Do you peter? Answer it for your-
self. Are you in flannel underclothes
class or with the family jars. Are you
getting discouraged because you will
not work, or do you not know the
right way?If the first is the reason
we cannot do anything for you, but if
the latter is the reason, we ask you
to call at the store at the very earli-
est possible date and let’s talk the
matter over. There are so many ways,
easy ways, that you can add to your
standing in the contest, and we are a-
fraid that you are not taking advan-
tage of all of them.
Read this over again and then let it
soak in from the outside, and you may
yet solve the problem of why you are
inclined to peter out.

Billiard Tables Rest on Rock.
Billiard tables, supported on solid
rock are among the novel features of
a 36-room concrete residence located
on one of the islands of the San Juan
archipelago in Puget sound. Each ta-
ble rests on a massive concrete base
which extends through an opening in
the floor and has its footing on bed-
rock, and is therefore as solid and as
free from vibration as if it were a
part of the island itself.—Popular Me-
chanics.
The Romanoffs.
The founder of the Russian royal
house, known as the “Romanoffs,”
was Michael Feodorovitch, who was
elected czar in 1618 at the age of six-
teen. It is claimed that Michael, the
founder of the strong, autocratic rule
{n Russia, was forced by the duma
that elected him to take a constitu-
tional oath—a formula that was but
lightly regarded.
Household Hint From Father.
(You could write your name on the
table, it was that dusty.) “Suppose,”
said father, peering over his glasses
(eye glasses) at his industrious rag-
playing daughter, “I say, suppose you
stop hammering on the ‘Mendelssohn
Rag’ for a while, and practice with
the dust-rag an hour or two. I think
mother would be pleased.”
Not Really “Sentinels.”
All animals, whether quadrupeds
or birds, that feed in herds are said
to place sentries on the outskirts of
their party. It is, however, obvious
that wherever there is a collection of
animals feeding or lying down there
will be members of the group at the
corners who, by their very position,
become “sentinels.”

brought in the District supreme court
by C. Mason Griffin.
A member of a theatrical company
is alleged to have forced her os-

claims in his bill that the act caused
him “great mental pain and anguish”
and made him a subject of ridicule.
Mr. Griffin avers that during one of
the acts ‘‘certain ladies, whose names
are unknown to the plaintiff,” left the
stage and passed down the aisles and
that one of them ‘did assault the
plaintiff with intent to kiss plaintiff.

the said young lady away, that said |
