He Hit the Bookmaker.

Patrick Murphy had an afternoon
Jn, so he thought he would go out to
see the horse races.
Pat had heard about the fortunes
made at the race track, so he thought
he would try his luck. He went down
stairs before every race, but didn't
find any odds that suited him until
the last race. 1t was a large gray
horse. 1 don't remember its name,
but It suited Pat all right, for 1t had
SOL after it.
Pat put up his dollar and went up
stairs to see the race. His horse won
by a neck. Pat hurried downstairs
with a lively step to cash In his
check.
It was the last race Of the day and
the bookmaker was anxious to get
rid of his silver, therefore Pat was
paid with silver dollars.
Pat stood there a few minutes rum
bling over his handful OF silver dol
lars. when the bookmaker hollered:
"What's the matter, Irish? Don't you
think they are good?"
Pat said: "They look all right, but

TOLD IN METRIC TERMS.
Academy of the Middle West Uses New
System in Its Field and
Track Meet.

There is growing use in this coun-
try of the metric system of weights
and measures. Many commercial
houses in the east and a number Of
the colleges there have adopted the
system, and eventually it is expected
that the many standards now in com.
mon use in the United States will
give place to the more simple, exact
and scientific one-standard of the
metric system. At the suggestion of
Mr.. S. w. Stratton there is one acad-
envy in the middle west that has
adopted the system and this year
used it in it's field and track meet.
This is the academy of the University
of Chicago at Morgan Park, and this
is the way the record of its inter-
hall contest reads. Any of our read
ers who are interested can turn these
into feet and inches by remembering
that a meter is equivalent to 1887
inches and a foot is 0.3048 meter:

SMOKE THAT r
A Series Of Tricks Which Can Be Fer
formed with Paper Lighters
and a Bottle.

Not so very long ago, before matches
were quite SO common as they are
now, and, indeed, in some country
places to-day lamplighters are used
for lighting lamps and candles, and
even gas jets. They are made of strips
OF newspaper about Is inches long
and one and a half inches wide, which
are made into rather close rolls, be-
ginning at one corner. The end last
finished is turned over to prevent the
strip from unrolling, and when the
lighter is needed for the purpose in.
tended it is lighted at a fire.
Make a number of these lighters.
and then try these few tricks with
them, keeping away from drafts while
so doing, and having a scuttle or a
dish of water heal by in which to DROP

from your hand pointing downward,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Light
the lower end, and as the flame burI2
upward, a tongue of flame will remain
burning at the lower charred end.
If you blow this flame out, leaving
the upper one still burning, a stream

tinguished fame. This smoke You
can light like gas.
For the second trick leave the up
per end of the lighter open instead OF
folding it down, and hold the lighter
at that end to prevent it from unroll
ing. Now light the lower end, and
the fame will move upward, no fame
remaining at the charred end. In
stead, the smoke will pour out of the
upper, open end, and it may be lighted
there, as before it was at the lower
end, like gas.
If you will now repeat this last trick,
at the same time holding the charred
end over the mouth of a wide mouthed
bottle, and watch for the moment
when the smoke begins to pour out
of the upper end, a third experiment
may be made.
AS you see the smoke streaming
out, pinch the upper end, and it will
the lower, charred end without burn
ing and enter the bottle, which it will
fill. If you touch a flame to the smoke
in the bottle, it will ignite with a sud
den flash.
In the way just described, fill a bet.
tie with smoke, and cover it, letting it
subside. Repeat this, filling the bottle
and letting the smoke subside for
seven or eight times. You will find,
as a result, a collection of several
drops of yellow liquid. Now heat these
drops over a flame on a tin space box,
and smoke will again be produced that
you may burn as before.

Grocer Was Getting Even.

THAT was tit for tat with a ven

tomobilist, apropos of a quarrel be-
tween two French chauffeurs. 1T re-
minds me of a grocer l used to know
in Paint Rock. This grocer went over
to the jewelers. one day to get a new
crystal put on his watch. The latter
as he fitted and cleaned the crystal
suddenly flushed. He bit his lip and
frowned. His hand trembled so that
he could hardly go on with his task.
Finally, handing the watch to the gro
Ger, the jeweler said in a restrained
voice: Beg pardon, but didn't l just
see you put a couple of rings and .
scarfpin in your pocket?"
" Sure you did, said the grocer,
boldly. When you come to my place
aren't you always putting things in
your mouth?'"

A woman who has used Postum
Food Coffee since it anne upon the
market s years ago knows from ex-
perience the necessity or using Pos
tum in place of coffee if one values
health and a steady brain.
She says: Sat the time Postum was
first put on the market 1 was suffer
ing from we dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally 1 de-
cided to take his advice and try
Postum, and got a sample and had it
carefully prepared, finding it deli
cious to the taste. So I continued
it's use and very soon its beneficial ef-
fects convinced me of its value, for
I got well of my nervousness and dys-
pepsia.
my husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly. / persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach. To make a long story short our
entire family have now used Postum
for eight years with completely sat-
:sfying results, as shown In our fine
condition Of health and we have mo-
iced a rather unexpected improve
ment in brain and nerve power"

THE STORY.

For days now the march had led
steadily into the mountain Businesses,
the Cloud leading on through winding
valley and under high cliff, and over
rugged pass, until even Moses, the
leader, began to wonder whittier the
journey was trending and why God
was shutting them in from the rest Of
the world. Once or twice he thought
he recognized places along the route
as ones which he had passed with
Aaron more than a year before on
their return from indian, but the
thought of gaining the Promised Land
was so uppermost in his mind that he
had persuaded himself that it could
not be. He spoke to Aaron about the
matter once, pointing out a rock that
looked very like one under the shadow
of which they had rested n night,
but the latter had considered it so i'm
probable that he finally dismissed the
thought from his mind.
So the journey had continued until
at last one day they suddenly came
into a valley which instantly Moses
TSCOSulLcu do lAO OA0 ACooAh0 W lC
Mount of God where he had stood be-
fore the burning bush and God had
spoken to him out of the midst there
of. On either side there rose the lofty
rocks forming a natural isle like the
approaches to the temples of Egypt
which were lined with the colossal
figures of men and gods. And at the
end of this broad avenue, rising i'm
mediately out of the level plain over
which they were marching, lowered
the massive cliffs of Sinai, like the
huge altar of some natural temple.
The place was one to inspire rever-
ence, and thoughts of worship, and
Moses and Aaron were not alone in
these feelings, for as the multitude
halted at the sound of the trumpets
and began to pitch their tents, they
talked together in low tones about God
having brought them to his temple.
And when Moses departed up the
mountain it was whispered through the
camp that he had gone up to talk with
God. The events at Rephidim had
done much to arouse their con-
seriousness of God and during those
first days at the foot Of Mount Sinai,
there was a subdued, reverent spirit
pervading the camp, and when Moses
again came into their midst he found
a people watchful for his return and
ready to listen to the message he
might bring them.
And Moses called the elders Of Israel
and when they had assembled the peo-
pie in a great concourse on the slop-
ing sides of the hill; he repeated the
words of the Lord in the ears of the
elders and they in turn spoke them to
the people.
"This is the message Of God to Is
rael," he cried, when a great hush had
fallen upon the assembly, sfor he has
commanded me in the mountain to say
to the house OF Jacob, and to tell the
children Of Israel: 'Ye have seen
what l did unto the Egyptians, and
how | bare you or eagles wings and
brought you unto myself"
AS the words were repeated and all
the people heard they bowed low, and
the memories which the words re-
called stirred them as they had not
