Win-the-War Wiq.

A wig to help to win the war has
been invented by an American cot
ton manufacturer. It is made of a
ibrous material in two coiors-green
and reddish brown.
1t fits down tight over the helmet
and, while the soldiers are sneaking
through the woodlands. blends into
The forest so splendidly and naturally
that 300 feet away nobody can tell
that company or regiment of SOL
diers is on the move.
Then when out of the woods and
back in the trenches all the soldier
must needs do is to take off his wig
and reverse it and he is topped with
reddish-brown top piece, invisible
against the earthwork of the trenches.

OLD BUGGY NOT so BAD

provement.

Speaking of old-faShioned things q
newspaper writer wants to know what
has become of the gallant youth who,
when he had stopped the horse. would
let down the top of the buggy in order
10 permit his sweetheart to alight
without difficulty?
! Well, we do not know what has be-
come of him, but we remember him.
Perhaps he is slumbering somewhere

gaudy lap robe wound about him
that lap robe with the big red rose

duSter, and the gallant youth prob
ably hangs on to it in his obscurity.
But speaking of buggy riding, the
automobile is no improvement over it
in the matter of real enjoyment. Not

it can be driven with one hand, or I'M
til 1t will wander along the road with
out driving at all, will it come in the
class of bliss which the buggy occu-
pied in the days gone by.
The girls are as sweet as they used
TO be-and the roads much better. The
moonlight is just as mellow, Love
flows in the same uncharted channel.
Youth is as hopeful-and as boastful.
Mothers are as anxious, fathers as i'm

when she was expected. Gossip is as

Adams Skull.

The myth of the existence of Adams
skull has its origin in the ancient ira
dition, according to which the first man
is buried at Golgotha, beneath the very
spot upon which later the cross of
Christ was erected. 1t is for the rea-
son that, in the presentations of the
CrucifiXiOn, painters and sculptors
were wont to place a skull at the foot
of the cross. The fact that skull
embedded in a natural rock could be
seen behind the iron gate Of the Church
of the Holy Cross at Jerusalem was
calculated to give credence to the ira
dition. 1t has, however, been discOy-
cred that the skull in question was ar
tificial, made of brass and painted over
with gray color to give it the appear
ance of Il natural skull

Honorary Army Promotion.

Brevet is a French word, meaning
commission or warrant. In military
usage it gives an officer higher NOM
inal rank than the one for which he
receives pay. 1t is an honorary pro-

the United States army was in 1872
when Capt. Zachary Taylor, who aft
erward became president, was made
major by brevet for his brave defense

Never Give Up,

No matter how old you are you
should never give up trying to better
your best. The spirit to give up is by
far a greater foe than years. When
you think right and aim to materialize
your thoughts it's wonderful what you
can do. So root out the craven ideas
Of life and keep your eyes turned
westward. Forget your years and

You lack in freshness you will make up
In good Judgment. What you need is
the attempt. Only when you make
the effort will you really learn what's
In you.-Pennsylvania Grit.

about it before-nor I guess anyone
else until they read it in the Leader.
As to him being so patriotic, I did not

he took his team out and drove for the
Red Cross. but he did not do so. He
said that he boosted potatoes at the
Red Cross sale at Edmore to $40, but
it was his only bid, and some seemed
to think that if he had thought that
he would have gotten them, that he
would not have bid, for it was the only
bid he. made that day. I know Mr..
Hammer very well and know that he
is a hard man to get along with, and
his neighbors can vouch for this state
