Embarrassing Moments
New York Daily Mirror..
One of my friends is a law stu
dent, and his head is so full of law
that sometimes he forgets his sur
roundings and indulges in day dreams.
A short time ago he went to church i
with me, and. tak'ng the holy water to !
sprinkle his forehead, he said in a
loud voiee, “Saving and excepting all
right of opposition, and appenl compe
tent to the party.” A titter ran
through* the church, which "forced us
to beat a hasty retreat.
I was at a party a few nights ago, j
and more guests arrived than the host- 1
ess thought would attend. Two young j
ladies happened to be standing in '
front of me. I Stood up to permit j
the lady at my left to take my chair,
and lifted my chair slightfly. To my
embarrassment I tripped the lady on
the right and thred her to the floor.
My most embarrassing moment oc
curred the other day when I board
ed a trolley car with four down eggs
which I hnd purchased. - Iu my haste
to reach a seat, the bag of eggs fell i
to the floor, every egg breaking and
splashing all over the passengers. I

tOdd Occupations.
this age of expected unexpec
tancies there are many people who
work atodd liandicrats. That is,
they do the unusual. For instance.
Dr. Francis 0. Nicholas, dean of the
Maryland Academy of Science, softs
and assembles the bones of prehistoric
animals. Frequently he has the task
of assembling tile bones of animals
said to be more thart 300,000 years
old. j
Corn husks have made a fortune
for W. E. Blain, of Wichita, Knits.,
who is known as the “corn husk
king.” He made a fortune during
the past five years by buying corn
husks and shipping them to various
parts of the country where they were
used to wrap up tint tamales.
Jf. K. de Schervilter, of Rouen,
France, embroiders eggshells at sl,-
)00 apiece. From 000 to 2.000 lio'esf
ire made in each shell and tile em
troidery fastened through them. All
mots are made on the inside of the
shell. Sometimes dozen of eggs are
used before one is embroidered per
fectly.

Don Seitz cn “The Country Press.”
Don C. Seitz in The Outlook for
January 27th, comments on “The
i Country Press.” An editorial note
says that in this article Mr. Seitz
“calls the roll of the states and sets
off a few well-placed bombs.” If he
does, some of these bombs are duds.
But Mr. Seitz does give a truthful
picture of newspaper conditions in
many rural sections when he says:
i "The small towns, as a Yule. do not
respect the local papers as they
should. The little locals are sniffed
at with contempt. Slang names are
employed in designating the useful
publications. I know an excellent
Plaindealer that is commonly alluded
to as The Painkiller, while Bladder is
often opprobrlondfy applied to the
weeklies in many towns. ‘ I do not
know why-, this is so, except .that
small towns contain more condensed
1 eussedness than, big ones, The news
paper is loyal to the community and
everybody in it, but nobody feels any
sense of loyalty to the newspaper.
Most of them receive.,but $1.50 a year
from subscribers—less than three
cents a copy for an amazing lot. of
information ami convenience. They
I usually have to ho clubbed into pay
i ing this, ami wiien the post office rule
| requiring advance payment went into
effect , the country weeklies lost about
25 per Wnt. of their readers.''
Os the opportunities in rural fields
Mr- Seitz hold this opinion, with
ij which I thurnrtghlv agree:

There must be a reaction in favor of
more people and better living in the
small towns and away from city con
gestion. Good roads and automobiles
I arc evening the flow of money through;
out the land. Soon one spot will be
about as good as another, and chances
for success will be more evenly dis
tributed. In this the country paper
will leap its deferred reward for do
ing so much for a community that
tile community is unable to do for it
self.”

AIETTER
“Big Business” Given Its Head, Has
Gone the Whole Hog.
Washington, Feb. 17.—1 s "h:g”
business going too far in Washington
these days?
That is to say, is it going too far
for the safety of the governmental
group which is letting it go? Won’t
there be a reaction presently, such as
will be bad for this group’s health?
Quite a bit of guessing is heard, to
the effect that maybe there will.
JTie “big business’’ group isn’t very
partisan—not in a regular party
sense.
That enables the “old guard,” in
both Tegular pnrties, to co-operate.
The so-called radicals, also on both
sides, kick, but they're in a minority
now. A while ago they held the bal
ance of power, but that was before the
“old guardsmen” got together and
gether and patriotically wiped out
party lines.
* * *
Oh, “big business" is in the saddle
at present, and no mistake, but how
about next election day? ,
That's a thought that makes some
administration men fret.
Certain things have been done or
left undone, the effects of which at
the polls they are unable to estimate
very accurately. “Big Business” giv
en its head, has gone the whole hog.
It has gone so lmtefi farther than it
ever went before that the situation's
rather new. How will it “take?”
Hotels in Handbills Filled to Capacity.
Southern Pines. Feb. 17.—The ho
tels of Southern Pines and Pinehurst
are filled to the limit, and people are
applying in yam for accommodations.
Never was the season so active, and
all the" signs pojftt to a bigger climax
as tile winter wears away. The vil
lages and highways are crowded with
cars from everywhere.
One interesting feature about tliis
winter’s patronage is the increasing
number of people returning from Flor
ida. Various reports are brought
with them, but it seems that the
crowded condition down there has led
many move to turn to North Caro
lina for their winter holiday. The
favorable comment on the North Car
olina sandhill country is a constant
mto among these migrants from the
southern region. The new million
dollar hotel to be built here for the
coming season’s business has become
an imperative necessity, just as more
hotels wiil be before long.
