When he comes out he is well fed ON

Knowles didn't want the women

VIII little shop talk be permitted? May news
paper speak OF newspapers once more briefly to bring be-
fore its people some little facts which newspapers wish
all readers would know?
Some days ago a man said paper should publish
everything because 1t is supported by the public even
to the advertising for nothing some business which re-
fuses to spend nickel for advertising. This statement
was made hastily no doubt and without giving full
thought newspaper is supported 10y the public only I'M
the same respect as any other business is supported by
the public and it is not a charitable institution. The
great difference is that wonderful to say newspaper is
more like a church than other commercial undertakings
at least in one reSpec-no one is forced 10y circumstances
to pay for its upkeep You must buy groceries or go
hungry dygoodS or go naked but You struggle along
without an advertisement or without buying paper OF
your own If there is any charity involved in the printing
of newspaper may it be respectfully said the charity
given by the paper itself to the hundreds and thousands
of people who read and learn from it the news Of Che
world without paying for it, Please do not hastily con-
cude from this that paper does not want non-subScmb
ers to read it. 1t does.
A newspaper might also be compared to q show.
town could struggle along without show house. but he
population of any good town would never consent to re-
main without paper on show. The great difference is
that all must pay for the show Another difference is that
newspaper adyertses the town i'm which it is published
and the towns prospects, You business man, who put
display adj in your local paper only helping the paper

Prosperous Jamaicans.

A prosperous and law-abiding com
munity of 10000 Indians exists in
Jamaica. This is related in the an.
nual report for last year of the immi.
grafton department Of that flourishing
island. The season was one of the
worst droughts known in the island
for so years, but Notwithstanding, a
large amount of money was deposited
in the banks in the names of the In
dams, who now own considerable
property in the island. Recruitment
from India was suspended during the
year owing to the war and those i'm.
migrants who completed the period of
their indentures almost all elected
to remain on in the island, SO there
was little coming and going. The re-
port states that sickness decreased
and that the standard of living I'M
proved owing to the healthy surround.

Explosives From Gas Plants,

British local authorities have been
notified by the war office that
owing to the demand for benzol and
toluol for the manufacture of explo-
sives it has been found necessary to
require gas undertakings throughout
the kingdom to extract these constit-
uents from their gas, thereby in some
cases affecting the Illuminating power
of the gas and its calorific power.
1t is urged by the war office that
municipal councils should do every
thing in their power to prevent at
tacks on gas undertakings, owing to
possible deterioration of the gas sup
piled, and that this could best be done
by ceasing to test gas altogether, or
by preventing results of the test be-
ing made public.

too. Isn't there any way of getting
out of it, dear?"
The lawyer shook his head. "The
VIII is properly executed and wit
messed" he answered. "Of course it
might be possible to claim that she
had been of unsound mind. But know
that in spite of her eccentricities she
was woman of remarkable clarity of
mind. And anyway, a lawsuit with
Old Jebediah hat's-his-name would
be an expensive proceeding. No, my
dear, there isn't anything we can do
except turn the will over to Jebediah."
On the following morning Charley
set out for Greenville, accompanied
by Dorothy, who had pleaded to go
with him
Mr.. Jebediah Sturgeon was easily
located. He was, in fact, the chief
lawyer of the town, but when the Wis
ltors explained their presence ard
spoke of the Parrot association he
smiled with much amusement.
The late Miss Jerusha Shaw was a
remarkable woman" he said, as he
searched in tin box for some papers.
One of the eccentricities was an ex-
IRENE aversion from lawyers. under
stand that you are of our profession"
he added, turning to Charley.
Yes, and she had no use for NE on
that account"
$50 understood. can say, in fact,
that was the only lawyer for whom
she did have any use. Ours was a very
old friendship, and her will, though
apparently drawn up without legal ad-
vice, was, in fact drawn up by me. l
may say that Miss Shaw would have
placed as much confidence in me as
this statement denotes"
He drew a paper from the box, put
on his glasses, and began to peruse it.
Then he smiled genially.
The property was much smaller
than you expected to find, Mr.. En-
field?'' he asked.
She ought to have had about six
thousand dollars more" said Charley.
She had nineteen thousand dollars
more than appeared in the will" said
Mr.. Sturgeon. 1t was invested in GER
tain bonds which are in my keeping.
AS said, the late Miss Shaw honored
me with her absolute confidence. But
Miss Shaw was anxious to test your
honesty, Mr.. Enfield. In fact, she said
to me that she regretted she could not
put you to the test while she was
alive.
Knowing that my niece Dorothy,
he read, who has been butter-fingered
from birth, will inevitably break my
blue china teapot within few weeks
at most, l have hidden my last will
therein. If her husband, Mr.. Enfield,
destroys this will without carrying out
its provisions, the bulk of my property
is to go to the Parrot association of
Boston, founded by myself. But if the
said Charles Enfield is honest enough
to comply with the instructions in my
will. the whole of my remaining prop
erty is to go to him."
Dorothy flung her arms round her
husbands neck. Dear Aunt Jerusha!"
she cried.

Gracious Manners

The charm of gracious manners and
consideration for other human beings
is a quality that develops rapidly if
given half a chance The woman who
is always Kind creates an atmosphere
of loneliness that is like a halo about
her head. II you are naturally shy
and reticent, it is all the more neces-
sary that you should endeavor to shine
bit. II is not lack of pleasant
thoughts that worries the self-con-
scious, but the fear of giving express
sion to them. You must try to make
yourself companionable to others.

Night and the Starr.

Some of our boys at the front say
that they really never saw the stars
before. 1t must be great relief when
there is brief space of quiet to look
up at these silent sentinels. In the
cities we live too much indoors and
such living makes for pettiness OF
spirit. Almost all of those who wrote
the Bible lived in fiat rooted houses
and went up to the house tops when
the day was done so that the wheel
ing planets and the whole host of the
stars were their faIniliars. 1t was in
that light that they thought of map
and his destiny.-M. A. B.

this time he refrains from ell strong
food and the women wait upon him
as an invalid. Meantime the mother
