professional men are hardest to save.
The professional man is too inter-
ested in his business to go to church,
and too fun of intellectual objections

soul is hardest to save. 1t doesn't do
any good to argue questions of dogma
with him. You must get him inside the
mission and show him results"
Trotter declared that the drug fend
ranked next to the professional man
because of his untrustworthiness. The

Ella showed at least that she knew how
to jump her job without injuring the
baby, for she wheeled the go cart to
the police station and left the child
there. And that started a police mys-
terry which had the whole department
going round in circles for an hour or
two. Then it blew up.
Ella, who must have had an invita-
tion to a turkey trot or a barbecue,
told the police sergeant at the station
that strange woman had asked her to
wheel the child to a certain city adj
dress and when she went to look for
that number it wasn't there. The of
ficers at once began a search for the
heartless mother While Ella, with the
thanks Of the department ringing in
her ears, did a disappearance stunt.

NATIONAL ANTHEMS

The story of how Lord Kitchener improvised an Afghan national an- them out of one of Handel's solemn marches might be supplemented by a legend about the Japanese national anthem. When the late Sir Arthur Sullivan was writing the "Mikado' he asked a friend with personal Knowledge of Japan for few Jap anese melodies, and among those submitted was one which Sir Arthur was assured was the Japanese na- tional anthem. This seemed the very thing to accompany the entrance of the MikadO in the second act of the opera, and accordingly the composer worked in the supposed imperial mel Ody at that point. Its barbarlc strains still perform the same duty, but it has long since been unmasked as a sort of music hall tune which at one time was as popular in Ja- pans streets as "Ta -ra-ra-b boom de ay" in England-LOndon Chronicle.
