A Persistent Yankee.
To Illustrate Yaukee persistency n
Wail street magnate told the following
story the other day .
"A new England Yankee who was n
prisoner on a pirate ship In the good
old days when pirates roamed the seas
became because of his Yankee attri-
butes objectionable ro his captors it
waa dually decided to maroon him ott
a desert Island with but little food
ana a coffin to remind him of his in-
evitable fate. The island was found
and the New Englander and the coffin
were left alone on the beach while the
pirate ship sailed away. For several
days she sailed and then became be-
calmed. For three days she lay there
with not a breath of air On the eveu-
lng of the third day a black speck was
noticed on the horizon. It steadily
grew larger and soon was close "enough
for the men on the ship to make out
what it was."
The man of millions paused for an
instant aud then said smiling "It was
the Yankee in his coffin with half of
the lid in either hand rowing for
home."—Cincinnati Commercial Trib

How to Quit 8moking.
Do not light the first cigar less than
half an hour after breakfast The more
difficult this delay may be. the more
need there Is for a cure. The remain
der of the day smoke the same as
usual It is only the first cigar with
which we are dealing. Keep this up
for a week then lengthen the interval
to an hour for another week then
make It one and a half hours two.
two and a half and so on If you
have an "all gone" sensation a long-
ing for something and don't know
what sort of feeling eat an orange or
apple or almost any kind of fruit but
don't smoke until the time is up. Th>
nerr«s being deprived of their morning
stimulant are crying for nourishment
which nature is hastening to supply
through Increased appetite to supply
digestion. By the time the first cigar
la entirely eliminated the cure is ef
fected with no serious dertfugement of
the heart or digestive apparatus ii
now requires only a moderate will
power to make the cure permanent. -

A Crow's Stratagem.
A crow had been captured by the
children Id a southern family and
brought home and tamed. They were
very fond of the crow and treated li
with kindness. As in most houses
where there are children there was
also a pet cat. The cat and crow were
not friendl}'. One day an unusually
nice morsel was given to the eat. This |
the crow not only looked at with en-
vious eyes but made several attempts
to secure. The cat beat off each at-
tempt however and the crow had to
resort to stratagem. Disappearing
through the open door he returned in
a few moments with a long string that
had been raveled from a rag carpet.
Placing this on the floor some little dis-
tance in front of the cat. be proceeded
to wriggle it as be had seen the chil-
dren do when playing with the cat.
The cat instantly Jumped to catch the
string. This was of course exactly
what the crow wanted and be
pounced upon the coveted morsel and
flew away with it.—Harper's Weekly
A Stitch of Pain.
A stitch is a sharp spasmodic pain
in the muscles of the side like the
piercing of a needle and is very apt to
be produced if exercise is taken im-
mediately after a hearty meal. This
arises because the nervous energy nec-
essary for the proper working of the
muscles in exercise is engaged in an-
other direction—namely iu assisting
the digestion of the food. Anything
that interferes with the proper supply
of nervous energy required for exer
cise whether it be debility or the proc-
ess of digestion or exhaustion arising
from overexertion is apt to cause this
spasmodic pain.
Adam's Sister.
The palm tree has always been ven-
erated wherever it grows; in some
places it is worshiped. "Honor the
palm tree" says a Mohammedan writ-
er "for she is your father's aunt for
this tree was formed of the remainder
of the clay from which Adam was cre-
ated."

testimonial to be genuine.)
This child's recoverv was due to
the combined action of the medicin
al elements of the cod's livers-
aided by the blood making and
strength creating properties of tonic
iron which are contained in Vinol
—and the strongest evidence that

TEACH BOOSTING METHODS.
Conferences for Instructing A»|>lrlng
City Builders are to be Held In
Chica^i
If one Is interested In any subject
there is no excuse for his remaining
ignorant along such line for courses
are now offered upon nearly every
branch of human endeavor. Among
the latest and possibly the most uni-
que school to enter the field is one
devoted to municipal development
and commercial club activities
which is soon to be opened in Chi-
cago.
The school term is only three days
long the number of students for each
term is limited to ten. and there will
be b t twelve terms in a year. These
are only a few of the unique feat-
ures. There has been gathered from
every possible source. Information
on theories and methods in the work
of commercial associations in town*
and cities of all parts of the United <
States and of other countries Thlc
fluid of "boosting" knowledge has
been thoroughly classified and n
f.c'ence of municipal development
has been formulated which is ex-
nected to be very helpful in supple- !
menting the experience of commer- j
cial club secretaries and also in in- !
strutting officers and committee-
men who are rendering gratuitous
service to their associations. A very
nractical feature of the plan is the
opportunity for members of particu-
lar commercial clubs to monopolize
all the sessions of one term for the
consideration of the special prob-
lems of their communities. There
will be no set speeches by any pro-
fessors. but all the sessions will bf
devoted to informal discussion un
aer expert leaaersnip.
The director of this unique school
is to be Elir.er S. Batterson. an low
business man who several years ago
was forced to desert active mercan-
tile lines by the demands of his time
by commercial associations of the
Middle West. He has taken up the
study of Town Promotion as a fad
and city builders were anxious to se-
cure his services from such faddists.
Mr. Batterson is now the associate
editor of the Dry Goods Reporter
in Chicago but occasionally trains
commercial clubs to be more effi-
cient as a kind of recreation. This
latest experiment the announce-
ment of which has just been receiv-
ed is to be called the Chicago Con-
ferences on Municipal Development
it is being watched with consider-
able interest by prominent educa-
tors who ore wondering if the prac-
tical development of municipalities
is not a proper subject for university
courses.
