AT THE GOLF CLUB PHONE
Line of Talk Handed Out Would Bring
Blush to the Cheek of Old
Ananias.
“This you, dearie?”
“How’s everything?
right?”
“That’s good. What?”
“No, I'm still at the golf club; just
finished 18 holes, Dearie—"
“That’s why I called you up? Some

“Now, dearie, listen. They want

“Just a minute, dearie. I know I
promised I'd come home for dinner
and spend the afternoon with you, but
three of the men here want me to
stay over and play a foursome this
1
i
afternoon with them. It will probably |
be the last chance I'll have to play |
with them this year.”
“But that won’t matter. We can go
there any Sunday afternoon during
the winter. You know we didn't
promise definitely to call on them to-
day.”
“Now, dearie—"
“I know I did, and if you insist
rin—
“Of course I don’t want to spoil any
arrangements you have made for the
afternoon and evening, but so long as
you have nothing special that must
. be done, I thought you wouldn't mind
just this once if I stayed—"
“Yes, indeed I will. I'll get the-
ater tickets for tomorrow night. Oh,
yes, I'll be home early, dear, I know
that. I'm sorry. I wouldn’t stay if
it weren't for the other fellows; it
will break up their game if I don't.
Remember, tomorrow night we go to
the theater.”
And behind him all the time is a
{ine of anywhere from five to fourteen
golfers waiting to spring the same
line of soft talk on their wives. The
telephone girl who looks after a golf
club’s services on Sunday noons hears
a fine line of domestic bunk.—Detroit

"REAL MEANING OF FINESSE
Possibly Here Are Ideas Which May
Not Have Been Brought to Your
. Mind Before.
Finesse is one of those wonderful
French words which seems to mean
so much and yet, when one hunts
them right down to their fundamen-
tal essence, turn out to mean really
nothing so very much at all.
The word finesse as originally in-
troduced into this country meant the
maneuver in whist, by which you take
a trick from your opponents with a
card lower than your highest—a card
inferior, also, to one possessed by
your opponents.
Speaking generally, without chasing
the word too near its lair, finesse
means the art of doing things niftily
—1I find it necessary to refer constant-
ly to American slang in order to get
the best definition for subtle French
expressions.
Now there is, sisters and brethren,
an old saying which saith that it isn’t
so much what you do as how you do
it. The thing has a tang of the South
about it, and I suspect that it really
isn’t much older than the Louisiana
purchase; but, be that as it may, to
lift an expression from the newspa-
| per editorial writers, finesse has to
{
do with how you do things.—George
Vaux Bacon in the Green Book Maga-
zine.
MANNERS OF AMERICAN MAN
Set Them Apart From Others, ‘But |
Manifestly They Have Their
Advantages.
Always be master of yourself; never
betray any irritation, or disappoint-
ment, or any other weakness; never
slop over; never give yourself away;
never make yourself ridiculous—
what American would not admit that
these are foremost among the rules
by which he would like to reguiatic
his conduct, asks a writer in the At-
lantic Magazine. It can hardly be do-
nied that this habitual self-mastery,
this habitual control over one’s emo-
tions, is one of the chief reasons why
so much of American life is so uninter- |
It reduces ’
esting and monotonous.
the number of opportunities for intel
lectual friction, it suppresses the |
manifestation of streng individuality
often it impoverishes the inner life it-
self. But, on the other hand, it has
. given to the American that sureness
i of motive,
whipped the bay into foamy white- :
cars abates sufficiently a trim little
schooner, Adelia T. Carleton, will slip
her mooring at pier 11, North river,
and set her head for the coast of
Liberia, reports the New York Sun.
Laden down to her gun’les with
that healthiness of ap-
petite, that boyish frolicsomeness,
that purity of sex instincts, that quick-
ness and litheness of manners, which
distinguishes him from most Euro-
peans; it has given to him all those
qualities which insure success and
' make their possessor a welcome mem-
trinkets, including bracelets of brass
and glass diamonds as big as the
Kolrinoor, the sturdy
little three- |
master will proceed down old Butter- :
milk channel on what is probably the
first expedition of its kind that has
left these paris in some time. Aboard
the craft will be Capt. D. S. Kent,
Mate F. E. Lawry, Mrs. Lawry and
eight seamen.
The idea of the voyage of the Adelia !
T. Carleton, which is being backed by |
several New Yorkers who form the |
American Tropical Trading company,
is to descend on the Liberian coast,
barter with the natives, exchanging
the attractive glass diamond cargo
for the ivory, teak, and ebony, and re-
_ the little schooner groaning under the
weight of riches. Incidentally the
cannibals along the ivory coast, if
there are any now, will get a chance |
to see their first movie show.
Skipper Kent says that the round
trip voyage will take about four
months. He expects to reach Liberia
in 25 days with fair weather and
free winds.
His Only Promise.
A promise to his wife to stay at
home more at night and to prepare
for the next world was the only
pledge made by Max M. Hunberry, de-
feated candidate for congress from
the First Kentucky district.
Hunberry’s report filed recently in
Washington showed he neither re-
ceived nor spent a cent.
“The only promise I made to any
human being during the whole of
my campaign,” read the affidavit, “was
to my wife. I did promise her I would
be with her at least as much or more
after the election than I had prior
thereto, and I did give her a little
friendly advice, which was this: That
we both pray earnestly to get to
heaven, as there was absolutely no
ington.”—Utica Globe.
Activities of Women.
Minimum wage laws for women
have been enacted in Oregon, Cali-
fornia, Colorado, Massachusetts, Min-
nesota, Nebraska, Utah, Washington
and Wisconsin.
If women do not get the vote before
her death, Mrs. Margaret Stockman
of London, is so framing her will that
her son will be disinherited.
Bertha Krupp, head of the Krupp
Gun works at Essen, Germany, has an
income of over $11,000,000 a year.
Miss Elsie Burr, a well-known Bos-
ton society girl, has gone to Paris,
where she will act as a Red Cross
aurse.
There are over forty thousand wom-
an teachers in the Japanese elemen-
tary schools at a salary of eight dol-
lars per month.

Where the Real Home ls.
The family life has not diappeared
in this country. The home and family,
the evening worship, the love and aec-
cord of each member of the home cir-
cle, depends not on the open fireplace,
the hot air register or the steam radia-
tor.
make the home, in the wisdom of the
father and the mother and the raising
of the children. I can take you to
real homes in Missouri today, real
| family circles where every room in
. the house is used every day and where
; the home would be perfect if the
. house were a cabin.
And always
y . when you find this home you fing
turn to this countrv with the hold of |
that every member of the family is
busy, has tasks to dispose of every
day and has a pride in the work be-
ing done. There are no homes where
the family is an idle one and where
the servants rule the house. The
{ home is not in the open fireplace, my
good friend; it is in the hearts of the
home makers.
Aluminum in India.
India offers a great field for futura
| supplies of aluminum. There are great
deposits of laterite and beauxite from
which aluminum is derived. Tt is said
that the Indian product could be placed
on the market at a figure but tittle
more than half that of the present
quotation. The use of this metal 13
handicapped by the cost at present,
and if the metal could be secured at a
tower cost its field of usefulness would
be greatly expanded. There are many
comparatively accessible points where
factories for the extraction of alumi-
num could be located.
No Rule of Reason There.
Speaking of the rule of reason being
read into the law, a lawyer recalled a
| famous case the other day in which
danger of us having to go to Wash- |
the rule of reason had been read out
of an agreement.
An ancient conqueror captured an
enemy’s fleet. When peace terms were
| arranged one of the terms was that
half the ships of the fleet should be
returned to the conquered country.
The conqueror kept faith literally, but
without “the rule of reason.” He had
each ship, a war galley, cut in two,
and sent back to the enemy one-haif
of each.
Deadly Shrapnel.
The murderous effect of shrapnel is
enhanced by the fact that not only are
the bullets contained in the sheil
driven with terrific force in the desired
direction, but the steel case itzeif is
broken into small pieces by the burst-
ing charge. While the bullets inflict
clean, circular injuries, the jagged
pieces of metal of the pulverized case
tear gaping wounds. At the same
time it is capable of wreaking wide-
spread destruction on buildings, be-
cause the shell explodes with great
fury.

FEEL LURE OF THE LIZARD
Many Ships Sight and Pass the Fa
mous British Headland
Daily.
“If the Lizard (Lizard point, Ccrn-
wall, England) could see as one half
believes it can, from that one piercing
eye, Cyclops-like, in its forehead, what
sights it could report—Phenician and
Roman galleys; the ships of Hawkins,
Drake, Frobisher and Raleigh; the
Mayflower after its final release from
detention at Southampton, Dartmouth
and Plymouth; the broken winged ar
mada; and the Titanic on that first
voyage, ro confidently and cheerfully
begun, which ending in the unforeseen
ice, was also its last,” William H. Ride
ing writes in Scribner’s.
“All the ships of the famous lines
between American and English and
European ports come within a mile or
two of it, eastbound and westbound,
those of the North German Lloyd, the
Atlantic Transport, the White Star
and the Red Star, the Canadian branch
of the Cunard, the Holland-America,
the Hamburg-American and the Ameri-
can, most of them making their pas-
sage so punctually that you know fo
an hour when to look for them.
“Just beyond the light is Lloyd's
| signal station, and close to that a Mar-
| coni station, subsidiary to the most
powerful of all, that at Poldu to the
| west, where the swish, sparkle and
crackle of the four high latticed tow-
| ers can be heard at a distance of a
: mile.
“Man’s ingenuity and benevolence
| have turned the dreaded headland
from a menace into a dispensary of
| safeguards. During fogs two horns,
each with a mouth six feet in diam-
| eter, blare across the cloaked channel,
‘and a submarine bell at the foot of
| the cliffs tolls its number within a
range of sixteen miles to every listen-
ing vessel provided with a receiver.
Both light and sound have vagaries in |
fogs, however. If we can believe the
masters of ships which have come to
grief on and near Lizard, there are |
times when the 15,000,000 candlepower
of the lighthouse is invisible, and the |
bellowing of those enormous trumpets
inaudible.”

With such assistance you can easily

A bad back makes you gloomy.

The aches and pains of a bad back
are frequently due to weak kid-
neys.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are recom-
mended for weak kidneys.
So Belietonte citizens testify.
Mrs. Sara Miller, 210 E. Howard
St., Bellefonte, says: ‘The first 1
noticed my kidneys were weak was
when I began to have headaches and
dizzy spells and spets floated before
my eyes. 1 also Lad pains in my
back and a duli ache across my loins.
I couldn't do any lifting and if I sat
down, I could hardly get up without
help. 1 also had rheumatic twinges.
After 1 had taken two boxes of
Doan’s Kidney Pills, the rheumatic
pains disappeared and I was relieved
of the other troubles. I have had
very little trouble since.”
