To be within tho circle of our Influence is not' dependence hut a privilege. Not all the wealth of the Kust can repay .the riches we bestow.

I LEONARD T HE STORY of Second Lieutenant Wnud'.s sudden rise to fortune will not be complete until tin; inevitable semiel is written. For to all sueli stories there is a sequel, and nine times out of ten it is rather sud reading. Those mysterious laws of chance which govern gambling, have never been determined, but that there are such laws, ynd that they have a surprising habit of ultimately demanding their pound of flesh, every old-time gambler will admit. Of course, young Wood may because of the unusual publicity resist the inevitable "second call" will only be the exception to prove Kasy come, easy go invariably whether it is gambling in stocks or chance with the ponies. Of course, there is u gambling reason to believe that when most successful business careers are analyzed, it will be found that hard work, keen judgment, creative effort and conscientious service, permanent profits and the mere counted for comparatively little. The unfortunate feature of the standpoint is that unless the young sensational in the future, the sequel will never be known. 'He may enter the diplomatic service, for example, and be of no more value to ilis country, than a plugged nickel, some beauty, or has his neck broken in a polo match, or does some thing equally theatrical, the public was directly due to the fact that he too easily and may not realize it then. In this gambling game the successes are always headlined, the J'.iilures which outnumber the successes aliont ten thousand to one, are seldom known. As a result the flame of chance keeps burning brightly, and the moths keep flying to their death. It is really very unfortunate. Some philanthropist could do a great service for posterity, if he would follow ciireers like .vomitf Mr. Wood, to the end, and publish his re ,, rni , ... ... , .

Onee, where the bright, lights used to glow she fooled with gilded vice, ami all she knew or eared to know was joy at any price. And foolish damsels envied her as on her way she sped, and longed to flaunt their silk and fur and paint the landscape red. And where roof gardens were alight, I rose, rebuking sin, and rooting strongly for the right and roasting Kvelyn. For no rebuke of mine she eared, though Vouched in words sublime, and all the decalogue she dared, to have a red hot time. She had her red hot time for years, she said to care, "Aroint!" and now in misery and tears, she seeks the hophead joint. Onee she was beautiful and fair, ami had a wondrous. charm, and for her smile benign and rare a man would trade a farm. But pleasure was the only thing for which by day she schemed, and pleasure was the sceptred king of whom by night she dreamed.

Address Or. William Brady, In care of thla newspaper. A Good Pruc A high school teacher whd Indulges in freiguent coughs and, as she calls them, "colds," delivered to the pupils who are exposed to iler a 10 minute talk on excuses for absence. She made It quite clear that pupils who re mained out of school with a "mere cold" were cens u r a b 1 e. Why. she boasted, she hud ' one right then which made It difficult for her to Bpeak, yet she man- aged to be in school. Much fatigue, Irritability, and prob This teacher Is a ably business inefficiency is caused by great believer In "homo work," by the way. Any teach er feels competent to teach practical hygiene. hero are Home excellent excuses for absence from school. One of tho best monitor proof excuses for ab sence for a day or two is coryza. Every schoolboy knows what coryza Is. or If he doesn't know he will prob- ably look it up now What makes coryza such a good excuse is not that it keeps the teacher guessing but tho fact that a pupil with coryza has no right to be in school even tho he is able to drag himself there. Nobody can be reason ably sure that the coryza' will not prove to be a serious disease und h proud among o titer persons in the school run in. Indeed, In the better conducted schools nowadays a pupil showing Indications of coryza is promptly excluded as a plain matter of safety for the other pupils. A teacher who would go to school un masked when she has an alleged cold" is a dangerous person. So my message to school boys and school girls Is this: Stomachache Is longer necessary as an excuse to remaih out of school. Just begin sneezing und running at the nose a little and wearing a mask of 10 layers of gauze. The coryza which warrants remaining out of school a day or two equires you to isolate yourself from folks everywhere else unleHH you go masked. If you wear a suitable mask it is quite safe for you to remain In school when you havo coryza. If the teacher wore a mask It would bo safe enough for her to come to school with her alleged "cold." , QrKHTIONS AM) ANSWKHS Caluro .

' OR EXCEED OUR EXPECTATIONS ' AND A husbnnd IS VERY seldom i , , . AN HXCEPTION TO THE rule AND IT Isn't policy TO I1ARHOR suspicion IT IS better TO CALL for a "show down" ...

ONK IS inclined TO IMAGING things WICKKDER THAN thoy are AND I can remember SOME YEARS back WE MOVED over INTO A new neighborhood Ileal Kxcuse shines on my desk all day long, and I have been told that the small lines at the corners of my eyes are caused from the strain. Is there anything 1 can uss to prevent them from being so noticeable and not harm the skin? (B. J. E.) Answer. Havo the light placod in relation to your desk or your deBk in relation to the lamp so that the source of light is not within your field of vision aa you sit at work have the light in a plane above and behind your eyes. Put an opul or frosted or yellowish or grayish or brownish tinted globe or shade over the lamp needless glare. People often fail comprehend that glure is rather blinding and annoying; a softened or diffused light (frosted or other trans lucent but nut transparent globe) nieuns easier vision and a more at tractive businessafmosphere. Infection itl Gull Bladder Kindly tell me what 'causes infec tion of the gall bladder and gall stones (Mrs. B. M. A.) Answer. Chiefly , certain pathoge nic germs which reach the lining of the gull sac thru the circulation. The 'typhoid bacillus is one of the com inonest causes, the gall bladder in flammation following typhoid fever. Living typhoid germs have been found In the center of gull stones more than thirty years after tho fever. Most typhoid "carriers" grow the bacilli In their gall sacs. The colon bacillus Is responsible fur some cases; the colon bacillus is a normal Inhabitant of the Intestine, ordinarily nonpathogenic (not producin disease) but capable of assuming pathogenic virulence under-certain abnormal conditions. In a few ases the pncumococcus is re sponsible, many persons with recur ring or chronic tonsilltis, sinusitis and other lesions of the respiratory tract harboring a fairly virulent culture of pneumococcus. which is capable of setting up various focal Infections, such us cholecystitis (gall sac Inflam mation). A nidus or clump of germs In tho gall sac, with a bit of mucus or epithelium, favors the deposit of sub stiinces from the bile to form giU stones. Occasional or moderate indul gence In wlno or beer is a contribut ing cause of gall bladder inflamma tion and gall stones. So is ordinary overeating eating more, than enough to maintain what should be your nor I mal weight. So is the habit of lazl- I ness getting by without a reasonable ainount of dally exercise AND THE folks next door STAYED DY themselves AND NEVER called ' AND ACTED queer , AND THEN ono night WE SAW a light OUT IN their gulden UNDER A tree AND SAW them dlggins WHAT SEEMED to us A SHALLOW grave ANO COVER It again . . . AND THE next nlsht WM'LE THEY were gone V E W ENT over AND DUG it up AND FOUND a bundle OF KITCHEN garbngo AND WE'VE never been SUSPICIOUS SINCE I THANK you.

Today we will fill our popgun with le nden pel leu and aim at the foolish hearts and empty hands of silly flappers and baby whelks, who are re.spons 1 b 1 e for tho vogue of tho petting par- ties. My children, petting parties are perilous pas times. I am quite willing to admit that tho modern iHtic note is ex cusable In court- ships In these days where fifty hours are crowded into twenty-four. 1 I concede that many of the old-fashioned Ideas of courtship are too creaky for the mod ern machinery of the world, but tho easy fumiliurtty to which most girls In this town have become converts, is more tiresome than It is wicked. Of course the girls are wholly to blame. No boy ever kissed a gh'l ugainst her will that is, an- honest-to-goodness. The girl who Imagines that she 'must attain the reputation of being an easy kisser in order to sustain her popu larity with young monsieurs is ter ribly mistaken. And nothing is quite so sad Tn bur speeding' society as the young girl who is mistaken on this particular point. Kvery boy in the world is brought up at home to re spect the sex of which his mother anil sister are representatives. These kiss ing parties, hugging matinees tin-Re aro all cheap and foolish ways of wasting perfectly good time. 1'ettlng parties are perilous pastimes. Swear off, .Indies.
