studio, number of times, but whose
name he does not know, but with whom
he has fallen in love- Kent shows the

in the death of the woman found on the

No one knows who modelled the
group; but, out of the mists that
clouded human activity before his
tory began has come the story it per-
petuates. 1t belongs to the time
when the Greek gods ruled the world
in joyous nakedness, with occasional
diversions in the form of bloody ven
geance.
LAGOON played a part in about the
best known incident in the Homeric
epic, the drawing into Troy of the
wooden horse. LAGOON was priest
of Apollo and an important man in
Troy; but he didn't have influence
enough to prevent his fellow citizens
from bringing in that wooden horse.

During their slow progress to the
door he kept up a running comment,
which Sedgwick supported with equal
GOODNESS. The crowd, darkling and
undecided, pressed around them. AS
they went through the doorway they
were jostled by a sudden pressure,
following which Kent felt touch on
his shoulder. He turned to face the
sheriff.

years.
The legends all seem to agree that
LAGOON turned from Apollo to Nep-
tune, even going so far as to offer a
bullock in sacrifice to the sea god.
When he was preparing the sacri-
flee two fearful serpents were seen
swimming toward the Trojan coast
from Tenedos. The monstrous rep
tiles rushed straight toward LAGOON
and his two sons. The people took
fight in terror; but the priest and the
youths remained standing by the
altar of their god.
The serpents first coiled round the
two boys and then round their father.
In thu statue you will see the Young

of the serpent Is already fastened in
his side. The older son shows In his
face the emotions that rend his soul.

the awful fate of his father. The
mighty old man is struggling with all
his magnificent strength, spiendldly,
hopelessly.
Most of us associate Apollo With an
ideal of manly beauty, with art. with
music He is known as the patron OF
art of healing. He was the father OF
Aesculapius, who was the father OF
medicine Indeed, about seven 'lifter-
ent activities were attributed TO this
son of Jupiter, but first Of all he was
known as the god who Furnishes. That
is what his name really means.
LAGOON was undoubtedly priest
of Apollo, and 1t was the act ef
traitor for him to turn to Nentune.
One tale declares that LAGOON had
defied the expressed will of Apollo
by marrying and begetting children
Other delivers into mythology rlaln-
tain that LAGOON and his two sons
were not victims of Apollo but of Ncp-
tune. They hold that Neptune, be

wanted to show them, in the persons
of LAGOON and his sons, the fate that
all of them deserved. The fact hat
the serpents were under the control
of Neptune and not of Apollo is cit I'd

Why We Give Thanks.

our days with blessings. There Is new
er a moment when we have not some.
thing new for whSch to praise him,
There is blessing in everything he
does for us and sends to us. We should
be most ungrateful If we did not give
thanks unto God. Prayer should not
be all clanor for new favors. it should
be full of recognition of mercies and
good things. 1t is good also, to give
thanks, because it makes our own lives
sweeter, truer and more beautiful. Joy
Is beauty. Praise is comedy. One who
does not give thanks lacks the high
est element of loveliness. Ingratitude
is dark aAd somber; praise Is light and
beautiful. Giving thanks also makes
us greater blessings to others. Prais'
ing people scatter inspiration
wherever they go. They make Others
happier, braver, stronger. Our days
should be full of praise and song. Then
God will be pleased with our lives and
this world will be made sweeter and
better.-J. r. Miller. d. d.

Always Cause for Gratitude.

If you seek, you will find cause for
gratitude. If you find your heart cal
lous, stony and rebellious, beware! 1t
is pitiable stage at which to arrive.
1t practically marks the end of your
journey along the road to tomorrow.
Remember that to give thanks is a
good thing. Never fail to appreciate
the natural beauties and joys around
you, and from the grateful attitude of
mind and soul you will receive reflect
ed benefits. Open your heart to the
good that lies around you; make it
your own, as 1t has been intended that
you should. And be thankful.

CRITIC OF THE GERM THEORY
Writer in Indiana Newspaper Has
Some Pertinent Remarks to
Make on the Subject.

No inconsiderable body of physi-
many even Of the regular profession"
are beginning seriously to question
whether germs" are the greatest, or.
as some hold, the only cause of dis
ease. The United States department
of agriculture has issued a bulletin
teurizing milk so as to kill the dis
ease germs and yet not give the milk
a cooked flavor or lessen it's nutritive
value" Where are Sukey and dear
old Bossy of yesterday? Gone, with

est suspicion that their lacteal pros
uct was not above reproach. Then
science comes into cast doubt upon
all their daughters. "A healthy child"

teurized milk and guarded by 'steriliz-
alton may grow up weakling Why?
Give it up! Perhaps there are funda-
mental causes not recognized by the
theorists. If milk will cause disease,
will heating make it wholesome? If
milk is pure, will not heating cause it
to lose it's best nutritive qualities? II
the germs come from the COW, why
without, why not keep them out In
stead of killing them after they get
in the milk?"-Indianapo News.

ALL LOOK FOR GRATITUDE
Nothing That Can BE Bestowed is
Able to Take lts Place In the
Human Heart.

Gratitude given or received is one
Of the best things in the world. We
need far more of 1t and far better quail
ity. Yet have never read and satis-
factory account of what 1t so glorious
ly means. It's value begins just where
the value Of pay ends. Thanks are
personal, and attempt to fit an ade-
quate response to the particular serv-
ice performed. Pay is an impersonaI
coin which has been handed out to
many before 1t reaches you, and will
go to many others when it leaves you.
1t Is your right and you are not CRATE
full for 1t. But thanks are free gift
and enrich the giver. There Is no
nobler art than the art of expressing
ones gratitude in fresh, unhackneyed,
unexaggerated terms which answer
devotion with fresh devotion, fancy
with new fancy, charity with SINGER
ity. Artists who get their reward
only in money and in the stale plaud-
its of clapping hands are restless for
something more individual. They
want to be intimately understood and
beautifully answered. For such graft
tude they look to brother artists, to
the few who really understand. There
they find their best reward-but even
this leaves something wanting.-The
Atlantic.
