Force, Not Elegance.

During the war an enlisted man
who had done we'll in our service was
commissioned as a second lieutenant.
He knew his drill and his duties per
fectly, but owing to his lack Of edu-
cation the words that he used in his
reports were sometimes puzzling.
During the fighting around Chateau
Thierry he found that he and his pla-
toon were far in advance Of the rest
Of the line and in a very tight place {;
there was little hope Of their getting
out unless help came quickly. He had
already lost good many men. Call
ing his runner to his side, he gave him
this message to deliver to the colonel:
"Beat 1t to the old man, kid, as fast
as your legs'll carry you and tell him,
with my respects, to hustle up re-
Inducements, as me and the whole
platoon are all decomposed
In spite Of the choice Of words the
reinforcements arrived In time. -

Exporting Worm Holes.

lowing incident which occurred In q
foreign country short time ago, re-
Gently reported to the lumber division
Of the Department Of Commerce.
An American exporter sent an un-
usually poor consignment Of oak,
which was found to be wormy, to his
overseas connection, but no market
could be found for this parcel. This
consignment would have caused q
great loss to the exporter were 1t not
for the fact that the consignee hap
pened to visit an antique furniture
factory. The manufacturer was at
that time busily engaged in making an
tique grandfathers clocks and found
the oak in question to answer his pur-
pose very nicely because it eliminated
the work Of boring worm holes by
hand. The parcel was disposed Of at
a premium and a profitable connection
was established.

TREATING EN- RIGHT

That ought to become as common
an expression out here as Treating
'em Rough" The other day in Boise
several eastern men, representing
very large financial interests, making
quiet investigation Of Idaho possi-
bilities, were entertained at lunch
con. Several short speeches were
made. Lieutenant Governor Bald
ridge, representing the absent gov
ernor, welcomed the visitors and as
sured them that any investment in
Idaho would be fully protected and
treated with the utmost fairness.
"That is different from the story
we have heard back in Boston and
New York." one of the visitors re-
marked. This man, by the way, is a
millionaire and handles enormous
sums of other peoples money as well
as his own.
eve can easily determine your
physical or material advantages" he
proceeded, "and figure with fair ac-
curacy on the prospects Of returns
on any investment We might make
here, but we cannot read the minds
of your people. Their fairness, the
protection they vouchsafe, is fully as
necessary for us to know about as it
is for us to know about your resour-
ces. without that We could not come
in, regardless Of the other. Your
spokesman's assurances are most
gratifying"
This again supplies the great les
son that Idaho, sorely needing this
new influx Of capital, which means
more and substantial population, can
well afford to impress the fact, by
decent treatment of the investor we
already have, that fairness and pro-
lection will be accorded all others
who come with legitimate intent and
with square dealing as their motto.

Nazareth BecomInq Modern.

A garage at Nazareth rather Jars on
the susceptibilities Of Christian people
who have great reverence for the
little Palestinian village where Christ
spent his boyhood days. Such, how
ever. is the case, rendered necessary by
the increasing tide of automobile traf-
flc. The new repair shop is in charge
Of Arabs, Syrians. or Jews who learned
the trade In the United States. Even
in Nazareth, which In other respects Is
little different In its seclusion and re-
pose from that day twenty centuries
ago when the Savior sent forth the
message Of brotherhood and equality
which transformed the world, there
are modern garages and machine
shops. They make a striking contrast
with the poor homes Of the natives,
and are within short distance Of the
site Of the abode which once was the
carpenter shop Of the Master Of Men.

GIVE NEW LIFE TO PINS
Purpose Of Cleaning and Re-
finishing Thorn.

That tlme-worn and still unanswered
question, "What becomes Of all the old
pinsf" seems TO be in a fair way Of
being answered in New York city at
least, for company has been formed
for the purpose of refnishing used
pins and restoring them to their orig
inal newness. Not that representa-
tives Of the company are to patrol the
streets gathering up discarded pins,
but It Is said that In some of the large
dressmaking establishments the pin
bill sometimes reaches as high as ST.
500 annually. Used only once, the
pins are removed and allowed to drop
on the floor, where they are swept
away. Even If gathered up at the
close Of the day. the pins are too dirty
to be used again on fine fabrics. The
company mentioned purposes to effect
q saving In the pin item by taking all
the used pins, cleaning and ref1nishing
them
More than year of experimentation
was necessary in order to discover a
process for satisfactorily reflnishing
the pins. At first It was thought that
II the pins simply were gathered by
means Of magnet instead Of sweep
Ing, they could be used again without
rednishing, but even then 1t was found
that the pins retained enough Of the
floor dust to soil white fabrics and
make their use Improbable A proc
ess was finally discovered, however,
whereby the refnished pins can be re-
turned to the users at half the cost Of
the new product and still the reflnish-
Ing company will be enabled to make
fair working profit.

Life Saved by Pup.

Only a common hound but he fought
a maddened bull to save his eight
year-old masters life and won. The
boy was resting under tree in field
near Sunbury, Pa, when the infuri-
ated bull saw him. The animal
charged and tossed him high Into the
air. One horn sank into the child's
arm. The boy screamed with pain as
the animal dragged him across the
aeld, but no one heard except the little
dog. The pup was game, but cautious.
too, and opened his attack from the
rear. he sank his teeth into the bulls
hind leg and hung on despite violent
kicks. The bull released the little lad
to deal with the new annoyance and
the hound let 60. That was his strate-
gy. Swapping and snarling, he backed
away from the charging bull, lodging
and leading the animal away from the
boy. The little victim crawled away
under the fence and the pup at once
gave up the tight. With a final snarl,
he dashed away after his master, wag-
ging his tail proudly.

Wanted Information.

Senator Francis e. Warren Of Wyo-

one is this: Several years ago one of

heirship cases. Particulars about them
were stated clearly and fully in the
book Of estimates and all that we had

THE PONY EXPRESS

Memories of the Pony Express days
are revived by the horseback ride
in relays from St. Louis to the coast
We recall the perils of the men who
in the days far back in the mists car
ried the mail to the outposts Of civil

While the Pony Express has long
been dead as an Institution, the same
spirit of service and adventure ami
mates a far larger army of men than
were engaged in the pioneer mail de-
livery, and they encounter even
greater risks.
Those hardy pioneers have passed,
but today we read in the paper Of
some telephone operator, probably a
girl, staying at her post at hotel
fire or in flood or during terrific
snow storm that endangered the lives
of many people in their homes and
on trains and sending messages at
the peril of her own life.

MASTER.SWITCH
BETTER THAN GUNS
Burglars Drop Loot and Clean Out
When Lights Are Snapped
On, Says FaurOt.

"A home where the head-of-the
houses bedroom is equipped with 6
master-switch which will throw on al
the electric lights throughout the en-.
tire house is better protected against
burglars than one where there is 8
whole arsenal of firearms loaded and
ready for action" said Joseph A
Faurot, Third Deputy Police Commits
sioner of the New York Police De-
partment when recently asked what
he considered the most effective
himself and his property. Commits
sioner Faurot should know, for he has
been in police work for more than
26 years, a considerable portion Of
that time being spent as a member
of the Departments Detective Bureau
staff.
1.-THE reason for my saying this, y
continued Commissioner Faurot, SIS
that burglar breads being seen more
than anything else. When house in
to which he has broken is suddenly
flooded with light the loot he came FOR
Is cast to the winds; he Is In mad
rush to get out. If he is seen he may
be identified and if apprehended he
stands a good chance of going to
prison. Also, the burglar knows that
once he has been seen at work he had
better move on to another place as all
the detectives will be watching for
man whose appearance tallies with
the description given by the house
holder who saw him.
Further, one of these master
switches Is the best possible means Of
waking the other members of the
family and bringing them on the run
to find out what the trouble Is. The
danger of being shot by burglar, ex-
lists, of course, but it is not very
great, for the housebreaker who has
been plying his trade for any time az
all does not go armed. He makes the
quickest getaway he knows how to
and keeps on going until he has found
some friendly darkness in which he
may lose himself.
GAS a matter of fact the brilliant
electric lighting used on streets today
Is the best means of combating
crimes of violence that we have. Cen
orally speaking crooks keep as far as
possible from brightly lighted streets
and only work at their trade on dark,
poorly lighted side streets. The
chances of being caught are too great
where there is light and they know IT..
Further, few small electric lights
kept burning all night in house is
an excellent way to discourage bur-
lars from paying you visit. They
prefer to tackle house that is COM
pletely dark. But don't forget and /
leave these lights going when you go
out in the day time. Lights left on
for hours at time during the day are
a sure sign to the sneak theft that you
are away and that is just what he is
hunting fora home with nobody a
round to disturb him."
