STORY TELLING AS AN ART
London Woman Revives Customs of Ancient Days When Tales Were
 Told for Dramatic Interest.

Story telling as it was in ancient days when history and knightly adven- ture, touched with the supernatural, were the inspiration of bards and minstrelS, and when tales were told chiefly for their dramatic interest, is the art of Miss Marie l.. Shedlock of London.
 Stories should be told to children and grOwn-ups alike for tho dramatic interest of them, just as they were told 1000 years ago and are still told on the street corners" says Miss She'd lock. "rhe beauty and dramatic in- terest of the story itself should be set forth simply. not with eloquence or imposing theatrics. Pointing obvious morals to children Is of little avail in teaching them. What impresses them most IS telling them stories of heroes or figures they may admire and allow Ing them to make the comparison be- tween themselves and the characters then will they really be taught the best sort of actions"

RuSS!A'S PEASANT BANKS.

Tn IS months of 'water-wagon' life there have been founded 1S,000 peas ant cooperative banks and 1000 peas ant cooperative supply stations or stores," says Ivan Narodny, secretary of the Russian-American-A cor poration, in the New York Tribune. "These peasant banks are just now forming central administration, d bank of banks, in Moscow, composed of delegates from provincial banks. The government has not yet been able to grasp the whole extent of these pc culiar institutions of the peoplc, both sporadically and suddenly looming up as something gigantic in national economic life. The cash capital of these peasant banks amounts to 500,- 100000 rubles, while the value of their accessories. real estate, securities, etc, reaches l,000,000000."
 Most of the hatred against the Rus sian Jew, he tells us, originated in the lending of money by Jews to peasants. The peasant banks abolish automati- cally all Russian Jewish troubles.
 If the czar had done nothing but abolish alcohol" says the secretary, ''he would loom up in history as one of the great reformers."

Joke on Grandfather.

Seven-year-old Willie sat next to his grandfather at the dinner table and handed him note from the principal of the public school requesting the at tendance of the grandfather at a meet Ing of the Parents and Teachers as- sociation. The old gentleman, who Is fond of a joke, pretended to read as follows. "Dear Sir: Your crop-eared bandy-legged, sniffled-nose boy needs spanking. There are no shingles in this school sufficiently heavy for the purpose. Will you kindly take him into the woodshed and administer n much-needed correction?" Everybody at the table laughed except the young ster. With a perfectly grave face he said. 'Oh, grandfather, l should not have thought that you would preserve all these years note that was writ. ten to your father when you was boy"

Will Lessen Paper Shortaae.

The scarcity of white paper material Is causing the most rigid investigation into the use of spruce wood for pur- poses for which some other material might serve. The United States for est products laboratory at Madison, Wis.,, has lately been experimenting in using cottonwood as a substitute for spruce, poplar and ash for making but ter boxes. Cottonwood, when green. gives off an odor which. it was be- lieved, would be absorbed by the but ter. Tests have been made of boxes constructed of thoroughly seasoned cottonwood. Butter packed in them was set away for week and at the end of that time professional butter graders decided that the butter con- tained no trace of foreign flavor. The Use of cottonwood for food packing will release millions of pounds of wood for paper making each year.

PROVING GOLD BRICKS.

It is authoritatively stated that beer has fallen to fifth or sixth place among the products of the city of Milwaukee. One of the largest brew cries in the city has been offered for sale several times in recent years, with no bidders. Another brewery has sold all its stock to holders in England and Germany. The buyers thought they bought gold mine, whereas they bought gold brick. The prohibition sentiment which has been sweeping the West has made itself felt even in Milwaukee. It Is fact not generally known that one of the largest breweries in that city is using an assumed name. The real owner doesn't want his own name connected with the business.

WISE WORDS.

No temperance advocate in the world has spoken wiser words than those uttered by the German emperor to the naval cadets" said Secretary of the Navy Daniels, speaking before the national convention of the Catho- lie Total Abstinence union. The words referred to, spoken November 2l, 1910, at the dedication of the new naval academy at Murvik, are in the light of the events of the past two years most significant. We quote part of the address:
 ''As you will observe in the course of your time on board, the service in my navy has reached Il degree of strain which can hardly be surpassed. To be able to endure this enormous pressure in time of peace without wear ing out, so that you may be fresh when serious call comes, is your duty The next war; the next naval encoun- ter, will require of you sound nerves These are undermined by alcohol en- dangered from youth up, by it's use. You will later have opportunity to see the marine targets and the ac- ton of modern guns on ships, and will be able, therefore, to infer the con- ditions in battle. You will see hor- rible devastation and all kinds of pie lures. Then the word will be strong nerves and cool heads. The nation which drinks the least alcohol will be the winner"

The Nearest Duty.

Let us, so far as we can. bring wider interests to our little world, There is no more potent charm to ban ish the petty and unworthy from it, Wider interests open the doors into a wider world into which some day we may step. Let us work ceaselessly, patiently. No success we may win in any calling will be worth anything if we have not cultivated the power to keep all around us bright and orderly and attractive, if the light of divine love, and peace, and power, and wis dom does not radiate from us into the world and help and inspire others.- Nancy Freeman.

Had Worked Hard.

Elizabeth. aged four, is very fond of young woman who lives across the street from her grandmother. One Saturday she had coaxed all day to be allowed to go over, but her grand mother said, "No. they are busy over there, and don't want you" Finally, late in the afternoon, member of the family across the street called her to come over and get toy belonging to her. When she was safely in the house she drew a long breath and ex- claimed. Gracious. I've worked hard all day to get ever here!"

"G0OD FELLOWS" OF HISTORY
They Are of Both Sexes and Have Saved World From Being an Ut
 ter Failure, Says Writer.

Good fellows are not limited to one sex. Not by any means. This would he n sorry world if they were. In fact, tbev may be found anywhere, and everywhere, for wherever you hear a cheerful. heartsome song there you will find a good fellow, as surely as there is a partridge where "bob white" is.
 The good fellows have saved the world from proving an utter failure, and whatever there is that is worth having is due to their good offices, and whatsoever of greatness this old world may achieve in ages to come it will owe to the good fellows who belong to the ages.
 Your really good fellow is not q goody-goody chap, too pretty to mingle with the throng. and to fine for every day use. Not he. Being neither sugar nor salt. he will stand deal of rain and storm, and with courage strong he is ever ready for any fray in which the right Is assailed. To him death is n secondary matter when to live would be to play the coward.
 Be of good comfort, Master Rid ley" Latimer cried as the flames crackled around him. "Play the man We shall this day light such candle. by Gods grace. in England as, I trust, shall never be put out. t."-Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.
