact-that
every man stands absolutely alone, just as tho he
were the only man in all the world. While we may
somtimes think EN- masse, and work in multitudes,
and pray by regiments, and sing in battalions, and
trade by corporations, nevertheless there are
times when the individual stands out alone and
when his selfhood asserts its existence.
THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD rs
"A MAN. Not crowd Of men, but just man.
Made in the image of God with His Attributes with
His Spirit breathed life and power, that man may
gaze at the mountains and feel that he is greater
than they. He may look out upon the seas and say:
81 am your master.''
