Forgotten Law.

Increasing use OF autos has
brought to light a forgotten or I'M
known section of state law, with
reference to providing signboards
on public highways, by road over
seers, and providing a fine of not
less than SIS, or more than 500 for
failure to comply with the law. The
law is found in section 1869, article
2, revised statutes of 2899. Mis-
souri, has a bad reputation in the
matter of confusing country roads,
and an almost utter lack of sign
boards, though the law makes am
pie provision for them. Our road
overseers ought to look up this law
and prevent possible trouble arising
from complaints on this score. -

Shrewd Financierins.

These great financiers are de-
serving of more praise" declared
the speaker of the evening. They
have made possible giant business
enterprises. We deride them now,
but future generations will revere
the names of Rockefeller, Morgan,
Carnegie and 9TH"
Pardon me-" interrupted a little
woman in the audience. But you
have not named the greatest finan-
ciers of this nation"
"Ah, I would be glad to hear you
suggest the names of greater ones"
said the speaker.
Il will not call the names, for
there are too many" replied the
little woman. but I'll tell you who
they are. They are the hundreds
of thousands of women, wives of
workingmen whose average wages
are less than $3.50 year. Such
able financiers are that they are
able to give their children nourish-
ing food, pay the rent, buy fuel and
educate the children, clothe them
and give them medical attention,
and fit them for noble citizenship
and all on a paltry sum that is
mere weekly pin-money for the
wives of the men you named. /
claim that the women I mention
are the ablest financiers in the
country. If they were not, the pri-
walton that is already too preva-
lent, would be woefully greater
than it is"
And the cheering that followed
was for the little woman and hel
kind, and not for the orator and the
financiers he named.

the two straws were about to touch
they were blown wide apart. A stifled
scream from Sulangana, a groan from
DeVatang, a murmur from the guests,
a shake of the head from the priest;
the blood-stained milk was still and
the straws moved not. Sulangana
sank to her knees.
Two anxious hours passed; the
straws remained motionless.
Once when q gentle breeze, laden
with the odor Of the pyre, moved them
slightly, the priest, out Of pity, at
tempted to blow them toward each
other, unseen by bride or groom, but
his breath only increased the space
between them.
Then with a shrek Sulangana

his dagger. THE straws did not lie

Euddha's hands and cried "Oh, save

from the fate foretold by the straws

His heart was burning within him
and with bound he was at his wife's

The Prediction
OF the StraWS
By Robert o. Maopartoe

At the foot OF the snoW-cappeu
mountains Of Himalaya there was once
a town called Kusalassa.
II was two score yojanas from the
great realm Of Kapilavastu. A wild
town It was, with few occupations
other than those of hunting and agri-
culture. A few there were who re-
tanned some religion. but they were,
in a way, Stunned.
These few, numbering about hVe
score. lived by themselves at one end
of the town, had their grain fields con-
'solidated into one. and every harvest
time would go forth and cut the rice,
which would be distributed as equally
as possible among themselves.
Gradually these people moved far
Their away from Kusalassa and the
wild people took possession OF their
deserted fields. Then there were
skirmishes between the two parties,
and once or twice a man was killed,
but they thought nothing of that. The
raiders were called Sabbas, and at
first disliked the appellation, but as
time wore on they came to rejoice In
1t and, out of spite. termed their enc
mics Kusalassas.
Now, the skirmishes became more
frequent and bloody, till finally there
occurred a real battle, in which ar
row and sword did such good service
that one-fourth of the Sabbas and one
third of the Kusalassas lost their lives
but the latter, though outnumbered
won.
After the battle there was great re
ioicing in the village of the Kusa
lassas.
The smell of altar and savory
dishes was everywhere to be noticed
Before the image of Ganesha, the chic
deity of these people, stood a red ran
awaiting the butchers knife. The
crowd of anxious spectators watched
!ntently as the priest-butcher ap
preached, a silver.handled knife in hi:
hand. Then the incense arose mor'
strongly, and there were cries to Gan
esha to accept the sacrifice.
Suddenly from those about the i'm
age there came two people, man ant
woman. The woman, in black attire
ner head covered with a veil, cluni
20 the mans arm.
The man, carrying short swort
made of talas wood, stepped up to tn
priest and said in steady voice: "Ot
priest! Before thou slayest Mesha
the ram, would say that have com
hither to wed Sulangana whom tho
seest by my side. We promised tire
moons ago to wed after should hav
slain q Saba. The battle of to-da
has brought our wishes to fruition."
Then many more stepped forwart
bearing sweet cakes and bags Of graz
and one had a bowl Of milk.
The moon was rising, casting II
silvery light over the piles of dea
on the field Of battle.
It seemed to have been premed
tated, for every one had something Il
the bride and groom.
A feast was soon spread, the CUES
seated and the red rams throat 81
