"SPoONFULS," ETC.

TN CONSIDERING the proper form
Of the plurals of such words as
Spoonful" 'cupful," armful," etc.,
it must be borne in mind that the unit
considered is not the spoon, the arm,
the cup, etc.,; but the material that
fills the spoon, etc. Thus, the unit is
the spoonful, not the spoon, and as
"spoonful' is the name of thing in
itself, the proper form of the plural is
found by adding an IS" to the word
spoonful" and not to the part of the
word spoon
Of course, there are times when the
unit is the spoon itself; that is, when
two or more spoons are filled. When,
for example, you have before you two
spoons filled with sugar, you should
say "two spoons FULL and not two
spoonfuls. But when you take a:
spoon, fill it with sugar and empty it
into your coffee cup, and repeat the
process, you. have taken two: spoon
fuls" Of sugar, and not two spoons

OF the hundred or so young women
who are graduated from Radcliffe COL
lege practically all have chosen their
future work, says the Philadelphia In
quirer. Their tastes are various, but
about a third of them intend to teach.
Plainly the new woman is not alto
gether Indifferent from the old. -Four,
it is worth noting, are preparing for
early marriage" Perhaps others who
do not admit it have the same pur-
pose. There has been much discussion
as to the effect Of a college education
upon matrimony, but it has never been
shown it is discOuraging.

People should really be more care
full about their old books. There was
that manuscript Of Oscar Wilde's, at
tracing everybody's attention by the
announcement, a few weeks ago, of it's
long delayed discovery, just where
somebody had thrust it years ago. N
the drawer Of an old desk. And now
here is this account of Seattle man
finding a certificate for some 60 or 70
shares Of bank stock between the
pages of a faded old copy of Spen-
ser's "Faerie Queene." Perhaps it is
only natural that finders Of such doc
uments should expect to profit by
their discoveries. But when will peO-
pie give over thrusting valuable pa
pers into out-of-the-Way places? Per-
haps not soon. In the meantime, what
a stimulus is afforded for the reading
Of the old standard books!

= THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS :
DO YOU WANT SUCCESS?

no YOU want to make a success Of
i your business life, or do you put
that second to having a good
time? Don't complain if you can't
have both. The girl who runs around
from party to party is not going to get
to her work in the best state for doing
it WELL Her mind is not clear, her body
is not alert She is tired.
:. Are you willing to do the uninterest-
, ing part of your job well, or do you
slur what you don't like in it? Every
job has it's grind side. But to succeed
, you must make that grind worth while
by doing it we'll. 1t is part of the price
you pay for success.
You must keep in good physical, con-
dition if you want success. You need
proper rest, enough sleep and healthful
food. You need exercise in the open
air. Keeping fit is part Of the price
you must pay for success.
, A number Of girls regard an office as
sort of matrimonial bureau. Their
; first idea is to be fascinating to the
male element. But if that is what you
are AFTER: don't say you want success
in your business, and don't be sur
prised if you see other girls who do
want success get advancement while
you stay put.
/ Success is big thing. The success
! full woman is not afraid of losing her
lob. She knows that her work is so
good that an employer will be lucky
to get her, or that, if she is in bust
! ness for herself, she is sure of results.
But success is not an accident. f

RED PLOTS IN LATIN AMERICA

RED PLOTS IN LATIN AMERICA.
A correspondent of Independence
Beige describes in series Of letters to
that journal the ramifcations of what
he characterizes a bolshevist plot COW

ries Of bomb outrages, revolutionary
strikes and similar occurrences in Ar

attributes to a conspiracy having it's
center probably in Buenos Aires. Sc
rious strikes, as we'll as agrarian dis
orders in Argentina, with repercus-
sions In Paraguay and in Brazil, defy
the efforts of the government to re-

communist propaganda libraries have
been established in Mexico with books

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"GUILLOTlNE."

4 CCORDING to history as it
"A is popularity accepted, the
instrument by which criminals
are automatically beheaded was
invented by Joseph Ignace Gull
lotine, who was also the first vic
tim Of the ma chine. Outside of
the fact that Doctor Guillotine
neither invented the apparatus
nor persisted by it, the general
impression Of the matter is fair
i ly correct.
The original model for the
guillotine was constructed by a
German piano-maker named
Schmitt, under the direction Of
Doctor Louis, French surgeon,
who in turn obtained his idea
from the manaja, a somewhat
similar instrument which had
been used in the Latin countries
for centuries. At first, the in
fClltIOu "dS AAONH 'tlo t1lC
"Louison," but, owing to the fact
that Doctor Guillotine waged
ceaseless warfare upon the bar
barities of the rack and the
wheel and continually urged the
adoption Of this more humane
method of inflicting death penal
ty, his name was indelibly as
ISOLATED with it. On March 25,
1892, the national assembly
passed the resolution recon-
mending the use of the machine
in all French prisons and it was
publicly used a month later in
the beheading of prisoner
named Pelissier.
Far from perishing by the in
vention, which, despite his pro-
tests, was called by his name,
Doctor Guillotine died in his
bed in 1814-having achieved a
vicarious fame which he did not
desire and to which he was not
entitled.

WHY NOT TELL HER so?

WHY NOT TELL HER so?
~ COURSE you love her just the

AS when at first you wed,
Perhaps with not SO hot a flame,
But still the Goals are red.
The new-made blaze is bright with
And ruddy with desire;
But time shall give you something
Peace, and the quiet fire.
Of course you love her as of old,
Your love she ought to know.
New loves burn hot, new loves turn
cold
With all the winds that blow.
But time shall bring the steady blaze,
The fame that never died;
YEA time shall bring contented days,
The quiet ingleside.
Of course you love her as of yore-
The years that you have shared
Have made you love her even more
Than ever you have cared.
Of course you love her just the same,
Your love she ought to know,
For time has brought the steady
But why not tell her so?

DAILY NOVELETTE,
A New Tax.

An eager looking little fellow
stepped lightly into the office.
Are you the tax collector" he
inquired.
Il am" answered that individual
shortly.
"Well, my name is Louis McNutt
They call me Loose McNutt for
short-it's a pet name" he went
on. II have a new idea for "a new
tax that's wonderful.
'Humph," grunted Grabbum Err
ley, becoming attentive at once.
We've taxed everything that's
mentioned in the dictionary now:
What is this new tax ffours?"
"Ah, that's just it," continued
Loose Mutt. II can't tell you until
you promise me $4,000 cash for
the idea and 80 per cent royalty
on every tax. And"
Just then the door flew open and
two men rather breathless dashed
into the room.
"Ah. we've got him in time"
they said, and each took hold of
one Of Loose Nuts arms.
This is Louis McNutt," explained
one of the keepers. He was a
story writer and went dippy trying
to- make out his income tax ali By
himself last year. He's got taxes
on the BRAIN al
Grabbum Erley was about to
help them all out the door a little
sooner, when the keeper held up
warning hand.
STOP" he said, don't be rash.
Better let him tell you what his
idea is, or he'll bust up the placer
We'll. what is your idea?" asked
Grabbum Erley, softly. Loose Mutt
became all smiles again.
Don't you promise me the royal
ties, too? he asked cautiously.
Sure thing, go ahead" assured
Grabbum Erley.
Then I'll tell you what 1t is"
And he whispered 1t in Erley's ear
Provide a small brass dog
license tag for each hot-dog sand
wich. There are millions used
daily Make the license 3 cents
apiece. Now mind and send me my
royalties"

ley. heartily and wiped his brow

Monday, October 81. 1891.

Monday october ii. 1871.
Astrologers read this as an ex-
ceedingly uncertain day. While
Mercury, Venus and the Sun are in
benefic aspect, Mars, Neptune and
Saturn are adverse.
Under this planetary rule the
mind is likely to be disturbed and
unsettled. The exercise of will
power should be unremitting and
mental poise should be cultivated
at all hazards.
This should be a favorable direc-
tion of the stars for all sorts of
publicity and increase of advertis-
ing is indicated.
Theaters should benefit greatly
from this posting of the stars
which indicates better opportuni-
ties for actresses and fame for new
Corners on the stage.
Concerts, parties and all assem-
blies at which there is appeal to
the lighter side of life are well d.
rected today.
Weddings are subject to the best
planetary influences. although the
stars promise material rather than
spiritual well-being.
Those who seek employment
should be successful during this
rule of the stars. which is particu-
larly fortunate for women.
Politicians and all who desire ap-
pointments dependent on the favor
Of persons In power should find this
day a most suspicious one.
The new Moon governing the
month Of November Is conjoined
with Mercury close to the cusp of
the fourth house and is believed to
have a disturbing Influence on the
public mind.
Mars in the second house is read
as menacing to the public purse and
indicative of reduction in revenues.
Waste and extravaganza in the
use Of the peoples money are fore
cast and reforms will be demanded
in many cities.
Chicago and New York are sub
ject to rule of the stars making
for an eventful winter. in which
sensational incidents will take
place.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
have a year that brings worries and
annoyances, but these can be over
come by attention to details. The
health should be safeguarded.
Children born on this day are
same time Industrious. They have
great possibilities and should win
success in life.

hearts of pale fame that turned
Diana's hair to pure copper when
she bent her head to lay her lips
against the petals OF one.
Alex Leigh thought 1t a pretty
gesture, and the admiral termed IL
a graceful compliment to the absent
sender, but Marjorie's eyes mar
rowed, and her carefully rouged lips
were compressed a trife.
For she had caught the culver of
Diana's chin before IL was buried
in the velvet heart of the rose.
But she did not know that the
sight Of the roses brought back
wildly to Diana a twilight draw
ing room with windows opening on
a garden bathed in the Hight of the
suns afterglow and air fragrant
with the scent of dying roses whose
golden petals cleaned palely in the
descending dusk.
Conscious suddenly that she was
the cynosure of eyes, Diana flushed
and laughed a trihe ashamed. Then
she tucked the rose into a fold Of
Marjorie's bodice and jabbed It with
a pin.
