Ambition Must be Back
ed Up with Gumpt0in

Forbes Magazine: A man who has
attained an enviable position in BUSH
ness, recently gave the following adj
vice to group of young men:
"Good qualities represent greater
possibilities in combination. Any one
among you may have ambition to sue
coed; but, if that quality is not back
ed up by other good characteristics,
then success is a long way off. The
average person would get farther in
his ambitions if he took stock Of the
fact that ambition is only wish and,
of itself, cannot bring one near the
desired goal until the proper efforts
toward it are exerted, ever striving
harder and harder until finally that
goal is attained"
In his words there is much food for
thought. How many persons aspire
to greater heights, for greater COM
forts, longing to get out of a we'll
worn rut, to rise above mediocrity,
yet remain far from their. goals not
withstanding an abundance of ambi-
ton.
Turn to any man with a position of
prominence; the attainment repre-
sents not alone ambition-it is sup
ported by hard work, perseverance,
call it what you will, for it all am
cunts to a "get-there-spirit" -gump-
tion-which has constantly been COM
bined with ambition.

FEW KNOW FACE Of WATCH
Remarkable Fact That Can BE Verified
BY Casual Inquiry Among Ones
Acquaintances.

Something about the queer way in
which most Of US 'use-Or rather do
not use-ou powers OF observation
can be learned In a very simple way.
Ask the next person met whether 8
o'clock on his watch is marked by
Roman or an Arabic numeral. # he
does not admit that he does not know,
he can be set down as really excep-
tional person-One in about thousand
or so and after he looks at his watch
to see just how that figure is made,
he will have the further surprise of
finding that it is marked with neither
go nor wi"
This test recently was applied at
meeting of high railway officials in
st. Louis and one of them passed it,
though they, If anybody, might have
been expected to know just how their
watches were made. The railroaders
laughed at each other and seemed to
be little Inundated, but really there
was not much need, If any, for feeling
that emotion.
None Of them knew how 6 O'Clock was
marked, for the excellent reason that
knowledge would have been quite
worthless in their business and only
would have taken up room in their
minds better filed with other informa-
ton. They all could "tell time and
that was enough.

ALL CON ETITIoN WAS A Joke
Judge Had Another Think Coming II
He Thought He Could Do Away
With Chimney Sweeper.

A well-known judge in Ireland was
very fond of relating the following
story to his friends: 1t was at the
time of general election and one day
when he was leaving the law courts,
Dublin, sweep accosted him and adj
dressed him with familiarity. BE of,
We dirty scoundrel," said the Judge. Il
don't know you" "Sure, that We do,
yer 'oner," replied the sweep. 1--WE
never set eyes on you before" an
swered his lordship. "Yis, ye have, yer
'oner. OF swept yer 'oner's chimneys."
ooh, it was you, was it? I'll never en-
ploy you again." replied the Judge.
"You did the work badly and they've
smoked ever since. I'll never have you
again." "Oh, yes We WILL yer 'oner,'
replied the man. "And tell you !
WON'T" angrily answered his lord
ship. The sweep persisted that he
would be employed again, so the Judge
asked why, saying there were plenty
of other sweeps in Ireland. "Sure, yer
'oner, all the other sweeps have be-
come Numbers Of parliament" was the
reply-Chicago American.

"NATIoNAL" STONE OF SCOTS
cairnoorm the One Emblem to Which
Substantial Claim Can Be Made
by Highlanders.

$50 far as I know" said the Gus
toms and fashions fan, the New York
Sun notes, "only one stone can lay any
substantial claim to being national
emblem. The stone is the cairngorm
and the place it holds is unique. 1t
has no great beauty, being yellowish
or brownish or smoky sort of quartz
found in any quantity in the Scottish
hills. 1t is mined chiefly southwest
of Banff.
$50 frequently has it been set in
the big brooches that hold the folds
Of the kiltie costume at the shoulder
and in the haft of the highland dirk
that it has sentimental value greater
to the average Scot than that attached
to any other stone.
ut happens that this homely stone,
mined In Brazil and Siberia, and also In
Colorado and North Carolina, is also
called the Spanish topaz or the false
topaz, but to Scot it is never any
thing but the cairngorm, and so much
sentiment Is attached to 1t that he re-
CARDS r almost as charm"

This for the Tourist
Associated Automotive
journal.


The Minneapolis Journal has estab-
lished Tourist Information Bureau,
which is to be conducted on large
scale, the underlying idea being to
promote and increase travel to Min
nesota. With the influence Of a pow
erful organization, with the avenues
of expression that the Journal pos
sesses, tourist travel will be immense
~ stimulated and the reflection Of
this stimulation will be additional
business for each automobile dealer,
every garage, every filling station
proprietor, every tire dealer in the
state.
In conjunction with Tourist Travel
bureau, we seek to promote a high
grade of service to the tourist. The
tourist that can go away from Min
nesota with a feeling that a wonder
full hospitality has been shown him
will be the best perpetual advertise
ment that the state could possibly
have. The Travel Bureau falls in
very readily with the secretary's plan
of guaranteeing fair treatment from
the members of the state association.
The office is preparing list of the
members indexed according to town,
so that the travelling public may OBJ
tain their service from members OF
the state association.

Power of Progress.

Electricity represents the power OF
progress.
In the early days Of America In
dustry, mills were built on the banks
of streams that water power could be
utilized. Next come the age Of steam
and factories were built near the rail-
roads that coal could be delivered to
the plant. Then came the present
age of electricity and the greatest in
dustrial development the world has
ever known.
Today electricity brings the enor-
nous resources Of the country's coal
mines and water power to the indus
trial plants Of the nation. By the
throwing of switch, industry is as
sured instant and constant power
whenever needed, even though the
plant supplying the electrical power
may be hundreds of miles away from
the consumer. Co-ordinated research.
engineering, manufacturing and COM
mercial efforts have made possible
this quick delivery of power at cost
which permits rapid and. efficient de-
velopment of industry.

WILD, CREATURES HATE SNOW
Means Time Of Misery and Hunger to
Both Bird and Beast, and
Thousands Starve.

Most wild creatures abhor snow.
For the rabbits and hares it means
that they must scratch down through
the dull, frozen stuff before they can
find their usual food. If the snow is
really hard the rabbits are reduced to
eating the bark of the fences near the
warrenS
All the smaller birds are cut off
from their food supplies. Those that
live on worms or insects are part1cu-
larly hard hit, and If the snow lies
long the death roll among such birds
as robins is really terrible. In that
winter of 1917, when there were
hundred days of snow and frost in
England it is estimated that the Brit
ish isles lost about one-third of their
small-bird population.
Water rats, shrews and others all
dislike frost and snow because such
weather makes food more difficult to
obtain. Offers, as rule, make straight
for the coast in hard frost, and live
on dabs and founders in the unfrozen
estuaries.
Even rats, which can generally look
after themselves, dislike snow because
it makes their dark bodies too con-
spicuous to their enemies and pre-
vents them from moving about as
freely as they otherwise would.

DIFFERING Tea Tastes.

Russians drink tea, not with the adj
dition of milk as we do, but with lemon
juice squeezed In, while in Germany
tea is often favored with cinnamon and
rum.
Perhaps the quaintest form of tea
drinking is that practiced by the saw
age tribes in Tartary, Central Asia.
The leaves are first boiled in soda, then
seasoned with butter and salt, and then
eaten.
Many people think that tea taken
late at night produces sleeplessness. II
does. but IL slice of lemon is added
instead of milk, 1t will induce sleep.
In cases of fever, tea taken with lemon
and little sugar, and, Of course, no
milk, is very refreshing.
very common error is the belief
that by adding pinch of carbonate
of soda, a stronger taste can be OBJ
tanned. This is not SO, carbonate OF
soda being only useful when the water
is hard. pinch Of salt Is invaluable
for giving flavor at all times.

Philistine Described.

The philistine is man without in
tellectual pleasures, he will inevitably
be bored, despite the fact that against
boredom he has great many fancied
remedies - balls, theaters, parties,
cards, gambling, horses, drinking,
travelling and so on.
Yet nothing really pleases or excites
or interests him. For sensual pleas
ure is quickly exhausted, the society of
fellow philistines soon becomes bur-
densome and one may even get tired Of
cards.
The great affliction of all philistines
is that they have no interest in ideas,
and that to escape being bored they
are in constant need of realities. But
realities are either unsatisfactory or
dangerous when they lose their inter-
est they become fatiguing. The ideal
world is illimitable and calm.-From
Schopenhauer.

Albanian "Mean" Shot With Rifle.


The Albanian male is creature of
strange extremes, according to Ken
meth L. Roberts, in Balkan lettings
in the Saturday Evening Post. When
encountered in his mountain fast
nesses, CARRIED in f1aring ballet skirts
or baggy felt trousers-according to
the section Of the country in which
he lives-and a half portion jacket
with pompons on the elbows, he is
what an American cavalryman would
call a bad hombre
The Albanian carries silver
mounted rifle, silver-mounted re-
volver attached to his person by a
heavy silver chain, and waist-band
full of edged tools and miscellaneous
kitchen knives. He Is ''mean' shot
with rifle, and can shoot his initials
In a horses ear at a distance of 10
PAGES. His sacred honor is constantly
being damaged by careless neighbors.
and the only way in which he can re-
pair the damage is to shoot an intri-

person who did the foul deed.

"The United States of America is

To blame because Europe is not
prosperous. To blame because Russia
and Germany make compacts. To
blame for economic conditions in Eu-
rope; because of racial differences,
territorial greediness and territorial
fears. To blame because she suggests
that something on account in the way
of interest would be acceptable. To
blame because she doesn't concel ten
billions of debts. To blame for the
situation in the near east which has
endured for centuries. For what is
the United States to blame? Every
thing that is wrong in the .world.
For what is the U. S. A. given
credit by the compliments and whin
ers who have schemed and fought
themselves through the centuries into
the condition they are in? Nothing
except sordid motives and selfishness.
America lent money and gave men
to still the murderous row that Eu-
rope had been cultivating for years.
She sent an army of millions. At the
height of their desperation the allies
proposed to incorporate those men and
that army into the ranks of French
and British forces and assume full
control Of the activities and opera
lions Of American arms. So much
has been made clear by Pershing and
others since. The idea seems to be
retained. Europe could use American

Use River as Washtub.

The River Seine is the great wash
tub of Paris. Here, as in Normandy,
and Brittany and other places, the
women wash In the river. Hundreds
of white wash barges, or ''lavoirs," are
anchored along its banks. These boats
are sunk just deep enough to bring the
water to a convenient height. There
is row Of wash stalls on each side.
A "stan'' in one Of these barges Is
rented for two sous washing. Here
thousands of women may be seen wash
ing busily No hot water is used, oft
en- no soap. The women lean over the
edge of the boat, as though it were a
tub, and beat the linen with wooden
paddles. The noise Of these beating
paddles, a steady "tap-tapping," can
be heard long distance. The clothes
are dried on the grass, or on lines,
along the banks Of the river.

EMOTIONS VERY MUCH AKIN
Both Laughter and Weeping Sudden
Motions With Which Custom q
Bound to Do Away.

Sudden glory Is the passion which
maketh those grimaees called laugh
ter; and is caused either by some sud
den act OF their own that pleaseth
them, or by the apprehension of some
deformed thing in another by COMPARE
son whereof they suddenly applaud
themselves. And it is incident most
to them that are conscious of the few
est abilities in themselves; who are
forced to keep themselves in their
own favor by observing the Imperfect
lions of other men. And therefore
fsnch laughter at the defects OF others
is a sign Of pusillanimity. For OF
great minds one OF the proper works
is to help and free others from scorn
and compare themselves only with the
most able.
On the contrary, sudden detection Is
the passion that causeth weeping, end
is caused by such accidents as sudden
ly take away some vehement hope or
some prop of their power; and they
are most subject to it that rely prin-
cipally on helps external, such as are
women and children. Therefore some
weep for the loss of friends, others for
their unkindness, others for the sudden
stop made to their thoughts of revenge
by reconciliation. But in all cases, both
laughter and weeping are sudden mo-
tons, custom taking them both away.
For no man laughs at old lests or
weeps for an old calamity.-Hoboes
"Leviathan."

Centralia
Phone Co. In
100000 Suit

The Home Telephone Company of
Centralia has been made the defend
ant in an 100000 suit filed in the
Boone County Circuit Court by the
Missouri Utilities Commission to re-
v penalties under the public SER
vice commission act.
The plaintiffs allege that the COM
pany violated a ruling made on
charges by the telephone company in
a hearing held in Centralia in 1919.
The public service commission fixed a
rate which, under the state law,
would be all that the telephone COM
pany could charge. The petition
charges that the telephone company
exceeded this charge and asks for a
penalty of $1,000 a day since October
80, 1919, when the ruling went into
effect.
