Buried In Secret.

Two ancient kings were buried In Sc
cret. Attila, king of the Huns, after
his siege Of Rome, died in Hungary
A. D. 453. His soldiers, DESTROYS Of
giving their great leader a right royal
burial, inclosed his body first in a
casket Of gold. this in one of silver and
this in one OF lead, and transported 1t
into a desert. There slaves were Sc
lected, and under the direction of men
who were sworn to secrecy they dug
the grave Of the dead monarch. When
this was accomplished no traces of the
spot were left. The slaves were all
cruelty slain.
Alar1c, king Of the Goths. the cele-
brated conqueTor Of Rome, died when
with his army at Cozenza. south Italy.
His men turned the course Of a river,
inferred the body of their sovereign,
with much treasure, In its bed and
restored the stream to its channel.
No man has ever lighted on the rest
ing place Of either Of these kings, who
in this respect resemble Moses, Of
whom 1t is written, mo man knoweth
Of his sepulcher unto this day"

Died From Bad WritInc.

German handwriting attains a de-
gree of ELIGIBILITY unknown in Latin
script. A tragic instance Of this fact
was afforded by the death Of Johann
Bacher, an Austrian musician Of the
last century. Bacher spent most of
his leisure for fifteen years in compil-
ing history Of the Viennese opera.
When the manuscript was completed
he submitted it to the Imperial acad-
envy, which had promised to publish it.
In three months 1t was returned with
a statement that no member of the
academy could decipher It, Bacher
then sought to have 1t copied, but no
copyist capable Of deciphering 1t was
to be found. As last resource he de-
termined to dictate his work to an
amanuensis only to discover that the
greater part Of the manuscript was
illegible even to himself The thought
Of his wasted years of labor unhinged
his brain, and in a At of depression he
committed suicide.

Going Back q Long Way

Pick up any peerage book and you
will find 1t bristling with ancestral
names whose presence is much more
difficult to explain than that Of the fly
in the amber And as you descend in
the social scale the fictions multiply
from the pedigrees Of the landed gentry
to the family trees proudly cherished in
hundreds Of middle class homes. But
these lineages. aspiring as they are,
are Of mushroom growth compared
with many that are claimed with seem
ing honesty. At Mostyn hall you may
see vellum roll, seven yards long,
headed by no less famous an ancestor
than Adam, son Of God" Another
pedigree at the college Of heralds
starts thus modestly with Adam and
the garden Of Eden, and Wales has
many q family tree which traces de-
scent with unerring hand from the
same remote origin.

What Became Of the Trousers.

OF Judge Parry's many stories Of the
Manchester county court that about
the comedy of mans Sunday trousers
is one of the best. In the plaintiffs
box was woman, In the defendants
an elderly collier. The plaintiff stated
her case: 81 lent yon mons missis my
mons Sunday trousers to pay is rent
with. an / want 'em back" The de-
PENDANT at first replied, There's nowt
in 1t at ALL" Pressed for more def
mite reply, he scowled at the judge and
protested, why, the ole street knows

Parry was not the "'ole street." and
he patiently encouraged the defendant
to talk until he got the explanation,

A MAN WHO
PAID RENT

a young man came to Seattle 0
or 10 years ago. lie started In by
paying SIG a month rent. From
time TO time the rent changed.
sometimes he paid little less.
sometimes more. The other day he
figured up what this rent amounted
to and the total was about $500.
Just think Of H. and not a thing TO
show for II but bunch OF rent re.
ceipts. He was subjected 10 many
inconveniencles during that time.
such as having TO move Just when
he thought he was settled, having
his rent raised when he couldn't
afford II. etc.
Many times his wife had asked
him why he didn't buy a place, put
that monthly rent money whore II
would get something for the future.
but he had put II off, thinking he
couldn't afford IT,
Finally he found out that his rent
money would really buy him n
home, and now he has, after 10
years, got under a roof that is his.
III you are paying rent as he did
and stacking up bundles Of rent re-
ceipts, Just figure where you'll be
10 years from now under that plan.
Also figure where you can be under
the other plan OF making the rent
money buy the home. In the near
future, with tho aid OF real estate
dealers, we will present a big fea.
ture TO you that will bristle with
home owning possibilities. Watch
for II and take advantage OF It. You
owe your family more than q rented
house.
