ASK ONLY FOR FAIR CHANCE
Crippled Soldiers Are Eager to Prove
They Have Los: None of Their
Good American Grit.

A West Virginia private soldier who
lost a leg in the war and now goes on
crutches was visiting the national
capital, and while inspecting the
Washington monument requested a po-
hceman to act as a witness for a
short time. The cripple then proceed
ed to climb to the top, 500 feet above
the ground and reached by 800 steps.
1t Is clear that this athlete was not In
Washington to claim a pension on the
ground Of physical disability. In fact,
he asks no more than fair chance to
show that he is fit to hold a job. and
is ready to prove 1t. In the main mill
tary hospital in Washington the pa
tients are publishing a paper called
the "Come Back" whose main pur-
pose is to promote the industrial well
faSs of crippled soldiers and sailors.
1t gathers information on useful work
for men who recover from amputa-
tions or serious wounds, and wants
to ascertain how much they will be
able to do, not how little, and to en-
courage ambitious efforts as far as
possible. Such endeavors, for one
thing, add to the happiness of those
who often are merely classed as I'M
fortunates. A crippled condition does
not necessarily mean a crippled life.

Death Brings JOY,

The reports from many parts of the
United States that some women of
an adventurous nature married sol
diers in the high hopes that the hus-
bands would be killed and that they
would collect the insurance money are
based on fact, 1t Is believed.
A young woman, well dressed went
to the post Office at Vancouver, Wash,
recently and received a letter. She
opened, read, and laughed loudly. A
man driving a machine in which she
rode downtown asked her what was
the good news. She astonished him
by replying that her husband had been
killed and she would get the $4,000
insurance.

Balkan Whiskers.

Prof. Give Day of Yale, who Is a
specialist on the Balkans, said in a
recent interview:
"There is a Balkan story In praise
of cleanliness. The scene is brig
and's camp.
"That prisoner there said brig
and, pointing his knife at a young
Turkish captive, he combs his whisk-
ers every morning.
''The other brigands listened in as.
tonishment and the captain said:
81 don't see how the fellow stands
it. Why, I only comb my whiskers
once a month, and then 1t nearly pulls
my chin off"

Sentry Box on His Farm.

Cook county farmer whose farm
Is not far from Chicago has built a
sentry house in the corner of his place
from which he can see what is going
on near any part of the farm. He oc-
cuples the upper room every night and,
aided by dog, knows when anyone
Is sneaking around the premises. The
lower part of the sentry house he uses
as workshop. A row of windows in
the upper part gives him wide view
of all the surrounding country. Except
for these precautionary measures, he
says, stragglers from the city would
steal him poor or by carelessness set
fire to the farm buildings.-Capper's

oriain of Famous DYES.

The famous blue and purple dyes of
the east, frequently mentioned in his
torys were in all probability extracted
from the Roccella lichen, which has
been extensively used in France in re-
cent years when gorgeous colors were
desired for silks. These dyes are Sc
cured by pulverizing the plant body,
termed the thallus, and extracting the
coloring matter by applying alkali.
Litmus, one of the lichen dyes, is wide
ly applied in the science of chemistry.

A Public Office a Public Trust

Caucus time is here The different gen
tlemen who the public in various Offices have not
been elected Tor life, and good many elections will be
taking place in November. Now is the time to decide
upon the candidates for these positions.
Ii is our custom to have two political parties called
Republican and Democrat each OF whic his organz-
alton designed to capture public Offices These parties
represent two different plans for the public welfare in
national affairs But in state county and city affairs they
merely represent two Crowds OF men each of which de-
sires to capture and hold public Offices Probably it is
unfortunate that draw the lines in and To-
cal affairs that draw in national affairs.
In local affairs the chief thing is to get good and
honorable men, and makes practically difference
whether they are Republicans Democrats in national
affairs.
The Caucus becomes a very important institution
although is not mentioned in national const
tutions At the Caucus the voters of each party
invited to meet and select their candidates. On election
day the voter has only his choice OF voting for
the who have been nominated by the two political
parties. II he wants to have good to vote for he

WATER, WATER |

We have hardly realized how dry
IL has been for the last few weeks,
but the effect on the College Water
Works is quite alarming.
We all remember our great Joy
when Doctor Pearsons gave $4,000
for the Water Works. Since that
time the College has expended
$4,000 more in getting additional
springs. Just now il has in hand
two expensive projects for increas-
ing the supply, One is the pur-
chase OF additional springs which
can be piped into the present sys-
tenn. and the other is the construc-
tion of great reservoir in the
mountains. but neither Of these
projects helps just now.
When the Water Works we're first
installed, and during three-fourths
Of the year still. the College has
more water than is needed for It's
own boarding halls, dormitories, and
power plant and il has been fur
nishing water 10 as many neigh
bors as desired IL and were within

College water, and that he fully
understood that the College does
not guarantee TO furnish water
when it does not have a surplus be-
yond the real needs OF its own
students.
Such an exigency has now ar
rived and the water is cut on
from outside parties except every
morning at half past six. when II Is

ing and cooking purposes.
In the meantime the College Is
saving water by discontinuing the
water closets in mems dormitories
and by every other means. Students
are instructed that they must wash
their hands and faces in o pintl
Some neighbors have forgotten the
great blessings and favor which
they have received in having water

and done unpleasant things.
