Goo Many Colonial Dame
.Sociefier.

There are now three Societies of
Colonial Danes, each one of which
claims the sole right to use that title.
The claim has caused so much friction
among the DANES, and at times had
SO seriously threatened to arouse the
old revolutionary spirit, that one of
the organizations went into court and
demanded that it should decide which
one of the three was the one and only
original Colonial Danes of America.
The court-the Appellate division of
the supreme court of New York-for
once was nonplused. and after long
and serious consideration sustained
the ruling OF the lower court that all
three had the right to use the title in
discriminatory. AS this decision vir
tually says there is no one and only
original set of Colonial Danes. and
moreover denies the right of mutual
exclusiveness, it may well be i'm
agined that the Colonial Danes of all
three societies are in a state of mind
which can be better imagined than de-
scribed.
A recent writer proved that nearly
all the members of one society Of Co.
lonial Danes who could trace ancestry
back to the Colonial times" were
descended from ''staunch old tories
who never became reconciled to the
severance from slavish bondage to
Britain. In this respec. the colonial
danes Should not be confounded with
the Danes of the American Revolu-
ton. who are the actual descendants of
American patriots.

MOderniZed Palestine.

In spite of all our philosophy the
invasion of the birthplace of Chris
tianity by modern devices and modes
of life CRATES harshly on sensitive
minds. Names hallowed by religious
associations seem out of place on rail
way timetables or subscription lists
of long distance telephones. or
course. all this is illogical for we
need not expect any part of the
world to remain in infancy, still prim-
tive habits and modes of life are so
naturally blended with the Biblical
narrative that we cannot entirely sup
press a wish for their perpetuation.
But modern innovations are strangers
to sympathy. The railway from Joppa
10 Jerusalem, at first an experiment,
"a now run on strictly business prin-
ciples. and branches are under con-
struction to familiar places up and
down the Jordan. Trolley lines are
proiected to connect Jerusalem with
bethlehem, Bethany. the Lake of Gal
lice. Samaria. Jericho, Nazareth and
other places. while In the city itself
there are electric lights, telephones
and other modern conveniences. In
stead of the workman longing his
shadow. he now consults n cheap Am
erican watch for quitting time. and
all other modern supplies are han
died by commission houses through
out Palestine and Syria. More than
900 monographs were recently i'm
ported, one-half going to Damascus
and the rest to Jerusalem and near
by places.
A commission house at Beyrut has
bought q $3.50 windmill from an Illi-
nois firm. and there is an important
market for all kinds of irrigation ma
chinery. The all-conquering syndi-
cate is In evidence. and the once fer
tile valleys are to be reclaimed by ir-
rigation on large scale, and once
more transformed into n land flowing
with milk and honey. Many OF the
rich foreigners making Investments
are Jews and leaders in the Back to
Jerusalem" movement. The figurative
prophecy of the two women grinding
at n mill Is recalled by the setting up
OF n l7-horsepower Chicago windmill
in the interior west of the Jordan to
run n large grist mill Bicycles are
common on the streets, and the NUM-
cipality OF Beyrut had added n $4,000
steam roller to Its public equipment.
The Turkish government has given

1ess-Cured by
Pe-ru-na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 33rd st., Minneapolis, Mimi,
as follows:
II suffered for years with pain in
the small of my back and right side.
1t interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and l never supposed
that 1 would be cured, as the doctors
medicine did not seem to help me any.
Fortunately a member of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that 1 decided to try
it. Although l started in with little
faith, felt so much better in a week
that I felt encouraged.
II took 1t faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that l am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect health
once more is the best thing 1 could
wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy
that now."-Minnie E. McAllister.
The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found in
many drug stores. These remedies can
be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at a uniform price. and no
druggist can get it cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations Of
Peruna for Peruna. 1t Is done every
day without a doubt.

Pocket
Monkeys

The latest fad in the way of pets is
the pocket monkey. 1t is only about
two years since the little fellow made
his first appearance in this country in
his present capacity, and he might be
said to have taken the hearts of pet
lovers by storm. Now his popularity
has become so great that the men who
make a business of catering to the
whims of the people who like pets say
that the demand for the pocket mon
key is five times as great as the sup
ply. They predict a bright future for
the new favorite just as soon as the
people down in Brazil can be made to
understand what good commercial
article they have and thus be induced
to make a regular business of captur-
ing these monkeys and shipping them
up here.
The pocket monkey dwells so far in
the interior of Brazil as to be almost
out of the reach of traders. He Is
perhaps, the smallest member of the
monkey family known. being about
five inches long, but with a tail that is
sometimes three times as long as his
body. He belongs to the marmot fam
lily of monkeys. and is extremely neat
in person and cleanly of habit. If it
wasn't for those characteristics. he
would not be holding the place he does
in the hearts of those who have in
vested in him.

Control of BaIIoonr.

A cable dispatch from Paris de-
scribed how Santos Dumont. the Bra
Gillian aeronaut. steered cigar-shaped
balloon around the Longechamps race
course several times, and. after cir
cling around the Eiffel tower, went
back to his starting point. The state
ment, on its face. indicates that one
great difficulty in the navigation of the
air has been surmounted.
Long voyages In balloons were made
forty or fifty years ago. Professor Wise
and three others started in balloon
from st. Louis in 1853 and Travelled
nearly l.2OO miles landing in New
York. Long voyages were also made
by other American aeronauts and by
balloonists in Great Britain and
France, but in every case the aeronaut
was helpless The balloon carried him,
not where he wanted TO go. but whore
the winds willed. The problem of sus-
tanning Il man In air and of flying
through the air was solved. but bal
looming of that time was simply mat

All the efforts of aeronauts were
then detected to controlling the large
balloons in use. No one succeeded

THE I.HERMAN AND THE LIE

From the King: There was once a
fisherman. And of course he went
a-fishing. for no one expects fish,
erman to go out shooting rabbits. And
he caught two little fish, and they
were so small that he threw them back
again. And he went home without
any, and did not stop at the fish
monger's to buy large ones. And his
wife said to him: Where are the
large fish?" and he said: There are
none" And she said: And where
is the lie about the twelve-pound
trout?" And he said: 81 have not
one" Then his wife said: 'I do not
believe you have been fishing at all,
but have been to the races and lost
a lot of money and are afraid to tell
me. l think it is cruel, and l shall
go home to mother" And she wept
for long time. and was only per-
suaded by diamond ring that he
was telling the truth.
Moral.-A fishy lie is cheaper than
the necessary truth.

Boards In Russia.

The dwellers in the north of Europe
have always been remarkable for their
use of the beard. This. of course, is due
to the cold temperature of those re-
gions. At the present day Russia is
probably the country in which boards
are most generally worn. There the
peasants wear boards to a man. while
