price to be announced later. Rep.
J. ID. Root will meet Rep. J. Fl. Bauer
for the championship of the house Of
representatives with rifle.

game committee made trip to the
woods near Bismarck that it didn't
make any difference to Rep. Root
whether there was an open or closed
season-he couldn't hit anything any
way. Rep. Root approached the al.
legged champion.
Root: "They tell me you claim to
be the champion shot Of this house,.
Bauer: blouse nothing-the state
of North Dakota"
Root: "Well, I'll just challenge you
to shooting match
Bauer: Hold on now, what'll we
shoot with"
Root: We'll shoot 25 clay pigeons
that is, I'll shoot 'em and you'll
try"
Bauer: 81 don't know, I'm pretty
busy
Root: "You claim to be champion,
don't you?"

Uncommon Sense
By JOHN BLAKE
ENERGY is CAPITAL.

A LAKE cannot turn a turbine,
n though 1t contains more water
than a cataract.
All the knowledge you can accumu-
late in lifetime will do you no good
unless 1t can be translated into en-
ergy.
The difference between doors ara
wishers in this life is difference of
energy.
The reason you see so many men
succeed whom you know to be no bet
ter fitted mentally than failures Of
your acquaintance is because the sue
cessful men are energetic.
Energy Is the driving force behind
everything that Is done.
All Of us have some Of 1t, or we
could not live.
Those who have a great deal usually
get along, unless they constantly mis-
direct it.
There are, Of course, energetic peo-
pie who never get very far. But even
they get farther than they would If
they were content to sit still.
If the maxim, Everything comes to

STEWARD LET DOWN LIGHTLY
In View Of Silly Assertion, One Would
Have Liked to See Him More
Harshly Handled.

"A hotel steward said to be known
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
for forty years an observer Of peo-
pie who eat In public dining rooms,
Is reported as saying at convention
Of public food purveyors that "Amer-
lean women have forgotten how to
cook" The gentleman speaks with
out knowledge Of the facts. We may
excuse him only because he has been
penned up in public eating places for
so many years that he has lost all
sense of proportion and lacks facts for
comparison. American women have
not forgotten how to cook. Their
good, wholesome, well-prepared food
for home dining room feedss and feeds
amazingly well, 80 per cent Of the pop
plation. So general is good home
cooking that every man forced by cir
cumstances to get his meals at public
places regards himself as unfortunate
because he cannot always eat at home,
or at somebody else's home. This ho-
tel steward is full of-misinformation.

nin wuO salts. were attended u
read, Nothing comes to him who
waits" II would be true.
Az It stands It is one Of the most
misleading and dangerous faIsehOOds
In existence.
Your energy is your capital. Csc It
wisely and economically and 1t will
pay you an almost usurious rate Of In
terest.
Half use It, or waste 1t on things
that are Of no value and you will just
about make living, which is thing
which no man Of ambition wants to
do.
Education teaches us to use our en-
ergy probably. An educated man can,
or should, get more out Of the same
amount Of energy than an uneducated
man, exactly as a turbine gets more
out Of column Of falling water than
the old-fashioned overshot wheel.
Yet the energy must be there, or the
education must be useless. There must
be driving force which will apply what
you have learned to your problems.
Nothing important was ever accom-
plished by education alone.
If You haven't got energy, cultivate
1t. Put your health in good condition
and your physical energy will Inn
prove, and with physical energy You
Will gain mental energy.
Be careful how you use both. You
can't settle a business tangle If you
have been playing tennis all the morn
ing. The exercise will use up the en-
ergy that ought to be expended on the
job. Your brains can't use what your
muscles have used already.
Energy is always capital, but 1t must
be well and prudently invested.
Take care Of yours. Add to It by
care of your health and by abundant
mental exercise. Then expend 1t on
important matters, and don't be
afraid to expend It literally. 1t Is one
thing of which the more you spend the
more you will have, provided, OF
course, 1t is not foolishly wasted.

AS YOU THINK.

THE lovely or homely lines on your
face, the expression In your eyes,
the curvature Of your lips and
In fact every visible lineament on your
features, Ii bat an outward sign of
your thoughts-your hidden self.
''For as he thinketh within himself,
% is he" says the Biblical proverb.
Whether you suspect 1t or not, you
carry with you at all times in the
tracings on your countenance, all the
good and the evil thoughts that con-
troll your impulses and shape your
destiny.
Some psychologists there are who
can with a wonderful degree of ac-
curacy read your face as they would
read a printed book and determine
after much observation the quality Of
your character.
A little child Is often adept in read
ing at first glance the cast and build
of the telltale marks ON a face hard
ened by crime, and will shrink from
II in abject fear, even when there is
an attempted smile.
Through the lip-smile a child
glimpses the soul and senses the
souls deceit and wickedness.
A thoroughbred dog has the same in
nate instinct.
At the sight of a hard face, the
bristles on the dogs back will rise as
he shifts, steps warily and utters
resentful growl.
The thoughts that are yours, those
that predominant, shape and compel
your acts, govern your words and the
information Of your voice, light your
eyes and color your cheeks, slowly and
surely trace their indelible lines on
your face, that wise creatures may
read them with unerring certainty.
If thoughts be ugly, the face will
be ugly, and you, yourself, will be as
you think, in spite Of artiflce and dill
gently polished manners.
Upon the other hand, If thoughts
be sweet, pure, charitable, kindly and
noble. there will be perpetually shin
