TEST OF REAL EDUCATION You Have It If You Can Anawer "Yea” • to All of the Following Queatlona. A professor once told his pupils that he should consider them educated In the beßt sense of the word when they could say “Yes" to every one of the questions that he should put to them. Here are the questions: Has education given you sympathy with all good causes and made you espouse them? Hae it made you public-spirited? Has It made you a brother to the weak? Have you learned how to make friends and keep them? Do you know what It Is to be a friend yourself? Can you look an honest man or a pure woman In the eye? Do you Bee anything to love In a little child? Will a lonely dog follow you In the street? Can you bo high-minded and happy In the meaner drudgeries of life? Do you think washing dishes and hoeing turnips just aB compatible with high thinking aB plano-playlng or golf? Are you good for anything, to your self? Can you be happy alone? Can you look out on the world and see any thing except dollars and cents? CHILDREN LVOE SIRUP OF FIGS It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a sick child.

What Becomes of India’s Gold. A royal commission has been ap pointed by Great Britain to discover what India docs with all the gold it takes away from the rest of the world. In the last ten years India has drawn .more than $65,000,000 of gold, which Is almost one-fourth of the world’s production In that time, from the west ern world, and the great part of it has' .disappeared from the usual channels <of trade and finance. To draw tills Immense amount from the commercial world, and pay for It In goods, is, of .course, an economic drain on India. Yet it does not seem to suffer more !by the process than does the rest of 'the world when, thinking it has gold tor general use, It discovers that the part of its imagined supply which goes to India is lost- as completely as if burled. - After hearing both sides of a story you are In a position to pass It up. The Suitors of Mrs. Merriwid MELISSA RECOGNIZES INSUPERA BLE BARRIER. Mrs. Merrlwld's maternal maiden Aunt Jane wore her real rose coral necklace, a pink waist and a myste rious smile, the latter adornment be ing assumed when Mrs.'Merrlwid ex pressed her admiration of the general effect. “The rate at which you’re improv ing makes my head swim," declared Mrs. Merrlwid. "You’ll be tottering around in a hobble the next thing I know." "Mr. Chubb will be here this after noon, Melissa," observed Aunt Jane in a casual manner, as she shifted her embroidery hoops. Mrß. Merrlwid opened her eyes wide and became alarmingly rigid. “Here —this—afternoon!" she exclaimed. “Why, I told him distinctly that I was going to the matinee. I told you that 1 1 had reasons for staying at home, dearie. Surely you remember. When did he tell you he was coming?" Aunt Jane's face approximated the color of the coral necklace. "He tele phoned about an hour ago,” she re plied. "I didn't want to disturb you about It so k said you would be very glad to see blm. I thought you liked him, Melissa." , “I’m crazy about him." said Mrs. Merrlwid, dryly. “I think he's the sweetest thing that ever brushed three strands of hair across a bald Bpot; still. I'm afraid he'll be disap pointed if he expects to see me this Aunt Jane Wore Her Coral Necklace, a Pink Waist and a Mysterious Smile. afternoon. Me for the Impenetrable recesses of the tangled woods. I'll let you console him for my absence, dearie, and you can blame yourself." Aunt Jane’s eyes lost their usually mild expression and she Jabbed her needle Into her work with some vlcloußness. "Thank you, my dear," she said. "At the same time I don't regard the society of a well-informed and gentlemanly man as an Infliction, however you may feel about It, and I may add, my love, that It seems to me unladylike to make personal remarks. Even if Mr. Chubb were bald—which he Is not —It would be no reflection du him.” “I didn’t say 1t was Bhlny enough to reflect,” said Mrs. Merriwid. "And intellectual men nearly always have a tendency to baldness," pursued Aunt Jane. » "They're generally smooth people— on top," admitted Mrs. Merriwid. "You talk nonsense," snapped Aunt Jane. "If being bald Is a crime It’s strange that they have to keep bar bers In prisons to cut the convicts’ hair. You ought to get a Skye terrier If you're so fond of thlngß that look like door-mats. I suppose that’s what you find so attractive In Mr. Victor.” "I wonder If that is It,” said Mrs. Merriwid. dreamily, "or whether lt's< because Mr. Victor hasn’t dimpled knees? Honest, Auntie, dear, don’t you think dimpled knees on a male person over seven have a tendency to destroy the spirit of romance?” "Melissa,” said Aunt Jane with spirit, “If you talk like that I shall leave the room.” "Please excuse me, dearie,” begged THE CHEYENNE RECORD. BY KENNETT HARRIS Mrs. Merriwid. "I wouldn't say any thing to embarrass you for worlds, In tentionally. But you know, Auntie, that nobody loves a fat man.” "Stout people have their feelings." said Aunt Jane. “Still, I’m afraid that I can never learn to love him,” Mrs. Merriwid persisted. "It lßn’t only that I ache to push him over with my finger to see If he won't roll right side up again; It's not merely the fact that be wears those double thick convex spectacles that give him a somewhat pop-eyed effect of looking Into my strictly private'soul, and I could over look his regul-vr habits and his side whiskers; poor dear Henry Merriwid had both side whiskers and regular habits. What keeps me from hiding my blushing face In his shirt bosom and murmuring a bashful consent Is hls delusion that he has a rather nifty tenor voice.” Aunt Jane looked at her niece queer ly. “There's something else, Isn't there, my dear?” she asked. “I haven't given the matter a great deal of thought," replied Mrs. Merri wid serenely. “There might be. of course.” “It occurs to me, my love, that hls not asking you might be a considera tion," suggested Aunt Jane. In a shaky voice. "You might find the further fact that he has no Idea of asking you something In the nature of an insuper able bar. You see, Melissa, dear. It Is highly probable that you have mis construed the purpose of Mr. Chubb's rather frequent visits here, and that, however attractive you may be to some gentlemen, there are other gen tlemen who —who—wlio-00-oo ” Aunt Jane snatched the little lace handkerchief from her belt, pressed it to her eyes and started for the door, her shoulders shaking with emotion, but before her hand could touch the knob her niece had her In an embrace from which there was no escape. "Auntie!" cried Mrs. Merrlwld. “Look at me! You don’t mean to tell me that—Oh, you dear thing! Auntie, If I had had the faintest Idea In the* world that —You know I didn't mean anything by what I said, and I think he's a darling and as sweet and lov able as he can be. Dearie, please! Here, I’m going to shake you. Tell me. has he actually proposed?” Aunt Jane giggled a little hysteric ally. “He —he has Intimated—that he will this afternoon.” she stammered. “Heaven forgive you, you've broken my heart!" Mrs. Merrlwld laughed delightedly. “You perfidious things! Here I’ve been thinking all along that 1 had a chance, and now—Oh, Auntie, Auntie! Now you can run along and bathe your eyes and pretty up and I'll be out of the house Inside of ten minutes." "You—you're sure you don’t mind, Melissa?” said Aunt Jane, anxiously. Mrs. Merrlwld kissed her fervently and reassuringly and then, taking her by the shoulders, turned her out of the room and apostrophized the elec trolier. "Well, wouldn’t that agitate you?’ she said. (Copyright, 191?. by W. O. Chapman.) Temperance (Conducted by the National Woman'* Christian Temperance Union.) "WHEN MILWAUKEE QOEB DRY." The following facta concerning the liquor Industry In the beer-ridden city of Milwaukee are of interest. They are taken from the chapter on “So cialism and the Liquor Traffic” in a volume by Alfred Raymond Johns. _ Amount of capital Invested in liquor making, $51,000,00; number of men employed, 4,755; value of the product paid out In wages, 6.6 per cent. Amount of capital Invested in all other Industries, $185,358,011; num ber of men employed, 104,461; value of the product paid out In wageß, 34.8 per cent. With more than one-fifth of the total capital invested, the liquor In terests employ fewer than one-twen ty-third the number of men and pay less than one-fifth the per cent In wages. In other words. If the $51,- 000,000 now Invested In liquor-mak ing In Milwaukee were transferred tc some other line of Industry, the city would be employing 25,000 more men and be receiving more than $20,000,- 000 per year In wages. “When Mil waukee goes dry,” says Mr. Johns, "then will the city really prosper. The liquor business,” he declares, “Is a curse to general prosperity.” GOOD REASONS FOR RETIRING. Not the least Interesting part of the liquor Jourlals Is the advertising sec tion. We read in the last Issue of one of these periodicals that “the largest and oldest mall order whisky house In the south, doing a business of one and one-half million dollars per an num, Is for sale, the owner desiring to go Into another line of business.” An advertisement Immediately follow ing simply Btate that “good reasons for selling wholesale and retail liquor business will be Imparted privately by this office.” It speaks well for the foresight and business sagacity of these men that they “desire to go into another line of business." In the grow ing sentiment against the use of alco hol on the part of railroads, industrial corporations. Insurance companies, athletic clubs, charitable associations, and men of science, they see the hand writing on the wall. They realize that the extermination of the liquor traffic Is a foregone conclusion. ALCOHOL AND EFFICIENCY. Temperance work today Is very practical ns compared with the senti mental exhortations of yesterday. In these days, when "efficiency" Is so general a watchword In the world of business and labor, we are finding not so directly that a man Is a knave who drlnkß to excess, or even at all, as that he Ib a fool. A runner who ties a weight about his leg is no greater dunce than the workingman or the merchant who puts a dram of liquor Into his digestion or his brain. It Is capable of proof by figures and di agrams that the drlnkfer of even an occasional glass of wine or beer or whisky Injures the work of both his handß and his mind, while the habitual drinker sows up his mental and man ual machinery permanently. This is the gospel of the new temperance movement.—New Vienna Reporter. JOB HUNTER'S ASSET. I Total abstinence principles are get I ting to be a more valuable asset for the candidate for a “man's Job” than a college diploma. Even In dealing with steel and wood, the drinking man Is without standing. “So essential are steady hands and bright wits In our trade," says a constructor of elevators "that under the rules of our union no drinking man can stay In the organ lzatlon. The first time a member of the union goes on a Job under the In fluence of liquor he Is suspended foi a month and fined. For the second of fense he Is summarily expelled, with out hope of re-lnstatement. It's pretty drastic treatment, but we have found It the wisest way to deal with the mat ter." The practice of none of the present day virtues brings more di rect and certain rewards than does that of total abstinence. NEVER HAD A SALOON. “Never had a saloon" was among the list of reasons given on a wayside billboard why prospective citizens should come and take up their resi dence In a Wisconsin town. How’s that for anti-saloon testimony? If sa loons help business would the com mercial club permit that sign to stand? —Northwestern Christian Ad vocate. TAXPAYER’B BURDEN. The liquor traffic Is a curse to the nation and the bitterest enemy of the workingman. It saps his strength, shortens Ills life, causes him to waste tils time and squander his wages; It employs the fewest men and pays back the smallest per cent. In wages; It loads the country with criminals end paupers, and Increases the taxes thereby—Alfred Raymond Johns. Had Him Cornered. A newly elected officer In one of the prominent New York publishing houses is having the following story told at his expense. Shortly after the announcement of his election he met half a dozen of his colleagues at The Players one noon, and they all lat down together for luncheon. Con gratulations were extended, and he accepted them gracefully, as was be soming In one of hie position. Lun cheon was ordered. "And do you sign checks, too?” inquired one of the number. "Oh, yes.” came the ready answer. Whereupon six luncheon shocks were thrust upon him a chorus of "Then sign these.” He signed them. ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST Pierson, N. Dakota. —“The eczema ■tarted on my scalp.'' It finally went in to the back of my neck, then on to my back, arms and chest. It broke out In pimples first and then seemed to run together In some places, mak ing a sore about the .size of a dime, at times the Itching and burning were bo intense that it seemed unbearable. The more I scratched it the worse it became, and there would be a slight discharge from It, especially on my scalp, so as to make my hair matted and sticky close to the scalp. The hair was dry, lifeless and thin. My hair was falling bo terribly that I had begun to despair of ever finding re lief. My clothing irritated the erup tion on my back. The affected parta were almost a solid scab. “I had been bothered with eczema for about a year and a half. Then I began using the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I used them daily for two months and I was cured." (Signed) Miss Mildred Dennis, Apr. 30, 1913. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Bold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p. Skin Book. Address post card "Cuticura, Dept- L, Boston.”—AdT. Our Latin American Trade. Exports from the United States to Latln-American countries have In creased from $108,000,000 In 1900 to $321,000,000 in 1913, a gain of 197 per cent. Imports from them increased 171 per cent, in the same period. Ex ports to other parts of the world in creased 67 per cent. The department of commerce in a statement says: “The most rapid gains in the exports during this period occurred in the trade with Argentina and Brazil. The value of merchandise exported to Argentina in 1900 was $11,500,000, and In 1913 over $52,750,000; to Brazil, in 1900, $1,500,000, and in 1913, $42,666.- 000. Cuba showed a marked gain."
