Sutit'a Scors Card.
Our Susie keeps a baseball score.
Just like a regular fan.
She waves It when the bleachers roar
And marks it same's a man;
She munches peanuts through the
game,
She stretches like the rest.
And cheers the sound of Matty's name
With proud an dswelling chest.
Sometimes, she's so excited that
She tally's in a Slam
And jumps when Larry takes a bat
And starts the ball to lam;
She dances when her heroes win
And trembles when they fall
And often sharply through the din
You'll hear her cry: "flay Ball!"
She writes golf terms across the card
And claps the homing hikes.
She hisses at the umpire hard
When he counts out on strikes.
She (|uestionmarks each rival run.
But underlines her side;
la ciphers that your sense* stun
She indicates u slide.
L'pon the pryamids,
Or ancient tablets writ with flint.
Sue has them all on skids.
Tell me not of the Sanskrit sheet
Or mystic Chinese lore.
They're easy to the secret sweet
When Sister keeps the score.

An Analogy.? During a financial
stringency in a Pennsylvania town
some years ago a clerk in a bank was
trying to explain to a stolid German
why the bank could not pay cash to
depositors as formerly, and was insisting
that the man should be satisfied
with clearing-house checks.
The man could not grasp the Idea,
however, and finally the president of
the bank was called in to elucidate
matters. After a detailed explanation
of the financial situation, the
president concluded with: .
"Now. my good friend, you understand,
do you not?'
"Yes." was the reply, "I t'ink I do.
It's Just like dis: When my baby wakes

Medical Wisdom.?Old Doctor?
"Now, when your patient asks you for

Young Doctor?"Find whnt .she

Old Doctor?"Wrong. No success
in that method. Whenever your patient
has diagnosed her own case and
tells you she needs a tonic, you prescribe
a tonic every time."
Young Doctor?"Why?"
Old Doctor?"Don't you guess
why? Because she will then have to
see that you know almost, if not
quite, as much ubout medicine as she
does!"?Judge.
Conserving the Ague.?To a native
of a certain section of the southwest

tendencies a St. Louis traveling man
said:
"I notice that there is a great deal
of ague hereabout"

his dumb animals to know as
much as he, proves that they do.
"Many a man, says Uncle Ned, "Is

You can always tell that a man Is
growing old when you hear him refer
to himself as being "so many years

"Some of our politicians ought to be
careful to use only the purest language,"

"They are so frequently obliged to eat

Ths Allegory of the Four Flies.?A
celebrated food expert tells of an allegory
that runs as follows:
Four flies, making their way into a
pantry, determined to have a feast
One flew to the sugar and ate heartily,
but soon died, for the sugar was full
of white lead.
The second chose the flour as his
diet, but fared no better, for the flour
was loaded with plaster of Paris.
The third sampled the sirup, but his
six legs were soon raised in the air, for
the sirup was.colored with aniline dye.
The fourth fly, seeing all his friends
dead, determined to end his life also,
and drank deeply of the fly poison,
which he found in a convenient corner.
He is alive and in good health. That

IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE tl
P
Why the Professional Has Advantage
of the Amateur.
There ia aa much professionalism ci
In the fighting of war as In prizefight- t<
ing. The following statements by an n
American general. West Point gradu- fi
ate, help to understand the task that tt
Germany puts before this country and
the allies. ri
ai
The Germans alone knew about
this kind of war and have prepared 4
for it. tJ
West Point neither taught nor knew* fc(
anything like tt except for observation
and recent study. It is as new to the
veteran American or English officer
as to the nineteen-year-old recruits. ^

ignores wounds, endures everything, ir

To understand what this war means ti
you must know that a Prussian officer il
can rely on his men as though they t<
were so many posts of steel auto- ti
matically moving or standing, us he ci
commands. m
d
People ask how soon after they are
enlisted can they be made ready for
this kind of fighting. They are a(
surprised to hear that three months'
preparation or six months' prepara- r|
tion is little better than nothing and
guarantees nothing. n.
What are three or six months of
discipline in training compared with jn
the Herman soldier training and dls- OI
clplined from the cradle? w
Newspaper dispatches talk about
throwing in reserves, but the truth Is
that reserves lucking the discipline
of years can not stand.

and after a bullet has struck him he 111
still looks for his signal, and obeys it 8,i
exactly as though he had not been
hit. ni
sl
Not only the German soldier In the tb
field but'the whole German nation, tb
the public, fathers and mothers, men n?
in public life, have all alike been l>i
trained and disciplined from their
childhood. The German nation works
now in one direction, like one single is

Here in America you have all kinds ai
of men, from Mr. Roosevelt down, m
telling the president what he must do
and how the war must be won. 5fou p(
have women, and prohibitionists, and rj(
clergymen and various societies giving
orders to the head of the nation. to

Germany is fighting with complete ^
reliance on every citizen at home, on
every organization, every inhabitant 1>#
within that iron ring of trenches and j
steel. er
Germany is working with absolutely
safe reliance upon every disciplined c{]
man fighting in the field. a
It is only necessary to give the or- .
der, and It is obeyed. Sj
The German nt home accepts star- gc
vation or semi-starvation or sixteen
working hours?and here you must ^
promise your men that they will work fr
only eight hours on national defense ^
work, and get double pay If they d{
ask it.
1<
But, most important of all. you must
remember that Germans in the
trenches or out of the trenches, waitIng
for the commander, rushing across ^
the bloody fields with shells exploding 0
around them, are so thoroughly dls- ^
ciplined that nothing checks them,
confuses, or bewilders them.

are doing. "
at
So much for the view of an expert- tJl
enced American general familiar with tfl
the war's problem. You know the n<
difference between a professional and ol
an amateur prizefighter. A profes- tl'
sional, inferior in character, moralB, t0
or even physique, has a great advant
age over the amateur. When he is ?*
knocked down he distinctly hears the tJl
referee counting, knows enough to.rest ^
while he may, and gets up as the referee
counts nine. * **
The professional keeps his head in fl(
"the clinches," knows when and 63
where he should strike in the breakaway.
Two men being physically and tl1
mentally equal, one a professional and t}l
one an amateur, the professional has re
at least three hundred per cent the ri
advantage. c<
r?
r?
Germany, the German people, the ej
German army, the German common
soldiers are all "professional fighters." yj
Every man has been disciplined ^
from childhood and trained u a |(]
fighter from his young manhood. c(
Every' one has been taught that the ?(
worst crime is disobedience. w
The trained professional German yj
fighter knows that he may be killed,
if he goes ahead and obeys orders.
He knows that if he disobeys he ^
will be killed to an absolute certainty. rJ
dl
Thla country and the allies are Bi
amateurs, men that have thought for C|
themselves, never learned to take b,
orders. They have lived as men Q]
should live In civilisation, as free men bl
thinking for themselves, but when war ^
begins and the occupation of the ]e
world is murder, these amateurs - of
democracy questioning, deciding, are C|
like the untrained men against the ^
professional prisefigbter. Sl
To read what Is written here is not a
pleasant, tor It means long fighting, a<
and some Inevitable disappointment, tt
When a decent man resents the in- la
suits of a professional bruiser he Is s,
pretty sure to be knocked flat. In spite w
of having right on his side. And na- m
tion ct nations that confront Europe's el

THE NEW ARMY RIFLE. '
merican Military Experts Say It Is I
The Best Weapon Made. *
The chief of ordnunce of the United j
tates army has authorized the followig:
,
American troops are armed with a
ister firing and more accurute rifle (
ite called "rapid Are," which is the
ost rapid rate of magazine tire constent
with quick accuracy. When ?
le Mauser rifle, with which the Geran
troops are now armed, was degned
in 1898 no one could fresee s
le development of "rapid Are" from a
ic shoulder which followed and the 1
>cessity for which is emphasized by
-esent-day trench warfure.
Bolt Handle in Modern Riftea.
In all modern rifles a "bolt handle"
used to lock the cartridge In the
lumber for tiring. After each shot
le right hund must leave the trigger,
asp the bolt handle, unlock the bolt,
ect the empty shell, thrust home
mother cartridge?all done by moveents
of the "bolt handle"?and
icn push the "bolt handle" Into the
>sitlon which again locks the eartdge
In the chamber. Thus the posi>n
of this "bolt handle" in reference
the trigger is of great importance
rapidity of Are. The Mauser rifle
is the "bolt handle" projecting horln
tally from the rifle,, so that in 8
the imlm i
trigger finger Is left several inches j
>ove the trigger. c
When the United States rifle, model ?
' 1903 (populary called the Spring?ld)
was designed, the length of the t
irrel was reduced form 30 to 24 1
ehes so that tho ritlo thus Bhort- '
led could be used by both Infantry t
id cavalry. The carbine had been I
irrlcd by the cavalry for years in t
leather scabbard attached to the (
Jo of tho saddle. To allow the 1
ringfleld rifle to go roadtly into a *
abbard and to protect its rear sight, '
ie bolt handle was bent down toward
le trigger so that it locks a little in
unt of it. It was little realized at
ie time what great advantage "this
?lgn would ultimately result in.
In the United States rifle, model of
117 (popularly called the Modified
nfleld), the bolt handle is bent not
lly down but also about an inch to
ie rear so that upon locking the bolt
r firing the index finger is guided
iturally into position for firing. This
ature was adopted from the British
nfleld rifle, model of 1914, as made
America, for Great Britain. The
>ee<l of firing thus gained is conderable.
Tho contrast in the poslon
of the sights in the two rifles is
jst illustrated by a simple example.
a pencil Is held between the eye
id a door knob it may be seen that
ie farther the pencil from the eye,
ie greater the movement of the head
;cessary to cause an equal amount
lateral displacement In the poslon
of the pencil. Assume the pencil
> be the position of the rear sight
' a gun and the door knob the front
ght; the nearer the rear sight to
ie eye, the slighter movement of the
ead brings the eye in position to
ght the gun. The rear sights on
>th the modified Enfield and sprlng?ld
rifles are placed nearer to the
re of the flrer than In the case of
te Mauser rifle. The rear sight on
le Mauser Is placed well forward of
le receiver on the barrel, while the
>ar sight on the Springfield is placed
ght against the front end of the re-~ ?
river. The modified Enfield has the (
ar sight on the rear end of the
ceiver, immediately in front of the
re of the flrer.
The modified Enfield is also proded
with a large "open peep" near
te eye, through which the eye easily
oks and quickly and automatically
mtres itself in aiming. This large
>pen peep," combined with its rearard
position, gives a good field of
ew, permitting the rifle to be qulck-N
pointed at an advancing enemy,
icldentally, the rearward position of
le rear sight on the modified Enfield
fle lengthens the sighting radius (or
Istance between the front and rear
ghts), resulting in lncroased acjracy.
The weight of the Mauser
ullet Is slightly greater than that
T the United States bullet and the
ullet is propelled at a somewhat
renter velocity, but the Mauser bultt
Is of a peculiar shape, such that
t the longer fighting ranges It is not
>nsldered by many of our rifle exerts
as accurate as the United
tates ballet, because more apt to
unble or "keyhole" at thohe ranges,
ipecially when the wind Is blowing
rross the range. It is also known
tat the Mauser rifle, produced In
rge quantities for the German
>vernmeat and others, is not made
ith the mechanical accuracy denuded
in the manufacture of the
lamber and bore of the United
!ates riflesL One of our rifle ex-]
lan used by the Germans, according j
i our expert designers, manufuc- (
irers and marksmen. One military ^
rltlc and writer (Edward C. Cross- j
lan) claims that the German Mauser
oes not permit the most skilled user
? get more than 50 per cent of the
ring speed of the modified Enfield
lopted for the United States service.
If the rapidity of fire of one army's
fie is twice that of the weapon used
y enemy riflemen, and the forces
unierically the sume strength, the
irmer has in effect, other things be- 1
ig equal, two rwemeii 10 in*,- wwmj a
tie. Hence to make two bullets lly .
here one tlcw before has been one of
te main objects sought in gun design
ncc organized fighters found a more
Tective way to battle thun the primive
stage of throwing missiles at '
le another. ,
The superiority cluimed for the
merlcan weapon Is supi>orted on
iree counts: Quicker firing as a relit
of bolt handle design; easier
id quicker sighting as a result of
ght design; greater accuracy of
jllet flight as a result of bullet degn
and greater mechanical accu- j
icy of chamber and bore. In both
le attack and defense of trench potions
the rifles are fired without reovlng
them from the shoulder at a
pert*, who recently ftred a captured
German rifle, states that the bore
was not as accurately finished as In
the Springfield rifle, nor was the rifle
ammunition as accurate.
The modified Enfield rifle has been
received with satisfaction in the National
Army camps and some remarkable
scores for men untrained in military
rifle shooting have been made.
Indian Witch Doctors.?That insects
are carriers of many diseases was an
accepted idea among Cheroket medi:ine
men long before it was thought
af by modern physicians.
The theory of these aboriginal
'witch doctors" was (and is today)
that insects, being constantly crushed
or otherwise destroyed by human beings.
seek revenge by establishing
communities under people's skins, thus
producing an irritation that results in
revere, boils and other maladies.

largely in incantations that are
supposed to drive out the evil spirit

the trouble. Somewhat elaborate
