A silly scene, which might have been avoided, but became on absolute dead lock. out of which there was only one way The audience was master of tho situation." Rules of tho Game. Industrial a access Is personal. not so clol. Society is not holding n man down: t lio existing soclnl system Is not keeping men at the bottom; It is their own personal deficiencies Ihnt keep them there. Industrial success cnn be won at a price, and the price is ob- i scrvauce of the inevitable rules of the ' game? namely, sobriety. Industry. Rav ing. avoidance of speculation, know!- : edge of human nature. good Judgment. : common sense, persistence, intelligence and Integrity. So social system ever keeps 11 man down who has these qual- j Itle^. Is It not tho best thing for the 1 world io find out that industrial sue- : cess can be won only by the display j of these qualities??.!.

To s Great Extent They Are a Develop ment of Fireworks. War Is a wholesale fireworks cele bration. A giant firecrackor is really a dangerous bomb, aud title grenades are but small rockets, carrying high explosives and tired from rifles. Great fort destroying projectiles look simpl.\ like gigantic rockets. The first magazine gun was u Ho mon candle. The first projectile pro pellcd by un explosive was a rocket. The first shrapnel was a bomb dis charging luminous stars Instead of bul .lets. Modern warfare Is. so to speak, a development of I'onrth of July ideas. However, gunpowder? the first ex plosive? was Itself mere play stuff for at least a thousand years before any hotly thought of using it for war pur poses. It was commonly employed In China for fireworks and crackers dur lug the ^earliest centuries of the Chris tian era. The bombs nowadays dro{> ped by military aviators are children's torpedoes magnified to make them deadly. Really an incendiary bomb was the famous "Greek fire" of the crusaders It has been said that shrapnel is a modified fireworks bomb. It has the form of a cylinder, which, at a dis tance from the gun muzzle suitably timed by a fuse, blows its own hea^J off, throwing out 2fK) or more lead bul lets that travel on their own account with a velocity of *100 feet n second ?

'?? ? ? I /? u K | "When 1 coiue I'll come whlstlln' 1" Tho*c are strange words for an epl ; to pome they sound light, even Irreverent, but that in the sentence Hint Is carved on a marble slab at the head of a grave that hold* the body of an old eolorod man In h burial ground near I,ancaster. During the time . of Sherman's Raid, this old colored man whh a Hervant In it white family of that vicinity. He iv a M tlw driver of the family carriage. When the raid >yas made some of the Federal soldier* toUl this old darkey that he must go to Lancaster. lie went 'i nd told his mistress, who reminded him that he was the only man on the place; that she was sick, and needed him to look after the household. "If I don't go they will kill me," said the servant, "hut I'll he back (lis night. I'll Kit away from 'em dis night an' you will know when I git here, for when I come, I'll come whlstlln." And ' "ome he did. for at three o'clock In the j morning his mistress heard him com- J ing through the yard whistling aa loud and cheerfully aw if trips ordered by l Federal troops were no more than a command to work given by his mis- ' ress. In telling the story time after time In the following years, the lady mentioned said the whistle of the old ?nan wan the sweetest music she ever heard, and as might bo expected the old fellow was buried with honors when his time came, while at the sug gestion of a member of the. family the above sentence was carved on the head stone of his last resting place. Not a bad epitaph after all was- it? We could almost wish such a one for ourselves, for It means much more ?ban n lot of the pious prevarications we have sometimes seen on tombs. Anil why should not this lie a fit epitaph for any of us? Simply because re prefer to be gloomy and morose, ; ' some of uk even like to do that little , t'liit that "Hop" calls turning on the ?ob water, even when little good is nc- ? ! "om pUshed thereby. It is an actual j fact that some people enjoy being un- 1 [happy, going over and over their lm- 1 iglned ills and rejoicing under their I loads of self pity. Such folks love to feed their mentalities on gloom and though the figure may be unkind their I mental appetites are depraved as that of the raven that feeds on refuse, and they continually come tapping on the ! chamber door of people of more cheer ful mood, trying to obscure their sun | tight. Your sorrow may be real, If so von really need cheering; it iff just as apt to lie imagination, if so you ought 'o be taken three miles from a human residence and chased In with a pack I of blood-hounds, to got yonr allmenfji rv organs to working right. After the soreness' was off, and your blood was bounding along your arteries you would be cheerful again. - 1 It Is not loo late to take that for a New Year's resolution, "When I comoj I'll qome wUlntlluV' St irk to It a ml meantime get more out of your life and when It la over ami you two hav? .gone the way of all Ufo your very memory will l?e a pleanure to the ones you leave behind. ?
