There come times In the lives of most of us when Instant thought and action are required, one false or hesitating move perhaps meaning death. These are supreme tests, and he who keeps his head Is the one who comes out victor. The old and hackneyed phrase for the required quality in these crises is presence of mind. It is akin to the power of rising to an emergency which In Its highest form amounts to genius. This has been the making of great men. James G. Blaine Is said to hare possessed the attribute in a marked degree. He was greatest In a crisis when brought suddenly face to face with an unexpected situation. We cannot all be Blalnes, but presence of mind is just as necessary to the average man as to the unusual one. Here Is a story I clipped the other day. It concerns a Cincinnati boy nine years old. The lad's name Is Gerald Hopkins, and he showed quickness of thought In a striking manner. A wild bull got loose from a stable in the outskirts of the city and created a reign of terror in some of the fashionable suburbs as it dashed bellowing through the streets. The Hopkins lad was caught in the middle of the street There was no time to run away. Before he saw the animal It was bearing down upon him. For. an instant the boy stood still, apparently paralyzed from terror. Then as the bull approached with horns low, the lad took a quick step, jumped clear over the head and played leap frog along the animal's back, from which he slipped and ran into a house before the bull could turn around. By keeping his wits the lad kept his life. The action required courage. Most children would have tried to run and been caught and gored in the attempt. It called for resourcefulness and Inventionthe ability to meet an unusual danger by an unusual method of escape. But more than all, it demanded quickness of thought, will and deed. The lad was all there, bringing his whole mind to instant attention on the problem that confronted him. That is what "presence of mind" means. It is the same mental attribute by which financiers often achieve fortune, orators gain debates and generals win battles. Little Girl Cured of an Awful Cold. "Two years ago our little girl had an awful cold that eettled on her lungs," says Mrs. Wm. Galbraith, Hamburg, N. T. "We were greatly worried about her condition. She had a persistent croupy cough that clung to her despite all our treatment, until I got a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This preparation relieved that dreadful cough and choking and effected a positive cure in the course of a few days' time." For sale by all dealers. Clay's Raady Wit. When Henry Clay was stumping Kentucky for re-election, at one of his mass meetings an old hunter of wide political influence said. "Well, Harry. I've always been for you, but because of that' vote (which he named) I'm goln' ag'in you." "Let me see youtr rifle." said Clay. It was handed to him. Is she a good rifle?" "Yes.""Did she ever miss fire?" "Well, yes. once." "Why didn't you throw her away?" The old hunter thought a moment and then said. "Harry. I'll try you again " And Harry was elected. He Understood. i Professor Popover for an hour bad been patiently explaining to bis young son the theory of evolution. "Now, Jack he asked, "have I made plain to you the great fact of the evolution of species?" "Yes. father. I think so," was the youngster's reply. "Before I was born you were a monkey."

Bris tow's Good Measure.

The senate has concurred in a bill introduced by Senator Bristow of Kansas, providing for the appointment of fourth class postmasters at primary elections.. This is a good measure, but what fate is in store for it in the house of representatives can not be foretold. The only possible objection to the bill is that it does not go far enough. Why not provide for the direct election of first, second and third class postmasters? Such action would be a most effective blow against one of the greatest evils in our government the patronage system. Why is it necessary to give the president and every senator and representative affiliated with the party in power a number of post office appointments for them to distribute among influential party workers for the purpose of building up powerful political machines ? For the sake of good government the number of appointive offices should be reduced as much as possible, in some cases by placing the appointive power directly in the hands of the voters, such as postmasterships, and in other cases by the extension of the civil service. Deprive the president and the members of congress of their political spoils, in the shape of appointive powers, and the result will be highly beneficial to our federal government, for the executive will not be compelled to play petty politics to maintain party harmony, congressmen and senators can devote all their time and energy in the performance of the duties intrusted to their care by their constituents, and, greatest benefit of all, more capable men will be called in to administer offices now filled for the most part by men whose only qualification is that they have rendered faithful service to their party not the people.

There were many excellent men in the government service appointed by President Cleveland, but when McKinley became president, these men, in compliance with the assinine rule of "to the victors belong the spoils," had to step down and out. There are now many valuable Republican officeholders who must walk the plank next month for the same foolhardy and indefensible reason. Most of these competent officials occupied positions which should not be filled by the direct action of the people, but by appointive boards in the various departments to which the offices are attached, and under the rules of the merit system. Dealing with this same subject the Saturday Evening Post of this week contains the following excellent editorial : "The statement that Collector Loeb, of the port of New York, will resign promptly on March fourth is only one among many Instances which remind us that business wants able men, but the Government does not. "We understand Mr. Loeb has made an exceptionally good record as collector of the port of New York. If he had made an exceptionally good record for the Steel Trust or a railroad or bank the employer would naturally be anxious to retain his services. To that end It would make him every reasonable assurance of permanent tenure, higher position and better pay without inquiring to what political party or church he belonged. As an employee of the United States Governmnt he might have made a record that astonished the world, but the employer would have no U3e for him after March fourth no inducement of permanent tenure, higher position and better pay to offer him. "It is the sheerest nonsense to talk about Government efficiency and economy so long as the Government turns every able man in its employ out-of-doors. Efficiency and economy are products of able men, not of any sets of rules. A railroad that had nothing to offer for ability except a little passing glory and a stepping-stone to some other employment would find a quarter of Its revenues wasted just as the Government does."

This is My 28th Birthday ADALAIDE KEIM. Adalaide Keim, one of the best know "stock" actresses in America, was born in New York city, February 15, 1885, and educated at St. Joseph's Academy, making her first appearance on the stage when she was a girl, under the direction of Daniel Frohman at the Lyceum Theater, New York. When Edward N. Sothern revived "Hamlet" at the Garden theatre, New York, Miss Keim was engaged to understudy the role of helia, and succeeded Virginia Harned in the part. She then attracted the attention of F. F. Proctor, who engaged her as leading woman for his Fifth Avenue Theatre Stock Company, where she played fifty different roles. Of late years Miss Keim has been with stock companies in many of the larger cities of America. CONGRATULATIONS TO: Sir Rodmond P. Roblin, premier of Manitobia, 60 years old today.

My reply, in part, was as follows: Let us suppose It was a cough, or a common cold, or a hoarseness, or a pain in the chest, or a twinge of rheumatism, or a stoppage of the nose and discharge from the throat, indicating catarrh. What you are after is, first, to cure yourself of your trouble; and, second to gain experience so that you may cure yourself next time, if you i or any member of your family should be so afflicted. If you go to the drug store you buy Peruna. If it cures you then you know what to get next time. If it does not cure you and it proves to be worthless, you know what to avoid.

REPRESENTATIVE OF AMERICA IN MEXICO

Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, who is constantly keeping the state department in Washington in touch with the progress of the Diaz revold against the Madero government in Mexico. SPOILED HIS DEBUT. Sullivan Made the Youngster Porget He Was In a Ball Gam. Umpire Billy Evans, one of the great est story tellers in the big le.igue. recently told an interesting little narrative of how Billy Sullivan, the brainy catcher of the Chicago White Sox, coaxed a recruit Brownie to whiff the ozone. Ed Walsh was flinging for the Sox, and the kid Brownie, who had a reputation as a hitter, made his first appearance at the plate. "What league are you from, sonny?" asked "Sully" in a kindly tone. "I've played in' the Southern Michigan the last two seasons," responded the youngster. "Know 'King' Cole. I believe he came from your hustling league?" "No, Cole was a year ahead of my time." The call Of strike one reminded the young Brownie he was in a ball game. "I see by the records that you were one of the best hitters in your league." continued Sullivan, not noting the umpire's interruption. "Yes. I got along pretty well there." continued the busher proudly. "1 was hitting over .300 when the Browns bought me." The umpire called two strikes and the youth looked crestfallen He suddenly awakened to the fart that be was not paying any attention to Walsh's pitching and made a secret resolve to aim at the next ball "Have you any spitball pitchers in your league?" asked Sullivan, totally ignoring the fact that any strikes bad been called. "Not many," answered the Juvenile. "I don't think you will have any trouble making good in this league." "Sully" reassured him. "I like the way you stand at the plate." As the youngster was thinking over this bit of salve the upmire called "Three strikes, you're out!" Sullivan gave the youngster another kindly smile and said: "Don't wcSjry: Cobb, Crawford. Collins. Lajoie and all the boys do that once In awhile. Pleased to have met you." The youngster turned and gave Sullivan a bard look. He opened his mouth to say something, but changed his mind and did a slow Marathon bsck to the bench. New York Press. For Sale Flanders runabout automobile. Inquire W. H. Kingman, Monarch Laundry. 15-lt store, compounded in a manufactory, advertised tor sale to the people, Just as good medicines of this kind as the medicines that the doctors prescribe. All our best remedies nave been first found by common ,. experience. The testimony of one person and another has spread the news and finally its use has become general. This is exactly the way Peruna has spread among the people. It has not been advertising that has sold Peruna. Sometimes advertising sells the first bottle to a person, but afterwards it must be the merits of Peruna that sell it One person takes Peruna and is cured of a cough or cold, or catarrh, lung disease or kroney disease, or stomach disease. Some one of these derangements which perhaps the doctors have failed to cure, Peruna relieves. He tells his neighbor about it. His neighbor tries it for the same purpose and is cured also. He again tells it, and so the news is spread. Yes, I mean to put myself on record as saying it is from the experience of the common people that we must expect to sift out the genuin remedies from the many spuriou; ones claiming attention. As a doctor myself, who has spent many years in the study and practice of medicine, I say and shall say agab many times that Peruna is the best remedy I know of to meet the com mon every-day climatic ailments u which the household is subject And If I were keeping house as you are trying to keep free from debt and dis ease I should .certainly keep a bottle of Peruna in the house all the time.

TENNIS IS ANCIENT

The Game Had Its Origin In the Old Day ef Knighthood. By many people tennis Is thought to be an essentially modern game, but In reality It is probably one of the most ancient ball games and was a sport long before cricket was dreamed of. Though undoubtedly not existing during the Arthurian period, tennis, or. as It was called, "tenez," Is mentioned In the Arthurian legends, written In 1500, and the knights of the round table were pictured as engaged in the sport when the weather was too hot for tourneys or jousts. From a simple beginning and through many centuries, the intricacy of the game's rules have been developed, writes a contributor to the Ixndon Times. Its present name seems to be a corruption for the term tenes." which the server used In the same way "ready" Is called out now. in the beginning the name was jeu de pa nine, taken from the fact that the ball was struck with the hands instead of with a racket Later the hand was incased in a giove, and still later the glove was covered with strings running criss cross, from which condition there was but a short step to the short bandied racket. In feudal times the courts were merely open grass plots, oftentimes the lawn of a castle, and not till late In the seventeenth century was tho court inclosed, when walls were built as backstops. Now most of the modern English and French courts are entirely Inclosed with four walls and a roof.
