Fortunes in Bibles.

Eccentric people often conceal sums
of money in the family Bible, where it
is discovered, sometimes by chance,
after their death.
Such an incident occurred In Paris.
A French Poilu returned home from
the front to find that his father had
just died. He had left him nothing in
his will, only the family Bible. Closer
inspection revealed between its pages
securities to the value of $4,000!
A few years ago a young nobleman
who was in financial difficulties had oc-
casion to refer to the family Bible for
a date there recorded. In so doing ne
came across a number of Bank OF Eng
land notes, amounting collectively to
a considerable sum, which more than
met his liabilities. Then he recalled
his mothers dying words that Help
might be found in the Bible when all
other sources failed" But he had paid
small heed to the injunction, and GER
tainly never dreamed of 80 practical a
fulfillment of her words.

Qualities Of Leadership.

The real fulcrum of life problems is
within the man himself. It's what
folks call ability. It's not glibness, SUI
perficial sickness or any power of
pull. It's just a definite consciousness
of ability and that ability put to work.
With some folks habit plays an i'm
pOrtant part. They learn to do things
by rote. AS long as requirements fol-
low the routine they make good
showing. But when the unexpected
turns up they are at sea. They rep
resent a certain type of ability, but
not the best. Men seeking help of the
highest grade want men of hrains in
itiative and resources. They want men
that are unabashed before calamities.
They want men that do not have to
wait for orders, but who know what to
do in emergency and are not afraid to
assume the responsibility for their ac-
ton. Such men are conscious of being
leaders and ask only for opportunity
to show what they can do.

idea of the multiplicity of mission

carqoyIes of Notre Dame.

Visitors to the Notre Dame cathe-
dral in Paris are more apt to remem-
Der the gargoyles ornamenting the ex-
terror of the building than the wonder
full galleries and arches inside. In fact,
they are apt to remember them when
waking in the middle of the night or
just after turning off the electric
lights. They are lobster supper night

days. They gaze down from grotesque
postures, grimacing with delight at
their victims.
One peculiarly awful creature perch

appears to be a baby gargoyle, chewing

his eyes wander over the city with a
dreamy, contented, faraway gaze quite
horrible to behold.

The Universal Art.

1t seems to me that teaching is the
greatest of the arts, and that every one
of US, no matter what his walk of life
may be, is engaged willy-nilly for a
good part of his time in teaching. Sure
ly every father and mother is engaged
in it /; and am persuaded that the vast
majority of children address them
selves to the problem of teaching their
parents that the life Of their day is
wholly incompatible with the methods
of a generation past. The master who
learns how to handle men is taught by
the men he handles. The senator and
congressman in the throes of their elo-
quence are endeavoring to teach their
honorable colleagues what they take
to be wisdom, and their constituents
they endeavor to tell of their impassion-
ed patriotism. Whenever we endeavor
to persuade anyone to do as we want
him to do, we try to teach him. Teach
ing is the universal art, and the great
est Of them all.-Ellwood Hendrick, in
the Atlantic.

To look mad and growl is almost as
bad as swearing. In fact, if one anu
lyzes the two, he will not find any diff
ference between them. Profanity Ia
only an expression of the state of
mind. OF course, there is some diff
ference in the character and form of
the expression but they all mean the
same thing. We speak of this because
the world notes the mental attitude
and regards 1t the same as profanity,
and imputes this fault to the man who
wears growl, remarks Ohio State
Journal. And so a religious man who
looks mad and growls depreciates his
relation as member of church and
reflects upon the church, too. There is
unhappily a good deal of this going on
and it is all in violation of Scripturai
teaching. We must learn the differ
ence between earnestness and petu-
lance and observe the difference In
conduct or we injure the cause we are
engaged In. There is no room for Ill
temper in noble enterprise even If
that ill-.emper does not break out in
epithet and wicked language.

Just then the young mans eyes
shifted, and for the first time he saw
Hester. There was a slight start in
his manner, and Hester somehow be-
came aware that she had fiaxen hair
and that she certainly did not look
like a show girl. The young heir to
the Pope millions lowered his voice
and drew the young man he was talk
ing to aside. Hester would have fol-
lowed them to hear their conversation,
but it was obviously impossible. How
ever, she still stood there by the white
fence drinking in the beauty of the
color, and waiting to hear what she
might when the young man returned
to the fence. III
1t was only a few minutes later
when young Vernon returned, and,
coming very respectfully to her,
asked her with considerable embar-
rassment if she would be willing to
be the Dutch girl She was just the
type. he said, and if she didn't need
the money she could contribute it to
the Red Cross He said that he was
very anxious to have some one by the
next afternoon-Saturday, because his
father was coming in to see the show
for the first time, and he had so
wanted a Dutch girl in the cottage.
Hester thought a minute. Saturday
afternoon was half holiday. She
could give notice" the first thing in
the morning. She was only a cog in
the wheel at her Office; another girl
would do as well as she on Monday
morning For whole week she could
spend her days there in that wonder
full tulip garden. She accepted, and
before long she found herself alone in
a little dressing room DOMINIC the
Dutch peasant costume that was APP
parently made just to fit her small.
plump figure.
OF course, the young man fell in
love with her, and, of course, when at |
the end of the week he told her so.
Hester, who was very strict princi-
pied little girl, was as troubled as she |
had ever been In her life before. She
really did like him; she felt that she I
could not let him go. Still
"But, what about that beautiful 7
dancing lady you eloped withY' she
asked him naively. And the young
man laughed and laid his hands on her I
shoulders tenderly. They were inside I

before the afternoon session of the I
exhibition began.

First Use Of Chimney.

During the Middle Ages the princi-
pal advance made in heating was made
through the introduction of chimneys
into private dwellings. They were first
introduced into, France In the eighth
century, but were rare and did not
come into common use until several
hundred years later. In Poland during
the early part of the modern period
houses We're heated in winter by means
of q kiln built into the room, but which
was fired from the outside. In order
to keep warm the family slept not only
around the sides of the kiln but also
on top of it.

contented laborer, putting placidly at
pipe, dlnner-pail on his arm, hurry
ing home to loving wife and cheerful
fireplace. Earl was drifting to sleep
when he heard Stevens remark philo-
sophically:
He'd better have kept the girl and
enjoyed peace of mind than to have all
the wealth of all the kingdoms of the
earth. You can bet if / had a reg'lar
girl who cared for me I wouldn't be
chasin' nuggets. Not me-"
"Good nightr' said Earl.
Good night" Stevens responded,
with less emphasis, failing to catch the
hidden significance in his companions
expression.
Back in Gemport a dark-eyed girl
tossed restlessly in bed, her brain
racked by fitful fever that would not
permit sleep to come. At last she got
out of bed and went to the window,
, which faced the north. The aurora
borealis was fiittering phantomlike
across the sky, presenting to her
minds eye picture of icebergs heav-
ing and tossing, surging back and
forth, as restless as her own soul.
A cool breeze swept in through the
window and enveloped her in draft,
but she did not notice it. Standing
there with her eyes fixed on the arch
OF oscillating ghost-columns of light
she stretched out her arms to the north
and issued a silent, soul-inspired call
to the man she loved.
Up where those phantom armies
moved, the man heard the call. While
he slept his lips formed the name.
"Elsie," and smile wreathed his face.
Her picture formed in his mind, but it
fingered only a moment. Then his
thoughts ran rampant. and dream
fantasy caught him and whisked him
about like chip in a whirlpool. He
gripped something, he knew not what,
and succeeded in steadying himself.
He found that he was in a theater
watching a screen play, in which
laborer with dinner-pail and tall,
expensiyely-garbed man, carrying a
cane on his arm and a sardonic ex-
preston on his face, were the leading
characters. The play ended when the
labOrer saddled and bridled Caldwell
Hurst and rode the latter toward a
deep canyon, applying a whip merci-
lessly. At the edge Of the precipice
the laborer suddenly leaped from his
mount and steadied himself on the
brink, while the spender galloped into
space and dropped into the abyss.
Early in the morning Earl and his
friend dressed and went down to the
lobby.
"What'll you smoker Stevens sug-
gested, as they stood before cigar

tobacco" said Earl.
Stevens took an expensive cigar and
both lighted from the same match.
Earl drew slowly on the pipe, think
ing hard.
"Say, Ed" he finally remarked, ais
that John Pierce where you can reach
him?"
Stephens teeth wrenched some to-
bacco from the end of cigar, and he
spat in a cuspidor.
''Why, yes," he replied, arching his
eyebrows. "Why?"

liberately, you'd better see him and

THREE YEAR old CHILD
DIES SUDDENLY IN STORE
Three Yenr Old Daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Fry, of COyednlc,
Dies In Cabin Greek Store
Had Suffered From
Heart Trouble.

Irene, the three year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Fry, OF Cove
dale. Lewis county, died very sudden
Iy in the Charles Fry store on Cabin
Creek Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. Fry and their little
daughter had left their home at Cove
dale in their automobile on their way
to visit a friend and before they had
reached their destination, the little
girl asked that her parents purchase
her some cages at the next store. The
automobile was stopped and the cakes
purchased. Shortly after the little
girl had tasted of the cakes she be-
came violently i'll and was carried in
to the store.
Physicians were called but in a
very lew minutes and before their ar
rival the little girl had died,
1t was at first thought tue little
girl rad been poisoned but it was later
learned that she had been subject to
spells with her heart and it was fully
established that this was the cause OF
her death and the eating of the cakes
had nothing to do with it.

ITALIAN ALLIES To
Be HONORED ON
COLUMBUS DAY
Mayor Russell Appoints Committee to
Arrange For Great Celebration
October 18th.

Mayor Russell is in receipt of n
communication from Douglas L. Dun
bar, Secretary of the Committee on
National Tribute to Italians request
ing the cooperation of the citizens of
the city in celebrating Columbus Day
October 18th in honor of our Italian
Allies.
Mr. Dunbar in his communication
says: aside from the sympathetic
relations which exist between Italy
and America as faithful allies in the
great struggle against the brutal Teu-
ton domination, our people have a
special interest in cultivating friend
ship with "The Crowned Republic" as
Italy has been called. Our large Ital-
ian population can be impressed by
American ideas through our generous
appreciation of the great part their
country is taking in the war We are
fighting with Italy upon her soil but
we owe it also to Italy to give her at
this critical moment, when German
intrigue is still at work. both there
and here, the valuable support of our
admiration and goodwill.
"In view of the fact. the joint Com
mittee of the Italy American Society
and of the Italian War Relief Fund of
America are hoping that the 18th of
October columbus Day. will be made
the occasion of a nationwide tribute
to Italy.
I'VE venture to suggest to your
Honor the immediate formation of a
representative local committee OF
leading citizens, TO arrange mass
meeting and other ceremonies OBJ
viously, it would be well to invite the
cooperation of Italian citizens.
May we suggest that by reason OF
the scarcity of the flags of Italy il

on her colors of red, white and green
The use of the Italian hymns - tho
Royal March, the Garibaldi Hymn and
the Hymn of Mameli C"Brothers OF
Italy') is recommended. The first is
preeminently the national anthem. tC
which Italians rise.
Acting upon the suggestion that &
committee of representative citizenG
be appointed to plan this meetn-

AS this celebration falls on a Sat
urday, it is likely that the committe,
will arrange a public mass meeting il
the Opera, House with some nationa
speaker and the Community Chorus
on the program at the afternoon meet
ing. The committee will meet in th
next few days and formulate the plan
for the celebration.
