Opening the kitchen door, he was horrified by the Bight of his wife and cllldren lying duad on the floor. They had been scalped by the Indians. Ptuplfled by the sight, he was at first struck dumb; then, recovering his voice, he said in tones of dull amaze, "How ridiculous:" The story may be true, or tt may not be true, but, true or not, it Is not In credible, for the tragedy Is one that has been told many times In the . west, and the inadequacy of the man's vocabulary to meet the situation la not confined to ranchmen. It Is universal, on the plains, where books play a minor part In the struggle for existence, and In the city, where dictionaries, encyclopedias, refer ence books and books of synonyms nudge a man at every turn of the elbow. The discovery of the bodies of a mother and children under such harrowing cir cumstances was anything but ridiculous to the husband and father. lie used the wrong word, but can you say you never o? The knowledge of words, their uses and Abuses, is as free as the air and the water, but not one man In a thousand lias a vcabulary that Isn't limited to the narrowest confines; he knows two or L. GARSIDU. three ways to express admiration, twice as many to express hatred, and can't, to tave his life, command a word that ex presses a shade or degree of difference. When he attempts a word with which he has never gained a speaking acquaint ance, he flounders and falters and gar bles it In sound and meaning, and saya what he didn't Intend to say, and doesn't know he said It. There Is no aristocracy In words, but he doesnt know It, and looks on those he has never used as something above and beyond him and an affectation to at tempt. 'It Is not a knowledge dependent on In come, as the particularly limited vocabu lary of the millionaire proves; It Is a knowledge dependent only on personal de sire. Have you that desire? If you haven't, cultivate It. The command of a good vocabulary will not provoke the wish to talk more. Tou probably talk too much already. It only means that you will talk better, and with this good sense that comes with knowledge, you will talk to a better pur pose. A new word a day means so many more planks when one Is about to drown in, a conversational sea. The right word In the right place has saved the day many times, and may save the day for you. Begin with the Infants, the little simple words, and never stray beyond them. Little Bobbie's Pa 11 J " I fAA.DE. THE.

He used the plain little simple tools to convey hlu thoughts, and the best writers, the clear est thinkers, and the finest scholars have always een fit to Imitate him. If you are a thinker, you want the best tools to convey your thoughts, and those tools are found In the simplest word In the English language. Don't be guilty of flirting with a word so long the first J syllable Is out of sight before the last has turned the rorner, and never drop Into a foreign languago to find a means to express yourself unless you are willing to emerge with this placard pasted on you: "I am a learned fool." The Frrncli are serious In the Inten tion to put a ure.it fleet of aeroplane afloat In tho event of a war with tier many. Hy the end of tu present year it Is estimated that the French army will have 200 aerial vessels at' Its dis posal, and It is cal culated by military authorities that at lciist another 100 will bo needed to com pleto tho equipment. Theio Is talk- of supplying the flcleney, In an emer- Kcncy, by com mandeering th largo number of private aeroplane which exlBt In Franco. Aeroplanes are very quickly con structed, the types are now well fixed, they are Inexpensive and the number of French military of ficers trained In their management Is rapidly Increasing. Enthusiasts declare that It would be easy to man 1,000 within a few months If they wera needed The aerial fleet of France at tho end of the year, 4f only those now contemplated aro put Into commission, will consist of 120 monoplanes and eighty biplanes. In addition, there are a number of dirigibles, but tho French are less enthusiasts over this kind of aerial vessel than the Ger mans, although It was In Franca that the first really successful experiments with them were made. The great use to which aeroplanes would be put In case of nar is for s .'O'.it ing. Tho ntmonhp.ro along Jhe eastern frontier of France would be traversed in all U!t actions by aviators, watching tha niovctnentH of the Invaders and giving r.ottce of all Important maneuvers, fcjiuca aeroplanes enh now Ascend to a holKht of many thouaitnils of feet, carrying tela scopes and wireless Xelegrupli apiaratua. it Is easy to ace that tho cutting of tele graph lliies would bo 'ineffective In con cealing the movements of hontlle armies. As to tliu carrying of un ouenvive uriu- amttit, that Is hardly to bo thought of at present, although, where an aero car ries two pciHOns und many now do that one of the adventurers might bo pro vided with a light, high-powered carbine. Although the primary purpose of tli military aeroplane is to collect and trans mit Information, yet it Is piactleally cer tain that encounters between theso birds of war would occasionally occur, nnd nothing more exciting to the Imagination can easily be concolved than such a con test, fought out thousands of feet above the ground. If war comes It Is safo to predict that tho Htory of the doings of the aeroplanes will be read With an Inter est hardly second to that aroused by the battles. The maneuvers of the French army In the vautera departments this autumn made It perfectly evident that one of the first things the advancing hosts of Germany caught sight of would be a line of aerial pickets soaring above tho woods aiid hills that concealed the de fending forces, like warning birds giving notice to an ambushed lion of tho nearlng of his enemies.

It la a qUeHtlon of self-control. . "fh, you, . know, coffee doesn't asrea with me, bht'I simply love It.' Another cup, please."t' ' i ' ','.!' That' Is the defeat of tho early morning and during the day the woman Who bo ardently deslrea to be beautiful succumbs to one after another of the temptations which she knows she should resist If she wants to keep the looka she has und de velop more. ' Many of these temptations meet her at the table, but her road Is beset with them at every hand. There Is the desire to be lasy. especially prevalent among the stout sisterhood. No woman has to be lasy unless she wanta to, nor need she allow the accumu lation of flesh to continue beyond a cer-.. tain point. But It's easier to get fat and then bewail one'B fate at Turkihh bulhs than to control one's desires for too much and too many cweeU anil exerclso both brain and body systematically. Tho woman who Is very thin and In sists on woryylng over that and other things mlKht learn to banish her petty at.d unnecessary worries from her mind by making a determined effort of the will. Bhe mlKht cultivate a eenso of humor and make herRelf look upon tho bright sldo of things, even if It was hard. Personally I have never been at' to understand why people who profess perfect faith In their Creator should go nround us hnrassed and worried ax if they were personally responsible for the universe. Atlas, who carried the world on his shoulders, Is always pictured as a most careworn, o'd rerson, with a vlsapo attained with wrinkles. Yet, !f ha had tossed the earth oft his shoulders nothing terrible would have happened.' since It has hung suspended for quite a whllo wlthqut his help. There 'are thousands of lady Atlases. One sees their careworn faces every where, each earning an unnecessary load of worry, "Well, I am of that temperament. I Just huve to worry about sjmi-thlns all the time." I've hnd dozens of women ray that to me In one breath nnd ask for- a wrinltlo remedy with tho next. Worry with thoni as much a weakness as candy U villi other. .

Will power Is the first nid 11 hcau-y. Never a rule holds good about the feathers of a little bird and the character that goes with the feathers. Thus the girl you see in the street car may pull a thin volume of high brow dope from her muff and the thin lipped spinster be lost in the maze of a best seller.' Griefs of tho tireat, Cervantes, the celebrated author of "Don Qlxotc." filed of hunger. In England, the last days of Spenser, Otway, Butler and Dryd'.a were spent In poverty. Tasso was frequently ol liaed to tonow a crown from a I rleud to pay l 1 month's Bubslstence. .. . . .,.
