AGAIN THE CHURCH JANlToF
This Time He Defeats Prof. Nesbitt'a
Intention to Give
Lecture.

The potentlality Of the church Janitor as
a factor in the affairs of men, women and
vested choirs was made patent again last
night to about 400 people who went to
kountze Memorial church to hear a lecture
and didn't.
Prof. Nesbitt OF et-Frenchy- quick re-
nown was to have shown an audience over
Scotland, his native land, in ninety
minutes, Western Union time. The an
nouncement drew q large number of those
who had been In his classes or become
interested in MIN through paying family
tuition They came early and found the
church dark. They waited long and the
church stayed just as dark as at the be-
ginning. They said all they could in
French by way OF entertaining each other
and then as their knees began to ache
they said things to themselves in smoth-
cred English. 1t really doesn't matter what
1t was they said.
After a while some grew bold and tried
the doors. They shook and pulled and rat
tied, but they did not pound. That would
have been too suggestive of knocking and
no gentleman will knock at church--at
least not ina easaring OF those who ma,
not agree with him.
Eventually an investigation was started
1t was thorough, conscientious and pursued
with desire to injure no one, but to nscer-
tain the real cause of the disappointment
AS is usually the case with investigation,
the persons 1t might satisfy were gone be-
fore II bore fruit. The fruit It finally die
bear was the finding that the ianitor-evei

The Way TO Float.

This is the advice of an old swimmer
to those who cannot swim. Any hui
man being who will have the presence
of mind to clasp the hands behind his
back and turn the face toward the
zenith may float at ease and in perfect
safety in toeraby still water When
you first find yourself in deep water
you have only to consider yourself an
empty pitcher. Let your mouth and
nose, and not the top of your heavy
head, be the highest part of you and
you are safe. But thrust up one of
your bony hands and down you GO
turning UP the handle tips over the
pitcher There are reason and logic
in this.

The following Characterization OF the
Arab penchant for not telling the truth
IS from a paper by Or. q. Saint-Paul
on the Tunisians: Arab lying Is ex-
asperating. 1t is absurd and victorious
1t triumphs easily over the critical
sense and the habit Of scientific rea-
soning. 1t is sometimes childish. Your
native servants will never be taken
unawares. You forbid one Of them to
smoke in your dining room and you
surprise him there with a cigarette In
his mouth. You were smoking No
4 saw you impossible You had II
cigarette In your mouth; you are hid
| ing 1t In your hand; there 1t is Then
| God put 1t In my hand The native
denies always. Taken red handed he
denies Beneath blows he denies
Pain Is sometimes powerless to make
| him confess, even at the point of death
| This obstinacy Is due in part to the
high Idea he has of his dignity. His
pride forbids him a confession, be
cause the avowal of his lying is in
hnitely humiliating In his eyes The
| fear of losing face Is all powerful in
him. To recognize a fault is more
| shameful than to have committed It,.
Hence the peculiar obstlnacy of the
native In denying, even when 1t would
| be to his interest to confess. an OBJ
stinncy not manifested in other ways"

In Fee, the capital of Morocco, most
of the houses consist of several stories,
each being provided with light We
randa running round it and connecting
the rooms. All the windows and doors
open out into the patio, or courtyard,
the window openings in the upper sto-
ries being covered with close trellis
work. All the houses have fiat roofs,
with a wall some four to six feet high
running around and from p. IN. until
sunset the roofs are given over to the
ladies' exclusively, who can then walk
about and take the fresh air without
being seen by any of the opposite sex.
This reservation Is law which is
never broken, and no man would be
guilty Of being seen on his or on any
other roof during the forbidden hours
Owing TO the fact that the women of
the house are not allowed to be seen
by any other man than their lord and
muster all domestic offices are situated
away from the house proper. In many
of the larger houses. besides the water
fountains, others playing scent or
scented water are to be found. Sec
tons of the courtyard also are slightly
sunk. and these portions are filled with
scented oil, which is used to perfume
the rooms The Moors are exception
ally particular in discardng their foot
gear before entering a room or cross
ing a rug or carpet. They even change
slippers before entering the courtyard
from the street Thus the houses are
kept beautifully clean and sweet and
are not, as many people would suppose,
musty or close.

duty to correct her, saying that the
name was pronounced "Byard." A
few days later he sent her a note ask

to dinner mt his club. In the reply that
she wrote she said she would have

blended with sympathy. Tolerance al

seeks to convert others from error by

by leading them to broader lines Of
