TWO KINDS OF ADVENTURE
New Yorker Who Offered to Sell His
Lies Services Already Has
Had Takers.

Jack Hardy, former sailor, living
in New York, who advertised that he
was ready to sell his services for the
rest OF his life to the highest bidder
who had a career of useful adventure
to offer, has received two bids.
A woman Offered him $1,000 to be
her bodyguard on a trip to Egypt
"providing the trip was successful"
Jack doesn't think he'll take this, not
being certain what the woman regards
as successful trip to Egypt. The
other offer was from a man and his
wife who described themselves as the
wealthiest couple in Scranton, Pa,
wanted Jack to help hunt for their fif-
teen-year-old son with $4,000 and
adoption as the reward.
That is more promising, the young
man thinks, but he has reached no de-
cisi0n yet. He is twenty-five years
old. I'm not looking for soft berth"
he said. 1.-THE harder the job, the bet
ter I like it."

PAID HIM TO KEEP QUIET
Incident of Wall Street That We Pub
Iish Without Any Affidavit as
to It's Truth.

There was a man in Wall street, en-
ployed as thirty-second assistant cash.
Ter in a bank. It took the bank d.
rectors Immediately advanced him to
cashier, on the theory that his new
responsibilities would preclude his
conversing with outsiders on impor-
tant matters. But it didn't work.
The cashier was in a more favorable
position to relay important things to
the financial scribes. He was pro-
NOTED to vice presidency. He talked
louder and more frequently.
In desperation the bank directors
made him president Of the institution.
It worked wonders. He stopped talk
ing. Thereafter he spoke only through
prepared statements, and while they
were long and windy they revealed
nothing disturbing.-From Life.

Bio Job for One Hen,

An American agriculturist visiting
in England was telling tall tales Of big
broods of chickens. Twenty chickens
from twelve eggs appeared to be an
everyday occurrence in the States. If
the stories he told were true.
"Happen you never see so many as
a hundred Matched by one hen at a
setting?" asked a Suffolk man across
the table.
The American had never seen such
a brood as that. "Well, then, l have,
mister" returned the other. Down
Ipswich way we always fill barrel
with eggs and set the old hen on the
bunghole."

Orchid More Than Beautiful.

There are more than 1900 vari-

q basis for several forms Of sedatives,
and the extracts from one Of the most
beautiful varieties is used to cure one
Of the most ugly of human ailments,

Votes For Women

A vigorous campaign, with organized opposition,
has nearly secured constitutional amendment laying
upon the responsibility OF an equal share with
men in poliocs and government.
Few people have thought just how much this inn
plies Ii putting the ballot in the hands OF the I'M
educated negro OF the South and the Indifferent
women of the North there will be more voters than
ever who stay at home, and more who are brought
out by excitement and bribery.
1t means the breaking up OF the family which has
been the basal institution for human welfare thus lar
from the very dawn of history. The family has been
seat OF great tyranny and wrong in which women have
been the chief though by means the only sufferers.
But has also been the OF great happiness The
division of functions between man and woman seemed
founded on nature. She mnistered in the house. and
he furnished support and protection.

A VISIT To THE PUBLIC SCHOOL

DR.. William A. McKeever advised

be giving the people great concern.
More room is absolutely needed.
Some rooms have every seat taken
and other children are seeking TO

for chapel, they sat three in every
