He turned away, walked to the north

over the knobs, and presently came

WANTS NO M0DERNIZED BIBLE
King James Version the Best of All,
Says Writer in Success
Magazine.

We are just old-fashioned enough to
take no stock In the modernized Bible
which is shortly to appear, 'couched
in everyday language, with obsolete
words and phrases eliminated" The
King James Bible has done more to
preserve the good old Saxon words and
style, which are the best English lit
erature has produced, than anything
else. Instead of movement to get
US further away from that vigorous,
simple, classic style, and in the inter-
est of establishing the finest literary
ideals possible to a people destined to
use the curious hybrid which the Eng
fish language has become, it would be
more sensible to frown upon all efforts
to improve on the King James Bible
1t is the greatest treasure house, in
spiration and teacher of good English
that We possess.-Success Magazine.

THE CAT AND THE BABY.

Medical Opinion to the Ira
dition of al Feline Danger.
Several physicians have investigated
the ancient story that cats suck the
| breath of babies, and Dr.. J. Rice Gibbs
declares that the theory is ridiculous.
Cats occasionally kill children, he de-
clares, but they do it in different
fashion.
ct has been stated that a cats nos
trils are so formed as to make per.
feet juncture with the nose of a baby"
said DR.. Gibbs, land that little
pressure would push them upward
and make them a perfect fit. Then
the cats chin would rest over and be-
low the babys mouth, preventing it
from opening to relieve the strangula-
ton while the cat sucked its breath.
That is all rot. The manner in which
little children are killed by cats is
this: A cat looking for warm place
to curl up and sleep lies down upon
the chest of little child, and, being
quite heavy-many cats are as heavy
as little babies-simply brushes the
breath out Of the child's lungs, and
strangulation takes place, but not
through sucking the child's breath.
"The idea that only blac-: cats kill
little babies is equally ridiculous. 1t
is simply because black cats are con-
sidered unlucky. In former times the
black cat was considered the very
genius of witchcraft In those days
when baby died the blame was often
fixed upon some bag who, the judges
said, had sent black cat to suck the
baby's breath. And often bag and cat
suffered death at the stake.
Evil omen is still the cry in many
parts of the world whenever a black
cat approaches a cradle. Many persons
are so superstitious that the appear
ance of a black cat in a sickrcom is
considered equivalent to an announce
ment of an approaching death. What
could be more absurd?
Mothers need not be afraid of cats,
black, white or green, sucking their
babies breath and numbering them. 1t
is time that this popular fallacy should
he exploded.-New York World

Remembering Each Other.

He sat on the sand at Atlantic City
in a bathing suit. About ten feet
away she was drawing pictures in the
sand with a small brown forefinger.
He noticed her complexion, her curves
and the CLINT of gold in her hair. He
wanted to speak, and yet. Finally
he summoned courage and walked
over to her.
Didn't l talk with you for about
five minutes two summers ago?" he
asked.

The first pantomime introduced to

was in the year 1902. 1t was produced
at Drury Lane. The great institutor
of pantomime in England was, how
ever, John Rich, who despised this
form of entertainment in 1717. His
first emphatic success was in 1924,
when he produced THE Necromancer;
