"May have lime to think 1t over, Mir Hattishurv o's aho aalred s1nxr1v

May have lime to think it over, MT. Hattisbury?" she asked slowly.
 He seemed puzzled as to what ne cessitated consideration. "Yes," he finally answered, "you may have a week."
 AS Helen returned to her desk Rod- ney looked up-and promptly down1 again. Helen was crying.
 In the next succeeding days she wasl grateful that he did not question her, But Rodney was preoccupied in hist own affairs.
 It was the afternoon of the fifth day.
 "Helen," Rodney called abruptly as he heard the last echoing footsteps of their employer down the hall, twill you marry mel"
 Helen's hand went to her forehead. Two proposals in one week for a woman who had reached her thirty eighth birthday without any. Rodney came over to her.
 "Listen, Helen. I've been thinking a great deal about what you told me that other day-about making some thing of myself. You're right. I've been in a rut."
 Helen showed her comptOmeter to one side. This was a new Rodney.
 "So I went and stuck the six hun dred I've saved up in the cutest little delicatessen you ever saw. It's got cans of stuff on the shelves and cheeses on the counter and cakes in the case and flour in the bin, and" he ran on excitedly without stopping for breath as Helen grasped his coat sleeve in the contagious enthusiasm, "there is good trade. It'll be slow plugging at first, lot and lots of work, but-but it's go.
 He leaned toward her with arms ex- tended. "An 1t needs-all need is a wife-that'll make everything com plete."
 Helen could not speak. Something was choking her.
 "I'll be good to you," he pleaded, taking her silence for refusal. "Tll do all the work. Honest I will. I just want you to encourage me. Won't you please? It means-oh, it means inde- pendencew
 Rodney stopped. Helen was crying again. He sat down on her desk and with one hand about her shoulder he patted her head, with the other.
 "Jiggers, the boss !" he called as the door opened.
 But they weren't in time. MT. Joseph 0. Hattisbury had seen. He brought one foot down after the other with ponderOus thud.
 Miss Bently," he snorted in high in- dignation, "after my talk, what does this mean? I cannot give you a week to decide. Choose now"
 Helen stopped crying and looked from her opinionated employer to Rod ney with his deep-set eyes still plead Ing his cause. The one held promise of comfort and of submission; the other, work-and independence.
 "Oh, I'll take chance" she said. "I choose the delicatessen."

DIDN'T KNOW CURLING IRON
Easy to Understand That Youthful Member of Chicago Jury Was Not
 Married Man.

Every man knows what a curling iron is, but does every man know whether or not curling iron is a deadly weapon?
 The question was raised in Judge Guerin's court in Chicago recently in the Otto Mathis murder trial. Otto said he stabbed his brother, Edward when Edward attacked him with curling iron, which he thought a dan gerous weapon. The judge ruled de scriptiOn of the implement was unnec- essary, as everybody knew what it was.
 'Sure, I know" one spectator whis- pered to another. "A curling iron is one of those hot things that burn your fingers when you are fumbling around among the things on your wife's dress ing table,"
 "It looks like pair of scissors with wooden handles" said the other.
 And it's deadly, too," woman whispered. "Mazie got hers too hot the other night and the way it killed a lot of her hair was a caution"
 Fortunately" another woman an- swered, 'the curling iron hath no mis- cries that peroxide cannot cure."
 Assistant States Attorney Daniel Ramsay insisted there might be single men on the jury. The judge glanced knowingly at the jurors. The young est looked bewildered. So Judge Guerin ordered description of the weapon supplied. The youngest juror Appeared relieved when he heard what xroc

No Part of Sponge Lost.

It Is curious thing in connection
 with spongeS that no part is ever lost :; no piece however small. but has some use. Spon"es will not burn. SO 'the clippings" are used in making "as- beStOs." Thus the sponge not only fights to save life in hospitals but it defends life against fire. The very smallest scraps not worth selling for asbestos are used in Nassau as a mulch for fruit trees. The great property of the sponge is to hold water and these scraps dumped around cocoanut and orange trees keep the roots moist even on the hottest summer days. In tropic lands where fruit iS one of the chief foods this sponge" mulch is very val uable indeed, especially at this time when the preservation and production of food is q problem engaging the pro found attention of the entire world.

Father of Chemistry.

The first great original investigator in the realm of modern chemistry, and the father of that science, was Dr. JO- seph Black, who was born of Scotch parentage in France in 172S, and died in Edinburgh 119 years ago. His work as scientific discovcrcr revOlutionized chemistry and disprOved scores of the Ories that were relics of the su- perstitious dark ages. By proving that gas not identical with atmospheric air was found in alkalieS, he made if plain that various dissimilar gases might exist and thus laid the founda- tiOn for pneumatic chemistry. He in troduced the name and theory of latent heat, and this discovery sug- gested to Watt, his pupil, his improve ments in the steam engine. After il long and useful life Black died while sitting at table, and so gently that he did not drop the glass of milk which he held at the moment in his hand, bu rested 1t upon his knee, and was, at first, thought to have fallen asleep. D"ctn Blacks original theories in spred many of the most wonderful and useful inventions of the last cen tury.

In Daddy's Heart.

At Sunday school Dorothy's teacher attempted to explain to the children about keeping their hearts clean and She urged them to think seriously about what they had in their hearts. Dorothy's hand went up. The teacher gave her permission to speak.
 My daddy has nutpicks in his heart"
 Now the teacher was sufficiently in terested in the psychology of the thing to go to the mother for the explana- tion. Dorothy had recently attended a wedding with her parents. When they were looking at the wedding pres ents her mother had laughingly turned to daddy and said:
 "John, l wish you would open up your heart and give me a handsome set of nutpicks like these."

NOT SATISFIED WITH FATE
Most of Us Have Some Kind of .
 Crouch as to How We Have Been Used.

As a rule we all hold a grouch against life, because of the one thing that we think should have happened to us and did not. This Is not new idea; 1t has been worked over and over, but, just the same, if we take the time to look little more des 8l into our hearts th2n # @ s| like to do we ar1 likely there certain Ee of resS 1l9e against life, or fate, or circumstances
 because some one outstanding things has not happened to us, something that we would have liked to have happened and which we believe would have contributed in large measure to our happiness. Of course, the some- thing that we have in mind differs with each individual; it may be a blessing that we just missed or something that we never had the least idea of obtain ing; it may have to do with our per sonal happiness or our personal sue cess it may have been the one thing necessary to round out beautiful life or it may have been the one thing that would have brought us disappointment, but whatever it was we know that we longed for it with all our heart and because it never happened to us, and never will happen to us as far as we
 can see, we continue to want 1t and to feel hurt and injured because we have not obtained it. We may not look
 upon such a condition as blessing in disguise because most of us prefer
 our blessings in plain view and be-
 yond all shadow of doubt or misunder-
 tanding.-Charleston News and COur-

 Dog Got the Rabbit.
 Exploration of caves in South Berk- shire, Conn.,, resulting in the discovery of stalactites and stalagmites, big white spiders weaving their webs, bats in- crusted in the crystals and a subma- rine brook, made Jack Newboy of Len oxdale recall the day that he went rabbit hunting in the Patterson woods. NewbOy's dog chased a rabbit into a cave. Jack waited outside for re- suits. He waited two hours, called the dog, and getting no results, went home. He found the dog was at home and had the rabbit. Pat, his brother, explained:
 "I was fishing on a lake not far from the shore when heard a commo- tion in the water near by and was sur prised to see rabbit in the water As I reached the spot the dog came to .he surface, swan after the rabbit and captured him."-New York World.

EOmaha Is Prosperous, Wipe
Ethe Smoke Off Your Glasses
land See Things Brighten Up
By WILLIAM TANQUERY
It may be admitted that Christian Science will not do
everything
That it will not wipe the gloom off the face of
CROUCH for instance
Or that it is not likely to win verdict against the
testimony of hungry stomach empty pocketbook
+ But little cheerful thinking some other kind of
mental camouflage will convince any normal shorthaired
man that the times not only getting better, but that
they actually have arrived.
That is, they present in Omaha, at any rate,
less the sightseer is wearing spectacles enthusiastically
distortonae to him to things don't exist
stroll down Farnam street at most any hour of a
sunny afternoon evening would the visitor
to stack his pile the proposition that half the money in
the u S. had been moved to this city and passed around
And everybody appears cheerful, as if they had
their share and while not particularly anxious toss
in the air which way the wind blowing STILL
the other hand they not in the frame of mind to
screech "help" and call policeman merely because an
oyster stew with rocqueort and coffee costs s1o5 with
IS worth of music on the side
And this brings us down to the point
If the rest of the country isn't like Omaha it would
do we'll to hurry up and get like it.
Omaha has advantages so particularly wonderful
as to give monopoly the prosperity of the country
and any city community that isn't doing as we'll is
simply missing opportunities that are within arms reach
at any point of the compass.
And on the other hand, if Omaha does possess these
Aladdnike properties of dragging prosperity and riches
out of the hole of despair then the of the country
would do we'll to pull up stakes and come out here 4
And that's another point
Omaha is getting along nicely and as a matter of II
fact there is little doubt but that the rest of the country
is getting along the same way 49,. .~:. y
There are labor troubles in some spots and the N
project of increasing production at essened cost still
remains unaccompished, but little bit of Christian Al
Science, looking at things the bright side would
soon reveal the silver lining, at least show way in
which to wipe off the obscuring SCOT. H
That is all that it is necessary for the whole country
to do, if the real truth could be made plain A
Get out of the dark alley of prejudice and hearsay
about the country going to ruin even you do have
to pay more out of the that you make remember
that it made bigger rattle while you had it anyway
Wipe the smoke off your glasses and see the world
brighten up.
