An s-year-old pupil in the eighteenth
district school showed mentality
quite beyond her years In her draw
ing class not long ago.
The teacher read the children the
fable of the hare and the tortoise ana
then asked them to illustrate It,
Little Susan did her picture quickly
and easily and was the first to hand
one to the teacher. The teacher was
surprised to find nothing on the Ia
per but long winding path and
solitary tree.
Haven't you forgotten to finish
your picture?" she asked Of Susan.

SOME OLD TIME PREACHERS
In Pioneer Days In Missouri Every d.
vine Carried Gun With Him
to Church.

Nearly every pioneer preacher IN
Missouri was as expert in the use OF
the rife as any Of the laymen. says
writer in the Globe-Democrat sery.
Ices were usually held in neigh
boris cabin. Notice Of meeting.
was promptly and generally circu'
lated, and the settlers attended. uni.
formly bringing their rifles to guard
against possible surprises or to OBJ
tain game on the way to or from the
service.
The practice Of carrying firearms
was not abandoned or suspended even
on the Sabbath. An old pioneer states
that on one occasion religious serv.
Ices were held in Saline county when
the preacher proclaimed the gospel OF
peace with his hand and his clothing
covered with blood from deer that
he had killed and butchered on his
way to the meeting that morning.
The pioneer preachers labored with
out money and without price. They
gained their subsistence as did their
neighbors. by the rifle and by their
daily toll in the clearings and the
corn fields.
Rev. Justinian Williams, Methodist,
and Rev. Peyton Nowlin and Rev.
Thomas Kinney. Baptists, were the
first preachers in Saline county. They
preached on Edmonson's Creek. and
in the Big Bottom. "Old Man Now
lin," as he was called, was sedate
gentleman. dry as to manners and ser.
mons, but with kind heart and good
intention.
His colleague, Kinney, however. was
Of jovial disposition and very pop
ular. He was without literary at
tainments, but invariably provoked his
congregation to laughter. Nowlin
took him to task upon one occasion
for his levity. Kinney answered.:
well, I'd rather preach to laughing
devils than to sleepy ones. as you do.
You make them sleep and I make
them laugh. My congregation will
pass yours on the road to heaven. I
bet you coonskin they will"

GravItatlon.

The great Newton himself did not
pretend to know what gravitation is.
He only knew that it existed and he
was able to prove how 1t acted, but
what 1t was in and of itself he never
knew. Gravitation is law of nature.
or force acting in accordance with
a law Of nature. and that is all that
the wisest man is able to say about
it-unless he is prepared to talk nom
sense. It Is like electricity. We know
perfectly we'll what electicity itself
does, but what electricity itself is baf-

Stone Venus 10000 Years Old.

the last meeting of the French Acad-

covery in the Dordogne of the Oldest

1t consists of piece Of stone some
eighteen inches high showing bas

to be at least 10000 years old. The

Appropriation Too Small.
Why congress appropriated only
$3.50, 600 for the new service, when the
cost of 10000 scales required will be
from $780, 600 to $500, 900, and the pUr-
chase of necessary wagons, rental OF
storage space and employment of eX-
ira labor Will many times exceed
that sum, IS a puzzle.
1t will be necessary that additional
appropriations be made at the session
Of congress beginning next December
in order that that the parcel post may
be carried on efficiently until the
funds of the next fiscal year become
available on June 80 Already post
masters all over the country are max
ing contra cts for the hiring of wagons
and automobiles for the local delivery
service.
Postmaster general Hitchcock says
the service viii start efficiently AMI
promptly. How long it can continue
after January viii depend on congress
siOnal appropriations.
There are approximately $1,000 post
offices III the United States. All Of
them must be equipped to handle

In the heart Of old Europe where

to suit their own selfish purposes, a
new power has arisen with the uneZ-

a volcanic island emerging from the

Like a thunderbolt he has de

upon the trembling cusps Of the golden
