a FAITHFUL HORSE.


w%@~i @sVers's Sturdy Stesd FesrIy En-.
titled TO FawA.
Paul ReVere's name was made i'm
Wnertal when be rode from Boston to
Lexington and Concord warning the
DAtEaOts along the way Of the British
apOrOach, and his fame has been Sc
carOly enShr1ned in the hearts Of all
Americans.
Historians have hOnored themselves
IA honoring him. Poets have found in.
SEPARATION In praising him. He Is an
IDOL OF childhood, an example In the
prime OF manhood and a solacing mem
cry OF old age.
How few characters loom up like
great peaks above the mountain ranges
Of time!
And Paul Revere was one Of these
he was one Of the precious few great
enough to grasp an opportunity to dc
an ancalculable good to mankind.
But while we give deserved glory to
Paul Revere let us no longer forget
that there was another hero ia that
WAC midnight ride.
There was the horse,
ANY other horse might have done az
we'll you think? Well, so might any
other man have done as well perhaps,
20 might we fiippantly disparage any
hero.
But the fact remains that it was
Paul Revere and Paul Revere's horse
that did 1t. And the harder work fell
on the horse. But for the true horses
faithfulness Paul Revere would have
been failure.-Christian Herald.

MANsARD's ROOF.
BY " the Architect Wen HE Sens Life
From Leuia XIV.

From Leuia XIV.
The great hall Of the Hotel de Vile
Of Aries, designed by Mansard. is the
wonder and admiration Of every one
who has seen it on account of the
groined roof
In regard to this a neighboring cafe
tier tells somewhat grim story. King
Louis NV. happened to be passing
through the city just at the time Man
sard was experimenting the compile
ton Of his creation. The roof was sup
ported by powerful pillar. The mon
arch admired the work and congratu-
lated the architect on his design. At
that moment the architect was passing
through great domestic tribulatiOn. He
had a son under sentence of death, so
be thought 1t would be a good oppor-
tunity to intercede on behalf Of the
lad.
Mansard threw himself at the feet Of
the king and said: "Your majesty sees
In the center that massive column? If
you will spare the life of my son
will remove the unsightly pillar, and
the roof shall stand without support. -
"Mansard,' replied the king. "if you
accomplish that miracle l will pardon
your son, but If you fail will hang
you with him."
The architect removed the pillar
without great difficulty and with the
result desired. The cafetier is a phi
losopher, and he concludes his story
with the reflection that had not Man
sard's son been a scamp the hall at
Aries would be just like any other hall

Efficient Little Army.
Do you know the definition OF the

4Age over the man in the street is con.
a&dHxable, for the word in itself signi.
Nee large fighting force so completely

what our marine corps is-a fully equip
pea little army, representing infantry,
cavalry, artillery, signal service. engi-
neors, machine gun men, aviators and
hospital service.
The varied nature of the marine s
duties Is reflected in the dress uniform,
Aiw dearly priced blues The trousers
are the color Of the infantryman's but
the stripe is red, like that on the uni
form Of the artillery His coat Is a
dark nautical blue, but If he wears
chevrons on 1t they are yellow, like Il
cavalryman's.. Az an example of cos
naOpolitanism his cap device bears a
relief map of half the globe, An eagle
with outspread wings surmounts the
g2Obe, and a fouled anchor shows ia
the background. To tell q marine at
q glance whatever his uniform or his
rank look on the front of the hat or
the cap for that globe 1t is the distin-
gushing emblem of marine the world

lsorrote Dog Eaters.

During our trip through the Philip
pines we visited the dog market, where
the lgorrotes bought and sold half
starved CANNES with visions Of great
feast off the protruding ribs. The Igor.
rotes are about as much like the cultur-
ed Filipinos as they are like cultured
Americans or cultured japanese. But
the fact that the lgorrotes eat dogs has
done as much to prejudice us against
the Filipinos as has the story that the
Chinese eat rats to tarn us against
the well bred Chinese, who not only do
not eat rats, but even have a distaste
for caviar and limburger. - Maynard
Owen Williams in Christian Herald.

In San Francisco in 1S49 clerks in
stores and Offices had munificent sala-
ries. Five dollars day was the small
est stipend even in the custom house,
and one preacher was paid $4,000 a
year. Laborers received 81 an hour.
A pick or shovel was worth $40 and
butchers knife $50. At one time the
carpenters, who were getting $12 a
day, struck for $1e But it should be
noted that prices were exceedingly high
also.

and offers Of $50 for the leather failed
to interest him enough to part with it.

he received lot of money and cloth
ing. He also was given 500 in stock
in the American Aircraft Corporation.
r. @. Stroms, president of the cor
poration has sent the shares to

passenger on sensational flight that
the noted aviator, Capt William A.
Mattery is to make within a few days

Happy will accept the invitation

ties broke into the contest Sunday and
all played star roles. Felsch, hero OF
Saturdays game, came through again
Sunday, and when the pastime had
been completed and the White Sox
had trimmed the Giants, Z to 2, the
name of Felsch was on every tongue
Felsch is well known here, having
played ball with Milwaukee semi
pro teams here and has since visited
