ADVICE WELL WORTH TAKING
No Doubt Driver Of Car Realized
Afterward That His Sarcasm
Really Was Wasted.

A big passenger car was victim
of the sleet in Central avenue. The
driver tried valiantly to keep it in
the middle of the street, but one hind
wheel slipped over a little, the driver
tried to stop the boat" the rear
wheel slid along the car track-well,
auto drivers know the rest.
When the car stopped sliding Its
two rear wheels rested against the
curb and it's two front ones were on
the car track. Then ensued much
speeding up of the engine and much
whizzing of rear WHEELS, but no for.
ward movement.
"What's the matter; trying to get
away from the curb?" a bystander
asked.
ooh, no, I'm polishing the pavement
SO the kids can have some fun!'' sar.
castically exclaimed the driver Of the
car.
"Well, if you'll just cut that engine
down and slip her ont of high into
low, I'll give you little shove and
you'll walk right away from the curb,
the interloper said.
The advice was followed, the wheels
ceased their mad whirl and the car
under the gentle urge Of the bystander,
moved away.-Indianapolis News.

I From Messenger to General.

General Pellegrin, who has just been
appointed to the command of the
thirteenth division of French infantry,
with headquarters at Langres, is a
living proof Of the possibility of ris-
ing by unaided effort, which Napoleon
crystallized into the saying that every
French soldier carried marshal's
baton in his haversack.
General Pellegrin, whose parents
were in very poor circumstances be-
gan life as telegraph messenger ut
Marseilles. He scraped and saved so
as to be able to buy books, which he
studied at night after his days work
for the postoffice was finished. He
took his baccalaureate, got into the
military college at Saint-Cyr, obtained
his commission with flying colors and
passed the Ecole de Guerre, or staff
college. He took part in the opera
lions in Morocco in 1907, was badly
wounded at the battle of the Marine,
and afterwards returned to Morocco,
where he became one of Marshal
Lyautey's most valued assistants.

Health Habits for Children.

for every child in the schools of Wash

day mark is given for the pupils

the teeth, carrying a handkerchief,
keeping a good posture, taking thir-
ty minutes physical exercise. Thirteen
health habits are noted. At the end
of a month a rating is given to cor
respond with the daily record, and the
sheet is sent home folded around the

JULIA HAD SAD SOMETHING
Sam Was Forced to Admit That His
Better Half "chatted About
Dem Clothes"

Courtenay Dinwiddie. executive of
the National Child Health council, told
the following story at the meeting
Of the Monday evening club. 1t belongs
to the great fund of family stories Of
which each home has its share.
His family had colored woman
Of the name of Julia, who did the
wash,S according to Mr.. Dinwiddie,
her husband transporting the clothes
to and from home. One night he start
ed with big bundle of freshly washed
clothing. It. had been raining and
there were puddles along the street.
The unfortunate man slipped, the
bundle hit the street, opened up, and
Its contents went into a mud puddle.
Needless to say, he couldn't deliver
the wash, and he hated to take it
back home. But he was forced to
"face the music"
A week later the colored man
showed up at the Dinwiddie home
with the clothes spick and span. The
family, Of course, had found out what
had delayed their wash and were pre-
pared for Sam.
That worthy. however, did not say
word about his mishap.
'Sam," asked a member of the fam.
lily, "didn't Julia have anything to say
about the clothes when you had to
take them back?"
Sam grinned.

THE GOOD OLD HYMNS.

There's lots of music in 'enl-the hymns
Of long ago,
And when some gray-haired brother sings
the ones l used to know,
sorter want to take hand, I think Of
days gone by,
"On Jordan's stormy banks stand and
cast a wistful eye!'
There's lots of music in 'em-those dear.
sweet hymns of old,
With visions bright OF lands of light, and
shining streets OF gold;
And l hear 'em MISUNDERSTANDING, where
mem'ry. dreaming, stands,
From GreenlanA's icy mountains to In
dias coral strands"
They seem to sing forever of holier,
Y sweeter days
When the lilies of the love of God bloomed
white in all the ways;
And l want to hear their music from the
oldtime meetn' rise,
Till II can read my title clear to man
sions in the Skies"
We never needed singin' books in them
old days-we knew
The words, the tunes of every one-the
dear old hymnbook through!
We didn't have no trumpets then, no
organs built for show,
We only sang to praise the Lord, "from
whom all blessings low."
An SO love the good old hymns, and
when my time shall come
Before the light has left me, and my
singing lips are dumb
If can hear 'em sing them then, I'll pass
without a sigh
To "Canaan's fair and happy land where
my possessions lie"
