at the luncheon table. Opposite him
was his young lady cousin, who min

paths Of knowledge. Just now in her
intense way she was trying to teach
him how to divide an orange into quar-.

Again and again she led up to the
point that she wished him to think out
and as often he failed to follow.
As she leaned forward, wholly alb

WALKING to Health.

When there is no organic weakness
which is aggravated by the exertion it
is the easiest and pleasantest thing to
walk right into health. OF course there
is no virtue in dawdling walk. The
slow and languid dragging of one foot
after the other, which some people call
walking, would tire an athlete 1t ut
terly exhausts a weak person, and that
is the reason why many delicate peo-
pie think they cannot walk. To derive
any benefit from the exercise 1t is
necessary to walk with light, elastic
step, which swings the weight Of the
body so easily from one leg to the other
that its weight is not felt and which
produces a healthy glow, showing that
the sluggish blood Is stirred to action
in the most remote veins. This sort Of
walking exhilarates the whole body,
gives tone to the nerves and produces
Just that sort of healthful fatigue
which encourages sound, restful sleep.

How Rain Bores Holes,

When rain falls 1t does not actually
soak into the earth, but bores its way
in, forming tiny tubes. These tubes
are SO small that 1t would be impos-
sible to insert hair In one of them
without bursting its wall. Sometimes
the tubes are bored down to a depth
of four or five feet When the surface
dries, the water evaporates from the
tubes, just as 1t would from a pipe.
II the tube Is twisted 1t takes longer
for the water to evaporate. If one
takes a rake and stirs the ground after
each rain he breaks the tops of the
tubes, and the water will stand in
them for months. In this way the
farmers Of the west, on the semiarid
lands, store the rninfall one year and
raise a crop Of wheat every other
year, there being sufficient water in
two years, but not enough in one. to
raise a crop.-Harper's.

A Chinese Incident.


"Tn tell you a true story" said q
missionary, that illustrates the nobtl
fly of the Chinese character.
"a drunken Cossack in Manchuria
shot a Chinaman fatally. 1t was nee
essary to identify the fellow, and hall
a dozen Cossacks were brought to the
Chinaman's deathbed for that purpose
he, however, refused to point out his
murderer, saying;
"Why should he be killed, since
must die in any caser
'They explained that the Cossach
would not be put to death, but only Sc
verely punished, for his crime. There
upon the Chinaman said:
"'But why punish him, since he is al.
ready forgiven
ITO this they made answer that the
punishment would not be a revenge,
but a deterrent 1t would keep the
COssack from repeating such heinous
crime.
"But the Chinaman only shook bis
head.
"He won't repeat It anyway he
said, when he knows that / forgive
him. "-Minneapolis Journal

The Benefit Of BORROW.

BY sorrow men learn that they need
to be fed with higher food, that they
must rest on stronger supports, that
they must have other friends and 9TH

thing that neither time nor chance nor

When Andrew Lang Forgot.

Andrew Lang was absentminded at
times. Once he paid visit to Scotch
professor at university where he lee
tured. He was to catch return train
early In the morning, and breakfast
was ordered for 0 o'clock, but at $50
a Mortified maid announced to the fam
lily that some one had stolen Mr..
Lang's clothes and he couldn't get up.
The host went to Mr.. Lang's room and
found him sitting up In bed in his
mOnocie and pajamas. There was no
sign of any other garment in the room.
The host went downstairs to summon
the police, but before he could get a
connection by the state owned tele-
phone the maid came running down to
say that Mr.. Lang's rigging had been
found. He had folded up his clothes
the night before and put them under
his pillow because the pillow was too
low and then forgotten all about it.

PART BRIDAL COUPLES
Only One Of Ten Was Not Separated
Before Titanic Went
Down,

Special to the Pioneer Press.
New York. April 18.-There were ten
bridal couples aboard the Titanic, and
only n OF them was not separated.
This fortunate young couple, in an In
terview given on The pier. said they
were the only ones who did not be-
come separated. all of which. they
maintained. was due to the fact that
there was no panic at first. The BRIDE
groom. therefore, was allowed to enter
the boat with his bride. The lucky
couple got away from he pier shortly
after their experiences had been told
to the reporter by a man on the pier.
He said he believed they were Mr.. and
Mrs. George Harder.
The groom" said the reporters in
formant. related an incident to me Of
a man less fortunate than himself.
This ma the groom told me, just be-
fore the panic set In was standing at
the gangwav where the women were
being loaded into a boat INC made a
move as though to enter the boat. An
officer approached and ordered the man
away. Not moving quickly enough to
satisfy the officer, the latter walked to
the man and knocked him down. The
man. instead Of falling to the deck, fell
head first INTO the boat. and, though
stunned bv the fall. he soon revived
and found himself still In the boat
which by that time was being lowered.
The man was saved as a result.

Harold Cotton, the marine onera for
of the Carpathia. did not go to bed
at his usual time Sunday night. and
as a result caught the first message of
the Iitanic's plight. He had been re-
laying messages to the Titanic on Sun
day night. and shortly after II O'Clock

miles Intervening between the two
ships.
"'M AFRAID We ARE CONE"
Before Cotton could make reply to
the c. Q. u. the Titanic's I'm afraid
we are gone" Cotton sent word Of the
coming of the Carpathia. No further
communication was had with the
doomed ship.
