The senator was somewhat peeved, yet the matter was one of no great consequence, as his friend pointed out. It seems that a constituent from the back districts had written the states man a letter in which said writer al luded to said statesman as a “lawn maker.” The senator averred that If a Joke was intended it was a poor one. But his friend maintained that no joke was Intended. “Your constituent probably wants some free seed; that’s all.” FRECKLE Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These Ugly Spots There’s no longer the slightest need of feeling ashamed of your freckles, as Othine '—double strength—is guaranteed to remove these homely spots.

The Hofrnan family, of Holland, who are on a walk that will eventually take them all around the world, caused quite a stir in London when they appeared on the streets there in their quaint native dress. j Number One, Great Street V-r , -TT-,T_.,-,T-...r.,,rT-T-a From the London Times. Readers of the lives of famous men cah scarcely have failed to remarb, with something akin to wonder, the extraordinary emphasis which is laid by biographers upon the places in w'hich their heroes were born. Sometimes, It is true, there is peculiar significance in the accident of locality, the child having lived many years in his native place and having been subjected there to powerful influences of environment which have affected the course ef his later life. More often, however, no such special influence is to be traced, nor does the biographer make any claim to have discovered it. He Is, never theless, careful of his detail, or profoundly apologetic if, for lack of authentlo record, detail W necessarily absent. "The child was born,” he says as if in accuracy in this matter would destroy the fabric of his biography, "at 25 minutes past two In the morning of the 10th of June of that year, in tkM front room on the second floor of Number One, Great street.” Or he may be forced to give no more than an assurance of his exhaustive but fruitless researches, adding that expert opinion is divided into two camps, one favouring the front room and the other the back, but that, for his own part, he is unable to set the stamp of authenticity upon either of the rival apartments. "However that may be,” he continues with an air of sadness in leaving unsettled so stormy a controversy, "however that may be, the child thing has its place and nothing receives undue emphasis, leaving his reader, though admiring this thirst for accuracy, to wonder nevertheless what all the pother was about. Yet the biographers are right, for, whether the desire be reasonable or not, the world loves to know with precision where its heroes were born. No one cares greatly in which heaven the poet saw his skylark, or on what cliff, glancing seawafd by chance, the explorer’s imagination sprang ta its vision of his famous voyage. The stages of their progress through the world are marked by few; their manner of entering and leaving it are remembered by many. Th villagers of Predapion, who purchased by public subscription and presented to Signor Mussolini the poor cottage in which he was born, gave expression by their act to a universal sentiment which is justification of the biogaphers. A birthplace has in men’s minds an Importance that depends scarcely at all upon its historical significance. Perhaps because it suggests a help lessness in sharp contrast to future greatness, perhaps because thought loves to dwell upon fortune’s first hazard, perhaps for no other reason than that by remembrance of his childhood intimacy is restored with one whose fame has made him seem remote from common men, a birthplace has power to strike at the world’s imagination. The front room or the back appears as the setting of a drama, and Number One, Great street, as the fit destination of many a pilgrimage. A scientist declares that preventive medicine, within BO years will add 14 years to the average American life, raising that average from 55 to 69. Do you realize how that would in crease wealth and efficiency? For a man taught and trained, the years from 5B to 69 should be life’s best years. Adding 14 life years to the average would add 1,400,000.000 years of ma ture human effort to every genera tion. What would that be worth to the nation? What would it be worth to a railroad if it could add 14 years to the working life of every locomo tive? The Wall Street Journal analyzing Henry Ford's business puts his net profit on each car at $55. On his present output 6,000 cars per day, that would be $99,000,000 profit in a year of 300 working days. Add $19, 000,000 annual profit on parts, plus $15,000,000 profit from other sources, and you see that Mr. Ford is unusu ally well fixed. The moral is: “To beat your competitors, give vaTue.” Orthodoxy is your doxy. The Turks at Lausanne refused to take a recess on Wednesday, Ascen sion day. They believe on a certain day Mohammed, mounted on his white steed Alberak, rose up to Heaven from the Holy Stone now at Mecca. They would favor honoring that day. Poor heathen, they are un able to distinguish between the true religion and the false. * , Fires cost this country every year $500,000,000 and 150,000 lives.

Extortionate rates make the com panies indifferent to fires. Insurance should be government business and there should be no in surance for fire traps in which fam ilies are housed. Refuse insurance tnd owners will take precautions. Man’s eest friend, tb» noble dog, makes a mistake sometimes. Harry Murch, aged 16, saw a faithful dog keeping watch, apparently, near a dead dog's body. Interested, th6 youth drew near, and the live dog bit him in the leg, thinking he meant to steal the dead dog. The attitude of animals toward death, In their own tribe differs greatly. A live horse has intense fear of a dead horse. A live i chicken treats its dead comrade as 1 though It were alive, clucks cheer fully notices no change. Man’s atti tude toward death in his tribe also i varies. Some enjoy funerals, some fear them, all share to some extent ' the horse's dread of a body, with its life gone. An able doctor upset m»..y theories including the idea that a marvellous i memory is a sign of healthy intellect. On the contrary to forget trivialities i and devote the mind to important j things only is the sign of health, as j life advances. Too much attention to detail, cspselally to petty econ omies, not necessary, is also a bad sign so the medical authority of the London Times tells you. Western Canada wheat growers have discovered they can ship grain from Pacific ports through the Pan ama canal to Europe more cheaply than by rail to Great Lakes or Atlan tic ports. They shipped 14,000,000 bushels that way in 1922 as against 500,000 bushels in 1920.

HAD BRIEF TIME OF GLORY American Flagship Connecticut, Na tion’s Pride of a Few Years Ago, Put Away as Obsolete. Only yesterday, as human events are recorded in history, the Connecti cut was the flagship of the proudest fleet that ever put to see flying the Stars and Stripes; as the finest and best of the Imposing battleships which mude the cruise around the world, she played a stellar role in one of the most Important events In the history of the American navy. Of the big 16 which comprised that American armada she is the only one to survive, and now’ she,Is to rest In dead man’s row’ at Puget sound. The “Conny” has more service as flagship to her credit than any American man of-war. Moreover, she has seen more continuous active service than any vessel of her class and probably more than any capital ship In the United States navy. Yet she never fired a shot at an enemy.

Clemence Isaure was a lady of Toulouse, France, celebrated for her learning. She Instituted the floral games In that city, when flowers were bestowed on successful competitors. She was born In 1464. When she was a young girl the one romance of her life began. A young troubadour fe'l in love with her and sang songs to her In which their names were linked. She replied with flowers, whose mean ing her lover could easily interpret. He was killed in battle, and Clemence resolved to take the veil. Before do ing so, however, she renewed the poetic festival and as prizes distrib uted among the victors the five dif ferent flowers, wrought in gold and silver, with which she had replied to her lover.
