Struck by Drum.

Commencement week at Howard college reminds me of an incident that happened about 3S years ago, when
 Robert Morris fell over a drum he was beating during a parade of the How ard battalion in the old college at
 Maron,'' said Thomas B. Taylor.
 Bob and I were rooming together In those days. One battalion would often march through the streets of the
 town In an exhibition parade. One day a merchant on the main street had just gotten new showcase, and after unpacking 1t set the box out in
 the street, waiting to haul it away.
 Down the street came the battalion, with Bob in the lead beating bass
 drum. He walked along pounding away. and did not see this box project ing from the sidewalk. All of a sud-
 den he struck it with both feet and fell. He just rolled right over that
 big drum, but jumped to his feet and went on down the street beating the drum without missing a beat. Yes. he
 kept right on a-going."

Part Taken by Railroads
 in the Nations Welfare

TN an advertisement appearing in to- SU days Age-Herald, c. H. Mark ham, president of the Illinois Central system, calls attention to things about the railroads that the public does not see. They are, however, things that the public should know in order to be fair in it's attitude toward the car- riers.
 Out of every eleven persons in the United States one depends on the railroads for living. A modern loco motive contains 4,200 parts, modern steel coach 2,000 parts and a modern refrigerator car 1,5oo parts. All these must be jealously watched and kept intact by armies of skilled workers.
 The railways consume 28 per cent of the bituminous coal produced in this country. They consume 25 per cent of all the steel. They consume IS per cent of all the lumber. They are large users of lubricating oils and other commodities.
 MT. Markham claims with truth that railway prosperity is necessary to national prosperity and that any thing which injures the railways in jures the public, while what helps the railways helps the public"
 When the railways are not func. tioning well the commercial and in dustrial fabric suffers. When they have not enough cars and engines ir condition for moving traffic, the na-

NEW UTILITY HORSE
From Farm Life.

From Farm Life.
 The gasoline engine is changing the type of horse needed on the farm The automobile supercedes the light driver and the saddle animal to such an extent that in most sections of the country ''ponies' that used to be easy to market are now almost unstable. And ths tractor and the truck are certainly re- lieving the heavy draft horses of some of their worst loads. To meet the de- mand for utility horse of a new and distinctive type. the government has been making experiments in breeding. mainly in Wyoming and Fort Collins, Colorado. The standard-bred horse has been used as basis, with a judicious admixture of Morgan and American saddle horse. The horses of this type are active and hardy. They weigh in the neighborhood of 1.200 pounds and run from Ia to IS hands high. They are nearly ideal for general farm and road purposes, especially in rolling or hilly country, where the farms are not large,

The committee making this report is composed of middle western, not southern, farmers. They regard the matter as national. They point to the bill of $500, ,0oo, ,000 which we have paid for Chilean nitrates and they demand the completion of the dam be- cause it is Indispensable to a suc- cessful and economic operation of the nitrate plant"
 Stoppage of work on Wilson dam is neglect of great opportunity to serve the people of the United States in peace and war. It is the one propo- sition extant where preparation for war at the same time serves the causes of peace and will be an econ omy instead of drain on the nation. The same plants that cause crops to increase can at moments notice change to the manufacture of explo- sives to defend our shores.

MIsTAH MocKER GROWS WISER
 BUT SADDER

When Mfstah Mocker the Mock ingbird agreed to lend his wonder full voice to the plan of Chatterer the Red Squirrel for playing a joke on all the little feathered people of the old orchard he didn't dream that 1t could be anything but a joke, the most harmless kind of joke. Of course. he knew that Sammy Jay is thief and that none of the other birds like him. and always try to drive him away. It seemed to him that it would be the greatest kind of a joke to hide and then scream like sammy Jay until the other birds came hurrying to drive him away, and that when they found that it wasn't Sam my Jay at all, but their friend MT. Mocker, they would all have a great laugh at the way they had been fooled You see it never entered his head that there could be any harm in it-that Chatterer the Red Squir- rel was all the time planning to take that chance to steal from Drummer the Woodpecker.
 . But that is just what Chatterer was planning and just what he did do. And all the time he chuckled to himself to think how easily he had gotten Mistah Mocker to help him. But Mistah Mocker didn't know this. So when at last he showed himself he didn't know what to make of it when no one laughed No, sir, he didn't know what to make of it. He stopped laughing himself and stared first at Drummer the Woodpecker then at Mrs. Drummer, and after that st each of the others in turn. There wasn't even a smile anywhere. In stead there were angry looks. Then Drummer the Woodpecker darted al him fiercely and tweaked a feather from Mistah Mocker's coat.

Last Times for "kazan" Today

Today sees the final presentation of that truly remarkable James OIi-
 yer Curwood picture 'Kazan," done from the story of the same name by this author of Gods Country and the Woman" There has been, per- haps, no picture offered in recent months at any of the local theaters which has attracted as much atten-
 tion as the story of this half wolf and half dog, which turned wild but retained enough of his early civilized
 training to make him hero by the very wonderful rescue of a girl. "Kazan" finishes it's engagement to-
 day, and 1t divides honors on the program with 'Snooky," the human zee, the most remarkable monkey to be brought before the camera. This animal actor has never had an equal in the history of pictures He is a regular visitor at the Rialto.
 Tomorrow there opens at the Rial to for three days engagement one of the cleanest, finest and most sublime picture creations in the his
 tory of the camera, George Lone Fuckers unsurpassed picturization of
 the novel of the same name, "The Miracle Man." When this picture was offered for the first time in Phoe& nix it was presented at the Strand at s1.50 top, and on returning it the Ri- alto theater the management calls attention to the fact that it is being offered at regular house prices. It is featured by the fact that in the cast are such we'll known stars as Thomas | Meighan, Betty Compson, Lon Cheney
 and Joseph owing as 'The Miracle Man" This picture attained the most widely distributed vogue of any pie
 ture made in the last 20 years. It | has been shown in every country or i the g ,obe with sub titles made ir l Chinese, Russian, Japanese and other 1 foreign tongues. It is still an object

HEALTH AFFECTED
 BY EMOTIONS


 Any emotion that gives pleasure acts healthily on the heart and other organs, the circulation becomes more brisk, and appetite and health im- prove. Love, hope and happiness all produce these emotions and, contrary to the accepted notion, the ardent lover ought to enjoy his meals thor oughly.
 Despair. grief and fear have quite another effect. They make the ac- ton of the heart slower and enfeeble the nervous and muscular system often upsetting the digestion as well
 Anger causes the heart, to act vio- lently, working upon. both physical and mental powers. The muscles for the time being are taut and tense and the secretion of bile is increased A reaction follows rapidly. when the muscles become flabby and a feeling of weakness pervades the body Columbus Dispatch.
