THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, TUESDAY, OCT. 7, 1913

Married Life the Second Year By MABEL HERBERT URNER. RIGHT after breakfast Helen went upstairs and came down with her hat and coat. "Mother, I'm going to the post office this morning. I vant some pearl buttons for Winifred's dress, and I might as well get the mail while I'm out. "And you'd better get some white thread number eighty. We haven't any thing finer than sixty and that's too course for that thin mull." It was a bright, clear morning, with the freshness of dew still in the air. Helen hurried ib rough the village toward Main street, on which was the post office, the bank, Wood's dry goods "Emporium" and the "Palace Hotel." Helen stopped first for the buttons and cotton. She was almost afraid to get the mail afraid lest there should after all. be nothing from Warren. The last had been only a brief note dated eight days ago. She had written three letters since anxious, loving letters still he had not answered. But there would be a letter this morning! With all the positiveness she could command she told herself that. A letter was there in the office awaiting her now! All that she had ever heard of the power of belief, of mental science, she now brought to bear on this. There would be a letter this morning. She knew there would be. IT WAS FULL OF MAIL. When she entered the post office tier glance at once fell on her father's box No. l li. Her heart leaped. It was full of mail! She tapped li'ghtly on the box and the postmaster, with a genial "good morning," handed her out the mail. There were two newspapers and a number of letlers. She held them tight, rigidly keeping her gaze fixed ahead of her. She wt . ild not look at them until she reached home. If she waited until then, one of the letters in her hand would be from Warren. It wa.-- a relic of her childish fancies of propitiating fate, of "making a bargain with the gods." It was the same instinct that used to make her walk all the way to school without stepping on a crack in the hope that she would then pass her examination. And when at the end of the quarter her report card was given her, she would hold it close, not looking at it until she reached home believing that is she did this, the mark would be a high one. And once she even kept her report unopened until the next day firmly believing that if she could endure this suspense if she could only wait until morning, all the marks would be good. And they had been. Curiously enough, she thought of that now. While she would not look down at the addresses, she felt the envelopes with easy fingers. There was one well filled and about the size and feel of fhe paper Warren always used. There 'were two other envelopes which seemed to contain only one sheet of paper, a long commercial envelope, and two others which were unsealed, plainly circulars. Besides there were a pamphlet and two papers. Still without looking she separated the three possibilities from the others. One of these was from Warren. She repeated it over and over. The thought that she was mixin:; mental science and childish page superstition did not occur to her. SUPERSTITION OF CHILDHOOD. A big grey cat sitting on a gate post arched its back and stretched itself lazily as she passed. Whatever her absorption, Helen could never go by a ?at without stopping to pet it. And now ?he rubbed its arched back and murmured : "Oh, kitty, kitty-cat. one of these letters must he from Warren." And the cat blinked and purred at her sympathetically. Just three more blocks now two more and now she kvas at her gate1. Martha was sweeping off the front porch. She hurried around to the side door and up to her room without meeting anyone. She closed and locked the door and went over to the window, the mail still held tight in iter hand. Now she would look. No, not just yet she w:;s afraid! Her heart was beating painfully. Then, suddenly, with a catch of throat she spread out the letters before- her- and looked! The rest w-. circulars! A sparrow came and sat on the rood of the porch, just underneath her window, chirping

BOMBS BIGGER THAN THE CANNON

A German Invention That Defies By GARRETT. P. SERVISS. TO shoot a bomb many times larger in diameter than the cannon that propels it is the problem that a young engineer of the famous gun-shop of Krupp, in Germany, set himeslf to solve, a few years ago, and his successful solution has led to an invention which the German army may use in the next war. The young inventor's fellow workmen were inclined to laugh at him when he proposed to fire his projectiles fro moutside instead of inside the gun. They pointed out to him that I nothing like that had ever been done '' or thought of. Their minds were hidebound by precedent and tradition, and they assumed that what had never been done never could be done. They did not remember that some of the greatest inventions in existence have : been made bv boldlv defvintr nrece- I dent and refusing to believe in impossibilities. The plan of the young inventor w very simple. He put his big bomb o the end ct a rod lust large enough ; M.-7 The New Bomb. go into the b:irrel of the gun and rach the powder. Then the bomb rested on the mouth of the gun like a soap bubble on the end of a blowpipe. When the powder blew out the rod it sen the bomb ahead of it. Anybody could have thought of that arrangement. 'I he difficulty lay in making the proper adjustments. The bomb must be firmly held in position, and yet. when fired it must automatically separate itself from the rod, because if the latter accompanied it in its flight, its course through the air would be erratic and uncertain. Then there were many calculations and experiments to be made in order to determine the proper charge of powder to be employed, the best way to cause the bomb to explode when it reached its object, the steadiest form of mount ing for the gun, etc. j All these difficulties have been over- : come and during the last two years the i bombenkonnone. or "bomb-cannon." ; has been gradually improved until new ' the German war officials think so : much of it that they are keeping as se- ' Tot as possible the experiments that . they are maklne with it ! lu its latest form this gun is able to j throw a bomb five or six times larger j than the diameter of the gun barrel i to a distance of a thousand feet, and j ! there is said to be every reason for be- j j lieving thai soon this distance may be , : greatly increased. j In their present form these strange ! ! guns hear a considerable resemblance ! to huge frogs crouched for a leap. ; J with big halls on the end of their long i noses.

"Hlen Helen!" called her moth'v from the hall below. "Didn't yon tret th? mail? Was there anything for your father?' i She gathered up the letters and pa- ' ! pers and ran out into the hall. "Here f they are," going half way down the I stairs and handing them through the ' j banister to her mother. "T was just ; j reading Warren's letter and forsot to ' I give father these." ! "Oh.

Now, the sole object of the new projectiles is not. to spread such gases, since a part of their effectiveness depends upon the direct results of their The Manicure Lady "S ISTER MAYME and I certainly have Wilfred's goat now," said the Manicure Lady. "You ought to see the biography of his life that the poor simp wrote. Some trade paper that he wrote some poems for wrote and asked him for his biograhy, though goodness knows what they thought it would amount to. My poor brother nearly lost his mind with delight when he got their letter, and was shut up all day before yesterday writing the story of his life. His pen name Wilfred Wilberforce, and this is the biography he wrote. Mayme swiped it and made a ce of it on the typewriter. Listen to this: "Wilfred Wilberforce, poet, song writer and essayist, was born on the 29th eiy of March, 1SS5, in the city of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. His parents were poor, but honest and they gave young Wilfred the best education possible under the circumstances. He went through the high school and showed a remarkable grasp in all his studies. He was particularly fond of Latin, and surpassed his teachers in that interesting language, although they, too, were exceptionally intelligent. "Mr. Will'erforce wrote his first famous poem when he was but fifteen years of age. It was called 'The Dying Horse' and contained some lines of wonderful beauty. From that time on his poems came thick and fast, and

That being the case, say the French critics, we may expect, when the next war comes, to find our soldiers asphyxiated by deleterious gases released by the explosion of these new German bombs, and if anybody objects our enemies will point to the wording of the law, and thus by a genuine lawyer's trick, escape responsibility. And in confirmation of this assertion, they aver that the German war office is keeping secret the composition of a powder which, in the act of exploding the bombs, releases a deadly gas. now they are a household word in every land. "Mr. Wilberforce is also an essayist of rare ability, some of his essays having been pronounced as better than Ruskin's best efforts and at least as meritorious as those of Emerson. He is now but twenty-eight years old, and his friends and admirers think there is no limit to his future greatness. He does not drink or smoke, though his father does both to excess." "There was a lot more to it. all about on the sam eorder," said the Manicure Lady, "and when me and Mayme kidded him about it he burned it up. I never seen him so mad.

I don't think no son should print anything about his dad's habits, even if the old gent dies like his tea and smokes, do you, George?" "Certainly not," said the Head Barber. "A man gets enough slams when he is running for office without having his own son print stuff about him that sounds like a knock. Your brother must think pretty well of himself, too. I don't see how nobody could write anything beautiful about a dying horse." "It wasn't beautiful at all," said the Manicure Lady.

ing over and over: 'Simple! Be simple. Miss Victor!' "1 would like to say that to all beauty sekers: 'Simple! Be Simple!" Affectation is never charming. If you permit your manner to become overoffusive elaborate and airy you will at once be accused of affectation. Affectation is insincere. Be sincere that wili demand simplicity. It will give you a warm, sweet human charm. "After you have cultivated simplicity, study being responsive. Be interested in people. ' Be interested in all the great concerns of life that are going on around you. Very often the woman who appears a beauty while you have but glanced at her perfect features lacks the brains to bear careful inspection. She falls apart at the touch of reality like all poorly constructed things. "The most beautiful picture In the world would not be beautiful if It were covered by dust and grime and mold. I think stupidity and unsympathetic nature and elf-oonsciousness hide beauty the same way. "Cultivate your knowledge of life, cultivate your interest" In people and things, learn to forget yourself. Then your face will take on a radiance, an intelligence, a sweetness that will make you beautiful even If you figure and hair are without distinction. THINK BEAUTY. "Think Beautiful Thoughts. They will mould your face to bo like them. Your eyes will be like deep pools in whose depth there is hidden treasure. Your mouth will take on sweet, full lines of graclousness. You will radiate charm.

Good food, fresh air. exercise, no dissipation. These are the basis of bodily health. And not to dissipate means not to overindulge In anything, good or bad. It means moderation.
