CAUSE OF ALL THE TROUBLE Alarm Clock Meant Sleepless Night for Bridget and Late Break fast for Family. It was 10: CO in the morning, and the Hooper household was beginning to reel hungry. But dared they beard the cook in her sacred lair, and hint even at the fact that breakfast was already two and a half hours behind time? At last Mrs. Hooper plucked up courage and tiptoed very softly to the top of the kitchen stairs. "Bridget," she murmured, sweetly, "breakfast is two and a half hours late!" "Don't I know it as well as you?" re turned the cook. "Well," pursued Mrs. Hooper, meek ly, "but what excuse do you offer? Don't you remember ray telling you Mr. Hooper had to catch the early train?" "Shure, an Oi overslep' meself!" explained the domestic. "But I gave you an alarm clock only yesterday!" "Begorra, mum," cried Bridget, angrily, "an' it was that thing that made all the throuble! Oi niver shlep a wink all noight waitin' for it to go off, an' when it did Oi was so toired Oi couldn't move!" Rehoboth Sun day Herald. Salt Cellars Most Ancient. That salt cellars were in use in the most remote times is well known, as salt dates back far into the night of time. Homer qualifies salt as be ing divine. Among the Greeks and Romans it occupied the place of honor at banquets, and among the wealthy salt cellars were handed down from father to son. During the latter part of the middle ages the salt cellar was the most conspicuous object on the table. It was always placed in the center of the long table at which the household gathered, my lord and lady, family and guests being at one end, and the servants and retainers at the ether, and in this way one's social position was at once apparent, the "gentle folk" sitting "above the salt," and the yeomanry below it. Ellen Not Given 'Arf a Chance. A "maid" furnished to stars and leading women ty the management of English theaters is called the "dresser." She is generally a "slavey" who is an original personage with en tertaining qualities of her own. "Do you always 'go in' for Shakespeare, miss?" asked one of these dressers of Ellen Terry at one of her last Lon don appearances. "0, no; sometimes I play in modern pieces," was the actress' reply. "Do you now? But I suppose you act in Shakespeare when you can't got nought else to do? Now, I should really like to see you in a real good play like "Women and Wine.' " A Lesson Here. An amusing story, albiet one that carries a weighty lesson, was told in Wall street recently cf Mr. Harriman. "lie was too absorbed in affairs," the narrator, a broker, said. "He had, one day, an appointment to lunch at two. Two came, and he was so busy he forgot lunch altogether. He worked on till four without intermission. "At four, quite naturally, Mr. Har riman began to have a strange inter ior sense of emptiness, cramp and lightness. " 'Dear me,' he said, patting his waistcoat with his palm, 'I wonder what I ate for lunch that disagreed with me!'" Another Napoleon Relic. An interesting addition has been made to the contents of the Army mu seum in Paris in the shape of the red and white ensign, ornamented with gold beetles, which Napoleon gave to the troops in the island of Elba dur ing his sojourn there. A French con temporary informs us that the flag came into the possession of Col. Camp bell, whom the allies set to keep watch over the emperor, when he made his sudden departure from the island, and has remained in the fam ily ever since. The gift is one which the French nation will no doubt be glad to have in its possession. s Emulsion e't is the original has been the standard for thirty-five years. There are thousands of so-called "just as good" Emulsions, but they are not they are simply imi tations which are never as good as the original.

SCOTT & EOWNE, 409 Pearl St, New York A Prayer lor 1910. Today is New Year's day. A year of my life lies untouched before me mine to make what I will. A year from today I shall be looking back and asking myself what I have done with that year what I have achieved. Help me on that day to be able to inswer, "I dare not say what I have achieved, but this I know, that with all my heart I have tried to care more for being than appearing good ; to think more of being lovable than being loved; to be as well fortified as 1 could against evil and yet to enjoy each happy day with all my heart even though I knew that evil was near; to feel a personal responsibility for any wrong in the world that I could help to correct; to be as toler ant of other people's sins and weak nesses as I was intolerant of my own; to be contented with my lot but healthily discontented with myself; to cultivate that fine pride that for ever keeps one above vanity; to com pare my achievements not with the achievements of other people but rather with my own highest possibil ities; to so live that I may pass along to those who come after me as high a standard of living and ideals as I received; and last but not least to cultivate every day and every hour that humble and yet crucial qual ity the fine art of being good to live with." Ruth Cameron About Ynur Hail Carrier. Don't detain your carrier by ask ing him to wait until you address or write a card or letter. Don't blame the carrier if there are changes made in the route. Don't ask your carrier to carry notes to your neighbors to avoid pay ing postage. Don't ask your carrier to let you ride with him. Don't put up any old box on your mail route.

Mer chants Journal. Everybody on Mr. Sellers Farm WorKs Many of Mr. Sellers' neighbors do not make a half bale of cotton to the acre. It proves that the farm must be operated as any other business on business principles. There is as much in the farmer as there is in the land, and it is also a safe guess that there are no loafers on Mr. Sellers' farm. Everybody works there, and produce more than they consume. Indifference and laziness do not go hand in hand with successful farm ing or anything else. There is too much idle dreaming of a chance to find an easier lot, something that will not soil the hands nor tire the body. Where those who live on farms get foolish notions out of their heads they are making a success; and they live the happiest, freest lives of any people on earth. Greens boro News. A Creed.

"That Honey Boy averaged spending fifty cents a week on you," he said. Here's a dollar a week to take his place. Every time he called he cleaned out the refrigerator; your mother will see to it that your brothers do this in the future. He kept you up late at nights. Your baby sister is cross, and hereafter you will let the baby do this for you. He took posession of the most comfortable rocker on the porch; when you look at that rocker in future it will not be empty, bringing the pang to your heart that your silly novels tell about; it will be occupied by the man who paid for it, and that's me. Your mother and I stayed by you through colic and teething, and are going to get you through this if we have to take turns spanking you. Now take your eyes off of trie moon and look at the dust around you. Atchinson Globe. 1,000 Successful Men. I have on my desk a list of 1,000 successful men of this nation. By "successful" I do not mean mere moneymakers, but men who have given us new conceptions of steam, electricity, construction vork, edu cation, art, etc. These are the men who influence our moral as well as physical lives. They construct for better things. How these mei ftrated in work is enteresting. Their first foothold in work is a fine study. Three hundred started as farmers' sons. Two hundred started as messenger boys. Two hndred were newsboys. One hundred were printers' ap prentices. One hundred were apprenticed in manufactories. Fifty began at the bottom of rail way work. Fifty only 50 had wealthy par ents to give them a start. Juvenile Court Record. Accidents will happen, but the best regulated families keep Dr. Thomas' Eclectic Oil for sure emergencies.

Apparently Is Able to DIs- ; tinguish Between Real and i False Dangers. j The intelligence of the fox Is often shown by the way he refuses to be headed when he has made up his mind a3 to the safe course to take, says the London Globe. The West Somerset have an excellent fixture at Kilve, but it has one drawback the sea is not far off, and foxes naturally often make for the cliffs, & secure refuge. A fox can be easily headed at time3, but that is nearly always when to be seen : would betray him to his enemies the : hounds and give them an advantage; ; but when, if he makes his point, the advantage is on his side, then nothing will turn him. To return to the West Somerset at Kilve; they found a fox, and the whipper-in, seeing that the fox meant to go to the cliffs if possible, started to head him off. The ground was open, and for half a mile the whipper-in and fox were taking parallel lines, the fox clearly meaning to slip by and find a refuge in the cliffs. The man turned the fox away at last, but in a short time the hounds lost him, and I be lieve he got back after all. Again the master ranged up some of the field to prevent another fox going back into a certain covert. In vain whips were rattled against saddle flaps; the fox went right through the watchers and made his poinL It is j a thing I have often noticed both with i stag or fox, that the quarry seems to distinguish between real and false dan gers. APPRECIATION FOR A POET Sentimental Frenchmen Have Better Way Than That Displayed by Colder English. On the day it was announced that the body of poor John Davidson had been found, I read a brief paragraph showing how such a calamity might easily have been avoided. The in habitants of Tourcoing, in the north of France, are very proud of their local dialectic poet, M. Julea Wat teun. Instead of waiting to erect a statue to him after death they have made sure that he shall be put be yond the reach of financial worry, that bane of so many poets great and small, during his lifetime. There was a demonstration in honor of M. Watteun last year and a public sub scription was opened. The sum col lected has now been utilized to bni'1 the poet a house, which shall be his during his lifetime and then revert to the commune, and In addition to secure him an annuity; while if his death precedes that of his wife an annuity of half the value will be paid to her so long as she lives Shiftless Neighbors. "I want the Globe," writes Mrs. Ly sander John Appleton, "to suggest to its readers that they keep up the j spirit of improvement around the house. I borrowed a stepladder of a neighbor recently, and it was broken. A lawn mower I borrowed of another was in such poor condition I couldn't use it, and the washboiler I borrowed from another neighbor leaked so bad ly it put out the fire. Don't these peo ple know that such signs of neglect speaks ill of them? I haven't made any jelly thi3 summer because an other neighbor's preserving kettle is cracked. Really, I shall have to move out cf the neighborhood unless my neighbors improve." Atchison Globe. The Legs Scared Him. "There," said the commuter In the Grand Central station, pointing to a robust colored man, "is a good railroad porter spoiled. "You see, he was on a Pullman car and was doing well until a man with two wooden legs became a passenger in his coach. That night the traveler put his artificial underpinning beneath the berth he occupied. When Sam came along to collect the shoes he pulled out not only footwear, but also three feet of leather tops and steel springs, together with metal joints and ball bearing3. The sight so worked upon the superstitious fellow that he fled in terror. He resigned his place. Now he is handling baggage." New York Press. By Candle Time. "It did me good," observed a young girl who had just returned from Eng land, "to see, in real life, one of the old customs my grandfather used to tell me about the burning of the time candle at an auction. In Berk shire the old custom still prevails, and when an auction is in progress and an article is put up for bidding a short length of candle is lighted as the bidding begins. The shouting con tinues until the candle burns out, and the last bid before it flickers its last is the one that takes the cake. I don't know but it has an advantage over the 'going, going, gone' variety, but it is fearfully slow and un-American." Judged by Costume. People looking back upon the dawn of motoring will certainly remember the coming of the motor clothes. The possibilities of the new sport demand ed something fierce and untamed in the way of costume, something that Is best described as a cross between a wild beast and a cave dweller. Some one has said that the motor outfit is the only really new thing which will distinguish our unimportant era of dress, and to this we may now add those aviation creations; but Heaven forbid that ages hence our tasta should be judged by these!
