the first bowling team and starting a

"As near aa t can make it out. the first
bowling alley In little old New York wss
down around the Rettery In a place called
Bowline Oreen. All the ten strikes these
days are made a few blocks further up
Broadway, at a place called Wall treet.
, "Well, the first alley was run at on
time by a Dutchman named Pete. Tete
had a wooden leg. and I suppose they
called him One Pin Pete. From what I

called him that mostly when he wasn't

Loretta's Looking Glass-Held Up to Girl
It was after church on Easter Sunday.
The girl in the winter hat had sat right in
front of us. And us waa myself and a man.
I bowed as we all 'started out of the
edifice. And the man asked with soma
eagerness: "Do you know herT"
"I don't make a habit of speaking to peo
ple I do not know," I answered, wondering
at his enthusiasm;
He kept watching the girl while a perfect
procession of pleased faces under new
Easter hats moved unnoticed all around
him.
"Now, why were you so Interested In that
girl in the old hat?" t asked when he had
watched her out of sight. "As a delight to
the eye she could not compare with a num
ber of others."
Do you know, the man turned on me
with a gentlemanly ferocity!
"It's a pity girls never can get over the
notion that all men like to be pleased
through tbelr eyes or their stomachs!"
"Perhaps I am like the other girls. And,
If there Is another route to a man's heart,
I should be glad to have It mapped out!" I
snapped cynically.

"What's the use of having Towers if you
have to look at them behind a net? Just

"Nonsense!" exclaimed the Confirmed

"You've been reading too many cold stor
age Jokes! The mosquito Is a perfectly
harmless Insect uule.-s it Is attacked, or
thinks It Is about to be attacked. Like the
bee, the hornet or the wasp. It attend
strictly to its own business If let alone."
"That's ail very well as a theory," re

A northerner asked a Cracker If he

And, possessed with that spirit of doubt
which comes to all women and stays with
some I demanded to be shown what he
meant. ...
"I'll bet that girl had an Easter hat at
home; but she had too much principle to
wear it. She didn't want to be one to re
duce a day that ought to have another
meaning to a mere vanity carp use!" he
orated.
"Suppose she had no other hat. I reckon
she had"
"She had courage enough to come In the
old one, then! Lots of girls would have
stayed at home!"
Remembering a violent fit In which I had
seen a girl late the night before because
her milliner had not sent the promised hat,
I said nothing.
"You see, It's up to the girls to decide
how they want men to regard them. The
man who has some Ideals and has to work
knows that It takes money to live, and it
takes nerve to make the money In the right
wsy. If he Is a fool he marries one of the
girls who spends most of her time and all
the cash she can get In making a. stylish

returned her husband easily. "What I tell
you about mosquitos is absolutely true!
Pay no attention to them! Oo about your
work a If they didn't exist and they'll
return the compliment they won't know
you're alive! Just try it tomorrow!"
"But my flowers need watering tonight!"
protested his wife plaintively. "And I'm
afraid to go out! I simply can't do It!
Why, I believe I'd cry if I got one more
mosquito bite!"
The Confirmed Commuter, touched by
her doleful demeanor, fell plump into the
snare.
"All right," he said. "I'll water 'em for
you and at the same time I'll prove my
theory about mosquito that Is, If there
are any."
Right valiantly he strode from the house
into the garden, and his wife from the
carefully screened porch gleefully observed
his toll.
He was compelled to carry water, pail at
a time, from the kitchen sink to the flower
bed a And on each trip a buzzing, swarm
ing halo of mosqullos encircled him. He
smote his head, his face and the back of
his neck, but to no purpose.
At the end of five minutes he stopped
work and lighted a cigarette. He puffed
furiously, blowing the smoke here and
there.
Suddenly he threw down the watering
can and ran towards the house.
HU wife opened the door hastily.
"Get the arnica, or the witch hazel, or
the whisky anything you have!" he
gasped. "I've been stung!"

(Revised version )
In the summer of 1" a boy was riding
a bicycle on a country road. The bicycle
craze was at its height. The boy had not
owned a wheel very long at that time. As
he was spinning along he met a man with
a team. The horses, not being ued to
bicycles, showed great alarm. The driver
called to the boy to dismount until he
could get pa5t. The boy, who thought he
knew his rights, called back that he would
do nothing of the sort, as he was giving
half the road and would ride past. The
results for both were far from satisfac
tory. The difficulty In this instance was that
a complete adjustment to a new situation
had not been made. "Yes," some will fay,
"the horse should hnve known better than
to ally." True, but the horse had not had
much experience with bicycles at that time.
Certainly the boy on the wheel had a right
to half the road, and there was no law
compelling him to get off and give all of it.
But In the new situation caused by a new
and strange vehicle It would have been
better ror all concerned if the boy had
dismounted and given the road. It was the
boy that needed adjustment to a new sit
uation. In our progressive civilization thl
readjustment must go on all the time or
ws come to hopeless confusion.
It Is said that one of the first locomo
tives to cross the plains was attacked by
Indiana. One more handy than the rest
sought to check the speed of the Iron
monster by throwing a lariat over the
smokestack. He never did It again. The
trouble was the engine was a new feature
In the economy of the Indian and he had

The whole problem of Christian ethics Is
laid bare here. The world moves on and

"I happen to know she has It," I re

male creature who oould detect it."
"You don't give us credit for a much
sense as we have. Men have got to look
sharp. Of course, they look sharp to like a
dowdy girl, but they are not to be caught
with fine clothe and a frivolous manner.
They know how clothes and frivols cost.
They may play with girls like that, but they
have too much sense to want to assume
the responsibility and expense permanently.
They will not marry them. Now that

All the Doctor's Fault
I am strictly on a diet for the doctor made
it plaii
That my stomach was rebelling at the gas
tronomic strain
Which my. palate put upon it (I am prone
to eat with seat
A lot of fancy dishee which don't easily
digest.)
The donor told me sharply that I mustn't
eat so much.
That I'd have to quit the rabbits and the
cakes and plea and such.
And he figures out' a diet which was cer
tain to agree
With my broken down condition it was
merely toast and tea!
Yet my stomach Isn't better, and I suffer
Just the same.
And I thlnlt the doctor's faking spite of all
his fees and fame;
I ve been truly very faithful to his dietary
' wish.
Though I've varied It a little with some
steak and chops and fish,
With somo nicely fried potatoes, and some
doughnuts freth and hot.
And a fine old English pudding that was
smoking from the pot;
Yet my chronic indigestion is as bad as It
can be,
And I've lost all faith In diets such as
simple toast and tea!
In fact.' I think It harmful, for last night I
nearly died!
My pangs were something terrible, I
moaned and groaned and cried!
I had the flerecst nightmare that a mortal
ever knew!
Yet toast and tea was all I ate except a
clam or two,
A link or so of sausage and a glass or two
of wine,
A nicely roasted pigeon, and a lobster that
was fine.
Now I know the other Items never yet save
troubled me.
And It couldn't be the lobster, so It must
have been the tea!

a Iouk list of problems of civilisation. As
fast as the conditions of life change and
a few feature i added there appear a
whole swarm of vcx'ng questions that
must be decided. New definitions of rights
l.ave to be made and the w hol scheme of
human resju'tislhilliy ri vised accordingly.
What a lot of questions the automobile
roused! Questions of speed, questions of
kind of wheel ai,d tire, questions of road
rights and all that. In many quarters the
new vehicle was put with ill-conoealed or
even open hostility. It was an easy mat
ter for the man c'i,:vlnw an auto to go
dashing throuch n furtn ard, maiming and
killing poultry, lauding as be dashes
away. But It was aNo easy for the f:irnier
boy to conceal a few boards with nails In
them where they would do the most good
when the next auto came along. This sort
of warfare could continue Indefinitely; but
to w hat' purpose ? Far better was It to ad
just cursetves to the new vehicle and ar

ter for automobile drivers to learn that j

malicious destruction i f property Is not '
the way to settle a rlence. 1
The w ireless telegraph Is here, offering
t -rreat possibilities. But its use has brought !
ethical problems. In the midst .of an im
portant government dispatch from Charles
ton navy yard to a government station on
Cape Cod a hlsh school boy with his ama
teur plant broke In and hopelessly delayed
important ' government business. When
told to keep out his reply was, "Who owns
the air, anyway?" His answer was en
tirely logical. What a problem for the
government and for science and for so
ciety to work on!
All sorts of craft are beginning to navi
gate the air. The long dream of ages has
come true and the man-bird has arrived.
It will not be long until commercial and
military values will emerge and the flying
machlrie business will be permanently es
tablished. A look, ahead reveals the possi
bility of the question arising again, "Who
:wns the air?" Laws will not settle these
questyons. Laws help, but after the laws
are made there must be wisdom In In
terpreting larger brotherly charity In obey
ing them. individual self-control and
brotherllness that is the secret of any
solution that will be thorough and perma
nent. Here Is where Christianity solves the
problem. "For ye brethren were called for
freedom through love be servants
one to another." Have we not been called
into large liberty? What liberty of the
earth? What liberty of the sea? What
liberty of the air? It looks as if Ood had
Just been 'waiting for men to manifest suf
ficient interest in the powers and mysteries
of the universe so that one by one He
could reveal them. During the last fifty
years they have been disclosed with amaz
ing rapidity. Every disclosure has made
for freedom of the Individual. But It Is a
freedom . that haa brought responsibility.
Might It not be that Ood has withheld
His mightiest secrets, waiting for man to
grow. strong enough for the responsibility?
Can He trust us now? Can He trust us
with engines of destruction for warfare
that would make a few hours' battle
wholesale carnage? Can He trust us with
air craft able to carry sufficient explosives
to destroy a whole army or city? Can He
trust us with the mighty secrets of science,
chemistry and electricity? Surely not, un
less the love of Christ so permeates society
that men will no longer desire to use these
forces aealnst each other. Surely not, un
less brotherllness puts an end to greed
and savage hate among men. "Through
love become servants one to another."
