FORTUNATE YOUTH.


New Orleans Times-Democrat
Talking about getting married. said
the man who has lived in many places. ''let
me tell you what happened to the right sort
of a chap out West. Let's say the old man
lived in Denver. He had millions. The
young man was making his living. Said he
to the old man: L want to marry your
daughter. and we are engaged The old
toned to a great deal, but has nothing in
her own name, and of course I want to
know what you can do for her. To this
the young man replied: Il want your con-
sent for her sake, but we will get married
anyhow. AS for my means, your daughter
knows just how much and what / have.
It's satisfactory to her. 1 wan you to sat
isfy yourself as to my family and char
acter, and let my money be a matter be-
tween your daughter and me- The older
man satisfied himself as to the young mans
character and family, and offered him an
interest in business. I don't want it, re-
piled the young man. 1 am doing pretty
we'll, we'll enough for myself and your
daughter. / am not marrying her for your
money nor for what you can do for me: 4
merely want your consent for her satisfac-
tion.' He got 1t. Shortly thereafter the
young couple went to Mexico, the man on
a $4,000 salary In gold. In due time, a son
was born. The old folks and the young
folks were the best of friends, but the boy
was named for his father, not his grand
father. The old man was not angered, even
If he was disappointed. His daughter was
happy and had all she needed. Later, the
mother and the son visited the old folks
in Denver, and the young husband joined
her. One day the old man said he wanted
to make his son-in-law a present. What Is
it?" asked the younger man. The -
block, which cost me more than a Million
replied the old man. I appreciate your
kindness, but l cannot accept it. 1 don't
need 1t, and could not accept 1t If 1 did,
was the reply. Then said the father-in-
law, I'll give it to my daughter He was
told he could do so If he could prevail upon
her to accept 1t. He failed. Then the old
man, prouder than ever of his daughters
husband. told him: I'll sell you the darned
block on your own terms-you.' Straight
goods?' asked the younger man. Yes was
the reply; what's your offer?' The younger
man thought a moment, then answered.:
I'll consider your wishes. I'll give you
800 cash. Done said the old man. The
second boy said the narrator in conclu-
sion, was named for his grandfather"

posed innovation.
II was settled a few days ago that Eva
Tanquay. the energetic comedienne who
has made such a great hit in THE Chap
eron'' during the last two seasons. will be
the leading soubrette with Frank Daniels
next year. The combintion is pretty sure to
prove an exceptionally good one, for both
the star and Miss Tanquay are unusually
clever eccentric comedians.

who grinds out so many musical comedies.

IL is called THE Airship Girl" and is to
have a Broadway production ere long-if
the fun is not prohibitive. And who but
Nellie O'Neill is TO be the star? Miss O'Neiil
is ~well-known in Indianapolis, where she
las. distinguished herself by deserving the
company playing 'Bolivar's Busy Day" at
the Park in order TO take a flying trip to
Pittsburg and back again-all within forty
eight hours. just by way of breaking up the
monotony OF life. She is a clever little singer
and dancer. and 1t is believed that she will
make a big hit in the new production, as
she is known scarcely at all in New York
outside OF the vaudeville and cheaper thea
tiers.
When Mrs. lie Moyne is next seen in In
dianapolis II will be in a new play from the
pen of Stanislaus STANCE. who has just
completed the manuscript of the piece. The
actress. whose last seasons comedy,
Among Those Present" proved such a dis
appointment, is enthusiastic over Mr..
STANCES latest work and fully believes
that she at last has a play that will develop
into a great success. Mrs. LIE Moyne will be
under the management Of Fred c. Whit
ney. who proposes to invest considerable
money in the enterprise.

The Closed Door.

I never crossed your threshold with a grief
But that l went without IL; never came
Heart-hungry but you fed me. eased the blame,
And gave the sorrow soace and relief.
I never left you but I took away
The love that drew me to your side again
Through that wide door that never could re-
main
Quite closed between US for a little day.
Oh, Friend. who gave and comforted. who knew
So over-well the want of heart and mind?
Where may / turn for solace now. or find
Relief from this unceasing loss of YOU?
Re II for fault. for folly, or for sin.
Oh, terrible my penance. and most sore
To face the tragedy of that closed door
Whereby / pass and may not enter II.

Frohman has been moved to the course he

every theater has a refreshment bar on

from these bars Is very great; In fact. the
bar privilege Is often more valuable than
the theater lease itself. In New York Mr..
Frohman Is obliged to watch his male pa-

EXISTENCE OF AN
OLD MAN AT CELTON
FOOD FROM MIRROR LAKE
Fresh Fish in Summer and Sailed in
Winter-vegetables, Fruits and
Berries Freely Used and Home
Made Clothing Worn-Feels
Richer Than Morgan.

Beatrice Fairfax in Chicago Ameri-
can-An old man with a long white
beard, that rested upon the blue flan-
mel that covered his broad bosom, sat
on a low porch of humble, implanted
cabin as the summer twilight faded
slowly into darkness. The chirping OF
unnumbered crickets and the occasion
al call of a whip-poor-will, cutting the
silence like a knife blade, were the
only sounds that broke the restful,
peaceful quiet of the approaching
night.
The old man with crossed legs,
leaned against one of the posts be-
meath the porch roof, smoking. He
gazed out past the country road before
his door to the deeply wooded hills
that cut jagged inky-black patch
out of the darkening horizon. He
smoked and gazed not idly nor dream
lily, but meditatively, with the even
running unruffled restfulness that
comes only as the reward of a life
lived close to nature. By his feet
sat a collie.
There" said my guide, "is man
that has lived ten years on So"
The old man not noticing our ap-
proach, did not stir.
What a perfect picture" was the
involuntary ejaculation that escaped
me as looked for the first time upon
the old pioneer.
"Yes," said the guide, with touch
of rather deep feeling. Would you
cam it Peace or 'Contentment'
EITHER or BOTH" was my answer.
The man in the doorway of the
picturesque cabin is George Skinner
or Grandpa" as he is affectonately
called by his neighbors. For forty
years he has lived in what is now
Delton. He has been poor-as the
world rates poverty. He has
had none of civilizations Injuries
nor comforts. For forty years he has
earned his food and returned to his
cabin to prepare it himself His bed
| is straw pallet The walls of his
little home are bare.
Zone day after Grandpa" Skinner
and l had become quite friendly
! spoke with him about this.
The old man turned his calm, blue
eyes upon me with smile.
my DEAR" he said, right here in
my little cabin l am richer than Pier
pont Morgan. My $40 has bought fol
me what all his millions cannot buy
ten years of perfect happiness"
How does George Skinner lirc ct
the rate of 81 year?
The answer is simple. He takes

completion of this process the opium
is ready for smoking and is put into
tins for sale. Opium thus prepared
has the same consistency as treacle
and can only be distinguished from il
by the smell.
In handling large quantities such
as are dealt with at the opium farm
here a more economical method is
used than that described above. In
what may be called the next-morning
filtration, after the opium has passed
through the lamp wick, there remains
sediment at the bottom of the pot
This sediment is added to the grains
Of the opium adhering to the joss
paper in the strainer and five or six
quarts of boiling water thus poured
over it running into a vessel placed
below to receive it. This opium
water after being allowed to settle all
night is added next morning TO the
opium water which has been filtered
through the lamp wick, and then goes
through the last thickening process
over the fire as described in the first
method. BY the adoption Of this pro
cess a great saving Is affected in the
large factories through the utilization
OF the refuse precipitated from the
first filtration. Any sediment left
over after this Is thrown away

With The CLERGY.

Professor Bryce, in his biographical
study of Bishop Fraser OF Manchester,
tells of a clergyman of Frasers do
cese who had knocked a man down
who had insulted him. The bishop
wrote him a letter of reproof, pointing
out that exposed as the Church OF
England was to much criticism on all
careful of their demeanor The Of
fender replied by saying: Il must re-
gretfully admit that, being grossly In
suited and forgetting in the heat of the
moment the critical position of the
Church of England, | did knock the
man down." etc. Fraser was delighted
with the turning of the tables on him
self, and afterward invited the clergy
man to visit him.
But while the Presbyterian church
has not grown rapidly in membership,
its members have given most literally
to mission work Last year 1929, 321
was given for home missions, the
largest amount in the history of the
denomination. On the other hand, the
contributions of Episcopalians for mis-
sion work are decreasing, at least in
the dioceses around New York A re-
port just issued states that many OF
the churches here and in this vicinity
have given less than half what they
were asked for general mission work

CURIOUS SALT MONEY,

For standard money the people of
Abyssinia use the Marie Theresa 1880
dollars but for small change a very
different coin is resorted to.
This is no other than bar of hard
crystallized salt about ten inches long
and two and a half broad and thick,
slightly tapering toward the end Five
of these bars go for dollar People
are very particular about the standard
of fineness of the currency. If it does
not ring like metal when struck with
the finger nail or if it is cracked or
Clipped they will not take it. It is a
token of affection when friends meet
to give each other lick of their re-
spective bars, and in this way the
values of the bar is decreased.

workmen on his estate at Worsley did
not return to work after dinner as
promptly as they left off when the
clock struck twelve. When he rerlon-

twelve, they often failed to hear the
single stroke of one. The Duke Of
Bridgewater quickly found a remedy
for this difficulty. He had clock
made that would strike thirteen times

Do not neglect, from the Puritanic
notion that she may grow vain, to in.
struct your little daughter in the
proper care of face and form. Are
you not sending her to school to have
her mind developed? And should she
grow to womanhood with defects in
features or form that you might have
helped her to reduce, If not alto
gether obliterate, will she not have
cause to murmur?
Artists frequently speak of the diff
ficulty OF finding woman model with
n perfect arm. This is the require
ment; Measured from the armpit to
the wrist joint it should be twice the
length of the head. and the upper
part of the arm should be large. full
and well-rounded. The forearm must
not lie too fiat not nearly so fiat as a
mans for instance, From a well
nodded shoulder the whole arm should
taper in long graceful curves to q
symmetrical anl rounded wrist. Cor
rectness of form is not the only thing
necessary for good arm. The owner
must possess the power OF expression
in her arms. Those nationalities whict
show the most expression in theil
arms are the Spanish, French anC
Italians. The warmesr admirer o.
Sarah Bernhard would not claim that
she had beautiful arms, yet no one
could say that the divine Sarah evel
appears ungainly in consequence.

PAPER NAPERY.
Some Hints That viii Prove Bene-
fetal to Housekeepers.

Artistic accessories of the table, in
ramequin and sherDet cups, are now
within the reach of every housekeeper
since they are made of paper and at
most reasonable prices. The hostess
who has seen her most cherished piece
of lace or embroidery ruined by a
dainty doilies a boon indeed, and for
a trihe extra she can have her mono
gram on each piece. The beautiful
Teneriffe drawn work is wonderfully
Initiated, as we'll as the old English
crochet work.
They are proof against liquids and
hot yiands, despite their fragile ap-
pearance, and there is no suggestion
of soddenness. as they are not filed
until time for serving. Salad and ice
cream cases come in pleasing variety
of forms and coloring, so it is possible
to carry out a color scheme at slight
expense. Strawberry ice served in a
green cup is suggestive of the month
of roses. and for July there are mum.
Der of patriotic devices.
For children's parties these paper
dishes, supplemented by paper nap
kins of good quality will relieve the
anxious mother of all worry over
breakage and stains. While for pic

breakage is done away with but the
