Bargaining In Arabia.


A missionary was bargaining one
day with an Arab stonecutter.
"Give me 81 boatload," said the
Arab.
THAT is too much" replied the mis-
sionary. You only charge Sc to your
fellow Arabs, ana they make you wait
for your money. l pay spot cash.
Eyes, but you ought to be glad to get
it for seyen," said the stonecutter.
you do not know how much my fell
low Arabs despise me for dealing with
you at all, because you are an infidel,
you know"
The Arabs are all Mohammedans.
The stronger a Christian man is the
more OF an infidel they think him to
be. Missionaries we're unwelcome In
that country. Only by their medical
work did they get any foothold at all.
There have perhaps been fewer con-
verts there than on any other mission
field. But missions have been estab-
lished there less than thirty years.
Sometimes several generations of mis-
sionaries live and work and die so that
their successors may see the fruit of
the laDors of them all.-World Outlook.

Won by Good Looks.

One man in English history owed his
success in life almost wholly to his
good looks. 1t was George Villiers,
first duke of Buckingham. James /.
was wanting a private secretary, and
when young Villiers applied for the po-
sition the king was much impressed
with the beauty of his person and the
gracefulness of his manners. He gave
him the place, ard that was the begin
ming of great career. From that time
to the end of James reign the history
Of England was in great part the per-
sonal history of George Villiers, the adj
venturer-frst the cupbearer, in a few
weeks knighted, then made gentle
man Of the bedchamber and knight of
the Order of the Garter; then success
sively he was made baron, a wis.,
count, an earl, marquis and lord high
admiral Of England.

Tha Library of the Bible.

The Bible is not a book, but a IL
brary-perhaps l should rather say
literature 1t is composed OF sixty-six
different books, written by between
forty and fifty different authors-writ-
ten centuries apart, in different Ian
guages, to different peoples for differ
ent purposes, In different literary
forms. 1t is the selected literature of
fifteen centuries. 1t includes law, his
tory, poetry, fiction, biography and
philosophy. It is to be read as a lit
erature, judged as a literature. One
may therefore reject book from this
collection of literature and yet believe
in the literature. 1t is not like paint
ing which either is or Is not the work
Of one master. 1t is gallery of paint
ings, In which some works may be
originals and others copies.-Lyman
Abbott.

Qnaer Names of Flowers.

The names of some of our prettiest
flowers are so queer that they seem
amusing to us. Nasturtium, for exam
pie, comes from the Latin word mean,
ing twisted nose" Verbena is from
the Latin for "twig," and lavender Is
derived from the Latin word lavare, to
wash, and is really the same word as
laundry" Lavender probably got its
name because it is put away with new
~ washed clothes.
Cornflower undoubtedly gets it's
name because it grows among the rows
of corn. Goldilocks looks like a little
yellow head. Honeysuckle is one of
the sweetest blossoms and one of the
easiest from which bees get their
honey.
Anemone is our wind flower" Its
name comes from the Latin word
anemos, which means wind" and the
anemone is really wind flower. grow
ing best In exposed, windy places.
Orchid is named for the Greek word
orchis. which means bag" Orchids
always have curious little bags.-Kan-
sas City Star.

BUYS TRACT OF PINE
John Week Lumber Co. Secures Bestul
Tract With 100000 Feet Near lola.

The John Week Lumber Co. has
purchased the Bestul tract of white
pine in the town of Helvetia five miles
east of lola and plans to log about
half the timber this winter. The
land includes 24O acres with about
100000 feet of timber and is the
last large tract of white pine in that
section. 1t was purchased of Ole J..
Bestul and the purchase price stated
in the deed was $4,000.
No contracts have been let as yet
and no arrangements for the logging
completed. The logs will be hauled
to lola and shipped from that point
over the Green Bay & Western Ry. to
Stevens Point for saving in the local
mill of the Stevens Point
Journal.

Snubbed the Composer.

Gustav Mailer had queer expert
ence in Munich one day for which his
name was partly responsible. His new
symphony was being rehearsed, and he
took advantage of an hours intermis-
sion to get some fresh air. "On return
ing to the building" says a Munich pa
per, "he lost his way and tried to
reach the hall through corridor in
which plasterers were at work You
cannot pass through here he was told.
But / am Mailer (Iahler is the Ger
man for painter.) You look it, was
the unsympathetic reply Of the man
who blocked his way. we are not
ready for the painters yet, so run on
And the composer, realizing that argu-
ment would be useless, plunged into
the labyrinth and finally reached his
destination"

Crocodile Tears

The expression crocodile tears" can
be found in almost every European
language, but it is doubtful If one In
thousand of those who use it has
an idea of its origin. We are told In
the Bestiary of Guillaume lie Clerc that
when the crocodile finds an unwary
traveller it devours him, but atterward
weeps over him all the rest of its life
This is very evidently the allusion In
"Othello," Each drop she falls would
prove crocodile"
There is another version of the fable
however. which is more often referred
to In literature and according to which
the crocodile sheds tears In order to
allure the traveller to destruction.
Shakespeare alludes to this In the pas
sage where he tells how
The mournful crocodile
with sorrow snares relenting passengers

Harvest From One Ad.

Do you know what vas the largest
harvest ever reaped from an adver-
tfsement?
1t was the settlement In Pennsylva-
MIA of 100000 German colonists at
Germantown, which was the first Ger
man settlement in America. We also
know that in fifty years double that
many thousand Germans came to Will
liam PENIS colony.
Furthermore, history tells US that
wars and religious prosecutions In
Germany caused this then unparal-
leled exodus of men and women.
