MONDAY MORNING,
I* It a lint! Time to Vpproarh h Mm
un Humuomm f
"Come in and sec n o Monday morning
and we'll talk it over." said Gassaway,
but Minks replied:
"Couldn't you tnakc it Tuesday morning
or Monday afternoon?"
So it was arranged for Tuesday morning.
ltlnks turned from the telephone
to me with a smile, saying:
"I'm glad he didn't make it Monday
morning. We would never come to u
conclusion then. You see," he continued,
noting my surprise at such a statement.
"Monday morning is the morning
after Sunday. Never approach a man
on business on Monday morning.
"I can't explain why it is, but every
man goes to his of lice on Monday morning
with a grouch. I suppose it's because
he's heen resting up all day Sunday
and sort of hates to tear hiid&elf
away from it. Anyway, I know it is
so.
"Take your own case. I've known
you many years, and whenever you
meet me Monday morning 1 notice that
you are yawning, taciturn and unsmiling.
You had a good Sun lay no
doubt. Either you rested to beat tho
band or played golf or did something.
Anyway, that took your mind off your
business cares. Then you went to bed
rather early, all prepared to get up early
Monday. When the clock went off
you were miserable about rising, and
when you did get up you were ugly to
everybody, it s tne same way witn all
of us. We rest too hard Sundays. Instead
of just relaxing a little we let
everything of the week go and fall all
to pieces in doing what we call recouping.
It's the great American habit.
"That's the reason wo 'have 'blue
Mondays.' Some day, I suppose, we'll
learn how to rest up over Sunday without
completely disorganizing our work
for Monday. If we don't I think it
would he a good idea to cut Monday
out of the business week and begin on
Tuesday."?New York World.
READING THE TREE.
Hot*- tlio ForcMer G?*tn IIh I.ife History
in I)c(nll.
The forester reads the history of a
tree in great detail, says the American
Magazine. After taking out a few
"borings" to the center of the tree at
different heights and counting the
rings on them ho may spin you such a
yarn as this:
"This tree is 150 years old (150 rings
at the base). During the first five
years it grew only seven Inches (145
rings, seven inches from the base).
Evidently it then began to touch
crowns with other saplings, for it took
a spurt and put on fifteen inches a
year steadily till it was forty years
old (forty rings forty-four and one-half
feet above the ground). It was not
growing as fast as its neighbors, howover,
for at tills point it began to be
overshadowed, and its growtii declined
for the next ten years to as little as
four Inches a year (forty-five rings at
forty-eight foot and fifty at fifty feet).
Just in time to save its life something
happened to its big neighbors, presumably
a windstorm, and it resumed
a steady growth of about six inches a
year, having passed its fastest growing
time. Its growth in thickness doesn't
seem to have varied much, about an
inch every throe years. But it grew
faster and faster in volume, of course,
as its holgbt increased?a little over a
cubic foot a year in its prime of life, I
should judge. About thirty yours ago
it reached maturity and stopped growing
in height (thirty rings at the top
of the main stem), and now it is approaching
old age (the last rings are
pretty thin). Hold on n minute?here's
a false ring, twenty, forty, forty-six
years back; two very thin ringssee?instead
of one thick one; means
that something interrupted the growing
season, probably a late frost."
Tlie l)ruK Clerk.
In the old days the drug clerk spent
his spare moments in pounding leaves
and barks for the production of tinctures
and extracts that are now supplied
by wholesale manufacturers.
When he had nothing else to do he
made ointment and rolled pills. The
mortar and pestle were the universal
sign of the trade. But the diverse mod
ern activities or the pharmacist more
tlian compensate for the earlier details
of toil. It is still a time honored practical
jest to ask the apprentice to powder
ten pounds of camphor In a mortar.
After sweating at his task for an
hour or two he learns that camphor
won't powder, though it is readily soluble
in alcohol.?New York Tribune.

MAORI HOSPITALITY.
ItrenuooM Wrlconu Extended to *
I'nrtjr of Travelere.
A traveler In Now Zealand tells of a
native welcome. Ills party drew near
to the central borne of the tribe of
Maoris. "As we rested beneath the
parapets we were startled by a horrible
yell, and round the corner of the
stockade appeared a ferocious figure,
tattooed, rod painted, Ivofenthered and
naked, except for a very brief waist
fringe of dangling palm liber. Ilie
eyes rolled till the whites only wero
seen; then ho thrust out a long and
snaky tongue and grimaced fearfully.
Slinking a wooden spear in his hand,
he swiftly cust It at us, then turned
and rushed toward the village. Just
as tlve spoarsmnn turned one*of our
young men who had rapidly divested
himself of all but his waist shawl
darted out In pursuit, and we followed
at a more dignified pace. Tlvo entrance
to tlvo village was barred by a lxxly of
armed men, crouching ^ill as death,
on one kivoo, each holding a gun, butt
on the ground, barrel sloping toward
us. We advanced until we wero within
twenty paces of tlve warriors. Then
all at once, ut a wild cry from a chief
on the right, they Jumped to their foot,
lcajvod high Ln the air, with thoir feet

one voice literally barked out a thundering
chorus. This way and tliat our
martial hosts bounded, brandishing
their loaded rides In time to the chant.
Halting abruptly, with an earth shaking
thud, they flml a volley of Ivall
cartridge mrr our heads.
"Another volley reverberated from
hill to hill and tlvo bullets whistled over
us. Then tlvo brown warriors fell back

WORSHIP OF SPRINGS.
Haw It l'rcT?ll?d Anionic Knrlr P?#?
plea lu the SoutliTveat.
Springs are rarely found in the southwestern
part of tlio United States, and
for tills reason they have boon from
ancient times prized as a most valued
possession. Hie people wli^ dwelt in
this region, says Walter Hough in
"Records of the Past." saw in these
sources of life giving water the founts
of continuance and well being, and
near them they located {heir pueblos.
Save air, no elements of nature are
nearer to human life than those combined
Into tiie primitive fluid which
must always be within reach of men
who put themselves into the grasp of
tlio desert. The primary knowledge of
the tribes who were the pioneers und
of every human being who has since
made his home in the great American
desert was complete as to the location,
distribution and idosyncrasies of the
water supply.
Spring water is naturally more prized
by the inhabitants of those desert solitudes
than that from lining streams,
because It is always drinkable and always
at hand, while the watercourses,
which for the greater part of the year
arc sinuous reaches of dry sand, furnish
nt flood a quickly disappearing supply
of thinned mud which will not he touched
by man or beast except in the distress
of thirst.
One Is not surprised, therefore, that
a primitive people will regard these
springs as sacred. In fuct, the Indiana
of tiie southwest are not peculiar in the
worship of springs. The sentiment is
worldwide, bus had a vast range of
time, perpetuates itself in the folklore
of tlio highest civilizations and presents
In its manifestations a most interesting
body of myth and fancy. But In the
eouthwest the arid onviroiqntnt has so
intensilled this feature of primitive culture
that no spring in the region ia
without evidence of many offerings to
the deities of water. ,
It is small wonder tlien that the Pueblo
Indians came to regard springs
with special veneration; tliat they wove
around them myth and tradition and
made them objects of roligioius worship.
To one acquainted with the environment
and its radical needs this seems
to have been a natural, even though
unconscious, generalization. Perhaps
offerings to springs will not admit of
such simple explanation. Perhaps the
mystery of the underground source of
water welling up from unknown
depths, Impressive always oven to the
observer who believes himself free from
the trammels of superstition, has also
had a powerful effect on the miml of
the Indian, leading, like many otlier
natural phenomena, to an attitude of
worship of unseen powers behind these
masks.?New York Tribune.
