Masked Women.

Upper class Swahili women wear Gu
rious masks, which are made Of leather
and beads in a wooden frame. The
mask Is derived from the traditional
usage of Mosem women. who must
keep their faces covered in the pres
ence OF men. For several centuries
Arab traders have frequented this east
African coast, and to their influence
are due most Of the civilized customs
found today among the natives of the
district The clothing worn by these
prosperous danes is Of silk; their shoes
are partly of silver, and they wear
much silver jewelry. The Moslems In
Zanzibar. by the way, are less fanati-
cally strict about religious usages than
their brethren In Morocco and Turkey.

THE CHERRY TREE

There by the pasture fence it stood,
Like some white cloud which float
ing by,
To tell the world that all is good.
Had stopped to linger in the sky.
Beneath it's shade the quiet cows
Rested, from out the monday sun;
Down from the slowly moving boughs
The blossoms fioated. one by one.
Blue sky, white blossoms; month of
May,
What beauties has your sunshine
wooed,
A joyflled, sunfilled. springtide day,
A heart outpouring gratitude!

Such Is Fame

The fame of Ionia's Main street

morning several automobile loads of
Belding aldermen and other citizens
came down on their way to Charlotte
TO investigate the paving proposition.
Belding is going to have a pavement
and while here they found out allah
the Ionia paving and methods of fl
nancing. The local method of voting
bonds and then building the pave
ment without selling them appealed
strongly TO the Silk City fathers. They
were given all the information they
desired by City Treasurer Steele who
entertained them at the city hall for
some time. From here they left on
their way 10 Charlotte.-lonia Senti-

HOW TO INVEST MONEY.
Exercise the Same Care You Would In
Buying a House.

Buying a Rouse.
One who has money TO invest should
know something OF what he is buying.
Otherwise he is mere gambler and
would have a better chance to win
If he played game Of cards for money.
All gambling is reprehensible, though
II must be conceded that speculation
In a sense is gambling. But this might
be said Of the purchase OF real estate
or any commodity Of a changeable
value.
Let the investor make a study Of
business conditions. Watch the earn
ings of the corporations and the rail-
ways as reported in the newspapers.
Note the trend OF trade. Observe the
transactions in prominent securities on
the Stock Exchange and have knowl-
edge OF what is going on. Exercise
the same care that you would In buy
ing a horse. an automobile. wagon
or house.
Fortunes have been made by those
who have pursued this method, and
fortunes lost by those who have sim
ply gone into speculation as IL they
were throwing dice. | well recall the
era Of railroad and industrial disturb
ance over twenty years ago, when no
body wanted to buy stocks and every
body wanted to sell. Those who pick
ed up the "cripples." as they were then
called, and held them until prosperity
revived, made handsome profits, In
some instances realizing more than ten
times what they paid.-Jasper In Les

Many of the reservations are long dis

while In places water Is real luxury.
The standards Of the community must
also be taken into consideration. and In
all too many localities the white people

these difficulties. and many, many

TOUGH OLD IRON.
The Famous Pillar In the Temple Of
Kutab Minar at Delhi.

There seems to be no doubt that the
metal produced previous to the intro
duction Of modern methods was supe-
rior in its resistance to ,corrosion to the
Gus iron articles. especially nails, which
showed far less rust after an exposure
of hundred years or so than the mod
ern variety does in few weeks.
One article, an old fiintlock pistol
was especially interesting. 1t was
found by friend in a patch Of woods
In Vermont and had evidently laid
there for many years, since a piece of
newspaper with the date 1876 had been
used as wadding In loading 1t. All the
iron parts were rather rough and pit
ted and covered with rust, but the arm
was In surprisingly good shape consid-
ering the conditions to which Il had
been subjected. The spring, hammer
and trigger were still capable of per-
forming their functions, and very little
effort was required to put the old
weapon In decidedly presentable condi-
tion.
Perhaps one of the most noted Of the
iron articles which have come down to
as from antiquity Is the famous pillar
In the temple Of Kutab Minar at Delhi.
India. This old shaft, which projects
some thirty feet above the surface OF
the ground, was erected about 900 Il. G.

pere itself has formed upon til. @.
