OLD ADAM STRONG IN HIM
Sad Time for Mother When She Real.
lied Her Pet Had Passed Beyond
the Angelic Period.

Mothers darling, age four. was not
to be like other boys and learn to use
naughty and slangy words. He was
not allowed to play with the older
boys in the neighborhood for fear his
sensitive nature might be shocked at
the language they used. One day,
while mother was busy. he slipped
over into the next street and played
for half an hour with a crowd of older
boys. In that half hour he took a
complete course in modern language
On his return mother said:

HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA

A dear old lady who was very 'sot"
In her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like a certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant. but she had been
30 emphatic In her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out OF
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though 1t hardly threatened rain.
Quick as flash she answered her
questioner. He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he Is a
'softie'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out OF the window. here comes your
son William, and he Is carrying an um-
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. "But
that's another matter-I don't like him
anyhow-and besides, 1t all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That Is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said a good many unkind things
about 1t and In each instance have had
It proved to them that their tales were
not true
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit Of caf.
feline that 1t contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against It.
Then. like the old lady who was remind.
ed OF son William, they were reminded
that It is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee. (even more
than In Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism of
Coca Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say But that's another
matter"-what they mean Is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik-
ing tea or coffee, 1t all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine Is caffeine. and II 1t is not
harmful In one II can't be harmful In
another. We all know that 1t is not
harmful In tea or coffee-that 1t Is
really helpful in whatever 1t is-this
is bound to include Coca-Cola.
or course, the truth is. that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all. they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all. 1t all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let US be fair.-Adv.

BAR AGAINST LOVE
Protested Note Makes "Blue
Monday" but Eventually There
Was Glad Ending.
By GEORGE ELMER COBB.

1t was BLUE Monday" for Max VIII
Der, with vengeance! 1t was after 9
bright, blissful Sunday, for had he not
seen Leila Marsh and passed with heI
one Of the most delightful evenings
Of his life? Not that affairs were set
tied in that quarter. but he could not
forget the bright eyes and radiant
cheeks that had greeted him, nor the
parting moment under the waving
cherry blossoms, with the white moon
light drifting down upon that rare
head of FURNISHED gold.
Then, too, up to the hour Of the
opening of the bank, Max had felt
something more than cheerful and
happy. He was thirteen hundred dol.
lars to the good, had a permanent po'
sition, enjoyed the confidence Of the
bank officers, and was led to look to q
cashiership in the near future.
And then the reaction: the formal
call to the Office OF the stern and dig
nifled president, who waved him to
seat and tossed a note across the
glass-topped table with the single
word:
Protested"
Max turned little pale as he
scanned the bit of paper. 1t was note
ninety days old, signed by Simon
Marsh and indorsed by himself.

the notation of fifteen dollars interest

perturbed, but looked up steadily with
the question:
TT could not be renewed?"
Scarcely" sententiously remarked
the president, his declaration fixed and
somber as the utterance of fate.
Il will pay 1t. then" said Max, who
quietly drew out his check book, cal
culated the gross and passed over
the earnings and savings Of two years.
All this was done quietly and strict
ly according to bank ethics, but even

Plant That Catches Its Food.

The common bladderwort. an
aquatic plant not only defends itself
against insects and animals. but
catches worms and fish for its food.
AS 1t floats underneath the surface Of
the water its leafy branches spread
out in all directions. Its leaves are
covered with little oval bisdders filled
with air. and at one end OF each blad-
der is cavity which leads into the
mouth below. Inside the bladder is
a small trap door which opens when
pressure is put on 1t. A small worm
or small fish can enter this door.
but they can never come out.

old grub basis. It's slow, but sure.
Just hold that note. I'm going to make
good"
Max shook his head dubiously aR he
left the old man. He was gloomy all
day. In fact, his spirits became SO de-
pressed towards evening that he felt
he must get sympathy, at least distrac-
tion of mind somewhere. SO he went
to see Leila.
She was formal, chilling. He spent
an awkward hour trying to keep up q
casual conversation. Then he grew
fairly desperate. He had lost his
money-it looked as If he had lost his
love, as well.
There is something I must say"
he spoke in strained. tremulous tone
Is on my heart and will not allow me
to rest. Miss Marsh, Leila, love"
The solemn dignity of her uplifted
hand checked him.
"Not-now," she said simply. There
Is debt to pay, Mr.. Wilber. Good
evening"
And about week later Max knew
that Leila had done two things
opened savings bank account and in
sured her life. He might admire her
high consistency to principle, but this
set barrier against love made him
wretched
They met at church, at some local
social events after that, but always a
distance between them. It nearly
broke the heart of Max to see a
marked economy in dress on the part
OF Leila. She was an orphan and
worked as stenographer for the city
courts. Her pay was not large.
Saving, skimping, suffering to pay
meme, who would give her my life!"
reflected Max, distractedly.
There came into the bank one day
bronzed. bearded man, with a ragged
canvas satchel bearing traces of long
and difficult travel. He placed 1t
across the counter, opened 1t and took
out small wooden box.
From the mint" he said in a curl

The clerks watched him with some
interest. They had never before seen

The stranger placed ten Of them to
one side with a single question:
Where Is Mr.. Max Wilber?"
And this Is what Max saw when he
came out from the directors room.

extending hand hard as piece of
gristle. Just pan of water and
dip into the old chute tailings. It's
sure ten dollars day and I'm going
back to the Hills to repeat the opera
tion as soon as see my niece"
Max WILDER saw his uncouth visitor
as far as the door. He whispered into
his ear:
Speak one word for me-"
And this was the line he received
from the grim old prospector a few
hours later:
Debt cancelled. Claim your own.
Leila sees the light Bless you BOTH"
"Only little sorrowing, little pa
tience." spoke Max that evening, Leila
by his side, once again amid the lure
Of the white moonlight, "and this glad
ending"
But how much love, too. through all
the cruel ordeal" whispered his prom
ised bride, tenderly.

In the early days of Arizona, an

An aged negro had been ruthlessly

murder was a very small negro boy.
