She made the suggestion: IL all

There spoke the woman of science.
The true discoverer In the natural
world uses Imagination as well as
observation In finding out things.
Madame Curie and her husband
knew that radium existed before they
succeeded In releasing 1t from the
material in which 1t was hid.
Her attitude towards the busy life
around her is naturally different from
that of the ordinary spectator who
only looks at the surface commotion.
The difference between the two IL

The triumph of mans mind over

EVERY MEMBER GET ANOTHER
Indications Are That Big Campaign
Will Double Membership Of
American Legion.

The "every-member-ge get-a t-a-member'
campaign of the American Legion has
begun. and reports received at the ma.
tional headquarters at Indianapolis In
dicate that the purpose of the cam
paign, to double the membership. will
soon be accomplished.
To double the membership Of the
Legion was the ardent wish Of f. w.
Galbraith Jr., late national comman-
der, who was killed In an automobile
accident at indianapolis. His success
sor, John G. Emery Of Grand Rapids,
Mich. was probably the first member
Of the Legion to get member when
the present campaign opened.
Mr.. Galbraith planned the campaign
a short time before his death. He
was anxious to have the membership
doubled by October. 1t now appears
that the campaign will end before that
time.
In his statement setting out plans
for the campaign. Mr.. Galbraith said
'The Legion has earned the right to
do something In a national way pri
marlly In the interests Of Its organl
zation. and the time has come to exer
else that right propose that the
American Legion shall exactly double

OLD PILOT HAPPY
Nick Durand Has Big Store Of
Pleasant Memories.
His RecolIections Cover Thirty-Three
Years Of Splendid Service on the
Ohio River Ferries.

with the snubby-nosed old ferry tied
up to await its doom, the planks Of
the rottlng wharf drifting weariiy out
with the current, Nick Durand, aid TO
eloping couples and for thirty-three
years on one after another of the ONO
river craft. is left once more without
q vessel.
At the time he shipped on the Shall
cross in 1888, the river surged with
steamboats,. bound for Cincinnati with
Mississippi molasses or nosing their
way downstream to yicksburg, loaded
with butter and candle wicks. That
was the time when the ferry boat piled
to and fro with white decks and the
tons of the warehouses painted blue,
CARRYING every one from fuzzy-whisk-
cred farmers to nurse girls In pink
dotted sunbonnets-for there was no
bridge and the only crossing to be had
was by way OF the dock-apron and the
gangpank.
Names of vessels scarcely remem-
bered along the river slip from the
pilot's tongue as he recounts tales
gathered from thousands of trips he
has made.
The Rainbow, the Gray Eagle, the
Drueland-in all that time, he boasts,
although he has beaten his way back
and forth through wind and fog and
lce-clogged water. no serious accident
has occurred.
With chuckle, he tells OF the
couples that have made their way
| down the river front hand In hand
| and often coming aboard oblivious or
passengers and staring deckhands-
forgetting to pay their fare as they
passed the little counter at the dock.
"Lor, yes, there's been a plenty OF
them." he smiles, wagging his chin.
"You can tell 'em every time. They
come down all eyes for each other,
and none for anybody else. Usually
they get off and get 1t over with as
soon as possible, and when they come
back they are more loving than ever,
then they stand over in a corner un-
rolling the certificate to look at. How
many? l couldn't tell expect some
Of them are famous by now. but l
could never keep track of any,"
During the years that Nick Durand
has shipped on Ohio steamers, he has
seen the river change from heavily
travelled thoroughfare to q mere alley
way where sn occasional paddle Is
seen. Before the building of the Big
Four bridge at Louisville, the ferries
came bobblng daintily across at 10
minute intervals, but after its con-
struction the farmers and nurse girls
drifted away, and for time the fer
ry, stanch of hull, but frowsy Of rig
glng came hobbling by like ragged
old woman, shaggy-browed and with
skirts tucked in.
But Durand will not be long with
out boat; he has already been en-
gagged as pilot of the Pilgrim, which
was retained by the owners, and is
now being fitted out for slow, llnger-
ing sapphire days up the river.-Louis-
vile Courier-Journal.

GIVING.

TIE PUT his name on every list
i lie was true phllanthropist-
And yet a mighty lot he missed
I'm giving of his pelf:
He gave his gold, but let few
Good friends dlsburse the check he
drew,
And so one Joy he never knew
He never gave himself.
His money did lot of good:
II found the needy neighborhood--
And yet he never understood
The thing we have to give,
The thing we need to give to men.
Besides our money now and then.
The thing we have for giving when
Mems lives nre hard to live.
Oh, wealth Is much. hut much the hand
That finds the fallen brother and
Restores him 10 the solid land
When tossed upon the seas;
oh. wealth is much, but much the smile
That lifts the other man the while
You give little Of your pile
For his necessities.
so go yourself and do not send:
rs both the glver and the friend;
BE not too rich, too high, TO bend
To lift the man you aid -
Seek out the soul that Is adrlft,
Bring gold to help but love to lift,
And you shall feel, for every gift.
A thousand times repaid.

TRAVELLING WOMAN.

i portant member of our CONNER
cial life these many years, but the
travelling woman Is newer. How
ever, she has come. and she is max
Ing good. The old notion that the
work was too hard for her Is rapidly
dying away. Today travelling is not
hard. A woman is no longer thought
queer when she travels alone.
II you look forward to taking up
this sort OF work you need 10 ask
yourself II you are qualified for the
work.
You ought 10 be good mixer and
capable of taking care Of yourself.
You ought TO have charm, the power
OF interesting people, and be an easy
talker. You must make yourself thor
oughly familiar with the line OF goods
you are to sell. Never try to sell some
thing In which you do not believe. 1t
can't be done.
You should begin by taking course
In some good school In salesmanship
with special work In the line you
wish to follow, and you should fol-
low this by working In store OF
wholesale house. Make II clear that
you wish to fit yourself to travel and
do not stay with any firm that is not
willing to give you chance to dc
this.
Once launched. II will depend OF
yourself as TO how far you will go
but II you are real commercial trav
eler you will get lot OF fun out OF
the life, plenty Of experience, and yor
stand to make lot OF money.
