About That Gordon Knot.

The Gordon knot Is said to have
been made of thongs used as harness
to the wagon Of Gordon, husband
man, afterwards King of Phrygia.
Whosoever loosed the knot, the ends

should be ruler of Persia. Alexander
the Great cut away the knot with his
sword until he found the Dds Of 1t.

A newspaper is in no sense a
child Of charity. 1t earns twice
over every dollar it receives and
it is second to no enterprise in
contributing to the unfolding Of a
community. Its patrons reap far
more benefits from its pages than
its publishers and in calling for
the support of the community in
which it is published it as for no
more than in all fairness belongs
to it, though generally it receives
less. Patronize and help your
paper as you would any other en-
terprise because it helps you and
not as an act of charity. -Exchange.

him slip on his knees and feel tor

was made visible by a small dark
lantern and Raoul instinctly stepped
backward as though to escape the
