RetMeen Man and Man.

ConfucianisIn, the prevailing doe Urine of China. is neither religion nor system of transcendental or cos mic philosophy.
 It is an agnostic system of ethics and a system of practical and purely tenn pCral common-sense philosophy which sees no farther than this earth.
 It takes practically no notice what ever of the question of an after life, of eternity, of future rewards and pun ishments. of God.
 It teaches merely that one ought to do good because it is mans duty to do good. Confucianism is entirely con- cerned with the relation between man and man.

toward the world. except when he 5lunk down a side street to avoid meet ing Netta.
 Pudd's Crossing is on the main rail- road line, and lies five miles beneath Lake Lomond, which irrigates the thirsty section by means of a huge dam, back in the mountains. If ever the dam burst engineers, and people with plain ordinary sense as well. de clared that Budd's Crossing would just about have time to know it-no more. All agreed that only those on the rim of the horseshoe round the town in time.
 Budd's Crossing was not worrying about the concrete dam, guaranteed to last three centuries. It was worrying about the bank robberies in neighbor- ing towns. The Cotton gang had held ID the banks of Newboro and Gasthaus in broad daylight. taken out the con tents of the disrupted safes, and rid den on unscathed. Budd's Crossing had prepared for them-at least, the bank had-in the shape of two armed guards who patroled the front of the building and were prepared to shoot upon provocation. Some nervous peo- ole described bank robbers in every stranger.
 Somehow it leaked out thst the Col tons had sent bombastic letter to the president They promised to have the public's deposits by certain day. As Colton aped the so-called romantic leeds of the outlaws, the banks nerves were on the jump when that day iawned
 Nothing happened that morning. It was not till two in the afternoon that Pudd's Crossing got the thrill of it's career. It was Netta Clare who sent the news forth broadcast:
 The dam is breaking. Run for your lives. It will not hold out twenty min 1tes"
 Ort of the business offices, out of i've hundred homes, warned by the uni sersal panic, men and women rushed for the hillside. Some carried babies. some bundles which they discarded. There was but one thought-fiight- Tn Budd's Crossing that afternoon. In ! tour minutes from the moment of the first alarm the town was deserted and he hillsides were black with people trying desperately to reach an eleva- ton safe above the menace of the Hood before it burst upon them
 It would sweep Budd's Crossing away like matchwood, and rush on, . aundred feet high. a sullen. furious

Job for Photoorapher.

"I want yer to take n picture of our Joe here" said the fond parent to the country photographer.
 Joseph was requested to stand in a certain attitude and look towards the photographer. That gentleman's spe- cialty was quick developing, and in short space of time negative was placed in the mothers hand. She looked at it very uneasily for some time, and then remarked:
 "I seen notice in the window there to say you can do photos to custom CTS desire. so I'd be obliged to yer if you could put another face on Joe. You see, it's to be sent with an ad- vertisement which said they wanted a boy, s,nart-looking and honest

 "You'n do no such fool thing" growled Upton again. You don't sup pose that I'm goin' to profit that way. do you? No, sir, I'll tell you what we'll do, Kynaston. We'll play for it. game of whisky poker for three chips. Whoever gets three chips first gives himself up in the morning. What do you say?"
 Fair enough" said Kynas,on. Slightly higher stakes than I'm used to playing for. though" he observed grimly as his host took pack of cards consider the amount of a lieutenant s pay. you'll realize the size of the stakes. Go on; deal, and may God defend the right!'"

THE HOLDUP

 Budd's Crossing was growing into a sizable place. The population had increased twelve thousand, there was an apartment house, and Miller's build ings. containing the new telephone central, with the Bank of North Kan sas opposite. was the picture that familiarized the outside world with Budd's Crossing when seen on post cards.
 There was a picture of Newton park with a couple seated upon a bench, the young mans arm around the girls waist. The young man was unmis- takably Harry Fisher. for the angle of photographic impact showed his pointed. aggressive chin distinctly. The girl. whose back alone was visible. certainly looked like Netta Clare of tho telephone exchange The picture. which was snapped by flashlight. caused q good deal of scandal: and from the fact that the principal fig ures in it both laughed it might have been inferred that they were engaged | to be married
 They were Harry was in the bank, and he could look up and see Netta opposite the switchboard across the street. Netta never looked at him, how ever, being attentive to calls. | How the quarrel started nobody knew. But the first thing known was that Netta and Harry were not on speaking terms. and presently Harry was running after half the girls in town. and holding himself defiantly

Upton sighed contentedly as he select ed a jack from it. When the knock from both men indicated that neither had any further hope of bettering his hand the upflung cards showed pair of aces in Kynaston's hand against four jacks in Uptons.
 The next two hands broke even. Thus the end of the fourth deal found each man with two chips to his credit The sweat was fairly streaming down their faces Both bore unmistakable token of mental strain in the tense lines about the corners of their mouths.
 Once Upton made a misdeal He swore softly.
 Just then the door opened. The two women entered.
 "Oh, daddy" It was Dorothy and her tone was unmistakably relieved. 'I was beginning to be really alarmed about ourselves, but affairs cannot real. ly be serious If you and MT. Kynaston can sit calmly down to a game of | cards"
 She perched herself on the arm of her fathers chair.
 What are you playing for. dad. dy?"
 Just to pass the time. daughter. Run on out, you and Marion. We have been talking over some matters you wouldn't understand" The girl passed her hands loving. ly over the old miners sparse hair. The light in her eyes told Kynaston what the loss of her father would mean to Dorothy. Then suddenly it came to him that he was playing the fourth hand, and that on the upshot of this one hand it depended whether or not that light should dawn again in Dorothy Upton's eyes. He pit his lips till the blood came and ran down. a salty trickle. into his grimly as he flung the fifth card into the widow and settled himself to play his hand.
 Patience and shuttle the cards, as the Spaniards say. Wait a bit, Kynaston." He laid down his hand for a mo- ment and shakingly lit 6 cigarette.
 "Who've you got at home, Kynas. toni"
 Sister. Why? What's that got to | do with it?'' How old are you. son?"
 Twenty-Five. Still, why?"
 An I'm sixty-nve. Did you aim l at that man, Kynaston? As God is ysur judge, answer mel" And straight e . shot came Kynas- tons answer. T aimed e deliberate.

Study of Facts.

The study of facts is an important element in education. Not of unre- lated facts, or even of related facts which make up trivial whole.
 It is essential that some serious sub ject of fairly wide range should be pre- s.nted more or less constantly for a period of at least several years to a mans mind. so that it becomes in a sense his own, before he can rightly be said to have received an "educa- tion."
 The greater and the more humane the subject pro tanto the education, but any really serious subject will serve.
Tombstone epitaph., 1916-07-23
Why Salt Causes Thirst.

Salt has been described as a natural element of the blood in about the same proportion as in the water of the ocean. Under general conditions we do not feel the existence of salt in our bodies because its effect is counteract- ed by due proportion of water.
 When We eat an excessive amount of salt thirst is created by the demand of nature that we also take a propor- donate amount of water and dilute the salt to its proper relative amount. Any food that tends to absorb the moisture of the body will cause thirst for the same reason-that our physical welfare requires . balanced quantity of water.

walls, to wreak havoc, upon the vii lages lower down.
 The telephone exchange was desert cd by the terrified girls. Only one remained. Whitehead. but calm Net ta sat at her post, watching the men ace on the hills above her. She tele phoned necessarily.
 Red Mills, The dam has burst Run for your lives. Dorchester. The dam has burst. The flood will be on you in fifteen minutes. Paintsbury. Durham! Exeter. Labury. The dam has burst"
 She called the last settlement in the valley, and then ran from the ex. change. casting apprehensive glances upward. The dam had still held. The town was empty.
 Only in front of the bank two horses tethered. As she ran past Netta cast an apprehensive glance in through the open door. What she saw nerved her to a realization of what had hap pened.
 Through the open door. and through the plate glass of the cashiers cage. she saw Harry, bound and trussed. seated helplessly, while an armed man stood over Linn and another worked busiiy amid the debris of what had been the banks safe. Upon the coun- ter of the cashiers cage lay Harry's revolver. which he had drawn too late. Immediately Netta sized up the situa- tion. The report was fake. launched by the robbers in the bold design of emptying the town. it mad succeeded admirably. ard, with nobody on hand but Harry, they were safe to work their will
 The backs of the three were toward like a mouse inside the bank. Cau- tiously she stole onward, no sound of her footsteps echoing on the boards. Say, Bill, we chose the day all right" said the man at the safe to his companion, without looking around. There's tons of the stuff in here"
 Hurry up. Ned" answered the oth- CT. We've got to get home before il gets dark" Netta stole onward Now, crouching under the wall of the cage, she was in- visible if any of the bandits should look round. She saw Harry, bound, watching the men out of his half-closed | eyes. The lcok in them told her that ' he had been surprised; there was no trace of fear there, and Netta was ] glad.
 1 Softly her hand crept up and touched ' the revolver. Her fingers closed upon it.
 Hands up," With an oath the man at the safe sprang to his feet. to look into Netta 8 | eyes and throw up his hands obedient. | ly. At the same time the man guard. ing Harry swung round, with his re- volver raised.
 Drop it"
 He dropped it, and saved eternity by a single second. | 'Unfasten him."
 Say, now" protested one Of the | men.
 Il "I count two. One ! Hurriedly Harry was unbound. | Stopping, he seized the revolver of his | former guard.
 March them to Jail. Harry. Tll- | I'll stay here. I think-I think said Netta. and fell weakly across the counter.
 That is the story of the holdup of Budd's Crossing When the townspeo. pie crept back. by twos and threes and driblets. two hours later, they found Harry Fisher guarding two prisoners in the sergeant's office. and Netta at his side And from the look on their faces it was clear that the old mis. understanding had been forgotten. In witness thereof, the massive chest of silver donated by the bank, and the five hnndred dollars from the tele. phone company.
