HELD QuAKtRs BROUGHT RAIN
They Always Broke Drouth at An
uuaI Conventions.

There arc several ways Of breaking
n lonc and disastrous drouth, none OF
them iu:allihlc. not even that Of dis
charging a cannon into the ficeCy and
tormCnting clouds that ought to pre-
cipitate enough moisture to save the
crops DO YOU know how the New
Yorker Of two or three generations
ago went about procuring rain when
rain was badly needed He appealed
TO the Quakers Of the city to hold a
convention. inviting the brethren and
sisters from Philadelphia and even
moro remote cities. II was not al
WAYS possible to persuade these
serious Christians to assemble. but II
Is m established fact that they never
were known to hold meeting In
New York city when the country for
miles around was not deluged. Bank
crs and produce men. who were
largely dependent on the success of
crops. were more than willing to put
mp tho cost of a Quaker meeting.
The superstition arose in a pcCuSlr
way BEFORE the beginning Of the
past century there was an annual fes-
tival week in New York. somewhat
similar to the Homecoming week
not celebrated in other parts Of the
country. II had it's origin in the reli-
gious conventions Of the various
churches. which agreed for economic
reasons to meet at the same time. \
week devoted TO religion and foreign
missions was added, with street fairs
convened. the street festivities were
invariably spoiled by a drenching
dowupour Of rain So the Quaker
assembly came to be regarded as thh
infalliblc rain prod uc Globe

SURPRISING THE FACTS.

deficit for this fiscal year viii be

public is the conviction of those who

| the light Of Secretary McAdoo's own
statements. Some time ago, before
/ the preparedness bins were framed
/ ana before the second invasion Ot
/ Mexico, NcAdoo went before the
ways ana means committee and
stated that allowing 100000. 600 for

been no explanation of how the ad-

possible conclusion is that after the

crown. II would be for the French a
game of turn about is fair play"
Bluecher insisted after Waterloo, in
1915, that Napoleon should be hanged,
instead of merely deposed and exiled.
Had the German general hid his way
there would have been most Helena
IN history. but an immediate eXecu-
ton.
Again in 1870 Won Moltke's army at
Sedan captured Emperor Napoleon
III. and that monarch went into exile
never more TO return to France. His
venerable royal widow, Eugene, once
the prettest woman in Europe, and
who still lives. was also an exile.
Ending the regime Of the Hohenzol-
lerns as rulers Of Germany would be
a Zig event in history The first
Hohenzollern appeared S2S years ago.
hut the first Hohenzollern king came
upon a throne II years after Philadel-
phia was founded.
King Alfonso of Spain belong to an
older royal house, the Bourbons who
made their bow a couple of centuries
earlier than the Hohenzollerns. or
about a thousand years ago.
But the Bourbons didn't begin their
trade Of Ringing in France for a num-
Der of centuries after the first Of the
family wrote his name in history.
Francis Joseph emperor OF Aus
tria, is the twenty second ruler Of the
house of Hapsburg The first one be-
gan his reign just seven hundred
years ago.

poared at Moscow 575 years ago. so
that the cars royal family is younger

Unless the present great war shall
differ from most OF the great wars of
history. a king or two is sure to lose
his crown when II ends.
