HIS LOVE FOR HIS DEAD.
Ha Mad* It a Power ta Gladden Sam*
of th* Needy Living.
A little old man came into tbe office
of tbe Chicago hilarities tbe other dav
and laid down $1o<). "to help out sump
needy families." Then he told them a
story:
"Years ago. when uII of my folks
were living, I couldn't afford to give
presents. Things are different now
bu|. most of m.v folks have gone. 1
went shopping. Just as if my folks
were alive. I picked out a shawl to'
an aunt of mine. She's dead and so
I didn't buy it, but I put down the
amount of money I would have spent
Then I went and got somethings for
my dead brother and for my father
and mother and for a few old friends
of mine. I didn't really get them, you
know, but X priced the things I thought
they would like. When I added tip ad
the money I would have spent it came
to almost $150. so I addetl a little to it.
and here It Is.”
lias any one heard of a finer, more
beautiful way of showing a mans
love for his dead? The things he had
wanted to do it was too late to do now.
He might. It is true, have spent money
on stone to make more artificial and
melancholy the quiet hillside where
"his folks" rest He found .a better
way to spend his affection, to remem
ber in fancy those be could no longer
reach and then to see that his loving
memory of them went to make others
happier. He made his love for his
dead a |K>wer to gladden tbe living.
He lnid tribute on grief Hiid made it a
blessing. It is not a sad story. We
need not pity him. But we cannot help
loving him.—Milwaukee Journal.
SHELL SHOCK IN BATTLE.
A Curious Fact That Only Unwounded
Men Suffar From It.
By i lie methods of modern war no
inconsiderable proportion of battlefield
casualties are due to shell shock—a
new terror of battle and one that was
unknown before tlie advent of later
day high explosives.
It is a curious fact that only ,un
wounded men suffer from shell shock.
Eminent surgeons say that a wound
neutralizes the psychic sense—in plain
English that nerves do not affect a
wounded man in the same way as an
unwounded one.
For shell shock is nothing more or
less than a nervous breakdown—a ter
ribly intensive breakdown that physi
cians find most difficult to cure. It is
entirely a mental cause, and though it
is called shell shock it has very little
to do with shells.
■* There arc men, brave men, too. who
find the strain of war too great for
their mental stamina. They see terri
ble sights and hear terriblujhings. and
these react upon them temperamcntnll>
and physically, tiradnally. perhaps un
consciously, their ability to resist is
overborne. Their mental power is ex
hausted. They become afraid—dread
fully, terribly afraid—and the end is
only a matter of time.
A certain cure has yet to bo found,
though severe* electrical treatment has
had some effect.—London Answers.
Where the Laborer Is King.
Tin1 day laborer'. as opposed to lilt
employer and to other workers, is king
in Australia. The unions, through the
labor painty, practically control the ex
ecutive, legislative and judicial ma
chinery of the cities, the states ami
the commonwealth. Forty-eight hours
is tlie recognized maximum for a
week's work, hut in certain occupations
forty-four, forty-two, forty, and ev< u
thirty-six hours are considered full
time. Some of the larger building
trades have a forty-four hour week,
and it is probable that this figure will
become the recognized standard for all
labor. Of the “four sacred eights’’ in
the original slogan—“eight hours’work,
eight hours’ play, eight hours' rest and
eight hob a day”—only the portion re
lating to rest lias been retained.
Parentheses and Brackets.
Know all writers, compositors and
proofreaders by these presents: Marks
of parentheses (which are frequently
required) are not to be confounded
with brackets [“lleur. liesir!"J. which
serve a different purpose. The use of
one for the other [vide almost any
newspaper page) is extremely sloppy
(if yon know what we meant anil ex
hibits lack of familiarity with or in
difference to the technique of writing.

Milk a Pain Killer.
“Everybody should know that milk
is an excellent pain killer," says Farm
and Fireside, “first, because it gives
almost immediate relief and. second,
because milk or cream is nearly al
ways available. If a person should get
tar in the eyes, put in a few drops of
milk., or cream. It will also afford
great relief if cement or a gnat should
get in t lie eyes.”
..■■■’*'
Hens and Water.
From the lien’s viewpoint, water is
worth just as much as feed, for she
can’t make an egg with either one \
alone. Therefore the man who pro
vides high priced feed, but neglects the
water supply, is making a big mistake I
and will have to be content with a lim- |
ited egg yield.
That’s Different.
'TThat's the matter with me, doctor?”
“You have a stitch in the back.”
“Dear me. that Is prosaic. 1 can’t tell ^
my stylish friends. They would laugh
at me."
“This Is one of the fashionable new
stitches.”—Pittsburgh Fost.
