A Curious Mineral.

Perhaps the most curious mineral
found in the United States is staurol-
tie, otherwise known as the fairy
stone" This is an iron aluminium sill
icate found only in Virginia and North
Carolina, the reddish brown and
brownish black crystals occurring in
we'll defined single and double crosses
There is some commercial demand
for the crosses as curios, which are
worn as watch charms or on chains
in the manner of locket or lavalliere
"a demand perhaps stimulated by the
quaint legend which is told of their
origin; the fairies living in the caves
of the mountains, on hearing the sad
tidings of the death of Christ, fash
toned these crosses as mementoes OF
him.

PARENTS AND PATRONS OF
RIO GRANDE SCHOOL DIST.

The Senior class of the Monte
Vista high school at the solicitation
of the ministerial association has
agreed to handle the Lyceum course
the class realize that it will not be
a money making projec) but are
undertaking it in order to serve the
school and the community. Owing
to the brief time given to the class
for sale of season tickets it will be
necessary for every progressive
member of the community to lend
his support, moral and financial
Every one must know the value
of a lyceum course. 1t is easy to
say to young people You mustn't
do this" and you mustn't do that"
but 1t is n sad fact that most of us
stop here. And why doesn't this
method produce the kind of young
people we want? Simply because we
as citizens do not offer the proper
thing to take the place of the i'm
proper one. Young people as a gen
eral rule prefer the good, but when
1t is not to be had they naturally
choose some kind of amusement
even though questionable.
A lyceum furnishes not only prop
er amusement for our young, and
old people as well, but it brings
leaders OF national reputation to
your community who furnish new
inspiration and high ideals. The
community owes to its young people
all the means of uplift at its COM
mand. They have right to as
many of the opportunities which are
onered to young people of other
communities as it Is possible to give
them. And the price of the course
is reasonable enough so that this

THE BAD PERISHES AND THE
GOOD SURVIVES IN GRIF-
FITH'S BIRTH OF A NATION

That our glorious nation is found
ed on right and justice and will
therefore, always endure, to en-
body to world the soul and con
science of the earth, cannot be more
forcibly demonstrated than in D. w.
Griffiths immense pictorial repro
duction, The Birth of a Nation.
In it "Stoneman," the professed
negro lover" and father of the car
petbag rule in the South, would
wreck and devastato a mighty sec
tion, but his wild political schemes
miscarry and boomerang upon his
luckless head. Lynch, the mulatto
drunk with wine and sudden power
a traitor both to his own and to the
white race, dreamed of a black en-
pire and lily-white empress as his
own, but his devilish ambitions were
founded upon sinking mud instead
of solid rock, and conquering flood
descended upon him, washed them
away Slluueu OUT HIS "TGlCncu
life with them.
The "Clansman," born of a des-
perate and ready need went forth
boldly to rescue their white women
from the ravages of an unlcashed
menace and to deliver their loved
Southland from the hands of the op-
pressor, but when they became
corrupted band of murderers and re-
venge seekers mailed Almighty
hand reached out and clutched them
from the earth. The great and good
man. Abraham Lincoln, met an un-
timely end at the hands of a cruel
assassin, but a swift and ignominious
death soon overlook the latter, while
the former lives in the hearts of his
countrymen and will ever be glori-
fed in history's choicest pages. And
so the great tale unfolds itself, clear
through a national chaos to a perfect
peace and a living argument of right
over might.
