DID NOT NEED INTRODUCTION

First School Teacher Had Met Her Chum’s Friend Somewhat Earlier In the Day. These two teachers were chums. They are still chums. The first one met the second one and was out of humor about something. “Why, the most terrible thing happened today. A regular pill of a teacher visited me. She didn’t even tell me that she enjoyed my work when the visit was overr-just put up her head and sailed out of the room.” The second one essayed comfort and Invited the first one home with her to supper. "Then we’ll go to a show’ and forget all about that visitor,” she said. The first one accompanied her home, and there in the living room was another visitor. The second one greeted the out-of-town cousin and turned to Introduce her to her friend when the friend began with a sickly smile: “Oh. you visited me this afternoon.” — Indianapolis News.

He Said Nothing.

I think) the most embarrassing moment of my life occurred the other evening as I was walking with my boy friend. We walked down the avenue admiring some of the new bungalows. One in particular I noticed and remarked, “My, how homely this one 4a” He said nothing, but walked on. About a week after I found this was going to be their new home. The results were, I haven’t had a date with him since.—Exchange.

Be Reasonable!

It was during her summer vacation on the farm'that Elizabeth longed to be allowed to drive the big team of horses. She was just five, but one afternoon her cousin lifted her in and gave her the reins. She pulled and slapped them on the horses’ back, and, in fear of the team starting too swiftly, cousin Frances advised her to be carefdl and drive with less motion. Again she shook the reins violently. “Slower, Elizabeth, and you’ll be a better driver.” She held tight to her reins, then turned and-said reproachfully, “Cousin Frances, what can you s'pect?,l’m only a child I” ,

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN. RENSSELAER, IND.

WORLD’S GREAT DEBT TO OIL

An Hlumlnant, Riel and Lubricant, It la Indispensable to the Progress of, Mankind. It is 60 years since the first oil well Wts drilled in Pennsylvania, thus inaugurating the era of oil. The discovery was at once recognized as possessing great value, but there could have been but a slight appreciation of the mammoth proportions to which the industry was destined to grow. Hailed as an Hlumlnant supplanting candles and whale oil, the business has widened beyond any possible dreams of those who were active in the early days of oil. The center of the Industry has long since departed from the place of its origin. The southwest and the Pacific coast, almost unknown lands in the Infancy of the business, now produce thousands of barrels to the original oil region’s one. Oil is still used as an Hlumlnant on millions of farms and in isolated places all over the world, but that is no longer the chief product of crude. Gasoline, at first a troublesome by-product, is now the main result sought. The millions of motor-driven vehicles that have come Into existence in the past score of years would not have been possible had we not had this desirable product to provide an explosive to drive them. Vast quantities of the crude product are used to drive locomotives and ships. The war might not have been won had not the allies had acceSs to the fields of Mexico and the United States. And not only as fuel does the greasy product enter into the world’s commerce, but as a lubricant It lessens the friction of bearings, from the sewing machines to steamships. The byproducts even enter the realms of medicine, and while the limit would seem to be reached in utilizing the waste from the refineries, it is possible that further subdivisions may yet increase the number. The story of oil is a romance that equals the tale of steel, yet it is an infant in point of time compared with the.metal that has brought such wealth to Pennsylvania.—Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.

Indomitable Cheerfulness.

That a man can remain cheerful though imprisoned for a crime he did not commit is proved by some of the letters that Mr. O. Henry wrote to his little girl while he was serving his unjust sentence. They are quoted in the Boston Globe. “Hello, Margaret!” says one playful missive. “Don’t you remember me? My name is Aldlberontlphostiphornkopohokus. If you see a star shoot and say my name 17 times before it goes out you will find a diamond ring in the track of the first blue cow’s foot you see go down the road in a snowstorm while the red roses are blooming on the t<*nato vines. Good-by! I’ve got to tike a ride on a grasshopper.” Again he wrote: “I hope your watch runs all right. When you write again be sure to look at It and tell me what time it is, so I won’t have to get up and look at the clock.” And in another note: “Be careful when you are on the street not to feed shucks to strange dogs or pat snakes on the head or shake hands with cats you haven’t been -introduced to or stroke the noses of electric car horses.”

Two Rivals of the “Spud.”

Two new vegetables have been propagated at the Missouri botanical garden at St. Louis, it was announced by Dr. Geofge T. Moore, director of the garden. One has been named the “arracacha” and the other the “dasheen.” Both resemble the potato and are said to be about equal in food value to it Doctor Moore explained the arracacha, when cooked, is a bit darker than the sweet > potato and tastes like the parsnip. It is a rapid grower, he said. Dasheens, looked in cream, taste like cauliflower, and when baked have the flavor of a roasted chestnut. Doctor Moore, amplified. They are related to the Egyptian taro, commonly referred to as the “elephant ear,” Dodtor Moore said. The announcement was made to delegates who attended the convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which ended recently.

Made Good Use of Hairpin.

Dr. Arnold K. Henry of Dublin, who was a surgeon with the British expeditionary forces in France, relates in a letter to the Lancet several instances of using a hairpin when called upon to perform an operation without the proper tools. In one case he horrified the mother superior of a French convent by using a common hairpin, bent as a retractor for an eyelid. In another he extracted with it a foreign body from the ear, which syringing had failed to remove. Once when he had to perform tracheotomy on a baby, with no »lnstrument but a knife, he borrowed a hairpin, bent it, inserted It into the wound In the throat and utilised the projecting ends as attachments for tapes around the neck.

Cost of Style.

Mother—Why do you wear that thin Blouse? Daughter—lt’s stylish. “You must be cold." “I am.” “I should think you’d shiver." “No, it isn’t stylish to shiver!”

“Something Like Cheese."

A small boy came to the Brightwood library and solemnly asked for cottage cheese. The librarian thought a moment and asked if he did not mean the book, “Scottish Chiefs.” “Yes,” he said pleasantly, “I knew it was some-

No Loss.

“What’s the gloom about, Dhuber?” “I was just worrying over lost arts.” “Why worry? There’s a lot of art tround now that ought to be lost”— Kansas City Journal.

WHY NOT TRY THE SAME WAY? Mr. George Stecun sent us the following letter from Leduc, Alta., Canada : “December 27, 1919. We farmers at Relethil and in the neighborhood return you bur most sincere thanks for your excellent remedy. Triner’s American Elixir of Bitter Wine has helped many farmers whose stomach troubles were so serious that it seemed in some cases unavoidable to take them to the hospital for an operation.” ts you suffer from Indigestion, constipation, headaches, nervousness, insomnia or other troubles connected with stomach disturbances, why not follow the experience of the Canadian farmers and take Triner’s American Elixir of Bitter Wine? And at the same place where you will buy this remedy you can also get Triner’s Liniment for rheumatism and neuralgia, Triner’s Cough Sedative, the best remedy for coughs and colds, and other Triner’s preparation?. —Joseph Triner Company, 1333-43 S.

Dissimilar Tastes.

“Professor Diggs Is going to visit the site of ancient Babylon for the sixteenth time.” “That’s the difference between an archeologist and a ‘jazz hound.’ ” “What do you mean?” “The archeologist delights In a dead city, but what the ‘jazz hound’ is looking for Is a live one." —Birmingham Age-Herald.
