TOO MUCH OF AN ORDEAL
Insurmountable Obstacle to Eminent
Americans Having His Life
Mask Made.

Orchard Brooks an American
sculptor, who recently gave up his
studio in Paris and anne back home,
not long ago told me of an experience
he had with a certain distinguished
American who has attained the high
est honors at the hands of his coun-
trymen," remarked Frank j. DAILY of
Fort Smith, Ark, at Washington.
"Mr. Brooks, while dabbling with his
clay and experimenting in Paris, hit
upon a new method of making life
masks of distinguished persons, the
life mask, of course, always being
preferable to a death mask. This
method was a simple one, consisting
merely of lathering the persons face
and, after the lather had dried, APP
plying wax, over which the plaster
paris was spread. Brooks explained
what he desired to the secretary of the
distinguished American, and the sec
rotary, after celebrating, said he saw
no objection to it. He would consult
his chief, he said.
elbow long will it take? p inquired
the secretary, as he was about to de-
part to apprise his chief.
"'About half an hour returned Mr..
Brooks.
"tOh, l forgot to ask suddenly
said the secretary, returning. "Can
he talk while the mask is being
made?'
"'Certainly not replied the sculp-
tor.
"'Then it's all off, returned the sec
rotary, throwing up his hands. He
couldn't keep still that long to save
his life"

What the Bulletins Told.

He had been away back on the farm
for many months. From time to time
he had heard that they were still
fighting in Europe, but the apples,
prunes and pigs had kept him too
busy to be we'll posted on the news of
battle. Reaching Market and Kear-
ney streets and seeing a crowd outside
the Chronicle office gazing at the score
board, he felt sure that some very i'm
portant dispatches had come through.
Judging from the size of the crowd
he thought it might be the end of the
war. Cub, I haven't my specs; tell
me, is it all over?" he said, address,
ing a tall youngster. "Not quite, but
very nearly" What's the latest?"
"a tie in the eighth and one down in
the ninth."-San Francisco Argonaut.

and safety cry. World peace depends
upon individual peace; world CONVEX
sion depends upon individual CONVEX
sion. These are not to be attained by
paper arbitration or civil enactment
but by the spirit of Almighty God.
Our God would have the church
and the world understand the great
European war is a sign of the times
showing the nearness of the end of
this worlds history. And while it is
possible possible, however through
Gods miraculous ~interposition and to
serve his purpose), that the present
war may be suddenly checked, yet,
it remains nevertheless true that the
world is rapidly approaching Arma-
geddon and the end of all things mum
dane. Coming as it did as suddenly
and as unannounced as would be a
clap of thunder from a clear sky it
rightly causes distress of nations.
Did not the Saviour point out q time
when one of the signs of the last
days would be distress of nations
with perplexity, mems hearts
failing them for fear and looking af-
ter these things which are coming on
the earth.
"Shall we view these things and
this situation in an Indifferent and
listless way and thus be u%nprepared
for the second coming of the Lord
and Master, or shall we heed the
Gil of the spirit and make the needed
preparation to meet him in peace?
We are indeed living in just the very
time of the end. just before the cri-
sis of the ages"

Club House for Maids.

Vassar college has a club house for
the maids employed at the establish
ment. Someone discovered in 1898
that there were 200 girls of the same
age as the college students who were
living on the campus, but were not of
them. AS these girls had no oppor-
tunities for recreation some Of the
girls began giving parties to which
the maids were invited. In 1908 a
club house was built, which has an
attractive sitting room on the first
floor, a smaller one on the second
floor and three bedrooms on the second
floor and a dining room. The care of
the house and the management is in
the hands of a supervisor.

The only thing within our own borders
that has given us grave concern in re

the voices Of Americans which were not
indeed and in truth American, but which
spoke alien sympathies. which came from
men who loved other countries better
than they loved America, men who were
psrtisans Of other causes than that OF
America and had forgotten that their
chief and only allegiance was to the
great government under which they live.
These voices have not been many, but
they have been very loud and very clam
