She may 'be blind, but she has developed a fine sense of touch at least. —Touching the Old Man— Different Feathers ) It is not always well to judge all persons by the company they keep, although this rule usually applies. Look at the lawyers, for instance. —They Have a Nice Crowd— Classified In this great, big wonderful world, there are two classes of men: those who do everything their wives tell them to do, and those who never- marry., And still there are two classes of rich men: those who claim they earned every cent they possess, and those who admit that while they did not earn all they have, they deserve it, nevertheless. —Even Admit It Themselves— g Catch Them First A, subscriber says that she is hay- ing trouble with a lot of red ants ‘on her pantry shelves. We suggest one good: way to get rid of them and that is to wipe them with denatured alchohol every) few weeks. —Not ' the Ants— ' Picturesk The Simpler Way One way' to catch rabbits, which we have never tried but are certalin would work out eatisfactorily if the proper: amount'. of patiencé were uged, is to walt until you find n'bunch‘ of rabbits away from their holes, partaking of their evening repast.| Sneak up to the holes, ‘which at this time will be deserted, and in| each hole place a good:sized rock. | Thén paint the rock so that:it will| look Jike the hole in which it is| contained.

TEX RICKARD IS KING (Continued From Page 1) and was considered a sure loser, but he went through with the bout and made money, cleaning up ‘abcut| $20,000. i The - trouble he had at (Goldfield | was nothing compared with his ex- perience when he made his next big ftep in the game by signing Jim Jefinles and Jack Johnson to decide the heavyweight championship for a purse of $120,000. He had the fight all arranged and an arena partly completed in Cali-| fornia, when' the governor decided that his state wanted nothing of the big' bout and ordered Rickard out.| He had his fight all dressed up and | had no place to go. Rickard dashed across the line into, Reno, Nev., threw an arena together and packed them in. The receipts were close to $300,000. The Wiltard-Moran’ bout in Madi- | son Square Garden was easy, except that he had to guarantee the big)| Kausan a fortune if he would con-/ sent to meet the blonde Pittsburger. He made money on that fight also. Bad breaks came when he was get- ting ready for the Dempsey-Willard fight in Toledo. He tied himself up to | a $127,600 purse but the prospect | was exceedingly rosy when the gov- ernor of the Buckeye: state sance tioned the bout and a big stadium | was ‘completed. However, the government; then in| charge of the opération of:the rail-| roads, refused to give amy speclal| train: serviice)-and the immense sta- | dium was only partially filted. Rick- | ard’ made some money, but not the amount he was entitled to expect. With almost a year spent in get- ting the principals signed, Rickard svner’enced similar trouble with the Dempsey-Carpentier . arrangements: But most of the obstacles came early when he had plenty of time to make other arrangements. Rickard planned first to get the champion and the Frenchman in, the ring at Madison Square Garden for a purse of $500,000, of which $300,- 000 was to ge to Dempsey, and $200,- 000 to Carpeniier.

Due to the fact that the fu is now used up, the councilmen did: not feel as if they wanted to make| themselves liable for the face of the warrants .and. the provosition was| voted down, 6 to 8.

The Brownie had been very small when he had been first met by the boy and the girl adventurers, “To think that! you don’t even know me,” he said. “Qh, dear! Te think that . you don’t recognize me when I'm small — but of course it's natur- al then.” “Did we ever meet you when you were bigger?” asked the girl. “Have you any- thing special te tell us?” asked the boy. “Now you've asked a couple of Interesting questions,” said the Brownile, “and I'll answer them. Don’t look disappointed, for it really is nice of me-to talk to you when you've treated me so shamefully.” “What have we done to you?” asked the boy. “We were in a hurry to go on with our journey,” sald the girl. “That was all.” “You've treated me shamefully, I re- peat it,” said the Brownie. “Not a bit of it” said the boy. “You're really too sensitive.” “No,” said the Bfownie, “I'm not too sensitive. I will tell you my story,| though you do seem to want to get on your way in such a hurry. But you'll never get very far unless you| listen to me. “My name Is Joy. ‘Brownie Joy. My father's name was Merriment and my | mother’'s name was Contentment. Beautiful names, eh?’. “But you're ‘Such a little fellow, Joy,” said the girl. “You made me small, you truly did,” | sald Joy. “You both said you weren't going to pay any attention- to any- thing that wasn’t serious. You said| you. were going to enjoy hard things| you had to do because you knew they would be good for you. “In the first place you won’t get much good out of the hard things you | do If you keep saying to yourselves: | “Now that added two quarts of char-| acter to me or whatever you say| when you speak of adding character. | Quite Full Grown. .

For now you understand.” . “We do indeed,’ said the boy, “and we're mighty grateful to you, Joy, for coming and telling.us your story.” “Well,” said Joy, “I wouldn't miss being friends with two adyeuturers like you for anything.” 4 “Hurral,” shouted the girl, it nice to have Joy say that?” “Isn’t New Dish for Bobbie.

She crumpled a picce of bread on her empty plate and holding it up she beckoned. to the dish of chicken sa ing coaxingly, ‘Here chick, chick, chick! Here chick!

This salt does not injure vegetable fiber and yields colorless. compounds with the-ferric oxide- of the ink. It is ‘best to first apply tallow to the ink spot, then wash in a solution of pyrophosphate until both tallow and ink have disappeared. Another formula is to use a4 mixture of four parts of tartar and two parts of powdered alum. This is not injurious to cloth. Other stains also may be removed with it. The Truth Won the Pass. When Dean . Richmond was at. the head of the New York Central, a boy asked him for a pass to his home town. Richmond could assume a very terrible aspect, and, looking as awful as he could, he roared at the youngster, “Why do you want a pass?” The boy was so terrified that he forgot the speech he had learned for the occa- slon, and blurted out, “Because I don’t want to pay.” Dean Richmond remarked that this was the first time anyone had -ever told the truth in asking for a pass, and he gave the boy his first free ride. - Controlling Dreams. There does not seem to be much doubt among mental specialists that dreams can be controlled to a:certain extent. Don’t have “downy” pillows, which cause too much heat. They should be low, thus relieving the work of the heart. Windows should be left wide open. Let nervous children have a night-light. These are among the hints given by an expert to those who would have pleasant dreams. This “Earth” Largely Water.
