KEEPING STILL.

or all the men whom admire
1nere's not one who may aspire
10 stand as high, and none who can,
AS does the truly quiet man"
If any being on the earth
Gets credit far beyond his worth,
That one can be none other than
This unobtrusive, quiet man"
No matter what's within his head
His silence is interpreted
To be a sign that wisdom lies
Behind his inexpensive eyes.
II so he drops word or two,
His friends will search 'em through and
through
Than e'er the speaker thought or meant.
If so by chance, he takes a stand,
Assumes position of command,
Surprised approval greets him then,
And you shall hear from other men:
Some weighty reason lay behind
An act so foreign to his kind"
When things go wrong his moveIess state
Is credited to scorn of fate.
So softly to himself he swears;
IT'S thought he murmurs pious prayers
He's SO misjudged his flaws at length
Are twisted into points of strength.
Poor humankind awaits command
From all it doesn't understand
And he may work his own sweet will
Who has the art of keeping still

late Joan of Arc. Three notable cases
have occurred recently in Greece, Bra
I'll and Cuba. The modern Helen, as
she has already been nicknamed, is
lovely Trojan girl, Helena CONSTANT
hides. Her family had suffered much
from the Turks; her brother died
fighting, and her arrival in Athens was
hailed with enthusiasm. Volunteers
crowded around her, and she finally left
for the seat of war with a band of 1850
enthusiasts. She does not seem as yet
to have come to any harm, though the
heel of her shoe was torn off by bull
let. Another Greek warrior maiden
is prepared to go and do likewise. She
is a prominent member of the New
York Greek colony, and she has so
relations fighting in Thessaly. Miss
EGopoulon has not long been in Amer
lea. She was born in Sparta, her IA
Their being mayor of Zaraka. The wom-
en- of Greece have always played a
prominent part in the country's strug-
giles for independence. When the
Greeks attacked Constantinoplei in 1921,
a Greek lady, Boubolina, burned Is
cities.
The Brazilian Joan of Arc recalls
strongly her French prototype. She is
inspired by religious fana ticism rather
than by patriotism, and she believes
herself to be, as did the Maid of Or
leans, divinely inspired. The govern
ment of the Brazilian republic took
action to deprive the clergy of many
of their privileges, and in little viii
lage a young haf-breed girl, Maria
Barbosa, started kind of holy war,
inspired by vision in which she had
been commanded to lead the people
against the enemies of the church. A
band of villagers soon gathered around
Maria; they marched, some 500 strong,
on a neighboring town, and, although
met by a force of 500 soldiers and
civilians, captured the place. AS was
the case with Joan of Arcs army, the
strictest religious discipline is MAIN
tanned. Maria spends her spare time
In fasting and praying. Efforts to cap
ture her have proved unavailing, and
she confidently expects to take Rio
Janeiro, says the sketch.
Cuba's heroine became a warrior
through love and revenge. Her sweet
heart, an insurgent captain, was cap
tured and shot by the Spaniards, and
the girl, who boasts of the historic
names of Martini Hernandez Perez,
vowed vengeance on his captors. She
gathered about her a band of amazons.
who each swore solemn oath never
to spare a Spaniard. During many
months of last year the senorita and her
feminine regiment struck terror into
the hearts not only of the Spanish plant
ers, but into the soldiery. On more
than one occasion she came out VIC
toriously from doing pitched battle
with the latter. She seemed to have
a charmed life, but at last she fell dur
ing comparatively Insignificant Skin

Some time ago a banker of Benson
made vigorous protest against thu
exorbitant rates charged by the ex
press company for transferring money
packages. He applied for redress
through the warehouse and railroad
commissioners, but without avail
He next tried to have the rates fixed
by the legislature, and there he also
met with disappointment and finally
gave it up in disgust. The express
companies rate is now reduced one
half, and what has reduced it is com

uality Co., was organized, which in
sures the safe transfer of all money
at the rate of 25 cents per thousand
through registered mail, and as soon
as they commenced to do business the
express companies came down to so
cents per M. This company not only
furnishes the bankers cheaper rate,
but safer and more reliable way of
sending money, all for which the
banks can thank the newly organized
company and no one else.

of United States ambassador Hays to
use his summer home in the Adiron-

to the question where he will spend the
heated term. He will remain at the
white house until congress adjourns
and leave for whatever place he may
select as suitable Immediately thereaf-

the heat becomes very oppressive it is
entirely probable hat Mrs. Mckinley
