Overdjd the Part,

There is one smart Chinaman stay
ing now perfOrce in northern Mexico
who, but for slight error, would be
enjoying residence in the United
States Arrested for attempting to en-
ter Illegally via the Mexican border,
he tried to palm himself off before the
court according to United States Com
missioner A. J. w. Schmid at Ell Paso,
Tex, as an old resident of Seattle. So
well had he been coached in the part
that the federal attorneys could pick
no flaw in his apparent knowledge Of
Seattle, names and places. In desper-
alton, the prosecution finally asked if
he had ever known julius Caesar up
there. Yes, the Chinaman had heard
Of him often. Did he remember Mark
Antony, and how he acted as states
witness at the trial Of Caesars muir
derers? Yes, he remembered Anthony
well, and the murder, too, and was
only a little hazy in his mind about
the trial. Ten minutes later he was
on a Mexican bound trolley.-New

Two Kinds of Thinkers.

There are two kinds of people in
the world-word people and fact
people, The former deal in words and
phrases and form their judgments on
opinions and beliefs. The latter
analyze questions and draw con-
illusions only from the point of view
Of what they believe to be established
facts. The two types are as far apart
as the north and south poles and are
incapable of carrying on anything in
the way of intelligent argument or de-
bate, because they do not talk the
same language or think by the same
method The word man starts with a
desired conclusion and fashions his
facts to produce that result. The
fact man analyses his subject, seeks
to establish the truth in regard to
facts which have a bearing on it and
then fearlessly draws what he be-
lieves to be honest conclusions. His
process is like the working out Of a
mathematical problem; he does not
know what the answer will be until
the last figure is made. He thinks for
ward, while the word man thinks
backward.

SAYS IVY. HURTS BUILDINGS
English Architect Advises Its Removal
From the Historic Structures Of
Oxford University.

Ivy, picturesque adjunct to the
lanscape in covering old buildings and
which has been so greatly admired by
American visitors to the historic towns
of England, is doomed. 1t is asserted
that not only is the ivy highly in
furious to the buildings which are
covered by the vine. but that, In scores
of cases it destroys more beauty than
it creates by obscuring examples of
fine old architecture. In oxford, es-
pecially during the last few years,
many of the old college structures
which have been covered for gener-
ations with masses of the glossy green
leaves have been entirely denuded
of every vestige Of ivy and the work
is still going on.
Edward Warren, an English archi-
tect, in writing of the architectural
Improvement to old buildings by re-
moving the Ivy covering, admits in
the London Times that he has been
responsible for the removal of a large
amount of ivy from Oxford walls.
Il am its declared enemy" he says.
1T should be permitted to grow upon
no walls but those of uninhabited
and uninteresting ruins, or the rough
walls of fields or gardens. Ivy is
a terribly insidious foe to architecture,
its acid secretions destroy the mortar
of the joints, reducing it to incohesive
sand, its fibers and It's tendrils push
their way between the joints, its
clinging branches grow and swell
in every available hollow and crevice,
bursting ancient holdings and shat
tering carvings, penetrating thick
walls If given time, lifting copings
and parapets, and stealthily and
steadily disintegrating the work of
mans hands, while it smothers It's pro-
portions and its beauties.

To Utilize Waste Time.

A system in vogue in a few New
York department stores to utilize the
spare time Of their employees when
customers are few is to hold meetings
Of semi-social character, in which a
part or the whole of their forces can
participate. One Of the most popular
and beneficial of those systems, from
the viewpoint Of the employers and the
employees, is to assemble the forces
and sing songs and hear short address
es delivered on general subjects by
store executives or others. A daily
use of that system, according to one
store manager who has had the system
In practice for considerable time. Is
to infuse greater enthusiasm among
It's employees for their work and to
inculcate a spirit of cooperation be-
tween the employer and his employees.

THOUGHT NOT REALLY RAPID
Mind Moves Comparatively Slowly,
Notwithstanding Expression That
Has Become Common.

''As quick as thought" is an express
sion much used to denote the acme
of speed in action, but, like so many
popular expressions, this one Is mis-
leading Thought, or at least the men
tai registering Of sensation, is not
an exceedingly speedy process, the
thought impulse moving at the com
paratively slow speed Of 40 feet a
second or rs miles an hour. Light
travels nearly nine million times as
swiftly. Thought would be hopelessly
beaten in a race with a motorcar.
Perhaps a good illustration of the
comparative slowness Of thought
waves is to assume that man had
an arm rs miles long and that, when
he was not looking a friend should
grasp his hand. Before the owner of
that arm became conscious that his
hand had been touched, the friend
would have released it, and had time
to walk four miles or eat very ex-
tensive dinner-KansaS City Star.

ERROR COMMITTED BY MANY
Grave Mistake to Leave Business
Position in General Cloud Of
Unpleasant Feeling.

The man or woman of small am
bition and smaller achievement feels
that it Is his privilege and pleasure
always to leave position he is quit
ting" in a cloud of unpleasant feel
ing. So long as he remains in his
position he puts up with unpleasant
ness, STILES his dislikes for the men
over him and does his best to grin
and bear things. When he realizes
that he can take his destiny in his
own hands, and ask to have his name
stricken off the pay roll, he takes
intense satisfaction in airing his preju-
dices and showing every one in the
place just how he feels about things
He undOes in day all that he has
gained in the months or years that he
has worked there
The man or woman with ambition
knows that the world of business is
small place. Merely from a selfish
point of view it is essential to main
tain pleasant relations even with those
who, you feel, have treated you un-
justly. III you nave put up with tnelr
i'll treatment while working for them
surely you ought to be more willing to
do so when you have the inner salts
faction of knowing that you are going.
In fact, you can stretch point and
forgive and forget old rancors. 1t may
he, you know, that in another shuttle
up you will be placed in position
where one Of the persons for whom
you have the most spite will be placed
in position where his friendship will
mean a great deal to you. So do the
well-bred thing, which is to stife your
own petty animosities and exercise
your self-control to the extent of
leaving the old place with handshake

How Man Spoils the Air.

"Windows open more would keep
doctors from the door" A very large
quantity of fresh air Is spoiled and
rendered foul by the act of breathing.
A man spoils not less than gallon
every minute. In eight hours breath
ing a full-grown man spoils as much
fresh air as seventeen three-bushel
sacks could hold. If he were shut up
in a room seven feet broad, seven feet
long and seven feet high, the doors
and windows fitting so tightly that no
air could pass through, he would die
poisoned by his own breath, In very
few hours; in twenty-four hours he
would have spoiled all the air con-
tanned in the room. and have convert
ed It into poison.

HOLD FIRMLY TO BELIEFS
Mennonites Stress Biblical Stories
Which Other Christians Regard
With Some Lightness.

The advent of the Mennonites to
Penn had been granted land for his
Quaker followers. He was told of
Mennonites who had fled from Ger
many to Holland and his Quakers
came to their aid. The Quakers are
credited with helping them financially
In colonizing parts of Ohio, Indiana,
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota.
Later, colonies were established in
Saskatchewan and other parts Of
Canada.
A peculiar custom of these people
Is the washing of feet. They say that
the command of Christ to the woman
to wash His feet stands on the same
spiritual level AS His acts of distrib-
uting food and drink to the hungry
and thirsty. To the Mennonites the
story related by st. Luke is as impor-
tant as the ones other Christians re-
gard including the sacrament and
communion.
Community property is another
Mennonite belief, although it is not
general. The members of the sect CO.
operate in building roads, school
houses and churches.
One of the largest n4grations of
Christian people of modern history is
that of about 100000 Mennonites, So
900 families, from Canada to Mexico,
which will begin soon. They claim
unjust treatment in Canada during
the World war. The Mennonites re-
fuse to enter any war.

MAKING IT HARD
|. FOR BOOTLEGGERS

Buffalo, N j.. Sept. 25.-Smug-
CLING and bootlegging are not
what they used to be.
Two new regulations = one
American, the other Canadian
have added to the smugglerb boot
leggers troubles. The Canadian
National railways, according to
information received here, will
hereafter refuse to transport ale
or liquor to places that are not
bona fide export points.
The American regulation that
threatens to put another barrier in
the path of the bootlegger is sec
tion 5S1, part five Of the new tar
if flaw. AS interpreted here it
means that mans automobile or
personal baggage may no longer
be considered safe from search and
seizure. The regulation was in
tended to permit customs officers
to search vessels outside the three
mile limit, but it also apparently
gives dry agents the right to
search at any time and place with
out the formality of obtaining a
search warrant.
