 Ask man.
 Junk Well. I don't know better way to define the word than to give an example. My wife has chests and bu- r-aau drawers filled with table cloths and remnants of calico, lace and all that sort of stuff which she never uses. That's junk. She has all her old hats in that box on top of the closet shelf. That's junk We are only two in fam fly, but she has enough dishes to serve 20 people and enough pots and pans to cook for 40. That's junk. Oh, should say offhand that junk is the accumula- ton of things around house for which a woman has no immediate use and may never use. That's a pretty good definition of the word. Ask any man. He'll tell you the same"

HEROES IN WORLD WAR TO FIGHT
On Circus Grounds for Worthy Cause

Suppose you heard the awful noise
last night.
1t sounded like all of West Washing
ton street was being bombarded, and
that is about the truth of the matter
Last night the boys of the First d.
vision, who are here to stage a big mill
tary circus for three days, beginning this
afternoon, tested out their guns, tanks
and other implements of war on the cir
Gus grounds on West Washington street.
The main feature of the circus is prob
ably a big sham battle which is staged
by real soldiers, tanks, guns and the
like.
| have seen many attempts to stage
a sham battle but the conflict staged last
night in order to give newspaper men a
taste" OF what the circus was like. is
the most realistic thing the writer has
ever seen.
1t is not only realistically staged, but
every man participating in this stage
battle actually took part in the great
fight over there.
Signals were flashed in the air, guns
opened up, more signals were given and
then the big tanks through a smoke
No Mans Land.
The big tanks crept on and on, the
enemy" sneaked out of their trenches
as the victorious Yanks came up back
Of the tanks
This battle" is the real thing, and
as you witness this spectacle the horror
OF war and the glory of the American
army is more fully appreciated.
The sham battle is one of the many
features of this military circus, as hun.
Greds Of soldiers take part in drills, cir
Gus stunts and then there is an exhibit
ton of war trophies included In the
regular performance.
To mako the engagement OF the MILL
tary circus a success it win be neces-
sary for every one in the city to turn
oct and see IT,
I am sure that you will get 100 cents
worth Of entertainment on the dollar,
and when 1t comes to real enjoyment
the First division circus has Ringling's
backed or the map.
The sham battle is as realistic as one
would want and gives one a splendid
idea Of modern warfare.
Those who saw the sham battle last
night are enthusiastic over it.
Every soldier with the circus has
been across, 1 am told, and every one
has done his actual bit
So get in swing to the step Of the

limped over to the window. Below, on

I crossed the room and laid my hand
on his shoulder-llghtly, so that he need
give no sign of knowing It was there in

But Jim lifted his hand and laid 1t

SHORTHAND HISTORY.

O. How long has shorthand been
known7 G. L.
A. From references made to skilled
writer's in ancient literature, the infer
ence is drawn that shorthand was known
long before the Christian era. The first
authentic knowledge of the art dates to
the first century before Christ. The
pioneer of Roman shorthand was Marcus
Fullius Trio, secretary and librarian to
Cicero. who devised a system which was
little more than a list of authorizations.
Later 1t was improved to such an ex-
tent that reporters of the time could
keep pace with the speakers by writing
I'm relays. The system of the Latins
fell into dsuse between the fifth and
ninth centuries, and modern stenography
dates from 1888.
