Fifteen billion cigarettes wore manufactured in the United States last year. Who smoked them all? Thirty-two million pounds of snuff were manufactured in the United States last year. Who did till the sneezing? Two hundred and twenty million pounds of smoking tobacco were made in the United States last year. Who had all the pipe dreams’ Eight and one-half billion cigars were made in the United States last year. Who made all the smoke? Half a billion packages of chewing gum were manufactured last year in the United States. Who worked their jaws? Twenty thousand moving picture theaters paid $25,090,000 for films last year and 11,000,000 persons saw the moving pictures. Whore did they get all the dimes and niekles? Ten billion copies of newspapers were printed in this country last year. Who took ti e time to read them? One hundred and seventy thousand clergymen preached in two hundred and twenty thousand churches last year, and the congregation of all denominations numbered forty million. Who went to church? It is interesting to know what is going on in this country—the things that people are doing and who are doing them -and why—Joint A. Sleicher in Leslie’s.

Did you tackle that trouble that came your way With a resolute heart and cheerful? Or hide your face from the light of day With a craven sou! and fearful? Oh. a trouble’s a ton. or a trouble’s an ounce. Or a trouble is what you make it, And it isn’t the fact that you’re hurt that counts, But only how did you take it? You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what’s that? Come up with a smiling face! It's nothing against you to fall down tiat, But to lie there —that’s the disgrace. The harder you're thrown, why, the higher you bounce. Be proud of your blackened eye; i It isn’t the fact that you're licked that counts; It’s how did you tight, and why? And though you be done to the death, what then? If you battled the best you could. If you played your part in the world of men, Why, the critic will call it good. Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce, And whether he's slow or spry. i it isn’t the fact that you’re dead that counts, But only how did you die? —Edward Vance Cooke. j The ladies of the German Reformed Aid society and their husband*:,

From My Narrow Little Window By THE HOOSIER OBSERVER WHEN EDITH JOINED THE CLUB

The inconsistency of Woman. Ligh hearted, care-free Edith had jolnml the ■’Don’t Worry Club!” Why. she had never felt the gentlest tap of worryin her young life. “Hut you see. dear," Edith explained. assuming a quaint, matronly, little air. "Mrs. Plngle (the organizer and guardian angel of the new neighborhood club) says that while most young housekeepers as yet have no worries, in time they are bound to come, and it is the purpose of the club to meet them half way, and thus —” And she immediately joined the Homeopathic ranks. For going to my room after a late hour of writing, two eyes, usually closed in slumber, shone like stars from the depths of the pillows. and a voice said: "I wonder what the new club will be like, and whether I shall really like it! Two weeks later 1 alighted from the evening car In a drizzling rain, but only a block from home. Edith met me at the door: “O. you poor soaked dear! Let me take off those wet coats. You will surely get pneumonia. Put on this flannel dressing gown, so —and these woollen stockings, so —Yes, this is right,” musingly, "Just as Mrs. Pingie said. Now, come along, dear.” AH protests unavailing, 1 soon found myself in bed. between two flannel blankets, surrounded by hot bricks and hot water bottles. “What—what?" I gasped. WANTED—Capable man or woman to sell our high grade teas, coffees, spices, extracts, baking powder etc., direct to the consumer. Good propositions to party who can qualify.

"Bring on the pot of ginger tea, Bridget." Edith called downstairs. "Is is boiling hot? I made It just exact ly like the directions Mrs. Pingie gave in her club paper yesterday on Tra< ■ Heal Plans and Preparations for the Prevention of Pneumonia.’ ” Thus I was forced to waste the whole evening in bed. Over in my study lay an unfinished story burn Ing for my pen. The undeveloped < haral ters flitted through my drowsy brain waging imaginary wars with Mrs. Pingles and Perrybingles, to the tune of boiling kettles of ginger tea and crickets on the hearth. But the dream-kettle boiled over: the dream-fire went out. A little moan at my side and sharp breath-catches of pain from Edith awoke me. “She shows symptoms of pneumonia,” said the physician, hurriedly called. “Has she recently experienced exposure?" I shook my head for I knew of none. But Edith moaned between gasps: "1 remember now—last night you were coming home—it rained —uo ginger in house for colds—grocery’s delivery boy dismissed for night--Bridget getting supper—l walked down to the grocery for ginger—then you came— I forgot about myself, and—" "But how far was the grocery?" “Six blocks," she moaned. ’ ? v>Mjt t K-lWyds/ectzk, The great Atlantic & Pacific T-.i Company.
