Too Much.

In certain city the street car sys-
tenn is operated on the policy that the
passenger is always right, and it seems
to work to the advantage of the COM
pany. A man, woman and boy plain
ly of fare age boarded a pay-as-you-
enter car. Father handed the conduc-
tor dime and started for a seat.
"How about the child?" asked the
conductor politely.
Father reached in his pocket for an
other fare and as he offered it to the
conductor remarked:
81 never have paid for him."
"How old is he?" asked the cOnduc-
tor.
'sNot quite five."
81 beg your pardon" replied the con-
ductor. II thought he was past six.
If you say he is not five ! cannot &C
cept fare for him."
Father returned the money to his
pocket and sat down, with a flushed
face, realizing the polite conductor had
given him the worst of it.
"Well," remarked father to mother,
IT guess we will pay for William after
this" indianapolis News.

Pain and Appendicitis.

That pain at what doctors call "Mc-
Burney's point" is not, as generally
believed, proof of appendicitis was
demonstrated before a Texan medical
society recently by DR.. P. I. Nixon Of
San Antonio in an address published
in the Medical Record.
DIR. Nixon told the history of several
cases in which operation proved the
diagnosis of appendicitis to have been
erroneous and of one In which an ex-
ploratory operation proved appended
it's to be the trouble when there was
no pain over McBurney's point This
is situated low down on the right side
of the abdomen.
1t takes a combination of several diff
ferent symptoms together to warrant
certain diagnosis Of appendicitis.

A Iona Lived EAGLE.

1t has been a tradition from time
that the eagle renews its
strength when very old. 1t mounts
aloft until it comes very near the sun,
when, scorched by the heat, it throws
itself into the sea, whence it energies
full of renewed vigor.
Such have supposed that the passage
in Psalms CHI, 5, "Thy youth Is re-
newed like the eagles" alludes to this
old fable. But the more probable fact
is that it refers to the strength and
vigor which characterize the eagle even
in old age.
A couple of years ago large speci-
men Of eagle was shot on the ford by
the city of Nakskov, Denmark. Around
it's neck was fastened a small chain to
which was attached a sealed bottle.
On opening the bottle a note was found
written in Danish, which translated
reads as follows: Caught and again
made free by N. and @. Anderson in
the year 1892"

The Kick Subtle.

A man who lives in Savannah and
owns plantation in Chatham county,
Ca, bought mule with a reputation
for owning a set of gifted and hair
trigeered hind legs and shipped her
out to his place to be used in blowing
for cotton.
A Sunday or so later he visited the
plantation. The darby whose particu
lar job it was to care for the working
stock came limping up to him to re
port.
"Jim." asked the owner of the plan
tation. "does that new mule kick
much!'
"Kick?'' said Jim. BOSS. dat dar

"OLD Whiskers" Carranza OF
Mexico has carried his bluff just a
little too far with Uncle Sam and ne
is now up against the proposition OF
either backing down or having to
face the United States army and
navy. President Wilson, in his
policy of watchful waiting, has
been about as lenient with Mexico as
one country could be toward another
and our soldiers and citizens have
suffered abuse after abuse from the
thieves and cut-throats who have
raided our border.
We have kept our hands Oft
Mexico altogether too long and
President Wilson has now deter
mined on a firm stand that will bring
the country to the south of us to
time or they will have to suffer the
consequences of an invasion.
Nearly everyone wants to have the
trouble in Mexico settled and the
wish of many is that it be done
speedily. If our army has to comb
the country from one end to the
other until peace is restored.
Old Carranza has been trying to
play deceiving game, that of being
friendly with the United States and
at the same time doing everything in
his power to interfere with what the
United States has set out to accom-
plish.
If Carranza generals carry out
their threat to attack the u. s..
troops if they should go in any other
direction than northward the country
should be made to pay the con-
sequences.

Stamp CoIlectinu.

In 1847 the island of Mauritius issued
two varieties of stamps-one in red at
a penny, the other blue at twopence
OF these only some twenty or so are
known to be in existence, and within
recent years two pairs of red and blue
sold respectively for $3.50 and 1921.
Stamp collecting is necessarily a mod
ern hobby, and it would be difficult
now to trace it to its source. Some say
that the hobby was Of English origin
and spread to the continent; others de-
clare that it came to us from Belgium.
The first note on the subject in Notes
and Queries appeared in June, 1880,
when Mr.. Cresswell, Tunbridge
schoolmaster, communicating some
thing new-the fact that boy in his
form had collected between 800 and
400 different specimens. In 1864 pro-
vincial paper referred laughingly to a
collector who advertised his collection
for sale at f2OO. adding, I'VE only wish
he may get it."-London Standard.

STORY OF A sEANCE.
In Which the Medium Predicted a
ROYAL Assassination.


ROYAL Assassination.
Eleanor Calhoun was an American
actress who went to London when
James Russell Lowell was United
States minister. In 1908 she became
by marriage the Balkan Princess
Lazaroyich Hrebelianovich. Recently
she wrote a book which bears the title
Pleasures and Palaces"
The book contains the strange story
of spiritualistic seance held by an
Englishwoman. which was attended by
W. T. Stead, who afterward went
down on the Titanic; the princess and
her husband and some others. The
prince handsd to the medium some
sealed envelopes. She selected one,
sat for a moment. pressing it in her
hand, and said. ''This is from a person
of Importance king.
Mr.. Stead then asked her to describe
him. She gave a very good descrip-
ton of King Alexander of Servia,
though she could not tell his name or
his country. Suddenly she leaped up,
her eyes tight shut, her face white,
and, speaking as though she were in
the midst of a real scene, she describ-
ed the assassination of the king and
queen. Mr.. Stead asked what soldiers
they were and of what race, and she
answered: IT don't know. l never saw
such people, Their uniforms resemble
the Russians, but they are not Rus
sians." Then she uttered EXPLANATIONS
of horror and said, ooh, Mr.. Stead, lei
me not go onp'
Mr.. Stead, says the writer, urged the
seer, and she proceeded to describe the
tragedy. This seance was held in
March, 1903, and the murders did not
occur until the following June.

KISSING In Iceland.

Among old time laws against kissing
those Of Iceland appear to have been
the most severe. Punishment was the
penalty laid down for kissing another
mans wife, either with or without her
consent. The same punishment was
enforced for kissing an unmarried wo-
man against her WILL If it could be
proved that she had consented to be
kissed the offender was still liable to
a fine of a great quantity Of cloth for
each Offense.

from the Department of the Interior
There are IA national parks in this country IN winch are
contained the natural scenic wonders of America Many OF the
found here are not surpassed the old country and many
loyal Americans pronounce home gandeures far more pctu
esoue and beautiful than those Of the Alps.
The laying off public parks and the building OF national
highways is making that slogan See America First more
popular with our own people each year The rampage of war
destroying the historic points of interest in many parts OF
Europe This will give added impetus to the slogan The Ma
ona Parks system works out for the benefit of tourists and all
Those who have a love for the beauty Of nature
The portfolio contains detailed information pertaining to
all our national parks and excellent maps show the easiest
routes by which they may be reached
