WHAT HAIR LOST.

Charles James lost something last
night" said the professor to a class
of boys n Monday afternoon.
What was it," asked one.
Something valuable" said the pro-
lessor gravely.
Charlie James was looking up at
the professor with as much curiosity
as the other boys.
Where did he lose it," asked
another.
Cup by the church." answered the
professor.
Charlie moved a little uneasily.
What time was it," asked a boy.
about half past eight" replied the
professor.
Charlie dropped his head.
WAS it a dollar?" asked one boy.
mo" The professor shook his
head. at was worth much more than
a dollar-yes, more than ten or
twenty dollars"
Cant we go hunt it," suggested
one of the class, who was ready to
hunt lost things.
NO." replied the professor; mo-
body can ever find it but Charlie, and
it will take him a long time"
The class sat puzzled for a mo-
ment.
"Do you want to know what it
was?"
All the boys were looking up, eager
to know-all except Charlie; his head
was down.
ct was the good opinion of five
men," The professor spoke seriously.
During church services last night
Charlie was on the outside running
around. He thought it would be fun
to pry a window up a few inches and
let it drop with a bang. He did it,
and of course was seen-somebody
always finds out those things. And
when the service was over, I heard
five or six men-good men, important
incorporating about the boys con-
duct. They were much surprised;
they had thought well of Charlie, and
had believed he was going to grow up
to be a manly, useful young fellow.
But now-well, they shook their
heads. That kind of conduct was a
mighty bad start"
The professor spoke regretfully,
and looked disappointed, too.
1T is strange how some boys do
not understand what is fun and what
is not. 1t is strange that they forget
how valuable a good name is; how
much it is worth to have the good
opinion of a good man; and how fool
ish it is to lose that good opinion by
some silly little trick that is not any
real fun at all. Every right-thinking
person wants boys to have fun. They
all like to see you have a good time.
But whenever a boy or a man tries to
have fun by wronging or disturbing
others, it makes out a bad ase for
him, and he loses part of the good
opinion people have of him."

A JEWISH RABBI ON THE so
CALLED OZARK AGES"

A favorite subject with the average
Protestant minister in his bacca.
laureate address to a graduating
class, is the ignorance and supersti.
ton of the Middle Ages, which he
represents as a period of moral and
intellectual darkness and industrial
oppression. Contrasted with these
views is the scholarly address OF
Rabbi Max Heller of New Orleans, to
the graduating class of Newcomb Col.
lege. Our separated brethren might
read this address and ponder upon it
with much benefit to themselves:
when the Middle Ages were in their
flower of perfection. with trades and
guilds organized, with arts and crafts
at their noblest and best, a uniform
religion held the central seat of en-
pire, and a vast power, spiritual, SO.
cial, educational and benevolent, was
welded everywhere by those abbeys
and monasteries that were shorn OF
their wealth and prerogatives by the
first onslaughts of the Reformation

TRACES OF GOD.

All that's fine and rare
Pure and true and kind,
Gentle hearts that love us,
Skies that smile above us,
In them all we find
Saviour dear and true,
Tender hints of you.
You are strong and fair,
You are kind and holy;
Far beyond their measure,
Yet we find a pleasure
From these traces lowly
Yet so fair-to guess
Your all-loveliness.

DUE TO CONVENE TODAY
Will Meet for First Time at Noon and it is Believed Will Have Little Diff culty Arranging Terms of Peace
ASSOCIATED PRESS DGsPATCEl

LONDON, Dec. 15.-Dr. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian delegation, returned from Paris tonight and the peace con- ference is expected to begin tomor- morrow at noon. Sir Edward Grey, British secretary of foreign affairs will a make brief speech of welcome.
 Nothing transpired today to show whether serious difficulty is likely to arise over the attendance of the Greek delegates. Concerning the Austrian Servian controversy the Balkan en- voys think it will result in calling the Austrian bluff.
 According to the Balkan delegates Austrias increased ornaments and mobilization of her army is due less to the probability of declaring war against Servia, than to the grave in ternational situation and unrest in Hungary and the agitation among the Slavs in Austrian territory.
 The report that Austria has toe many troubles at home to think ser iously of war with any nation. Neither is she financially prepared, as shown by the large loan recently contracted in the United States at a higher than ordinary rate of interest.

Had Visited Phoenix

MT. Reid and family spent two win ters in Phoenix, those of 1895 and 1896 For several years he had been a suffer CT of asthma and he sought relief in the most favored parts of the world, northern Egypt and the Riviera. He said of the climate of the Salt River valley that while it was quite similar to that of the vicinity of Cairo it had been more helpful to him and was al together more pleasant than any he had ever enjoyed.
 He would have liked to establish a permanent winter home in Phoenix but his children at that time were arriving at an age whecn they should be in sho0l. The schools of Phoenix a, that time were not the schools of to- day.
 Both winters MT. Reid occupied the house now owned by s. w. Higley al Sixth and Monroe streets. His resi- dence here gave Phoenix wider ad- vertisement than it had previously re- ceived. Moreover this caused severa commendatory articles to be published by the New York Tribune
