The Lucky Horseshoe.

Writing of the horseshoe as q safe
guard against witches, John Aubrey,
the famous English antiquary, says
that in the seventeenth century most
of the houses in the West end of Lon
don were protected against witches
and evil spirits by having horseshoes
fastened to them in various ways. It
was the belief that then no witch or
evil genius could cross the threshold
that was protected by the shoe.
The custom of mailing horseshoes,
for luck, to all kinds of sailing craft
was practiced to protect the lives Of
Of sailors down to comparatively re-
cent times. Many people, who hold
to old superstitions. consider it for
tunate to find a horseshoe, the good
luck being increased by the number
of nails attached to the shoe when
1t is picked up. This superstition can
be traced back to about the middle of
the seventeenth century, when it is
lost in obScurity.

SWinQ of the Job,

If you let yourself go with the swing
of a job, your mind can't be worrying
about the job you have to do next. 1t
is just free for the labor at hand.
The woman who, as she kneads
bread, stiffens her muscles unnecessar-
lily for the task, sighs at her work,
or wears brow furrowed with anxious
thought, is not in the swing of bread
making, and her nervous system is CO.
ing to pay for her not being so. While
if she lets her whole body move easily
to the work and keeps her mind clear
for it she will accomplish the task
without WEAKNESS.

Flower Names

1t is interesting to know how GER
tain flowers got their names. Many
were named after individuals. For
instance, fuchsias were so called after
Leonard Fuchs. Dahlias were named
from Andre Dahl, who brought them
from Peru.
The camellia was so called from a
missionary named Kamel, who brought
some magnificent specimens of the
flower to France from Japan. He
called it the Rose of Japan, but his
friends changed it to camellia.
Magnolias were named in honor of
Prof. Magnol de Montpelier, who first
brought the beautiful trees to France
from America and Asia.
The Latin word for ''to wash" is
1avare," and lavender received its
name because the Romans put the
flowers into the water they used for
washing to perfume their hands,
Stray Stories.

TIMES CHANGED In KOREA
Government Which Twenty Years Ago
Was Afraid of New Methods Now
Welcomes American Ideas.

Twenty years ago the old Korean
government was so afraid of new ideas
that Korean student in the Methodist
Episcopal School for Boys in Seoul
was arrested and put into prison. What
was the heinous charge? Simply that
Ee had formed a literary society that
discussed matters of general interest!
But times have changed and Korea
now appreciates American ideas, says
the World Outlook. The imprisoned
boy, named Gym, came to America to
study and later became the efficient
principal of his old boys school in
Seoul. And how the boys discuss cur
rent events nowadays! Mr.. Gym has
since then distinguished himself in
general conference by speech notable
for its thought and its English. He is
just one of the many Korean youths
who have tested Uncle Sans tree Of
knowledge and found it good.

Hard to Please.

A marriage broker was trying to per-
suade a young man to wed a certain
girl.
"The mother-in-law does not suit
me-" said the youth. "She is grabbed
and foolish"
That's true" replied the agent,
'but you are not going to marry the
mother-in-law"
"Yes, but she is no longer young
nor pretty, either"
"That's nothing; if she is not young
or pretty you can trust her all the
more"
"But she hasn't much money" con-
tinued the young man.
"Why talk of money? Are you go
ing to marry money? You want a
wife, don't you?"
But she is a hunchback."
"Well, what of that? Do you expect
her to have no blemishes at all?"

Sonnenstein! That was a private
lunatic asylum!
In a few moments the kaiser had
summoned, by his private telephone,
Koehler, then chief of the Berlin Sc
cret police, and given orders that the
princess be watched in Switzerland.
Half an hour later three police agents
were on their way to Zurich to follow
the poor, distracted woman, even be-
yond the confines of the empire.
She was, no doubt, in deadly fear
of being sent to living tomb, so that
her mouth should be closed forever.
And seeing herself surrounded by enc
mics and spies on every hand-for
even her brother Leopold, with whom
she had Travelled to Switzerland, now
refused to assist her-she adopted the
only method of further escape that at
the moment presented itself.
Alone and without anyone to advise
her, she, as you know, took a desper-
ate resolve, one alas! fraught with
disastrous consequences.
The iron had indeed entered the
pOOr princess soul.
Note by William LeQueux.
The denouement of this base in
| trigue will be best related in her i'm
perial highness' own words. In one

Il saw before me in those never-to-
be-forgotten days all the horrors Of a
'Maison de Sante.' What could 1 do?
I was friendless in a strange hotel.
Even Leopold seemed disinclined to
be further troubled by a runaway sis
ter. I knew Frau Won Frftsch had ac-
cused me falsely of having secret love
affairs, and that the emperor had Ill
rected the whole plot which was to
eliminate in my confinement in an
asylum. Suddenly solution occurred
to me. 1 remembered Monsieur Giron
who had already suffered great
ly through his friendship with me. Il
he joined me, then my flight from
Dresden would be considered as ar
elopement, and l should escape liv
ing death in a madhouse! Monsieur
Giron was at that moment my only
friend, and it was for that reason tina

he joined me, and by doing so complet

INTELLIGENT Alarm Clock.

An alarm clock awakened a lady in
Philadelphia just in time to allow her
to escape from a burning building.
She had set the clock as usual at five
o'clock, but that morning it failed to

down for a nap on the divan. At five
o'clock the alarm clock started its
racket twelve hours late. She awoke

BARNEY OLDFIELD
To MAKE NEW RECORD

The California Speed King who
started on his speedy career right
here in Northwestern Ohio, in little
old Fulton county; in other words, the
one and only Barney Oldfeld, refuses
to go on the retired list or any other
tired" list unless it is an ''auto-tire"
and is out for the biggest stunt of his
life by smashing his previous best
record and creating a three-mile-a
minute class with a specially design
ed and constructed car. Here is what
Barney says about it as taken from a
California newspaper clipping:
'The present speed mark has stood
long enough, and just about the time
the writers begin to send me into re-
tirement 1 am going to give them the
surprise of their lives. Within the
next three months l will be on the
Florida beach"with the greatest speed
creation ever built.
''To mention that Harry Miller,
whom l consider the worlds best
builder of automobile motors, is build
ing the car, should be enough to in
sure it's class. The body will be an
ultra stream-line design and will be
absolutely unsmashable Nothing can
happen to the driver if the machine
capsizes.
"A periscope will enable me to see
ahead, and $50 miles an hour speed
will be the pace she will step"

The Revival Services at the Church
of the Brethren one mile north and
three miles west of Wauseon which
began last Thursday night are pro-
crossing nicely. Interest is growing
and the audience is increasing. Rev.
Wilkins is proving himself to be an
able expounder of Gods word. He pre-
sents the message with power He
breaches straight to the mark with
out shirk or twist. Fearless of any
successful contradiction because he
backs his assertion by the word of
God, "The Bible" Here he tells the
people the means by which they can
be saved and keep saved. Come out
and hear him as the meetings continue
from night to night and you surely
will be benefited for your coming to
these services.

LATEST WAR NEWS

News available at the last moment
before going to press is as follows:
The Senate by a vote of 78 to ap-
proves the Presidents course in Sc
vering diplomatic relations with Ger
many. Open hostilities have not as
yet occurred and Washington has
been hopeful that they would not, but
there are many indications that the
German government intends if pos
sible to force the United States into
the war for the reason that Germany
may escape the dismemberment which
she claims the Allies will force upon
her and which she believes the United
States will oppose. The sinking of the
American Ship Housatonic and the
British owned liner California have
brought Washington very near to the
point of a declaration of war. 1t has
been reported that Ambassador Ger
ard has been held in Berlin as a hos
tage for Ambassador Won Bernstoff.
Our own Government has made no
effort to detain Count Won Bernstein.
A telegram from Representative N.
E. Matthews on Monday of this week
stated that the President pursued the
only course possible last Saturday and
that the situation in Washington was
very serious, the feeling prevailing
that Congress would be called on to
act very soon as to peace or war. A
letter from Mr.. Matthews on Thurs
day gives the assurance that he will
do what he believes to be for the best
interests of the people as a whole in
this emergency.
