"You'd better have acare," she said, "and choose the words you speak/' The man in anger said to her, "Say, what's wrong with your head?" And then he shonted in her ear, "O. U. B. Dahm, I said." That brave girl did not falter then. No tear9 came to her eye, Bnt she faced that there fellow and did make this here reply: Chorus: "I may be bat a toiler, but I am a f lady, toe, And I will say right here that I do not think much of yon; And no one bnfc a monster and an ornery profane chnrl Would go into a store and cuss a decent working girl."

I Secretary Bryan promised ar. ot?- J cial investigation. Chas. M. Schwab, president of the Bethlehem Steel Oc., is said tc have cancelled similar" contracts with the British government months ago, after a conference with Secretary Bryan, on the theory that they constituted a violation of neutrality. Naval officer* detailed at private yards where contracts for the Unit.ed States government are being executed recently reported to Secretary Daniels that the Union Iron Works of San Pranci820 and the Fore River Shipbuilding Co., at Quincy, Mass., were building ten submarines each in addition to those they have under construction for the United States. It was said these had been contracted for by Creat Britian before the outbreak of hostilii ies and conld net be delivered nntil the war was over. The inspectors reported that none of these boats conld be completed for several months and that none of their com ponent parte bad been shipped by the builders, 80 far as officials knew no breach of neatrality has beeD committed. Not Paint The worst mistake in paintiDg j^nct putting-off. That costs abont 10 percent; you keep your money a year and pay 10 percent for it. Paint would have to come-down 25 percent to make 10 percent on the ;>ob, for wages do not go-down. . . Tlje;wor8t mistake is "cheap?/ paint/ It costs from 50 peroent to 109. drst cost, and another in wear. What a liar "cheap" is! "Put-off" is bad-enough; "cheap" is ten times worse. DE70E adv.

It will probably surprise you, said a retired colonel of hussars, to learn that a cavalry horse usually enjoys a battle at least as much as bi9 rider and displays as much courage in it. Ue will chafe and stamp with lmy.e'lence while waiting for the order to charge and a; the signal will dash forward like a greyhound released from 'heleash, full of fire and fury and <rieu neighing wildly. At the moment < f contact with the enemy he will re:.-, striking and biting savagely at the t .-nosing horse? and trampling down <1 ? infantry. When his rider fa/s he will dash j along with bis fellows and crash as i gallantly Into the foe. In the famous kcharge of the Light brigade scores of rideriess horses swept down the "va! ley of death." thundering through the smoke on to the Russian guns, and gal loped hack in safety with the shattered remnant of the brigade. Fiv.< horses raced neck and neck with Lor.: Alfred Paget, who rode in advance of the hne, so eager were they to get at the enemy. And not only is the well trained charger as brave as Ins rider. lie is often as intelligent He knows the j ivigle calls just as well and answers J them as promptly. In fact, i haw | Known many a case in which a horse has put his rider right when he has mistaken an order and has gone fen!: lessly through a maneuver in spite the efforts of his retaken master :o make lilta do the wrong thing ?
