But the boys came, both together,
and the family group set out together.
Carol and ~Hartley-one of her high
school admirers-led off by running a
race down the parsonage walk. And
Lark, old, worn and grave, brought up
the rear with Jim Forrest. Jim was
a favorite attendant of the twins. He
had been graduated from high school
the year previous, and was finishing
off at the agricultural college in Ames.
But Ames was not far from home, and
he was still frequently on hand to
squire the twins when squires were in
demand.
For this brOad-minded devotion the
twins gave him a deep-seated gratitude
and affection and he always stood high
in their favor.
"Are you scared, Lark" he asked
her as they walked slowly down the
street toward the church.
I'm not scared, JIM" she answered
solemnly, "but I'm perfectly cavern

Lark gazed at him with limpid trou-
bled eyes. 81 can't figure out, either. 1
don't know why l did. 1t was a mis-
take, some way"
At the church, which was gratifying
ly crowded with Sunday school enthu-
siasts, the twins forsook their friends
and slipped along the side aisle to the
dressing room"-commonly utilized
as the storeroom for worn-out song
books, Bibles and lesson sheets. There

We are even going to have supper out

"For among the presents Santa Claus
had brought to Ella were a fine set of
dishes. They were pink and white and
there were six cups and saucers, six
little plates, a teapot, sugar bowl and
cream jug. 1t was really a very com
plete set.
"They had thin bread and butter,
hot chocolate with whipped cream and
a cake which Elias mother called a
New Years cake. It was pink and
white on the top with pink sugared
trimmings on the white frOsting.
"In the center of the cake was one
pink candle for Elias mother said it
would be quite impossible to have a
candle for the number of years there
had been, and too, 1t would be nice TO
have a new way and just consider the
year q day old.
"After the cake had almost entirely
been eaten they played house. Each
little girl took a corner of the room as
her house and fixed it up with some
of Elias things. They all had their
own dolls and many of their other
toys so they really felt quite at home!
''Then they began calling On each
other, dressing up in shawls and old
hats which Elias mother let them use.
After awhile they heard a %flutter, tiut-

The Chinese Taxicab,

We are assured that the taxicab is
no new thing, being, in its general
principles, thing known to the an
cient Romans; but now an orientallst

chanical carts capable of registering
distances travelled by counting and
recording the revolutions of very large
cartwheels connected by cogs with 9TH
err concentrlc or eccentric horizontal
and perpendicular wheels of proper
Tomato dlameters, have been well
known to the Chinese for LOO or 1900
years. On top Of the cart was the
figure of man holding drum, which
he beat when one Ii, a third of a mile,

dition, a figure holding cymbal,

been beaten ten times.

Light Measuring.

The candle power of two sources Of
light cannot be compared by looking
ut the lamps themselves. The color
of light and the intensity are very de-
celving to the eye.
The following is a simple method Of
comparing illuminating values:
IAN extremely simple light measur-
ing device, or photometer, can be i'm
provised by placing a sheet of paper so
that the light from two lamps fall on it
at the same angle and then holding a
pencil or other small opaque object at
little distance from the paper so that
1t casts two shadows side by side.
"If the lamps are equally distant,
the one Of higher candle power will
cast the darker shadow; If the paper Is
moved so as to make the shadows
equally dark, the more distant lamp
Is the more powerful In proportion to
the square of the nces."-Electric

is OLDEST CHRISTIAN NATION
Abyssinia's Claim to the Title Found.
ed on Technicality Entitled
to Credence.

Abyssinla claims to be the oldest
Christian nation.
The claim seems founded on tech
nicality entitled to credence, but
which has not accomplished much for
Christianity In the last nineteen hun
dred years.
Rulers Of Abyssinia are proud of de-
scent from the queen of Sheba and
from Solomon as the result of the for
mer's visit to Jerusalem. AS Solomon
had many wives and an immense
harem he may have married the
queen of Sheba, but there is no testi-
mony to the fact other than the tradl-
ton In Abyssinia, which was the an-
cient Sheba, with which the Jews had
a large commerce. The country was
Chrlstianized through monks from
Egypt, and II is said that one of the
kings in the second century declared
Christianity the official religion. thus
antedating all other nations. The mat-
ter Is really of only academic import
ance.
We are apt to think of the Abyssn-
ians as heather negroes stepped In the
deepest barbarism. On the contrary,
they are rather virile people, as all
who have attacked them know. They
have civilization that is suited to
their environment and while 1t may
not be up to the standard of splendor
which the queen of Sheba is supposed
to have maintained, 1t Is comfortable
enough for those who live there. In
recent years many explorers have
found much TO surprise them, and 1t is
within the memory Of this generation
that Italy made an unsuccessful at
tempt to seize the country.

PUZZLES THAT KILL TIME

and Presidency Of the
Other Fellow.

Now and then you see a man so
patient that he even can sit down and
wait his turn to try to work puzzle.
No, well take that back; there isn't
any such man. When some fellow who
ought to be ut work pulls three rings
out OF his pocket and invites some
body to do something or another with
them, all hands want the rings at the
same time. The dull fellow who gets
them first can't do the trick, but he
hasn't sense enough to give up and let
you have them. You ask him to let
you try it, but the stubborn fool works
away. Finally he gives 1t up. You
reach for the rings, but another fellow
grabs them. OF course, he is too stupid
to do anything with them, but
he holds to them as II they were his
child.
At last you get them. You have
had them hardly ten minutes when an
impudent whelp reaches over and
catches hold of them. It looks as II he
Is going to try to take them away from
you. After you give 1t up, several
others fail on 1t. When the rush is
over, no one in the crowd would give
two cents to know how the trick is
done, and the fellow who owns the
rings puts them in his pocket and goes
on about his loafing.

Popular Commissioner Of Neighbour
Ing County Makes Visit to
Logan.

Bishop S. c. Parkinson Of Frank
lin, one of Franklin County's popular
commissioners spent the latter part
OF last week in Logan, coming down
in a sleigh with his wife to celebrate
his birthday and visit with relatives
and friends. The bishop was in
happy mood. and his wife shared
with him the joy and happiness Incl
dent to birthday celebrations.
He reports the people of Franklin
very short of feed for live stock, due
to the extreme cold and long winter.
however but very few cattle have
died, as the people have been care
full in feeding. and are in hopes Of
having enough feed to carry them
safely until spring.
Franklin has been favored with a
number OF the very best road shows
during the winter which have added
much to the social life of the COM
munity. All the players have spok-
en- highly of the new opera house.
and assure the people that 1t alone
will be the means of bringing all the
best shows to Franklin.
When asked about conditions in
the county, and what the commits
sioners had in mind for the coming
year, the bishop replied that in the
first place they would try to live
within their means, and make every
dollar produce dollars's worth Of
service. Road building seemed to be
on his mind and the coming season
may see some big improvements in
that line in our neighboring county
on the north.

CLUB FAVORS
PURCHASE OF
LIBRARY SITE
Recommendation made that Logan
City Purchase County Grounds
for Public Structure.

Readers of this paper will recall
the beautiful picture in Thursdays
issue, showing a drawing Of the pro-
posed plan of working over the
county court house grounds, making
one large central building, the court
house in the center and the two
wings to be a public library and a
city hall, respectively.
At the regular monthly meeting
Of the Commercial Club held Friday
evening the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas the Commercial-Boost-
ers Club took the initiative about a
year ago in securing a public library
for Logan City, and
Whereas the City Commissioners
in response to this movement on the
part of this Club appointed. in ac-
cordance with law. library board OF
nine members, and
Whereas the members of this
board after considering the various
available sites for a public library
are unanimously agreed that the
northeast corner of the Court house
grounds is the most desirable to be
had, and
Whereas the County Commission
ers have asked for an expression of
opinion from this Club regarding the
desirability of this site before same
is offered for sale.
Now therefore be 1t resolved that
1t is the opinion of this club that the
best interests of the general public
would be served by the sale Of this
ground by Cache County to Logan
City for public library Site"
