FIRST LOVE STILL LINGERS
John Burroughs Has Vivid Recollec.
tions of the Little Maid Who
. Won His Heart,
John Burroughs’ recollections of hig
first sweetheart are as fresh and rose
tinted as the cheeks of the little lady
as she ran down the hill to play with
her ardent young admirer of five,
"Uncle John tells about her in “John
Burroughs, Boy and Man,” the semi
autobiography which is written by his
friend, Dr. Clara Barrus,
“I can see her now, as she came
running down the hill from the school- ‘
house, the cape of her little pink sun- |
bonnet fluttering in the breeze,” said
Mr. Burroughs as he pointed out the
course she took down the road to her
home.
“I must have been between five and
six years old. I had gone over to
neighbor Bartram’s in the West settle
ment with father on a stoneboat drawn
by the oxen. Father probably went
there to help him draw stones for
4 new piece of wall—they used to ex
change work in that way. ‘
“I can hear her father’s voice as
he sent it over the hills to the school
house—he had a prodigious voice—
“ Eleanor, come home.’ And soon she
came flying down the road to play with
me. r
“We played by the barn on a little
mound of hay. I remember we made a
nest there—l can see her now as she
took a wisp of hay and pinched it to
gether, making believe it was an egg,
and that she was a hen—l can see
the sharp amgles of the shining hay
as she tried to shape it like an egg
before she covered it in the nest.”

, Origin of Dollar Mark.
Some claim that it is a modification
of the English symbol (£) for the
pound. Another explanatior is that it
came from the letters U. S. written
one over the other. Yet another
theory is that the two upright marks
represent two pillars of brass before
the temple of Solomon, which early ap
peared on our coins and became intere
twined with a secroll,

The Lincoln modesty is a trait
of the son as it was of the father.
Robert L’'ncoln, son of Abraham
Lincoln, has always made it a
point to dodge publicity. This
picture of him was taken recently
at Chicago when he was caught
unaware. “My father was a great
man—l am not,’”--he always says
when requested to pose. But
personal friends say it is only the
same modesty that so characte:
izefd the great American
Mrs. J. H. Woolvin of Abbeville
was shopping in Fitzgerald Monday.
Felt He Wasn’'t Wanted.
My young son had been telling me
about an occasion on which he had
felt greatly wound up by saying:
“Mother, T never felt so unnecessary
In all my life.”—Chicago Tribune.
Simple Explanation.
Plerre was trying to solve an ex
ample in arithmetie, but it came out
2 cents less than it should, over and
over again. So I offered to help him;
when all of a sudden he said: *I bet
I know now what the matter is. I
ought to add 2 cents for war tax. "
Exchange.
Appetite of Birds.
Birds are usually voracious eaters.
Some birds consume two and a half
times their weight of food in twenty
four hours. The heron, which has the
light weight of four pounds in spite
of its size, is a striking example, Wild
pigeons are among the greediest eaters.
DO MOST WORK ON THURSDAY
Statistics Show That British Factory
Employees Are at Their Best
About Midweek.
What is the best workday in Amer
fca? In England it is Thursday.
That is the finding of industrial re
search board investigators of that
country. The London Chronicle reports
that over a period of twenty weeks
the output was registered and
“graphs” were made.
The workers gave their best on
Wednesdays and Thursdays, but the
output on Saturday was invariably
low. When doubled (to equalize time)
it is often less than 75 per cent of that
on other days.
Another jmportant conclusion was
that the skilled workman is much
more regular in his output than the
worker noi so well qualified. He does
not get the “tired Saturday feeling”
SO soon. .
In some factories the output arises
until Friday, but among the less skilled
workmen it was found that Thurs
day was the best working day.
An important consideration which
the investigators kept in mind was
that of the atmospheric condition in
which work is done. Records of the
air conditions have been taken with
the output records.
In various plants the Saturday out
put was so low that employers found
it unprofitable to operate, so they
closed down. From this it would ap
pear that on a half day the worker
does not give the average of a half
day of production.—Richard Spillane
in the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Gompers Issues Warning.
State organizations of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor were cau
tioned to be “on guard” against
threatened enactment of state laws
that would. “enslave workers,” in a
letter sent to the state secretaries by
Samuel Gompers, president. “Reac
tion in many quarters is rampant,”
he said, “and it is threatened that
efforts will be made to have legisla
tures of all the states enact compnl
sory arbitration laws with compul
sory labor provisions.”

Bokhara in Hands of Reds?
Nominally the government of Bok
hara is in the hands of the amir, whe
is an absolute autocrat, but actually
power is largely exercised by the Mo
hammedan clergy. The houses in the
capital are closely packed together,
and everyone must he indoors by dusk
At night the streets are paraded h,v'
police patrols, who beat drums to
scare away thieves and robbers. The
| city is surrounded by a ruined but stil’
- strong wall about 7% miles in cir
cumference. It is now reported that
Bokhara has been captured by the
Reds.
Old Fort Stili Useful.
Less than half a century ago al
most every American community west
of the Mississippi was protected
against Indian raids by a fort or stock
ade. Most of these structures have
now fallen into dust, says Popular
Mechanies Magazine. In southern Utah,
however, is a stone structure,
known as “Cove Port,” which was
i .built in 1867, at the time of the
l Biackhawk-Mormon war, yet is today
! in a state of perfect preservation. It
| is now used, in fact, as a ranch house
| and hotel.
The Widdle Initial.
With the exception of William H
Taft, Senator Hurding is the first
President since Rutherford B. Hayves
to use more than one Christian name
Grover Cleveland, William McKinley,
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson (who dropped his first name
Thomas, early in the career) got along
without middle names or initials. The
middle initial, incidentally, is almost
exclusively an American characteris
tic. An Englishman may call himseld
John James Smith, but practically nev.
er John J. Smith. A Frenchman may
be baptised Auguste Charles Jesus
Marie Georges Dupont, but he will be
known to the world as Georges Du
pont, and probably will sign himseli
G. Dupont.
The use of more than one giver
name is puzzling to a Frenchman
When Senator Lodge is mentioned in
the French press, he is never “M
Lodge,” but “M. Cabot Lodge,” or as.
one prominent Paris daily writes it,
“M. Cabot-Lodge.” The President-Elect
may look forward to be known on the
continent as “President Gamaliel Hard
ing."—REditorial Digest. |

Substitute for Gold.
What is said to be a serviceable sub
stitute for gold is obtained by combin
ing 94 parts of copper with six parts
of antimony and adding a little mag
nesium carbonate to ll}crease the .
welght. It is sald that this alloy can
be drawn, wrought and soldered very
much like gold and that it also re
celves and retalns a golden volish. J
