Ernest Trucks, Garden.

Ernest Truck belongs to the COM
placent commuter class. All last win
ter his coy library was filed with
garden and floral catalogues until the
color glare hurt your eyes. Outside
the front yard and the garden awaited
with Impotence the glad spring when
Ernest, the sower, would come forth
to sow. Then someone who knew
and loved Ernest Truck and who be-
lieved in encouraging his planting pro-
pensities sent him box bullying with
envelopes filled with seeds. Oh! such
lot of nice ambitious seeds! Holly
hooks, pansies, sweet alyssum, trailing
arbutus, bleeding hearts, nasturtiums,
sweet peas and many others, the
names Of which were even Greek to
Great Neck.
The great day came and into the
warm bosom of mother earth went
the seed. Then came sun, dew and
rain and all earth's processes and
little bits of green began to rise
ambitiously from the titled earth, but
somehow or ..other to sower Ernest
they did not look right. They were
too green. And one day came the dis
covery. Instead of all the flowers
with the beautiful names on the en-
velopes were bedfs, turnips, carrots,
lettuce, radisies and all that sort of
thing. Exchange.

The patience Of the Filipinos and
their steady, unruff1ed determination
should impress even the imperialist
and the doubter with their ability
to govern themselves. Time after
time they have come asking for
freedom and have received from
our government empty reassurances
or contemptuous estimates of their
capacity-such as are implied In
General Woods recent report. But
after each rebuff they return with
new proofs of their ability.
The Filipinos do not riot for
freedom. They deal in facts and
present their claims in a tone that
seems to expect fair treatment. Let
us hope they get it as promptly. at
least, as those peoples of the earth
who demand their rights in terms
of violence.-Ex.

A BIT of PhiIosonhx.

A famous hotel man. who is also a
philosopher, once made a remark that
would apply to almost any business.
"The greatest mistake" ha declared,
''that is commonly made by employees
and managers is to exert themselves
more for the, coni6ort Of an old-time
customer than for new one. Ac-
cording to all rules of hospitality and
logic, the person who should receive
the most effort for his entertainment
within ones door Is the newcomer"
he continued, according to Nations
Business. "In your own home you
would not think of making a great
fuss over a man who had been enter
tained there before, and more or less
ignore another fellow who is receiving
your hospitality for the first time. Yet
in hotel dining room the head waiter
is most careful to seat the man whom
he has seen there before, and In most
stores the clerks make more fuss over
an old customer than one who Is Civ
ing the store first trial"

Are Instincts TranspIantedY

A gripping story~by Alan Sullivan.
In Everybody's Magazine, is based ON
the transplanting of monkey glands.
Jennison, the biologist in the story,
says:
"When you have planted the thyroid
gland Of an ape, you may possibly
transplant his instincts. We we're all
apes once. Some of us moved on ;
some stayed behind.
"You surgeons dabbls your red
fingers In tissues and glands that may
possess a potency beyond your Wild
est thoughts. You work somewhere
along the line between the known and
the unknown. Is 1t not possible to
prolong life at the cost of that which
Is worth more than mere existenceY'

GREAT MEN FOND Of TESTING
Moments Of Lightheartedness Said to
Have Been Part Of Even Napol.
cons Grim Character.

Sir James Barrie thrust his pick
into profitable seam when he recent
ly reminded the st. Andrews students
Of Scotland that greatness and GER
tain lightheartedness nearly always go
hand In hand. He gave one or two
examples from ancient and modern
history, and the list could be extended.
1t might be true to say generally
that the greater the man and the
greater his responsibilities the more
zestfully he unbends to the spirit Of
frolic. OF course, there are exceptions
to every rule. Napoleon seems to have
been little grim and irritable even
when TESTING, though he could unbend
with his old soldiers. Chatham seems
to have worn his panoply in private
life, though, as matter of fact, we
have no very precise knowledge to go
on in his case, for with him the pri-
vate life was something of a sealed
book.
But William Pitt could play the
fool with the best Of them; Fox, so
long as he could move, loved nothing
better than a romp. William III is
generally regarded as one of the dour-
est characters in history, but there
was an exception-on the battlefield.
When the bullets were flying he could
even crack joke. Everyone has
heard stories of Gladstone's grimness,
yet he could be as jolly as any school
boy when he relaxed, as witness the
famous scene of his roll down a grass
slope In token Of his relief when he
gave up the leadership in 1875.
Thackeray was called q cynic, but
no one played the fool more heartily !;
Bishop Stubs Of the Constitutional
History" was the same man as Bishop
Stubs of innumerable good jokes and
bad puns. The gloomy Dean" Of to-
day is known In his own nurseries as
the best Of romps, and it used to be
said Of the "Chatham set" in the
great days Of the Evangelicals that
cheerfulness and high spirits were
their strong acteristicS.
Most people regard Austen Cham
berlain as a very solemn person, yet

Beware Auto Fire Hazard

Automobile fire insurance COM

c.aity companies which fire insur-
ance agents estimate would add an
ether Sl,00Q,oQO 10 their hgure
Neither does this sum include the
loss incurred by that iuestimable

danger toward which automobile
owners look ugntly Fire? There's
hardly a chance for their machine

they say. with tights and such when
they are near their cars.
Carelessncss.
But they don't refute the insur-
ance authorities. Carelessness, they
say. is just what starts so percent
OF the automobile fires Not so
much lighting a match 10 see hoy
much gas there IS left IN the tank
as shopping around the gasoline line

That is a direct sort Of careless
ness which should be guarded
against. But there is an indirect
kind which causes most trouble.
This is the kind Of carelessness
which allows the valves 10 get leaky
and the fuel line 10 get lOose-jointed;
where exhaust connections are
neglected and wire insulation Is
rubbed off. and wherein engine pan

cleaned is by burning, through spon-
taneOus combustion.
Short circuits start fires. Batter
les have been known TO explode
when the hydrogen they generated

and became so inflammable as to
cause a fire.
Precautions.
To avoid such an occurrence there
is just one guide. That is careful
attention TO all parts Of the car.

times. Flames should be kept away
