HUMBLE MANS PROUD SPIRIT
Job Of Cleaning Ashes Out Of tho
Cellar 10 in tho Line Of SaIutary
Discipline.

Cleaning the ashes out Of the GEL
lar Is one Job designed to keep q
man humble. The man who can
spend half a day in a dust cloud,
carrying bushel basket after bushel
basket filled with cinders into the
alley and still be proud Of himself
Is an egotist beyond hope. He may
think he Is doing a good job and
be proud of his work, but beyond
that he cannot 90. With all that
life has given him Of fame and po-
sition he nevertheless for the time
being has become an ash-carrier.
Nor will all his fame keep the
dust out Of his ears and hair and
the small clnders out Of his last
summer oxfords, which he wears
for the Job. AS he staggers down
his back yard, resting a bushel
basket on the place where the even
Ing before no buttOned a white
broadcloth vest, he will be forced to
realize that the maid next door has
discovered the fact that he Is Just
ordinary stuff. He will know also
that the nelghbors are onto him;
he takes orders from his wife as
does every other man, and in time
descends to the common level Of
work. It. Is good for a man
to carry out his own ashes. He will
grunt and swear and sweat and !
blister his hands, but he will come
but Of the ordeal, If he has any sense
It all, little humber in spirit and
with a little klndller feeling toward
The man who does nothing but carry
ashes all his llfe.-Detroit Free Press.

SAW FUTURE OF ELECTRICITY

presidential address delivered by the
late Robert H. ThurstOn early in 1881.

by the invention Of the Edison carbon

predicted that for the occasional mild
light Of the moon or the yellow sick
ly flare Of the gas flame will soon be
substituted the less uncertain and al

and mellow, radiance Of the electric

Within three years there were 40
electric light stations In operation In

 The physician took her pulse and temperature, and made a brief, cursory examination of the little body
 "Everything's all right so far" His voice no less than his words re- assured, for he had let the relief he felt show through his professional calm. ''Now, I wonder if I can guess what you are thinking about"
 The child's eyes twinkled, and I recognized anew in her the same in domitable spirit which keeps her mother smiling no matter what ob- stacles confront her.
 ''I can't wait to have you guess '' she said 'Tm hungry"

 | Of course Blackie Pig was very young. Otherwise he would never have made such a silly remark And he soon learned that Farmer Green was more than a match for him.
 The next day Farmer Green made a long lid that dropped over the feed trough and covered it com pletely. And in the lid he cut seven lholes, one for each of Mrs. Pigs children.
 There was no more jostling at meal time. There was a place for every body. And Mrs. Pig was delighted with the improvement. When Farm CT Green filled the trough, each of the child dren stuck his head through a hole and ate in the most orderly fashion. To be sure, there was some squealing and grunting, and some snuffling and blowing. But it seemed to Mrs. Pig that no youngsters could Ihave behaved more beautifully
 And Grunty liked the new way of eating too.
 But Blackie made a great fuss. He complained because he couldn't stick his nose through two niles al the same time!

The Request Marion Made of
 Her Anxious Mother.


 As Marion's weak little voice ut tered her mothers name, Lillian bent over her with the tender, special understanding smile which loving mothers reserve for their children. It seemed of itself to envelop the child in safety.
 ''Yes, sweetheart Mothers right here"
 "What's the matter? O-h-h-"
 Her scream seemed to pierce the roof For terrorlzed instant l feared that some inadvertent move ment of her body had given her pam, and knew that the physician ana nurse shared my apprehenslons by the quick. concerted movement they made toward the child.

stop AND THINK

Did you ever stop and think, Mr..
Wauseon Merchant, that the town
that gets the publicity is the town
that gets the business? That the
town filled with good advertisers is
the town that grows? That adver-
tising properly done is worth its
weight in gold, and that advertising
is business, and not child's play !?
That people will drive for miles to
trade in a good, live town? That
your property will increase in value
when the outside world knows you
and your town are wide awake ?That
people from neighboring towns will
come where there is something worth
coming for? That the merchant who
doesn't seek to build up better
trade than he now has will lost out :?
That now is the time your town and
your business needs advertising more
than ever before because business is
harder to get than it has been for
two or three years? That if you do
not hustle for trade in the community
about you the merchants in some
other town will? That if they do not
get the business you've no one to
blame but yourself if it doesn't come
to you? Think it over. And then
come in and let US show you how
little good advertising costs.

A WONDERFUL CHANGE ISOME

WRuseon parents, those who have
been out Of school for a long time.
should sit down some evening and
look over the books their children
are studying at school. 1t will do
you good to compare these books with
the ones you studied, and to note the
wonderful advancement. Note the
wonderful illustrations they contain.
as compared with the few poor pic
lures you were once delighted with
IN the books you studied. And OBJ
serve, also, how much more interest
ing the lessons are in the books of
today, and how much more carefully
the books are edited School books
have kept step with everything else.
and just as we havee more modern
convenlences now than we had twenty
or thirty years ago, even so are the
school books our children study more
modern, and more capable of being
fully understood. OF course we will
always have those who contend that
the "old blue back speller" has never
been excelled. But for that matter
there are still some who contend that
the stage coach beats the railroad
train for transportation. We won't
argue about it. But just take a
moment or two sometime and note
the difference between the books your
children study and those you had to
get your education from.
