A One Minute Bu?ne?e Romance
l||j? There was once a young man
named L. S. Starrett, a farmer,
who lives up in Maine. He
liked things mechanical, and he
invented a washing machine, a
butter worker, and a meat chopper?all
of them devices closely
associated with his work on the
farm. But this field did not sat- .
isfy nim, and being restless and
creative of mind, he was continually
looking about for a
chance to experiment. He saw,
for instance, that the carpenter's
square in use at that time was a
/^rn/ln iViinnr nnrl minrVtf Ka iyio/f a
viuuc iJULiLIg, auu tuigui mane
a great deal more useful. 1
Now it took something of an
imagination to see any unusual '
opportunities in such a hum- j
drum thing as a square. It is
men's imaginations that find opportunities
in the everv-day \
things about us. Imagination is
a wonderful quality to cultivate. *
Out of thai combination square <
invented by this young farmer
has grown a great industry,
known far and wide. Many '
other tools followed the square <
and the plant covers acres of
ground in Massachusetts.?Ex.

V. A. DOUGLASS
County Treasurer.
The H&Jd War.
Some years ago Ihe newspapers
of a Vermont city reported
the death of a Mr, Bailey,
one of the best-known and mostrespected
citizens in the town.
He had not achieved eminence,
but he was a lawyer widely
known for his honesty and abil
ity, had held the office of state
railway commissioner for three
years, and was president of ore
of the local banks at the time of
his death. The notable thing
about bis career was that he had
reached an honorable position
in life in the face of difficulties
that most men would have
thought insurmountable.
Wayne Bailey was the son of
a poor Vermont farmer. In his
youth he met with a terrible accident
that caused the loss of
both hands and an eye. Many
of the neighbors predicted that
he would become a "town
charge," but they did not take
into account the young man's
pluck and determination. He
learned to write by attaching a
pen to a rubber band at his wrist,
studied law, and was admitted to
the bar when he was thirty-four.
That he rose steadily in public
esteem, won the confidence of
his clients, and accumulated a
competence for himself we have
already said.'
No doubt Wayne Bailey often
felt the serious handicap of his
crippled condition, but the
chances are that without it he
never would have risen into
public notice at all. Difficulties
in a life are a good deal like ob
structions in the bed of a flowing
stream, if the stream is
slender and feeble, the flow may
be stopped altogether, leaving
the channel below bare and
stony; but if the current is strong

earns force by being lifted to a
higher level. Obstructions and
difficulties count for less than
the current pressure or character
pressure behind them.
i The^yftunsr paan who tajkd
dpprecatingly of his unfavorable
circumstances is preparing his,
hearers for the feport of his failure,
and the report is pretty sure
to follow. A timid spirit
trembles, even in bullet proof
armor, while the brave heart
wins battles with the stones that
others stumble over.?Youth's
Companion.
"It Can Be Done."
"Patience and perseverance
will accomplish all things," was
a favorite saying of an 0I4
miller.
He made this remark on the
train one day on the way to
market, when a pompous indi
vidual in the corner turned to
him crossly and said:
"Nonsense, sir. I can tell you
a great many things which
neither patience nor perseverance
can accomplish."
"Perhaps you can," said the
miller, "but I have never vet
found one thing."
"Well, then, I'll tell you one.
Will patience and perseverance
ever enable you to carry water
in a sieve?"
"Certainly." 4

Poor Kid.
Through the busy downtown
streets a ml wart policeman led
a little child by the hand.
A motherly looking woman
paused before them for amo
ment. Then, in a sudden burst
of sympathy, she bent over the
child and kissed her.
"Poor lamb! She looks so
cold and starved-like; and she
hasn't been washed for a week.
Some folks cannot be trusted
with children, wicked, cruel
things they are. Where did you
find the child, policeman?"
"Find the child woman?"
snorted the policeman angrily.
"I didn't find her at all. She's
my own kid."?Philadelphia

"But my father's bnglness has been
absolutely ruined by the war," protested
Anita Morgan. "I must help
in some way or other."
"You?help!" laughed her chum,
Helen Bennett. "It's so funny!"
They were nearing the theater for
which Helen had tickets, and Helen,
beginning to realize that her friend
was in earnest, could find no reply.
"I can't even make doughnuts for a
woman's exchange. I'm not a good
mender; I'm not a stenographer. I
have no profession, no work of any
kind to turn to, and yet I am determined
to do something to help with
the family expenses, if it's only adding
a few dollars a week. I have
brains and common sense and I know
I can find something."
"I'm afraid it will be hard. Nita,"
said Helen, serious for the first
time. She was beginning to realize
that she, too, would be helpless
when it came to earning money.
As they sat in the theater Anita
watched the ushers running up and
down the aisles busily seating the
guests in the theater. They were
earning their living?those girls. That
was not skilled work?even she, Anita
Morgan, could do that. She was accustomed
to late hours; she was
quick and active and she had a good
appearance.
The following day she went to the
management of a theater and found
employment at once as an UBher. She
did not speak of her work to anyone,
but she saw many of her friends
in the theater. At the end of a fortnight
not a person had recognized her
in her bonnet and with her curls and
quaint costume. In fact, it seemed to

many wooden dolls for all the atten
tion paid them by the audience. And
for this Anita was very thankful.
She became a mystery among hei
former acquaintances. And Anlts
rather enjoyed being a mystery
She gave them no satisfaction?no1
even Helen, her chum.
At the theater she had many odd
and amusing experiences, but the
most interesting people to her were
the newspaper men and women whe
frequented the theater, both in fronl
and behind the footlights, searchinc
for stories, for news, for plots and
situations they could turn into space
for which they received dollars.
Anita had begun to have a broac

a metropolitan theater everyone em

been told more than once, when shi
had been of service in securing ai
Interview with a star or with folki
on and off the stage.
"If I get this interview with Mme
Lurachez," a young newspaper max
fold her one afternoon, "and land it
won't you break your rule and com<
; to lunch with me, just so that I cax
tell VOU how much T a nnroploto mm
tips?"
Anita shook her head, smiling
"No?I'd like to, but I mustn't be
gin," she said.
"You'd not be 'beginning* anything
would you?"
Anita did not answer. It was be
tween the acts at a matinee perform
ance and she was not busy.
"Would you?" the young man per
sisted. "Think?is it fair, the attl
tude you've taken toward me? Yoi
won't tell me who you are, where yoi
live, anything about you. You won'i
let me call on you; you won't com<
out with me. What am I to dn?" h?
asked.
Anita was beginning to blush, foi
she liked the young newspaper mar
better than she had ever admitted t<
herBelf.
"I'm an usher in the Sphere thea
tor, and you may see. me at any per
formance," she 6aid, laughingly.
"Consolation?isn't it?" Roger Mor
row asked. "I Jon't believe I'll trj
to get that interview. If you won!
accept a favor from me I'm hanget
if I'll accept any from you."
Anita looked at him In surprise
"And your career?your pride in youi
ability to secure difficult interviewf
for your paper?" she asked.
The man turned away. "I don't
care anyimng about my career. Whal
good is it, if in its pursuit vou meet
a buily girl, a girl you?well. Sec
here, I'm going to tell you all aboul
it here and now, if you won't prom
ise to come to lunch with me to
morrow. Shall I?" he asked, facing
her and searching her face.
Anita looked at him for a moment
and saw that he was terribly in earn

me anything until you have come tc
my house to meet my mother anc]
father which you may do any after
noon but Wednesday and Saturday,'
she said.
"And you are?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow at lunch,'
she interrupted. "Sh?the curtaln'i
