—■■■—a———. IM— ■ WORKIN’ FASTAH:— It may be an old story, but it is worth retelling because it points a moral. A colored man bought a watch on Hie installment plan. One day he came in and paid a dollar, took his receipt and walked out. Two hours later he came in and paid another dollar. "Well,’' said the jovial jeweler, ■'business must be getting better.” "No. suit; business ain't no i'ettah. I'se jes’ workin’ fastah." There is a world of homely philosophy concealed in that colored lion's reply: "Jes’ workin' fastah." He was exhibiting the spirit that conquers the wilderness, builds commonwealths and founds busy cities. Just working faster and making up. Working faster will make up for slowing business. Working fast.?’, will make good business better. Working faster is infinitely better than slowing up and whiuning about business conditions. The whiner is going broke while the man who works faster is building for lietter things. Mor>--''.ind faster workers. More •h’hfest sweat. More love for the job. More interest in the work. . Tlie solution of our economic ills is not far to seek. Omaha News-Bee. This is the pre-Easter lime ami every church is making a special es fort to interest you in those things in which you should be most anxious to know about. Are you living as Gad would have you live?

We do not feel the tight to preach, we are not even qualified to discuss theology or religion with you, but this we do know—that more I ban two thousand years ago, a man named Jesus Christ preached the gospel of religion which has ,tood the storm of attacks through all the decades since and has lived and Ci it only those nations which have followed his teachings have prospered. 1 You can profit much by attending church services during the De.i two week:;.

n Foes Ma</« Thorough Job of Forgiveness “ The poet Browning, Prof. William LyM Phelps tell* u* In Scribner'* Mage line, was a* Impulsive h» Hoosevglt. Re could nev*r speak of III* wife with ealmnea* To illustrate his feeling about her, say* Professor Phelps. Lady Ritchie, the daughter of Tliacki rray, told in* thia story. ; There waa a rumor that Browning • wag going to marry again, and In Ills j absence ahe mentioned it. The next • day Browning heard of it In away i that nmde lilin suppose she had originated the fable. That night they, met 1 at a large dinner, and be waa aaalgned 1 to take her out to the diningroom. ; She greeted him la their cuatoinary friendly manner, took bl* arm and than to her amaaement found that he would not apeak to her, but almost spiked her with hie elbow every time . ahe turned toward him. At dinner he devoted himself exclusively to the lady on bl* left, and If Anne Thackeray spoke to him he made no reply. When the ladles withdrew ahe asked one of them whether Robert Frowning had gone mad. “Why, don't you know!" was the reply. "He heard that you started a atory .es a second marriage, and he will never forgive you.” That state of affairs continued for mouths. They constantly met at dinner parties, but he Ignored her. In th* following summer she, Browning and bls moat intimate friend, the Frenchman Milsand, were staying in the same town In Normandy. On* day ' Milsand turned on Browning and told him that he waa behaving outrageously, that Anne Thackeray had never meant any harm, had merely repeated what she had heard and waa now heartbroken. Browning was smitten with contrition; be Immediately started running at full speed to the opposite end of the town where Mis* Thackeray lodged. He must have been a curious spectacle, for he was short sad heavy and not used to running. “I waa sitting in the window of the second story in a despondent mood.” Lady Ritchie told me, “when I saw Browning running violently toward iny lodging. I rushed downstairs and leaped Into bls arms: we both eried together and had a lovely time.” Some Famous Tunnels The following information about tunnels is from a paper by Lester S. Grant, dean of the Colorado School of Mines, read before the Teknik club of Denver: "In 1330 Agricola, a German mineralogist, recorded that the gold and silver mines of ftchemnltz, , Hungary, had then been worked for ' SOO years; the lead mines of Goslar, Germany, for fioo years, and the sll- ■ ver mines of Freiberg, Saxony, for 400 years. Subsequent working of these mines necessitated the driving of drainage tunnels of lengths as vet unequaled in the history of mining. The Tlefe Georg tunnel, in Saxony, driven between 1777 and 1700. is 34, 529 feet long, with branches amount ing to 25.319 feet more. This was driven entirely by hand to obtain a drainage depth of only 400 feet. The Joseph H. tunnel at Schemnlta was started In 1782 but not completed" until 1878. It is ten and one half miles ' long. The Rothschonherger tunnel at ! Freiberg, driven between 1844 and 1877, totals over 93.149 feet, the main tunnel being 42.662 feet. These tunnels were all driven by hand, using black powder." Mr. Petter Observes "Many a man," began old Festus Pester, "has gained a reputation for vast sagacity simply by keeping lila mouth shut and putting on the pom- i posity of a white elephant, when, if we only knew it, there la nothing of any particular consequence underneath hia imposing exterior. A peacock is a most puailianimoua-lookiag fowl when deprived es hl* feathers, and many a man who looks like a crown prince would appear even more paltry than n stripped peacock if bis dignity was peeled off from him. An owl looks like the concentration and quintessence of sageness, but that is *ll there is to hhn—he just looks it. And many a , man's promposity has caused Mm to he suspected of being somebody in par- ; tlcular, when in reality he is only a common congressman.”—Kansas City Star. Vait Electrical Industry To few men as it has been to Edi- ' son, who celebrated hts aeventy elghth birthday secently, has It been granted te see th* industry in which they began as pioneers, develop Into one of the greatest of all times.

I Hands Not the Least 1 of Feminine Charms ' Recently I naked twelve differs> ' 1 men what was th* first thing that ’ they noticed whan they were intro- * duced tea woman. AU were In different walk* in life. ' nnd I asked them *ll at different ‘ times, Mary Manner* write* In Vanity Fair. 1 One man said, "Her ankle*," an- * other "Her eye*," a third "Her 1 clothes,'• hut. to my amassment, the ’ other man answered, “Her bands." 1 never before realised how Inv ' port ant th* hands of a woman are In the eye* of a man, ao I asked for ' explanation*. "I fell In love with my wife’* hands 1 almost bafoua I had seen her thee," ' one of the twelve confessed to me. “She waa playing the piano, and ' the way her little finger* rippled over I the key* held me spellbound I felt , that a woman with bands like that , could do anything, and I was right!" "A woman's hand* are ao expressive of her personality,’* a naval officer Mid. "I Instinctively distrust a woman with a fat, pudgy hand. She Is usually lazy and empty-brained. “As f«r th* young woman with the ( •lily-white’ hands, preserve me from her! She 1* too halplea* for words 'ns a rule. All that she 1* good for lifting chocolates out of * box and | twiddling her rings.” | "Give me,” said another man, "a pair of hands that look as though 1 they can sew, cook, hold a tennis racket and golf club, play the piano, .lift a baby, drive a car, put flowers In a vase, hold a pen—and, heat of all. bands which look soft enough to caress an a< hlug head and graceful • enough to kiss!" “Graceful Enough to kiss 1" That ; last sentence stuck in my mind. So many women forget that while they deplore the death of chivalry they themselves have pulled down tlie pedestal on which they once stood. Beautifully kept hands are a sign of Inward refinement. We cannot all have our hands cast in a classic mold, we are not all blessed with "long, tapering, artistic fingers," but we can help nature by making the hands with which she has endowed us beautiful, expressive, and indicative ,of our character. Pork Chops "Sir Ellis Barker, the famous Lon don surgeon, warns us to leave preserved food* alone. He says preserved foods lack vltaminas.” | The speaker was Earl Akers, mayor ,of Topeka. He resumed: "After that pronouncement, whenever I hear preserved foods being praised I think of old Si Hoskins, the i miser. “A friend dropped in on Si as he was frying a brace of pork chops, j “ ‘Fine chops, them,’ said the friend, smiling hungrily. i “ ‘Fine chops?’ grunted old Si. a* be turned them, all sizzling and smok ing, in the frying pan. ‘Well, I guess they is fine chops. None o’ yer murdered stuff, nuther. That hog died a natural death.'" Jctzx Novels George Luks, the noted New York painter, looked up with a sigh from a new novel of the jazz or Greenwich Village school. Then he read, now from this page, now from that: “ ‘Don’t I know it?’ snapped mother, j “‘Ah, what’s eatin’ ye?* snapped George. “’I don't car* a darn,’ snapped j Mabel. “ ‘None es your lip,’ snapped father. ; •' ‘How do I know ?' snapped mother." Mr. Luks closed the novel and laughed in his hearty way. "How'a that," hs aaid, “for »nappy dialogue?” Leprosy Cure Reported The leprosy case of Miss Florence Wheeler ha* attracted some considerable attention at Manila because after treatment with the new Philippine cure she has remained "negative” for two ' years, during which ahe was on pro- , bation. If no other signs develop in ; the near future she will probably be rei leased from the San Lazaro leprosy hospital. She la fifteen years old and the grandniece of Gen. Joe Wheeler, famous cavalry leader of the Confederacy. The Cullon leprosy colony has In recent years released two rase*, when a cure waa pronounced definite. Then Ha Remembered A year ago a college student living In Dearborn tore the coat of hia suit 1 and sent it to a Dearborn tat’or for 1 repairs and pressing. Yesterday he | happened to enter the little shop and the tailor not only at once recognized ' him as the person who left the suit there a year back, but told him that all repair* had been completed, and that if he did not come for the auit within a short while he would charge for storage. And it waa then that the student remembered what he bad been trying to remember for a whole year. —Detroit News.
