What Yin a Name?

Some say very little; others would not trade their names for the best farm in Wayne county. A colore4 servant in Aiken, S. C, who had just heard of the birth of a third granddaughter was in a quandary as to what to name the child. She remembered. hearing her mistress read about the Titanic disaster and rather fancied the name Car-

pathia. So in the little town of Aiken there's a little pidririinny running around by the name of The Carpathia Jackson. The other two grandchildren are Exima Jackson and Mutual Life Insurance Jackson. These names are not a whit worse than some of the names mothers copy from pieces of fiction and inflict on their children. Taking the Hard Knocks When a man is willing to take punishment on a bad job in order that he may learn, he is adding intangible assets to his wealth which some day will be converted into actual cash. Some of our leaders gave up profitable positions they did not like for small-paying jobs that made, them feel contented. They lived from hand to mouth for years until their apprenticeship was served, then they went to the front with a rush. The hard knocks they endured were the blows that made them successes.

who hold them either are shrewd enough to guard their secret well, or the snap is a figment of a fancy, and the men who believe they have sinecures are after all worse slaves to duty than some of their hard working neighbors. Snap hunters are usually to be found in the cheap lodging houses, or are holding menial positions in big institutions. Hard workers are the fellows that put up at the big hotels and hold down the big jobs.

Easy Jobs at Good Pay We have made many inquiries and compared notes with many men, but we still have to find an easy job at a good pay. Some how or other an easy job never pays a big salary, while good pay always marks a hard job. Perhaps there are some snaps that we have overlooked, but the men

What is Genius? Mi. Edison, inventor of the incandescent lamp, says genius is 2 per cent inspiration and 98 per cent perspiration. His working hours are proof of his theory. He punches a time card, in his works with the regularity of an ordinary employe. His time card of the week ending August 27, shows that on Wednesday he did not come in the morning for he had worked all night. He quit work at 8:16 in the morning and "punched in" again at 2:20. He worked all night, leaving the next morning at 8:11, after eighteen hours of work. During that week he worked 95 hours and 49 minutes. If his definition of genius is correct, he is demonstrating it in his own life.

A Deadly Sport

"Gun-toting" is set out as one of the principal causes of death in the United States in a report of the census bureau. Danger lurks in every gun carried and in every gun left loaded in a dresser

drawer. The danger in a box of dynamite is ap

parent to almost every one, but few seem to know

that a loaded revolver is almost as great a men

ace. The census bureau makes the following

astonishing statement:

"During the year 1915 firearms caused more deaths than railroad accidents, more than five times as many as street car accidents, nearly as many as railroad and street car accidents com

bined and more than twice as many as automobile accidents.

"The total number of deaths due to the use of

firearms in the registration area in 1915 was

7,994, corresponding to a death rate of 11.9 per

100,000. Of these deaths 1,501 were accidental."

GIVE THIRD NUMBER OF LECTURE COURSE

Mr. Fox had not been very successful; he had prowled about all night, but not a door or a window did he find unlatched, and here it was almost morning and he was going home empty handed. Just as he was sliding along closo beside the stone wall, so his shadow would not be seen In fading moonlight, he caught sight of something that made hi3 heart stand still. It was a bright-looking object and Mr. Fox was sure he saw something moving, so he slid behind a rock and listened. Not a sound did he hear, all was aa still as could be, and Mr. Fox peeked out. Nothing to be seen either that could hurt him in any way, but still some-

thing shone not far away, and Mr. Fox decided to find out what that something was. What Mr. Fox saw was a piece of broken mirror, but he had never seen a mirror before so, of course, it looked strange to Mr. Fox to see a fierca looking head staring at him and he at once growled. And when the fierce looking head did not growl back Mr. Fox put out hla paw and touched It, and the he

discovered the head was smooth.

"That is a looking glass," said Mr. Fox. "I have heard there were such things, but I never saw one before. I'll take it home; perhaps Mrs. Fox will forgive me for not bringing home s good breakfast." and off he ran with

the piece of mirror.

Mrs. Fox did not like it very well when the found her husband had not brought hom a duck of a fat goose, but Mr. Fox tacked the mirror on the

wall after tying a piece of string

about it and led his wife up to it.

"There, my dear," he said, "now you can see as well as I can how hand

some you are. I have always felt

selfish because I had all the pleasure

of beholding you; but now you can share it with me." Mrs. Fox smiled In spite of herself at this compliment and ehe took a look into the mirror and then she smiled again. That afternoon Mr. Fox went out again to see if he could find a stray hen or goose, and he told Mrs. Fox she better go in the opposite direction and look about also. Mrs. Fox said she would and she fully intended to do so, but when sha started she happened to think of the mirror and locked in it. "Mercy," she exclaimed, "if my nose isn't shiny; it would scare away even an inquisitive hen. I must put some po,wder on it this minute." . Then she discovered a place on her face where the fur was not quite smooth and Mrs. Fox began to rub and smooth the place until it suited her. "Well, well," sjhe said at last, "1 never before knew I had such really good-looking eyes. I must smooth the wrinkles out around them with some goose grease, and I believe that would do my whole face good, too." Mrs. Fox got the goose grease anl began her work of making herself beautiful, and before she realised how time was going Mr. Fox came in the door with a fat goose and hen. "What in the world is the matter with your face?" he asked, when he saw Mrs. Fox's face covered with the grease. "Oh, my dear Reynard, why did you never tell me how wrinkled I was getting and how shiny my nose was; really I was quite a sight, and I am

trying to make myself beautiful, for I really have nice looking eyes." Mr. Fox dropped the hen and goose he was carrying and looked at his wife. "Do you mean to tell me that you have been standing before that looking-glass ever since I went out fixing your face?" he asked. Mrs. Fox said she had, and she intended to continue to do so every day until she had smoothed out the wrinkles and made her face nice and soft. "How long with it take?" asked Mr. Fox, thinking it would not take long, perhaps, and that he would not find fault. "O, I do not know," answered his wife, "but after the wrinkles are out I will have to spend some time on my face every day, you know, so that the wrinkles will not come again. You were a dear Reynard to bring home this mirror. I never knew how much I needed it before." Mr. Fox said not a word in reply to his wife, but he thought much, and that was how to be rid of the mirror. "If she keeps this up," he thought, "I will never have anything to eat, and besides, I will have all the work to do. She will never go hunting hens or ducks again for fear of spoiling her skin." So one day when Mrs. Fox was out Mr. Fox said lie would, mend the roof that had needed mending for a long time, and Mrs. Fox was very glad he had found time at last to do it. "Bang, bang!" went Mr. Fox's ham

mer on the roof and then he leaned

over the side of the house and about the place where he thought the mirror hung he gave an extra hard bang, and crack went the mirror on the floor. When his wife returned Mr. Fox was still busy on the roof, and he heard her 6Cream as she went in the door. "She will get over it," though Mr. Fox. "She will be pretty angry for a while, so I guess I better stay here." After a while Mr. Fox got anxious, for not a sound did he hear, so he

climbed down and went in the house, and there on the floor lay his wife in a faint. "Oh, Reynard, Reynard!" she sighed, as he sprinkled water over her, "it is terrible back luck. It will last for seven years, too." "What is bad luck?" asked Mr. Fox, in surprise. "Why, to have a mirror break. Look! My mirror fell on the floor and is broken, and everybody knows that seven years of bad luck will follow that." Mr. Fox assured her it was all foolishness, that old saying, and he thought to himself that any sort of luck would be good luck now that the mirror was out of the way, for he felt sure there would never be another in their house. So he told Mrs. Fox that she was entirely mistaken about that saying anyhow; that seven years of good luck was sure to follow the breaking of a mirror, and she should be happy in

stead of sorry, he was quite sure hewas rejoicing. Tomorrow's story "The Elves' Ball."
