ence of a noble example, but 1t Is the
only sure one. ana the doctrine applies

The gospel of the Prince of Peace gives

Possibly somewhere in the jungles
of Africa or perhaps in the mystic east
or on the planet Mars there is presi-
dent. potentate. shah, rajah. sultan or
some other sort of ruler who is as
strange and grotesquely impossible as
President Nord Alexis of Haiti. but
certainly there is none to compare with
him in this hemisphere. Castro Of
Venezuela comes close perhaps. but
Castro's style differs. and, while he de-
fies the great powers Of the earth, he
does not approach in pure picturesque
ness the venerable man who sits in
the presidential palace at Port au
Prince and runs the little black repub-
lie to suit himself. Imagine typical
Ethiopian between ninety and hum
dred years Of age. bloodthirsty and APP
parently only half civilized. dealer Of
death to political enemies. a believer In
voodooism. and you have a faint idea
of what he is. For anything more one
must go to Haiti and see for himself

Automatic Coin Assorter.

A recent issue of an Austrian journal
gives an account of an automatic mon
ey assorter that will assert metal coins
which have been thrown together re-
CARELESS of their denominations. plac
ing each denomination in a separate
basket. The various coins are thrown
indiscriminately into a funnel at the
top of the machine. and from the fun
mel they slide downward. alighting on
spiral truck. This track has pro-
tecting edge or raised border contain
ing Sits corresponding to the various
sizes of the coins. AS the coins of
various denominations glide downward
on to the track through some peculiar
mechanism of the machine they pass
through the Sits corresponding to their
various sizes, entering their respective
baskets at the bottom of the machine.

Frozen In For Half a Century,

The old wooden English warship In
vestigator, which has been frozen in at
Mercy bay. Boring island. since Sept.
"a, 1851. has at last been freed from
the ice. 1t seems almost incredible
that the ice in Mercy bay has never
melted before in the course Of half Il
century. but nevertheless that is the
truth. Last summer was. however. g.
mild one. and the ship was liberated,
while, the winter having been open.
the vessel still remains free. There will
be general desire to have the ship
brought 70 England. and this will be
easy. for it appears she is in sound
condition. Sir Robert Mcclure was COM
mander of the Investigator during the
search for the Franklin expedition.
The vessel had to be abandoned, and
it has been frozen in ever since.-Lon-

Home Trade Truths.

A dollar spent in your own town Is
q dollar saved to the community.
The purchasing power Of money
spent around your home is much more
than its purchasing power if spent
away off yonder. 1t buys the respect
of your neighbors and standing for
yourself as loyal citizen.
1t is funny to hear a fellow preach
and pirate about town loyalty when he
makes habit of using the mail order
catalogue as his saleslady or sales
man. Now, isn't that fact?
Maybe the reason that young friend
of yours resigned his job in the local
store and moved to the big city is that
you have been helping to build up the
city stores at the expense of the local
stores and your young friends sal
airy at home suffered accordingly.
Did 1t ever occur to you that the COM
munity feeling. so to speak, is the
thing that makes life worth living in
any town? By the community feeling
Is meant, of course. that condition
where neighbors are mutually depend
ent and helpful. one recognizing the
right of the other to be considered first
in any deal rather than an outsider,
and vice versa. And the motto of the
community feeling is this: "Patronize
home industries"
If the mail order trade is hurting
your town. and in all probability it is
and you know it is. suppose you pause
moment and ask yourself what part

The Circus.

institution" remarked an old time cir
Gus man the other day. But things
have changed. l went into the dress
ing room of a big show recently. and
nearly all of the performers are for
eigners There are few good American
circus performers any more. Old Bob
Stickney was there. He does man
age act with team Of horses. even
though he's sixtytwo years old now.
He used to be the best bareback rider
on the road outside of Jimmy Robin

old timers left. and there never will be

he demolished the table. smashed sew
eral trunks and tore up some of the
bedclothes.
Shades situation was becoming des
perate. He watched his chance, and
when the animal was at the other end
of the apartment he jumped out of the
berth and ran toward the deck ladder.
The bull swung around and chased the
man. He threw up his head as Shade
was on the top rung, throwing him
out on the deck. Shade escaped serious
injury. although he said he never was
in such tight place in his life before.
In the meantime the cattlemen,
armed with pitchforks and a lariat.
started to capture the bull. They final
ly lassoed the animal, and he was Sc
cured to his pen.

Had he tried to move the Infatuated
animal would have gored him to death.
Shade closed his eyes. and the bull
paved over him for a moment. Then
some Of the cattlemen secured a red
tableclOth and shook it from a safe
distance to attract the attention Of the
animal.
He turned and dashed toward the
men. Shade jumped into one Of the
upper berths and covered himself with
quilt. The cattlemen beat hasty re-
treat, and when the bull was unable
to reach them he began to smash the
fittings. He dashed back to the cattle

Garden On Vacant Lot Proposed For
the Good Of Many.
II there is a thickly populated Sec
ton in town where little Of the beau
ties Of nature are seen, it would be
we'll to study the following plan, which
Is described in Club Notes by Louise
Klein Miller, curator of the public
school gardens OF Cleveland. O.:
Little Italy is one Of the most dense
ly populated foreign districts in Cleve-
land. Men, women and children who
have lived under sunny skies Of their
native land, accustomed to seeing beau
tiful gardens, gay with brilliant flow
ers, are now living under the most con-
gested conditions. The heat of sum-
mer forces them from their warm
houses into contracted yards or out on
parched pavements.
IAN effort is being made to trans
form a vacant lot lent for the pur-
pose into beautiful garden where the
people may 60 and enjoy the green
things growing The plan includes
flower and vegetable gardens. herb
garden and an exchange garden, where
plants will be received and given to
the men, women or children to be used
in their home gardens.
1.-THE dream is pergola, summer
house, wistaria, bay trees and box
hedges. The realization may be a tent
for the pergola and summer house and
morning glOries, four oclocks and cas-
tor oil plants for the wistaria.
''The parish priest. the padrone, the
principal of the public school attended
by the little citizens of this quarter
and the residents of the social settle
ment in the neighborhood all give their
hearty support and promise of coop
Grafton with the Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs. The garden will be a
radiating center for civic improve
