A RemnrIxabIe Journey.

In history issued of Harper's
Weekly Harry A. Franck describes a
remarkable journey undertaken by
him on foot across the robber-infested
Lebanon range to Damascus. Every
body tried to induce him to abandon
this enterprise. At one village the
sheikh invited him to sit in his shop
entrance upon a stool and placed an
earthenware pot in front of him, into
which every passer-by was urged to
drop a coin. The pot was almost full
when an English-speaking villager ex-
planned its meaning. The sheikh was
taking up collection to purchase for
the author a railroad ticket to Damas-
Gus. Mr.. Franck picked up his KNAPP
sack and stepped into the street. But
the sheikh and several bystanders
threw themselves upon me with cries
of dismay. 1t was no use attempting
to escape from a dozen horny hands.
l permitted myself to be led back to
the stool and sat down with the KNAPP
sack across my knee. The sheikh adj
dressed me in soothing tones, pointing
at the pot with every third word. The
others resumed their seats on the
floor, rolled new cigarettes and fell
quiet once more. With one leap
sprang from the stool into the street
and set off at top speed down the
highway, a screaming, bowling, ever
increasing, but ever more distant
throng at my heels

HOLY GHoSTERs PREPARE FOR
THE END OF THE WORLD

The society of The Holy Ghost and
U.s. is going to be ready for the end
OF the world which is predicted will

Of the cult, Elijah" Sanford, is hurry
Ing home from the uttermost ends of
the earth where he has been on

fateful day.
At o'clock on the morning of the
18th the Shilohites will don the pure
white garments which they have pre-
pared over and against the beginning
OF the end, and will meet together in
front of the tabernacle in order to
shake hands all around After the
handshaking they will mount to the
roof of the tabernacle where with
song and praise they will enliven the
moments Immediately preceding the
expected end. In further preparation
the vessel, built by the Shilohites, will

also been painted a shining white in
preparation for the great day. The
ship of the society lies in the harbor
and all is expectancy.

Before fame came to him. said a
playwright, that great rival of mine,
George Bernard Shaw, wrote theatri-
cal criticisms for the London Satur-
day Review Now, those were criti-
cisms indeed. Nobody could praise a
good play so beautifully as this crI tic.
Nobody could roast bad play so
tellingly. Listen. Here is a sample.
And the playwright read:

ton concerning a play at the Opera

At the end of the second act the play
had advanced about as far as an ordi-
nary dramatist would have brought it
five minutes after the first rising of
the curtain, or, say, as far as Isben
would have brought it ten years be-
fore that event Taking advantage OF

Gifts to the Pope.

The occupant of the see of st. Peter
is frequently the recipient of strange
gifts, the London Globe says
Some time age a present of lions
arrived. These are fortunate animals,
and the pope at considerable expense
has had them secured in large dens, in
which they can ramble at will. All
they can desire is free run of the
gardens.
Another remarkable gift, according
to Paris contemporary, was a colos-
sal group in iron of St. X. driving
back Attila from the city of z. The

You Have the Right to swear.

The Court of Appeals of Iowa has
handed down a unique decision re-
garding the rights of the user of a
telephone. A man "swore" at a young
girl operating central. whose CELEBRITY
did not please him, and his phone was
cut out by the company. He remon-
strated and was told that if he would
promise to be gentlemtn in the fu-
ture he might have a phone, but he
must eschew bad language, and more
over must not listen to other peoples
private conversation. The subscriber
refused to give any pledge and took
the case to court, where he did not
have to deny the bad language or
make any pledge, the higher court
holding that telephone companies were
in business to supply phones, and not
to dictate the quality of the language
used over them.

per cent caused by smokers and Z per

probably smokers would figure more
heavily in the total.

Speed and Death.

While the country is continually
called upon to bear the shock of fatal
accidents due to automobiles, it is
made aware that nearly all these ac-
cidents are unnecessary. They are due
to the high speeds at which machines
are driven. The recent speed contests
at Indianapolis proved especially
bloody. On a course supposed to be
as safe as q course could be made
there was an amazing list of fatalities.
The remedy for these hideous killings
is apparent. Demoniac performances
in the line of speeding must be prohip-
tied. Sanity must be applied to the
automobile. The public does not re-
quire racing machine in which to
go from place to place. 1t wants a re-
liable vehicle capable of travelling at
proper speed. Anything beyond that
is a menace to human life.-Chicago

Aged Woman Recalls Pioneer Days
of Indiana.
Mrs. Jane Smith, who recently cele
brated her 9th birthday anniversary
at her home in Fulton county, In
diana, remembers when there were
only two houses in Logansport, and
these were log cabins. She was born
in Virginia, and, with her parents,
came to Logansport 95 years ago. The
war of 1912 was still raging when she
came to Indiana and there were many
hostile Indians in this part of the
country. Though Mrs. Smith remem-
bers nothing of those exciting days,
except what she later learned from
her parents, incidents which occurred
five and ten years afterward are still
vivid in her mind.

LIGHT ON THE NATIVE MIND.
Here Is SavaEe's Description Of a
Railroad and n ship.


Railroad and "A ship.
G. j. Phillips, business agent In
Uganda of the Church Missionary So
ciety, throws light upon the workings
OF the native mind by quoting re-
markable letter in which a native
member of the Katikiro's (prime min
ister's) party gives description of
the Uganda railway, says the Strand.
My friend, | can tell you the Eu-
ropeans have done & marvellous thing
TO make the railway and the trains.
They fasten ten or fifteen houses to-
gether and attach them 10 a fireplace
which is as hig as an elephant, and
the road it goes on is as smooth rs
the stem of plantain. 1t goes as
fast as swallow flying. and every
thing You see outside flies past like
a spark from a fire If it were to
drop of one of the bridges not one in
it would be saved, for it goes dread
fully quick. The hills it passes are
as high as those of Koki, and they
have bridged over great valleys. which
are as deep as that you see when you
look from the top of Namirembo, so
deep you cannot see the bottom when
YOU are going over them"
Later there follows description of
a ship:
1t is as deep as our two-storied
house and as wide as the Kings road
in Menge, and ii is as long as from
the Katikiro's fence to the gate of
the kings Enclosure. 1t has three tall
poles in it and big throat out Of
which smoke comes, which is as wide
as the new drum in the church of
Namirembo The rooms in it go down
three stories and the boards of these
| cannot describe to you, for such have
not been seen before. There is a lot
of metal work about them, too, but
these also | cannot describe, for it is
so fine There are children on board,
and a flock of sheep, and places to
wash in attached to every place where
a chief sleeps, such as even our king
has never possessed"
