A nobleman was once showing a
friend a rare collection Of precious
stones which he had gathered at a
great expense and enormous amount
of labor. "And yet" he said, "they
yield me no income"
His friend replied: Come with me
and l will show you two stones which
cost me but G5 each, yet they yield
me considerable income" He took
the owner of the gems to his gristmill
and pointed to two gray millstones,
which were always busy grinding out

The LIama's Load.

When the llama is too heavily
loaded, about 125 pounds, the wise
beast lies down right then and there
and goes on a strike and refuses to
bulge a peg despite any amount of
coaxing, beating or swearing-a actual

be almost to an ounce, or that's what
they all say in the Andes. Most men
know when they are overloaded. but
they are afraid to lie down.

thus filling long felt need among our
people. The course of study will EN-.
brace academic and theological sub,

The idea of such school had its
inception in the thrift and industry
of the Rev. DIR. W. Bishop johnson.
the noted scholar and statistician, who
is the successful pastor of the Second
Baptist church at Washington DR.
Johnson was for many years profess
or of mathematics and political econ

became part of Virginia Union uni
versity, at Richmond Va. He is the
author of many books and pamphlets
among which 'The Scourging Of a
Race" now in its fifth edition, is
bis best known work. DR.. Johnson
has Travelled extensively and is well
known and conversant with conditions
as they affect our people in all sec
tions Of the United States. No better
man could be secured to head such an
institution than DR.. Johnson.
The school will probably begin in
November. and its faculty will include
about fifty instructors. all college
graduates, who are specialists In their

Business Tied Up by Many Liens.

We are still hopeful that the affairs
of the Metropolitan Mercantile and
Realty company of New York may be
so adjusted as to render It possible for
its managers to continue the business.
1t takes a great deal of money to run
an extensive business Of the kind
which has been carried on quite sue
cessfully by the Metropolitan people
for nearly ten years. Too big a spread
often spoils the pie. An indebtedness
of S10,3T9.41 is quite burden for a
young concern to carry along with its
current expenses and other financial
obligations at the same time. Heavy
liens on property If not soon got rid
of will tie up any business.
