of the enemy could liave saved.

STATIONS FOB UNEMPLOYED
Tile New York committee on in
Justiial and social service far the
unemployed is to open a "sorvice
station" where temporary work
cau be had at all times and neces
sary assistance given in preparation,
for more permanent employment.
George Gordon Battle is tlia chair
man of the committee and other
members have been selected from
"all religious demomiiiations." No
cuari'y. it is announced, is involved
in 'he plan, "but co-opera
tive workshops for mtn to make
wages while receiving such social
service as vocational adjustment, a
specialized employment bureau, and
the best of influences and fellow
ship." la a broad sense, at least,
this is certainly a chartable un
dertaking, and it seems to' point
a way toward mitigating the prob
lem wnich normally faces from 100
000 to 200,000 persons all the time
in New York City alone.

The Jumping Frog Story.
It was in the Angel Camp bar that ]
Mark Twain heard from an ex-pili't j
called Ren Coon the jumping frog
story. Clemens related it to Artexmis j
Ward, who urged him to write It, to be |
included in a book that Ward was pub- j
lishing. Clemens dallied and sent it i
to the publishers too late, but they
banded it over to a dying paper called I
the Saturday Press, which gladly gave j
It pride of place In its columns on
Nov. IS, lS(!o. Professor Sidgwiek
synopsized it in Greek form for his
book "Greek Prose Composition." and
thus arose the legend that the jump
ing frog story originated in ancient
Greece, a legend in which Clemens him
self believed till Professor Sidgwiek |
undeceived him in 1S99 by telling him
that the Greek version was merely a
translation of Clemens' own work.
How Jefferson Dressed.
In dress President Jefferson was gov
erned by comfort rather than by ele
gance. "Pride costs more than hun
ger, thirst and cold," he used to say,
and as he lived in an epoch that wit
nessed a mighty revolution ' In men's
clothing as well as in men's govern
ment. inonarcliy'3 queues and velvets
giving way to short hair and the useful, '
ungainly pantaloon, only the watchful- i
ness of his body servant saved him |
from unbelievable anachronisms of cos- j
tume Indeed, in later life at MontK
cello, where this democrat ruled abso- j
lute king, he often wore the garments ,
iof several different periods together,
like superimposed geological strata or
the historic remains in the Roman
forum.—Centnry.
Inspiration.
"Now, son, take (his message quick
ly, will you?"
"Sure, boss," said the messenger boy.
"Just Imagine you are a dauntless
hero on the villain's trail."—Pittsburgh
