The Money Wasn't On.

There was an aged Scotsman who,
by native shrewdness, made a for
tune, and he did 1t without the slight
est bit of education. One day he and
an acquaintance were talking, when
the latter said to old Duncan:
Il tell you you don't know enough
to go in when 1t rains. Why, you
can't spell bird"
"B-u-r-d," said Duncan.
Il tell you you don't know any
thing. Why, if you had to spell TO
make a living you'd have been dead
years ago. III bet you a hundred you
can't spell bird"
I'm TAX ye,' quickly replied Dun
can.
After the money was put up Dun
can said: "B-t-r-d"
THAT amt the way you spelled It
the first time"
II wisna bettin' them"

TIME marvellous charm Of the
Antarctic is finding it's way TO
every mind through the many
books that have recently been poured
forth by, or in the name of, such men
as Captain Scott, Captain Amundsen,
Ernest Shackleton and Jean Charcot.
The stories that they tell and the
pictures that they show open up viz
tually a new world for human con-
temptation,
The surroundings of the South
Pole are far more interesting than
those of the North Pole. There seems
always tc have been a dim fore
glimpse of this fact which has col
ored mems imaginings about the re-
mote regions of the South. The feel
ing that some great and romantic
mystery existed there can be discern
ed in early works of fiction, in which
the Antarctic Continent played part,
as for instance, in Poe's remarkable
story of Arthur Gordon Pym."
But the actual facts, as they have
come to light within a few years past,
exceed all that imaginative writer's
could invent. The Antarctic CONT
nent is now known to be a far great 81
er mass of land than anyone could
have anticipated In mean elevation
it is the loftiest land on the whole
globe, and wherever its vast mantle
of ice allows a glimpse to be obtained
of what lies beneath, indications are
found that 1t has passed through a
history animated by the presence of
wonderful living forms. Its immense
coal beds alone suffice to prove that
once it enjoyed temperate, if not
a tropical, climate. The great for
ests which produced the material for
these beds certainly did not flourish
amid eternal ice!
Very Fascinating.
But even in its present state it is
fascinating to the eye and to the
mind. Nowhere else in the world is
there anything comparable with that
enormous barrier Of ice cliffs, running
for thousands of miles around the
hidden continent and rising straight
out of the ocean like a glittering
wall, hundreds of feet in height and
so vertical that in many places a
ship may lie directly alongside, and
where there is a depression of the
wall a landing may be made from
the deck, as at a natural wharf
The fleets of icebergs that break
off this barrier are unmatched in size
number and strangeness of form
Look, for instance, at the picture
that DR.. Charcot took of a gigantic
floating ice arch.
Often as the barrier is approached
a dark shadow is seen in the side
of the wall When this is near IT re-
solves itself into a stupendous cav
ern in the ice face, filled with green
and purple reflections anu shadows
and so large that ship might pass
within. Mr. Shackleton describes one
Of these ice caverns which cut the
waterline, and was so spacious that
his steamer. the Nimrod, might have
| been steered directly into it without
touching its roof or its sides with
masts or yards.
The meteorological peCuliarities 81
the region are unique. The explorers
are unanimous in declaring that the
air is so pure and invigorating that

Some Species of Antarctic Birds.

again and enjoy 1t. It seems to pos
sess some inexplicable quality, like
that Of the water of certain wells and
springs, which draws those who have
once tasted il back again with an IT.
resistible longing.
Even the snow1akes and ice crys-
tails of the Antarctic appear to be
unique. In calm weather they some
times fall suddenly out Of an appar-
emily clear, serene sky, and, settling
on the white surface beneath, look
like countless thousands of crystal
coins, as large as shillings, rejecting
all the colors of the spectrum. They
lie tipped at every possible angle,
catching every sunbeam and splitting
up its prismatic hues.
"As one plods along toward the
midnight sum-" says Shackleton,
"one's eyes naturally fall on the plain
ahead, and one realizes that the sim
lie Of a gem strewn carpet could
never be more aptly employed than
in describing the radiant path of the
sun on the snowy surface"
Strange Birds.
The life of the Antarctic is also
more abundant and varied than that
of the North Polar regions. The sea
is full of inhabitants. and strange bird
forms appear on the snow and ice
covered land. Among these the first
rank must be given to the penguins,
which, at a distance, startlingly re-
semble human figures. They also
mimic men in many Of their motions,
and a procession Of them, in their
white vests and trousers and black
coats, resembles the stately march of
a company of grave burghers in holt
day dress.
Every explorer who has seen the
twin volcanoes of Erebus and Terror
is impressed by their majestic and
wonderful appearance, towering up
out of the ice world around them,
while puffs of black smoke and pill
lars of white steam seem to proclaim
that the ancient continent beneath is
yet alive, and full OF its primeval en-
ergies.

Meant Well.

English cyclists travelling alone on
the Continent have many queer ex-
periences. A young man who was
bicycling in Southern France was
pushing his machine up a steep hill
when he overlook a peasant with a
donkey cart who was making but lit
tie progress, though the donkey was
doing his best
The benevolent cyclist, putting his
left hand against the back of the cart
and guiding his machine with the
other, pushed so hard that the DON
key, taking fresh courage, pulled his
load up to the top successfully.
The summit reached, the peasant
burst into thanks to his benefactor.
1T was very good Of you, Indeed
monsieur" he protested. Il should
never in the world have got up the
hill with only one donkey"

For one fieeting moment a doubt OF
Maggie flashed through her mind. She
might have found it and not told her.
But quickly she put this thought aside
as unjust. For whatever Maggie
faults, she was scrupulously honest
You'd better lie down, ma'am," ad-
vised Maggie at length, "or you'll be
sick. If it's here, Wen come across It.
But you won't find # the way you're
looking now" for Helen was feverishly
going back again over the same ground.
BY the time Warren came Helen was
almost hysterical. She felt she could not
kept It TO herself any longer If only
she had told him the truth yesterday
instead of saying she had left the ring
at the jewelers..
Now he would be furious at her de-
ception! Mono, she COULD not con-
TESS that-and the loss of the ring, too!
There was still the chance that she
might find 1t tomorrow.
But the strain Of the sleepless night
and the fruitless days search had been
too great and at dinner Helen broke
down completely. Without any warning,
she suddenly hid her face in her nap
kin and burst into tears.
Warren laid down his knife and fork
and stared at her
well, by guns! What's come over
you?"
My engagement ring" she sobbed.
u didn't take It to Blackford's! It's
it's LOST"
The silence of the next few moments
was broken only by Helen's sobs. She
dared not look up.
80 that's It," he finally rasped.
That's what's been the matter And
why, may I ask, did you lie to me
about it,
Helen cringed at the cold sarcasm in
his voice.
"Oh, IL thought I'd find it," she
| sobbed. And I didn't want to worry
you"
Huh" with a sneer. you lied be-
cause you're always lying. You don't
know how to tell the truth"
"Oh, but the ring, Warren, my en-
gagement ring! Can't you see how
MUCH it means? didn't want TO ad-
nit even to myself that it was lost. Oh,
l feel that it's a bad omen! That it's

Il mean all that and a whole lot more
Your lost ring may be a devilish good
omen at that! Therere a lot Of things
I'd count as better luck than having tc

Hurting down his napkin Warren
stalked out, while Helen with her head
on the table sobbed convulsively.

| ing him made her sick with dread.
In spite of Helen's effort TO appear as
usual, Warren saw at once that some
thing was wrong.
What's the matter with you?" he de-
manded at dinner. What makes you
so glum?"
why nothing, dear I'm little tired,
that's ALL"
To Helen the evening seemed endless.
Warren read and she tried to sew, but
not for one instant was the ring out Of
her mind And she was in constant
dread lest Warren should see her bare
finger and speak of it,
That night she could not sleep. She
tossed and turned and anguished over
the ring. In the morning she had one Of
her sick headaches, which nervous wor-
ry and lack Of sleep always brought on
More Lies.
You're not at a funeral, you know"
was Warren's caustic comment, as he
buttered his third piece Of toast
"Oh, / know" with a forced laugh;
cts this weather, suppose. I'll be all
right by vening"
AS Helen poured his second cup Of
What's the natter" sharply Where's
your ring?"
"Oh. the stone was a little Ioose-one
Of the prongs was worn, and l left it to
have 1t reset"
Always some plausible untruth seem
ed to leap to Helen's lips at such times
She was never deliberately deceiving
The words seemed always to come Of
themselves.
why didn't you give it TO me? Where
did you take It to? Some snide con-
cern7 They'll change that stone on you
If you're not careful"
"Oh. no. dear, took it to Black
fords l didn't want to bother you
with It,"
With unspeakable relief Helen saw
Warren off that morning. AT least he
had not doubted her story Of the night
before.
Maggie swept carefully every room
and Helen went through every drawer
and closet Boxes, clothes hampers,
shoe bags, every possible nook into
which the ring might have slipped from
her finger was searched.
She was to have gone shopping with
Mrs. Stevens that afternoon. but she
phoned her that she could not go. BY
noon she was almost sick, and yet she
kept on looking. Over and over again
she would search in the same places in
a futile, helpless way.

ent route than that by which they had
come.
The young men induced not only
the members of their families but a
number of others to come here to set
tie.
The settlement was not confined to
the present location of this city al
though a number, built their cabins
along the east side of the river bank
south of the later location Of the
National road.
Hoover is given the credit of having
been the first to explore the land
where this city was started and the
country a few miles north. He also
was influential in bringing here the
settlement of thrifty Quakers who la
ter formed the residents of Smithvilfe,
as Richmond was first called. The city
was laid out here ten years after Hoo
yer took his first trip, by John Smith
from whom it gained its name.

The promised Land" was the name
which was given to the land on which
the city of Richmond now stands
when David Hoover and four others
came here in the spring of 1906 and
discovered the entire Whitewater val
ley rich with vegetation and with
many natural advantages such as
springs, sites for the locations OF
mills and stone quarries. The land was
uninhabited except by few stray In
dams.
The first settlement in Wayne coun
ty was several miles south of Rich
mond. In 1906 Richard Rue, George
Holman and Thomas Mccoy brought
their families here from Kentucky and
built log cabins. A number of others
soon joined them, among whom was
Hugh Gull, the first minister in the
county. He was Methodist but
preached for all denominations until
other ministers settled in the coun
ty. He Is said to have lived to the age
of 105 years.. dying in 1862.
Hoover and his companions came
from Dayton, having travelled there
from Cincinnati along the Miami riv.
er. They came directly east through
the settlement known as Gettysburg
in Preble county, Ohio. The men soon
came to the east branch of the east
fork of the Whitewater and followed
it to where three branches unite to
form the east fork of the Whitewater
They camped on the lowland which is
now known as Happy Hollow" for
the first night and because Of the I'm,
compromising view presented by the
high cliffs down the river, they start
ed to follow one of the branches
north.
Find Land Here
When they came to falls a mile
north, or what is believed to have
been Thistlethwaites falls, they
found half dozen Indians encamp-
ed. The Indians were the stragglers
Of a departed tribe and could express
themselves with a limited vocabulary
of English.
The Indians told them of the three
families living a few miles south and
offered to take them there and show
them the surrounding country for a
few trinkets which Hoover had.
Hoover and his party were taken
along the Indian path to the level rise
of ground which spread away from
either side of the all cliffs on the
sides of the Whitewater. Without the
aid of the Indians, it would have been
impossible for the party to travel
more than a few miles a day except in
the valley Of the river
The Indians took them east to one
of the famous Indian gathering
grounds located at a spot which is be-
lieved by many of the older residents
to be Glen Miller park. On a long
hill side which had been cleared, the
Indians are said to have camped in
large numbers at the foot of the hill
where a number Of springs are.
Hoover Brings Others.
After finding the three families
south of the present location of Rich
mond, Hoover and his companions re-
turned to Cincinnati, taking a differ.
