They had parted years ago. Now, In
the deepening shadows of Scotland's
twilight, they met again.
"Here be the old stile, Annie he
said
AYE; and here be our initials that
you carved, john" she replied.
The ensuing silence was only bro

head.
Honey-laden memories thrilled
through the twilight and flushed their
glowing cheeks.
"Ah, Annie" exclaimed John, sud-

PROVERBS MOSTLY OLD
MAJORITY HAVE BEEN HANDED
DOWN FOR CENTURIES.
SaEle Meaning Is Expressed In Vary.
Ing Phrases Among Different Ma
tlons-comments on Luck Are
Most Expressive.

Many proverbs have come down to
us from remote ages, and are COM
mon to all nations.
It Is said that a king Of Samos
worked his slaves nearly to death In
making vineyard This provoked
one Of them to prophesy that his mas
ter would never drink the wine The
king, being told OF this, when the
FIRST grapes were produced took a
handful, and, pressing the Juice into a
cup In the presence Of the slave, de-
rided him as a false prophet MANY
things happen between the cup and
the lip" the slave replied
Just then a shout was heard that a
wild boar had broken into the vine
yard. The king, without tasting, set
down the cup, ran to meet it, and was
killed in the encounter. Henceforth
the words of the slave passed into a
proverb.
From this GreeE original came two
French proverbs: Between the hand
and the mouth the soup is often split,
and Wine poured out is not swallow
ed" Neither is so near the original as
our English, There's many a slip
'twixt cup and lip"
It fs curious to trace how similar
ideas have taken root in different Ian
guages and the various modes of Illus
tEating the same thought. For in
%
in our own language. We say, "A
bird I'm the hand is worth two IN the
bush" The same idea is expressed
by Italians when they say, Better IN
egg today than a pullet tomorrow. .
and tho French proverb is stili more
significant, Zone here-itris is better
than two youshail-haveats." Better a
leReTet in the kitchen than Wild boar
in the forest" is tho Livonisn saying
conveying the same meaning.
The proverbs on luck are numerous
and expressive In all languages. In
English we say, ''It Is better to be
born lucky than rich" The Arabs con
vay the same idea in the apt preverh,
Throw him into the Nile and he will
come up wiGh fish in his mouth, -
while the German says, eff he flung a
penny ON the roof a dollar would
come back to him
A Spanish proveTb says, God send
you luck, my son, and little wit will
serve YOU" There is LATIN adage,
Fortune faVors fools" and it Is to
this Touchstone alludes in his reply
to Jacques Gail me not a fool till
heaven hath sent me fortune"
The Germans say, "Jack gets on by
his stupidity" and Fortune and WON.
en- are fond of FOOLS" There is also
Latin proverb which shows that the
converse Of this holds good: Fortune
makes fool OF him whom she too
much favors."
Some unlucky Englishman Is respon-
sfble for the saying: IL my father
had made me a halter, when would
have been born without heads" but
this can scarcely be called original,
as an unfortunate Arab. ages ago, de
clared, ''If I were to trade in winding
sheets no one would die"
"Misfortunes seldom come singiy, 81
has many equivalents in all languages.
The Spaniag1s say, Welcome, mis-
fortune, if thou contest alone" and

John Marshall

John Marshall was not the first
chief justice of the Supreme court of
the United States. That honor be-
longs to John Jay of New York But
it is not at all strange that the idea
of priority should be associated in
the great Virginian. Marshall was by
far the greatest of the Supreme court
judges. He may well be called the
interpreter of the Constitution" for
his memorable decisions established
the constructions that have but sell
dom been departed from. Marshall
was on the Supreme bench from 1901
to 1885 and during those 81 years he
laid the founds ION that promises to
stand while the government Itself en-
dures. In American constitutional
history no name is above llarshalls.

Book Reviews
1.-THE WAY OF AN EAaLEn

India stories are always welcome
because SO few of us know very much
about the far off country, but "The
Way of An Eagle" as written by
E. NJ. Dell, serves to us story OF
thrills,
While sentiment predominates it is
not the sickning kind, and the thrill
ing adventures Of the principal charac.
tiers keep the readers close attention
from beginning to end. The story is
laid about the army camps in England
and it smacks of army life, thus giving
the writer every opportunity to play
upon the interest of the lovers of good
adventure and those who admire ro-
mantle for the mere romance can find
good reading here.
The book is divided into five parts
and the part of the eagle is taken by a
young soldier in whom great trust is
given, and this character is finely
drawn throughout the book.

BIG INSURANCE.
POLICIES HELD

New York, Abril 2l- Millions of
dollars will have to be paid out by in
surance companies, large and small, as
the result of the sinking of the Titanic
IT was predicted in insurance circles to-
night. Practically all the wealthy
men reported drowned are believed to
carry life insurance policies, few of
which are less than $4,000. The exact
face values of policies on the life of
John Jacob Astor are not known, but
The Eqtuable Life Insurance Soci-
ETY. issued statement which pointed
out, considering the meagerness Of the
wireless reports, it stands to loss at
least $4,000 in life policies. That a.
mount is believed to be far below what
the company really will have to pay
out when the correct lists are received.
John f. Dryden, President of the
Prudential Insurance Company Of
Newark, said his company will pay out
at least sos 900. He said that the figures
were arrived at after the consideration
of the meager and possibly incorrect
reports by wireless.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company issues policies on thousands
of working persons and also may have
had hundreds of policies among the
passengers. Charles A. Peabody, Pres
ident, said he had no idea whet it will
have to pay.
