"Isn't it curious Cynthia, +" the colonel
said to Mrs. Calliper, 'how sometimes the
current of our lives is DETECTED by the most
trivial incidents2 Now there was Philetus
Goblinton. You remember what vain,
consequential man he was2 But all that
was changed by just the slightest thing in
the world. He went one Sunday to a
church where he had never been before and
where he was quite unknown. As usual,
he made toward the middle aisle, where, at
home, he was accustomed to sit, but the
man that met him led him not down the
middle aisle, but along the back of the
peWs and down o siGe aisle, and he gave
him seat pretty well back.
"This was crusher for Philetus. Here
was man, evidently q man of some ac-
count, who, with the unprejudiced eyes of
total stranger, had sized him up as u
man of side aisle Importance. Could 1t be
that his friends and acquaintance really

Diligent search has been made for the
source of this strange noise, but SO far
no one has solved the mystery. Old
lumbermen remember that the camp has
been considered to be haunted for years.
and the sound of the rolling stones
has been heard on many moonlight

who are on their way into the Sourdna-

A philaterist's Interest In war.

AS an example of the exceedingly di-
verse interests that may depend upon the
success of the Japanese arms we quote the
following letter which was recently re-
ceived by Marshal Yamagata:
General-I am an ordinary schoolboy
scarcely years old. stay in Bern. In
Bne atlas Switzerland is smaller than Ja-
pan. / am very glad you have met your
enemies as my forefathers met theirs and
that the brave general has always won.
it is to be hoped that you will conquer the
great Chinese empire and pull down the
great wall that surrounds it. believe
this wall is to blame for my not having
any Chinese stamps in my album yet. |
hear you are a kind man. Will you be so
good as to send me some of the many Chi
nese stamps which you are sure to find
among the booty?
The marshal was of course much anus
ed at the letter, and although he has not
yet had time to pull down the great wall
he has made such arrangements that it
shall no longer stand in the way of his
southful correspondence q ambition. WEST
