ancient and noble tribe that dwelt in
Catalina island long before the white
men came, a tribe that vanished,
leaving no trace.
The scientist decided that some
trace Of them MUST exist. So he
went to the island and started dig

Black, hard sand showed signs of
burning. Delving into it, he found it
was the site of an ancient sacred fire,
kept alive day and night, year after
year, perhaps, by race that wor-

burn its honored dead.
His pick struck a human skull,

on it. He dug around and under and

We were eight feet tall and very

Diary o. FATHER lime

Eighty-four years ago a British
naval officer vas, by special permits
sion of the aimiralty, allowed to fit
his ship with paddles which were
worked by winches on the main deck.
No doubt he though himself a par
ticularly ingenious person, being un-
aware that the Chinese used this de-
vice to propel certain of their boats
thousands of years before, the only
difference being that instead of men
to turn the windlass, they used oxen.
Thousand Of years passed with
practically little achieved toward in
creasing the pace Of ocean-going
vessels from the time that the pre-
historic man in a fit of laziness hit
upon the idea of using sail to aid
him in propelling his dug-out up to
the time Of the steamboat. AS though
to make up for this delay, the voyage
across the Atlantic from England to
America takes fifteen days less to-
day than it did eighty years ago.

Remembers Old Club

Inc Zenith club was pleasantly
remembered by a former mem
Der, Mrs. Hammond Bailey, for
merly of this city but now resid-
ing at Elllland, Pa, who sent the
following poem to be read by
some member of the club. The
club is reading Hamlet, hence
the subject of the verses.
THE TIME is OUT OF JOINT
The noble Dane, of mos, pathetic fame.
Cursed by the vices OF an evil time,
BY sin and shame,
And tarnished name,
Driven TO an anguish cruelty sublime,
In agony of soul. could but exclaim:
The time is out of joint; oh, cursed spite,
That ever was born to set it rightw
Crime that no circumstance could palIiste.
Ambition unrsstrsined ana wholly base;
ruined state.
Envy and hate.
The lowest vices in the his hest place
The fodt decay Of a most noble race
Crushed tho proud spirit, by their gathered
might,
Until his Soul cried out-"Oh cursed spIte!"
Brave, noble Hamlet, bent On reformation
OF Oil the evils that befell the nation
tBut vengeance first
Deepest aud worst)- y
Struggled beneath the cruel spite accursed,
Gave up his mind his life; swept from the
stage
Both bad and good of that "disjointed" age,
And SET things right,-but by extermtnation
over the pathway OF the common life
OFT falls the shadow of an evil day:
The hours ire rife
With sin and strife
Evil seems rampant and good fees away:
And in the frenzy CT our souls we say:
''Thetime is out of joint; oh cursed spite
That some one was not born TO set it right
Th.se weak, disjoiuted times whose loose
strung homes
Crate on each other with the harshest tones;
When evil rules.
And men are fools
Beyond the uplift of the noblest schools;
Oh '%is.ed joints. How bitterly and long
We lit our voices 10 one mournful song:
''rhe times are out of joint all things are
wrong"
And after all the question still remains.
Are we accursed. if we must right he wrong:
if, brave and long
Valiant and strong.
VI e give our lives, our efforts and our brains
10 eadjust the joints of human life,
10 cure the sin, the envy and the strife,
Shall we, like Hamlet, perish for our pains?
| Friends, this is matter for most care1u,tho,a
| Be snre you each decide it as you ought;
! The time, It's sure,
| Is none 100 pure,
! Tue time is out of ioint:- or at the least,
1T creaks in working. and Should be wei
grelscd
! But If you do attempt to iubricate
| BE watchful,l lest you meet with Hamlet's s fate
1t may be. too. that this most cursed spite
May not,be yours,-tha you must set things
| right;
| Don't go insane;
A muddled brain
| win help but little in the grand reform:
Aud likely steer you straight into a storm
| Leave the disjointed times: and keep your
head;
IA living coward IS better than hero dead.

Missionary Society

The Ladies Missionary Soci-
ETY. of the Presbyterian church
held their annual meeting at the
church Saturday, January 18.
Invitations had been pre- viously
sent out to the ladies OF the con-
gregation, to each of which was
attached asmall sack, some red
and some yellow. in which the
offering was to be placed. Upon
arrival at the church the guests
were met at the door by Misses
Dorothy Brown and Gertrude
Mccormack representing China,
and Elizabeth Morris and Ella
Keopke representing the United
States. These young ladies
were dressed in the colors ap-
propriate, and acted as ushers.
The church was divided through
the center, and one half artisti-
cally decorated with flags and
emblems appropriate to China,
the other to the U. S. The
guests carrying yellow sacks
were seated in China, those
carrying red in the United
States and lively contest en-
sued as to which side would be
declared victor. both as to MEM
bers present and the amount of
the offering A program was
given consisting of Scripture
reading by the president. Mrs.
j. w. Christianson, followed by
music by the Misses Gladys
Lewis aud Ethel Ernst, a prayer
by Mrs. Shearer of the Method
ist society, song by all. a solo
by Mrs. P. H. Brown, and dia-
logue "How not to do it" by ten
young ladies. This latter was
a travesty on a ladies' missionary
society supposed to be studying
1China, but in fact doing almost
everything else.
The contest resulted in an even
division as to numbers, and
China's offering exceeding that
of the, United States by eight
cents. (Although they do say
that after the close some of
Uncle Sans delinquent money
did appear.) The total offering
was about twenty dollars. AZ
ter the close of the program all
repaired to the parlors below
where lomon ice and cake were
served. All present enjoyed a
pleasant and profitable after
noon.
