'" at the top of the Indder, I am the vice- president of this mining concern.” “Js that so? You do a Jarge business, I guess . ense. The responsibility weighs on me quite leavily, but I've got to shoulder it. No way of getting around that, you know.”” “The man over there at that elegant desk is one of the officers of the company, I suppose? "” ; He's the secretary. And those other two at those fine desks are his assistants. He has a wonderful amount of work to do. But ber, he is a first-class man. We pay him ul an over there Lehind that railing is fficial, is he not?’ That’s the treasurer. He's another san. We pay him big money; but we re- 1 large bond, Got to do it.

ANATOMY FOR BEGINNERS Proceeding in a southerly direction from the torso, we have the hips, useful for padding, and the legs. The legs hold up the body, and are es used in walking, but when riding in nobiles they take up valuable space which ¢ might be employed to better advan- é hed to the legs are the feet. Some varieties of feet are cold. Some people are born with feet, others acquire cold feet, and still others have cold feet thrust upon them. The surface of the body is covered with cuticle, which either hangs in graceful loops or is streiched tightly from bone to bone. On the face it is known as the complexion, and is used extensively for commercial purposes by dermatologists, painters, and decorators. Between the cuticle and the bones are the muscles, which hold the bones together and pre- vent them from falling out and littering up the sidewalks as we walk along. Packed neatly and yet compactly inside the body are the heart, the liver, and the lungs; also the gall, which in Americans is abnormally large. These organs are used occasionally by the People who own them, but their real purpose is to furnish surgeons a living.—Lippincott’s. Hvssanp: Our little boy is sick, doctor, so Please come at once. 4 Puystctan: T can’t get over much under an hour Hivsmanp: Oh, do, doctor. You see, my wife has a book on “ What to Do Before the Doctor Comes," and I'm so afraid she'll do it before you get there! "’—Harper's Weekly.

Syracuse. The only high-erade light-weight large automobile. No other automobile combines such extreme refinement and flexibility of power with simplicity and great strength. No other will carry its passengers so far in a day with comfort on American roads; nor do so much on s0 low an operating cost. _ Quality, not pounds, makes an automobile high-grade and strong and safe. Strength is not a question of weight. It is a question of materials and their proper distribution. This is where skillful engineering comes in. The Franklin laminated wood frame—the highest grade construc- tion—is both stronger and lighter than the ordinary steel frame. The Franklin tubular axle is stronger and lighter than the solid I-beam axle commonly used. And so, all through the automobile. Weight is what wears out tires. The light-weight of Franklin automobiles makes their tires last longer than those on any other automobile, no matter what it costs. The Franklin air-cooled motor is neither big nor heavy, but it is the most efficient and effective of automobile engines. Its production of usable power for its size is unparalleled. It does away with the weight and complication of water-cooling apparatus and allows the whole automobile to be refined, simple and unsurpassably strong. Water-cooled automobiles with not a particle more strength nor carrying ability weigh a third to a half as much more, with all the chronic tire troubles and other worries involved ; beside the unrea- sonable operating expense. The 1909 Franklin won perfect scores in the Glidden Tour and in the Bretton Woods, the Chicago and the Cleveland Endurance Runs—the four severest reliability contests in automobile history. The tire troubles, overheating, leaking, broken axles and broken frames were none of them on the light-weight air-cooled Franklins. Before you buy trouble and useless weight, look into the facts.
