When the Negro Was Created.
The Mexican Indians, as we'll as
those of most Of the Central American
republics, have superstition to the
effect that the negro was made before
either the white man or the Indian or
even before the sun was created They
account for his color by declaring that
be was made and dried in the DARK.
Their own race they say. was made in
the morning Of the first day between
daylight and sunup. On this account
they delight III a term which they APP
bly, to each other and which signifies

fears darkness and cannot stand heat,

Effect Of Overeating
The average dyspeptic does not give
more than half an hour TO his thEee
meals, since all dyspptics eat too
fast. Therefore thousands Of people
are willing to suffer twenty-three and
half hours every day In order that
they may do as they please for half an
hour And that's the way It goes in
nearly everything 4ge; that's the rea-
son so many people are always being
punished.-Atcllison Globe.
The Age Of the Harp,
The harp, which was suggested by
the lutte, is ascribed to Jubal, 1915
B. q. and was King David's fayorite
Instrument. The harp was used by
the Welsh and Saxons and also by the
ancient peoples Of Ireland. One Of the
oldest harps in existence is In the
Dublin college museum and originally
belonged to Brian Borolhme, king Of
Ireland

him employment. which kindness he
repaid by becoming owner Of the en-

time.
Billy used to end his story by say
ing that he tried that scheme once

An oriental city of magic called up

lovely, exquisitely eastern. ephemeral,
to be blown away by breath like Il
tuft of thistledown. not white. but
delicately pale with pallor holding
the faintest hint of seashell flush; a
city slender. calm, almost mystic in its
fragile grace. set in the heart of a

bright and ardent woods. beyond
which lie the desert spaces-this is
