Cultivation In Burma.
We who think of Burma ss In India
must modify our Ideas considerably.
As a matter of fact It lies outside the
Ipdlan region, and owes Its connection
mainly to its recent history, for as
will be recalled Burma was conquered
at the expense of India, and In a great
measure by the Indians who assisted
In garrisoning, policing and construct¬
ing Its public works. Without this aid
Burma’s annexation and government
would have been exceedingly difficult,
for back in the hills of the Irrawaddy
valley basin thjjre are still wild tribes
scarcely emerged from conditions of
savagery,'whose chief aim In life until
recently was the practice of Inter¬
tribal conflicts and head-hunting. It Is
to these people the Burmese are con¬
nected by racial affinities, though the
former have developed amazingly un¬
der the Influences of civilization, a
standard which Is high according to
the Asiatic code. As a result, the bill
tribes are sparse today, and Burmese
civilization is onThe increase through
out the country.
Mystic Shrine.
The Ancient and Arabic Order of the
Nobles of the Mystic Shrine was found¬
ed 1,400 years ago at Mecca, Arabia.
The modern order is of comparatively
recent origin. It was founded at New
York in 1871 by William J. Florence,
the actor. It contains a legend as to
Arabic origin anif'on Its altars rest
copies of the Bible and the Koran. The
Mystic Shriners are an entirely sepa¬
rate organization from the Masonic or¬
der. However, one of the provisions
of membership is that the applicant
must be either a Scottish Rite Mason,
that is to say, a Mason of the thlrty
sacood degree, or a member of the or¬
der of Knights Templar,

WHY UMP O’LOUGHUN j
Wm WAS CAUED “SILK"
ms
Some Guessers Ascribed It to
High Quality of His Work.
Wore Long, Silky Hair When He W«s
Boy and Brother Gave Him Hick
Career in Hem*
Town of Rochester.
Doubtless many have wondered B 4 #
It was that Umpire O’Loughlis, who
recently passed away, acquired th*
nickname of “silk.” Some guessers
ascribed It to the high quality of Ms
work, others to clean, fine repartee,
but none is correct. When he was
• lad be had long, silky hair, which
caused his brother to call him “Silk."
The other boys were very quick to
adopt the new title, and “Silk” ft
was from that time until he said
farewell to all.
“Silk” began his career as an ama¬
teur in his home city, Rochester,
N. Y., where he\waa connected with
some of the best amateur teams. He
played baseball until 1884, when his
general technical knowledge of th*
game was recognised and he was
drafted Into the ranks of umplredom
In a somewhat precipitous manner.
The city of Rochester and vicinity
always was noted for Its high-class
; amateur clubs, add. the Intense rivalry
•that existed between teams of that
city and the neighboring towns and
villages probably was unsurpassed in
any other section of, ihe the country. In
the season of 1894 town of Pal¬
myra had a strong team of profes¬
sionals, among whom was “Stump”
iWeidman,.formerly a member of the
^Detroit team and a brother-in-law of
“Silk”; Paul Cooke, who was con
jnected hood; Mark with ^Baldwin, the Brooklyn Pete Sweeney brother*
land other headliners. The Palmyras
had an Important game scheduled
with one of Its noted rivals. Consid¬
erable difficulty had been experienced
before in procuring the services of a

competent umpire, as the games were
extremely exciting and the rivalry at
fever heat.
One of “Silk's” admirers suggested
to the management that he would be
just the man to officiate as umpire In
this game. He was requested to offi¬
ciate and accepted. He gave his de¬
cisions clearly, distinctly, fearlessly
and with entire satisfaction to all
concerned. He umpired the rest of
the series in the same acceptable
manner, and It may be said that this
was the beginning of his career as an
umpire. For the remainder of that
season and for two succeeding sea¬
sons “Silk” was in constant demand
as an umpire throughout New York
state.
He had hts. first league assignment
In 1898 in the Atlantic league of which
Ed Barrow was the president. In
1902 he Joined the American league
and was a star until ^he end.

Sons of Men Who Have Amassed
Wealth Are Now Trained to
Succeed Their Fathers.
It; used to be said that It was only
three generations from shirt sleeves
to shirt sleeves. This meant that the
ffiaa who worked hard and built up
his own fortune by taking off his coat
and “digging in” generally had a son
who spent all his money in idleness
and riotous living, and his son’s son
, had to take off his coat and, like his
hardworking grandfather, go to work
to make his own fortune, a writer in
the American Boy observes, But
things are different in these days. The
sons of rich men are trained to care
for money, trained In their fathers’
business so that should their fathers
die they may be able to step in and
continue the work, aided by competent
assistants. Other young men, when
they get through college, begin to
work their way up so that they will
know, all the ropes of tpeir fathers’
business. Many a young man who is
heir to millions has worked side by
side with sons of poor laboring men,
and worked quite as hard and for the
same wages.
The juniors In American business
today are making a splendid showing.
Never lathe history of the country has
there been so great a number of able
young men, sons of millionaires, who
have worked and are flow working
hard—much harder than the average
young chap who has quit school and
gone to work to support himself.
Women Busy in 1861.
The activities of women In war work
recalls the work of the women during
the Civil war In a little village of New
York. William H. Shelton, In a remi¬
niscent article in Century, says:
“Our village had a decided opinion
about the war, and when the ladles
who had played battledore and shut¬
tlecock wanted to do their bit In a
Red Cross way they selected the little
red cannon house as the Scene of
their activity. The yellbw gun car¬
riage, with Its double trail, was
wheeled out upon the grass, Its brass
gun actually jointing south, with the
round iron balls hard by in the port¬
able chest, to make way for tables
and chairs. Here at fixed Intervals
the ladies met to make havelocks and
pick lint. For the first they brought
good cotton drilling, and for the soft
lint they scraped the oldest sheets and
pillow cases of fine linen from their
grandmothers' wedding chests." *’
Where Cultivation Counts.
Most of ua find It too much trouble
to really cultivate ourselves. We cul¬
tivate people whose acquaintance we
think will make for our promotion and
advancement. We cultivate those
whom we think are powerful. We cul¬
tivate the rich, the talented, the beau¬
tiful outside of ourselves, without
realizing that real power, real dlstlnc-'
tlon, comes from within. If w# would
give as much time and attention to
making thd best of oursfelves as w«
give to those non-essential things
which hamper our progress we should
all reach the situation we admire in
others. For no man or woman ever re¬
ceives the best of life as a gift—
/> Exchange. '
No Royal Road to Knowledge *
Knowledge is possible to all who
really want It. Short cuts always re¬
duce to ridicule. Force equivalents
always beget rebellion and bloodshed.
There is no royal road to the well
stored mind today any more than there
was in the days of Pharaoh. Not
crown? of gold and precious gems, hat
diadems of sparkling, penetrating In

We Have'Received Shipment
of‘New Cars.
We invite you to call around totour show room and
inspect these new models Every model has inbuilt tbe
characteristic 5 Buick features, all six cylinder motors,
Buick§valve-in-head design. But with many desirable
changes and improvements over the cars of the previous
seasons.
T he valve mechanism is automatically lubricated:
and is covered with dust-proof cover, prolonging the life
of tne bearings. j
The valve lifters, rollers and pins have been made
Irger^which^will reduce wear. A tension spring has
been placed on valve lifters to keep roller on cam con¬
stantly relieving valve spring of all work except seating
of the valves. The new design of cram shaft insures
gradual seating action of valve lifters and eliminates
noise. These are only a few of the many changes made
in this year’s models.
