She really occupies place analogous

aged widow who has remained true to
her principles IS regarded as holy

mands the respect of saint from all

kodoI Dyspepsia Cure
THE GOOD OLD WAY.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe is
like a fire, the s 'oner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower it.
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give good old-fashioned reliable treat
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmothers, backed by Boschee, 3
German syrup, which was always
literally used in connection with the
home treatment of colds and is still in
greater household favor than any Known
remedy. But even without the appli-
cation of the old-fashioued aids German
Syrup will cure a severe cold in quick
time 1t will cure colds In children or
grown people. 1t relieves the congested
organs, allays the irritation, aid effec-
lively stops the cough. Any child will
take it. 1t Is invaluable in household

THE ICE EXPERIMENT

wire to the cord and lay the wire
across the top of the ice, with the
weight pulling 1t from below.
Now watch the wire!
Pulled by the heavy weight below

shown In the illustration down. down.
down, through the cake of ice until at
last 1t will cut through and fall to the
ground.
Does this leave the cake of ice In
two pieces as If cut with a saw
No; that is the wonderful part of
this experiment The ice was melted
by the passage Of the wire On other
words by the heavy pressure) and
froze again Immediately, and the piece
of ice remained whole and entire.
Only slight scar is left to show the
path followed by the wire.
So this proves that ice actually melts

PERFECT ENGLISH.
A Few Sentences That Were written
by Abraham Lincoln.

by Abraham Lincoln.
1t Is not very we'll known that In
the hall of one of the great colleges Of
England there hangs frame inclosing
a few sentences of which Abraham
Lincoln Is the author. They are con-
sidered the best English that was ever
written. You or l might read them
over and call them very simple indeed.
And they are SO simple that any child
who reads at all can read and under
stand them. That is one thing that
makes them great 1t was his being
simple and plain that made Lincoln
himself great.
Now. here Is a little paragraph by
Lincoln which he made a rule of his
conduct Suppose you try to write 1t
over and see how much you can I'm
prove 1t. See If each word Is the right
one and try to find better word for
the place. Notice how simple this is.
All but two are words of a single syl-
liable:
II am not bound to win, but | am
bound to be true. l am not bound to
succeed but | am bound to live up to
the light | have | must stand with
anybody that stands right-stand with
him while he is right and part with
him when he goes wrong"

An Iowa lawyer tells the following
story of his first months of practice.
He went to a small country town and
secured an office room, In front of
which was placed the usual sign. Then
he sat down and waited for his clients
to appear, all the while feeling very
much the dignity of his position. The
day passed. and no one called and an
other and another, until weeks went
by, and still there had been no client
One morning, however, he was at the
depot to attend upon the arrival of tie
daily accommodation train, quite an
important function of the town, when
a handsome. well dressed young lady
approached and inquired, lis this Mr..
smith, At once the feeling of impor-
lance returned, and In his blandest
tone he replied: 1T Is, madam. What
can do for you?
Can you tell me how much 1t will
cost to send SOW and pigs down to
the next stationF"-Grpe Bag.

Chairs are arranged as in "going to

The number of chairs Is one short Of
the number of children.
Each child is named after some arti-
Gle that one would take or have to do
with on a fishing trip
The child who is chosen or counted
out tells the story of his adventures
when going a-fishing, bringing In the
name of each player, AS his name Is

Among the qualities possessed by the
Yuruk hospitality is no doubt promi-
nent. Deprived by the very influence
of his adventurous life Of all the fierce
instincts which characterize the Turco-
mans, restricted because Of his occupa-
lions to the woods, the plains or the
mountains constantly exposed to the
inclemency Of the seasons. TO dangers
and enemies of all kinds the Yuruk
has conceived q generous and noble
idea of hospitality, and be practices it
with disintereStedness and pleasure
His tent, whether In his presence or
absence, is always opened TO the tray-
eler, and food and drink In abundance
are given him. The tents OF the Yu
ruks are square and made Of a sort Of

The Pench.

Peaches are tonic, an aperient, II
food and drink combined, or. to put
it briefly, they are meat and medicine.
A good meal may be made on cut
peaches with cream and sugar, bread
and butter After meal of this va
riety Il person will feel more like at
tending to the duties of the afternoon
than if he or she INDUCED in heavy
foods. Peaches are good before break
fast and after dinner, They are good
for the digestion, good for the blood
and good for the complexion. Some
people eat them without cream OF
sugar and with good results. The
fruit is SO rich in sugar and acid that
1t preserves its flavor long while, but
to get the full benefit ii should be
eaten as soon as 1t is cut. Richness of
the nose due to congestion, intiamed
compleXons scrofulous and bilious
tendencies are said to be materially in
huenced by liberal consumption Of
this luscious fruit.

One of the devices of the smuggler
is to bring in rings, watches and other
compact articles of value concealed in
books. A thick. innocent looking vol
ume is selected for the purpose, and a
hole is followed out In the center
large enough to receive the struggled
goods The book is then closed and
tied up. Its weight offers no clew to
the presence of the valuables, even if
the inspector should take 1t in his
hand, and q book is of course likely
to pass muster even with the most
careful customs agents

BIunders by NoveIists.

Novelists, even of eminence, are
prone to make plumbers Sir Walter
Besant, in For Faith and Freedom
wrote after the Eykins had settled In
Providence, "Barnaby soon grew tired
of this quiet life and went on board a
steamer bound for England, promising
that we should hear from him." This
was in 1856 or 1857, and the first
steamer from America to this country
did not reach Liverpool till July, 1919.
Wilkie Collins also made numerous
amazing blunders. In The Duel In
Herne Wood he makes the story open
with the receipt of telegram and the
period Is 1917, when twenty years had
to elapse before the first Geographic
wire was laid. Three of the characters
also talk of taking the express train
to London" in defiance of the fact that
the first railway to London was not
opened till 1888

earth is Chatham island, of the coast
of Ecuador This island lies coo miles
west of Guayaquil, and the equator

In cats, every one of which is black.
These animals live In the crevices OF
the lava foundation near the coast and
subsist by catching fish and crabs IN
stead of rats and mice. Other animals
found on this island are horses. cattle,
dogs, goats and chickens, all Of which

A writer In the Jewish magazine, the
Menoinh. says that there were richer
men before the Christian era than there
are now. He estimates horah's for
tune at $3,00OUUOO0, and says that
Solomon, after spending $250,oo0,o0o
on his temple was still worth between
$500 O00,oO0 and 1000, 600 In Ro-
man times there were three Jews In Je-
rusalem Sho between them offered to
spend $1O0,000.OO0 for twenty-one years
in feeding the Inhabitants Of the city
rather than surrender the city. One
Of these Jews, Nikodemon, gave his
daughter a dowry Of 1926. 100000.

Helping IA Composer of Music

Haleyy was somewhat Of pedant
in writing music. He worked very
slowly and deliberately and made hun
dreds Of changes before he was sat
isfied. When ideas would not come
at his bidding he employed a very
singular aeans to help his genius
along. A kettle filled with water was
put over fire, and the monotonous
singing Of the boiling water acted as
a wonderful stimulant on his magma
ton. While composing, his brother,
Leon Halevy, was always with him,
doctoring the verses of the text and
adding and scratching syllables wher-
ever it was necessary. For this reason
he was called text surgeon" among
his friends Leon Halevy WAS by no
means a prepossessing man, and the
poet Heine is responsible for the fol-
lowing description of him: "He looks
as If his brother had composed him"
