Hope On.

There was never a day so misty and gray
That the blue was not somewhere above
it,:
There is never a mountain top ever so
bleak,
That some little flower does not love it.
There was never a night so dreary and
That the stars were not somewhere
shining:
There is never a cloud so heavy and
black
That it has not a silvery lining.
There is never a ,~waiting-time. weary and
long,
That viii not sometime have an ending:
The most beautiful part of the landscape
is where =
The sunshine and shadows are blending.
Into every life some shadows will fall.
But Heaven sends the sunshine of love:
Through the riffs in the clouds we may
If we will
See the beautiful blue above.
Then let us hope on though the way be
long
And the darkness be gathering fast:
FOR the turn in the road is a little way
Whore the home-lights will greet us at
last.

TIE SULTAN'S JEWELS.
A Glimpse into the Treasury of tha
Monarch,

Monarch.
A party Of American tourists saw
the jewels in the Sultan's treasury re-
Gently, says the Washington Times.
The royal throne of Persia, captured
by the Turks in 1914. about half the
size Of an ordinary bedstead, and the
footstOol accompanying it, we're COW
cred with beaten fire gold, and the
entire. surface of each was thickly
studded with precious Jewels, chiefly
diamonds, emeralds and sapphires.
There were also some pearls. rubies,
and other minor precious stones. The
estimated value of this throne and &C
compartments alone is 5000 900.
The turbans. official paraphernalia
and arms of the former sultans are
also there. glittering with enormous
precious jewels of every kind in every
part. The throne OF Suleiman II. is
also there. Respondent with the most
valuable of precious Jewels.
There is also a writing desk or sec.
rotary, Of ordinary size of the same
character, and hundreds on hundreds
Of other minor objects of public and
private character. made Of the finest
materials, most perfectly, and decorat-
ed in every part with the same kind
and quality of most precious jewels,
from g finger ring and a pipe to a sad
die, sword and sceptre.
For example, there are many coffee,
tea ard other drinking sets. made Of
sold, porcelain and a variety Of other
fine materials beautiful in form, style
ard workmanship, whose decorative
figures are worked out in a p~rofusion

edges of the cups, mugs CT tankards,
as the cas- may be, being embossed
with diamonds il such a manner as
to make them complete circles of gilt

To enumerate all the priceless OBJ
jects which the sultan's treasury con-
tain would sreQuire a small library of
books. Suffice to say that our party
of tourists was of the opinion, ex-
pressed then and there, while viewing
ChS treasury ) contents, LEaC what we
saw with VI own eyes was Of sufi-
Gent value. in dollars ard cents, to
pay of the entire Turkish debt, and
that such an exhibition of splendor
was a sad commentary On the, general
status of the people there. a large
part of whom lived in abiect squalor
and want close to the very doors of
the treasury.
Oriental splendor as experienced
and illustrated by the Sultan of Tur-
key is not myth, but a distressing real

wretched people. Wherever he is there

a Lucky inspiration.

He had studied by himself, and
came up fer examination to college
with inadequate preparation. He ap.
preached ancient history with fear and
doubt, for he had had little time to
stuff himself with the history of the
Caesars.
The paper contained a question at
which the young man looked with dis
may.
What can you say about Caligula?"
He did not remember that Caligula
was the worst of a long line of mad
and bad Roman emperors.
But a witless inspiration came to
him, of the sort that often saves the
young and the ignorant. He wrote:
The less said about Caligula. the
better"

IRoa AND STEEL PRODUCTION.
Comparisons That Give an Idea Of lts
Magnitude.

To realize the magnitude OF the
production Of iron aid steel In this
country during one year., one has to
employ much larger standards Of com
psrison than pounds and tons. For
instance a blast furnace large enough
to receive at one charge all the metal
mat passes through all the blast fur
naces OF the country in one year
would have to be built to contain
1000, COO, 600 cubic feet. Or to use
the slightly more conceivable compar-
ison, 1T would have to be twenty-four
times as large as the great pyramid of
Cheops. The coke used in the process
OF manufacture would, IL piled up In
q column 400 feet square, reach $500
feet up into the skies, and the iron
ore from which all the products are
made, would, if piled up in a column
one-rou-th of the bulk Of hat coke,
reach just as high as the former
some 34,6S6,121 tons. If all the car
rails were rolled into one huge rail,
tho dimension would be l 1-5 miles
long, 81 feet high, 81 feet across the
base, and 43 feet across at the top,
being wide enough to accommodate a
locomotive and its tender. One huge
wire nail containing the metal an
nually drawn into such a form would
make a column 1000 feet high and 81
feet square, overlapping the renowned
Effel Tower at Paris. Tho cut nails
would reach to the heights of the
Washington monument, and would far
1vcrtop the Park Row building, the
ligbest in the world.

Precious Stones in This Country.

1t is a little strange" said Irving
/. Russell that the United States,
so far ahead in national of
every other part of the globe in all
essential things, Should be so deficient
as a producer of precious stones.
am of the opinion that there will be
a big discovery some day of the most
valued gems, probably in some put
of-the-way corner OF the land.
Il do not mean to intimate that we
nre exactly destitute of fine stones,
but that those found are mostly of in
ferior quality as compared with the
output of the old mines. In North Car
DINA a good many emeralds and ru-
bics and sapphires are to be had, but
they are not of sufficient value to
warrant cutting. Some very fine pearls
have been taken out of the shells
picked up in the streams of Arkansas,
and at n time the search for them
down there amounted to a craze.
Pearls, by the way, have gone UP in
price from 200 to 800 per cen in re-
cent years.
"A great many semi-precious stones
are mined in California, the turquoise
found out there being especially beau
tiful, but lacking in hardness. Tour
malines also come from California in
abundance "-Washington Post.

The body is remarkably well pre-
served to have lain in its present pc.
sition for SO many months, but the
features are not recognizable
The Identification was made by the
clothing and by articles Mr., Wentz
was known to have Ia his possession.
His spurs, riding trousers and leggings
were readily identified, while within a
few feet or bis body were a blue bor-
dered silk handkerchief bearing the in
itials "E, Il W." revolver, three
chambers Of which had been dis
charged the eyeglasses worn by the
Young man, and his cuffs, from which
pair Of valuable buttons had been
removed
The body lies as If Mr.. Wentz bad
fallen after struggle. The head rests
on piece Of log. while one leg is
doubled back under the body.
Position Of Body Indicates Murder.
The position Indicates murder There
are holes in the coat that appear to
have been made by bullets Every In
dication points to battle between
Mr. Wentz and his murderers, In which
the victim had fired three shots from
his revolver before he was killed
After receiving the fatal shots he
evidently staggered back from where
he had taken his stand and fell, thus
accounting for the distance between
where his body lies and where his re-
volver and eyeglasses were found
The absorbing question with the de-
tectives IL, Who murdered Mr.. Wentz?
The clews viii be taken up at once
with the hope Of running down the
murderers.
What is regarded as the most proba-
bic theory is that young Wentz was
the victim Of moonshiners. 1t Is known
that a band of these men cherished
enmity toward him on account Of the
killing Of their leader by Chief Of Po-
lice King Of Stone Gap only a few
weeks before the disappearance Of Mr..
Wentz. The moonshiners were raidSl
by King and his posse in accordance
with the wishes Of Mr. Wentz, who
was determined to break Up moon
shining on the premises Of his compa-
ny, because It was seriously interfer-
ing with faithful service By the com
pany's employees.
In the tight with the moonshiners
Chief Of Police King, who killed their
leader. was in turn shot aud killed by
the dying man as he fell to his knees.
