not a very successful ruler. Half in
Jest, half in earnest. he suggested his

tombstone: Here lies Joseph, un-
fortunate in all his undertakings" He
was a good man. with excellent in
tentions: but somehow his plans al
most invariably lei wrong. BE good
and you will be.happy'' did not seem
to apply in his case. The truth Is.
he was lacking i judgment. He was
a Jealous reformer and deeply con
cerned for the welfare Of his subjects;
but he went about it in the wrong way.
He tried to reform people with a ham,
mer, and totally disregarded their feel
ings in the matter. Many of them did
not even know they needed reforming.
Joseph had about as much tact as a
runaway horse in u flower garden. He
probably did not know it, but this lack
of judgment was largely the cause OF
his being unfortunate in all his under
takings."

From the Christian Herald.
Mrs. Stowe states the truth effectively

Of work in the home, or the church. or the

and yet not one word of encouragement

pathetic in life than to see men. women,

FARMER BURNS NOW
IN CHARGE OF TRAINING

Humboldt Special: Several in
teresting phases are presented in the
coming OF Martin (Farmer) Burns. the
d%iscoverer of Gotch. the most sug-
gestive OF which is the enmity existing
between Burns and Hackenschmidt.
The farmer started on the trail Of the
big Russian shortly after Hacks"
debut in America. urging on Ysuiff
Mahomet. who became obsessed with
the idea that he was made especially
to trim the giant from the London
music halls. But now an entirely new
element enters into animosity Of
Burns; namely. the pride he nurses in
his mat relationship to Gotch.
The place Burns will assume In the
training will be to coach Gotch in the
general plan of attack and defense
but principally in the aggressive. This
has been Gotch's chief style Of grap-
pling and he owes not a little OF 1t to
his sponsor and first tutor. Burns has
been mapping out his plans for some
weeks and it was he who suggested the
training corps now in h champions
camp. This fact of itself is significant
of the friendly feeling between Burns
and the champion.

Now she keeps the we'll absolutely free

A Beautiful Specimen.
Pauline is a beautiful specimen of
trout. When h appears in broad day
light in her slippery beauty. she is in
deed a fish such as is rearely met with
even in the most prolific streams. That
she would make an ideal breakfast Is
certain.
Sad to relate, Pauline is a cannibal.
She is not only willing to keep Mr..
Green's well free from worms, but she
is unwilling to have any other living
creature with her in the we'll. When
Mrs. Green throws down to her meals
of bread, cake. beefseak or minnows,
she snaps them all up.

One day. after Mrs. Green had ac-

large worm, thinking it was water,
she became angry. She sat down on
a nearby o and declared that she
would not get up from said rock un-
til she had found a way to rid that

visions of themselves making Mrs
Green's bed en- the rock, bringing food
to her. etc.
But Mrs. Green found a plan. In

: BITS OF HISTORY.

BY A. w. Macy.

A King Who Sat on Throne 400 Years
In the cathedral at Aachen or AK
la-Chapelle. may be seen a marble
throne on which a ruler sat for nearly
400 years. He was the Emperor
Charlemange. or Charles the Great. At
his death in S14 his body clothed IN
imperial robes, was placed on the
throne, in a sitting position. On his
head was placed a crown. in his right
hand u scepter. and in his lap an open
copy OF the gospels. In 1901 Emperor
Otto III. had the vault opened, and 1t
is aid the body was found in an TX
cellent state of preservation. In 1916
Emperor Frederick III. had it removed
from the vault and placed In a gold
and silver coffin, in which it Is still
kept, in the treasury of the cathedral.
From 1915 to 1858 this marble throne
was used in the coronation ceremonies
of the German emperors. After that
they We're crowned at Frankfort.

What !. Cost to Discover America.

1t is difficult to make an accurate
estimate OF what it cost to discover
America. All the documents agree that
the total expense of fitting out the three
little vessels with which Columbus
sailed was LAO, 900 maravedis, but the
difficulty is to ascertain the value of
that coin at the time. A maravedi Is q
small copper coin of Spain, supposed to
be worth about 3 mills of American
money. The coins OF a country usually
decrease In value as the country grows
older, n some authorities claim that
in the time OF Columbus a maravedi
was equal to I mills. If such was the
case, the expense to the Spanish gov
was about $4,000. OF course
the pay OF the officers and crew should
be included, but that was not excessive.
The annual salary of Admiral Christie
pher Columbus was equal to 1920
American money: OF the three captains,
1872 each. and of the three pilots, about
$40 each. The sailors We're paid at the
rate of 1915 a month. The ships ply
sician could not ave been considered a
very important parsonage, as his salary
Was equal to sss-5o per annu'n.
Father Mathews Temperance Work
One hundred and fifty thousand con-
verts to sobriety within a few months
in one city is a good record. That is
the result credited to the work OF
Father Mathew in the city of Cork
about the year 1888. From Cork the
movement spread all over Ireland. and
even some parts Of England felt It's
influence. Perhaps never before or
since has a temperance movement as
suned such proportions or been fol-
lowed by such great results. The work
done by Father Mathew. involved great
personal sacrifice. for his family owned
a large distillery from which he had
been accustomed to receive large divi-
dends each year. The crusade of which
off in tho drinking of the working
classes that the distillery had to close.
Father Mathew spent some time in the
United States in 1850. and founded nj.
merous total abstinence societies.
