Sad Memories.

The minister of rural parish being
once sent for to shepherds house to
"christen a wean." big fat hen. was
killed for the christening tea. Like
most shepherds children. those in the
house In question were allowed to run
about half wild, and glowered with
holy fear from behind doors and chests
at the parson, who was observed to
be eating most of the hen. The young
sters no doubt made many sage refiec-
lions on his voracious appetite, but
took care to keep out of his reach. A
month or two after, when the minis
ter was visiting the parish, he came
back to the shepherds cot, and as he
seated himself in an armchair by the
fire number of chickens marched in,
having the run of the house as usual.
The children seemed terrified. but at
length rushed in between the poultry
and the minister, and cried: "Gae
wa. gaze wal"
Then they "whusht' the chickens out
of the house. exclaiming: 'Whish,
whish-run, runl That's the man that
EFT yer mother"-London Tit-Bits.

DIRTY FLOOR WAS GOLD MINE
Man Paid $4,000 for Privilege of Clean
Ing 1t and Made Profit of 5000
on the Deal.

Would you pay $4,000 for the priv
ilege of cleaning a dirty floor? There's
a man in New York who made profit
Of $1,000 by doing that very thing.
Some months ago manufacturing
jeweler on Pearl street decided that
twenty-five years was long enough for
any sane man to work, and at once
set about the business of retiring.
Among his assets was listed the priv
ilege of sweeping the floor of his fac
tory. and he called for bidders.
One offered $1,000. which was re-
fused with open amusement; another
bid $500 and was turned down, and
then third, after carefully appraising
the floor, ceiling and walls, concluded
to take long chance. and bid $4,000.
First the bidder had the floor cleaned
carefully. Then q carpenter was called
in. The floor boards were taken up,
and after the sweepings that had piled
up under them had been carefully col
lected new boards were put down. The
old boards were planed off, and the
shavings. together with the sweepings
and the dust from the ceiling and
walls, were burned.
Here stepped in the modern alchem-
ist. The ashes were turned over to
him, and through secret process Of
his own he recovered enough gold. sill
yer and platinum to net the successful
bidder cash profit of $1,000.

WHY THOSE BELLsg

Some time ago this paper took up,
editorially. the question of why bells
are used on horses drawing ice
wagons?
: Nobody seems 10 have paid any at
tention TO the matter. and the horses
still have the bell attachment These
bells jingle noisily with no seeming
object or purpose in view. and are a
disturbing element at early hours Of
morn when many tired workers, dis
turbed throughout the night by the
running OF automobiles. wagons with
straw riders. screams of young boys
and girls who perambulate the streets
az all hours OF night, add TO the mis-
cry OF the restless sleeper who might
snatch an hour or two Of early morn
compensate for the loss OF the
nights sleep.
Ii bells on ice wagon horses made
the ice go any farther or last any
longer. il might be different But
they don't They are more or less of
nuisance and belong TO period of
long ago when garbage cart horses
had bells. as we'll
Let's dismantle the ice wagon
horses of their bells. needless att
tachment for whic there is neither
rhyme nor reason.

WOMEN ARE WATER CARRIERS
Story Of Jacob and Rachel Is Declared
TO Be Transcript Of the
Arab Life Of Today.

In the East. where water Is scarce.
a village generally grows up near a
well or fountain. Abraham's servant
asked for water to drink, Rebekah
made haste and let down her pitcher
from her shoulder and said, drink,
and ] viii give thy camel drink also"
A similar request would be made now
and a similar answer would be given
though q modern young lady of the
country might for your camels or
horses put water into the trough-an
article always found near wells. and
frequently made of stone.
Canon Tristram once asked for a
drink from an Arab girl who had a
water jar on her shoulder. She set II
down for his use. and would not nc
cept any gratuity. Tears filled her
eyes, and she said that she gave the
water freely for the love of God and
for the sake of her mother. who had
died lately.
Rebekah carried her "balass," or
water jar. on her shoulder. A modern
Syrian woman does this. but an Egyp-
ton carries IL on her head.
The boys and girls of Bedouin life
still meet at wells, The story of
Jacob and Rachel is. even in minute
details. transcript of the Arab life of
today. Evening is called now, as ii
was 1000 years ago. 'the time that
women go out TO draw water"
A person going 10 an Eastern well
brings leather bucket and rope
with which to lower ii. This is one of
the utensils necessary for an Eastern
journey.

A FITTING FAREWELL TO OUR
SOLDIER BOYS.

II was happy thought that prompt
ed so fitting farewell to our soldier
boys as that given them Sunday and
Monday nights by the Mems Bible
Glass of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church.
Both occasions were frought with
pleasantness that will be garnered in
the memory OF the participants for
long years to come. First, there was
the religious service. in which the
soldier boys were made to feel the
omnipresence. omnipotence and om-
niscience of Him Who rules over all
the land and sea, in Whose hands is
our keeping.
Next came the thought of material
things. coupled with spiritual. and
feast OF good things was provided by
the Mems Bible Glass for the leave
taking soldier boys of the local unit
now in Federal service, about TO
leave home for training camp far
Their South.
The men in khaki can never forget
the delightful evening they enjoyed
as guests OF the spread given them by
the Mems Bible Glass in the Armory
Monday night. The hosts entertained
in right royal style, and there was "a
feast of reason and flow of soul"
The kind words said by the beloved
pastor. Rev. H. w. Burgan, viii never
be forgotten and his admonition and
prayers viii float as an incense over
the lives OF these young men. whether
in the trenches or on the sea. or
wherever they may be. The goodly
influence OF the church and the Mems
Bible Glass must follow the men in
khaki wherever they go. for each
man has been deeply impressed with
the thought that there is bond of
sympathy between them and those
they leave behind.
