4 Hair Cot That Made War,

The cropping Of the flowing locks
and beard Of Louis VII. of France
brought on three centuries OF blood
shed. The archbishop OF Rome had
decrsed that the French king. MS 4 pen

Eleanor, that she laughed aloud and

But did you ever stop to consider
how long this supply of meal and oil
lasted? just as long as the famine
lasted. No more, no less. No sooner
did the rain descend upon the earth
and the orchards began to give forth
their fruits and the gardens their vege-
tables and the fields their harvests
than this miraculous supply Of food
stopped as suddenly as the mama Of
the wilderness ceased when the chill
dren of Israel passed over the Jordan
into the promised land. When man
can help himself God always expects
him SO to do. God never takes care of
man who ia not willing TO help take

Within the narrow limits of the city
of London, with its mere handful OF
residents-only sufficient to people a
small provincial town-there are still
so many churches that you might wor'

deanery of the east city there are to-
day no fewer than ten churches, each
of which ministers to a population OF
less than 200; the aggregate number
OF parlshioners is l,473, while the

thus providing almost two seats for

He had come home to America with
hatred and revenge in his heart
hatred for the woman who had only
ceased to love him when he trampled
her love, as everything else, under

jim KEYS SPELLING
RECORD is In DANGER

There's a dark man comm to make
trouble for one James Key, equine ex-
ponent of photography.
The walters from the West, Nicollet
and National hotels and the Commercial
club will meet tonight at the Bethesda
Baptist church, colored, for an old-fash-
toned spelling bee. This contest was
arranged primarily for the financial
benefit of the church. but later devel-
opments have shown j. A. Glenn, presi-
dent of the Young Men s club, how the
contest may be made to win new laurels
for the colored race.
''I hear,' said Mr.. Glenn, "that
this horse, Jim Key, which the Humane
society is exhibiting at the Auditorium,
is spelling down everyone who goes
against him. Now when we have had
our spelling match the man who wins
the silk umbrella, which we offer as
a prize, will surely be the best eolored
speller in town.
"Now this DIR. Key, who trained Jim
Key, is a colored person, [ am told.
It seems to me that the best colored
speller in town ought to be able to
spell down a horse which learned
spelling from colored man who holds
no records in that line. Anyway, there
will be no harm trying, and ! shall
try to arrange match between the
winner in our old-fashioned spelling bee
and Jim Key.

when he had sold more papers. He was
at the door bright and early and was
one Of the first to be admitted Look
ing back he saw little girl outside
crying because she had lost her ticket.
The little girl's deep distress awakened
all the chivalry in him and he boldly
spoke to Mr.. Rogers saying he saw the
teacher give her a ticket.
Mr.. Rogers gave him another ticket
for the little girl and young Chesterfield
proudly marched out to give the little
maiden her ticket Alas! however, he
forgot he had already given up his own.
The doorkeeper could not recognize him
among the thousands of children and SO
he could not get in again.
When he told his teacher that he did
not see Jim Key after all, she felt that
such gallantry should be rewarded and
he was given a ticket for the next day.
The teachers in all the schools are as
interested in having the children see
Jim as are the children themselves. At
Peabody school, Two-and- One-Half
street and Nineteenth avenue s, which
is one of the poorer districts, it was
found that a great many of the chill
| dren could not afford both streetcar
| fare and admission ticket, and they
did not know how to snd their way
| should they walk.
One of the teachers offered to walk
with them to show them the way, and
she did, plotting between two and
three hundred children all the way.

Because Of a special call to the inter

ment in Minneapolis, the entertainment
fund received substantial boost today.
Certain interests, such as the hotels, res
taurants, boarding houses, provision
dealers, ETC., will have all kinds Of bust
ness during encampment week, and will
take in every day, because Of the
crowds in the city, many times the
amount they were asked to subscribe.
The special call Of the finance com
mittee was aimed directly at these in
terests who will receive their returns
every day Of the encampment. The
same course will be pursued In follow
ing up the others who have not returned
the pledges.
The fund is assuming generous pro.
portions, but is still short Of what it
should be. The finance committee is
out to stick to the finish, and will de.
mand direct reply from everybody. It
is urged that those who have been asked
to subscribe send their pledges in at
