A private knocker is a public
nuisance.
Prosperity often depends on the
things we don't do.
It’s easier to make enemies than
it is to shake them.
Some people manage to see their
duty in time to dodge it.
The fool imagines that the world
is laughing with him when it laughs
at him. _
It might be comparatively easy
to recognize the Mexican Govern
ment if it would only stand still a
minute. _
The American syndicate that fi
nanced the Madero revolution will
never pay more than 20 cents on
the dollar.
There’s no use talking about it—
you can't be a winner unless you
work. This applies to ever knowr
field of human indeavor.
Our idea of a physical marvel is
a human being who does not have
any of the symptoms in most of the
patent medicine circulars.
The announcement that the
White House will be “dry" for four
years should make prohibition
states better satisfied with their
weary lots.
A man should be ashamed, says
the New York Journal, when he
tells his wife a falsehood and she
believe it. But he isn’t ashamed:
he is encouraged.
We read that the "Titanic's sis
ter ship is to be absolutely unsink
able." Seems to us that the
"Titanic" was advestised unsink
able just a few weeks before that
lamentable "maiden trip."
Uncle Joe Gannon has arrived
home and says he is not out of
politics but he will remain out of
office. He doesn’t need to saj
that; the people settled that ques
tion last November. Uncle Joe is
an anomaly in this day and age of
the world. Personally, he is £
d ;ar old cuss, but politically well
the less said the better.
1IU IDtAl HOMAN.
Jn reply to the query. “What
constitutes the ideal woman for £
wife?" which he sent broadcast
among the young men of Hanford
C .lifornia. the pastor of the First
Methodist church received more
than a score of descriptions, but
considers the following the best ol
all: “The ideal woman for a wife
should have these qualifications:
The voice of Melba, the talent of
Paderewski, the figure of Venus,
the grace of a Sylph, the vivacity
of a coryphee, eyes like the soft
glow of a moonlight evening, an
alabaster-like complextion, the
■virtues of a nun. the charm of
Cleopatra, the meekness cf Moses,
the patience of Job, the forbear
ance of Lazarus, the zeal of a Tro
jan, the constancy of Caesar's
wife, the capabilities of a char-1
woman, the purse of Hetty Green,
and hair of her own.’1
NAMES WELL KNOWN TO HIM
“Earthquake Babies’’ of San Francisco
Had Cognomens With Which Mr.
Hearst Was Familiar.
William Randolph Hearst decided
immediately after the famous earth
quake and fire in San Francisco that
one of his missions should be the care
of the “earthquake babies." as the
youngsters born during the excite
ment were called. Many of the moth
ers died or were lost, in the falling
buildings, and the Hearst relief com
mittee was compelled to give the kids
names as well as care.
The newspaper men close to Hear, t
exhausted all the Merthas, Johns. Will
iams and Graces and then began tin ru
ing the babies after distinguished
Hearst writers of both sexes. There
were many named Arthur Brisbane,
Homer Davenport. Dorothy Dix. S. S
Chamberlain, John _ Temple Graves,
and so on down the line.
One evening Mr. Hearst sauntered
into the offices of his relief commit
tee, and a proud manager showed him
the list of babies that had been saved
and helped. The big publisher looked
the list over onee or twice in a rath
er puzzled manner. Then, with a
twinkle in his eye, he looked up and
asked:
“What is this, anyway, the pay
roll?”—The Popular Magazine.
TWO VALUES TO CERTIFICATE
Obtained From Teacher to Secure Po
sition as Caddy, It Also Serves as
Btisines Recommendation.
The certificate of character that
wins a boy a position on the golf links
very often serves a double purpose.
When the life of a eaddy palls that
eame certificate is found useful in se
■uring an office position. Some-em
ployers do not know what to make of
hat unusual recommendation.
"What's this?” said one man sus
piciously to the boy who had applied
'or a situation. "It, doesn't say a word
ibout your writing or spelling or in
lustry; it just states that you can be
•elied upon as a faithful caddy. What
has that got to do with holding a
steady job?"
"A whole lot,” said the boy. "My
earlier signed that. '-Most of the
-haps up at. the links have certificates
of character from their teachers. If
i fellow can be depended upon up
‘here, why can’t he be depended upon
down here?”
That was an argument, that fetched
that particular employer and it has
fetched many another man to whom
similar references have been pre
sented.
George Meredith's Faith.
The English dramatist, Alfred
^utro. visited New York recently, and
n speaking of the late George Mere
lith, with whom he was closely ac
luainted, said:
"One incident of George Meredith's
ife has always impressed me. He
vas about to undergo an operation,
ind had been told by his physician
hat the danger was considerable. Me
aid nothing about it, however. The
light before he was to go under the
:nife, he invited several of his dear
st friends to dine with him. It was
■tie of the jolliost little dinners of his
ife. The next day he was operated
lpon, and lie came through it safely.
\fter it was all over, he was asked if
te were not afraid.
“ ‘No,’ he replied, I have the great
st faith in the kindliness of nature,
felt that, whatever happened to this
lattered old cage of mine, that the
ittle bird fluttering inside it would
oma to no harm.’ ”—Youth’s Compan
on.
Cholera and Tobacco.
For a long time it has been noted
hat smoker* are relatively immune
o certain epidemic sicknesses, espe
cially cholera. Dr. Wenck, professor
■f the Imperial Institute of Berlin,
las found that by manipulating ci
;ars in water containing 1,500,000 chol.
>ra baccili per cubic centimeter of
wenty-four hours. The same doctor
las proved that tobacco smoke rapid
•y kills the cholera germ. In a tofcac
•o factory in Hamburg not a single
jase of cholera was found among the
workers during the last great epidem
ic, though they lived in districts most
affected by the plague.—Harper's
Weekly.
Old London Parks.
London's pajrks in the old da.vs were
great places for sport, although even
then the spectacle of a naked runner
-was—well, unusual. Coach and foot
races were comparatively common,
and in 1654 Cromwell himself was
present in Hyde Park at “a hurling of
r great ball by fifty Cornish gentle
men of onp side and fifty on the oth
er,” the silver ball played with be
ing the prize for the victors. And
Cromwell himself tried his hand at
coaching in the park with disastrous
results, for the horses ran away and
my lord protector was pitched into
the roadway, narrowly escaping se
rious hurt from his pistol, which went
off in his pocket.
Cement and Sentiment.
A home-builder in California hit up
on a charming idea when he caused
his little sou to make the impression
of his hands in the wet cement of the
walk before his door. Although the
imprint was made in 1SSs7, the out
lines of the litt'e hands are perfectly
clear, and w ill remain as a dainty bou
cnlr of the boy’s play days. It is
just such touches of sentiment as-this,
says the Strand Magazine, that make
the difference between a house and a
home.
MENTAL PRuULbS Uf WOMEN
Mistake to Assume That Because It
Seems So, the Majority of Sex
Thinks Superficially.
Take, for instance, the assumption
that most women think superficially
and with less logic than men, which
Is probably a fact. Ward (Lester F.)
says they reach conclusions by intui
tion, a sort of short-cut method evolv
ed by the emergencies of their lives.
Yet any woman knows from her child
hood that men prefer to do her think
ing for her, and will disapprove of
her if she sets up an opinion against
theirs. In primitive ages not only \v;<
thinking unnecessary for a woman, be
yond the narrow range of her tradi
tional duties, but it was an actual Im
propriety.
Now, only a genius, a reformer, or
a mad person does what will be disap
proved of. Until the last half century
marriage was the only career open to
women—a thinking woman was not
attractive to men—therefore the as
tute young woman either stopped rea
soning as far as possible when she
came to years of discretion, or con
cealed her mental operations. Many a
woman who attains her ends by
coquetry and hysteria is, like the par
rot who couh. talk, “keepin’ up a
devil of a thinkin’ all the while;” and
will confide to another woman, who
is in the secret, a keen analysis of the
issue involved.—Mary Roberts Coo
lidge.
PROVED FACT TO AUDIENCE
Orator’s Claim to Originality Borne
Out by the Evidence He Was
Able to Present.
The birth of a new political party
brought forth a number of new anec
dotes that are always ready on occa
sion. “This pretty tale of the former
governor of Virginia." e 1 a story
teller in the cloakroom, “might also
have application to our dieting ished
colleague, Victor Murdock.
“Governor Andrew J. Montague was
addressing a gathering of farmers re
cently in his race for congress from
the third district. The farmers used
their bandannas frequently, for it was
a warm day. Finally Mr. Montague
drew from one of his pockets a white
linen handkerchief and bpgan remov
ing the prespiration from his fore
head.
“‘Where's your bandanna?’ yelled
one of the assemblage.
“The orator hesitated, but only for
a moment.
“‘Gentlemen.’ he said with a low
bow to his audience, ‘you have only
to look at my head to realize that I
am the original bandanna.’
“Laughter was followed by round
after round of applause, and the sandy
haired candidate hud his audience
with him for the rest of the after
noon.”—National Magazine.
In the Days of Prosperity.
Discussing the high cost of living,
Henry S. Oliphant, a Dos Moines bank
er, said frankly at a banquet:
“The price of a commodity is what
it will bring, and, when monopoly is
once secured, that price mounts pretty
high. Look at oil, look at meat.
■ "Hut all this spells prosperity. I
said to be a trust magnate the other
day:
“ ‘I suppose your wife goes to
church to see what other women are
wearing?’
“ 'She used to,' he replied, ‘in the
foolish old days of competition, but
she now goes to let other women see
what she is wearing.’ ”
Precepts of a President.
The words which John Adams wrote
;») his wife years before he knew he
would some day be the second presi
dent of the Upited States and that the
son to which he referred would also
some day be president, are good
watchwords for any parent.
“The education of our children,” he
wrote, “is never out of my mind Train
them to virtue. Habituate them to in
dustry, activity and spirit. Make them
consider every vice as shameful and
unmanly.”
Great Familiarity.
W. Somerset Maugham, the English
playwright, was praising in New, York
an historical drama that had failed
“Yet it was singularly accurate.''
said Mr. Mr. .gham, regretfully. "As
I told the author on the first night, he.
displayed as much familiarity with the
subject as the king who kissed tin
parlor maid.”
