It has come Into some prominence lately In connection with the fifth cen tenary celebrations of the famous Dick Whittington, whose fame rests mote solidly on his possession of a cat than upon any municipal honors which came to him, observes London Tit Bits. There have been all manner ol learned discussions as to Whitting ton’s cat, one of which pointed to the probability that this city merchant had a ship called the Cat. But the late Professor Rowley of Bristol was perfectly sure that “cat” was an ab brevltlon of this old English word “cate,” meaning provisions, which sur vives, even In our geography, in the Cate river at Plymouth. The Century Plant The belief that the century plant blooms every 100 years Is a myth, ac cording to Pathfinder Magazine. The flowering of this Interesting plant de pends upon the climate and rapidity of growth. In warm climates such as Mexico and Central America, the original home of the century plants, they grow rapidly and usually bloom about the seventh of eighth year, sel dom later than the twelfth. In colder climates the period before bloom Is much longer. Some authorities say that In hot houses 80 to 100 years may elapse before the plant flowers, a fact which probably gave rise to the cen tury myth from which the plant gets Its popular name. After flowering the century plant dies down to the ground. However, new plants arise from lat eral buds. Flowers of the Desert Arizona deserts have their own flow ers. In places the supply Is abundant, the growth large, the flowers when In bloom of marked beauty, the big yucca and the sotol, both members of the Illy family, showing beautiful bloom on tall and stately stalks. One of the Interesting desert growths Is the water cactus, so named because Its great stalk, from five to ten feet high and as large In circumference as a barrel. It has a heavy pulpy cov ering from which it is possible to squeeze goodly amounts of water, and Indians and travelers are quick to turn to the cactus when water supplies are short, says the Detroit News. Simply Couldn't Dorothy, aged five, had been given a pretty blue-silk sash and the first day she wore It she was constantly running to her mother to have It tied. "Why, Dorothy,” said her mother, “This makes the fifth time I’ve tied four sash this morning. You must earn to tie it yourself.” “But how can I, mamma,” replied the little miss, "when I’m standing around in the f^ont all the time?” l{oya) Theatre “HOME OF GOOD PICTURES” - FRIDAY -- Wm.

TUBERCULOSIS Learn From Lazy Man Managers of a department stori were asked to pick out their best salesman, writes Fred Kelly In the Nation’s Business, that others might study his methods. They looked uq their records and picked a man, bul r» Investigation of his methods quick ly showed that he was only a mediocre salesman. True, he had- sold more than anybody else In his department, but this was because he hud the heavy expense of a sick wife and conse quently unusual Incentive Jo work nard for more commissions. While he sold a lot of goods, he did It with wasteful expenditure of his energies. Several other salesmen sold almost as much as he did with only about half the effort. As Frank Gilbreth says, “The Ideal man to learn methods from Is one so lazy that he works barely hard enough to avoid being 3red.” There Is Much to See Often as I work I stop to see, really lee, see everything, or to listen, and it Is the wonder of wonders how much there Is In this old world which we never dreamed of, how many beauti ful, curious, Interesting sights and sounds there are which ordinarily make no impression upon our clogged, over fed and preoccupied minds. I have also had the feeling—it may be unscien tific, but it is comforting—that any man might see like an Indinn or smell like a hound if he gave to the senses the brains which the Indian and the hound apply to them. And I’m pretty sure about the Indian! It Is marvel ous what a man can do when he puts his entire mind upon one faculty and oears down hard.—David Grayson. What Arc We Coming To? The other day in tills city an oper ntic tenor offered as evidence of Ills affection for his wife the plea that he always washed the dishes, says the New York Evening Post. Such stories as these offer n fine opportunity for novelists to portray the wifely sturdy oaks and the husbandly clinging vines. The tired business woman coming home, finding the easy chair near tile fire, her slippers warm, while the hus band sits on the arm of her chair, lights her cigarette and prattles about his household cares—a very pretty pic ture. And the husbands need nut mind, so long as their wives don't beat them. RETREAT AT ST. MARY’S ACADEMY On Sunday, September 28th, at 7:45 p. m. the Rev. Gregory Carr, 0. F.
