A credulous woman is one who
believes a dentist when he says he
will not hurt her.
Some men imagine they are re
spectable just because they wear a
clean collar every day.
' Pride is said to go before a fall.
Anyway, a woman’s pride goes be
fore the tears begin to fall,
The only redeeming feature of
Mr. Hughes' candidacy is the
strong probablity that he won't be
elected. __
President Wilson was going to
tour the country, but since Mr.
Hughes made his trip it is unnces
sary, as he made the doubtful
states sure Democratic.
An expert says that five cents
worth of bread has more nutriment
than fifteen cents worth of apple
pie. This, however, is not expect
ed to change the average school
boy’s taste for pie.
The reports from the Hughes
• trip across the continent are all to
the effect that he is making an un
favorable impression on the coun
try. The people are getting tired
of a continuous scold, and they just
laugh when he makes a fierce at
tack on the president. The coun
try will giye Mr. Hughes the
"Laugh” in November.
THE REWARD OE WORK.
Work is good for us. The most
idle are the most unhappy and of
the least importance in the world.
There are those who plume them
selves on not being obliged to labor,
who think that stamps them as su
perior to those who labor. They
are greatly mistaken. The man
who works for his day’s wages and
carries his dinner pail is of far
more importance than any idler.
The man who wears blue jeans,
whose hands show familiar ac
quainance with toil, need not look
with envy on the idle rich, who
walks as if his feet scorned the
street, or leans back in his car
riage. The appearance of ease is
always greater than the reality, for
idleness is not conductive to hap
piness.
No matter how great one’s
wealth, he needs not spend all his
lime in idleness, says the Milwau
kee Journal. There are plenty of
ways in whi;h he may employ a
portion of his time in things of use
to the community. One whose
min 1 is not occupied by useful
thoughts is likely to be filled with
discontent, envy, jealousy, averice
and other evil qualities that bring
unhappiness in their train. The
idle man is not living up to the best
that he might be. Then work.
Keep your mind and your hands
busy at useful employment. Work
help', one forget troubles and pains.
Work gives one better health of
body and mind. .Honor your work
and it will honor you.

FIRST TO BUILD TRENCHES
Romans Instituted System of field
fortification^ Which Are Used by
the Armies Today.
The Romans, who were the first to
make a real science and art of war,
were responsible for one of the prin
cipal features in western Europe—the
fortified frontier. This does not mean
the ordinary fortified frontier aB it
was known' up to 1914—a series of
strong fortified camps with unin
trenched gaps between them. It was
in southwestern Germany that the
Romans built, as a protection against
the inroads of Germans barbarians,
what was the prototype of the line
of trenches which today runs from
Switzerland to the North sea. And
just as the German trenches in
France and Belgium are to all intents
and purposes the frontier of the Ger
man empire, so the Roman trenches—
the limes Germanicus—were part of
the frontier of the Roman empire.
The northern—known in ancient
times as the Pfahlengraben or palis
ade ditch—ran from the east bank of
the Rhine, near Bonn, across the
Taunus mountains and the Main in
a general southeasterly direction
south to near Stuttgart. It consisted
of an earthen wall, with a ditch—the
trench being, of course, on the out
side and the wall being the position
of the defenders. The wall was topped
by a palisade, and at intervals there
were towers—burgi—occupied oy
small bodies of troops, who patroled
the intervening sections of wall. At
longer intervals were stone redoubts
—castella—where larger bodies of
guards were stationed. One of the pe
culiarit' s of this frontier—which in
Its detu.ls represented, of course, an
artificial boundary through what at
the time was a very sparsely settled
country—was that a stretch of about
fifty miles in length ran in a straight
line due north. It has been referred
to in English and German writings as
one of the earliest known boundaries
on the American plan.
Near Stuttgart the Pfahlengraben
meets the Teufelsmauer—the devil's
wall—which was the name given in
medieval Germany to the other half
of the limes Germanicus—a rampart
of stone which extends a little south
of east till It meets the Danube at
Regensburg. There were forts at in
tervals to strength this, and in the
main it was apparently garrisoned
much like the Pfahlengraben.
Chance for Ugly Men.
There’s all kinds of hope for the men
In the back row—those whose facial
scenery is not attractively arranged.
A whole bunch of beauties in a Broad
way chorus declare they just love an
ugly mug, because the machinery in
its think box is always well oiled. It
is their opinion that the brain of a
pretty man could easily be carried in
thb vest pocket of a mosquito. And
by way of an argument, one girl says:
"Go right through the world's history
and you will And that the really big
men—the men who have done things
—were ugly. Women admire them be
cause they are distinctive forces, be
cause they are big and strong, both
mentally and physically; and it is a
distinct feminine quality to love and
crave for that we lack. lit wager
there are many women who have
secret admiration for this or that prize
fighter because of his physical force,
and I know lots of them who make no
bones about being ‘crazy’ about this or
that football hero.” So it’s all settled.
And it will be worse than useless for
any "pretty” men to entertain any
fond matrimonial hopes where this
beauty contingent is concerned.—New
York Times.
Mixed Vaccination.
“One of the most signal advances
recently made in the prophylactic use
of vaccines,” says /he Medical Rec
ord, "is Castellani’s method of com
bined vaccination, which is now being
used on an extensive scale in France
and Italy.” "»
Doctor Castellan! has prepared ten
combinations of vaccines, each con
taining the micro-organisms of from
three to six different diseases, fend
these are giving highly satisfactory
results. The combinations are as fol
lows:
(1) Typhoid, with two varieties of
paratyphoid, (2) Typhoid with Malta
fever. - (3) Typhoid, two paratyphoids
and Malta fever. (4) Typhoid, two
paratyphoids, bacillus asiatlcus and
bacillus columbensis. (5) The same,
with Malta fever. (6) Typhoid, two
paratyphoids and four different dysen
teries, (7) Cholera with bubonic
plague. (8) Cholera, typhoid and two
paratyphoids. (9) Cholera, bubonic
plague, typhoid and two paratyphoids.
(10) The %ime, with Malta fever.
Mere Trifle.
“War anecdotes seem to be popular
Just now,” remarked the public man.
"So they are,” answered his secre
tary.
“Hum. Couldn't you credit a few
anecdotes of that sort to me?”
"It would be rather difficult, as you
haven’t been in Europe since the war
started.”
“What difference does that make?
I’ve never been in Rome, but that
doesn't prevent me from quoting Ci
cero in my political speeches."
Fiction Becomes Solid Fact.
The romancing of Sunday supple
ment writers comes out true once in
a while in spite of everything, a case
in point being the coal production of
j Spitzbergen, one of the most desolate
i islands of the Arctic ocean, where
mines financed by American capital
| produced nearly 40,000 tons ot, coal
last year. _
