She does not realize that. with hopes

h rich girl is never entirely sure that
she will be welded for herself alone. She
never fears missing wedlock ultimately.
Some rich girls imagine-erroneously-if a

Is perfectly independent with him. She
knows that she can gain her freedom. that
she will not suffer thereby as far as sup
port and q roof over her head go. The
relatives who have al eye to her money
take every little act OF his as a lover to
help them widen the breach between them

OF the two, the one who has hope has
everything to live for. The woman who IL

not wrong for young girls to have love

Poor girls are not building their hopes
upon finding a rich young man to wed.
All they expect Is a loving and true heart.
With such a man they hope to win happi-

Arctic explorers often report the dis
covery OF flowers blooming In lcebergs.
The explanation Of this is as follows:
1t appears that some animals carry on
their feet a growth Of moss, which Ia
deposited on the ice while IL is attached
TO the mainland In polar regions. In
time this decays and forms q shallow
soil in which the seed Of buttercups
and dandelions often find q lodging,
borne by currents Of wind that doubt
less caught them up in some southern
CLINE. These take root and bloom
when the great cleaning iceberg floats
out to sea and is carried southwark,
where the soft winds melt the surface
and give the plants the moisture they
need. ... .-

debted to German science-rather an
though, in face OF British denunciation,

answers may give a modified salts
faction to the German mind, though
there are conditions stated and implied.
Thus Professor Lovenz, of Hyde, not

that the debt Of science to France and
Great Britain is equally great. And
he states what, in his opinion, are the
three leading characteristics Of the
three nations In their attitude to
science. Would any guess them at
q first attempt? He praises France
for clearness, Germany for thorough

DICK KNOX BELIEVES
PLENTY MONEY IN U. 5,
Reaches This Conclusion After Seeing
20 Tors of Gold Hauled Thru
Gotham streets.

There may be, people. here who
think money is scarce, but among
these is not included n. N. Knox, Jr..
who returned last night from trip
to the East.
MIR. Knox was in New York when
$52,00O,OO0 in gold and securities
reached that city from England, and
watched the 40 trucks lake the 20
tons of yellow boys" through the
streets to the Morgan banks, the
great fortunes being guarded by 200
armed men.
Mr.. Knox spent most Of the time he
was away from Pine Bluff on the
Jersey coast but mingled in the
business centers long enough to find
that "business is picking up In tao
United States. and that manufacturers
and others who keep in close, touch
with affairs expect an early return
to normal conditions. and prosperity
greater than eNperinced.
These interviews, together with the
view of ~ tons of gold. convinced Mr.
Knox that there is plenty Of money in
the country, and that it is up TO the
people to substitute wish -had-H
iveness with go-after-it-iveness IN
order to put individual cases OF
hard luck to flight.
