An Exclusive Elevator.

There is perhaps no elevator in the
world more exclusive than that provid-
ed at the capitol for the supreme court
of the United States. That elevator
can be used by exactly eleven people,
and no one else would for a moment
consider entering it except as the guest
of one of these eleven privileged gentle
men. The fortunate eleven are the nine
justices of the United States supreme
court, the clerk and the marshal of the
court. The elevator goes from the
ground floor of the capitol to the main
floor. on which is located the supreme
court of the United States. 1t is a
small elevator, so that, with its con-
ductor, three portly forms of justices
Of the supreme court of the United
States would fill it. 1t is one of the
very latest designs of electric elevators
and is finished in magnificent STYLE

Stephenson's birthplace.

In red tiled two story house on the
road between Newcastle and Hexham,
England, was born George Stephenson,
the inventor Of the first practical loco
motive, on June 8, 1871. He earned his
first regular money-a shilling a week
for looking after cows. and he was
eighteen before he learned to read. The
modelling of engines in clay was his
favorite occupation as boy, and when
he grew up toward manhood he had
charge Of engines and displayed his in
ventive genius in their improvement.
AT last, in 1918. he produced his first
locomotive, which he called travelling
engine. Lord Ravensworth was called
a fool for advancing money for the con-
struction of locomotive. A few years,
however, proved that Lord Ravens
worth was not SO foolish as people sup
posed, for in 1926 the Stockton and OAR
lington line was opened for traffic.

Cicero and His Daughter.

History abounds with examples Of
the love that has existed between ia
Their and daughter which proved su-
perior to the changes Of time and for
tune, defying even death itself, and en-
tering into the records Of humanity,
imperishable and immortal.
One of the most beautiful instances
was the love Of Cicero for Tullia. She
was a woman Of high attachments and
exalted character, with qualities Of
heart and mind that peculiarly fitted
her to be her fathers intimate COM
panion.
After her death he could find neither
consolation for her loss nor distraction
for his grief. Affairs of state, weighty
matters of political and personal in
terest, even the sympathy of Brutus
and Caesar, could not dispel the melan-
choly that settled down upon his soul
and forced him for time into retire
ment. He wrote of her in these touch
ing words: "a daughter had in whose
sweet conversation I could drop all my
cares and troubles. But now every
thing is changed" sit is all over with
me, Atticus l feel it more than ever
now that 1 have lost the only being
who still bound me to life"

Beware of what you think, for what
you think quite as much as what you
do molds your character. Wrong acts
persisted in will wreck any life, but
wrong thoughts have just as sure an
effect. 1t not infrequently happens
that people who live fairly good lives.
so far as their actions go, do not feel it
necessary to set so close guard on
their thoughts. These are hidden, and
Of what harm is it to occasionally cher
ish vulgar thought if one does not
allow it to escape in action? OF what
harm to hate if one does not show it?
To imagine oneself committing wrong
acts if one does not actually commit
them? But the laws of life say that
every thought affects the whole being.
AS mans heart is, so will he be. Evil
thoughts gradually undermine the
character, and some day these thoughts
will burst into action which is IRENE
diable.-Womans Home Companion.

Saved Ann Il Ducking.

A colonial shrew who was threatened
with the ducking stool was once saved
by this plea:
"You wish to duck Ann Willott to
cure herr" her defender declared. Now
if she be not cured where is the gain in
ducking her? And if she be cured all
the women who now keep a guard over
their tongues through distaste to be
likened to such known, notorious and
contemplate scold as Ann will do so
no longer; but although it is not like
any should become such as she. yet all
will scold little more than now they
do, the check of her example being re-
moved. Now, it is better that Ann, be-
ing single woman without family to
aff1ict, should go UNPUBLISHED and I'M
ducked, but despised by ALL and wag
her tongue as she WILL standing there
in for the whole town, than that she
should be silenced and the tongues of
other women run more free"
This argument seems to have pre-
vailed, for Ann Willot was never
ducked.-Youths Companion.

The Electrical Current.

The path traversed by a heavy cur
rent Of electricity in passing through
the body is a matter of great impor-
tance. The most dangerous is from
one hand to the other, because the re-
sistance Of the path Is low and because
the current passes near the heart.
Hence it is good rule in handling live
conductors to use but one hand. An
important rule to observe in rescuing a
person in contact with a live wire and
when it is impossible to cut off the cur
rent is to push the victim off with one
foot Even should the current pass
from one foot to the other through the
rescuer the resistance Of the path is
considerable, and as the current does
not pass near the heart serious injury
is not likely to result.

The Essay on Man That Was Written

of a London paper, hearing Lord Duff

late Sheridan lie Fanu: Sheridan's IA

was Il great stickler for punctuality.
q regard his son did not share. One
morning young Sheridan. then about
eight years old. descended unusually
late for breakfast and was met at the
door by his father, watch in hand. "Is
this right. sir: is this rght?" demanded
the prelate in stern tones. Il don't
know. SIR replied Sheridan. looking
at the watch and pretending to think
the question applied to it and not to his
conduct. but l rather think it's fast"
For this impertinence young Sheri-
dan was condemned to write an essay
on THE Three Ages Of Man" Here
is what he wrote:
"There are three ages of man.
redistribution he is engaged in plan.
ming every conceivable mode of wick
edness. This is known as the age of
innocence.
Second. he is putting his
nefarious plans into operation. This
is called the prime Of manhood.

into port at Santos one day with a crew
that was little short of mutinous owing
to the fact that the captain was too
sparing of the rationS. The ship had a
bad name among sailors at the best,
and as soon as she was anchored the
entire crew cleared out. For three
weeks after she had discharged and got
her new cargo she lay there with no
crew to take her to sea. At last the
captain went to some of the crimps OH
shore and told them to round up crew

men around the docks offering big
wages to any of the loungers who
would go aboard the vessel to rig

reviewers and rifles by the officers,
and the anchor was weighed, and the
Nova Scotia ship stood out to sea. her
unwilling crew leaving families behind
without even chance to let them
know what had happened. The next
port was Sydney, and the next YokO-
hama, then San Francisco, then Val
paraiso, then Lisbon, and for those men
who stayed with the ship it was just
two and half years until she went to
Grande du Sui, the nearest port home.
Many of them, however, had cleared
out and gone home in other ships long
before that.-Broughton Brandenburg

WRITER'S THOUGHT CRAMP
The Way the Flood of Inspired Ideas
Ebbs and Flows,

IL the fiction writer has his delicious
moments, when he tastes the Joys
which come with the excitement Of
creative composition-and these he I'M
doubtedE has-also he knows distress
Ing periods of mental apathy.
He has been working away at top
speed, full of gladness in that subtle
fabric which his pen weaves in the
warp and wool of paper and ink. His
head is packed with inspired ideas. like
gift box from the gods. His hopes
ride high. His ambitions scrape the
clouds.
Then something happens. 1t is not a
snap, break, crash-nothing so tan
gfble. 1t is just ceasing. Abruptly.
unexpectedly, all his fine thoughts van
ish. No longer is life country of
majestic, white robed heights and al
Turing purple toned valleys. All is
fat and gray and bleak.
Just about now, if the writer only
knew it, is a most excellent time to go
fishing.
At last. baffled, discouraged. heart
sick, he sits with his head in his hands,
contemplating with foolish self pity
the melancholy spectacle Of himself.
But like drought and flood war and
pestilence and all other ills great and
small, it passes. And he knows not
how or when it goes. Days after he
wakes up to find himself, pen in hand,
hard at work again. OF it's own ac-
cord apparently the machine has set
itself in motion.-Sewell Ford in The

When Squirrels Were Numerous.

Accounts of early writers show that
squirrels must formerly have been
amazingly numerous. Goldman says
that the gray coat was a fearful
scourge to colonial farmers and that
Pennsylvania paid $4,000 in bounties
for their scalps in 1749 alone. This
meant the destruction of 64O,OO within
a comparatively small district. In the
early days of western settlement reg
ular hunts were organized by the in
habitants, who would range the woods
in two companies from morning till
night, vying as to which band should
bring home the greatest number of tro-
phies. The quantities thus killed are
almost incredible now.

Colombian Treaty Ratified.

The treaty with Colombia, provid.
ing for the construction Of the Pana-
ma canal, was ratified by the senate
on Tuesday. This was one of the
two measures for which the senate
was summoned in extra session, and
it was by far the most important.
The vote on the treaty WAS 70 to .,
the smsllness Of the negative vote
being a consummate evidence Of the
uselessness of the opposition carried
on by Senator Morgan and a few Of
his associates. On the final vote the
two senators from Alabama, the two
senators from Virginia and Senator
Teller of Colorado were the ones re
corded in opposition to the treaty.
The views of Mr.. Morgan and his
colleagues are entitled to respect, but
they are certainly not entitled to
such a degree of consideration as to
warrant the delay of public business
for several weeks and the calling Of
an extra session CT the senate. How
ever sincere and logical may have
been the reasons for Mr.. Morgsn's
opposition, we would much prefer
to trust the judgment Of the 70 sen
ators that voted in favor Of the treaty
rather than that of the five that vot-
ed against it.
If there was any defect in the
treaty or any good reason why it
should not pc approved, they will
soon be disclosed, but in the mean
