A new building Of the Lutheran
church school at York. Neb., has
been built at a cost of $4,000 with
the proceeds from the sale of eggs
laid on Sunday by hens belonging
to members Of the congregation.
Last year the members decided to
add u new building to their school,
and the women of the diocese agreed
to contribute to the fund all the
money they received from the sale
of eggs laid on Sunday. The hens
evidently knew that they were
working for a good cause for every
dollar of the price of the building
was paid before the structure was
dedicated.

CONTRASTS

An exchange says: Our attention
has heen called to the fact that we
never saw a bald headed woman.
Well, what Of that? There are a
good many things we never saw
We never saw a woman sit on a
dry goods box and surround herself
with filthy pools OF extract of to.
bacco sprayed through her teeth.
We never saw one 60 fishing with a
bottle of bait in her hip pocket,
sit on the dpmp ground and go
home drunk at night. We never
saw a woman yank off her coat,
give her pants a hitch, spit on her
hands and swear she could whip
the biggest map in town. Come to
think Of it, there are a good many
things We never saw q woman do,
and don't want to either.

The Rosenberg Mercantile Company
Test.

Jersey City, May 16th.-Ihe most re-
markabie nonstop run Of an automobile
engine ever held in this country is still in
progress at the garage Of the Crescent
Automobile Company, on Hudson Boule-
ward, this city. On April 9Th last, a Cadil-
lac 1914 stock model engine was started
running in q small booth set up In full
view of the hundreds of motorists who
daily pass along the Boulevard, which
forms the eastern end of the Lincoln
Highway. ,..
The engine has now been in continuous
operation for more than five weeks, has
covered over 1000 road miles, or more
than six trips across the continent, via the
Lincoln Highway, and is still turning up
O. daily average Of 535 miles, or a little
over % miles per hour. No signs OF over
heating have yet appeared and only a pint
and a half Of water has been fed into the
radiator since the test started. Cylinders
and bearings are fabricated with Polarine,
the oil being fed at the rate Of 26 drops
per minute.
The fuel used is the Standard Oil Com
pany's Motor Gasoline, and the engine aV-
erages A miles on a gallon Of gas. 1t is
run at from 600 to 700 revolutions per
minuteI
All previous nonstop records are now
far ou%t-distanced, the best previous run
being that of the Packard, which ran for
is days in an official test under the au-
spices of the Automobile Club Of America.

Perhaps the Only Survivor.

Celebration Of the seventy-ifth anniver-
sary Of Erskine College, calls to MIND
Erskine's first commencement. Mr.. H. L.
Tusten Of this city is perhaps the only
survivor Of that commencement, and his
recollection of the event is still very vivid.
Mr.. Tusten says that there were only
two in the graduating class: Robert Fair
and David Haddon, and that Robert Fair
was not given a diploma for the reason
that he had not taken Greek in his course.
Mr.. Fair made this statement in person to
the audience.
Mr.. Tusten has always felt a deep inter-
est in Erskine College, and for many
years, as long as his physical condition
would permit, attended the commence
ments, when they were the leading an
nual event in the county.
