An Illustration is given by an Eng

the East On leaving an Armenian
village he passed a beautiful green
valley, watered by a river that flowed
between strong entertainments. His
Armenian servant told him that, after
a great storm, the river had risen in
such flood that the persons living
near the bank fed for their lives.
There was a powder magazine near
the river. The sentinel who was
guarding it prepared to retreat. but
the officers who were watching the
scene from a mountain forbade him
to leave his post. For an hour the
sentinel struggled against the rising
waters, clinging desperately to the
lock of the magazine door
The water rose to his chin, and
then the flood ceased. He was deco

WHY POPES NEVER PREACH
Tradition Of the Church, That Has
Seldom Been Broken, ForbIds
Presence in Pulpit.

The preparation and delivery OF ser
mons which impose such heaVy
burden Of toll upon other ministers
of God have no terrors for the pope
for the good and sufficient reason that
the traditions of the church forbid
his preaching.
OF all the many strange restrictions
which hedge about pope, one OF the
strangest is that he should not be al
lowed to preach Only once In 3OV
years has pope delivered a sermon,
and that was under most exceptional
circumstances in 1916.
On the Octave OF the Epiphany a
celebrated preacher, Padre Ventura,
was to have occupied the pulpit IN
St. Peters, but was suddenly taken i'll.
To prevent disappointment 70 the
vast crowd which had assembled Plus
TX broke through the custom OF ages,
and ascending the pulpit delivered a
simple, homely sermon that perhaps
impressed its hearers more than the
finest eloquence might have done, be-
cause of its uaiqucness.

GAVE AWAY HARO.LUCK PIN
Hotel Clerk Who Got It Not Afraid
of Ominous Warning That Ac-
companied 1t.

The superstitious among his fellow
clerks at the McAlpin were a little
"leery" of r. G. Ebert, the room
clerk, when, after obviously admiring
the big scarfpin they had just seen
Col j. Harry Belan of Washington
present him. they learned that every
previous owner of the pin had killed
somebody, by accident or otherwise
Colonel Behan, who drove his auto
mobile over here, has not escaped the
ill-luck engendared by the possession
of the pin, which is dark stone, on
which is carved head that might be
that of Viking or Hindu demon.
Colonel Rohan did not murder man.
but six months after the pin came in
to his possession his automobile
struck an old man in Washington
with fatal results. He told Ebert
that he had since given the pin to
three or four other persons, and that
each had returned it to him after a
spell of nervous prostration. He Of
fered the pin to Ebert, but the latter
hesitated. Yesterday Ebert jokingly
remarked that he would take that pin
and the risks accompanying it If Colo
mel Behan was really in earnest. The
colonel took the pin from his tie and
passed 1t over
According to the story that goes

THE SALESGIRL TALKS

Ii was one of those loathly match
ing" missions, undertaken, with dire
full threats in case of nonfulhllment,
at the breakfast table that morning,
that brought me alongside the ribbon
counter of the great department store.
Four women were ahead OF. me at
the counter. None of them appeared
to know whether she wanted cerise or
alice-blue ribbon. But they all seemed
to be perfectly certain that the sales
girl, who had a great many puffs. an
uptiIted nose, and a certain self-pro-
tecting manner of independence, was
trying TO put something over on them.
Therefore they one and all spatted
with her The spats were unequal,
because the salesgirl needed her job.
After going over the entire stock all
four of the women decided that they
wouldn't buy any ribbon

The Value OF Good Clothes.

Eccentricity is not to be desired
either in dress or manners. 1t Is only
another name for vanity. Still, there
is something to be said for those OF
us whose circumstances often require
us to wear garments not cut after
the prevailing mode. Good clothes,
however, made in any fashion except
the --latest extreme" have a marked
effect upon the mental condition Of
the wearer. Even Emerson deigned
to discuss the moral effect suitable
clothes had upon certain tempera'
ments. He says: IF man Tor wom-
AMI have not firmness and have keen
sensibilities, it is perhaps wise econ
omy to go to a good shop and dress
irreproachably. One can then dis
miss all care from the mind, and may
easily find that performance an addi-
ton Of confidence. a fertilization that
turns the scale In social encounters.
You have all heard the experience of
the woman who declared that the
sense of being well dressed gave her
feeling of inward peace which re-
ligion was powerless to bestow.-Sub

Formation of California Coast.

The biologists tell us strange
story of the California coast. Ages ago
its mountain peaks, mere reefs in a
great expanse of sea, rose to such
height that Santa Barbara channel was
a vast valley over which roamed the
elephant, camel, lion, saber-toothed
tiger and other animals whose fossil
remains are scattered over the coun-
try and some of which are found on
the islands.
Then the land again sal k beneath
the sea and again rose, and marine fos.
sis are found in abundance along the
shores and on the mountain tops many
miles from the sea. Numerous gold
hunters have been surprised to find
the skeletons of whales at an eleva-
ton of 1000 feet and two miles inland

It's urgent need.
Many years previous Halls father
had loaned David Eastman large
sum of money. Things went wrong
with Eastman. Then they went bet

over to his creditor his little mort
gagged farm at GRAFTON, with the pro-
fixed rental while he lived Finally
Eastman wrote TO Halls father that
he would be able to square the whole
debt, some ten thousand dollars, with

Halls father died before the year
was up. Hal wrote to Mr.. Eastman,
asking what the prospects as to the
promised money might be. He re-
ceived a speedy reply, stating that if
he would come down TO Grayton the
old account would be settled in cold
cash.

Some nations (of remote world
were very intent upon living at peace
one with another-so intent that they
spent enormous sums in making them
selves prepared for war. For in that
world. curiously enough. the condi.
tions were such that there was no way
to keep from fighting except to be
ready to do so at the drop of hat
But incidentally to these martial
preparations it was impossible to pre-
vent war acquiring, potentially. new
horrors, and when these numbered
several the nations suddenly few at
one anothers throat.
They laid it to natural curiosity.
I'VE simply had to try those new
horrors out!" they explained to the
astonished onlookers, who had been
saying that there never would be an
