Who Is 10 Blone!

The Clifton Hill (KanD RustIer
takes this view Of mans injustice and
woman's unfatling love: Did YOU
ever hear OF ii man trying to lift an
unfortunate woman when she falls
from the pedestal OF honesty and vir-
tue? Nary lift Too much Adamic
blood still creeping through our veins
When once a woman trips and falls
from her high honored position. she
stands in q hell from which no human
will stop 10 lift her out; husband
brother. father. all are deaf to her
cries from that hour
But on the other hand, how be it?
We have seen men as low as it is pos
sibIe for men 10 fail. We have seen
the wife lift UP the husband from the
gutter and press him TO her heart
while tears and sympathy. love and
anguish tTickle down her cheek in pro-
fusion.
we have seen the wife follow the
husband through life in one constant
Whirl of misery and misfortune, and
when at the gates Of hell they are sep
arated would stand and wiring her
hands in mortal agony because the
she could go no further.
We have seen the mother follow
her son through the paths of crime
and vice. shame and degradation
through which a man was never
known 10 follow woman. yet who is
to blame for the downfall Of woman?
Who? Let the angels of heaven be
the jury and God Almighty the
Judge.

The Care fo1 Al Ills.

\ physician in search for remedies
for human ills finds that laughter
stands very high in the list of prophy-
Tactics. The effect of mere cheerfulness
as = health promoter is well known, but
ar occasional outbUFst of downright
laughter is the heroic remedy. 1t is Il
matter OF everyday experience, says
the authority in question, that one feels
the better for q good laugh, an explo-
sion of laughter being in truth q nerve
storm, comparable in its effect TO a
thunderstorm in nature, doing good by
dissipating those oppressive clouds of
care which sometimes darken the men
tai horizon This authority assures us
that the memorable adage, Laugh and
grow fat" rests on a sound philO-
sCphical basis. Portly people are not
gwen to laughter because they are fat,
they are fat because they laugh.

You might exhaust yourself looking
in atlas and gazetteer for the city Of Is,
because it is purely legendary. Here
is Il brief statement of the legend
THE magnificent city of Is was stu
afed on the coast of Brittany where
now is the bay Of Douarnenez. Ii
was built below the level of the sea
and surrounded by massive walls
Here in the fifth century was the
court of the piouS King Gradlon ard
of his wicked daughter, Dahut, who
had pleasant habit of throwing her
suitorS into we'll when their society
became tireSome. One of her favoriteS
asked her to obtain for him the silver
key which fastened the sluice gates in
the city wall. Dahut accordingly stole
the key from her fathers neck While he
slept The lover unlocked the gates ami
the sea rushed ia and overwhelmed the
city and its inhabitants, including the
princess. Only tile king escaped. The
Breton "2sants say that the spirits OF
The drowned still haunt the spot, and
the bells Of the submerged city are
often heard ringing at low tide"

A Hanging Bridge.

When the Denver and Rio Grande
prepared to build through the Rockies
engineers said the canyon of the Ar
kansas could never be penetrated its
entire length. There was one spot In
this awe inspiring chasm where there
was not room for Il roadbel on either
side Of the stream. The walls of the
canyon came down to the swift current
of the Arkansas without footholl for 4
man on either side. But an engineer
suggested a hanging bridge suspended
between the walls of the canyon. The
bridge was built with supports i'm
bedded in the solid rock. and across it
the heavy transcontinental trains fit
daily, with nothing but the slender
ironwork between the river and the
top of the canyon, 1900 feet above.
Great iron braces, which look aim oSt
spider-like in the vastness of the can
yon, have been thrown across the
gorge, being anchored securely in the
sheer sides. Huge cables depend from
these braces, holding Il long iron bridge
which extends not across but parallel
with the course of the r.vcr.-New

result the pulp assumed blue tint.
