MOST POWERFUL OF DRUGS
Of Course 1t Is Contagious, But 1t
May Be Taken Often and in
Any Quantity.

The most powerful drug of all and
one whose potentcy and habit-forming
tendency gives it the highest value, is
happiness. This may be taken as
often as it can be obtained and in any
quantity. 1t is highly contagious and
can be relied on to spread through any
number of people the moment it is
really started. There are forms of it
without number and all of them help.
Some people, however, distrust even
this wonderful discovery, remarks the
Christian Register, saying that it is
too good to be true. They are the
people who think no medicine can be
good for much unless it is bitter. 1t
is hard to make happiness effective
among these people, because their trou-
BILE is ancestral. The puritans so often
made virtue hateful and goodness SOM
Der and put so much of their religion
into their harshness that wherever
there is puritan blood any dose of hap
piness hardly gets assimilated. But
cleverly managed and disguised with
wholesome additions of duty or dis
traction, happiness may almost always
be administered. It is most powerful
in its effects upon the giver. having a
| quality unknown in any other ther-
apeutics of doing more good to the
one who gives it than to the one who
| takes it

ORIGIN OF. POTATO UNKNOWN
Strong Reasons, However, for Belief
That 1t is Native of Mountainous
Districts of America.
THE END.

The question of where the potato is
indigenous and where introduced by
man has never been strictly answered.
1t seems sure, however, that the potato
is native of the mountainous dis
tricts of tropical and Subtropical Amer
lea, from Chile to Mexico, and even as
far north as the southern part of Colo
rado. Data concerning the known use
of the potato for food are not very
definite. 1t probably was first taken
to Europe from Peru by Spaniards
early in the sixteenth century, and
spread from Spain to Holland, Bur
gundy and Italy, though cultivated
only as a curiosity in few gardens
and little known or thought of. In the
Complete Gardener, published in 1719,
it is not mentioned. AS a food it was
first used for pigs and cattle; then,
on account of it's great yield, it was
suggested that it might be useful for
the poor and prevent famine, due to
the failure of the grain crops. AS early
as 1868 the Royal society of London
adopted measures to encourage its cul-
tivatiOn in England. 1t spread quickly
in Ireland, but it was not until the mf1-
die of the eighteenth century that it
acquired any real importance on the
continent of Europe. OF its first cult
vatiOn as crop in North America even
less is known

Uncertainty of Opinion,

Don't be sure of your opinion. It is
the verdict of a few facts and yet
there are thousands of facts that give
no assistance in forming it. If there
were no other proof of the uncertainty
of opinion, the fact that it causes so
much dispute is sufficient. Truth
causes no dispute Think Of two men
quarre!ing over two and two make
four, action and recreation are equal.
water seeks it's own level or the gold
en- rule. Men can love one another on
the platform of truth, but as soon as
they make u platform of opinion they
are at swords points. 1t is SO in re-
ligion, politics, industry, society.
There is no true faith in anything
that is not based on love. When we
see men qunrreling about religion they
are the DEVILS own agents. They will
never get truth that way. Truth
comes through the heart. The three
things that combine in God are faith,
truth, love, and the greatest of these
is love, for without it the other two
are impossible. When it makes you
mad to have someone differ with you,
go off and pray for forgiveness

at once the door was opened by the
maid, Elise. Recognizing Ember, she
smiled and stood aside, making way
for him to enter the small, curtained
lobby.
'Madam-and monsieur" she said
with smiling significance, "told me to
show you in at once, Monsieur EN-
ber."
From behind the curtains, Whita-
ker's voice lifted up impatient!y:
''That you, old man? Come right in |"
Nodding to the maid, Ember thrust
aside the portieres and stepped into
the brightly lighted dressing room,
then paused, bowling and smiling his

Oh, believe me, am fully thanked ~
Bowing, he touched his lips gently
to both hands, released them with n
little sigh that ended in a contented
chuckle, exchanged a short, firm grasp
with Whitaker, and left them.
Whitaker, following almost immedf-
ately to the gangway, found E:nber
had already left the theater.
For some minutes he wandered TO
and fro in the gangway, pausing now
and again on the borders of the desert
ed stage. There We're but few of the
house staff visible, and those few were
methodically busy with preparations
to close up. Beyond the dismal gutter
of the footlights the auditorium
yawned cavernous and shadowy
peopled only by rows of chairs ghost
ly in their dust-cloths. The street en-
frances were already closed, locked
and dark. On the stage a single clus-
ter stand of electric bulbs made Wis
ible the vast, gloomy dome of the flies
and the whitewaShed walls against
which sections of scenery were stacked
like cards. An electrician in his street
clothes lounged beside the doorkeep-
er'S cubicle, at the stage entrance,
smoking a cigarette and comforting
with the doOrman while subjecting
Whitaker to a curious and antagonis-
tic stare. The muffled rumble of their
voices was the only sound audible,
aside from an occasional racket of
bootheels in the gangways as one actor
after another left his dressing room
and hastened to the street, keen-set
for the clash of gossiping tongues in
| theatrical clubs and restaurants.
| Gradually the building grew more
and more empty and silent, until at
| length Whitaker was left alone with
the shadows and the two employees.
These last betrayed signs of impa-
tience. He himself felt little SYM
pathy for their temper. Women Ger
tainly did take an unconscionable time
to dress! :.
At length he heard them hurrying
along the lower gangway, and turned
to join his wife at the stage entrance.
Elise passed on, burdened with two
heavy handbags, and disappeared into
the rain-washed alleyway. The elec-
trician detached his shoulders from
the wall, ground his cigarette under
heel and lounged over to the switch
board.

FAMED OLD Church

A FEW months ago there was
~ celebrated the one hundred
~ and fiftieth anniversary of the
completion and opening of st.
Pauls chapel in Trinity parish, in the
days when Britain still ruled New
York, and Trinity parish was an in
tegral part of the established church
of England Trinity's first outlying
chapel, built in 1852, and called st.
Georges, stood at the corner of Cliff
and Beel1man streets. It was in No
vember, 1853, that the vestry voted the
erection of a second chapel in the par
ish, to be situated on Broadway, at
the corner of Partition street." now
Fulton, near 1.-The Common" the
meeting place, first for British and
then for American assemblies in the
town. Here George III was denounced
and the Stamp act resisted in fiery
speeches, and here year later Alex
ander Hamilton, at the age of seven
teen, thrilled thousands with his pa
triotic eloquence.
1t may not be generally known that
st. PauPs had originally, besides the
main entrance at the Hudson river
end of the church, north and south
doors, on each side of the church, with
entrance porches. They were subse
quently stoned up and canopied pews
erected in their places. One of these
pews was reserved for President
Washington, the other for the gov
ernor. 1t is said that after Trinity
church was burned and st. PauPs be-
came the principal church Of the city,
the north door was closed first and a
canopied, elevated pew fitted up and
decorated for the kings representative
and viceroy, the governor of the prov
ince.
"The facts" DIR. Morgan Dix said,
(which 1 have gathered show that

London, Feb. 10.-George Washing

Turino, killed in an unwarned German
submarine attack on that vessel Thurs
day, probably was not an American

that first reports apparently were erro-

was a resident of Liverpool, never had
registered as an alien there, and it
was understood he was born in Al
