AFable, a Table and a Moral in One Chapter

One man could live in his house; the other could
drive his car. Yet the house-buyer in our story is a
myth, while each year many thousands buy incom-
plete automobiles. and then spend money to COM
plete them.
We have just finished reading an article in a re-
cent issue of the Hardware Age in which a well-in-

all probability be elected principal
next year. Prof. Kirk is a young
man of irTeproachable character and
is considered to be one of the best
teachers that has ever taught in
Rockport. He is alive and progress
sive in his school work and always
takes the initiative not only in class
work but in the athletic sports as
well. He is very popular with the
fair sex. Always ready to lend his
aid where 1t will do the most good.
this enterprising young teacher is
now organizing moonlight" school
in Rockport to help stamp out Hit

this city and territory. adjacent
thereto. This live educator will de-
vote his time in a painstaking effort
to help those who we're not fortunate
enough to avail themselves of ade-
quate educational advantages in their
youth. Prof. Kirk abs become a fac
tor in the social and educational life
in Rockport and it is to be hoped
that he will remain a resident of
this city permanently.
Miss Eunice Shultz, who has
charge of the primary department,
is a young lady of unexceptional
ability as a teacher and this is the
second term she has taught here.
Besides being good teacher she is
most charming young lady. Miss
Jessye Marlowe is one of the new
teachers this year but she has won
her way into the hearts of her pupils
by her personality and her work in |
the school rom is most satisfactory. |
Miss MarlOwe is winsome and |
charming young lady and she num-

the term Miss Marlowe was i'll with
typhoid fever and her place was
filled by Miss Stella Daniels, the
charming elocutiOnist and dramatic
artist of Olaton. Miss Daniels, il is
understood, will shortly start a ]

Washington, Jan. Secretary
Tumulty threw up his hands in de-
SPAR and heaved a sigh to-day when
he read a published story saying he
had gone to the Capitol to work
against a bill for prohibition in the
capital. He declared IL a climax to
run of hard luck which contained
the following instances:
A Methodist clergyman sat on his
silk hat at Indianapolis.
A policeman refused him admit
lance to the Indiana Democratic Club
reception to the President because of
the aforesaid battered hat.
In New York, later, he stopped at
one hotel and the proprietor of an
other wrote him letter of protest.
contending that because he was a
good Democrat Mr.. Tumulty should
have stopped with him.
He went to Jersey City with his
wife for social visit and the news
papers said he went to settle an APP
pointment fight.
He went to the capitol and talked
informally with several senatorial
friends and somebody said he was
lobbying.
At the earnest request of Demo-
cratic Congressman he wrote letter

Armage0dOn Presage by War.
Pastor Russell, head Of the Inter-
national Bible Students Association,
delivered three lectures in Louis
Vile Sunday, morning, afternoon and
night. In the afternoon he spoke to-
nearly 1000 persons at Macauley's
Theater, and in the morning address,
ed the mid-winter gathering 'of the
association. Of which he is head, in
the auditorium of The Seelbach. It
was estimated that an overflow Of
500 persons failed to gain admit
lance to the meeting in the alter
noon, and they went to The Seelbaeh
and listened to addresses by mem
bers of the association.
Pastor Russell himself did not
take Bible theme for lecture in the
afternoon. The world, he said. is
nearing the end of six days, each be-
ing 1000 years long. The seventh
of these 1000 year days will be the
Sabbath, the millennium, he declar-
ed.
He said the present war in Flu
rope presago Armageddon; that the
present strife o: nations was fore
told as a precursor of the millenni-
UNI, and that an earthquake and fire
of anarchy soon will follow the pres
ent strife, causing revolutions and
the ultimate destruction of our in
stitutions and social system, after
which, he declared, will follow the
peace prophetic Of the millennium.
