tumorous department. Hor Poop Appetite.?The theatrical manager leaned wearily against the desk in the office of the hotel. "Well, how goes it?" sad the clerk. The manager shrugged hs shoulders without replying. "Good business?" The manager evaded the question. "I'm afraid we may have to close before the season's over. My star's ill. When she comes to the theatre at night she's hardly able to get through her work. She says she can't eat anything." Just then the telephone bell rang. The clerk turned to answer it. After listening for a moment he said: "Wait till I get a pencil. I've got to write that down." As he wrote he repeated: "Mock turtle soup, Dover sole, porterhouse steak, half a chicken, mashed potatoes, cabbage, tomato salad, apple tart, cheese and coffee. Whew!" Then he shouted into the phone: "How many is that dinner for? One? Whew!" Then he turned to the maanger: "That's your star's" dinner," he said quietly. The Reality of War-?Mr. McGovern, a heavyweight gentleman of London's east end, who had never been known to work, but who nevertheless has added to the population or tne earm in figures up to 10, suddenly became heroic and enlisted, says Judge. The following dialogue took nlace between Mrs. McGovern and a lady, Mrs. McGovern being happy and complacent in the receipt of her allowance from the war office: Mrs. McGovern?Good mornng, miss. Lady?Good morning, Mrs. McGovern. I hear Mr. McGovern has gone to the war. Mrs. McGovern (cheerfully)?Yes, miss. Lady?Well, Mrs. McGovern, what do you think of this terrible war? Mrs. McGovern?Good Lord, lady! I hope It will last forever. Now, Then, Teacher!?Drowsy and warm was the afternoon, and the attention flagged considerably in the class room. Grammer seemed such a dry old thing after the splendid battle that the boys had revelled In on the playground. The teacher's curt voice cut through these happy meditations, and the small lads pulled themselves to gemer as oesi iney were auie. "The cows is in the field," repeated the teacher, indicating the writing on the blackboard. "Now, that sentence is wrong. Can any boy tell me why?" Wearily she looked over the apathetic little gathering. "Come, come!" she said encouragingly. One youngster with a latent spark of chivalry sought to help her out of the difficulty. "PVaps one of them are a calf, miss," he suggested innocently. Tip From a Fighter,?Richard Bennett, the actor, was a prizefighter when he was a young man, and, as a result of this accomplishment, he has many friends in the ranks of pugilism. One evening during a performance in Middle West, Abe Attell went behind the scenes and called on Bennett in his dressing room. , "Are you going to play San Francisco?" asked the pugilist. "Va? " 1-onlloH the antnr "T think we'll put on the play In the Greek theatre over at Berkeley for one or two special performances." "Take a tip from me, Bennett," cautioned Attell, not getting- the real significance of the theatre's name; don't do that. If you do you'll lose a lot of money. There ain't enough Greeks in that town to fill a moving-picture house." Marked Down.?Charles broke the spell as in a dejected tone of voice he said: "Miss Fraser, I love you, but dare not dream of calling you mine. Yesterday I was worth $25,000, but today, by a turn of fortune's wheel, I have but a few paltry hundreds to call my okvn. I would not ask you to accept me in my reduced state. Farewell forever." As Charlie was about to stride mournfully away, she caught him and eagerly cried: "Good gracious! Reduced from $25,000 to $100! You might have known 1 couldn't resist!" Degrees of Darkness.?"You say," said the attorney for the defence, "that, although the night was very dark, you saw Rastus Johnson leaving your hen coop at midnight from your bed room window?" "Yes, sir," replied the plaintiff. "How could you distinguish him in the blackness of the night?" demanded the attorney. "Why-er," said the plaintifT, "the darkness got so much blacker all of a sudden that Rastus' presence there was obvious. No other human being could cast such a shadow on anything so dark as that night already was."? Judge. After Information.?The new flagman could not leave until the limited express, due at two minutes of 7, had safely passed. One night it was late. About 12 minutes past 7 the gateman heard it in the distance and seized his red lantern. The engineer was mak ing up lost time, but brought his train to a standstill at the wave of the red light. He jumped off and ran ahead to find out why he was signalled. "What made you signal?" he demanded angrily, seeing no danger. "What kept ye?" calmly questioned the gateman.?Philadelphia Ledger. Rooster Arrested.?A British soldier in Belgium was one morning wending his way to camp with a fine rooster in his arms, when he was stopped by his colonel to know if he had been stealing chickens. "No, colonel," was the reply. "I saw the old fellow sitting on the wall and I ordered him to crow for old England and he wouldn't do it so I just took him prisoner.?Exchange. Time in Kentucky.?Recently a gentleman who travels out of Paris was in the Kentucky mountains, sixty miles from a railroad. A man asked him the time. The gentleman looked at his watch and told the inquirer. "That's railroad time, ain't it?" asked the man. "Yes," said the Paris man. "Well, we don't go by railroad time up here," said the man. "We go by sun time, 'cause we are closer to the sun than we are to the railroad." IttisrfUanrous IScadinq. CATAPULT TO CORDITE Development of Propelling Power of Destructive Agencies. When the first man, in the old Stone Age thousands of years ago, threw his first javelin against a hairy mammoth, he put his foot over the threshold of the problem of explosives. For it seemed to him?and our feelings today are with him?that it would be more pleasurable if one could hurt and kill one's enemy without the gratuitous thrill of having to sit on the massive tusk on the verge of a cavermouth, or of having to approach within a few paces of the huge legs which might the next moment descend upon him. Tt n./\nM Kfl mnra onnvanlont to stand at the cave entrance, on a dizzy ledge of rock, and hurl a weapon at the distant enemy. The Chemical Catapult. So man was driven to invent the ca.apult; and a gun is merely a chemical catapult. The trigger is pulled back like the leather of the catapult, and the sudden and extraordinary expansion of the explosive corresponds to the elasticity of the rubber or spring ?the essential feature of both instruments being the employment of some source of more than human power which can be made to yield up its energy at a given moment in the required way. Explosives are, therefore, tabloid energy or power, and it is a just reminder of the fact that some substances are explosive generally, whereas quite a number of common things may be made explosive by some particular kind of treatment. When water boils on the fire there is no explosion as it is changed into steam, but if the spout were sealed and the whole of the water could be changed into steam in a second there would be an explosion. And the instance is good because it is really a kitchen model of a volcano. Moreover, steam guns were used in America in the '60s. The essential idea of an explosion is then the violent release of some pentup tl.ing; just the opposite, from this standpoint, of the catapult, which works by allowing a distended thing ?the elastic?to contract suddenly, whereas all explosives release a compressed thing. The release rise to an air wave, and this, of course, is experienced as a sound. It is the sound which is popularly called an explosion. What la "Tabloid Force?" Now, it has been said that an explosion is tabloid force, power, energy. How is it made available? It is easy to follow the mechanism of an explosive further. Explosives, as commonly used, are solid substances which, by burning, produce almost instantaneously an extraordinary large volume of gases. The heat and pressure of a blow causes the burning to start, and the burning also produces heat which, acting upon the gases, increases the volume still further. It may be suggested that there is no obvious reason why even a sudden and enormous expansion should cause the damage of an explosion. And the suggestion is quite just. It is only when they are confined that explosives are really dangerous, gunpowder burned in the open merely causes a noise like "pouf," and burns quickly. Guncotton may be burned on the hand?it is not to be recommended as a fashionable hobby?without any serious inconvenience. Indeed, gunpowder was first used as an incendiary composition. But a firework or a gun charged with gunpowder will explode with a loud report and may cause fatal wounds. "High" and "Low" Explosives. Gunpowder is the best known ex plosive mixture. It is made from the commonest ingredients?carbon, sulphur and saltpeter. There are several modifications of gunpowder, other nitrates being substituted for the saltpetre?potassium nitrate. The nitrates give the oxygen to the mixture without which it would not burn at all, other explosive mixtures containing chlorates which have the same amount of oxygen as saltpetre and nitrates. The different powders are used in different circumstances where a more violent or a slower or a safe explosive is required. For it is not always the same effect which one asks from an explosive. Velocity may at times be sacrificed, say, in favor of a higher weight of common shell. Gunpowder is a "low" explosive; its explosion is slow and its effect is less violently disruptive. Dynamite is probably the best known "high" explosive, and the name does not stand for one particular substance, but for a large class, which are, in effect, diluted nitroglycerin, and which are generally used for blasting. Germany's New Explosive. Guncotton may be described as a nitrate of cotton wool (which the chemist would call cellulose.) Both nytro'glycerin and guncotton are less useful as explosives themselves than their derivatives, although Russia and the United States use compressed wet guncotton in their high explosive shells. One of the most famous derivations is the smokeless propellant used by the British army and navy, cordite. Germany is reported to be using in the present war a "new" explosive. Its chemical name is trinitro-toluene (picric acid is called trinitro-carbolic); but it is commonly called T. N. T., or in Germany, Tyrotyl. It is not at all new. In fact, a well known member of a series of aromatic explosives and toluene is a derivation of coal tar. It nas long own Kriuwu mai u muvu improved the ordinary detontors and that detonators made with T. N. T. were being used in Germany. THE ENRICHMENT OF LIFE What We See and What We Do Makes the Difference. We owe it to ourselves now and then to take a tangent from the familiar round, even if the excursion be only to the next street or the adjoining village. What means this tremendous modern interest in travel pictures and "the movies?" It means the same craving toward the incredible that Caesar found true of his day, when the provincial commercial travelers in Gaul brought to the gaping market pace more wares than they carried in their packs. The traveler was the story-teller; he earned his welcome by anecdotes, like a mountebank today. The journey around the walls of one's own room from book to book reveals not "bindings," but loosenings, as of the spirit emancipated to fresh woods and pastures new. The opera or the symphony in the same fashion may release us to other worlds, undiscovered countries, continents as strange as the penguin-peopled Antarctic. Eagerly we hear and see the whole of the audible panorama that earth and the skies and the waters spread before us, and beyond what is real is all that is imagined. We greedily receive the fairy story and the allegory, and the greatest of teachers has recourse to parables and points his moral with narration. Easy it is to "stay put," to go on doing just what one has been doing all these years, to live and move the mere automaton of habit and the galvanic reflexes, to "go through the motions" as though pulled by hidden wires, or like a dummy seated on the knee of a ventriloquist. Thus shall men and women gain the world and lose their souls. You may be an invalid in a wheel chair, a sufferer with a pilgrim spirit tethered to a hospital cot, yet you are Douna 10 exercise the stiffened muscles of the mind to restore in them their former resilience and alacrity. You need not go far from your own door; going or staying, the inquiring mind brought to bear on all that passes beneath our ken is the chief means toward life's enrichment. How vexing it is to find so many who have peregrinated up and down the world all these years and remained about the same! They have covered a mileage sufficient to throw a loop around the moon, but they are Just as narrow, sclfi3h and silly and formal as they were when they left school with a "liberal" education. Oodles of money have nothing to do with it; upon a huge pile of mere lucre one often sees the man or woman who nominally is the owner standing like a shriveled, leafless tree, out of which the sap current of life that still throbs in the withered trunk is the passion that strikes downward into the root of all evil, and would enlarge the choking accumulation of money round about it, if it only could. To be "on the make" for oneself, in Vi/x oanoo r\t nllincr Hnllur r?r? Hnllnr Ic not to enrich one's life. It is in the inner tranquil places of existence, at the hidden springs, that the principal sources of health and strength and hope are to be found. One who can "sit in the center and enjoy bright day" is the proprietor of vast estates, which no man by casuistry or force can wrench from him. For whatsoever things become the possession of the soul are inalienable properties which are not relinquished, even to the hand of death, that takes all else we have at the portal where we are seen at last for what we are.?Philadelphia Ledger. BIRTHPLACE OF JACKSON A. S. Sally, Jr., Says Old Hickory Was Native of South Carolina. In 1914, I made some researches as to the birthplace of Andrew Jackson, the results of which I contributed to a daily newspaper published in Charleston. The story attracted the attention of Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, who asked permission to reprint it as an appendix to a life of Jackson, which he was then preparing. Flattered by his compliments and glad of the opportunity to put my work into enduring shape, I revised the story and it was published in Mr. Brady's "The True Andrew Jackson,' in 1906. In 1908, I revised the story again and published it in the annual report of the historical commission. To each of these revisions I added new evidences to prove that Jackson was born in South Carolina. There was one strong- item of proof that I knew of seven, years before I located it, and I have located it since my last publication on the subject. It is a letter written by Jackson, August 11, 1825, to Col. James H. Witherspoon of Lancaster district, one of his boyhood friend^. In searching for this letter, of which I had found mentioned in a newspaper, I had an experience that makes another interesting story. I wrote to a great-grandson of Col. Witherspoon to ascertain what had become of the letter. The young Witherspoon replied that his father had had the letter but had loaned it to Judge T. J. Mackey many years before, and had never been able to get it back. I then wrote Judge Mackey, but got no reply. Remembering that Congressman Aiken had told me not long before to call upon him if I ever needed anything in Washington. I asked him to see if he could locate Judge Mackey in Washington, and ask him if he had the letter and if I could use it. The reply came that Judge Mackey was very feeble; that he admitted that he had had the letter, but that while traveling in Europe some years before, he had lost his trunk and the letter along with it. He stated to Mr. Aiken that he remembered every word of the letter and could repeat it verbatim ad literatim and would make an affidavit to that effect. In 1911, Prof. John Spencer Bassett cji sraiin college, puDiisneu a. nie 01 Jackson and his publishers sent me the volumes. From that work I learned that the Witherspoon letter was among the Jackson manuscripts in the library of congress. It is funny about that trunk, eh? Well, Jackson was more specific in that letter than he had been in any of the other statements of his as to his birthplace that I had previously found. He wrote: "I was born in South Carolina, as I have been told, at the plantation whereon James Crawford lived, about one mile from the Carolina road and of the Waxhaw creek; left the state in 1784." Another Jackson letter even stronger than that has just come to my attention through the courtesy of Jesse T. Gantt of Ellisville, Miss., formerly secretary of state of South Carolina. It was written by Jackson to Robert Mills, the great South Carolina architect and engineer. The state had employed a competent surveyor in each district to survey and make a map of his district. John Boykin, a native of that section, had made the map of Lancaster district. He had located the spot commonly accepted In the neighborhood as the place of Jackson's birth. Mr. Mills, who had fought under Jackson at New Orleans, sent a copy of the map to Jackson and received a very gracious letter in reply. That letter is now in possession of his descendants, the Dimity family, of New Orleans, and was published in the New Orleans Times-Picayune on the 10th, inst., as follows: "Hermitage, July 8th, 1827. " Dear Sir: I have received your favor of the 15th ulto., accompanied with a map of the district of Lancaster within which I was born. For this flattering evidence of your regard, be pleased to accept my sincere thanks. "A view of the map pointing to the spot that gave me birth, brings fresh to my memory associations dear to my heart, many days or pleasure with my juvenile companions; but, alas, most of them are pone to that bourne where I am hastening and from which no one returns. I have not visited that country since the year 1784. Most of the names of places are changed; all the old generation appears to have passed away, and to be succeeded by another more numerous and often differently named. The crossing of Waxhaw creek, within one mile of which I was born, is still, however, I see, possessed by Mr. John Crawford, son of the owner (Robert) who lived there when I was growing up and at school. I lived there for many years and from the accuracy with which this spot is marked on the map, I conclude the whole must be correct. "With great respect, I have the honor to be sir, your very obedient servant. Andrew Jackson." "Mr. Robert Mills, Columbia, So. Carolina." Every additional item of contemporaneous evidence that we find strengthens the case for South Carolina, and I propose that an Andrew Jackson's birthplace memorial association be organized in this state to mark the spot upon which he was born. The women of Mecklenburg conntv. North Carolina, born to the worship of myths, have marked a spot about three miles off. While we all know that "Old Hickory" was quite a vigorous individual, we are not prepared to admit that he was twins or that he was born in two places. A. S. Sally, Jr. Whooping Cough Dangerous. Whooping cough, with a mortality as high as scarlet fever or smallpox, killing young children with convulsions, hemorrhages of the nose and eyes, and lingering pneumonia, inducing fatal or lifelong paralysis through rupture of the blooa vessels in the brain, is one of the winter germ diseases which parents should most carefully guard against, according to a bulletin issued by Dr. Ziegler of Philadelphia. " * * "'J " i o fha Knllnfln'a AVW1U tumaftiuii, la vnv. muiivvi** chief warning. "Watch for whooping cough symptoms whenever your child develops any kind of a cough," is another. "Don't expose your child to the disease with the idea of rendering it immune for the future. The child may die of it." Don't forget that a chronic cough getting worse at night is always suspicious. Don't forget that whooping cough is always more dangerous in winter than in other seasons. Don't forget to keep your rooms well ventilated and of the same temperature; nobody ever died from too much fresh air. 2 Drops of "GETS-IT," Out Comes the Corn! It's tho World's Wonder; N?vor Fails.

Each Clubmaker will be held individually responsible for the payment of the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where it is desired to discontinue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmaker may do so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. When a A subscription has been paid in full, it cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker however may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscrip tlon to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer is to be made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our books. - w No name will be counted in competition for a premium until the subscrlption price has been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Clubmaker has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the s Club. In case of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but where both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting the name for one year for each such payment. After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permitted. This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to make such transfers, they must concede bur right to take such steps as may seem necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who returns names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is not for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the competition. Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postofflce. The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not give that Clubmaker a right to return it this year. All subscriptions moist be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when it is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofflce Money Order. In sending the names, Always give correct names or Initials, and present postofflce address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking the paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much trouble and confusion.
