TEXT TAKEN TOO LITERALLY
Ten-Year-Old Julia Gets Into Bad
Graces Of Mother by Giving
Tramp a Half-DolIar.

"2e not forgetful to entertain
strangers; for thereby some have en-
tertained angels unawares."
The foregoing quotation is from
chapter Is, verse 2, Book of Hebrews.
and it is introduced solely because 1t
constitutes vital part OF this story.
Julia is ten years old and she goes to
Sunday school. 1t appears that on
recent occasion the Sunday school
teacher had considerable to say about
this matter of entertaining angels
unawares." Anyway, it made a deep
impression with Julia.
A few days after the lesson Julia's
mother left her in charge of the house
for few hours. When the mother re-
turned she went to a particular cup
In the cupboard to extract therefrom
one-half dollar. In this cup Is kept
the family pin money, and Julia's
mother knew that she had put fifty
cents there before she had gone out.
But the half dollar was gone. There
was an expression of anxiety on
Julia's face and mother scented mis-
chief.
did you take that money!" asked
the mother, somewhat severely.
Julia broke into tears. II gave it to
q man that came to the back door, "
sobbed the little girl.
Gave it to a mani" exclaimed the
mother What for?"
II thought he might he God" tear
fully replied Julia.-Kansas City Star.

FOREIGN BELIEFS ARE QUEER
Spanish Wedding 10 Ruined If One
Person Appears Entirely in Black
Some Other Signs.

In Spain the wedding Is spoiled II
one of the guests appears entirely In
black, or II the bride looks into q
mirror after orange blossoms and veil
are fastened in her headdress.
When a persons hair ends split, it's
taken by the superstitious for a sign
that she is either q witch or has been
bewitched. AS blond hair splits more
readily than dark hair, all witches,
spirits and sorceresses have blond or
red hair, according to popular belief.
Likewise, according to the standard OF
art.
On the marriage eve there is often
much good-natured rivalry between
the groom and the bride in the Slav
countries as to who shall blow out
the candle, for the person who does
will be first to die" It is impossible
to trace the origin Of this superstition,
yet it prevails in aristocratic society
as we'll as in the peasants hut, even
as like this, that Ito insure the life
and health of the children" the wom-
an must occupy the right side of the
bed. In addition, she must not smoke
before her forty-fifth year.
There is a superstition in this coun-
try and many others against burning
broom. The bud of birch broom is
used in southern Germany as a pre-
ventive against erysipelas. These
buds, piece of yellow wax and some
other articles are inclosed in pink
silk bag. secured with red silk and
worn on the back of the neck. The
person must change his shirt every
Friday.

BURNED AND ITCHED BADLY

539 Lincoln Park Blvd, Chicago, Ill.
"A year ago I received a very severe
burn on my left arm. I caught cold in
It and it was all sore and liberated.

terribly from burning pain; could not

itched so badly. l applied -- Salve,

first, and my arm healed nicely. I was

| friend, the State Boss, good for it?
Why, the thief has million dollars
in one building on Twenty-third street,
In their consuming interest in the
matter my presence was apparently
overlooked, and I stepped softly
through the door. These men did not
realize its full significance; to them
it was merely vengeance visited by a
dead man on his enemy, payment
to a rogue in his own pocket-pieces;
but to one who knew all the facts,
Randolph Mason's plan had worked a
larger justice. Mason had seen in
stantly that, If this mortgage could
be lifted, Mrs. Curtis could sell the
house, the purchasers title would be
clear, and she could take the money
out of the country and conceal it. The
only problem was to get the cancella'
ton of the mortgage on the records.
This check on the trust funds did that
and yet left the taker Of it liable to
the assurance company, which owned
the funds. Suppose it were technical
ly a crime in Richard r. Curtis thus
temporarily to appropriate the moneys
held in trust. He was dead and no in
jury would come to any one innocent
Of wrong. A dependent woman had
her property returned to her; skull
king rogue had his own knife in his
ribs, and the Assurance Company Of
North America would receive it's
money with usury. saw now why
the dying man looked upon Randolph
Mason as providence Of God.

A part Of the wall which once en-.
closed old St. Pauls, London, has been
discovered in excavations at the cor
ner OF Paternoster Row and St. Paups
alley III London. The wall, which is
about 81 feet long, is made of chalk
and rubble, and was built in the
twelfth century. On the same site
pieces of Roman amphora, Roman
vases and some Samian ware have
also been found. Other finds" include
a camels skull unearthed in High Hol
born and large quantity of pipes OF
the eighteenth century. Under some

three Norman arches have been found
They are close to one another, and

was to hand over the company's money
to this politician"
EYES," said the lawyer, "but thia
payment has a quite suh string
to it. It is explained fully in his let
ter. Mr.. Curtis advises us that, In or
der to wipe out personal debt, a 6ebt
legally but not morally just, he has
given the man a check CT the funds
Of the company. He begs us to OBJ
serve that this check directs payment
to be made by the bank out of the
funds of the Life Assurance Company
of North America, and that it is signed
by him as the trustee Of such funds
He begs US further to observe that THU
payment is, consequently, plainly on

trust funds. Therefore, this politician
takes no title to the money which he
will receive by it, and must pay 1t
back to the company"
Il do not quite understand" said
| one of the directors.
1T is all entirely clear replied the
lawyer. This check is made payable
on a trust fund. 1t shows on its face
that it is drawn on moneys belonging
to the Assurance Company and not in
dividually to Richard R. Curtis. This
notice is set out fully in the body OF
the check. The signature with the
word, trustee, attached, confirms the
trust nature of the fund upon which
1t is drawn. Now, these political leech:
es have grown so accustomed to being
fed on insurance money that they have
come wholly to overlook the law. Nc
doctrine of the law is better settled
than that trust has no power to pay
out trust funds in settlement Of his
private debts, and one who takes trust
funds, with notice of that fact, &C.
quires no title to them and can be
made to restore them. The peculiar
wording of this check gave full notice
that it was drawn on trust funds. The
person who cashed it was thereby
fully aware OF that fact and. conse.

Curtis died of Bright's disease. His
life and business career were elabor-
ately reviewed in the public prints. I
observed the significant item as to
his birth in Sussex, and that his body
would be taken there for burial Evil
IDENTIFY the directions Of Randolph Ma
son were being followed with scrupu-
lous exactness. All this whetted still
keener my curiosity as to the sealed
letter in my possession.
Finally, on the first Wednesday Of
the succeeding month the Board of Di.
rectors of the Life Assurance Company

ter. In attendance upon the meeting
were some Of the great financiers of
New York and, among them, the CON-
pany attorney, Mr.. Eustace Ruling,
whose reputation as counselor is es.
tablished beyond any mans comment.
The chairman Of the board took the
letter. ripped OF the envelope and
read it. Immediately he ordered a

"That will do" he said. take up

He paused a moment; then he
looked thoughtfully at the invalid.
"A suitable reason for this immedi-

on the arm of his chair. And, now.
