THING THAT REALLY COUNTS
First Punch Always the Effective
Agent, in Life as Well as the
Squared Circle.
Georges Carpentier is a smart fellow
—that is, he is something more than a
fighter. One might even call the
Frenchman a prophet, '
“The one that gets in the first punch
will win.” he said, referring to his
coming match with Dempsey.
We’ll let it go at that so far as the
next world’s championship heavy
weight tigiit goes. But just look around
and see if you have a punch in your
system and if you can land it first.
How hard can you sock at your job?
What is your batting average in the a.
ui. Or can you take a punch as well
as give one?
They called Trig Speaker a miracle
pilot because he put the punch into a
ball club that copped the world title.
He always made it a point to land first
on the scoreboard and when he didn't
he kept slugging away until he usually
liud his lead at the end of the game.
Man o’ War is called the greatest
horse the world has ever had. But the
Biddle colt is just a horse that puts
the best he has into every race and al
ways Man o’ War finishes ahead of the
dust.
The football star who “hits ’em
first” is usually on the honor roll wheu
tlie cleats are hung up at the end of the
seuson. «
It’s the punch that counts, from mar
bles to K. O. —Chicago Evening Post.
IMITATE CUSTOMS OF WEST
Manchu Women on Streets of Peking
Use Rouge, but in Manner Pro
nounced Clumsy.
The first strikingly surprising cus
tom among the citizens of Peking Is
that the women wear skirts, James A.
Muller writes in tiie National Geo
graphic Magazine. To a traveler fresh
from America, this would seem as it
should be, hut to one resident in the
land of trousered women it appears
almost immodest!
They not only wear skirts; they
further approximate western usage by
painting their faces. Broadway is na
ture itself in comparison; for in Pe
king there are no light, artistic
touches, but bold cheek circles of red
upon frankly whitened faces —comet-
ic unabashed.
These are the Manchu women. The
Manchu men. descendants of the rov
ing Tartars, go futilely about this spa
cious city of tljeir fathers balancing
trick birds upon their wrists; for, now
that the empire is no more, their only
occupation, that of ruling, is gone, and
the conquered. Chinese, immemorial
city dwellers, are masters of the cap
ital. It is a significant illustration of
the age-old ability of the Chinese to
absorb and enervate their conquerors.
A Little Love Story.
A dreamer and a man of action
loved a woman. The dreamer said:
“I shall write verses in her praise;
they will touch her vanity and she
will love me for them.”
But the man of action said: “How
old fashioned! I shall corner the
stock market, and that will bring
her.”
So the dreamer wrote verses, and
he induced a friend of his, who ran a
ten-cent magazine to print them. And
the man of action cornered something
or other and became a billionaire.
In the meantime the girl married a
man who inherited his money, and
lived happy ever after.
But the dreamer was so proud of
his verses that he didn’t care; and the
man of action was so busy that be
didn’t care.
The only one to suffer was the man
she married. —Exchange.
Tells Joke on Herself.
The other morning when Mrs.
P, 's new neighbor accompanied her
husband to the door as lie was about
to start on his way to his work, she
lovingly called out to him: “Good-by,
sweetheart.” Soon after Mrs. B
and their little daughter went to the
door with Mr. R . He kissed the
little one and suid good-by to Mrs.
B . She, not wishing to he out
done by her happy neighbor, called to
Mr. B as he was half way down
the walk: “Good-by, dear.” Mr.
B turned around so quickly to
look back at his wife that tie stum
bled and with difficulty kept on his
feet. “I saw him shaking with sup
pressed laughter as he went down the
street,” said the indignant Mrs. B .

New American Industry.
Establishment of a new Eastern fac
tory with 50,0*0 square feet of floor
space, for the manufacture of arti
ficial pearls from fish scale essence,
marks the beginning of a new Amer
ican industry, formerly dependent oil
imports from France, Germany and
Italy, -ays Popular Mechanics Maga
zine. The common herring is the
base of supply for the Irideseeut ma
teria! used, and removing it is an
arduous task, because each scale, taken
from certain parts of the fish, yields
only a tiny speck of luster.
Suction Tube Unloads the Boat.
A big suction tube is used at Oak
land, Cal., in the operation of unload
ing craf : of their cargo of copra. The
materi is thrown into the hold loose
and the end of the tube is thrust
down the hold. The material is light
and the current of air readily picks
It up and carries through the pipe to
the bins on the wharf where it Is
stored. Copra is lighter than cork
and comes from tropical countries.

Getting a Good
Start Every Day
RED-BLOODED MEN AND WO
MEN ARE UP AND DOING IN
THE EARLY MORNING.
FREE YOUR BLOOD OF POISON.
TAKE PEPTO-MANGAN, THE FA
MOUS BLOOD TONIC PRES
CRIBED BY PHYSICIANS FOR
THIRTY Y EAR A.
Sluggish blood clogged with poi
sons makes you lazy. You never feel
like getting up in the morning. And
when you do get up you miss that
feeling of refreshing rest. You feel
more tired than when you went to
bed. After a good night’s sleep you
should get up with a .spring, feeling
alive, renewed, refreshed.
And you would, too, if your blood
were full of red corpuscles. Your
complexion would look fresh, your
eyes bright and clear, you would feel
j the warm tingle cf gdod health'.
Look to your blood if you have the
lazy, tired feeling in the morning.
Begin taking Pepto-Mangan, the
] ideal tonic. It has blood-building
I properties that pick you up and give
you strength.
Pepto-Mangan is widely and heart
ily endorsed by physicians. It is ef
fective and easy to take. It is pre
pared in both liquid and tablet form.
Both have the same medicinal prop
erties.
Sold at any drug store. But be
sure you get the genuine Pepto-Man
gan—Gude’s. Ask for it by the full
name —Gude’s Pepto-Mangan—and be
sure the full name is on the package.
FATHER OF 34 DELUGED

Wife: “I Envy You.”
RALEIGH. N. C —Since the As
sociated Press gave nation-widfc pub
licity to the fact that Reuben Bland
i of Robersonville, Beaufort county,
1 was a spinster. Excerpts from a few
1 Mr. and Mrs. Bland have been de
luged with letters from persons all
over the United Sta.es and Canada.
The letters are from both women
and men, one writer admitting she
was a spinister. Excerpts from a few
lof the letters follow:
A man in Ohio w rites :
“I read the story about your family
aloud to my wife. ‘There’s a man who
ought to be given a medal,’ I told her.
‘There's a man who ought to be
hanged;’ she retorted.”
A writer in Oregon sent this:
"Reuben, Reuben, l am thinking.
“You are a right nifty man.
"To your health ' am drinking,
“You have done what few men can.’
From Navarre, Oliio, Mr. Bland re
ceived this :
“I’m the father of eight children
and I have an awful time keeping
them in food and clothing. I’ve
worried a lot. but since reading about
your big family, 1 realize thatl’m a
lucky guy.”
A spinster in Tennessee wrote Mrs.
Bland :
“What a pity that more women
could not know the joys of having
such a grand family. I envy you !”
