Even Wisdom Has Its Price.

“Tell me,” said the youth who had come many miles to seek an interview with the Sbelbyville Sage, “how I may acquire real wisdom.” “By coming across with $2 for a copy of my book,” said the venerable man, “not necessarily as a guarantee of good faith, but as a tribute to my business instinct. lam not running this sage business for the benefit of my health. See?”

Guess.

A little girl who made frequent use of the word “guess” was corrected for it and told to say "presume” instead. A lady friend, noticing the admirable set of the little girl’s apron, asked something in regard to the pattern. “Mamma doesn’t cut my dresses and my aprons by pattern," said the small lady “She just looks at me and presumes.”

“He doesn’t like my cooking,” sobbed the three months’ bride, a tear on her long lashes. “I Just know he doesn’t. So, there!” “What makes you think so?” her mother asked. “Has he said he doesn’t like your cooking?” “N-no-o,” stammered the bride. “Nonsense, child, it’s Just your imagination. I felt there was no basis —” “There is a basis,” the bride insisted tearfully. “I had been cooking the loveliest things for him for about two weeks and then he told me he had decided to become a raw-food faddist. 80-hoo-o-oo! ’’—Judge.

Chopin’s Birthplace Destroyed.

The birthplace of Chopin, the Polish composer, has been completely destroyed by the fleeing Russians. The country estate at Zelazowa-Wola near Warsaw, where the immortal genius was born, was burned and of the monument of the composer in the park of the castle nothing is left but a pile of broken stones.

LATEST SAFETY DEVICE

FOR THE PROTECTION OF ENGINEER AND FIREMAN. I Automatic Mechanism Is the Result of Careful Study—Makes Greater Possibility of Escape in Case of Train Wreck.

“The engineman and fireman stuck to their posts,” or “the engineman and fireman Jumped.” The account of virtually every railroad wreck contains either one or the other of these statements. The mental struggles, all the more acute for their brevity, which lie behind those statements are overshadowed by the magnitude of what follows. Yet to the engineman and fireman they often are the beginning or the end of all things. What man dare say that when confronted with the necessity of making a decision of life and death upon a second’s noticq he will face death for his responsibilities or that he will throw duty to the winds and think only of saving himself? The chances are that training and instinct, as well as sense of duty will keep the engine crew at its post, yet many a driver of the “iron horse” has gone to his death by following his instinct, when conditions were such that sticking to his post could not have prevented the accident and when he had a chance to Jump and save his life. > Comparatively few engineers ever are called upon to make such snap decisions, but as sure as the sun rises and sets a certain number of them are forced to every year, and no man can say that he will not be next when he takes his engine from the roundhouse. It is a useless sacrifice of two additional lives for the crew to stick to the cab when the accident cannot be avoided. It is likewise a dereliction of duty for the two men to Jump when, by sticking to their posts they may avoid, or lessen, the seriousness of the accident. The problem is worth solving. And it has been solved by William A. Uttz, a Ft. Worth* inventor. The principle involved is that of an automatic bit of mechanism which relieves the engineman and fireman of the responsibility of making the decision. In the event of impending disaster the Bimple pulling of a lever does everything that the men could do by sticking to their posts, and at the same time automatically and instantaneously without necessitating any further action, even the moving of a muscle, on their part, provides them with a better and safer method of escape than that of Jumping. Danger appears ahead. Each or either man, pulls his lever, and the mechanism closes the throttle, applies the brakes and sand, extinguishes the fire, then reverses the engine. Simultaneously the engineman’s and fireman’s seats drop below the level of the cab floor, into heavy steel cylinders, heavy lids drop oVer them and lock, the two men. neatly “canned” in padded receptacles, are thrown wide of the tracks to either side of the speeding engine. It makes no difference whether the drums in which the men are tightly inclosed fall into the water, or whether an engine or a car falls on top of them. In the first case the drums float. In the second they withstand the weight or are pushed aside. The airbrake drum on a locomotive; experience has shown, is never crushed in a wreck, and the “man drums” are seven times stronger than the air tanks. Mr. Uttz is a practical railroad man, and the value of his invention is apparent when it is .known that it is not a mere theory, an invention on paper but that it has been tried out repeatedly with human occupants under as severe conditions as could be arranged, sad each time with perfect success.

SAFE FROM DANGER

WITNESS HAD AN ANSWER

And Lawyer Learned Lesson Which He Insists He Will Always Keep in Memory. A railroad lawyer, who has much to do with human nature, says: “Never cross-question an Irishman from the old sod.” And he gave an illustration from his own experience: A section hand had been killed by an express train and his widow was suing for damages. The main witness swore positively that the locomotive whistle had not been sounded until after the whole train had passed over his departed friend. “See here, McGinnis,” said I, “you admit that the whistle blew?” “Yis, sor, it blew, sor.” “Now, if that whistle sounded in time to give Michael warning, the fact would be in favor of the company, wouldn’t it?’ “Yis, sor, and Mike would be testifying here this day.” The Jury giggled. “Very well. Now, what earthly purpose could there be for the engineer to blow his whistle after Mike had been struck?” “I preshume thot the whistle wor for the next man on the track, sor.” I quit, and the widow got all She asked.

DESCRIBES LIFE IN TRENCHES

Englishman’s Graphic Picture of the “Joys" That Are a Part of Soldier’s Existence.

Albert Robbins of Kearney, N, J„ received a letter from his brother, Harry Robbins of Evan, Worcestershire, England, who is fighting In the trenches, exactly where Albert does not know. Harry has got a “hit on the forehead with a piece of shrapnel,’’ but is “carrying on." Here is his picture of life near the firing line: “We get it pretty stiff out here now and again, especially when there is a bbmbardment on and hundreds of shells of all sorts and sizes whizzing and whistling round like rain, and when one has a lovely dinner of Chicago canned meat and biscuits as hard as bricks, and a drop of water with a good percentage of Condy’s fluid in to kill the germs, put before you In a huge rabbit hole dug In the ground, called a dug-out, where you have to keep your bead down and look out for trench mortars coming over.”

WHAT IS URIC ACID? THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM, LUMBAGO

Ever since the discovery of uric acid in the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and the bad effect it had upon the body, scientists and physicians have striven to rid the tissues and the- blood of this poison. Because of its overabundance in the system it causes backache, pains here and there, rheumatism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who discovered a new agent, called “Anuric,” which will throw out and completely eradicate this uric acid from the system. “Anuric” is 87 times more potent than lithia, and consequently you need no longer fear muscular or articular rheumatism or gout, or many
