B. l.. Taylor, the funny man of
the Chicago Tribune, writes this com
mon sense; "The stoutest intellect is
not damaged by taking it to church oc-
casionally. Preachers are assumed to be
dull. But the church has no monopoly
of dullness. There are proportionately
as many dull writer's as preachers, or
as many dull painters or lawyers. And
there is one thing which may be got
from almost any preacher-a reminder
that you owe something to humanity.
Service seems to be, more than ever
before, the keynote of the church, and
it is possible to combine this notion of
service with positive disbelief in the
story of Jonah and the whale.

HER INHERITANCE
sy FRANK FlLsoN.



Little Miss Raymond read the letter
beside her plate and looked up in
dazed way. 1t announced that she
had fallen heir. most unexpectedly, to
the sum OF $4,000
When one is thirty years OF age,
not prepossessing, and a stenographer
on SIS a week, the future does not
look very promising. Miss Raymond
had bought new sIit that very week.
She had almost decided to let 1t go
back, although she knew that she
looked most attractive in ii. But
now, OF course, there would be many
suits and dresses.
Then the thought OF Philip Barton
struck home to her, and she flushed
guiltily, and the mirage of new dresses
suddenly disappeared.
Philip was her only friend in the
big city. He had lived in the same
rooming house for three years, and
they had been fast friends all that
time. He had confided to her that II
he had a certain sum he could start
profitable undertaking in the manu-
facture Of d certain mechanical appli-
ance now made at disproportionate-
ly high price by the firm which EN-
ployed him at 500 And he had fixed
the exact sum at $4,000. Not that he
expected ever to have that amount
But he had contided it to her as one
OF those unrealizable dreams that
come to all of us.
That was last Saturday night. For
whole year they had dined out each
Saturday night together.
Philip was two years younger than
herself A mere boy, she considered
him. She priced their friendship the
more because she realized that some
day love would come into his life.
Poor, timid little Miss Raymond! No
love had ever entered hers, though
she was overlooking with charity and
affection for all humanity She was
the sort OF woman whom men seldom
apprize at their true worth. When

FINALLY "GOT" HIS AVERSION
Jealous Trout Made a Jonah OF HIS
Rival, Swallowing Him
Whole.

Ever hear of trout being in love,
turning cannibal and committing muir
der?
Last autumn two trout, each meas
uring ten inches, were taken from a
small spring at Wintergreen estate,
Highland lake, and placed in a deep
spring, ten feet below walls, where
Pete, tame trout, fifteen inches long,
had made his home for seven years
without a companion, according to
Winsted Comm dispatch to the New
York Herald.
Pete at once took liking to one OF
the trout, but whenever the lid Of the
spring was raised he would glide
through the water after the other one,
and whenever close enough, tried TO
bite the fleeing fish. 1t also was no
ticed at feeding time, when bits of
meat were dropped into the water,
that Pete did not object when his
friend rose from the sandy bottom to
get bite, but kept his eyes on the
other fellow and Immediately gave
chase if he tried to get any food. Jeal-
Gus Pete more than once filed his
mouth so full of liver that he could
not close it,
The protracted drought caused the
water level to drop from eight feet TO
two, and the trout whose life Pete
had sought for three months fell vic
tim to the big trout's prowess, the
shallow water not giving him the room
he had been accustomed to when flee
ing from Pete's assaults. When the
lid of the spring was raised the other
day only two trout were to be seen
Pete and his friend. From Pete's
mouth protruded the tail of the miss
ing fish
Pete was easily captlred and the
dead trout extracted with difficulty
Pete appeared none the worse for his
experience and seems contented with
his one companion.

a man does, he draws a rich prize in
the matrimonial luclly-bag.
Miss Raymond thought about the
legacy the whole day at the office. She
was amused at the independence
which it seemed to give her. She
trembled no longer in fear OF dismis-
sal when rumors flew about that
hands" were being laid of. She was
a "hand" had been Now she was
beginning to feel a human being
again.
When she got home she put on the
new suit and looked at herself crit
cally in the glass. Whether it was
the new suit or whether it was the
legacy, undoubtedly she was begin
ming to look quite pretty. Her face
was flushed and the excitement had
added a luster to her eyes and an ex-
pressiveness to her mouth. Miss Ray
mond was beginning to feel quite
proud of her appearance.
And then the thought of Philip came
to her, An old maid of thirty! A
young man of twenty-eight! What
would not life mean to him if he
could have that three thousand!
She thought of the drab years be-
hind her. the colorless years that must
stretch before her, away and away.
Little Miss Raymond put her head
down upon her hands and cried.
1T isn't for him, she told herself
defantly, as she sealed up the type
written letter 1T is for-the sake Of
the girl who isis to take my place q"
And little Miss Raymond cried
again Then, lest the thought Of
selfish pleasure should make her re-
pent she went out quickly and
dropped tho letter into the post Office
box.
Quixotic? Little Miss Raymond was
made that way That was why she
had never succeeded in the stern
struggle OF life.
She listened from her room next
evening. which was Saturday, to hear
Philips step on the stairs. She was
dressed-in the new suit, an unwar-
ranted extravaganza now-and wait
ing for him to take her to dinner

One of the most costly things in the

ago a man who had become the victim
of incorporate devotion to cause and
allowed mis- mind to slip into the whirl-

that friend of his cause who best could
serve it.
Booth, the wouId-be patriot and
champion Of the south, gave it the
deadiest blow it could have received
after Lee had failed.
Psycopaths may classify the assassin
Of Lincoln as they will. There was

Booth TO set US all to thinking how
much Of slovenly and impatient think

ielt her heart beating 80 unanimously
that she could hardly speak for fear
OF betraying herself
Wonderful Rws, Claire!" he cried,
shaking her hands in rapture. You
can't even guess 1t. I'll tell you after
dinner. Not before or during dinner
after! And youll be so happy for
my sake when you know"
They went out to the little Italian
place where they had dined so often,
and, during the repast OF many
courses little Miss Raymond watched
his happy face in mute sorrow. She
felt that this was the beginning of the
end OF their friendship.
After dinner he drew the typewr1t-
ten letter from his pocket and read II
to her An anonymous person, who
had the grayest reasons for doing so,
wished to bestow the sum OF $4,000
upon him. That sum had been depos-
tied in a certain bank to his account,
and he was asked to make no effort to
discover the identity of the sender.
He had been to the bank, and the
money was there. The manager had
told him that the mysterious depositor
was a woman: she had explained to
| him that she wished to remain UNI
known to him The manager knew
| nothing OF her, but he had accepted
| the money subject to an investigation
OF Philips record. So the money was
as good as his.
And after this | am going to pay
the bill every Saturday night said
Philip gleefully
And he began telling her all about
! his plans: how he could get part
ner to go in with him to a similar
amount. and of the tiny factory that
he was planning. with success assured
and a prosperous life. They fingered
| in the restaurant until everyone else
was gone, and the sleepy walters eyed
| them resentfully and then they
walked home together, and Philip was
still talking
And OF course / shall move from

got little fiat already planned, and
Claire, l want to tell you something.
| There is the sweetest, dearest girl

to share it with me I have never told
you of her"
No" answered Claire Raymond
quietly. He was too eager to see che
| clutch she gave at her heart, and she
was glad of that.
'And then, she said, with tremu-
lous little laugh. 81 suppose our long
friendship will be ended
We'll, OF course things VIII be diff
ferent," he admitted. but I hope we
shall see good deal Of each other,

! ically, feeling that his eyes were
| turned quizzically on hers. And all
the while she was repeating fiercely:

And suddenly she felt his arms
about her, and his lips on hers. you

| umphantly. Didn't you guess?
Didn't you know? Tell me you can

"Oh, / dol" she sobbed, overcome
by the revulsion. 81 have always loved

SUES TO COLLECT COMMITS
SION ON LAND TRANSACTION

S. F. Gutsch, real estate dealer
of Hope, has filed suit in district
court against Clarence F. Donmey-
er, Martin L. Donmeyer and Charles
L. Donmeyer, brothers, to collect
1875 which he claims is due him as
commission on a $4,000 land deal.
Gutsch, as an agent for the Dom
sold a section of land in
July, 1914, at $4,000. The brothers
claim their price was $4,000 and
that he should have sold the land
for that and kept the commission.
He has been unable to collect his
since he sold for $l5,-
900.
