5 To tie UnknOy0r1 God 5

Never was there recorded time
since man commenced to keep the
scanty, scattered records of his race,
that this great globe has been more
"Money Mad" than she turns to be
today.
Through all five continents of the
earth everything is money, money,
money. 'The Unknown God"
What's he worth? What's he got?
The common question is, when a
sober, mindful man reads the de-
tails in the papers, of some mon
strous rich mans death, he naturally
wonders, what has been his life?
What good did he ever do? Not SO
today my Lord! It's this; what was
he worth? Who did he leave it to?
Who's his executor?
Pierpont Morgan was at the bed
side of his dying friend, to talk
about his future no, his futures

Bondage of Old Books

"The bondage of books is the
sweetest bondage-and probably the
most eXpensive-in the world"
Collectors of old and rare volumes,
or even of the more modern works
of living writer's, doubtless will
agree with this statement made by
+. T. j. Nunan, representative of
an eastern publishing house. Mr..
Nunan dares them to dispute it. For
many years he has lived in the bond
age of which he speaks.
"The extent to which book lovers
will allow their literary tastes to
carry them is amazing" Mr.. Nunan
said. "I've been buying books ever
since l. can remember and I'm not
through yet. | presume the amount
of money 1 have spent on volumes I
desired to add to my collection would
furnish a big palace-but l don't

Look at the public brides in our
senate. Look at Lorimer, "Ho!
every one that runneth, bring your
money, well fix the price, is the
slogan of the day-"By these things

licit for the raging heather. Don't
let the heather rage for anything,

situations to raise the money for the
raging heather, have warped a
pretty story of a poor plebian Jew,
who was born on trip to pay taxes,
was sold and the price was paid for
a graveyard! (The nearest violence
He ever did was on account of
money!
Is it any wonder that looking

Sun Cooks Eggs on Desert

II have noticed Washingtonians
gather about the kiosk and increase
their vigorous hopping of brows
when they see the official register in
dictate the temperature at 100 de-
grees or more. You who have not
been out on the desert tracts of the
west do not know what hot weather
is" remarked M. NJ. Mason, Of Hell
ena, Mont, at the Raleigh.
"a few miles north of Helena we
have town called Havre, that is the
hottest in summer and the coolest in
winter in the United States. About
this time of the year the usual Their
mOmeter has not a tube long enough
for the full rise of the mercury. In
the shade, and there is mighty little
shade in Havre, it will register from
116 to 100 degrees. In the sun it
will run from 40 to 100, on ordinar-
lily cool days. In the winter the drop
takes the mercury down to anywhere
from 80 to As degrees below zero,
with full, clean sweep of bittef-cold
winds over the desert lands that sur
round the town.
"You can place an egg on the
ground, cover it with thin layer of
sand, and in about 10 minutes it will
be baked as thoroughly as if cooked
in an oven.
"There is less suffering there at
120 degrees than here at between 90
and 100, for we have practically no
register of humidity. After all, it is
that which makes heat unbearable.-

While crowded with an audience
composed largely of women and chill

Empire theatre collapsed, due 10 the
carelessness of workmen who made

The sudden descent of the timbers
and other debris caused panic. and
those who were not pinioned to the
floor fought to reach the exits, adding
considerably to the list Of the injur-

BADAJOZ, April 12.-After four
four successive postponements, the
Portuguese provisional government
seems definitely to have made up it's
mind to stick to May IA as the date
for the national election. This un-
doubtedly means that the ministry

Should there be slip. giving the

CircIed over Hot Springs.


HOT SPRINGS, Ark, April 12.-
Shortly before 10 O'Clock Tuesday
morning balloon was seen passing
over Hot Springs, going in northerly
direction at a rapid rate of speed. AS
the balloon sped rapidly over the city
the pilot dropped a number of paper
circulars, but they were blown by the
wind far out Of the city limits, and
none have been returned The bal
loon is said to have been that in
which H. E. Honeywell and j. w.
Tolland started from San Antonio in
an effort to break the long distance
fight record and win the I.ahm cup.
This belief was strengthened by the
report from an outlying district to the
effect the pilot in the balloon had
called to him through a magaphone,
saying he started from San Antonio.
Apparently the balloon was caught
in an air current and hurled back in
the direction of Hot Springs and car
ried in circle over the city, for
shortly after 10 O'clock the balloon
was sighted a second time about "a
mile in midair over the city and trav-
cling in the same direction as it did
the first time. Hundreds of citizens
saw the balloon.
