BRAINS MORE THAN CAPITAL
Ability Is More Important as a Foundation for Commercial Sue
 cess Than Great Wealth.

Commercial and financial circles in this and other cities, says the New York Times, are full of instances dem- onstrating that ability is a better and safer foundation for fortune than money, and though the latter is con- venient enough for use by the able man in making what is rather inaccu- rately called his start, it's lack entities him to no commiseration, and rarely delays more than briefly his advance ment toward the goal of his aspira- tion.
 The young man with capital not ac- cumulated by himself may or may not be success in business, but his money will not be the determining fac tor in his upward course, if he does proceed in that direction, while it is about as likely as not to help him move the other way, should he be without the capacities required for making money for himself. Nobody with both body and brain well trained can truly be called without capital, nor need the condition of penniless- ness trouble either himself or his friends. A thousand paths are open to him, and he will have pennies a-plenty, if not exactly as soon as he pleases, at least with no great delay.

NOW GETS NOURISH- :
 MENT FROM FOOD
Arkansas Man States That 0rga- tone Caused His Appetite to Return and Also Relieved
 Liver Troubles.

Among those to indorse OrgatOne re gently is c. T. Kaser, a Little Rock contractor and builder, who found speedy relief from stomach md liver troubles by the use of the triumph preparation. Mir. Kaser has this to say:
 1T was completely run down and very nervous, could not sleep for any length of time at night. I had no ap. petite and what I did eat did not seem to do me any good. I had been a suf ferer for some years with liver troubles which I think was the cause of me feeling so bad.
 'I had several friends recommend Orgatone to me and I decided to try a bottle. I was astonished at the re suits I obtained from the first bottle and before I had finished taking the second my appetite grew better and my nervous condition was greatly i'm proved. My sleep was more restful at night, and I was ready for my meals and enjoyed them, and they nourished me as they should"
 There is an Orgatone dealer in your town; if not the preparation will be sent prepaid to any address upon re ceipt of $1 per bottle or six bottlei for $5 by the distributors. Harry Kes singer Co., Joplin, Mo.-Adv.

eight o'clock that evening. There was great throng, and the professor felt somewhat nervous, as Ancient Pom- peii" was not a theme to interest the general public.
 And then, as he placed his lecture manuscript flat before him on the read ing desk, cold streak ran down his back. He gasped, he started A fear full mistake had been made! Before him was not the lecture he had select ed to deliver but 'Humors of the An cients." Miss Rose had given him the wrong screed!
 A coterie of august college officials filled the front rows of seats. Inward ly Tyndall groaned as he imagined the effect upon them of the humorous article, for he had not memorized the other, and there was nothing to do now but go on with it, or utterly collapse.
 He began. Twice he ventured to glance directly at his stern judges. His sense of dread frightened. He had just recited a famous Roman joke, full of wit and point. The whole row of col lege officials were smiling, one actual ly grinned, another chuckled audibly.
 And then a bit of fun that was com- prehendible to the most ignorant, brought an appreciative "haw haw~ from a group of students, and the en- tire audience joined in applause. In

What the Girl Said.

Being in charge of the complaint de- partment at the local postoffice, I had a rather amusing incident occur a few days ago. The blank used in filing a complaint required answers to about a dozen questions, as. for example, date of mailing, contents, nature of com plaint, as loss, damage or rifling. A young lady came to the window and explained that she was to receive a parcel containing medicine from an out-of-town doctor, and same was long overdue, according to advices regard ing shipment received from the doctor. So I proceeded to have her answer the several questions on the blank mentioned. When I read the ques- tions, nature of complaint, she replied, "Stomach trouble. e."-Chicago Herald.

Shark Fishing an industry.

Shark fishing has evolved from a sport to an organized industry in the Pacific waters off the southwestern coast. The skin of various species of the fish when tanned forms tough durable leather that is in considerable demand, and the oil that is extracted from the carcass likewise has commer- cial value. Of late a Japanese syndi- cate has undertaken the exploitation of this long-neglected field and, as re- suit. large numbers of sharks are being captured. The mottled skins of the tiger sharks are being made into slip pers, beIts,' gloves and other articles, while those of the great blue and bask- ing sharks, which are especially thick and strong, are used for purposes that demand long-lived material.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

effect, the lecture was a grand sue cess. There were congratulations on every side, and Professor Tyndall, be- fore he left, was booked for three more lectures during the season.
 And a few days after his return to the city there came to him other de- mands for his oratorical service, for the fame of his daring innovation and it's success had spread, and one lyceum bureau offered special contract terms for a year.
 "Were you aware" spoke the pro- lessor the first time he called upon the pretty typist, that you gave me the wrong manuscript when I last saw you?"
 "Oh, never" fairly gasped Lettie
 He told her all She shivered at her mistake, she bubbled over with joy at the happy outcome, and when Profess sor Tyndall started forth on his new and successful lighter lecture vein" he had his wife for company.

MONEY TO WIN WAR
How Americans Can Defeat
 Blood -Crazed Kaiser.
Small Contributions From All Who Love Liberty and Appreciate Its Blessings Will Save World
 From Grave Danger.

Many are familiar with the fable that appeared in the old school readers about the king who offered a fortune and the hand of his daughter to the man who could tell him a story that would last forever in the telling, with the stipulation, however, that, in case the story came to an end, the person who failed to complete it was to lose his head by the sword.
 A number of adventurous spirits lost their heads in the attempt to keep serial going forever to amuse the ec- centric monarch, but one young man finally won the fortune and the daugh- ter by wearing out the very soul of the king with the story about the locusts carrying off the corn And then an- other locust came and carried off an other grain of corn" etc, etc, until the king decided he had had enough of the story
 America-in fact, the whole world, is dealing with an "eccentric" monarch today. This monarch wants the impos- sible, and everyone who refuses to give 1t to him must lose his head. There is one way to deliver the peoples of the world from this menace
 Kaiser Wilhelm can be worn out, if he cannot be crushed by one tremen- dous blow. And the government at Washington has pointed out the way.
 Money will defeat the kaiser. Small savings, like the locusts, coming along from 110000,000 American citizens, will wear out the soul of the war-mad monarch. American money can wear out any army in the world, because there is great deal of American money and there are many Americans who have it. Just mere matter of quarter a day from every wage earner in the United States would mean bil- lions of dollars every year to buy guns and food for soldiers, and ships to carry them across the Atlantic to de- feat the sinister purposes of the kaiser and his crew.
 A quarter, like the grain of corn, is not much in itself, but millions of quar- ters every day mean victory for right eousness and humanity.

kinos, Tombs In Jerusalem.

The tombs of the kings are beneath the actual level of the city of Jerusa. lem. The exact location is not known We know from inscriptions and Scrip tural texts that Solomon, David and the succeeding kings were buried with pomp in venerated place and certain documents even tell us that histories of their lives were placed in their tombs. The tomb of David which as late as the beginning of the Christian era could still be distinctly seen, is very likely beneath the mosque that bears its name and rises in Zion, the City of David, which is the southern half of modern Jerusalem.

Early Egyptian Wills.

Precious little is known about the manner of settlement of disputes pos sible to arise from disagreements con- nected with the execution of wills at the earliest, date in Egyptian history, That there were law courts, disputants and judges Is beyond doubt, although exact pictures of law courts are ex. ceedingly difficult to imagine. Since wills were perhaps common only among the most wealthy nobles, there would be little reason to believe that trials which might result from them did not sometimes take place in the kings court.

SAFE FOR Drinking

Kraemer. In speaking Of the outbreak
here DR.. Kraemer said: 1.-The outbreak,
in my opinion, is nothing more than
form Of grip. This year it seems
TO have taken the form Of stomach
trouble, and while it has caused some
suffering j do not consider It at all
alarming. ! do not think the drinking
water has any bearing on the case at
all, as the epidemic is not confined to
any one locality.
Chlorine in very small quantities has
been used for nine years in the city
water and has not caused trouble Of
this kind. Some people in the city
think the dumping OF excess chlorine
or other chemicals in the creek above
the pumping station by manufacturing
companies has at times affected the
water, but there is nothing to show
an excess OF chlorine in the water at
the present time.
The financial statement OF the Water
department was as follows: Current
bank balance. si72ij19; special bank
balance, si7,76s. 80; current weekly pay
