Key-rings, upon which you can con centrate your responsibilities, are sometimes deslrahle; on the other hand. If lost, the whole hunch must be replaced. I consider the mode of the public bath frequenter, that of wear ing the bath-house key on a rubber ring around the neck, preferable to any other method. It absolutely cannot be lost, unless the bather Is eaten by a shark. Ksther G, Bsbson, in Itostou Transcript GOT MESSAGE FROM LIGHT Famous Man of Letters Tells of Pe culiar Effect 8imple Happening Had on Schoolboy. A friend of mine an old painter, who went to school In the north oi Scotland described to me his expert euce. The dominie had one morning been particularly drastic in his moth odb. and this led to great concent rs lion of thought among the pupils. while at the same time It did not In the least alter the usual current of their Ideas. My friend, for Instance, busied himself' as usual, observing form and color, only with a keener zest and, as I have said, a more con centrated purpose. It was a spring morning, and, for the first time that year, a ray of sunshine came Into the room, making a square of yellow light on the diwty floor at his feet. It was only at that particular period of the year snch a thing was possible; later on there would be too many leaves on the trees, and In winter the sun was not In that quarter of the heavens. My friend was an unhappy and anxious schoolboy, but the events of that morn ing and the menaces of the dominie, combined with the sudden sunlight at Ms feet, made a new boy of- him, and lie looked at the square of brightness which stirred Ills heart. He rauelved. as It were, his mystical message; and some time afterward, leaving school, he became a landscape painter. John Butler Teats. - . Mere TJian a Sign Post. There was once a detective story written whose point lay In the manner Ir. which a very familiar figure may escape observation! In the tale several .persons swore no one had entered a certain building during a certain '.space, "of thne. Afterward It was Tiroved that the postman had visited the place at his accustomed time, but Ieng habit had rendered him psycho logically Invisible to the witnesses. So It Is with the familiar figures upon our streets. How many times a day we may pass by the traffic cop, without perhaps realizing that he Is something more than an animated sign poet, until some act of courtesy awak ens us to the Tact that a "cop" Is sim ply a man. and a gentleman at that. Kor, in spite of the many aggravations that must come during a day of direct ing trullic. most of these officers re tain their good temper, and even go out of their way to assist or direct some pusser-liy. Omaha World Her ald. . Water for House Plants. Water is essential to the life of plants, whether they lie in. the open ground or In pots, for only in the form of solutions in water can the roots suck up the juices of the earth, and It is the water circulating through the channels of the trunk and branches that permits the exchanges between the leaves and the rest of the vege table. I'lants In, n hosse should nut be watered at regular stated Intervals; do the plants out-of-doors receive rain on Tuesdays and Saturdays? They should be watered whenever they need It. This Is (he only safe rule. Ami we can tell when they need It by feel ing the earth lu which they are grow ing; so loot; as this feels moist the plants do net need water. "Blarney" Not Out of F-lace. Lire at best pays hack rather limit ed dividends, and knowing this, we should as ve Journey along lime's thoroughfares, try, whenever the op portunity offers, to bring a smile to tired Hps. Kven though we ,11111st re sort to a "bitf blarney" If we would accomplish this happy result, we cer taltily should do so. Such a course may displease the person who prides nVrself on culling a spade a spade ev()ry time, but folks who approve of toning down, as It were, the sharp edges of .fife, will feel no twlnaes of conscience for playing Midi u role, for there.

'' Ax j i v Tested 250,000 Miles Three-Point Cantilever Springs Greatest Improvement Since Pneumatic Tires OVERLAND 4 has been put through the most thorough and severe test possible. 250,000 miles of mountain trails, desert sand, heat, cold, mud and dust, demon strated the quality of every part of the car long before we began manufacturing. This remarkable test show ed conclusively that Three-Point Cantilever Springs, , exclu sive with Overland, arc the greatest improve ment in riding comfort since the introduc tion ofpneumatic tires. They protect the car frony road shocks and prolong the life of every part. They enable the wheels to hold better to the road. They give greater comfort under all road conditions. They do away almost entirely widi side sway and rebound which twist and rack the car. Diagonal attachmentof the Three-Point Springs at both ends of a 130-inch Spring-1 base gives the steadiness and smooth riding of die heavy car of long wheelbasc. Equipment is complete from Auto-Lite Starting and Lighting System to Marshall Divan Spring Upholstery. Come in and sec this car. Ask for. Booklet.
