It is usually after a man explodes
that he finds he was not loaded,
The friends it drains your pocket
to keep are a worthless luxury.
Be merciful to your friends and
associates. Keep your troubles to
yourself.
Some men keep on being failures
simply because they have got in
the habit.
When you win your way into the
good graces of some people it takes
a scrap to get out.
The fellow who makes a fool of
himself is seldom satisfied unless
h ; works overtime at the job.
Most of the corners of life are
sharp, but the man who keeps
straight ahead will avoid most of
them. __
A friend! What is a friend! My
friend is he who laughs with me;
who weeps with me; one who en
courages, rebukes; who eats terra
pin and turkey or bread and salt
with me; who comes to me at the
wedding feast or stands with me
beside the coffin, who listens to my
hopes, fears, my aims, my despair;
who rejoices in my successes; who
does not despise me in my misfor
tunes.—Chicago Tribune.
European statemen afe still
quarreling about how started it,
but the war goes merrily on and
the death lists grow. To the men
who are dead it makes little differ
< n ;e now who is to blame for some
thing they couldn’t help. The he
roes of war are those who die for
t ie Cause, whatever that is, all
mough, so often, the men who are
safe at home during the time of
battle get most of the credit.
If the man who invented the
names for English battleships is
still alive he must have a mighty
poor opinion of himself. War ves
sels bearing such high-sound and
awe-inspiring titles as “Irresist
able,” “Implacable" and “Indomita
ble’’ have gone to Davy Jones’
locker just as rapidly as though
they had oeen named the “Simp,’’
the “Boob” and the "Sucker."
The announcement that pesti
lence has come to one of the na
tions engaged in the European
conflict need not be surprising.
Pestilence and famine always
stalk over a land devasted by the
sword. War means a letting down
of the bars to all the eyils that in
or dinary time may be kept at a
Eufe distance by the vigilance of a
united people. War separates a
nation and those who, in peaceful
times, would be home to fight
the enemies of peacr, are engaged
in the fight against human enemies.
There is no time to combat disease
when a nation is attacked from
without and, worse than all, there
is no money to wage such a fight.
No war has yet been waged with
out the after horror of pestilence.
But men who instigate wars do net
think of these things; nor do they j
care. This war has demonstrated
more than any other that the right'
of the non-combatants are nil. j
CIVIL WAR IN THE CAB ’•

“You," began Cockrill, addressing his
fireman, and brandishing a leaky oil
can before his
nose, “you are a
greasy-faced, soot
covered, pock
marked liar. You
are almost an un
desirable citizen."
"And you," re
torted Dorgan,
calmly scratching
the remaining
match on the seat
of his trousers
with skill and suc
cess, “are a fake
engineer. Go get
a Job driving a
truck. Throttle-pull on a Brooklyn per
ambulator. Hire out to the push-cart
trust. Bah!
"You run this old ■cow-killer Into the
turntable pit one day. You forget you
ever heard of injectors the next. You
let her water fall two feet below the
glass, and she drops a crown-sheet.
"And then you try to Adam It oft on
this poor Eve," pointing to the fifth
button of his waistcoat. "I get called
up on the carpet, and accused of negli
gence on duty. And me peacefully and
Innocently eating lunch when It hap
pened.”
“Yes, eating lunch," Cockrill went
on, trying to be calm and Judicial;
"eating It on that very seat where
you’re sitting now. ’Twas your fault,
and you know It; and If I didn’t de
fend you, and plead for your Job with
tears in my eyes, you’d been fired,
you good-for-nothing loafer. Then you
go and blame it all on me!’’
"Weren’t you under the engine?” ask
ed Dorgan, with frigid politeness.
"Hadn’t you Just left the cab? Was
I any where around when you left?”
“You were. As I remarked a min
ute ago, you were sitting In the same
position you now occupy."
“I was not,” said Dorgan.
"You were,” retorted Cockrill; "and
if you get me any madder than 1 am
I'll drop this can and lick the ever
lasting blazes out of you."
“Yes, you’d drop the can," said Dor
gan scornfully, "and pick up the shov
el. You couldn't lick a stick of candy.
You’re wrong about my blaming It on
you, anyhow.
"Our genial and lovable superinten
dent, John Flathead McKinney—worse
luck to him—asked me distinctly who
was to blame, me or you; and who did
I say? Who did I say, you ungrate
ful, bum engineer?"
"You said me, of course," respond
ed Cockrlll. “You turned and betrayed
me and lied about me, and I ought
to have you fired. I think I will yet."
The rattle of mutilated English over
came even the sharp hissing of steam
in the engine-«ab. Fireman and eng!
neer were having it out for the sixty
first time, and it was now four weeks
since the locomotive had blown off an
upper sheet.
The roundrouse door swung open on
creaky hinges, and attention to duty
prevented further war for the mo
ment. Cockrlll opened the throttle,
and the big engine glided softly into
her stall.
In the perpetual dusk of the round
house a fat, red-faced man picked his
way among the tracks and over the
pilots. It was Superintendent McKin
ney.
“Where’s Cockrlll ?’’ he asked of a
wiper.
“He Just, came in, sir,” answered
that menial person. “His engine is on
the last track.”
McKinney strode forward, and Cock
rlll saw him. coming.
“Shut up, now,” he cautioned the
suddenly mute Dorgan. "Here's the
old snake himself, with more ques
tions to ask.”
The cinders crunched under McKin
ney’s tread. "Are you up there, Cock
rlll?’’ he asked.
"I am,” replied the engineer.
"So am I,” put in Dorgan, his sar
casm totally lost on the florid super
intendent, who climbed heavily into
the cab.
“Now,” began McKinney Judicially,
when he got his breath, "tor the laBt
time, I want to find out about that
crown-sheet. That thing cost one hun
dred and eighty dollars to fix up, and
I want to find out why it happened,
and which of you let it happen?"
“Mr. McKinney," Dorgan broke in
contritely, "there's no use obscuring
the issue, as they Bay in law. I am
to blame. I did It. Mr. Cockrlll here
had nothing to do with it any more
than you. If there’s any punishment,
I deserve it, and I’m ready to take
It”
Before he had finished the “t in
"it," Cockrlll’a voice filled the cab.
“Mr. McKinney, this young fellow is
giving you the finest example of loy
alty to a comrade you ever heard of.
He is deliberately lying to save me.
“The truth of the me .ter Is that Dor
gan was eating lunch in the station
when the sheet blew off. It was due
solely to my own negligence, and I’m
ready to suffer the consequences."
There was a brief pause. The si
lence waB broken only by the cluck
cluck of the air-pump. McKinney
turned right-about face, and laid his
hand on the rail. A half grin wrin
kled his face and deepened its ruddy
bloom.
"You two are the cheerfulest liars I
ever saw,” he said. "Don’t let it hap
pen again." Thereupon he descended
from the cab.

i is the PLACE to find the QUALITY 1 like at PRICES I can
afford to pay. *
By buying for our two stores and paying no rent, as we
own our own building, we can naturally do business on a less
margin of profit.
A comparison of our prices with others will soon convince
you of the truth ol this statement. We do not ask you to ac
cept it otherwise.
Write us today about the pieces you will need when you
clean house. We know the things you have been wishing for are
here. And the prices won't be as much as you thought. De
livery can be made after the cleaning is over, if you so desire.

Human Factors in Good Service
'T'HERE are three parties to each telephone
connection—the party who calls, the trained
operator, and the party who answers.
The telephone user shares with the operator
the responsibility of good service.
Accuracy in calling, promptness in answer
ing, clear and deliberate talking and patience
on the part of the user and the operator, are essentials
of good service.
In making 29,000,000 calls daily, millions of tele
phone users become integral parts in the Bell system
and contribute to the success of the service.
