A FABLE
By Carolyn Wells

A placid ant once went to rest;
No vain ambitions stirred her breast;
All petty troubles she ignored
She calmly slept and gently snored
This ant, so worthy of esteem,
Dreamed an extraordinary dream
1t was peculiar, you must grant
She dreamed she was an elephant.
If interested in the occult,
You'll be surprised at the result.
The ant, SO modest hitherto,
Just longed to have her dream come true.
And as, of course, it never could,
That ant, so gentle and SO good,
Grew sad and morbid, and became
A peevish, discontinued dame.
MORAL
Let's not be sad and blue
Because of dreams that can't come true.

regular incumbent of the pulpit, who gets

slider who receives the startling sum of
four thousand six hundred dollars for
his trouble. And this is the way of it:
In 1000 there died in Elberfeld one
Baron Favart, wealthy citizen who be-
queathed his money to the Protestant
Church on condition that it should be
invested and the interest given annually
to some clergyman chosen by lot from
those holding the poorest hvings in the
see. In return he must preach a short
sermon extolling the good deeds of the
dead Baron. In the process of the suns
the investment, which was made in real
estate, has increased in value and the
income is nearly five thousand dollars
HELPMATES OF SCIENTIFIC MEN
GONE ten years ago a young Russian
y woman, Mademoiselle Marie Sklo-
dowska, took up her residence in Paris
for the purpose of studying science.
From her father, professor in War
saw, she had inherited a passion for
practical chemistry and mechanics
In Paris she met and ultimately married
man of similar enthusiasts to her
own, poor in pocket but rich in intellect
The result of this union was the greatest
scientific discovery of the age, that of
radiurn. But it was not till many years
of laboratory work in common that Mr..
and Mrs. Curie made the discovery which
has a1iza5 them
England also has its scientific couples,
who, though they have not yet made any
discoveries SO startling as that of radium,
have still done valuable work There
are Sir William Higgins and his wife,
for example. Sir William is president of
the Royal Society. Nearly fifty years
ago he built and equipped private
astronomical observatory on Tulse Hill,
where he has lived and labored ever
since. His most valued assistant is
Lady Higgins, who has exhibited extra
ordinary interest in astronomy since her
girlhood Then there are Professor and
Mrs. Percy Falkland, both of whom have
devoted their lives to the study of
bacteria, and have elaborated on valu-
able monographs.

CURIOUS GLEANINCS
by, Penn Steele
TWO GREAT PEACEMAKERS

COMPARISONS have frequently been
- drawn between President Roosevelt
and Emperor William, the % War Lord "
of Europe. Now that Roosevelt has
earned the more renowned victories of
peace, why would it not be possible to es
tablish parallel between him and Will
lam uncle, King Edward VII. of England3
As far back as 1902 Lord Charles
Beresford, addressing a public meeting,
remarked that King Edward possessed
so large a fund of tact and such genial
personal manners that his intercourse
with foreign courts seemed likely to pro-
duce friendly relations between all the
great European nations. Hence he sug
gested that it would not be unsuitable
if he acquired the gratifying title of
Edward the Peacemaker. 1t was then
remembered that this title was one which
King Edward had already borne in the
private circle of the royal family
At the time of his residence at Cam
bridge, the Prince Consort, his father,
had an interview with the Vice-Chancellor
to arrange the program Of daily life for
the royal freshman. In the course of
conversation Prince Albert, after settling
the details for the curriculum, touched on
the characteristics of his son.
In the royal nursery" said he, =" and
afterward in the school-room, my son
bore the double name of the Truth
speaker and the Peacemaker."

WHERE OLD MAIDS ABOUND

A COMPARISON of census statistics
n shows that there are more old
maids in Bermuda than in any other part
of the Western Hemisphere. The reason
is not far to seek. Bermuda being under
English laws-only more so, as BELTS
an intensely loyal colony-no alien can
acquire title to land there, either By
purchase or by inheritance. Not only
that, but if woman marries foreigner
she not only loses her property, but be-
comes incapable of inheriting any. Ameri-
cans and other aliens form considerable
part of the floating population.
Bermudan men may marry alien girls
with impunity, and frequently do so,
thus reducing the percentage of marriage
able bachelors Occasionally a Ber-
mudan maid will renounce her birth
right for loves sake; but as a rule the
charms of penniless maidens are not
sufficient for young men to desire them
for wives. Thus many girls are doomed
to spinsterhood by the laws of the land

A bunch of laughs had been wedged

And he laughed as hard as he could:

CURIOUS ANNUAL SERMONS

OF all the mayors of London, save Sir
~ Richard Wilmington (of Whiting
ton and His Cat fame), the one whose
name is most likely to survive the CEN
turtles is Sir John Gayer who held the Office
in 646-47. To be sure, his fame will re-
main restricted to the parish of St.
Catherine Cree Church in London; there,
however, it will be immortal.
When Sir John died, in December,
1913, he left a bequest of two hundred
pounds to this church on condition that,
on every recurring October 10. a sermon
should be preached within its walls COM
memorative of his escape from a lion
IN the deserts of Arabia. The incident
occurred ten years before he became
He was travelling in the wilderness,
alone and unarrned, when suddenly
lion appeared in his path. Falling upon
his knees, Gayer sought help from
Providence. The help was granted. IN
used to the sight of a praying English
man, the lion merely shifted contemp-
tuously and turned away. Thereupon
Gayer vowed that on his safe return to
England he would commemorate his
providential deliverance by some act
of benevolence. The so-called Lion
Sermon" is the result. The preacher,
it is stipulated, must always dwell upon
this episode and give some particulars
about the life of the donor.
A sermon still more remarkable, in all
its attendant circumstances, is that
which is preached every year the first
Sunday in June at the Protestant Church
in Elberfeld, Germany. While the
Lion Sermon" is delivered by the

and Portland by the county are finish
ed and work was started on the third
one yesterday. The work on this last
one will be rushed so as It will be fin-

comes down the creek. These arches,
although the first cost is heavy, will
prove to be cheap in price In the end
as they will not be washed out.
The county has been put to great
expense in the past by food waters
washing out the wooden bridges.
These will no longer be needed. The
work OF putting in the big sixty-foot
arch across Hardscrabble creek has
not been started on account Of 90 much
