Fined for KISSING Her Mother,

The Moscow correspondent of the
Novosti states that Mile. Trefloff, the
famous Russian actress, has just
been fined ten rubles for kissing her
mother on a tram car. 1t appears that
both in Moscow and st. Petersburg
it is unlawful to give kisses in public,
a kiss in the street being penalized by
a fine of seven rubles, ten rubles be-
ing the fine inflicted on those who
practice oscillations in railway trains
or in tram cars recent enactment
even renders persons who send declar.
ations of love on post cards liable
to a fine Of five rubles.

SOME LoNe-WlNDED PREACHERS.
Three Hours Once Considered Fair
Average Allowance for Sermon.

Dean LEROY, who has expressed the
opinion that ten minutes is long
enough for a sermon, would have met
with scant sympathy from some d.
vines of past centuries.
Thomas Hooker considered three
hours fair average allowance for
sermon, though, on one occasion, when
he was i'll, he let his congregation off
more lightly. Pausing at the end of
Is minutes he rested while and then
continued his homily for two hours
longer. Cranmer's sermons were each

and Baxter, Knox, Bunyan and Calvin

George Herbert once said: "The

ARNoLD's "eoNDoLAs" IN SIGHT.
Sunk by Him in Lake ChampIain.
They Can Be Seen on the Bottom.

Parkman's history describes the
"gondolas" which Benedict Arnold de-
stroyed on Lake Champlain when he
was forced to retreat before superior
British forces in 1776. The wreckage
may still be seen on a calm day at
the bottom of Arnold's bay. A sojourn-
er in that region thus describes a
recent visit to the bay:
"The water is lower in the lake
than the oldest inhabitants can re-
member, 1t has gone down six feet
since June. We found one of the
'gondolas.' These were evidently stout,
wide boats, very large and strong, pro-
PEELED by oars, as the two oak ribs
sticking up from the keel of the one
we discovered plainly showed. These
ribs are about five or six inches thick.
After a long struggle we sawed off
a piece with two rusty nails in it;
nails that are really large spikes. As
the water is about seven feet deep
and the top of the ridge was about
two feet below the surface, the task
of saving about foot off was heroic.
1t is hard oak, now quite black.
There were already six saw cuts
in the piece we secured. Some other
travellers had been at it and had got

LESSON LEARNED FROM ORIENT.
Western Nations Appreciate the Value
of Their Forests.

Scientific men speculate to the ef-
feet that the boundess desert Of Sa-
bara was once garden supporting a
mighty population and doubtless the
seat of what was then human civiliza-
tion. There is authentic history for
1t that the region called Mesopotamia
was the granary Of the east and the
center of human endeavor when Cyrus
the Great was king, but it is now a
desert waste, and owls and bats in
habit the ruins of Babylon because of
the denudation of the forests of that
once splendid country. Spain paid
bigger price for the havoc she wrought
among the trees of the valley of the
Guadalquivir than the Berber invasion
and the Moorish dominion cost her

pear to have learned the lesson and
profited by it. In those countries tim
Der culture is as much a regular crop
as potatoes in Michigan, corn in Iowa,
tobacco in Kentucky, OF cotton in Mis-
sissippi, and in at least one of those
countries it is the law of the land
that for every tree felled another must
be planted, and no tree is felled un-
til 1t has attained to its zenith as

Governor Folk in a speech be-
fore the real estate exchange in St.
Louis stated that he had carried 81
counties out of the ia in the state
and that he took more satisfaction
in defeat by the slum element than
he would have in victory assisted
by them. Very few believe Gov
Folks stilted statement, but the
facts 10 moi bear uut the Governors
contention. The returns show that
Governor Folk received the Demo-
cratic vote in practically all Repub-
lican counties in the state and in 81
counties in which there are small
Democratic majorities. The 81
counties which Governor Folk car
ried gave Bryan a majority over
Taft of 1926. Senator Stone car
ried 26 Democratic counties. In
these counties are included Gala
way, Boone, Howard, Monroe, Sa-
line, Plat and such Democratic
strongholds. These 26 counties
gave Bryan a majority over Taft of
$4,000. Senator Stone also carried
10 out of 16 congressional districts
in the state. With the cold figure
to refute him, Gov. Folks plant
is entirely without foundation.
They show that Senator Stone car
ried the districts where the Democ-
racy of the State gets its votes.-

the automobile has eclipsed the

The trusts are already getting in
their work for they know they will
not be molested. The Coates
Thread Company will start full
time and the Steel Trust has al
ready arranged for ten millions tons
of ore. The Cotton Mills in Jersey
City will also put up on a greater
force This is what some people
will call prosperity, but it only
proves that the trusts know their
friends are at the helm and they
will be permitted to charge the con-
sumner for another four years any
price they see fit. The Coates
Thread Company is an English con-
Germ, although it absolutely controls
all the spool cotton made in this
country, and will not permit a local
dealer to sell a spool of cotton fol
a penny less than the price set by
them. yet in England they give 400
yards on a spool at the same price
that we here get 200 yards for. No
wonder they feel that prosperity il

Cheerfulness in Narrowing Circum-

[0rison SWEET Marden, in Success
Magazine."l
1t is comparatively easy o be
pleasant and cheerful when our
bread-and-butter problem is solved,
when we are strong and healthy,
when we have harmonious, comfort
able homes and money in the bank;
but the test of character comes
when there is a family to support,
when a wife and little ones are
looking to us for bread and cloth
ing, and the wolf is pretty near the
door; when we are struggling against
poor health, a discordant home, a
dishonest partner. 1t is very diff
ficult thing to be cheerful and hope
full when p man is out of a job,
with no money in the bank, and an
invalid wife and children depend
ing upon him.
1t is comparatively easy to be OPP
timiStic when the granary is full,
when there are no clouds on the
horizon, but a very difficult thing
to be hopeful and cheerful when
the capital is small and business
poor. 1t is hard to be optimistic
when notes and bills are coming
due and there is no money to pay
for goods which lie unsOld on the
shelves.
1t is easy to smile when we are
well and everything is coming our
way, but when everything goes
wrong with us, when undergoing
misfortunes or hardships, when
those near to us are sick and in
distress, when poverty pinches,
when the flour is getting low in the
barrel, and hungry children look
longingly into ones face. then it is
not so easy to smile, to give the
cordial handshake, to be serene,
balanced, and poised. But this is
just the time that real character,
that fine training, will stand one in
good stead.
