Jack Shsppard as a Text.

Jack Sheppard had a great hold upon
the imagination of the people of his
time. The fact that 100000 people wit
messed his execution at Tyburn on
Nov. Is, 1924. upon the tree that bears
twelve times a yeare" is some witness
to his grim popularity. But one Of the
strangest tributes ever paid him was
the sermon preached upon him in a
London church
''Oh, that We were all like Jack Shep-
pard" began the preacher, to the stu
pefactiOn Of his congregation. He went
on to draw a parallel between things
Of the flesh and those of the soul and
TO point out that the genius shown in
hOusebreaking might have been be-
slowed upon picking the locks Of the
heart with the nail of repentance. -

BURN YOUR BRIDGES.
We Are So Constituted That When 9
Retreat is Left Open We Are
Apt to Turn Back.

Young men often make the mistake
when they start on an important un-
dertaking Of leaving open a way of
retreat if things go too hard, says ORR
son SWEET Marden in Success Maga-
zine. No one can call out his greatest
reserves, do the greatest thing pos
sible to him, while he knows that if
the battle gets too hot he has line Of
retreat still left open. Only when
there is no hope of escape will an
army fight with that spirit of des-
peratiOn which gives no quarter.
Many a great general in his march
on the enemy has burned his bridges
behind him, cut off his only possible re
treat, for the bracing, encouraging ef-
feet upon himself and his army, be-
cause he knew that men only call out
their greatest reserves of power when
all retreat is cut off and when fight
ing desperately for that which they
count deaTeT than life.
We are so made that as long as
there is q chance to retreat, as long
as there are bridges behind us, we are
tempted to turn back when the great
test comes.

The Husky Jamaican Didn't Care 60

An English naval officer tells Of be-
ing on war vessel which took pro-
visions to st. Kits, one of the Brit
ish West India islands. A hurricane
had left many of the inhabitants in a
destitute or even starving condition.
Hungry crowds gathered at the wharf.
but refused to help unload the food
that was TO be given to them unless

A similar story sheds light on the
Jamaican negro. Some years ago a
hurricane devastated the island, and a
large relief sum was raised. much of
it in England and the United States.
The committee having charge of this
fund sent a wagon load of lumber to
a husky black man whose house had
been scattered over the parish. He
and his family were living in a rude
shack, made out of odds and ends.
'Wh8t's that fur?' he asked Of the
men who were unloading the material
in front of mis- patch of ground.
That's for your new house." was
the reply. "It's from the relief fund
and won't cost you anything"

THE YELLED PROPHET.
Was Most Noted impostor of the Mid
die Ages, Dupins His Followers
by the Art of Juuaiery.

The celebrated "Veiled ProDbetp of
history was a Moslem fanatic whose
real name was Haken Ibn Hasbem.
He was born about the middle of the
eighth century and became the most
noted impOstOr Of the middle ages.
He pretended that he was an embodi-
ment Of the spirit Of the Giving God"
and, being very proficient in iugglery
(which the ignorant mistook for the
power to work miracles), soon drew
an immense number of followers
around him. He always wore a gold
mask, claiming that he did so to pro-
tect the mOrtals Of this earth, who. he
said, could not look upon his face and
live.
At last, after thousands had Quilted
the city and even left the employ OF
the Caliph al Mohdi to join the fanat-
ical movement, an army was sent
against the ''Veiled Prophet" forcing
him to fee for safety to the castle at
Keh, north Of the Oxus. Finally,
when ultimate defeat was certain, the
prophet killed and burned his whole
family and then threw himself into
the flames, being entirely consumed,
except his hair. which was kept in a
museum at Bagdad until the time Of
the crusades. He promised his faith
full followers that he would reaDpear
to them in the future dressed in white
ana riding a white horse.

A GR0TESoUE BIRD.
Remarkable Assortment of coIors ard
Peculiar Shaped Beak Of the
Brazilian Touean.

The very peculiar looking Brazilian
bird, the toucan, has a body about as
big as that of good sized parrot, but
its beak is very different and easily
its dominant feature. though this bird
is by no means lacking in bright and
striking coIors. The tOucan's beak Is
half as long as its body, and it is broad
and thin and set on edge vertically,
shaped something like blunted
scythe, with the slightly curving,
rounded edge on top and ending with
a hook point turned dOwnward-a re-
markable beak in size and shape-aRd
assortment of cOlors, purple and red
and green and yellow, while around
the beak at the head runs a line OF
black.
The eyes Of the toucan are surround
ed by circles Of bright light blue, and
on its breast, regularly outlined, is q
broad and deep expanse Of bright vel
low in size and shape in proportion TO
the bird about the same as the gener-
Gus expanse Of shirt front shown by
man In evening dress with his waist
coat cut low and we'll rounded out at
the bottom, this show OF yellow being
edged with a red line. The tOucan's
body for the bulk Of It is black or b
very deep blue black, but around att
the base of the tail run two bands OF
color, one red and one white.
1t is not a song bird. 1t is sold as
pet. not for children, but to adults,
and it is more often fancied by men
than by women. 1t takes $50 to $50 TO
buy a tOucan-New York Sun.

Want Their Children Thieves.

The Kakha Khels, a tribe that in
habits the country Of the Khyber pass
in northern India. are thieves and con-
slider thieving a most honorable Occu-
patton. A young woman Of the Kakha
Khel will not look at a young man
who would like to become her husband
unless he is proficient in the art. The
dearest wish Of a mother is that her
little boy may become a cunning thief.
Every child is consecrated, as it were,
at its birth to crime. A hole is made
In the wall similar to that made by
burglar, and the mother passes the in
FAINT backward and forward through
the hole, singing in its ear: "Be

ROD AND LINE WON.
Contest Between a Strong Swimmer
and an Expert Angler.

and an Expert Angler.
A novel contest took place some tins
ago at the Endinburgh corporation
baths between one Of the strongest
swimmers in Scotland and a well
known angler. The contest occurred
in a pool eighty feet long and forty
feet wide.
The angler was furnished with an
eleven foot trolling rod and an IN
dressed silk ine. The line was fixed
to a girth belt, made expressly for the
purpose, by a swivel Immediately be-
tween the shoulders Of the swimmer
at the point where he had the greatest
pulling power.
In the first trial the line snapped. In
the second the angler gave and played
without altogether Stacking line, and
several pOrpoise dives were well han.
died. The swimmer then tried cross
swimming from corner to corner, but
ultimately was beaten, the match end
ing with a victory for the rod and
line
Another contest took place In which
the angler employed a very light trout
ing rod ten feet long and weighing
only six and One-half ounces, the line
being the same as that used with the
trolling rod. The swimmer, whose aim
evidently was to smash the rod, pulled
and leaped into the water He was
held steadily, however, and in about
five minutes was forced TO give in
The rod was again successful. At the
finish both competitors were almost
exhausted.
