THE OLD MAN.
Boy’s, when you speak of your
father don’t call him the “old man.”
Of course you are older now than
when you were taught to call him
“father.” You are much smarter
than you were then, you are much
more manly looking, your clothes
fit you better, your hat has a mod
ern shape and your hair is combed
differently, in short, you are more
of a “flyer” than you were then.
Your father has a last year’s coat,
a two-year old hat and a vest of
still older pattern. He can’t write
such an elegant note as you can
and all that, but don’t call him the
“old man.” Call him “father.” For
years he has been hustling
around to get things together, he
has been held to the thorny path of
uphill industry, and the brightest
half of his life has gone from him
for ever. He loves you, though he
goes along without saying much
abut it, therefore be not so ungrate
ful.
FEW WOUNDED DIE.
In predicting that the rate of
mortality among the wounded in
t lis war will be the lowest known
in history, sir Williams Osier is
basing his faith solely upon the im
provement made in the medical
service. While the great military
nations have competed in more de
structive weapons, to a large ex
t ?nt they have neutralized one an
other’s efforts by providing better
care of the wounded and sick.
Through barbarous neglect in
the Napoleonic days, 400,000
French soldiers died of disease in
the Peninsular campaign to 60,
000 killed in the battle. In the
Foer war, in the British force of
208,526, 5,776 men were killed in
battle and 2,108 died of wounds, a
total of 7,884, or about 14 per
thousand a year, while 14,120 died
of disease, or 25.58 per thous
and a year. In the war with Rus
sia the Japanese lost in action 54
per thousand a year, an enormous
proportion, and 25 per thousand
a year died of disease, about the
same as the British rate in South
America. But the most striking
fact in the Japanese records was
the low rate of mortality among the
wounded collected and transported
to the rear, which fell to little more
th in 3 per cent. In Manchura one
third of the wounded within a
month returned to the ranks.—

GAY Lift IN THE CITY.
It's about time to put the kibosh
on all this talk about keeping the
boys on the farm. Why should
a boy or young man want to stay
on a farm when he can go to the
city. and. after tramping through
the heat, or cold, or rain, or snow
for five or six weeks, land a fine,
fat, soft snap of a job as a motor
man? Then all he will have to do
will be to get up at about 5 a.m.,
winter and summer, swallow a
boarding house breakfast that a
hog on his father’s farm would1
spurn, dash merrily to the car
barn, take the abuse of a slave
driving car starter, and go gaily to
work. Oh, what pleasure to stand
all day in a vestibule that is per
fumed with the smells of the un
washed bodies of just-over immi
grant laborers, on their way to
wcrk in a sewer! Think of the
fragrance of all grades of tobacco
in cigarettes, in cigars and in pipes
of many degrees of strength! It
is simply great to breathe this spi
cy air all day.. In the meanwhile
one hears the compliments of the
ladies and gentlemen who do not
happen to think of signaling when
they want to get off, but who right
fully feel that the motorman should
have known, if he was not such a
fat-headed lob, and who do not
hesitate to tell him so. Oh yes, its
great. Every farmer boy ought to
leave home at once and dash to the
city. Think of the wages he’ll get!
Why, at the end of a month, after
paying for board, room, laundry,
clothes and uniforms, union dues
and assessments, he'll have almost
enough left to go to a movie show.
But he probably won’t go, because
he’ll be so all-in and so full of the
poisonous reek that he inhaled all
day, that he will tumble into bed
to forget it until the alarm clock
calls him to begin all over again.
Junction City News.

Strange Woman.
"Was It a quiet wedding?” “Decid
edly! Both the bride and the groom
were bo scared they could hardly
speak above a whisper.”
Make Our Own Troubles.
"We talk so much and we think so
much of the trouble we have with
others that we more than half persuade
ourselves that if everybody else were
just right we could get on easily in
life; but the fact is that more than
half of our troubles with others grow
out of our own faults and failures, and
aw not due to the faults or failures of
other people at all.”

Ancient Cult of the Flycatcher.
Beelzebub was the fly god of Ekron
(referred to In 11 Kings 1:2, 3, 4 and
10). The great god Baal was some
times worshiped as the "lord of the
fly,” as he who drives off the flies
The flies were then and are now man’s
worst enemies in Palestine and Egypt.
We remember well how we had to be
continually fighting them Off with fans
when we were traveling in those lands.
The flies settled on the eyes of the
children and literally sucked out their
eyesight.—Christian Herald.
Dickens the Humorist.
Only the great humorists survive
their own day and generation. There
Is nothing that fades so quickly as
humor. What our grandfathers
laughed at is likely to seem very flat
to us. But the humor of a genius like
Dickens Is as fresh and stimulating
today as when he wrote his books.
It springs from his knowledge of char
acter, and Is founded on the universal
experiences of life, aiul humor like
this does not die.
LIKE THE ORDINARY SAILOR
Choice of Cup Defender’s Name
Proves That Yachtsmen Are Not
Above Superstition.
Perhaps a sloop yacht would sail
just as fast if you called her the Jag
or Late to Dinner. Her 1 inos and
her canvas would he unaffected, and
that is all that seems to count, as
landsmen have a notion that the
name is important. Eight letters
have appeared in the name of each
cup winner in the last dozen years—
Defender, Vigilant, Columbia and
Reliance. And if the Herreshoff
yacht, built by the New York club's
syndicate, wins out in the trial race
and is chosen to defe: d the < up, she
will bear the name Resolute, which
has the eight-letter mascot.
Old-timers will remeniln r that the
Puritan had seven letters, and the
Mayflower and the Volunteer nine
each. They may doubt whether eight
letters will help us win against Lip
ton’s Shamrock IV. The name Res
olute is already borne by the flag
ship of the New York Yacht club, an
auxiliary sloop. A schooner of the
same name was the winner of sev
eral prizes some thirty years ago.
All Americans will keep their eyes
on the Resolute, and will wish her
well. She will be beaten, in any
case, only by a better boat, and we
have a fixed national conviction that
a better boat cannot be built in Brit
ish yards.

CAN WE UNDO THE MISCHIEF?
“The college girl is inaccurate,”
says the adviser to women at Cornell
university. “About one in one hun
dred knows how to report accurately
what she has observed.”
Harvard graduates fail to get
down to business. Harvard under
graduates can’t write a correct let
ter. College men generally are duf
fers at putting ideas in plain Eng
lish. New York school teachers
break all rules of grammar when
they take pen in hand to demand
their pay. New York high school
students fall down fifty-six ways on
the spelling of “isosceles.” Every
twenty-four hours brings some fresh
evidence of the handicap of school
ing.

manual on “How to Succeed Though

PARADOXICAL.
“What are those two boys squar
ing off for?”
“I suppose they are squaring off
for a round.”
THE REASON.
“Why don’t they put fire escapes

“Because the whole church is
built to be a fire escape.”
QUITE NATURAL.
“What was the fight about in the
meeting?”
“It was about the best way to pre
serve party harmony.”
