OVERCOMING ENNUI.

The path of Andrew Gaieski of
Gary lead him from home to church
to a saloon to Jail. He told Judge
Barnett of Hammond at his trial
that he had to overcome ennui caused
by the preachers sermon and was
quite stupified when found by the
police.
There is quite moral to Andrews
defense.
Only some of us cannot overcome
use other means.

In the year 1446 an Irish bishop-his
face SCARED with many wounds-climbed
to the keep of his castle. and. hanging
over the side, kissed a stone in the wall
about five feet from the top This was
Cormack MacCarthy. and the castle was
Blarney Castle, his military stronghold.
For in those days a bishop had to be a
good fighter besides being good church
man. The stone that MacCarthy kissed
is now called the 'Blarney Stone
Cormack MacCarthy built Castle Rlar-
ney i'll County Cork. One day, a little
while after he had finished it, he was
walking along when he happened to see
an old woman drowning in a stream. Be-
ing both a courteous and a brave man.
he Immediately plunged In, and after
many struggles rescued her. The old
woman blessed her rescuer and promised
that. for n reward, she would bestow
unon him a tongue OF such eloquence
that he could influence friends and enc
mics.
But there was only one way to obtain
this gift He must climb to the top of
his castle and kiss a stone in the wall
there. MacCarthy followed directions.
and Immediately obtained such eloquence
that he delayed for a long time by per-
suasion and promise the surrender Of
the castle to the Lord President. It is
said that even to this day whoever
climbs to the top of the castle and
kisses the stone will receive the gift OF
golden speech.
Many people now go TO kiss the Blar-
ney Stone. One time 4 young American
visited Castle Blarney, and was very en-
thusiastic about kissing the stone. He
leaned over the square opening: but just
then he got look at the ground. 80
feet below. He suddenly decided that
this business of kissing the Blarncy
Stone was only a silly superstition. and
was not worth the trouble anyway.

The Proper Way 10 Dust.

Everything has to be learned-even
the simple art OF dusting. The proper
way to dust is to have a duster in each
hand. which method is quite necessary
to success. for the duster in the left
hand is needed to prevent fnger-marks
when steadying and lifting highly polish
ed furniture.
Each piece of furniture should be wiped
lightly from the top downward to re-
move the dust. and then, after the dust
er has been shaken out OF the window
never over the Carpet-the wood should
be smartly rubbed to bring up a polish.
Be sure you treat a stuffed cushion with
brush and duster before dealing with
the wood. otherwise the dust from the
upholstered cushion will fly out on to
the wood of the chairs or sofas.
