JOY OF FINDING

oh, the joy of having a lost ar
ticle returned safely, What
happiness comes after the real
ization of the loss of a pre-
cious keepsake, a jewel or an
heirloom, and its prompt re-
covery.
The lost and found columns
of the Wants are brimful of
human interest. radiating ex-
pectancy and hope. A large
percentage of them accomplish
their desires for losers and
finders of lost articles look
first to the Want Columns To
recover lost articles of value.
One of the great advantages
of the Wants is that they are
quick in action often accom-
plishing their object in a few
hours after Want is tele-
phoned or mailed.

Bio Poker Stakes.

Many stories Of big poker games
among the western cattlemen in the
early days have been told, but this
story of the game with probably the
greatest stakes is really true. Two
well known cattlemen of southwestern
Kansas, one of whom is now a promi-
nent business man In Kansas City,
started to move their herds to the
pastures Of Wyoming. Each herd con-
tained more than a thousand head Of
cattle. When they came to the cross
ing of the Arkansas river near Coo
lidge they found a food on. They
were unable to cross for two or three
days. To while away the time the
two men engaged in poker game.
When the flood finally subsidized so
that the cattle could proceed one Of
the cattlemen said to his son, who
was helping to drive, Just turn my
herd over to our neighbor and we will
60 back home" He had bet and lost
not only all the money he had, but all
Of the herd of cattle.-Kansas City
Journal.

Early Railroad EIiars.

When the first passenger railroad
ever built was opened in England in
1925 the train Travelled from one end
Of the line to the other, a distance Of
twelve miles, In two hours. And Wood,
one Of the best known writer's on the
subject Of railroads at that day, wrote
as follows:
Nothing can do more harm to the
adoption Of railways than the promul-
cation of such nonsense as that we
shall see locomotives travelling at the
rate Of twelve miles an hour"
Today. with locomotives travelling at
the rate Of seventy-fve miles an hour.
one can look at Woods warning with
feeling Of amusement. In 1920
locomotive was introduced in this coun-
try, and in the following year Peter
Cooper experimental with a locomotive
on the B. and o. railroad. The flues
Of the boiler were made from gun bar
rels. The boiler was about the size of
n flour barrel. Cooper related with
considerable satisfaction how on the
trial trip Of this engine he passed
gray horse attached to a wagon.-New
York World.

Movinu Troops by Rail.

"Let US suppose it became necessary
to send the entire national guard Of
New York out of the state, how long
would it take the railroads to handle
themT was asked a railroad official
In New York.
"Twenty-four hours, easy" was the
instant reply. This is under war
conditions, remember, which means
that everything gives way to the
movement of troops and their equip
ment. The railroads Of America can
handle men and war material Of all
kinds, including everything from
horses and men to cannon and rations,
much faster than they can be assem-
bled and delivered to us. In fact, un-
der war conditions the railroads are
prepared to do their part quicker and
better, with more certainty and better
speed, than any other part of the ma
chinery, commercial or military, In
America. ."-Railroad Mans Magazine.

Two Women.

In her book woman and Labor"
Olive Schreiner gives an amusing illus
tration Of the fact that 1t Is not the
amount Of money n person has which
makes him or her a parasite on soci-
ETY., but the way 1t is used.
The wife Of an American million
aire," says Mrs Schreiner, was visit
ed by woman, the daughter and wild
ow Of a small professional man. She
stated that she was In need Of both
food and clothing. The milllonaire's
wife gave her leg Of mutton and two
valuable dresses. The woman pro-
ceeded to whine, though in vigorous
health, that she had no one to carry
them home for her. The American,
the descendant Of generations Of able,
laboring, New England Puritan wom-
en-, tucked the leg of mutton under
one arm and the bundle of clothes un-
der the other and walked off down
the city street toward. the woman's
dwelling, followed by the astonished
pauper parasite"

Black FRIDAYS.

In England the term Black Friday
was first applied TO Dec. 6, 1745, the
day on which news reached London
that the pretender, Charles Edward,
had reached Derby. Again on May IL,
1866, when the failure of large Eng
lish discounting institution brought on
a most disastrous panic, the day was
called Black Friday. On the day Of
the suspension the Bank of England
raised the rate Of discount 0 per cent.
Wild speculation in gold in New York
and other cities eliminated in none
tary crash on Sept. 16, 1875, that swept
thousands of firms and individuals into
financial ruin and caused a commercial
depression that extended into the eight
les Of the last century; hence the origin
of the term Black Friday in the United
States.

Juggernaut.

Juggernaut-or lord Of the world
was supposed to be one Of the In
carnations of Krishna. The idol Is
formed of an irregular pyramidal black
stone, with two large diamonds to rep
resent eyes. The nose and mouth are
painted vermilion. An immense num-
Der of pilgrims visit the idol annually,
reaching up into the millions. Jugger-
nAut worship used to be terrible
thing, but 1t Is not what 1t once was.
The state allowance TO the temple was
suspended by the Indian government
In 1851, and the festivals are growing
less and less popular year by year.
The growing intelligence of the people
and the restraining influence Of the
government are doing their work, and
Juggernaut is steadily losing ground

A Marvel of Insect Mechanism.

The sting of a certain Indian fly Of
fers as marked an example of design
in nature as can well be imagined.
When seen through magnlfying glass
1t is found to be composed Of three
sharp blades folded into one with
their cutting edges outward and run
ming down to one fine point. When
the fly inserts this up TO the hilt In its
victim the three blades fly apart, and
then 1t is seen that each inner edge Is
n beautiful saw, worked by six sep
arate muscles, so that when with
drawn the instrument rips its way out
with gush of blood. But now comes
the most curious provision Of all. 1t
would not do to fold up these blades
with the blood adherlng to them, so
each blade is provided at Its base with
n fine brush of hairs growing out of
an oil gland, which provides an anti
septic secretion to keep the blades
clean.

The Size Of Some Stars.

NJ. Nordmann Of the Paris observa.
tory believes that he has devised
successful method Of determining
the diameters Of stars by comparison
Of their effective temperatures with
their parallaxes. In the case of some
Of the brightest stars he has reached
interesting results. Thus he finds that
Aldebaran, the bright star in Taurus,
is veritably giant sun, the ratio Of its
diameter to that Of our sun being
greater than that Of the sun to he
planet Jupiter. This means that Aide
baran has diameter probably not less
than 100000 miles, or more than
thirty times the distance from the
earth to the moon. On the other hand,
Sirius, or the dog star, to our eyes the
brightest of all the stars, is, accord
ing to NJ. Nordmann, but little larger
than our sun.

China as a Buffer.

Professor Ian c. Hannah in his
book, Eastern Asla-A History" says
hat taxicabs, or, rather, automatic
registers attached to horse cabs, were
invented about $50 A. d., during the
Tang dynastry In China. In his opln-
on the Chinese empire Is "the great
est bluff in the world" and 1t sug-
yests to him a very ancient Chinese
fable. which he relates.
A monkey was captured by a tiger.
Tie whined that he was thin and his
flesh Of poor taste, but he knew Of a
ine fat donkey for the tiger. The IT,
ger consented to be led to where the
donkey was tied. When the donkey
saw them coming he was frightened,
but recovered his composure and bawl-
I'd in his masterful donkey voice:
Monkey, you used to bring me two
tigers Why only one todayf"
The tiger did record hustle back to
the jungle.
China, says Professor Hannah, has
shown much of that donkey's resource
fulness In Its history.
