"I used to have a tight feel ing In my chest, after meals, suffered from indigestion, and waB very uncomfortable. I would feel tired, not like working.

B Reason for Webster’s Preference for Blue Daniel Webster went to Dartmouth college in a homespun suit, of which probably every thread was carded, spun and woven by his mother's hands from the wool of their own sheep. It was a dyed-in-the-wool suit and the color was Indigo blue. In the South butternut was used, but though the Yankee dames knew all about the uses of butternut hark, and the slate color that lay in the sumach berries and bark of white maple, and were not unacquainted with the various dyes that could be made to yield through the agency of vitriol and alum and copperas to ’’set" them last, the universal stand by In New England was the dye pot, par excellence, that stood In the chim ney corner of every kitchen In that region. So Webster was lltted out in Indigo blue from collar to ankle. Before reaching Hanover there came on a drenching rain. The suit held Its own, but it parted with enough dye to tinge Daniel blue from bend to foot. Websier bad a liberal stratum of sentiment In his mental mnke-up, and for some reason the color of Ills young manhood remained his favorite wear through life. He wore blue coats to Ids dying day. If any one ever snw him in one of n different color the fact has not been made of record. Cigarette Almost Did for Youthful Artist How M. Poulslinoff, the famous pianist, made bis first appearance on tbe concert platform makes an amus ing story. Although he was then barely five years old he played beautifully and ho was billed to give a Joint recital with an adult violinist. The latter went on the platform first and played a solo. Meanwhile Poulslinoff, left alone in the artist’s room, discovered that liis colleague had left a half-smoked cigarette on Hie mantelpiece. The temptation was too great, and lie smoked it. lie managed, in a sort of stupor, lie says, to get through a Beethoven sonata, hut at the very last chord he fell fast asleep, and had to be car ried off the platform, put Into a car riage and driven home. Every Hoy A' zeds a Dog Every boy should grow up with a dog, for the association thereby will make of the hoy a fairer, kinder, tru er man, some day, when he becomes a man. lie will learn to love fair ness, Justice and mercy, just os be will come to hate meanness, cruelty anil cowardice, through dolly contact with his big-eyed, shaggy-coated, un derstanding friend. If the boy un happily is vicious, intemperate, or de structive, he will find In Ills voiceless associate a wordless rebuke for the sins of his commis'sfon. It is the Inevitable way of a deg with a boy, and the dog knows, moreover, because through him the Infinite forces of the universe are functioning as freely as the wind through winter trees.—Da vid Arnold Ilalcli In the New Age Illus trated. TO PHONE DEAD: BEATS. Dahloncga telephone rates ftiG made low wit h 1110 understanding shut tiles phones irt residences are for the use only of the people liv ing therein, and others using them arc simply deadbeating the com pany for service which belongs to those who, pay. It is just as dis honest as covering childen from the railroad conductor to save your fare. If you have to save the juice of a telephone be honest enough to carry your messages ro mail the41 at l cent each. Howev er you will have to pay for the stamp. If you arc a pauper and wilt show that you need tv j hone in your business we will contrib ute one to save our regular snb- etibscribcrs being pothered. Bor rowing phone service is some what similar to a borrowed news paper. Both after being loaned ■may need laundrying. But it can’t be done. Pay fbr y° l ” talk uf walk. Dahi.onga Telephone Company. Brick Provef Durability A chimney of brick 17*i feet In height stands like a Beiilitiei over the abandoned mining town of Belmont, near Tonopnh, Nev. This chimney, erected in the boom days of the town, showed the spirit of the men who sought better living conditions in these communities that sprang up over night. Brick was hauled from Sacra mento, a distance of more than 500 miles, by means of ox teams. With standing the attacks of weather for 55 years, this chining Is lh ns good condition now as It was when erected by the gold-mad first Inhabitants of the town. It gives mute testimony to the durability of comrrjoh brick. Didn’t Know Him Margie, aged five, was surprised when, after her mother read her a story from a humor column, she told the little girl the story was about her self. The story told briefly of Margie’s interest in birthdays and how on Feb ruary 22, when her older brother told her that It was George Washington’s birthday, Margie had asked excitedly: "What did he get?’’ And her mother had Insisted that she was the little (Vjj-i that made the remark, Margie said, disgustedly, "Why, mother, 1 didn’t say tljnt. , I don’t even know George Washington!" — Indianapolis News. Crack Shot A man brought home three turkeys from a shooting match. Ills neighbor and four-year-old were congratulat log him on his success. The father told Ids neighbor lie was a crack shot The mrkeys were being discussed at dinner rod the four-yenr-old informed the family that "he shot ’em with lireoi’iui'.ers and never burnt ’em one tiuj bit." Find Canoe Belonging to Age of Bronze A boat, tied to its landing wharf for ::,<)(!() years, has been found burled under six feet of peat In nn undent bog in upper Suubin, according to l)r Oscar I’urct, a Stuttgart archeologist It is a (logout carme about fifteen feet long, hollowed out of the trunk of a giant oak. The sides, Doctor Buret rays, were shaved down to n surpris ing thinness. Several paddles were found I11 It. A number of earthen vos sols mid bronze objects found in the turf around It date the boat ns of the Bronze ago, about HUM) I!. C„ eontem pornry with the siege of Troy and the reign of Solomon in Jerusalem. The boat was found at the end of one of three long wharves which ran back to the vicinity of the remains of n number of Imus Apparently there was once a village on the edge of the hog, on solid ground separated from Hie open water of the lake by n wide, mnrsli.v margin, which could lie crossed only by those causeways When the village site was abandoned. I lie vegetation in t lie bog and the lake continue to grow until the lake dis appeared and the piling up of the dead leaves and stems buried all the works of tlie ancient men who lived there and used to go fishing in their dugout canoes. Knoivledge of History Duty of Citizenship There never was a time when the average man needed to know more about the continuity and tradition of his race than In this age, when lie is beset on all sides by agitators who seek to trample under foot anything that custom has hallowed or experi ence taught us to he true. Bacon ad vocated Hie reading of history as mak ing men wise, and it is to be hoped that this revival of interest in our country’s story is being undertaken in the spirit that ought to underlie nil our reading, not that of blind accept ance, or that of contradiction, but with mi open, alert mind, so that we may weigh and consider well before lend ing our support to or withholding it from any proposed political reform. The rending of history is the first duty of citizenship.—Exchange. Lost Art of individuality Nobody wants to lie individual all alone these days. Alike as rabbits, we are. Running with the pack. One bobs, and millions seek the shears. One skirt slips up to the knees and nil Hie other skirts spring up into place ns at a given signal. One wom an decides not to bother with nil that bleaching her summer tan, and deep oclire powder becomes the rage. Men echo each oilier in opinions—they’ve always echoed each other in clothes— women repent one another in faces, in the type of head (no large heads any more, heads must be small no matter what Nature has done to you), in clothes, and in conduct. We’re 11s standardized as Fords. Even artists 100k like business men—and yet they don’t feel or think like business men. And young girls look and act like women of thirty. And women of fifty can't tell themseivep froift their daugh ters.—Delineator. , Rich Men’s Lot Eazicr The rich man today lias an easy time of it compared to his brother who lived in ancient times when wealth was wholly In the form of land and houses and flocks, according to J. M. Campbell writing in (lie New Age Illustrated. “The rich man of n thousand years ngo," he says, "was really llie slave of his possessions. The more land lie owned, the more houses, the more cattle, the more sheep and horses and goats, the more firmly was he tied; arid the harder lie laid to work. But the rich man of today can turn his belongings Into Income-producing securities and go where lie pleases. For a compara tively small sum lie can rent a safe- deposit box in which Ills stock cer tificates and bonds and mortgages will he safer Ilian the.v would lie If he kept them In his own hands." Why Called Cayuses tayuse Is the name of nil Indian tribe’ which formerly occupied the ter ritory .nrbubd the heads of Walla- walla, Umatilla and Grande rivers In Washington and Oregon. After the Indians came into contact with white people the bayuse tribe was especially enterprising in breeding and raising horses. The scrub horses t hey raised wielr'e called Cayusek, From a merely local use the name lias nttnhied an extended currency In the northwest ern states, and even throughout the Union.—Bat blinder Magazine. Why They Must Tune Up The members of an orchestra must tune up where they have to p!a.v, be cause most instruments are suscep tible to atmospheric changes. Instru ments previously timed up would shun lie out of tune. Gorilla Fussy About His Sleeping Place The main apparent preoccupation of Hie male gorilla is lighting for the con- 1 inued possession of Ills wives. As the family party moves along through the forest, rarely sleeping twice in the same spot, there is every night tho business of malting beds. For the gor illa has at least tills in common with ids human cousins, that lie likes and demands a comfortable sleeping place and, what is more, lie prefers to make Ids sleeping arrangements well before darkness tails. For this purpose paterfamilias bends down saplings and coders them with leafy brunches, while (he members of Ids harem, who are sent up neighbor ing trees, make each her own bed in a suitable fork by breaking off branches within her reach. Their beds are never very high up—never too high for the old man to he able to keep Ids eye upon them. You may find chimpanzees nesting in Hie tree- tops, hut never gorillas. Once I had a chance of studying litis proceeding. I made my camp close to two tairties of gorillas. My own bed was made in live minutes, but the gor illas took twenty minutes to finisli theirs to their liking, and probably were more comfortable than I. They are certainly very fastidious in this matter. Even when they remain in the same spot for a few (lays they make fresh bods every night, some times even in the same trees as the higlit before, but in other forks.—Dr. N. A. Dyee Sharp In the Continental Edition of the London Daily Mail. “Lost Chord” Dear to Heart of Composer Arthur Sullivan sketched out the complete setting of "The Lost Chord" while lie sat by the deathbed of his brother, Frederic. It was Ids last com position for many months. The song, when published, swept the world, and the Inevitable penalty of popularity followed—it was parodied, to Sulli van’s disgust. He wrote to tlip par odist : “I wrote ’The Lost Chord’ in sor row at my brother Fred’s death. Don’t burlesque It." Sullivan gave one of Ids manuscript copies of "The Lost Chord"—those scribbled notes that had come from the depth <V his suffering—to Ids life long friend, Mrs. Ronalds, a famous American iiostess living in London. She was a very gifted amateur singer and Sullivan openly said Hint site alone brought tears to his eyes with ids own notes. Mrs. Ronalds’ ren dition of_".The Lost Chord" was fa mous. King Edward—then prince of Wales—once remarked that lie would travel Hie length of his future king dom to hear Mrs. Ronalds sing "The Lost Chord." When she passed on the manuscript was, by tier instructions, buried with her.—Kansas City Star. Li Hung Chang the Buffer 1.1 Hung Chang was a Chinese statesman and diplomat born about 1S23. Early in life he become noted as a scholar and soon became promi nent in' the army.by suppressing Hie Talping rebellion. His career was most checkered as he was alternately raised to the highest rank in power nnd degraded and stripped of Ids hon ors. In 1894 lie made u tour of the world and returning homo became even more powerful. His shrewdness and thrift were his outstanding char acteristics and lie was responsible for much of the progress made by Chinn during bis life. He lias oflen been called the "buffer” between China and the rest of Hie world. Harnessing Tides The most practical system as yet suggested for harnessing the tides Is the basin system, because It permits large scale Installation. It consists of one or more basins cut off from the sen by datns. As the tide rises nnd falls gates permit the maintenance of differences of level of water between the basin nnd the sea, or between one basin and another during part of the tidal cycle. These differences in level produce the necessary heads of water for the production of power through turbines and auxiliary machinery. On Being “Nice” Being nice to people requires a vir tue not unlike that which impels u hero to surrender Ills place in a life boat to some one else. Unfortunately enough, the instant it becomes a pleasure to be nice to some one you discover Hint t hey have no need of your being nice to them. People to whom It is necessary to be nice never seem altogether conscious of their po sition. Which provokes the awful thought that, in the eyes of ethers, you yourself may he one of them with out knowing it.—Exchange. Types of Women There tire four types vf women, Charlie. There arc the unfortunates, who have been granted no attractions, physical or otherwise. They have heaps of friends of their own sex nnd kind, they live in women’s clubs or in stitutions, nnd find nn outlet for their emotions In religion nnd Hie love af fairs of oilier people. Then there Is the latest model, the aggressive va riety, olbo\jlng men out of Hie way; there Is something rather attractive about them, but they know It too well. Then your feline women, the mischief makers, often most attractive. Then the bovitio variety, which makes for peace in the homo nnd n comfortable sluggishness In the heart of man. Worthy women.—Lesley Storm In “Lady, What of Life?" Remove Wet Garments All of us at some time or other get caught In a rainstorm, fall into water, get our feet wet in rainy weather, etc. These occasional “soaldngs" are harmless, if the right tiling Is done afterward. Dr. R. S. Copeland says getting wet does no more harm than taking a bath, if you do not stay In the wet garments. This, he points out, Is particularly true of wet shoes. His advice is: Don’t stay In wet gar ments. Get out of them into dry cloth ing. If you feel chilled after expos ure, It is Important to restore the cir culation. The best way to do that Is to take a good hot bath and go to bed. —Pathfinder Magazine. The Lesson If youth, with nit Its progressive ness and buoyancy, could only learn one great lesson that comes with ad vancing years, so much disillusion ment nnd unhappiness would be pre vented. If youth could only learn, while it Is still youth, that there are certain fundamental things which it cannot do nnd "get away with," cer tain things that must be done and must not be done, certain tilings Hint are not only conventional but essen tial, half the tears of boyhood and girlhood would never flow.—Grove Patterson, In 1110 Mobile Register. Tough on Zeke “Zeke,” said the judge to an old of fender, who had been convicted of stealing a hog, “you are fined $10.” ‘‘Jedge,’’ said Zeke, "I’m much obteeged to you. I’ve got dat ten-spot right here In rnnh left-hand vest pocket.” “Is that so?" continued the Judge. “Just dig down In your right-hand vest pocket nnd see if you can find thirty days.” Pooh t Marie was very enthusiastic regard ing the new minister, nnd young Wil loughby was Inclined to be Jealous. “Oil, he is superbly eloquent!" cried Marie. "He can move his hearers to tears."

' Flag for Army Dead Until recently Hie American.colors were draped about a soldier’s coffin regardless of Ids rank, yet only an officer of the rank of major or higher was entitled to have his cortege pre ceded by the regimental nnd national flags. r flie regulations now prescribe that at all military funerals, without distinction of rank, the colors, when available, shall bo displayed find be carried with (lie escort.
