J PAINFUL END TO JOY WE
Unfortunate Happening Caused Driver
to Thlnfc of Resigning From the'
! Optimists' Club.
How a member of the Optimists',
dub got into most disagreeable com
pany which made" him feel, the reverse
of optimistic, is being quietly toM. The
optimist has an automobile and mvited
, his best girl out for a ride. It was a
.most pleasant ride for a time on the
sroads south of city limits. A cool
ibreeze was blowing, the auto seemed
0 be the only one traveling in those
arts. It was dark and the optimist
'had plenty of opportunity to squeeze
the hand of his girl and to bestow a
. .gentle kiss now and then when the
Toad was straight. Sometimes there
"would be a sharp curve, however, and
EVthen "the optimist would have to devote
4ds whole attention to the machine.
On one occasion the optimist divided
Ids attention, with dire results. His
subconsciousness told him that there
. was a curve ahead. He, guided the
machine gracefully around the curve
rwhen he noticed he had passed a. fence
ipost on either side where a farm gate
iWas ajar. Before he could put on
the emergency brake there was a
crash, and then a most alarming cho
rus of squeals. The auto had run
squarely into a pigpen, and the pork
ers cried aloud in their alarm. The
if at swine jolted and rubbed against
ithe machine in their fright, and when
the commotion was at its height an
langry farmer reached the scene and
(Wanted to know "what in the heck"
jthe optimist was doing in his pigpen.
As he silently drove back to town with
a battered machine and a lightened
- jpocketbook, a furrowed look of pes
simism could have been seen on the
face of the optimist if it had not been
(so dark. Indianapolis News.
MANY BIRDS UNABLE TO FLY
Hving No Necessity to Use Wings
j to Escape Enemies, Those Mem
bers Ceased to Develop.
Of the 70 kinds of birds existing in
(New Zealand, 30 are found nowhere
else, and of this number by far the
parger portion is flightless; this, no
jdoubt, owing to the fact that for ages,
jever since the sea swallowed up a con
tinent, leaving only the islands com
prising the present Dominion of New
(Zealand, there have been no destruc
tive carnivora in the land, except those
small ones imported recently to aid in
abating the rabbit pest, and, having no
enemies, the birds also had no use for
..-iHwi,, jwiagijeeBe-4eveN s
years rolled by left many species with
only little nubbins for wings and ab
solutely without power of flight.
. Centuries ago there were in exist
ence at least three varieties of gigan
tic birds, two of which were as large
In body as the fabled roc, the rescuer
.of Sinbad the sailor. These included
the Hapagornis, the Dinornis or Moa
and the Cnemiornis, which was a gi
gantic goose. The Moa became ex
tinct some 500 years ago. It was a
flightless bird, said by tradition to
ihave been a hunter of humans, a man
eater, was of varying size and ex
tremely plentiful.
Had to Have "Atmosphere."
' That actors cannot labor without at
imosphere was demonstrated the other
day, when a man went amidst of a
hundred or more idle thespians who
twere holding down the curbstone oa
the Rialto, and said aloud : "I want to
hire about 20 men on contract. If any
of you men want work, follow me.
Eighty-seven disengaged thespians
followed the mysterious stranger to
Shis sumptuous suite of offices on For
ty-second street, according to the New
Tork correspondent of the Pittsburgh
pDispatch. There the mysterious
stranger faced the multitude and
said: "Three and a half a day for
you. Will you take It?" "What kind
of a show is this?" several actors de
manded. "All you've got to do is to
3ush a wheelbarrow across a plank
eight hours a day and get three-fifty.
iAnd then they all walked away, mut
tering grievously and wondering
rwhere, as artists, they were at. The
'.mysterious stranger was a building
contractor. And because he could not
!3jet wheelbarrow men and sand shov
lers he was compelled to stop work
jon a skyscraper.
S Beware Deadly Nightshade Berries.
The berries of the deadly nightshade
ICatrona belladonna), now ripe, are
?such a tempting fruit for children that
hthey and their parents ought to know
ithe plant and the terrible danger of
-eating its berries. These are the
ource from which the poisons atro
pine and belladonna are made.
The deadly nightshade grows from
three to five feet high on strong,
branched, purple-colored stems. Its
pointed, oyal leaves vary In size and
stand in pairs on short toot stalks.
!The flowers are purple, pendent and
bell-shaped. These appear , in June
land July, and give place to shining
&lack berries in August and Septem
ber. This poisonous herb is of the same
jfamlly as the tomato and potato.

Seals Help Patients at Sanatorium.
Pro d ably the most direct bene
fit realized from selling Red Cross

numbers of young" men and wo
men, who would otherwise not be
able to do so, . take treatment at

their way Ijack to health rsl tot
fulness. Dr. L. B. McBtayer,
who is executive secretary of the
Red Cross Seal Commission of
this State and superintendent ot
the Sanatorium, writes: VJust
this morrling we had a letter from
a minister in Zebulon, asking- for
2000 seals which he expects to
have ioid to pay the expenses of
a patient here at the Sanatorium."
"The Red Cross Christmas
seal," says the Board of Health,
"offers any town or community
an opportunity to care for its in
digent tuberculous patietr The
sale of seals is as much a business
proposition as vany belonging to
this progressive age. Its methods
are highly endorsed by all busi
ness men and women, and its
permanancy assured by its past
record. Red Cross Seals and
their work have come to say."

find that he is a light eaier. Be
as careful as you v ill, however,
you will occasionally eat more
than you should and wili feel the
need of. Chamberlain s Tablets to
correct the disorder These
tables do not contain pepsin,
but strengthen the stomach and
enable it to perform its functions

FRENCH DRIYE IN VERDUN NETS GAINS.
Berlin Asserts War Losses of British and
- French Total Are Now 5,100,000.
Dec. 19. The British Prime
Miuister will reply Tuesday af
ternoon in the House of Commons
to the German peace note which
has been transm t ed by the Am
erican Ambassadors to the British
and Fr&nch foreign offices, and
also will outline the policy of the
new Government, a pronounce
ment that will have a far reach
ing effect on the world war.
French troops have regained
the entire occupancy of the Cham
brettes farm, northeast of Verdun
and about the center of their ad
vmce of last week. Prisoners
taken in the latest French thrust
on the Verdun front now total
more than 11.000, in. addition to
115 cannon and 107 machine guns
captured or destroyed. Paris re
ports the repulse of several Ger
man offensive attempts in the
Somme region.
Unofficial estimates made in
BeTlin place the losses of the
French army to date at 3,300 0
men, and the British losses at 1,
300,000. The Anglo-French losses on
the Somme to the end of Novem
ber are estimated at 800,000, the
British share being 550,000. The
German losses on the Somme are
declared by the Germans to have
been less than 500,0 0.
In the region of Buzeu, Berlin
states, the soldiers of Field Mar
shal von Mackensen have been
successful in minor engagements.
Petrograd asserts that in the re
gion of the Filipe Chti railroad
station east of Buaeu, hostile at
tacks were arrested,
The Badadagh-Pecineaga line,
about 40 miles north of the Tcher
navoda Constanza railway, has
been crossed by the Teutonic
troops, who now have taken vir
tually all the ground s they heldi
during their previous advance in
northern Dobrudja. The advance
in Dobrudja brings the forces of
the Central Powers near the im
portant railroad and storage cen
ters of Ibraila and Galatz.
On the western Moldavian
frontier the Russians have taken
two ridges of heights, according
to Petrograd. One ridge was in
the Uzul valley and the other east
of Glashutte, where more than
20.0 prisoners were captured.
Except for the repulse of Rus
sian attacks by the Austro Ger
mans near Lutsk, in Volynia and
near Zboroff, in Galicia, there has
been little activity on the other
battle fronts.
Berlin announces that a French
battleship of the Patrie class was
damaged heavily by fi torpedo
frotji a QeFman submarine in the
Mediterranean Sea on December
12 and that on the previous day a
French transport, carrying 1 000
soldiers, was torpedoed southwest
of Sicily. The French Admralty
denies the loss of a French war
ship of the Patrie class.
Seventeen American muleteers
were killed on December 14 when
the British horse transport Rus
sian was sunk by a submarine in
the Mediterranean Sea, according
to an announcement by the Brit
ish Admiralty. Eleven members
of the crew also lost their lives.
The Russian is declared to, have

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
Possible Explanation of Why Some
Business Enterprises Fall, While
Others Succeed.
"It is an axiom that it is the little
things that count, and I never had a
better illustration of such logic than
an incident in a cigar store the other
day," said an observing man.
"I wanted to buy a box of cigars,
but it was a busy time of day. Tna
store was crowded and there weren't
enough clerks to handle the rush. Cus
tomers were impatient and complain
ing, but .that did not help matters a bit
for the clerks were hustling their best
"When my turn came I asked for a
box of cigars of a certain brand. The
clerk got them and started to wrap
them up. As I did not care to buy
Koods without looking them over, I
asked him to open the box. He did,
but lost the small brass tack that held
down the coyer, so when he closed the
box he had to look for another tack.
"Finally he took a tack out of an
other full box of cigars, but bent it so
that it could not be used. Then he
looked for an empty box with a tatfi
left in it, but there weren't any. Oth.
customers impatiently watched, grun
Ming all the time. At last the cleik
had to open another box of cigars and
take the tack from the box, and with
it he nailed my box.
"Now, why didn't that store have
exta tacks on hand?"
LAND VALUES GROW RAPIDLY
Philadelphia Property Worth "Her.
Times More Than It Was Ac
quired for In '90s.
Real estate experts are author! t
for saying that the value of land jusi i
outside of Philadelphia has risen ar
much in 20 years as the value of lane
within the city limits.
We Shall only use one illustration. A
3. Drexel gave approximately $2,50C
an acre for something more than 17C
acres at Overhroek. That was in tht
early "90s. Today the value is near
$25,000,
Every dollar there has grown to at
least ten.
In the central business section of
Philadelphia Increase In land values
has also been tremendous during these
two decades, but in other large por
tions of the town property valaes have
not kept up the same relative speed.
From Frederick A. Blehle it Is
learned that anthracite lands which
his ancestor had purchased for $700
were held for one century and .then

Pistol Shooting.
At short range an expert will keep
a can moving until his gun is empty,
either by shooting through it or strik
ing the ground directly underneath
it If the nature of the ground Is right
this latter method makes the can
jump in thie air, the effect being finite
spectacular, Bottles or cans thrown
in the air are not particularly difficult
to hit if thrown so as to make it as
easy as possible for the shooter, and
almost any fair shot can put two
bullets through an old hat thrown in
the air before it reaches the ground.
In general the secret of hitting ob
jects thrown in the air is to aim the
pistol underneath them and fire as
the object is falling into tb,e Use of
sight One really good at this class of
work will throw an object into the
air, draw his pistol from the holster
with the same hand with which be
threw, and hit the object before it
reaches the ground. There are few
who fcaye tfce speed to, do this, how
