The Majesty Of tho pyramids.

As the wonder Of the sphinx takes
possession of you gradually, so grad
ually do you learn to feel the majesty
Of the pyramids of Gizeh, unlike the
step pyramid of Sakkara, which even
when one is near 1t looks like small
mountain, part Of the land on which 1t
rests. The pyramids Of Gizeh look
what they are-artificial excrescences,
invented and carried out by man, ex-
pressions of mans greatness. Exqul-
site as they are as features. of the
drowsy golden landscape at the setting
Of the sun, think they look most Won
derful at night when they are black
beneath the stars. On many nights
i have sat in the sand at a distance
and looked at them, and always and In
creasingly they have stirred my imag-
ination. Their profound calm, their
classical simplicity, are greatly empha-
sized when no detail can he seen, when
they are but black shapes towering to
the stars. They seem to inspire then
like prayers prayed by one who has
said, GOD does not need my prayers,

Deputy Chief Kruger the New York City Fire Department Dies
* as He Lived Leading His "Coys" In the Peril
! 20 Gus Path Of Duty.

Charles w. Kruger, deputy chief of
the New York city fire department,
was drowned on Feb. IL in subcellar
into which he had fallen through an
open trap while leading a company of
his men to point Of vantage FOR fight
ing bad fire.
No surer death hole could have been
contrived than the pit in which the
heroic old fire leader lost his life In
spite Of the struggles of his men to
save him. There was six feet OF wa
ter in the subcellar, and above that
was the main cellar filed with deadly
fumes from many broken and melted
gas pipes. No doubt the deputy chief
had been weakened by these fumes,
for his struggle in the water was short.
The last cry that came up from the
pitch dark hole was "Save me, Andyw
Andy was Andrew Hergenrother, the
deputy's driver, who not only took his
chief to every blaze for many years,
but followed him like shadow in and
out Of danger. He followed him half
way into the water hole and would
have gone all the way had he not
found that he could render better serv-

Several drops Of cold water spattered
against the drivers outstretched hands,
and with flreman's intuition he knew
what had happened. But already one
foot was over the pitfall, and he could
not save himself altogether from GO
ing down. He spread out his arms,
however, and checked himself as he
hung up to his thighs in the water,
managing to hold on in spite OF the
fact that the first Of the following
men stumbled heavily against his
shoulders.
For Gods sake, Andy, this place Is
full of water!' came smothered,
gasping cry from the subcellar.
I'm coming, chief" replied the driv-
er as he drew in one arm from the
swaying floor preparatory to letting
himself down. But he quickly threw
1t back and struggled to strengthen
his hold, for at that instant he felt the
arms OF the chief clasped about his
leg.
Two OF the ladder men seized Her
genrother under the armpits and braced
for hard pull together, but the driver
could do nothing to help himself, and

THE GHOST OF THE FUTURE.
Fear Of Coming to Want and the Ter.
ror of Failure.

ror Of Failure.
The terror Of failure and the fear Of
coming to want keep multitudes OF
people from obtaining the very things
they desire by sapping their vitality.
by incapacitating them through worry,
anxiety and fear from the effective,
creative work necessary to give them
success.
Wherever we go this fear ghost, this
terror specter, stands between men and
their goal. No person Is In position to
do good work while haunted by 1t.
There can be no great courage where
there is no confidence or assurance,
and half the battle is in the conviction
that we can do what we undertake.
The mind. always full of doubts,
fears. forebodings. is not In position
to do effective. creative work, but is
perpetually handicapped by this unfor.
tunate attitude.
Nothing will so completely paralyze
the creative power of the mind and
body as a dark. gloomy. discouraged
mental attitude. No great creative
work can be done by a man who ls not
an optimist.
The. human mind cannot accomplish
great work unless the banner Of hope
goes IN advance. A man will follow
this banner when money. friends, repu.
tation, everything else has gone.--Suc-

Whey For Pids.

Results Of experiments at Danish ex-
pertinent stations show that twelve
pounds of whey from separator skim
milk cheese are equal to one pound OF
grain for pig feeding or one pound Of
skimmilk equals two pounds Of whey
In feeding value. Experiments at the
Wisconsin station show higher feed
Ing value for whey. as it contains
more fat and casein than that used
abroad. A suitable feed may be made
by mixing together equal parts of
shorts, ground oats, bran and cornmeal
made into moist state just thick
enough to pour well. Whey is then
fed in the same way as skimmilk or
may be freely mixed with other feed
stuffs.

was pursued through dense forest by
desperate band of brigands. She re-
tired In the full tide Of excitement
aroused by the thrilling tale. and as
soon as she went to sleep she began to
dream the story, with herself as the
central figure. The dream bandits
chased her until they became to her
subconscious mind so real that she got
out OF bed and ran to escape them.
The cold air and the hard road failed
to awaken her. r
She said that she finally seemed to
become exhausted and sank down to
