A Sudden Convert

SUuutn convert
 By Phillip C. Rockwell l met today Joseph D. Slater, Confirmed old batch and woman
 hater; Aye, worse than that, a woman
 batter; His features wore smile. Although l wish he'd died a-born-
 ing, I stopped the scamp and said,
 Good morning. Why is a grin your face adorning? Iris not your wonted style" Said he, To-day a smile I'm wear
 ing Because. as all men should, I'm
 sharing In jury work; instqel of swearing I gladly take my turn, Our courts need men of good,
 sound reason To give up work and serve a sea-
 son; To dodge it is a civic treason That makes my spirit burn" If a good memory I'm owning" Said l, You always have been
 groaning When you were drawn you have
 been moaning And saying Love O Mike!' Now listen. Joe! I'm from Missouri! Why is it you're not in fury?" "Wcll," said Joe. there are, on this
 jury, Three women I don't like"

Special Camera Shows
 Exact Size of Waves

Berlin, Aug, 10 P)-Reports about ocean waves fifteen yards and more in height says the social poli- fischer Dienst, are to be classed with fairy tales. The length and height of waves, always a source of much speculation, have now been accur- ately determined by means of a spe- cially constructed camera, according to the paper, and ordinary waves are from two to four yards high.
 They may raise to nine yards In a so-called high sea and even attain from ten 10 twelve yards in violent gale. Then length of the largest wave, that is from crest to crest, is described as about 300 yards while the time in which one wave replaces another is estimated at twenty sec- onds, The speed of a large wave, therefore, is about twenty yards a second, or that of an express train.

. LOVE THAT'S EASILY .SWAYED
Think Well Before You Come to Decision Whether It's
Question Of Business or Friendship or Love- Listen
All Suggestions and Weigh Them Carefully.

Poor Beth, far away from her
fiance and very inpressionable 70
this near-at-hand advice, finally
broke the engagement.
It's doubtful whether Beth viii
ever marry IL she listens 70 the
advice Of Cousin Jane and Cousin
Eliza. And in their opinion there's
not a man on earth quite good
enough for Beth.
It's well to listen patiently to
advice and suggestions. It's well
to weigh them well for what
they're worth. But unless you're
thoroughly convinced Of the logic,
common sense and sound practical
wisdom OF suggestion. discard Il
and follow the dictates Of yonf
own good sense.
OF course parents and guard
ians placed in authority over us
know well as q rule what y best
for us. Their counsel should be
needed and followed when this
is humanity possible. In blindly
following suggestions and advice
Of .'those unconcerned'' In ones
affairs, except SIS sell iappointe'
advisers, the danger lies.
It's great quality and worth
elitiyating TO think md gct Ii
dependently. after Weighing mo-
tives and the results Of ones
actions carefully and well. Un-
less you think and act sturdily,
according to your convictions,
you may be swayed into actual
disloyaity. And happiness will
never be safely IN your grasp.
Some one said there never was
a marriage. that was entirely
satisfactory to all the persons
unconcerned.
Heed every ones advice and
you'll never marry the man who
interests you. Some kind friend
viii ten and quite sincerely
that he's too old; another that
he's far too poor to give you al
the luxuries you should have.
Another remembers that he had
q distant relative once, who wasn't
4 credit to the family. And 30
on.
Think well before you come to
q decision whether it's q ques-
ton Of business or friendship or
love. Listen to all suggestions
and weigh them carefully.
But when you make up your
rnind-be true to that decision.
Be loyal in the face Of all oppo-
sition, to the friend or fiance
whom your heart and head In
dorse.
