Even After Death John Ziska Inspired His Adherents. John Ziska. who made war on be half of the persecuted Hussites .against the Emperor Sigismuud. was only once defeated, and forced his sovereign in the end to treat with him on terms of equality. Ziska lost one eye very early in his career, and the other at the storming of Prague. Nevertheless, though to tally blind, he continued to lead his adherents from victory to victory. He died eventually of the plague while besieging the castle of Craslau. But even then his usefulness was not at an end, for his skin was tanned and made into a drum-head, in ac cordance with his last wishes, and its martial music served to inspire the Hussites with an ardor that eventually overcame all obstacles. Take a Freeh Start. As the horses trot down to the wire in a long, straggling line a race offi cial bangs a bell and the whole field turns and goes back to try again. A fresh start is necessary. But it is not only on the race track that fresh starts are essential to the achieve ment of results. There are countless instances of business firms taking fresh starts after visitations of mis fortune. Individuals without number daily turn their backs upon discour agements of the past and take a fresh start. The man who fails is he who Is unwilling to do battle over again. An individual suffers everlasting fail ure if. when confronted by obstacles he refuses to gird up his loins an* take a fresh start. Fresh starts an the foes of sluggishness and laziness and the guarantees of a brighter sue cess than could be possible without them. —Baltimore Herald. Preacher Was Misunderstood.

Abner Fever and Ella Sick were mar ried in Boston last week. What an ill mated couple. Governor Folk says he is not an angel, and his acts bear him out in the asser tion. He is in the habit of rushing in where angels would fear to tread. An Oregon lawyer demands that the ‘ 'hounds of government be started after the big fish. *' In a chase of this nature water spaniels would be more effective. Bob Fitzsimmons is going to star in comic opera. The only kind of opera he could star in, you know, if you have seen Mm. Captain Taggart says "If whiskey were taken from the army it would he heaven.'* Some of your brother offi cers might think that would be hell, captain. Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, has broken one of his ribs and makes more fuss over it than he does over breaking several of the Ten Commandments. •*A young man is not susceptible to religious teaching when he sits beside a young woman in church/* says an lowa minister. Why not? One would naturally think that would turn his thoughts toward heaven. A correspondent asks the Kansas City Star if Mary Yellow Calf, now suing for divorce, is a daughter of old Sitting Bull. She is not cattle-logued as such, we believe. A correspondent aslcs for relief from constant buzzing in the cars. Can't you induce her to go back east and I spend the winter with the old folks? "Two lonesome skunks by the roadside stood As an automobile rushed by. Which left an odor that was not good. And a tear stood in one's eye. Oh, why do you weep? said his anxious friend. Why do you sob and qucke? J Because that smell, the other skunk said I Is like mother used to make." So writes a vcrscticulator (word copy righted) in the New York Press. The incident suggests another verse: "Said the other skunk, with a roguish wink, That bunch of malodorants. That pungent gob of conglomerate stink, Makes me feel like thirty scents/* And as louder the stink of the 'mobile stunk They held their disgusted noses. And one skunk said to the other skunk "By gad! we*ro the attar of roses. An exchange asks why when a~milk man commits suicido he always drowns himself. The answer is easy. He does,nt. William Jennings Bryan sayshenever gets tired, but a Chicago paper thinks his audiences are not so fortunate.

A Missouri man died the other day from cancerof the cheek and his friends are greatly distressed, unusually so be cause the cancer was caused by a kick from a pale gray mule in which he had placed a too childlike trust. In each hat he sells a Chicago dealer 1 pastes a copy of the Ten Command ments. This enables the most sinful wearer to truthfully declare that he lives under their teachings. ' Rev. Dr. Huntington says he never saw an angel with whiskers. Where does the reverend gentleman think the good Populists go when they die, may we ask? New York theater managers cannot understand why many of their patrons do not remain in their seats between the acts and hear the orchestra. That is easily explained. Those who go out have better mouths for beer than ears for music. The rural courtship!
