ORE.. DEC, 4, .... .. 1914 OTHER DATS COMING. The following article, pnrtiuent in its entirety, is from the pen of Rev. A. M. Lambert, pastoi of the Meth odUt Kpieoopal ohnroh of this city: Boys, there at other days oomlng. Tear boyhood day will soon te gone, aad yon aia soon to be etroggling with the problems that belong to men. Tbea, naturally, yea will tm earned back tj that myateiioos something called Memory. Aad memory is aome loing that will atTat die, as by its power yon will tie these daya that are in tba resent past bat tar enough not to c recalled again. Ton will view them either witb regret or plea aura, with joy or with aching hearts. Yon are to be the fatbera of tba boyi of a few yaara henos what kind of a boy wonld yon like vonr boy to be? Do yon wish him to be in every psr tionlar, trustworthy; a boy on whom all oan depend, so far as bis honesty and integrity is oonoeroed, or do yon prefer him to be jnst tba opposite? Wonlil yon like your boy to be the one of whom yon wonld be prond to ay: "This is my boy;" or the kind of boy yon would blnsb to own? Wonld yon rather yonr boy wonld make tbe best use of bis time at sobool or wonld yon rather be wonld be in dolent and idle? Wonld yon like for him to conduct himself so that bis teaobera will feel prondtoaay; "There is a boy I oan trust," or wonld yonr rather be wonld be the reveide? Wonld yonr ratber ronr toy would obooss as his most in timate associates tboBe who are kind and oonrteonstoward their parents or those who are diarespeotfnl toward their parents and soolf eis at tbe Church aud saoied things? 1 I am sure that yon will say in an swer to all these questions: I want my toy to be manly and tine, spending bis time in the wisest and best way and to oondnoting himself that all well disposed people will ears "This is the kiud of boy we need I" Don't forget that yonr father may be anxious that bis boy be tbe kind that yon desire yonr boy to be. It last dollar and last man in this eollossal bell, what la to be the out come? ' ' The Stata Tax Commission that baa raised percentages of values in nearly all counties is, to be abolished and one man will do tbe work in oon neotion witb tbe Railroad and Pnblio Utility Commission. All tbe differenne between looal soraps and tbe world war la tbe size of tbe expense aooonnt and aotoal losa of life Hatred is abont on a par. 'TN "UNLUCKY "BRIG. School Notes- Louis- Greta Lillian Repoits are now beginning to ootne iu to the department from several of the stutea quarantined for tbe foot and month disease tbal persona wbo bave no oonneolion wbatsoevei witb tbe de partment are attempting to pass them selves off aa Federal inapeotora. There are several possible motives that may aooonnt for the existence of these im postors. In the outbreak of 1008 there were lnstauoea of men wbo ob tained money from credulous vlotlma Wbo believed that In this way they would escape the inoouvenlenoe of quarantine and dlainfeotion. This is, of course, a very simple form of ex tortion. Another motive may ta the sale of some qnaok remedy for tte disease. Stook ownera oan protect themselves very easily against this fraud, for there is no speoiUo remedy for tba foot and month disease. Siuoe tba germ baa never been isolated, it has never beau possible aa yet to Hud hot serum that wonld aot either aa a onre or preventive, and tbe potllo may be quite oettain that anyone wbo says tbat be is an employe of tbe Depart ment of Agrioulture, and at tbe same time attempts to sell or even recom mend anything of tbe aort, is simply an impostor. For this reason stock ownera are warned not to allow strang ers to visit their stock or attempt any demonstration! of ao-oalled ourea by Injections or otherwise. Europe should not lose sight of the faut tbat Japan la retiring tbe western nations )tia by one from the Asiatic waters. She retired Russia a few jest, ago, by taking Port Arthur and now aha ban retired Germany. It ia a safe bet Ibnt Japan will never ag.tln allow a Enrc.pean nation to aoqnire stfib a strooH hold on the ooeaua that wash ber own island empire. Those who go to trade in tbe east will mote and more bave to aee Japan about it.

In the opening paragraph of one of bis best stories Kipling wrote: "Let It be clearly understood that the Itussliiu la n delightful persou till be tucks Ills shirt In. As an oriental he la charming. It Is only when he Insists on being trusted aa the most easterly of western peoples that lie becomes n radical anomaly, extremely dltllctilt to hnudle. The host never knowa which side of bis unture Is going to turn up next." There la a somewhat similar (lllliculty with the Mexican. He can be charm ing, but one never knows whether he Is the most northern southerner or the most southern northerner, and bo can change from i: to the tlir with a facility that In almost genliis.-l'blla-delpblH Ledger. k une (luy two inrm inlmivrs were dis cussing the wIseiu'NH of the prvaeut generation. Snld the tr: "Wo bo wlwr than our fathers was, and they were wiser thau their fa thom was." , The second one, nftni' pouderlug a while uml Killing at bis companion, replied: "Well, (large, whnl a fuln thy grand father niuat 'a' uveal' Ones Abandoned, the Marie Celeat Came to a Bad End. There are few people wbo bave not beard of the case of the American brig Marie Celeste, which In 1872 was inex plicably abandoned in calm weather off tbe Azores by a crew never after beard from. Few, however, know that it ended lb) career many years later at the hands of the barrator. On its last voyage it cleared from Boston for Port au Prince, Haiti, os tensibly witb a cargo of valuable gen eral merchandise, Insured for $30,000. When within a few miles of Its desti nation It went ashore near Miragoane and became a total wreck. Tbe cap tain, Parker, promptly sold the cargo, sight uoscen. to American Consul Mitchell for .r,00. Mitchell saved it at some trouble, but lived to wish be hadn't When tbe underwriters' agent arrived on the scene to Investigate, be found several funny things about the cargo. One case shipped as cutlery and in sured for $1,000 contained dog collars worth $50. Barrcla supposed to contain expensive liquors were full of worth less dregs, a consignment of salt flsb Insured for $5,000 was rotten, and other articles mentioned in the bill of lading proved to be in keeping. Consul Mitchell, not only duped, but outlawed, stood not on tbe order of bis going, but cleared out for tall timber, The captain of tbe brig was tried in the United States district court in Boston, convicted and sentenced to a long term in prison, where be died three months later.

"I shall yet be president of tbe club!" Tbe astonish ing fortitude of this ngly member, in the frequent and public acknowledg ment of his natural deformities, de serves tbe highest commendation. The members are requested to be punctual In their attendance, as tbe new members elected at tbe last meet ing and six of the ugly beauties are expected to appear. The propriety of admitting ladles into the club will be discussed. By order of His Ugliness. A Round Trip. The attorney for a street railroad company in a Kenutcky town was ex amining a skinny sixteen-year-old negro boy who bad sued for injuries ostensibly Incurred in a collision on tbe highway. "You say," be asked, "that when this street car bit tbat wagon yon were riding on tbe front seat of tbe wagon?" "Dot's wbut I said," answered the little darky. "And you aay the force of the blow knocked you up In tbe air?" "Yns, sub 'way up iu de air." "Well, how long did yoo etay np there?" demanded the attorney. "Not no longer dan it tuck me to git down!" answered tbe truthful com plainant promptly. Saturday Evening Post Rays From a Searohlight. The paths traversed by raya from a searchlight depend on tbe form of curvature of tbe mirror. If flat, the paths of reflected raya would be the same aa those of the rays received; if the arc of n circle, the . rays will be reflected to one bright focus. To bave a band of parallel rays leave tbe mirror It must be tbe arc of a parabola. Then straight raya will be reflected all parallel to each other. In air, tbe In tensity of this beam of light would diminish, but in absolute vacuum would be .aa Intense at any distance. New York American. The Right Word.
