COLLECTING A DEBT.
An Effective Method, but One Fraught

~ met Mrs, Dwight on the train
going into town this morning" cas-
ually remarked Fulton at the din
ner table. "She had forgotten her
purse, so she borrowed a dollar from
me-" Mrs. Fulton laughingly sug-
gested that she was afraid it would
be some time before her husband
saw his dollar again. "Our neigh
Dor has rather a poor memory in
some ways" she added.
ooh, she'll pay me all right. You
know, / often see her on the train"
'1'm glad you're so hopeful" said
Mrs. Fulton, with a skeptical smile,
for she had had experiences of her
own in lending Mrs. Dwight bowls
Of coffee and cups of butter that
had never found their way back to
her kitchen. A few evenings later
she asked her husband if he had
met Mrs. Dwight again.
"Yes: twice"
"Wcll?7
81 think YOU are right about the
shortness Of her memory, for,
though she chatted very pleasantly,
she didn't mention the dollar"
81 guess You'll have to charge it
to profit and loss
Il won't give it up quite so soon,
though i may have to go into bank
ruptcy vet on account Of loaning
my surplus without interest"
The weeks went by, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Fulton continued to joke from
time to time about the absent dol
lar. and one evening, after having
ridden all the way out from town in
the same seat with Mrs. Dwight,
Fulton admitted, with exaggerated
mournfulness. that he was begin
ming to feel very much discouraged
about ever regaining his dollar.
Docs it make YOU feel bad, pa
pa" asked his little girl, who al
WAYS listened to the conversation
with grave attention.
"0f course it does, Hilda. A dol
lar is a whole lot Of money. How
would YOU like to lose the dollar
YOU have in your BANK"
81 s'posc it would make me most
SICK" She answered. And her par
ents, exchanging amused glances,
said nothing
When Fulton sat down at the din
ner table the next night he asked,
as he saw a shining silver piece at
his plate, whats this?"
"Your dollar" answered Hilda
triumphantly. Il went to Mrs.
Dwight's house today, and the door
was open, 50 l just thought I'd 60 in
and ask her if she'd 'tirely forgot
your dollar, but she wasn't around
anywhere. But it didn't matter,
Tor / found your dollar on the desk.
[ s'pose she kept forgetting to bring
it home, so l just looked it myself
for you, papa"
MY countryw exclaimed the as
tonished father ungratefully. "What
shall / GoY"
"What can you do but return it
and explain?' said Mrs. Fulton,
who was laughing almost hysteric-
ally. "What a thing it is to have
a serious minded daughter"

LORE OF THE METEOR.
Divine Honors Have Been Paid tins
Wanderers Of the Sky.


tt is only within the last hundred
wears that science has taken up the
study Of the meteor seriously, but
in all ages its ftful CLEAN has cap
tured the imagination of men.
In Asia in early times a fragment
was picked up which probably bore
a very rude resemblance to hui
man figure. 1t was looked upon as
an image of Diana, sent down from
Jupiter. A great temple was built
at Ephesus in its honor-the Tenn
pie Of Diana of the Ephesians.
There from all parts Of Asia people
focked to worship a meteorite.
The Romans, too, at certain
epochs of their history, fell under
the spirit Of the meteorite. Aeneas.
the mythic founder Of the race, is
said to have carried one with him
to Italy, and one Of the strangest
pictures in the wonderful gallery OF
Roman history is that Of the EN-
peror Heliogabalus paving divine
honors to his meteoric god, for the
head Of the imperial city was high
priest in temple whose god was
rude fragment Of meteoric stone.
A magnificent temple was built
for it in Rome. Every morning
hecatombs of bulls and sheep. were
offered. frkins of the richest wines
were poured out and much costly
incense was burned. Every year
the meteoric god was carried with
gorgeous ceremony to another tenn
Die in the suburbs. The chariot in
which it rode glittered with gold
and precious stones and was drawn
bv six white horses in golden trap
pings. The emperor himself held
the reins, walking backward, so as
to keep his eyes fixed on his god.
On either side the people ran, bear
ing torches and throwing garlands
of flowers as they passed
On another occasion a meteoric
stone PLAYED an important part in
Roman history. It fell in ancient
times in P'lrygia and was worship
ed at Pessinus by the Phrygians
and Phoenicians as Cybele, "the
mother Of the gods" To it had
been ascribed the victory Of the Ro-
mans over Hannibal in the first
Punic war So when in later years
the Carthagenian general had cross
ed the Alps and maintained his place
in Italy for twelve years the trou-
bled Romans wished for the Won
derful stone.
They had learned from the Sybil-
line books that an enemy might be
expelled from Italy if the stone
we're brought to Rome. So they
went 10 King Attalus, asking that it
might be sent. 1t was carried with
much ceremony to the Temple of
Victory on the Palatine hill, and,
sure enough, Hannibal was present
" compelled to return to Africa.
Having surmounted incredible diff
culties. he was yet forced TO yield to
a meteorite London Globe.

A Baltimore man was recently
showing his nice new opera hat to
his little nephew, and when ne
caused the top piece to spring open
three or four times the youngster

A few days thereafter the uncle,
during a visit to the same house

Of the shiny, noncollapsible kind.
When he was about to leave the
house he encountered the aforesaid
youngster running down the hall
with what looked ike a black ac7

Juvisy-Sir-Org France, Sept. s.
II. Lefebyre, the French aviator, was
killed by a fall from his aeroplane in
which he was practicing over the avia'
ton field yesterday afternoon. M. Le-
febvre sustained mortal injuries when
the machine crashed to the ground.
He died soon afterward.
M. Lefebvre came into prominence
only a few months ago. He was an
engineer Of considerable note, and be-
came interested in aviation through
studying it as science.
He was contestant at the recent
aerial competitions at Rheims and
was noted for his daring performances
and recklessness. After one of the
Rheims races he was fined 81 for
reckless flying.
Several months ago M. Lefebvre
purchased Wright aeroplane and
started at once making series of sue,
cessful flights near The Hague. Aft
er his demonstrations in Holland M.
Lefebvre dropped out of sight for a
while, but came back into the arena
at Rheims, where he piloted Wright

DAVENPORT HOLDS SALOONS
District Court sustains Validity Of
New Petition Recently circulat-
ed There.

Davenport, Sept. S.-Davenport's 100
saloons have a lease Of life for five
years This was the decision of Judge
j. w. Bollinger yesterday when ruling
on cases brought by the civic fedora
ton against certain Davenport saloon
keepers who had re-entered business
under the new statement of consent
circulated this summer The fedora
ton argued that saloons would have
to be reduced to one for each 1000
of population in two years, when the
old statement Of consent would expire.
Judge Bollinger holds that the new
one is valid, and the friends Of the sa-
loon are jubilant over the first impor-
tant legal victory 1t has won since the
movement for regulation of the liquor
business was started.
