Mr. Carr, w-ho Is president of the Durham Hos iery mills, goes on: “I thought In my youth that rules made order and that a certain military discipline was es sential; that It w’as foolish to humor people and all that,- nor was I going to recognize Certain local traditions about days on which no work should be done. For Instaiice, I made up my mihd that quitting work to go to the circus was not In accord with the best Industrial practices. “The first circus came to town about three months after we took charge of the mill, and I was keen for the test. We posted positive orders that the reg ular hours of work were to be observ ed on that day, and that any person who went off to the circus would be discharged. The full force reported as usual on the rooming of circus day, and I went home to dinner confident that at last we had brought order. 'It gave me a bit of a pang, for I should have liked to go myself I “But duty is a stem master, and reflecting on that fact I hurried back to the mill. Noticing a crowd in a side str**et, I stopped to look. It waa our whole mill force wending Its mer ry way to the magic tent!

Curioys Clubs. The recent announcement that an English “Bald-Headed Men’s club" had JuSt met—the first time since 1916, owing to the war—serves to recall qne or two odd clubs. “The Fat Man’s dub.” for Instance, was known to exist in Paris In 1897. Its heaviest member turned the scale at 336 pounds and the chief qualifica tion for membership w’as to weigh at least 220 pounds. About this time there also met In New York the “Society of the Pointed Beards”—a most exclusive club. No one was eligible unless he had a care fully cultivated heard of natural growth and terminating In one sym metrical point half an Inch from the apex of the chin. At two club dinners In 1898 even the eelery was berved with its leaves trimmed to a point. » Of eA sms Ammmetr eetmtie tbe eg te eettgiaff *w ■mmss sneCgC wtume Hi eel f eAme hi figs Jlemhae lb*tpeee f•%#%*# Me ggeesmw H dsewe the *g#t tp ammeagageem swpeme amt •«*%• gs tgw fitmi |g eg# tmiapp *f she* teats fheeteeuMie fhw *%*«#«# mwg ha eaumtagfte * mew % w •* aha (be* we it# egAmal \ ***ee g -e at mgeetugg ee*e #f ma i...' • te* • e g eeeee et me *#% ft# ttMgk te tMgfWli ggesmwee *w theie taw nm we tw etnee the hm e tseesegee eewthgp tee amAgwei sh# *♦ ’ flt# m egeeg egetheg emi tMeg *w *«-### hadt me eteedl g* *• g hfmt et ^hee-eef # e hwg geet f a*e eege# gmt gMegmg gi §#egevmf etfg# fgee etggeeeA gfte# flMge Sweg Meet te g teeg «m% egpaeuf*uMNei WeeMags#. , eewe *« • t#gA Mt# eem# ima# emee* *g# tee» #«#t *# ^gffeeg^eee *1# wgA ■'hejjJpwsA Thomas, a Kempie. “Here in the service of the Lord Thomas a Keropls lived and wrote •The Imitation of Christ.'" are the words that appear on the foot of the monument to the author recently erected at ZwoH*.

Nick Carter has come Into his owu again. The king of the ’•paperbacks” has made a record-breaking return to popularity. About eighteen months ago his sales began to mount steadily nntil the entire supply of Nick Carter books was exhausted, says the Sun. Uls return to fame was unexpected. It was not the result of an advertis ing. campaign, for the publishers of the paper-bound books do not adver tise. They depend Instead for the sale of their books on the lists printed in the back pages of each volume. And Nick Carter was not the only member of the “paperback” tribe to return. All the old favorites—Laura Jean Llbbey, Bertha M. Clay, Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southw’orth and Augusta J. Evans—have “cqgoe back” surpris ingly. Five years ago everyone was will ing to predict that the movies had killed the production of cheap books. Thrills could be absorbed more quick ly from the screen than from the print ed page—and the price was the same. Publishers of the paper books are uncertain whether their old reading public has tired of the motion picture or whether a new clsss of readers has arisen. Of one thing they are certain, though, the demand for the 10 and l.V cent book has Increased fourfold. If it were not for the Increased cost of ptoductlon these publishers would be reaping the harvest of their Uvea. fitoiies of American life—as seen by Bertha kf. < lay and other writers of her r1a«s—and detective sturtes are moat In demand ^ortene-tetltnc bcmfcj and letter wrttera also have a large steady ml# “pregm** beoks were never ae pepnlar at they are Me < dejr, tbetr ynillsA »re aay. * ef g p#Mewee weewd egfl by Be •• Bwa «Aeegm% mi twgAeg a#ee t##i f eggewd ge Mi# e«n*We tg e eeeg «#<g fa# tme pMB#n gmf eamen anendke gmf I dkem am mgw ef itam fWv «MBf be Wee eegewag *w **nvms aid *%• m»e Teev a ef Ow^a Aa »» «*,*• %• "tl m eett t» | md a# twrry %f m. wawad gf BgB* ! mg g HmvB eg ggeg #«ak" A mrr% ef wWa warn * Tint m g gmenmaing w«rtB 1 Bnvtng,, • w« Bet |i w a Warns# Wm I ewm •# tw a«#«*g eg a any tagee m *Be nigdMa M # %emee Bag!
