There are hosts of young girls who believe in having their fling of gayety today, letting the : f| morrow take care ' v V of itself. It is *. grand to he young, to feel life puls 'mmxmmmm ing through every vein, t 6 be able chalantly, think ing the good times - 'y~ f Who does not ** know whole tfbWf bevies of pretty \ girls who make boast that they attend some jolly affair every evening of the week (Sunday excepted), danc ing far into the wee sma’ hours, and up with the sun the following morn ing, bright as a dollar, and fresh as a daisy, and that it is sheer nonsense to believe continuous rounds of gay ety told on a girl’s health or looks? Turning night into day can be kept up but a certain length of time. The pretty daughter of wealth need not know when the sun rises; it is not a reminder to her that time is passing. She can sleep well into the noonday, wooing the roses in her cheeks to stay by her. But what the heiress may dO with out dismay is positive harm to the pretty shopgirl who has nothing but her energy, health and youth to bank on. No matter how youthful and seem ingly tireless she may imagine her self to be, the nightly pursuit of pleasure will all too soon demand of her its toll. The proverbial forty winks of sleep each night may suffice for a little while, but nature will soon rebel. When the sun throws its first beam of golden light into her room, a sigh instead of a laugh will soon break from her lips and she will wish from the depths of her heart that she could sleep just a little longer—only five minutes more would be a boon. But there’s just so much time to dress, swallow her coffee and rolls and get to her place of business. Time will not loiter for her convenience. She gets up tired. The gay life slowly but surely makes inroads on her health, and no girl who is tired and haggard in consequence can save her beauty for long. Entertaining company in a girl’s own home, if late hours are indulged in, is quite as disastrous. If it is a young man whom a girl hopes to win for a husband who is permitted to outstay the departure hour set by gen eral custom in polite society, she will find that defying judicious social re quirements lowers, rather than ad vances her in the average young man’s opinion. There’s another danger signal for young and innocent girls to heed, though they be rich or poor—and that is, the saucy-looking cocktail or the red, red wine which plays ar> import ant part in gayety which leads to dan ger or perhaps wrecked lives. The girl who allows herself to be coaxed, jeered or cornered intb imbibing liquor has a thorny road ahead of her to travel. One glass creates a thirst for a second, and perhaps a third. Few, if any, young women can imbibe to that extent without losing their heads. Young men escorts who would tempt unsophisticated young women into such a pitiable plight are not safe companions to see them home. Herein lies the most dangerous peril of many a girl's thoughtless reckless ness of being gay today, heedless of the consequence of tile morrow. It is a wonder how some young girls man age to keep in the straight and nar row way, so many traps are set for them. Old heads cannot be put on young shoulders. The thing for parents to do is to set the pace they are to travel while they are in the early teens. Shut down on “every evening out’’ practice. Send away beaux and close the home at 10:30 o’clock. Censor a girl's friends of both sexes, and you’ll bring up a daughter you'll De proud of. IF HE’S WELCOME AT HOME. Some firul work where some find rest And so the weary world moves on. I sometimes wonder what is best. The answer cmnes when life is gone. Some eyes sle#p when some eyes wake. And so the weary night hours go: Some hearts beat where some hearts break. I often wonder why 'tls so.' This world is full of bright, anxious, striving young men who have vowed that nothing can tempt them to burden parents when they are old enough to leave the home roof, and support them selves. It is hard to get a footing for just the right kind of a start. But the youth who is seeking for an honest opportunity, who has left father and mother hundreds of miles away to go forth among strangers and eke out his present and future perhaps, soon learns by bitter experience that it is of no use. to be particular or to harp up on how he was raised; how much he knows Most all young men who are on the eve of bidding their loved ones good by, with the words ringing in their ears: "It may be for years, and it may be forever,” gallantly promise that they will sit down most every night ( and write them how they are getting i along and just all that happens of any interest Among the many, whom the cars whirl rapidly away, there is usual- Successfully Fights Pneumonia. The open air treatment of acute pneumonia is reported by Dr. G. E. Rennie to have achieved notable suc cess at the Royal Prince Edward hos pital of Sydney, Australia. For 6even years Doctor Rennie has kept his own patients in the open air night and day. and quite recently this plan has been adopted for all pneumonia cases in the hospital. Recovery has been rapid in cases that would have re sulted fatally under the old method. The ordi nary conditions of a close hos ly one who is taking his chax.ces a* betterment, which he expects toTind at the end of his journey. He looks va cantly, set wistfully, out at the unfa miliar scenes, so different from his own surroundings. Try as he does, he finds it impossible to fight off the downcasting shadows that loom up before him. Strangers are kinder than one’s own thoughts sometimes. Chance throws many people together, some of whom prove to be valuable aids when the turning point of ones life is reached. Somehow, the wanderer sees an honest light in the eyes of the blunt man who shares his seat with him on the fast-bound express. They chat not like strangers, but as friendly acquaint ances whose natures are worthy and easily read. The young man tells his brief story. He says he has never gone so far away from home before and tells of his earnest intention to pave his way alone. Men’s hearts, in many in stances, open out to those whom they can read like a book and find truthful Ere the journey is over, the young man has received good, sound advice, which is worth a king’s ransom to him as he goes along, the rough places he must climb, the temptations he must face. In the turmoil of his busy days and tiresome nights, he feels able to write only a few lines back to the old folk and dear little brothers and sis ters, now and then. But his idle mo ments are ever dwelling on them as he pictures the old familiar scenes, the home, friends, he has left. It will be many a day, months and years ere they clasp their arms about one another, he realizes. At last, comes the wedding announcement of his fa vorite sister. She sends him a warm, loving letter, inclosing her intended’s picture. Her last lines are that he is welcome home and that his mother, who is failing, hopes daily that her wandering boy will soon come home, if only for a little while. He packs up his belongings, quicker than it takes to tell and speeding back with a light heart, forgetful of his trials and homesickness, he shouts his own welcome home as he rushes across the threshold, smiles amid his tears and is at his best in the bosom of his family and old home. HOW LONG DOES LOVE LAST? E’en In the happiest choice, where fav’ring heaven Has equal love and easy fortune given. Think not, the husband gained, that all Is done; The prize of happiness must still be won. Oft the careless find It to their cost. There are people, and supposedly people of good sense at that, who be lieve that love is a plant, which is in destructible; that you can slight it or nurture it, fondle or abuse it, but noth ing can alter or kill it. There never was a greater mistake. Love is only strong as it is fed and coddled. It can be made to grow’ wings or it can be hoofed or horned, accord ing to the atmosphere in which it lives. There never was a daintier plant than love. It Is like the down on the harebell. One rude jar may scatter it to the four winds of the earth. Love depends upon kindness, sympathy and appreciation. It is im possible for the wife to keep on lov ing the husband who is rude in w’ords, brutal in action, tantalizing, stingy. Disgust for the husband who makes a household drudge and slave of her can in time kill the most devoted love in the heart of a wife. Nor can a husband’R love, no mat ter how strong it may be, endure the constant nagging of a wife or her fretting and fuming, without his af fection for her withering soon or late. With a rightly-mated pair, true love for each other would endure for all time. With other couples it would be like the poppy—bloom today and with er tomorrow. Affection lasts only as long as the two are deeply interested in each oth er. When either begins to weary of the society of the other, it is the fore runner of love’s decay. How long it will last after this sets in is a matter of endurance. Very often a loving word from the lips of either would turn the tide. It is unfortunate that those who have loved truly are often too proud to make the first overtures. It is not beneath a wife’s dignity to make the first advances. She should not forget how T sweet und gentle she was to him in the days of their court ship. Even a man who is indifferent to a wife cannot help having a kind lier regard for her if, after a morn ing’s row, he returns home, expecting to renew the wordy battle and in stead is met by her with outstretched hands, a smile on her lips and the murmured words: “I am going to for get that we have had an unpleasant ness, dear. Let’s begin our lovin. all over again.” A man would have to have a heart of adamant to refuse such a plea. The outstretched hands of husband and wife coul easily bridge over the chasm so wide and so deep that no human power can span it from one heart to the other. Love lasts only as long as hearts are kind, true and af fectionate. Lovers should make the compact ere stepping to the altar that, after wedlock, the sun should never set on them, finding them in an ger with each other. As the years pass, they will cling closer to each other. It rests solely with each couple who plight their troth how long their love will last. Peter Stuyvesant’s Tree.

THE NEW ROOSTER “The old White Rooster Is dead,” said Black Hen, putting her head through the bars of the pigpen. “You don’t say so,” replied Madam Pig. “Did he die a natural death?" she Inquired. “No,” said Black Hen, “he was too old and tough to eat. This morning when the hens opened their eyes he was on the floor of the henhouse with his toes in the air.” “Where will they bury him?” asked Madam Pig. “I do not know,” replied the Black Hen, as she ran to a group of hens she saw not far away. “The master took him away,” said one, “and now I wonder who will take his place.” “He was here a long time and he crowed beautifully,” said Speckled Hen. “It will be hard to find his equal.” That afternoon the farmer came into the yard and from under his arm flew a rooster. He w r as black, with red and yelldw mixed In his feathers, and he was young. As the hens gazed at him he seemed to feel the import ance of his position, and he strutted through the yard without turning his head. When he reached the pigpen he flew to the top of the fence and, spreading out his wings, turned around that the sun might fall upon his gorgeous colors. “Isn’t he handsome?” said Black Hen. * “He .isn’t so large as White Rooster,” said Speckled Hen. Then the rooster crowed three times. Madam Pig looked up at him. “He crows well,’’ she remarked to her mate, “but I am afraid he is-too young.” The rooster spread his wings again and flew’ to the ground. “Too young, am I?” he said. "Well, I will show them that I am old enough to run this yard. What they need r — a V* mill fill I “You Don’t Say So,” Replied Madam Pig. he.e is someone to make them stand around. Old White Rooster let them rule him,” and he pecked at a hen that was in his path. “Isn’t he disagreeable?” said Speck led Hen. “Did you see him push Yellow Hen?” “Yes,” said Black Hen, “but every body is picking at him 3ust because he is a newcomer. "The new rooster cannot crow as loudly as White Rooster,” said Speckled Hen the next morning. “Did you notice the sun this morning? He did not show his face for a long time after the new rooster crowed.” “Well, for one thing, he is just splendid,” said Black Hen; “he makes everybody stand around; and I do not blame him. I think the old hens are very rude to him.” Just then there was a great cluck ing and confusion among the hens and a hawk was seen just over them, but as it came near a brood of chick ens the new' rooster quick as a flash flew at him. Whether the suddenness of the at tack surprised the hawk so much that he forgot to sw’oop a chicken in his flfght, or whether he was really fright ened, no one knew’, but the new roost er was a hero in a minute. He walked away as though nothing had hap pened and went into the barn, the frightened hens running after him, but he did not look at one of them. “Somebody must tell him,” said Black Hen, “we never had such a pro tector before. He should be told that we think he is brave.” So Speckled Hen stepped up to the new rooster. "W T e wish to thank you,” she said, “for saving the chickens, and we are glad to have among us a rooster who is so brave.” The new’ rooster stretched his neck and held his head very high, “I thank you,” he said, “one and all, but I only did my duty. A rooster should be a protector of his flock as well as cock of the walk,” and he turned and walked away. “It’ll keep them in their place,” he said. “It will never do to be friendly with those you wish to rule.” And the hens and the chickens gazed after him with ad miration. They understood that he Intended to be the ruler of the yard. A Telephone Quirk.

If you are talking.over a desk instrument, it is often easier to hold it against the chest than to the mouth, Simply hold the transmitter to your chest and talk into the open air. The entire chest wall vibrates in unison with the voice and will transmit the sound vi brations over the telephone as well as your voice.—The American Boy.

REWARD OF DISHONESTY “Once upon a time," began the teacher, “two little broth ers started to Sunday school one Sunday- morning. Their way led past a fine orchard where the trees were bending down with ripe, luscious apples. One of the brothers proposed going Into the orchard and get ting some fruit, but the other refused and sped away, leaving his companion greedily devour ing the apples. “Now, it ha'ppened that the owner of the orchard saw them, and the next day rewarded the good boy who refused to steal his apples by giving him a shil ling. He got a prize for his hon esty, and what do you suppose the other boy gSt for his dis honesty?” “He got the apples,” yelled every member of the class. — Anaconda Standard. NEW SPORT FOR SMALL BOYS Recently Devised Type of Vehicle Known as “Unicycle" Affords Much Amusement for Youths. $ What promises to be a most popu lar sport for boys Is offered by a re cently deviated type of vehicle known as the “unieycle.” In reality, this ve hicle consists of a large hoop on which is monted a framework carry ing the seat and provided with two smaller wheels, says World’s Advance. The hoop Is made of one-half-inch gas pipe welded into a ring, while the framework is of durable wood. The unicycle affords much fun to the boys and is a sport that is en tirely unique and incomparable to ex isting ones. Its main use is for coast ing, in which it is possible to attain New Sport for Boys. high speeds. The rider rests on the seat and keeps his feet off the ground. The small wheels are also raised off the ground so that the rider is actu ally being carried by the hoop alone. The device is so light that it can be immediately controlled by placing the feet on the ground, either to steer it or slacken the speed, as well as to bring it to a stop. The unicycle is made in three sizes, the smallest having a 48-inch hoop, the next a 54-inch hoop, and the larg est- a 60-inch hoop. The respective weights of these various-sized ma chines are 22, 23 and 25 pounds. There is nothing fragile in the construction of the unicycle, and anyone weighing even in excess of 150 pounds can safely ride on hny of the models. MORAL TONIC FOR THE BOYS Scientist MacDonald Praises Baseball Game—Directs Surplus Energy Into Right Channel. Arthur MacDonald, a well-known scientist of Washington, said the other day: “I consider baseball one of the great est moral tonics for boys and young men that- exists. It directs the sur plus physical energy of youth Into the right channel, for otherwise this energy might be employed in wrong ways which are detrimental to moral and physical life. Baseball is one of those fundamental educational forces of prevention whose power and utility are not realized until it is taken away. “Our national and manly game has so permeated the mind and nervous system of the boys and young men that there are very few who could not pass a better examination on baseball than on any of the studies in school.” This being perfectly true there is no chance for the game to die out, no matter how much It may be abused by grasping and thoughtless magnates and players. There are some people who see a permanent lessening of in terest in the national sport on account of the activities of the Federal league, which has caused some lack of confi dence in the professional end of the game. But there are plenty of signs that this disgust is only temporary. Crowds are thronging back to the parks as it becomes evident that major league ball Is being conducted strict ly on the level and for the interest of the spectators.

One always expects to see flowers grow on hats and on dresses during the summer days-, but it is a little sur prising to see them spring up on mi lady’s underwear. However, they ap pear to very good advantage, and on such material as chiffon, taffeta, net and organdie. The little combination suits, consisting of either corset cover and bloomers or corset cover and short skirts, are most charming. Dainty chemises are also offered in flowered organdie. As the flowered material is so ornamental in itself, it requires very little trimming. A row of beading at the neck line or around the waist is all that is necessary. To preserve the quaintness of the mate rial, black velvet ribbon is run through the beading in preference to pink, blue and white ribbons. The flowered materials are also used for nightgowns, negligees and petticoats. The latter are usually made of the flowered taffeta, which, in lta stiffness, is just the thing to be worn beneath the full skirts.

The silk need not necessarily match the tint of the flowers; for instance, a lavender flowered organdie is mount ed over pale pink pussy willow silk; a rose-flowered organdie is mounted over faint lilac, and so on. Black velvet ribbon sashes are much fancied with these pretty costumes, and the sharp note of black seems to make the soft colors of the organdie all the softer and more dainty. ' About White Hair.

Dawn comes softly and pleasantly over the country fields, and if it loses something of its charm through fa miliarity, it is most friendly and per haps most appreciated there. In the hills the dawn comes gayly, stopping behind each peak to make itself more beautiful, scattering color everywhere and playing with its own reflection in the deep waters of the lakes. In the city streets the dawn comes swiftly and bravely—perhaps because the night is ugly there and so deter mined to stay. Dawm in the city streets Is not so pleasant as dawn in the coun try fields, and it is not so young as dawn in the hills. It is finer and stronger. It is awesome, but it is reas suring, too. Perhaps it is only the uninitiated who feel the terror and the fascination of the city streets at night. Perhaps the initiated know that the fascina tion is not true and the terror not real. Perhaps they are more fascinated and more afraid than anybody. The unini tiated do not understand. They w onder w’hy there are so many people in the streets; why that old man stands alone on the corner; w’here that woman and the two chil dren are going; where all the automo biles come from; why, with so many people and machines in the street, is it all so strangely silent? It Is the hour before dawn, and everywhere the earth lies quiet. The night street is silent as though ashamed before the day. The young men loafing on the corner hush their profane quarrels, and the two women on the curb speak in whispers. The uninitiated wonder about those wom en—one, slight ahd dark and well dressed, sitting on a pile of newspa pers; the other large and blonde, with bare head and coat thrown about her shoulders, sitting on the curb below. It is no longer dark. Neither is it light. The night still hides between the high, empty buildings. A pigeon croons wistfully above the street, its voice rising to a fuller note as it feels the breath of the dawn. Strangely enough other bird voices break the si lence. The weary men and women on the sidewalks are stirred by the same songs of welcome that are sung in the fields and the hills. The birds are al ways ready for the dawn. And it comes swiftly and bravely into the city streets. The first rays reach the tallest buildings and the night scurries up the alleys and down into basements. The owl car blinks its one eye sleepily and rattles away. It is not a beautiful dawn. The faint flush on the patches of the sky is all that is left of the color it threw’ away in the hills. It looks upon too many ugly things to be gay. Perhaps it brings too much work and worry with it to be pleasant. Never theless it makes the birds sing and it brings another day.—lndianapolis News.

The novel falls into one of four classes, as it deals with romance, with life, with ideals, or as, lastly, it takes the shape of a work of art pure and simple.

The divisions, of course, overlap. Sleep on a Hot Night. “How to secure a good night’s sleep In hot weather is often a most trying problem, especially to the sick.
