watch this Irritation with interested eyes,
and she said to the minister, You are get

In quiet corner of an inner salon in
Mime. Rul's mansion, the next afternoon,
the madame tactfully absent in an outer
room, the minister was saying to the
daughter of the house of Wicker, 81 am

Membership of the Grand Army.

AT the recent encampment at In
dianapolis the adjutant-general of the
national department reported the total
membership of the Grand Army in
good standing at 1929. This was af-
ter deducting over 1000 who died in
the last year, 1870 returned as delin-
quent and Al 661 on the suspended list.
AT least 5000 of those on this list were
reported through the inadverlence or
carelessness of post officers. Encour-
aging features are found in the increase
of the total number of posts from 7 1868
lest year, to 7 626 this year. and that
the recruits, $1,000 in number, over
balance the 1000 deaths. The order
spent in the official year preceding June
30 the handsome sum Of 81, 800 600 in
charity. There is no cause to fear that
the Grand Army is going to pieces,
Notwithstanding the crocodile tears of
newspapers which have always been
inimical to the order. The actual
strength is not less than $50 900, count,
ing the delinquent and suspended as|
sick, wounded and absentees on leavei
used to be carried on the muster-rollj
of the army. With the vigor and hardN
work to be expected under the admin
istration of the new commander-iu-
chief, enough veterans still outside the
Grand Army can be brought in to raise
the aggregate for the next report to
750 000.-IrOy Times.

How Far You Could See.

If you were in a balloon hanging in the
rarified atmosphere five miles above the
earth or upon mountain top whose peak
was the same distance above sea level, how
far could you see in every direction? In
answer to the query as put, S. G. Gould, an
excellent authority, says; calling the
earth a sphere of 1900 miles radius and
making no allowance for refraction, per
son removed to an altitude of five miles
above sea level can see 200 miles in any di-
rection toward the horizon. The solution
is found in the fact that a tangent is a mean
proportional between secant and it's ex-
ternal segment. In this case the secant is
S,005 miles and it's external segment is five
miles. Hence the tangent, or distance re-
euired, is the square root of s, 005 X 4-40, OPS,
which is 200 miles, lacking a fraction. -

Women and Politics.

1.-THE English woman is much better in
formed upon the political affairs Of her
country than is the American one" said a
man who spends much time in London.
1.-THE difference is very marked" I'm
doubtedly this is true. o Inside of Wash
ington, where the very air exhales politics,
few American women seem TO know or
care much about the political issues of the
day. 1t is significant fact that in most
women's clubs politics, like religion, is a
tabooed question, and thus great oppor-
tunity for better information on the topic
Is lost. 1t is IL pity. Men live through po-
litical arguments. Why shouldn women?

Outdoor Exercise.

In the matter of physical exercise the
present is great improvement over the
past. American youth of both sexes are
beginning to see that a good deal of fun is
to be had out of doors. 1t is no uncommon
thing to find a girl who can do her 10 miles
without fatigue aud dance half the evening
if she can get the right kind of partner,
and if you happen to live for the summer
within range of mountain it is rather
the fashionable thing to foot it to the top
and back.
Football and baseball did something to-
ward starting this new regime, but they
have either fallen into the hands of profes-
SIGNALS or are confined to n narrow class.
Tennis has had a wonderful run and is one
of the pleasantest games eXtant because it
offers opportunities for quiet Irritation
while acquiring health. There are girls
who row as boys, and girls who ride horse
more gracefully. Indeed the tendency Of
the times is TO turn tho young people into
the pasture and let them browse at their
own sweet will.
1t has been shown, too, that robust bodies
are not inconsistent with well trained
minds. Thirty years ago we had hoidens
who could leap five rail fence, and very
pale and interesting young women, hollow
chested and hollow eyed, who could read
Greek The holden has changed to a
bright companion who will give you the

The Home Keeper.

About her household moving glad each day,
With heartful care of all the simplest things
And near her side a child voice COOS and
sings
She hears the noise of pattering feet at play
And pauses oft to kiss the lips that say
"Motherl" and joys to feel the hand thai
clngs
Close TO her hearts, as to her apron strings
Nor would she chide that little hand awayl
Then, when the day hath drifted to the dark
And Frightening stars loom through the twi

She feels the heart within her bosom stir
At every leaf that strikes the lattice
Harkl
Her lifes reward-a footstep at the gate,
And love that comes to claim the love of her

A Monument to the Rank and File.

The Grand Army of the Republic has
undertaken a good WORK in planning the
erection in Washington of a monument,
national in G aracter, to the rank and
nile of the Union army and navy. In
unnumbered cities and villages endur-
ing, and, in many cases, costly and i'm
posing memorials, have been reared in
honor of the heroes who fought, on land
and sea, for the preservation of their,
country. These monuments, however,
are almost wholly local III nature an
purpose. They are sacred to the me-
of single counties or other miuOr CT
divisions who wore the Union blu
Neither is there in any instance, we !
lieve, distinction made between ran
and file and the officers. Yet the deedA
and glory of the leaders of the hOsts of
freedom aud their lieutenants have in
many instances been individually COM
memorated in granite and bronze and
marble. Monuments to generals are
common, but filtirg memorial of the
private soldiers and common sailors has
yet to be provided. 1t is to be hoped
that the Grand Army will push its mon
ument project vigorously and that it
will receive cordial and effective support
from the general public in SO far as out
side assistance may be needed and de-
sired. The monument will be national
in importance, and it will serve to re-
mind all future generations that the
American republic was saved by the
unbought and eager sacrifices and her.

CHICAGO, April 19.-Lymar B. Lamb, .
millionaire from Akron, o., has broken
the record for mysterious disappearances.
The Chicago police were informed today
that Mr. Lamb in company with Attorney
Jacob Newman of this city, drew $4,000
in currency from bank here Monday
noon and leaving the sacbel containing
the money in the lawyers hands, he went
TO a restaurant for q meal. From that
time nothing has been seen or heard OF
him and it is supposed that he was fol-
lowed from the bank by men who saw
him draw the large amount of money,
and under the supposition that he mad
the currency on his person he has been
foully dealt with. For several weeks Mir.
Lamb, who is one OF Akron's most promi-
nent citizens, has been CARRYING on nego-
tiations with Attorney Newman for a valu-
able tract OF property near Waukegan. a
Chicago suburb. On this business
he mas been in Chicago
month. and Monday last the prelimin-
aries had been arranged for the purchase.
That afternoon the vendor and vendee
bad arranged TO take a northwestern train
TO Waukegan for the purpose of making
a final investigation, and it was agreed
that if everything proved satisfactory to
Mn. Lamb he should make cash pay
ment of $4,000. Mr. Lamb requested
Lawyer Newman TO accompany him TO
his bank where his funds were on deposit
Arrived there the $4,000 was drawn and
the fact was witnessed bv @ num-
Der of well-dressed men who appeared
TO be Attending TO their or
binary business at the bank.
The money was carried a little distance
from the paying teller's window, carefully
counted and placed in a small sachsl
which Lamb had with him for the pur-
pose, The two then walked to Washing
ton.st and went to the chamber of COM
merce building. when Lamb told his
companion he was hungry and invited
him 10 lunch This invitation was de-
clined and Lamb then said: "You take
charge of the money and I'll 90 over the
street and eat lunch. I'll be back Ia q
few minutes"
The attorney acquiesced and took the
sachsl expecting his purchaser to return
within fifteen or twenty minutes. From
that moment nothing has been seen or
heard Of Millionaire Lamb. and the
SIS, 900 has remained in Attorney New
mans possession. The police when told
of Mr.. Lambs disappearance by Attorney
Newman detailed a number OF officers on
the case. They are working on the theory
that Lamb was enticed into a room in
come neighboring building and either
drugged or slugeed into insensibility
and than upon finding that he had no
money on his person the robber left him
for dead. If be WAS struck on the head tbs
not unlikely that he is wandering abous
bereit of his reason. and the police all over
the city have been informed 10 keep q
sharp outlook for the missing man.
Mr.. Lamb is described as a quiet BUSH
ness man and not in the least likely to
have neglected business engagement or
10 have left such a sum of money in the
hands of q con parativs stranger.

RELIGIOUS WAVE IN KENTUCKY.
Sam Jones Causes Sinners to Repent
and Saloons to Close.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. April 1S.-A re-
ligious wave has swept over Bowling
Green and has carried everything before
it. The most hardened sinners have be-
come converts, and the most interesting
results have followed. Sam Jones was
hired by some OF his admirers 10 come TO
this city and rescue it from its depths Of
sin. For $500 he undertook the job, and
seems to have earned his money. He
preached ten DAYS end during that time
more than $500 people made professions
of religion, 800 of the number
joining the various churches sun
DAY and being baptized last
night. Besides the work OF converting
sinners, the Georgia evangelist inaugu-
rated great moral wave against the
LIQUOR traffic and for the next twelve
months ut least Bowling Green inebriates
will spit cotton" or irrigate their burning,
copper-lined stomachs at the town pump,
the city council having refused TO reissue
the saloon men license. Two weeks ago
the men who had predicted the saloons OF
Bowling Green would be closed soon
would have beon set down as crazy, and
the TACT that they are to be closed is the
work of the great moral wave which was
inaugurated by sam Jones. There are
forty-three saloons in the city.
