THE EASY CURE.

NOU had a little hurt today,
L / know 1t by your face,
A hurt you hoped to hide away,
And yet it left q trace.
You tried to wear the usual smile,
Yet futilely you tried
That little trouble all the while
Was hurting you inside.
My, my, / wish that money, too,
Would earn the interest
That ordinary troubles do
We carry in our breast!
Inside ourselves deposited
They grow and grow and grow,
But not in gold-a load of lead
Is all we ever know.
Now, I've a simple little plan
I've used with little Ills,
I'm glad to tell to any man
Who's blue around the gills:
Just ask Yourself This little ache,
This trouble, anyhow,
Just how much difference will ii make
A year or 50 from now?"
What was it that you used TO want?
What was it made you ore?-
Your woes a year ago YOU can't
Remember any more!
The thought OF troubles YOU forgot
Will cut the new in half;
And then, I bet, as like as not
You will not smile-but laugh

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
JACK.

VIZ lille this name IS, OF
w course, the diminutlve OF
|, ,John-or, rather, the Anglicised
form of the French Jacques
|, it appears in English in a mum
Der Of ways which apparently
have no connection with the
name. Among these may be men
toned boOt-jack, iaCk-knife, lum-
ber-jack. blackjack, Union-jack
and jaCk-tar.
The reason for this usage Is
because the proper name or
nickname, Jack has for many
years past been applied In Eng
land to servants or laborers as
IA class. Jack is II handy and
easy name for Il waiter or a
caddy, or a groom, much rs many
Americans apply the name
George To amy negro porter. For
this reason, many appliances
which are subject 10 rough usage
or which perform the tasks OF
a laborer are known by the
prefix Jack" with a noun which
dcsiguateS the use to which they
are put. The expression Jack
of all trades" is another X
pmplitication of the same usage,
while the substitution of the
name Jack" for the "knave' in
Il pack of cards is an indication
Of the hard usage which this gen
tleman undergoeS at the hands
of the queen, king and ace.

WHAT A NAN READS.

- OMEONE has said that Charles T..
- Hughes, the secretary OF state, did
not read novels or verse while he was
at he university, and that he was so
absorbed In science as to miss all the
poetry and romance Of college life.
To diSproye this statement the H.
brarian Of the John Hay library at
the recent commencement OF Brown
university showed in a glass case the
very books that Mr.. Hughes had taken
out. They included the regular novel
lists that everybody is supposed TO
read, and such poets as Tennyson and
Longfellow.
Variety in reading is just as neces-
sary as variety In food.
Some good people did not under
stand this when they objected to nov
els on principle as frivilous and a
waste Of time.
A celebrated nan of science of the
latter part Of the Nineteenth century
used t. find himself losing interest in
his work every 10Y and then. When
this took place he would shut himself
up with a great supply Of dime novels
and read nothing else for a week. Then
he would 60 back TO his laboratory as
fresh as ever.
On the other hand, a certain French
novelist, whenever he found himself
In need Of a mental rest used to read
the Criminal Code.
Charles Darwin as he grew older
lost all interest in poetry, but found
recreation in novels with good lively
plots that held his attention.
one reason why detective stories are
SO popular with all sorts Of readers is
because they appeal to the love Of
mystery which is almost universal.
II has been said Of Poe that he
would have made a good detective he

a criminal mystery. The idea was
that he would have been able to take
criminal puzzles to pieces as we'll as

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Secretary
Weeks conferred today with General
Pershing and Major General Hartford,
chief and assistant chief of staff, re-
spectively, on the question of aban-
doning certain of the wartime army
encampments and other army stations
in the country.
The secretary said Some of the en-
campments would be sold
With the necessity of reducing the
army's personnel to 10000, it was
said, a number of forts would be aban-
doned and commands at others great
ly decreased. The secretary said there
were many forts and stations which
were not needed for the national de-
Tense and were practically worthless
from a military standpoint. These
will be abandoned.
No decision has as yet been reached
as to what posts viii be abandoned.

POLICE MAKE QUICK
WORK OF ROBBERS
Store Robbed at II O'clock and Al.
legged Burglars in Jail in
Eight Hours.

Capt. Mcclure, Acting Captain o.
Connell and officer Bowman made a
quick cleanup of the robbery at Nick
Vasso's store, which occurred between
1920 and II o'clock Thursday night,
by having three men charged with the
robbery in jail by o'clock yesterday
morning The men under arrest are
]. S. Wildly and J.. f. Hawkins, white,
and Isadore Hubbard, colored.
Vasso's store was robbed within a
few minutes after he closed UP Thurs
day night. The proprietor locked ais
dog in the store and went to call on
brother who is also a merchant.
Having a vague feeling that something
might be wrong he returned to mis-
store at about II o'clock and when a
short distance from it he was met by
his dog. He then knew for sure tnat
something was wrong and hurried to
the store at Davis and Wright-sts.
to discover the back door open and his
strong box missing.
Mr.. Vasso Immediately notified
Capt Mcclure who at once started 20
work on the case with the assistance
OF Capt. O'Connei and Officer Bow
man. The police knew a boy who
might be In on the robbery and this
youngster is said to have explained
that he had nothing to do with it but
that his suspicious had been aroused
by certain talk he had heard. The
negro, Hubbard, was next picked up
and he admitted hauling the stcong
box away in his automobile. He said
he was not TO split on the loot but
received a flat sum for doing the haul
ing. He finally showed the officers
where he had dumped the safe, about
so yards from the road between Car
penter's creek and Ferry Pass. The
box was discovered untampered with
and was deposited at the police sta
ton.
The officers next arrested Hawkins
and wildly who are switchmen at the
l.. & N. They were placed under $500
bond in the county court.
1t is supposed that the robbers ex-
pected to make big haul from Vas
SOS safe on the assumption thas yes
terday being l.. & N payday ne would
have a big sum in cash to be used in
cashing checks. The box contained
about $3.50 in American money, some
Greek money and all of Mr.. Vasso s
private papers. He said he did not
care so much about the actual money
as he did about his papers.
