. The new principal of Elmtown
oianiuiar school was no longer new in
any sense of the word, but he was still
the most talked of man in that little
village. "Schoolmaster's" methods of
punishment and his ideas on various
matters were of never-ending Impor
tance to the village gossips.
Not only about the dinner table of
many a country farm was the school
master discussed. For although Rich
ard Brown had been teaching in Elm
town nearly a year, he was still re-
arded with lively interest by his asso
ciates at the district school.
The greatest cause of this Interest
lay in the fact that Mr. Richard Brown
had never been known to ask an un
necessary question, nor to display the
least interest in any question under
discussion. Village gossips said "That
there Mr. Brown is lacking In a nat'ral
sense of curiosity."
Jessie Dearing, the primary teacher,
who possessed a good sense of humor,
was very much amused by this man.
and determined to have a good time in
making him show the curiosity which
she was sure was there.
Miss Dearing's opportunity to test
Mr. Brown came sooner than she an
ticipated.
A wealthy farmer in Elmtown had,
upon his death, left Elmtown high
school a substantial library. Richard
Brown thought that this library
should be catalogued, and so asked
Miss Dearing and Miss Barton, his as
sistants at the school, to assist him.
They consented, and the next Saturday
was decided upon as a good day to do
the work.
When Miss Dearing awoke on Sat
urday she found that it was raining
steadily, but being a good sport as
well as a healthy girl, this did not dis
turb her in the least.
Ten o'clock found Richard Brown,
Miss Dearing and Miss Barton at work
in the school library.
At noon they stopped work and went
home to lunch, Miss Dearing and Miss
Barton going to a near-by farm, and
Mr. Brown driving back to his board
ing place.
Mr. Brown said that he would be
back at one o'clock, but when Miss
Dearing and Miss Barton returned at
quarter after one, he had not arrived.
As the schoolmaster had the key to the
school, there was no way for the girls
to get in.
Miss Dearing thought that this
would be as fine opportunity to make
Mr. Brown display his curiosity, If
they could get in. Miss Barton
agreed, but could see no way of get
ting in.
After some time Miss Dearing ran
over to the next farmhouse and bor
rowed a screwdriver. Unscrewing
several of the Iron bars which crossed
the basement windows, she was able to
open the window and squeeze In. It
was very easy then to replace the bars
and run upstairs to let Miss Barton
in.
Miss Dearing's next thought was to
return the screwdriver, but as she
opened the door she was confronted
by Mr. Richard Brown.
"I was just looking to see if It were
still raining," she said, dropping the
screwdriver behind her and not noting
that It fell Into her umbrella.
Miss Dearing was very angry with
Mr. Brown as well as herself, and it
did not decrease her passion to find
that Mr. Brown had no Intention of In
quiring how she and Miss Barton had
gotten into the schoolhouse. Instead
he went quickly to his work without a
question.
It was quite dark when the cata
loguing was finished, and Mr. Brown
announced his Intention of walking
home with Miss Dearing, who lived
some distance from the school.
It had stopped raining during the
afternoon, but just as Miss Dearing
and Mr. Brown started up the street
tt began again. Miss Dearing raised
her umbrella and, to her horror, out
dropped the screwdriver which' she
had entirely forgotten.
Mr. Brown picked up the offensive
article and put it Into his pocket with
out a word. Neither did Miss Dearing
speak about the screwdriver the rest
of the way home.
When they reached Miss Dearing's
gate Mr. Brown took the screwdriver
from his pocket and, looking at it,
said:
"Jessie, I suppose yon have heard
that ridiculous story about my lack
of curiosity, and are wondering why I
did not ask how yon. and Miss Barton
got Into the schoolhouse."
As Miss Dearing did not reply, he
continued. -
"Well, I once made up my mind, just
as an experiment, that I should not
ask unnecessary questions. Just a
whim, I suppose one would call it, but
not a bad one after all. I really have
a good bump of curiosity, and Just now
I am wondering what a certain young
lady by the name of Jessie Dearing
thinks of a man named Richard
Brown. Will she tell me V
Jessie's answer must have been sat
isfactory, because it was some time
later, In spite of the rain, that Rich
ard said:
"Shall we keep the screwdriver to
use In the Cottage of Roses next
year?

DESTROYER HARD TO BEAT
SURE CURE FOR INSOMNIA
Eat Pint of Peanuts and Drink Threa
Glasses of Milk Before
Retiring.
Recently a friend who had heard
that I sometimes suffer from Insom
nia told me of a sure cure. "Eat a
pint of peanuts and drink two or
three glasses of milk before going tc
bed," said he, "and I'll warrant vonU
be asleep within half an hour." I did
as he suggested, and now for the bene-
nt or ethers who may be afflicted with
Insomnia I feel it my dutv to renort
what happened, so far as I am able to
recall the details.
First, let me say my friend was
right. I did go to sleep very soon after
my retirement. Then a friend with
his head under his arm came along and
asked me if I wanted to buy his feet

dragon on which I was riding slipped

mountainside the brakeman came in,
and I asked him when the train would

"We passed your station over 40G

pocket.

MA?v! im HARD TO ANALYZE
Observation Will Enable One to Deter
mine the Qualities Which Will
Make Him Valuable.
The qualities that go to make up a
man are tremendously complex and yet
It Is possible by close scrutiny and
keen observation to analyze a man and
understand him more clearly than he
sees himself. There are certain cardi
nal mental and physical characteristics
which can be determined by a visual
examination made by an expert. In
like manner can be determined the
mainspring of the man as exemplified
In what we ordinarily consider the
various parts of his will, or those fac
tors which govern his actions. The
practical application of the studies
taken together with his exerience and
history is then apparent. Knowing his
various physical and mental character
istics and , his experience, we know
what sort of work he Is able to do.
Knowing his will and what might be
termed spiritual characteristics, we
know what he will do, provided sur
rounding circumstances permit." With
this In mind we would place each one
of our present or new employees at
such work as he Is best able to do, and
we see that this Is not necessarily that
which he has always done, although In
general it does have a more or less
close relation with that. Industrial

Veteran Dies In the Harness.
Having entered the United States
navy in 1ST8, serving on many ships
and many stations, Chief Carpenter
Alonzo C Burroughs died at his home
In Norfolk. Va on April 1G, as a sailor
would want to die, in active service.
Although he had a long and honorable
record of service, and had attained the
age of sixty-six years, Mr. Burroughs
came back Into the service at the out
break of the war and was placed on
duty at the Norfolk navy yard. He
was made a ship's carpenter In 1879, j
and 20 years later, while on duty at j
Newport News, was made a "chief. His !
service included cruises on the ,Monon- j
gahela, Vermont, Independence, Frank
lin, Lancaster, Yankee, Iowa and -Texas.
: - Consolation.
, A young probationer was preaching
his trial sermon in a church in one of
the Inland villages of Scotland. After
finishing the "discourse," he leaned
over the pulpit and engaged in silent
prayer, an act which surprised the
congregation, who were unaccustomed
to such procedure. Suddenly the
young preacher felt someone slapping
him gently on the shoulder, and on
turning around he beheld the deacon,
who said: "Hoot, mon, dkma tak It
sae mlckle to heart; yell mSybc dae

Tax Your Business ?
Think this thought twice over: "If we should
fail to win this war what would happen to my business?"
What is left of business in the' invaded districts
of France and Belgium? What will be left of busines - here,
if we fail to crush the sinister power "of Prussian militar
ism? How much would you have left after paying-the
taxes and levies imposed by-a victorious Germany?
Defend Yourself With
LIBERTY BONDS
This is not only a war for Democracy and Liberty,
but a war of self-defense. Germany menaces our rights, our
self-respect, our homes, and our means of livelihood.
Every citizen every business man has weapons
of defense ready to his hand. These weapons are Liberty
Bonds. We cannot all fight with guns and bayonets but we
can all fight with Liberty IBoncIs.
Buy to Your Utmost
Of course you have bought Liberty Bonds. Every
one has. But how many more will you buy? The success
of the Fourth Loan and of the war itself depends on your
answer to that question. :
Buy all the bonds you can. Go to your hank and
make your arrangements. Buy more than you ever thought
you "could buy. - .
