would be almost 80 much nonsense to
the reader. This, however. was when
he talked with the boys. When he
got into tho full swing Of babbling to
himself, 1t slowly purged itself into
pure English. The sentences grew
longer and were enunciated with q
rhythm and ease that were reminis'

The old man showed pleasure IN
being thus called upon. He cleared
his throat and began:
Twenty or thirty years ago my

hotly. "Cut out the funny stun and

Tho Beginning Of the End.

The Beginning Of che End.
The tale began.
There were very many people In
the world In those days. San Fran
cisco alone held four millions"
what Is millions?" Edwin inter
rupted.
Granser looked at him kindly
II know you cannot count beyond
ten. 30 will tell you. Hold up your
two hands. On both Of them you have
altogether ten fingers and thumbs.
Very well. I now take this grain Of
sand-you hold Il, Hoo-Hpo." He
dropped the grain Of sand into the
lads palm and went on: "Now that
grain Of sand stands for the ten
fingers Of Edwin. I add another
grain. That's ten more fingers. And
I add another. another. and another.
until have added as many grains
as Edwin has fingers and thumbs.
That makes what call one hundred.
Remember that word-one hundred.
Now I put this pebble in HareLip's
hand. It stands for ten grains OF
sand, of ten tens Of fingers, or one
hundred fingers. ! put this pebble in
Hare-Lp's hand. It stands for ten

And u on. laboriously, and with
much reiteratiou, he strove to build

Of numbers. Az the quantities in

ferent magnitudes In each Of their
hands. For still higher sums. he laid
the symbols on the log Of driftwood:
and for symbols he was hard put, be-

Look I'm The Glass.

If you feel grouchy and out of sorts
and the world seems warped and twis
ted from all viewpoints, look in the
glass. Your own reflection will sci
you thinking and wondering if it is
not You instead of the world that Is
warped.
When something goes wrong and
you feel like cussing or kicking the
cat there is nothing quite SO etflclous
as looking in glass. You see your
self rs you are and not as perhapsyou
think you are. All of your hard lines
and your i'll humor are reflected by
the faithful glass, and the moment a
heeting smile begins to creep over
your face the glass will magnify 1t
and glorify it until in but short time
you will be forgetting entirely your
i'll humor and will be smiling from
the pure JOY of living.
Look in the glass.

Supreme Court Knocks Out Richa rds
Primary Law.

The State Supreme Court last week
sustained the lower court in it's de
cision Oh the constitutionality of the
new primary election law enacted by
the last legislature to take the place
of the Richards law enacted by the
people at the election of 1912. The
Supreme Court decided that the legis
lative act would hold. This puts II g
kibosh on the Richards primary law
and instead Of holding the primary
in March and having meeting of
the proposal committeeman in Janu-
AIRY as provided in the Richards act,
the primary will not be held until
June of next year. The opening Of
the primary campaign will in that
way probably be deferred until after
the first of the year.

Just Plain Cheap Skates.

When war broke out thousands OF
American citizens found themselves
suddenly stranded ir Europe because
of inability to realize on their lines of
credit, and were unable to get out OF
the war zones.
They set up mighty howl and
eventually the United States govern
ment advanced TO them the funds
necessary to get them back to Ameri-
ca. In each case the government ex-
acted from the tourist written IA
greement to pay back to the govern
ment the sums advanced.
Since then the treasury department
has used every honorable means
known to collect the money thus loan
ed it. citizens abroad. Some of this
has been repaid, but much of it has
not, and now the government has
been forced to the extremity of pub
fishing III bhe press OF the country
the names and addresses of the dead
beats.
Whenever you see such list just
remember that they borrowed from
Uncle Sam the funds necessary tc
pull them out of the jaws of death
and now are not honorable enough tC
repay the loans.
Catalogue them in Jour minds as
deadbeats of the first water, just plair
and unadulterated cheap skates.
That's all they are, even if some O
them are high in commercial circles
pillars of the church, and even minis
ters of the gospel.
Lord, what a bunch.
