If this| is done the people of the nation will rally to the support of the demo- cratic party and not away from it. In the long run it may mean the increase | of power for the democrats and a cer- tain victory at the polls in 1916. Just at the present moment the nation, realizing the value of national pre- preparedness, is ready to sacrifice anything for this end. WRIST WATCHES FOR MEN. Has it come to this, or are they per- petrating a rude joke on the manhood of America? Did those jewelers who | assembled in national convention in New York really mean it when they decreed that the men of the nation should wear wrist watthes? Or are they only fooling? Woe trust they are not to be taken seriously. Neverthe- less they are making strenuous ef- forts to implant the wrist watch upon the arms of men. One valiant sales- man after the idea was advanced ran out on Broadway and attached one of the dainty little things to the strong right wrist of a traffic policeman, Soon may we expect to see truck-drivers, stevedores, and others doing yeo- manry work going about their daily duties with golden bands around their wrists attached to which -will be the pesky little watches with their busyI little ticks. 1 And when the historians get hold of this valuable bit of information they | will write of it as follows: ‘And it | camg to pass that the men of the year nineteen hundred and fifteen, discard- | ing the lumbersome watches fastened to their waistcoats by still more lum- bersome gold chains of oh! ever so | many links, took to wearing wrist | watches.” Verily, that is the manner | in which historians will jot on the book of time the innovation which is about to take place in the fashions of men. They could easily make an ad- ditional paragraph setting forth a few sarcastic remarks about the men | who took up the idea; but we being on the ground floor will refrain from any such thing. Instead we pay our | respects to the heroes who .go forth with wrist watches shining beneath their cuffs.

(West Virginia Exchange.) Back in the hills of Greenbrier county, where the glcom owl.never goes, they have a little brand of spirits all their own, which, if used in a gas engine, would drive a car up a 1 per cent. grade. The name ““Old Hen” was given to it, because, like an egg, takes about three weeks of ‘‘settin’ " before it hatches, and then it has a kick that makes one want to vote the Repub- lican ticket. It has another like- ness to the praoduct of a hen, an egg, because after setting three weeks it has an odor very much unlike the fra- grant tube rose, but very similar to an egg that was laid by a hen which violated all the laws of eugenies. Since Catlettsburgh is very far away and wet goods are difficult to import, the natives had to invake the old adage of necessity being the law of invention, One of the essentials to liquor is alcohol, another essential to gratify the eye is the calor, and to make it palatable it must have a pleas- ing taste. So the natives concocted this’ mixture: One peck of cornmeal, six pounds of brown sugar, four ounces of cay- enne pepper and ten gallons of rain water. This mixture is put in a washtub and left to the tender mer- | cles of the hot sun. After this “set- tin’ ” for three weeks the manufa turer has what {s called “Old Hen | When asked whether this wae a good | drink the natives say: “I eay it is.” This mixturs looks like liquor, it smells ltke what Sherman said was was, it has a color that never will look like a Corot brown, and as for itz effect those whe have drunk ft sald that “hitting the pipe” is a mild sensation compared with the day after following a night of flirting with *“Old Hen," 1t is said of "O1d Hen' that by us- | ing an eve dropper and dropping four drops into a galion of water and then using this mixture as a hypodermic | Injection, a guinea plg so treated | kicked a buldog in the face. i When the natives were whether it leaves a headache replied: “I say it do.” asked they Loaning the Old Flags, (From the Beston Post,) { For the first time in the natien’s histery Uncle Sam has eonsented fo | temporarily relinguished control »of one of his greatest treasures—the | Washington collection of histeric flags cf the republic: Many attempts have | been made to beirew (he & ¥ and navy fiag collection for exhibition at | patriotic gatherir but it remeained | for the veterans in charge cof the 49th annuai encampme d 50th anni- | versary of the grand review of the | Grand Avmy of the Republic, which { will be n Washington, Septem- | ber 27-October 2,, to be the first to receive this priviledge, !

Conquest of Russia is almost an axi- omatic impossibility. No war machine in any reasonable space of time, how- ever highly organized and equipped | can do more than extend its military | frent and its vulnerable line of com- The German armies of cannot achieve the impossible. But they can do scniething which | the German people would least desire, | if its rulers allowed it to look beyond superfleial successes. They can take an inchoate, reasonless mob of one hundred and seventy million people and bleed them strong. A peasant Who remains sober and saves money | scon learns to dc his own thinking. Suppose the German victories open the eyes of the Russian people to the rottenness at the top. What that rottnness was count- less instances attest. When the Czar- ina and the ladies of the court fitted out a special train with hospital sup- plies for the war against Japan it pro- ceeded no further than Moscow be- fore it was discovered that the con- tents of the packages of supposed sur- gical supplies were waste paper. This is not a characteristic story of the Russian people, but of the bureau- cratic class which autocracy tends to create. Assume a Russian peasant not steeped jn rum, or vodka, or whatever the national water of Lethe may be, taking himself and his Duma seri- ously. Multiply him by many mil- lions. Waste a few of those millions on the battlefield. Give him a sav- ings bank account. ‘What of the ‘““Slav peril”? Is not Germany, by her very success, con- verting it from a convenient palitical pretext into a force so serious, so self-organized, so spiritual, so single- minded as to release the most tre- mencous undeveloped reservoir af en- ergy in Europe? ‘Warmed Over. (Waterbury American.) Many a man sometime in his life comes upon some product of his youthful pen, corresponding or rhyme, religious, amatory or simply foolish, which makes him blush and congratulate himself that it has fal- len under his own eyes before any- one else has seen it. It is rare for a man to be so satisfied with one of those amateur emotional productions that he wants to lay eyes of his fellowmen. Not so the venerable Boston correspondent of the Springfield Républican, Frank B. Sanborn. In a recent letter he des- cribed the reunion of his class at Har- vard on its sixtieth anniversary last June. Then, he said he went over beside the illimitable ocean Where the Piscataqua River pours its waters in- to the sea, where, 63 years before when he had just entered Harvard, he wrote this sonnet at Hampton Beach: Oh, Mournful Sea! vet to our eyes he wore The placid look of some great god at rest; With azure arms he clasped the em- bracing shore, And gently heaved the billows of his breast; We scarce his voice could hear, and then it seemed The happy murmur of a lover true, Who in the trances of his clumber dreamed Of kisses falling on his lips dew. like Far off the blue and gleaming hills above The sun looked through the veil of thinnest haze; So coy Diana, blushing at her love, Half hid with her own light her - earnest gaze, While on the shadowy Latmian slope she found Fairheaded Endymion slumbering on the ground. He must think it is pretty good to reprint it now and it is, as a relic and a memorial. There must be some- thing of the conceit of youth still left in his aged soul to enable him to feel the sensation again. For he actually does or he makes a flne simulation of i{t. This is what he says about it: The gcene this day was the same as that, but alas! how all eclse was changed, The crops in the good farming towns are held back by the cool, dry weather, but the rich green of the foliage and the stateliness of the e willows made a fina impression.

Jane Addams Again. (Meriden Journal.) Jane Addams, who went to Europe in an endeavor to end the war in co- operation with the other women of | the world, has made a lat of fool re- marks about the warring natiors since she returned and the more we hear from her the more we realize that she should spend her time at home with her knitting. Her latest comment about the soldiers of all ar- mies being sent into battle under the influence of drugs compares favorably | With the other things she has said and about as much credence can be given it. This charge about intoxicants will not be believed because we know what has been done to prevent just the influence that she declares was desired. ‘Warfare these days does not re- quire so much the bravery of the dash across an open field, the charge of brave heroes over a bullet swept field, but rather the cool determined cour- age of the man who has all his facul- ties alert. Intoxicants would not make such conditions possible and there- fore there is no faith put in the fool- ish charges. France has banished absinthe; Eng- land has banished liquor of all kinds; Germany has pursued the same pol- icy; Russia has exiled the deadly vod- ka and Italy has followed in the wake of the other nations. The devout Mo- hammedans are proverbially abstem- ious. If Miss Addams cannot reason- ably be censured for giving wide- spread publicity to her charges, they must at least be refused credence in the absence of any trustworthy evidence supporting them. The thought of tens and hundreds of thou- sands of soldiers giving up their lives for a cause they believe to be right is appalling enough. The thought that they are slaughtered while under the influence of drugs or liquors deliber- ately administered in order to make them face the murderous bayonets and bullets of the battlefield staggers belief. Search For Tin In America. In view of the interest in an ade- quate tin supply for the United States and the dlscussion of the smelting of Bolivian ore on the At- lantic seaboard, and possibly on Pu- get Sound, the publication by the United States Geological Survey of a special bulletin on tin mining in Alaska is opportune. It is notewor- thy, too, that specimens of stream tin were collected by Survey geologists in Alaska in 1900, before this metal was known to occur in the Terri- tory. Soon after that time prospect- ing for stream tin became active and two years later a commercial produc- tion of tin ore was made. The Survey was also closely identi- fied with the finding of lode deposits of tin. In 1903 two prospectors brought to Survey geologists in Alaska some specimens of float from Lost River which they thought might be tin ore. All the specimens but ore were worthless. From this one the geologists obtained tin by smelting it in a teacup in their cookstove, after which both the geologists and the prospectors went to .Lost River and discovered a vein of lode tin. This lode on Lost River has since been extensively mined. Some of the Alaska tin ore has been reduced at Seattle, Wash., within the last two years. The report just issued presents a re- view of other work by the Geological Survey and the reexamination of the more important tin deposits by Geolo- gist Henry M. Eakin. The total tin production. for the period 1902-1914 amounted to 526 tons of metallic tin, valued at $380,- 000. The Alaskan tin ores have here- tofore been shipped for reduction to Swansea (Wales) and Singapore. A copy of the report (Bulletin 622-B) may be obtained on application to the Director United States Geological Survey, Washinston, D. C. What You Do When Your Wife is Away, In the September American Mug- #zine James Montgomery Flagg, the famous wit and artist, does an amus- ing plece in words and plctures en- titled, “A Marriage Vacation’ Fol- lowing is a brief extract from his ac- count of what a hushand did when | his wife went away: “What does one do? Take an ac- tress out to dinner! That was the ticket! He sat down and thought over the actresses he knew, Both of them. No go! They were both of them mar- ried, and, of course, were dining with their managers. What would O. Hen- ry have done?

She swayed nightly in the chorus, he learned, and was quite Wwilling w0 sup Wwith him after the show. His poetic heart skipped a few unimpor- tant beats as he met Miss Valdarez ot the stage door. This was what s known as ‘the Life!' The gas, how- ever, leaked rapidly out of the bai- loon of romance .as she sat there 'n Rector’s eating hie expensive supper with her pretty mouth open. He soon discovered to his dismay that her brain, her outlook on life, her sensi- bilities and her breeding would have h:._rdl,v entitled her to claim relation- ship with the first colored families of Mombasa. He soon wearied of the only alternative for recreation in her company, Which was ‘kidding’ her and, disgusted and crestfallen, he gladly tucked her into a taxi and bade her farewell.” Cure for Hypochondriacs, (Washington Post.) Were it not for Tapleyian con- clusions of Dr. Hgwarg King, of New Orleans, certain appecals to sympathy for our incarceratcd friends and brothers would be more deep and lasting than they are, if possible. Just as the general public had arrived at the opinion that the poor prisoner, ail the way from the ten-day or $10 var- iety up to the desperate lifer, needed something special done for him, along | ccemes this student of h_\"nn(‘hr)ndi‘i-; asis with the theory that close cnn- finement is a blessing in disguise—th~ best possible antidote, in fact, for t::~ melancholic soul. Dr. King cites as an extreme in stance the life history of John Bun van. John, he finds, was a sad dog in | his youth. When turned from the | downward path to ways less devious the gloomy outlook on life still per- sisted. The proofs are found in the dismal characters portrayed in “Pilgrim’'s Progres as well as in the dire misfortunes that overcame them on every hand—Giant Despair, the Man in the Iron Cage, the Slough of Despond and Doubting Castle being the cheeriest of the individuals and events mentioned. Even the man with the muckrake, made momen- tarily famous by our leading exemplar of strenuosity, would hardly rank as a boon companion, while the misad- ventures of Christian himself have often led the youthfu! readers of Bun- van's classic to question whether goodness really paid. The compensation discovered by Dr. King lies in enforced seclusion. The Bunyan that went into Bedford jail wasn’t the same Bunyan that came out. Twelve vears of rest had not only intervenéd, but had done a power of good. Comparatively speak- ing, the Bunyan of the subsequent period was a jollier as well as a wiser fellow. Apparently this theory contains something of value to the man in the street, if he can only find it. Mark Twain once said: “Be good and vou'll be lonesome.” By a happy con- version of terms it may now also be affirmed: “Be lonesome and you'll be good.” While the theory hasn’t been thoroughly tested, it may be equally applicable to others than the melan- cholically inclined. Even in the case of confirmed hypochondriacs there may be exceptions to the rule. It can hardly be doubted, however, that if all the hippoed and grouchridden were safely stowed away for an in- definite period the rest of the world would be content to wait long and patiently for an ultimate cure. ho For the Girl You Love.

How can you always be sure of win- ning the girl The following rules will be found of inestimable value: Remember that persistence wins. Call upon her every night, and always be near. Never bore her. It is better for her to ask why you haven’t come than why you have. Don't be misled by her apparent timidity. The chances are that is as- sumed. No matter how much she may seemingly resent it, throw your arms around her every time the im- pulse moves you and kiss her, Be bold. Above all things, secure her re- spect. To achieve this, always show her that you are the soul of courtesy. Let her show unmistakably first that your advance will not be resented. Then and only then, must you per- mit yourself to hold her hand, In the long run, this is the best method. Lavish money upon her. If she is a true woman she will voluntarily curb you, Don't get her into the habit of thinking you are Coal Oil Johnny, or afterwards, when you are married, you will discover—but there are some forms of human slavery too pathetic to dwell upon. Always consult her parents. you avold future trouble. Don’t be bulldozed by her father and mother, They weren't when they were young, however much they may now wish others to think so, To secure her best love, remember that you must show her unmistak- ably that you care for her alone. Above all things, don't give her the impression that she is the only girl in all the world, This theory has long been exploded, To keep her interested you must keep her sur- prised, Thus A Bample Prison Graduate, (New York World.) After serving a prison term of sev- en years, half of the time in Bing Bing, for an offense of which he is now believed not to have beoen guilty, Joseph Boko has been released on pa- reie with the promise of a pardon at the end of a year, Boko was convict- ed of tampering with a switch on the New Yeork Central, Not until he.had been behind the bars for five did a presumption of his innocemes arise, and he is released only afier virtually (ke minimum term of his sentence But Soko’s case is less Interesting as an example of the law’'s possible injustice than by reasom of the trans- formation wrought in the prisoner by serving making. No doubt his case is excep- tional, and he may be said to have been reclaimed to society mainly through his efforts. But if one prisoner can thus work out his own salvation, why cannot other prisoners be encouraged and aided to that end by means of a penal discipline adapted to the purpose. That is the true ideal of prison reform. Too Much For Her. (Philadelphia Public Ledger.) Unobserved and unannounced, the president of a church society entered the composing room of a newspaper Just in time to hear these words issue from the mouth of the boss printer: “Billy, go to the devil and tell him to finish that ‘murder’ he began this morning.
