niE CITIZEN, AVKDNEHllAY, AUG. 21, 1010. ELECT CULL1NGS The Unlucky Man on Foot. In n few years iioroiilanes will bo ne common as automobiles nro now, aud It la obvious that tho man on foot will have little show. The auto scorcher will bo a liurmlras Individual as com pared with tho ppeed uianlnc overhead. A man who will take to ncroplaulng must bo natunilly reckless to begin with, and his recklessness will Increaso with each lllpht. Ills lxilers will hurst, and his engines will ily to pieces, and Uicre will le Bhowers of hardware, and big Iron castings will hit tho man on foot and knock him Into tho ground up to lils shoulder blades. Every time he walks around n block a fulling mon key wrench or claw hammer will dot him on the head and make him sick and weary. Another prospective evil Is the increase of insurance agents. There will Ik neroplane insurance, which will enable you to provide for your widow and children In case an aviator falls on you and squashes you. Insurance agents of various kinds up' so thick now thnt It is impossible to nvoid them, and any scheme that threatens to swell their ranks should be denounced by press and pulpit. Emporia Gnzette. valldlsm as Sandow Is of his muscles. Tho last time I bow Hnll Cnlne was in his bedroom In the Hotel Walton, in Philadelphia. Tho little thin man, with his domelike forehead and weak, wispy brown whiskers, looked more like Shakespearo than ever. "'Mr. Calne.' I said, 'I hope jmt'rc well? " 'Weill ho snarled. 'I'm far from well. I haven't slept, sir. for two weeks. " 'Then,' said I, 'you're ever so much better, for the last time I saw you you hadn't slept for n month.' " Batting Practice. Hugh S. Fullerton, writing on the subject of "Batting" in the American Magazine, says: "As in everything else, practice makes toward perfection, and battinc prnctieo now is indulged in by profes sional players to an extent not even Imagined by the followers of the game Major league players frequently spun! five hours a day batting and will io main and hit as long as they can find any one to pitch for them. Almost every club retains some broken down pitcher or some nsplrlng youngster od salary to pitch to tlie batters, who paj him by contributions to pitch to them And, strangely, they love their solid hits, even In practice. After the tlnal game of the series for the Chlcagn championship last fall, after playing about 175 games, Frank Shulie stopped to hit It Just once more." Ever So Much Better. Apropos of Hall Caluo's recent law suit a New York playwright said; "Hall Calne is always talking about his health, his ruined nerves, insoni nla, etc. He is as proud of hl In Ferocious Juveniles, Led by a ferocious chieftain, nged thirteen, a well organized baud of boy robbers has Just been captured by the ixillce at Sopron, Hungary. The band consisted of eleven lads, nged from eight to thirteen years, who had loft their parents for a life of adventure. They lived In n large cave nnd during the last thrc months have committed 123 robberies nnd one murder. In the cave booty to the value of $'J5.000 was found. The young chieftain, who shot and seriously wounded the policeman who was sent to arrest him, has been sentenced to ton years' eonllnomcnt In a reformatory. Wise and Appropriate. Jerome S. McWade, addressing n car load of Duluth slum children on the way to the country for a week, quoted Confucius pertinently. "My Grar children,' said tho million aire philanthropist, "you may wander amid the plenty of orchard aud gar den, but you must take nothing you must even make It clear that you are taking nothing. Komcmber, children, the wlso words of old Confucius: " 'Do not pull up thy stocking in a aielon field nor nrrauge thy hat be neath a pear tree lest people think that thou art stealing.' " Ho Chose Quickly. "Gerald." she said, facing him with, heightened color and putting her hands behind her. "you will have to choose between me and your old pipe." Not an Instant did Gerald hesitate. "The old pipe goes, dear." he said, throwing It uway. "I was thinking of buying a new one anyhow." Chicago Tribune. Her Fault. The teacher In charge of the primary . . !., .t t.. Yt'nof Tit. On.

Several times I hnvo had oc cnslon to reprove a little boy who Isn't bad. but who Is very mischievous an 1 annoying. He Is always getting Into trouble and making n disturbance. "Ono day he had been moro than usually uproarious, and I was very tired. Instead of scolding or punish lng him 1 began In rather an exasper ated tone to talk to him. " 'Tom.' I said. 'I'm afraid I'm never going to meet you In heaven.' "He looked up with tho most shock ed face. 'Why. teacher." lie said. 'Isn't that Just too bad? What have you done?' "Philadelphia Times. A Modest Request. An Impeccably dressed gentleman the other day when walking along Piccadilly felt n movement In his pocket and. clapping his hand thereto, seized the wrist of tho thief. He drew forth the erring member, and. looking at It with supreme disgust, he released It. saying, with a grimace of disgust, i "For heaven's sake, my good man, go 1 and wash your hands before you put ' them In n gentleman's pocket again!" J Loudon Tatler. I Heady For the Next One. A generous and brave but very ec centric Virginia planter named Hill Carter, who bad once been an offlccr In tho United States navy, bad a hand to band battle at (IstteufTs one day with his plantation overseer and came off second best. Ho therefore chal lenged the overseer to a formal duel, but tho latter declined on tho ground that, being a husband and father, bu was under obligation not to risk leav ing his family destitute. Carter at once removed that objection by set- l tllng upon the family a comfortable anuulty. Thou everything was got ready for the light, but just ns tho two men faced eoch other the sheriff arrived on the scene, took them Into custody and had them bound over to keep tho peace. Mr. Carter did n . however, change tho deed of gift with I which ho had provided for tho over i seer's family, remarking that he might wish some time to resume tho Inter rupted tight and hence would rather keep everything in readiness for prompt action. New York Post. Made Him Feel Old. "What's the matter?" "Oh, nothing much." "Hut you look ns If you had some thing serious on your mind." "Well, If you Insist on knowing, n boy who was named after me has Just become engaged to be married. How time flies!" Chicago Kecord-nerald. The Dollar Mark. "Have you seen the Washington mon ument?" "Yes." replied the Now Yorker. "It's a pretty tall building, but what's tho good of it without any oflices for rent?" Washington Star. Economy. Husband Excuse me. dear, but don't you cook much more for dinner than wo can use? Wife Of course! If 1 didn't how could I economize by utiliz ing leftover dishes? Cleveland Leader. Look Up. We dig aud toll, wo worry and fret, and all the while close over us bends the Infinite wonder and beauty of na ture, saying: "Look up. my child! Feel my smile aud be glad!" G. S. Mer-rlnro Not New. "Electricity isn't a modern discov ery. It is as old as the flood." "How do you make that out?" "Why. didn't Noah have to have ark lights?" Better n blush In the faco than a blot in the heart. Cervantes. Consul King David. This amusing anecdote of Latnartlne Is related by the Baroness Botide In her volume of letters. Shortly after tho revolution of February he wrote on the blank leaves of his poeketbook tho names of his proteges and sent the list to bo provided with places Imme diately. Previously, however. It seeius, ho had scribbled "David" on the page, and the head of the cabinet appointed the said David consul at Bremen. The postulant, however, never came for ward, and, though tho poot did not like being disturbed. M. Hetzel was oblig ed to nsk who was tho David on his list. "no who danced before the ark," was tho answer. "Oh. dear! I have gazetted hlui to Bremen!" "now very singular! 1 meant him for a iUb. ''t for meditation, not for non-inatloi.. But you can cancel It." The monl lr registered the change, but few kn w that the last consul ap pointed to remen was King David! The Turkish Soldier's Fatalism. The lethargy of mind which Is the mental habit of tho Turkish soldier the personal expression of fatalism Is a most valuable quality In its way, for It means that Its possessor Is always cool and collected, grumbles llttlo nnd has marvelous endurance. It Is alien to all forms of panic, Just as It Is alien to a conspicuous elan. If tho Turkish soldier never goes very fast, ho never goes very slow. Except by tho best trained or most dashing troops ho Is bad to beat.-Loudon Spectator. The sun and the tartn. The diameter of the sun Is 865.000 miles. It would take 300,000 bo1lej like tho earth to weigh ns much as tho sun. It has been calculated that tho earth utilizes only the 2,000,000, 000th part of tho hoat thnt Is thrown off by the sun.
