HALF LOVE ONLY
HINDERS AMBITION
"Does love help or hinder an am
bitious man?"
Jeanette asked me that question aft
er telling me that Jimmie had come
home In a rather depressed state of
mind, because Tom Jenkins had con
fided to him that since his marriage
to Daisy he had been unable to pursue
the ambition of his life —to become a
successful stock broker.
It seems Daisy is Jealous of Tom's
business. She complains whenever
business takes him away from her for
an evening or keeps him downtown
late, and rather th«n have a scene
when he reaches home, Tom tells pros
pective customers that it is Impossi
ble for him to see them after 4 o'clock,
or to call upon them in the evening.
So dear little Jeanette is worried for
fear Jimmie will think his love for
him a hindrance to his ambition.
"Jeanette, dear," I said, "you have
no cause to worry, even if Jimmie is
grumpy. It depends largely upon the
love and the lover whether love will
be a help or hindrance In life.
"Just because some grouchy old
codger has said that 'love slays ambi
tion' Is no reason to believe it, and.
close observation shows it to be a pret
ty poor ambition that ever suffers ex
tinction."
"But Cousin Daisy wants Tom to
take a position in a bank, where ha
will have regular hours, and she can
always look for him to be home short
ly after 3 In the afternoon. Couldn't
he be ambitious in a bank as well as
Belling stocks and bonds?"
"Surely he may, my dear," I an
ewered. "Love may transform the
goal aspired to. It may even change
a man's aims; but the man who is
truly ambitious to make a name for
himself, like Jimmie, will assuredly
be more ambltiious, not less, because
his successes will bring happiness to
you, whom he loves, as well as to him
self."
"Then why should Tom not be satis
fied to do as Daisy wishes?"
"The fault, my dear Jeanette, lies
with Daisy, not with Tom's love or
her love. It is always so when the
so-called 'love' hampers rather than
helps a man to rise In the world. It
Is not 'love,' dear child, but selfish
ness pure and simple. Selfishness and
Jealousy can wreck any man's am
bitions If allowed to interfere with
them."
"Do you think Daisy Is selfish and
jealous of Tom's ambition? Isn't it
because she loves him so dearly that
makes her want him with her every
minute he can be there?"
"Jeanette, you love Jimmie, do you
not?"
"Why, of course, cousin, I —"
"That's what I thought. Well,
would you put your own social pleas
ures before Jimmie's work?"
"No."
"Would you be angry if he were de
tained a little late at the office, es
pecially If you had planned an early
dinner so you could go out in the
evening?"
"N-no —no. I should be sure Jim
mie would get home as early as he
possibly could under such clrctim
etances."
"Are you interested in your hus
band's business?"
"Of course I am—you know that.
He always talks things over with me
when he has any Interesting news or
problems to decide."
"Very well, then. That is as It
should be. You need have no fear,
and neither need Jimmie, that your
love will ever hinder him in his ad
vancement. It is only the self-cen
tered, foolish, selfish woman who
will In any way interfere with her
husband's ambition. Hers is not
'love,' but rather selfish greed for all
her husband's time and all ofliis mon
ey, too, forgetting that to make the
money necessary to satisfy her-wants
he must spend many hours outside
those prescribed by banking houses as
'business hours.'
"Remember, my dear child, that if
Daisy loved Tom more truly his de
sires and ambitions would become so
wholly hers that she would naturally
be a help to him.
"It is only the half lovers and the
self-lovers that ever hinder a hus
band's ambitions. Now run along
home and tell Jimmie what I have said
to you and see if he doesn't agree with
me."
Cotton Duck for Motor Tires.
One million yards of high grade
duck, to be made from sea island
and Egyptian cotton, has recently
been sold by a Georgia cotton mill to
a manufacturer of automobile tires.
The quality of this material Is of
the highest grade, used only in the
larger tires, the lower grade of goods
being available for the smaller tires.
One million yards of cotton duck, one
yard wide, is a pretty big order togo
from one mill to one tire manufac
turer.
It Illustrates, however, the ever
broadening market for cotton and the
reason why a big cotton crop has been
so promptly absorbed. Every year
sees new uses for the south's cotton.
Not only Is It being used in the manu
facture of tires, It Is likewise used in
the manufacture of automobile tops,
and tho wider the use of automobiles
the greater will be the demand for
cotton. —Manufacturers' Hecord.

DETERMINE SEX OF A GOOSE
One Good Way Is to Notice Difference
In Voices —Mating Season Is
Usually in Fall.
In answer to a query as to method
or rule for determining the sex of geese,
an exchange makes the following re
ply:
There are no marks by which one
can tell the gander from the goose.
The only ways are to watch the ac-
of the birds and to notice the
differences in their voices. The gan
der has what is popularly called a
tenor voice. It Is possible that all four
of your birds may be geese. If so,
_
Toulouse Goose.
you will be unfortunate in attempts
to raise any goslings even if you do se
cure ganders. This is because the ;
mating season Is In the fall, usually j
in September or October, and also be- j
cause geese very much dislike to have
their quarters changed when once ac- i
customed to them. For this reason peo
ple who wish to secure birds for breed
ing purposes make their purchases in
the fall so the fowls will get accus
tomed to their new surroundings
Doubtless nests will be made and the
eggs laid, but the eggs may not hatch.
If you are forced to buy a gander this
spring, it will perhaps be advisable
for you to purchase some good eggs
of the same breed as you keep, and
use these rather than the eggs from
your own flock, or at least mark the
eggs so that you can distinguish the
purchased ones from those laid by
your own birds. In this way you
should not be wholly disappointed.
GIVING CHARCOAL TO FOWLS
Puts Them in Good Condition for
Work and Prevents Many Diseases
Incidental to Season.
Does the average farmer know that
an excellent grade of charcoal can
be made by burning corn cobs till
they turn red, extinguishing the fire
and when dry grinding for mash
feeding for the poultry.
Charcoal is not a food, though
fowls gain in flesh and during
its use; it simply puts them and
keeps them in a j?ood condition for
work. It prevents disease because of
its great capacity to absorb gases,
acids and impurities. It is an alter
ative, changing diseased conditions
to normal, disinfecting the diges
tive tract and toning up the system.
In putrid disease like rouii, in fer
mentation like sour crop, in intesti
nal maladies like diarrhea or cholera,
it is of great benefit. In spring and
in summer, when the fowl's blood is
sluggish it is needed as a purifier to
ward off diseases incidental to these
seasons.
It should be kept before fowls in
size to suit their age, and where fowls
refuse to eat it fine charcoal should
be mixed in the mash occasionally. It
is best given to individual birds in
five-grain capsules—large doses are
necessary.

BONES OF ANCIENT GIANT
Amazing Discovery In Oregon la of
Great Interest to Anthro
pologists.
The discovery of the bones of a hu
man giant at Ellenshurg is one of the
most interesting anthropological finds
made In the northwest., according to
L. L. Sharp, chief of the general land
office. "I Just returned from Eilens-
Liurg," buid he, "where I had opportu
nity to view the bones unearthed. The
skull, jawbone, thigh and other parts
of the largest skeleton indicated a
man to my mind of at least eight feet
high. A man of his stature and massive
frame would weigh fully 300 pounds
at least. The head is one of the most
remarkable I ever have studied among
prehistoric skulls. It is massive, with
enormous brain space. While the fore
head slopes down somewhat, not av
eraging the abrupt eminence of our
present race, the width between the
ears and the deep, well-rounded space
at the back of the head are convinc
ing testimony of high intelligence for
a primitive man. The cheekbones
are not high, like those of the In
dian, nor has the head any resem
blance to the Indian skull. lam con
vinced that this skull is of a prehis
toric man who was one of a remark
able race of people who inhabited this
part of America some time prior to
the Indian control.
"The bones were uncovered fully 20
feet beneath the surface. There is
the usual gravel formation on top,
then the conglomerate, a stratum of
shale, and in a bed of concrete gravel
beneath the shale were the bones of
ihe giant and of a smaller person.
The shale would indicate tremendous
age, perhaps more than 1,000,000
years, for the deposit in which the
skeleton was found. But this I deem
impossiblep, and presume that the
bones were put beneath the shale by
means of a tunnel perhaps, or some
other system of interment. I cannot
think it possible that a human being
of the advanced stage indicated by
this great skull could have existed at
the period when the shale was
formed." —Portland (Ore.) Telegram.
FEASTING KINGS AND QUEENS
Parisians Find That Their Hospitality
Has Cost Many Millions
of Dollars.
It is learned from an official report
just filed What it costs to entertain
kings and queens. The expression
"treated royally" will now have a defi
nite meaning for Parisians.
Figures show that it cost this city
something more than three million
dollars to be host for the Czar of Rus
sia on his memorable visit which
marked the French-Russian alliance,
but only $58,000 was spent to give the
king of Sweden a good time while In
Paris.
Three tim£s that amount was dis
bursed to entertain King Alfonso on
Ihe visit when an anarchist threw a
bomb at him.
The king of Portugal was compara
tively a cheap guest, costing only
about $40,000.
On the king of Norway $65,000 was
expended, on the king of Italy $05,000
aiid on the late king of Denmark $60,-
000.
Left Her Money to Bellboys.
It is going to be pretty difficult to
get many of the bellboys of the hotels
togo on strike if folks keep on dying
and leaving them fortunes, just be
cause they were prompt with the ice
water.
The latest Instance of the kind
came to light last month, when the
w ill of Hannh Dwight Green was of
fered for probate in Albany, N. Y., and
it was found that she had left all her
estate save some personal effects and
jewelry to three bellboys.
These boys were Edwin J. Greene
wood, of Littleton, N. H.; George
Hadenburg of Providence, and Frank
Donegan of Boston, who were em
ployed in the hotels where Mrs.
Greene stopped. There is to be di
vided among them the proceeds of 12
shares of New York and New Haven
stock, 10 shares of T T nited Steel pre
ferred, and a promissory note for $3,-
4SI. —Steward.
A Distinct Vernacular.
The baseball reporter's English is
weird and wonderful, and apropos of
it there is a story about the groat Ty
Cobb.
In a New York hotel two college
professors watched Ty Cobb bent over
a newspaper.
"Look at the poor fellow's frowns
and mutterings," said the first profes
sor, "with that journal."
"Yes," said the other, "he can't
make it out, you know."
"Can't make it out. eh? Can't even
read! I knew they were an unedu
cated lot."
"Oh," said the other, "Ty's educated
all right enough, but that's the base
ball page he's got there."
Singularly Alike.
The two Clevelanders on the back
seat were talking literature.
"I'm reading Ruskin all over again,"
3atd one. "It's meaty stuff after eo
much modern frivol."
"Ruskin," said the other man, "al
ways reminds me of Artemus Ward."
"What's that? Arteinus Ward? Im
possible!"
"Not at all. The titles of Ruskln's
bocks and Ward's lectures never huve
anything to do with the contents."
Inexpensive Job.
"Do you st*? that man? Only yester
jay he cleaned out a bank."
"Why didn't they arrwst htm?"
"What for? He'w a vary couacien
> tlous janitor."
Demand Greater Than Supply.
Coquoito nuts (little cocoanuts) are
found in abundance in Mexico, but the
entire amount gathered is taken by
the local soap factories, the mana
gers of which are constantly com
plaining that they cannot procure suf
ficient raw material from this neigh
borhood for their needs. This condi
tion is due to the lack of interest on
the part of the natives and to some
extent, no doubt, to the difficulty ex
perienced in extracting the meat.
Keeping Water Cold.
If you are in the habit of taking a
pitcher of iced water to your room on
retiring, try this: Procure a square
pasteboard box (with lid), sufficiently
large to hold'your pitcher, and give it
two or three coats of varnish on the
outside, allowing each coat to dry
thoroughly. Place your pitcher of wa
ter in this box on retiring, putting the
lid on tightly, and you are sure of
having cold drinking water any hour
of the night.
Smallest Book in the World.
The smallest book in the world is in
the library of congress, always under
lock and key. It is a copy of the Ru
baiyat of Omar Khayyam. The tiny
volume was made by Nathan Dale of
Cleveland, O. It was photographed,
each page separately. Four books of
the same size would just cover a post
age stamp. Three hundred of them
•would weigh s. seur"*
