The practice of doing out money TO
the children by dribbles. when they
tease for it. and without holding them
to any responsibility in the matter of
spending it, is undoubtedly responsible
Tor most of the prevalent unthrift
among our young people. 1t is quite
natural that this childish attitude to-
ward money should continue even into
the period when the young person be-

"ANTlQUES" FROM NEW YORK
| Example of How the Tourist Is Vic
timized When He Makes Pur-
chases in Foreign Cities.

Some years before the war resi-
dent of New York voyaged to Venice.
Among his fellow passengers at sea
was a travelling salesman. whom he
GOT to know quite well. What the
New York man liked about the sales
man was that he did not "talk shop"
He had not even told his steamship
acquaintance what manner of goods
he handled.
The day after they arrived in Venice
the salesman went out on business, his
steamship companion sightseeing.
Among other places the latter visited
was a fascinating antiquarian shop.
Prices were steep, but what of that?
He wanted something to take back
TO show "the folks at home" that he
had really been in Venice. Finally he
settled on a bit of Venetian glass,
square of gold-embroidered venetian
cut velvet in a furnished gilt frame,
and a silver-handled dagger engraved
with the arms of one of the doges. In
the evening at the hotel he displayed
them. not without a feeling of pride,
to the travelling salesman
MY friend" said the latter, you've
been very decent TO me, and now I'll
do YOU a good turn. Say, but your

I'm over here selling 'em. I'll take

LEAF SPOT HARMS LEGUMES
Fungus Which Causes Disease Lives
Over Winter on Dead Leaves
Two Characteristics.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Common alfalfa leaf-spot and red
clover leaf-spot are similar in appear
ance but are caused by two distinct
fungi, says a specialist Of the United
States department Of agriculture who
has published the results of studies of
alfalfa and clover leaf-spots in Bulle
tin 759.
The fungus which causes alfalfa
leaf-spot lives over winter on dead
leaves which escape decay. There are
two characteristics of leaf-spot caused
by this particular fungus which usual
ly serve to distinguish 1t from spots
caused by other fungi. One is the cir
cular shape and small size of the spots,
and the other is a small raised disk
ir the center of the fully developed
spot.
The disease is one of the most Sc
rious and widely known of those which
attack the foliage of alfalfa. 1t causes
greatest loss during wet weather. and
cases have been reported where 1t has
destroyed half of the alfalfa crop.
Little is known of the method by
which fields become infested. Efforts
TO exclude the disease from alfalfa
fields in localities remote from other
alfalfa by the surface sterilization Of
the seed have given no success. Evil
IDENTIFY. in these experiments at least,
the department pathologist says the
fungus was not carried on the surface
of the seed-prebably not with the
seed at all. The source of infestation
in such fields still furnishes an inter
esting problem.

"Old King Cole"

The first reference to cold King
Cole" the merry old soul' of the IA
nous nursery rhyme, was made In a
book written by DR.. William King, who
was born in 1888. 1t Is probable that
the song was composed in the seven
teenth century, although some investi-
gators think it much older. Halliwell
identifies the merry monarch with
Cole or Coel, a semi-mythical king of
Britain who is supposed to have
reigned in the third century. The Scots
also have an "Old King Coul," said
to have lived in the fifth century.
Freeman and other historians say a
King Cole ruled Britain In the sixth
century. There are many who assert
that the reference to the pipe indicates
that Old King Cole lived at period
after Raleigh had introduced tobacco
into Europe, but this does not neces-
sarily follow, as a pipe might mean a
musical instrument

SiIiv Idea RehIIked

The late Count de Lesseps never
seemed to lose sight of the educa-
ton of his children, even in the
smallest detail, One morning at
breakfast a beautiful Dresden tea
cup was broken.
"Ah!" cried the countess, "a disas-
ter! Two more of that set will now
be broken. 1t always happens So"
"Are you so superstitious." asked
the count, "as really to believe that
two more will be broken?"
81 know It."
"Then let us get it off our minds"
And taking two of the cups by the
handles he dashed them together.
The anger and dismay of the count
ess proved conclusively that she had
not seriously believed the superstition.
1t also loosed any hold the absurd idea
may have had on the minds of the
children.

EPIGRAM is NOT GREELEYS
Great Editor Long Wrongly Credited
With Advice, go West, Young
Man, Go West"

The famous epigram go West,
attributed to the pen of Horace Gree
ley, was not written first by that ven
cradle editor of the New York Tr-
bune, but by John L. B. Soule. editor
of the Terre Haute Express. In 1851
Richard Thompson, afterward secre-
tary of the navy, urged Soule to 81
west and grow up with the country.
and praised the editors talents as Il
writer. He wagered a barrel of flour
that Soule. could write an article thar
would be attributed to Horace Gree
ley.
The result of the suggestion was
a column editorial about the Vests
opportunities for young men. 1t de-
clared that Horace Greeley could new
er have given a young man better adj
vice than contained in the words, Go
West, young man." Although stated
merely as Soule thought Greeley
might have put it, newspapers all
over the country began to credit Gree
ley with the epigram. So widespread
did the quotation become that Gree
ley's paper reprinted the editorial
from the Express, with the following
footnote:
''The expression of this sentiment
has been attributed to the editor of
the Tribune enormously. But so fully
does he concur in the advice Il gives
that he indorses most heartily the
epigrammatic advice of the Terre
Haute Express. and Joins in saying,
Go West, young man. 90 West
