MOVING STONE OF TANDIL

One morning every true Argentiniar
was shocked by the news Of the fall
OF La Piedra Movediza de Tandip'-
the Moving Stone of Tandil. No one
knows how many centuries this huge
rock, which the A~rgentines proudly
proclaimed as one OF the Seven Won
ders OF the World, had stood among
the granite hills Of Tandil, perfectly
poised on Its narrow fulcrum less than
eight inches square.
The Tandil quarries are situated
about 250 miles south OF Buenos Aires,
and every summer tourists have been
occustmed to make the pilgrimage
from the capital to view the national
phenomenon and carve their names on
It's ancient sides. Standing in a Ger.
tain position, a child could cause the
great stone to rock I'D and down fully
four inches. Visitors never tired OF
throwing under 1t, as 1t swung up
wards, pieces OF glass and small
stones, which would be crushed to pow
der on the downward sway.
Tradition has 1t that the tyrant
Rosa, a name Of Ill omen in Argentine
history, In a savage mood some 30
years ago, tried to dislodge the Nov
ing Stone, using 40 yoke Of oxen to
accomplish his purpose. Whether the
story Is true OF not, the old sentinel

the surrounding fertile plains, appar.
emily undisturbed by either the friend
or the hostility OF mankind. The
elements likewise we're foiled In their
warfare, though once a bolt of light
ming ripped off a piece weighing about
tons.
What finally caused the downfall OF
giant bowlder is a mystery, Many
and varied were the theories ad.
'anced by the groups around the cafe
ables, and the fall of the stone be-
'ame the basis Of many a heated ar.
All the papers contained eu.
ogies Of the fallen monarch, and the
whole nation mourned the passing OF
his famous feature Of Argentine seer
ry.

CHARITIES OPEN
 OFFICE IN CITY
REGULARLY ORGANIZED NOW AND READY TO ENTERTAIN ALL
 WORTHY CASES.
Partial Report of the Work and the Conditions That Are Opened on
 Field on New Endeavor5.

The Associated Charities of Hot Springs opened it's office at 924 Cen tral avenue in the Bijou Skating Rink Tuesday a week ago. No special an aouncement to that effect was made at the time the office was opened for the reason that the organization de sired to feel it's way, so to speak. to convince itself and the public of the necessity of it's existence The ex- periences of the first weeks active work of the organization is eloquent testimonials to the great task task before it and to the urgent need of its ex- istence.
 During the first week S1 applica- tions were received, of which number l2 were local cases. Neighbors and charitably inclined people report to the office the dire distress of twelve families residing in this city that are without fuel and without food up- on proper investigation the necessary help was extended to these families.
 The distress among the many poor sick who came here from other cities in search of health Is simply inde- seribable. Many of them are suffer ing in this biting weather mostly for clothing and shoes. Many a heart.breaking tale of misery is told to this office daily. Nineteen poor strangers applied to the office, some for shoes and clothing, others for board and lodging, and still others foi medicine and medical treatment. All that could be done was done by the associated charities to relieve imme diate distress. Several physicians re sponded generously and administer ed to those who were in need of treat ment. In one case the office was fortunate enough in obtaining some substantial assistance from the mem bers of the applicants family, who ev- dently were not aware of his sad plisht. Two women were taken care of by the Bethel Home.
 If this severe weather continues, demands upon the Associated Char ities will increase in proportion. Clothing and shoes are especially need ed Coal and wood will have to be provided for many poor families. It is the aim of the board to see to 1t that no worthy poor may never be compelled to sleep in the open in this severe weather, or go hungry for the sake of means of buying meal.
 The Associated Charities have great task before them but is no. ble one and is we'll worthy of the utmost effort.
 This task will demand confidential friends. The office is sending out letters to the citizens of the city to come to the assistance Of the Asso- ciated Charities. Have you subscrib ed yet to this eause2.
