For all oil shares that have any In

ALL MADE EQUAL BY DEATH
No Democracy Ever Conceived 10 at
All Comparable to That OF
the Tomb.

In the democracy of the dead all men
at last are equal. There Is neither
rank nor station nor prerogatiye In the
republic of the grave. At this fatal
threshold the philosopher ceases to be
wise, and the song Of the poet Is 81
lent. Dives relinquishes his millions
and Lazarus his rags. The poor man
Is as rich as the richest, and the rich
man is as poor as the pauper. The
creditor loses his usury and the debtor
is acquitted of his obligation. There
the proud man ~surrenders his dlgni-
ties, the politician his honors, the
wording his pleasures; the invalid
needs no physician, and the laborer
rests from unrequited toll.
Here, at last. IS natures final de
cree In equity. The wrongs Of time
are redressed. Injustice is expiated.
the irony of fate is refuted; the I'M
equal distribution Of wealth, honor. ca
pacity, pleasure and opportunity which
makes life such a cruel and inexplic-
able tragedy, ceases In the realm of
death. The strongest there has no SUI
premacy, and the weakest needs no
defense. The mightiest captain sue
cumbs TO that invincible adversary
who disarms alike the victor and the
vanquished.-John J.. Ingalls,.

Mr.. 5Ilnklnton Claims That by its Aid
He Has Been Saved Much
sf .Time and Worry.

what I used to do when I put any
thing away" said Mr.. Blinkinton. "was
to bestow it with great care In some
place where I would know just where
to find 1t, and then I would forget 1t
completely. More than onc when I
have wanted something that I had thus
carefully put away I have had to tear
the house apart to find 1t.
$50 1t was until I evolved my Things
Put Away book which has proved to
be a great help and comfort.
"Now when I put anything away 1
first enter 1t In that book, which is, Of
course, indexed. so that / won't have to
look through a long list Of things when
I want to find anything.
"Once soon after / started the book
I put that away somewhere very care
fully and then forgot where / had put
IT and had a terrible time looking 1t
up; but since then I have kept 1t In a
spot where 1t can't fail to come under
my eye daily; and it works like a
charm.
Really I should say that for any
body who like myself is apt to forget
things a Things Put Away book would
be Indispensable"

FILM SPREAD OVER WATER
Thin Sheet on Surface Has Properties
That Are Very Like Those OF
India Rubber.

It seems not to be generally under
stood that the surface of all water is
covered by q Aim OF the water itself,
which In it's action is not unlike b q
of a thin sheet of india rubber, says
Edward Bigelow. the scout naturalist.
In Boys Life. To comprehend this
one must imagine the rubber to be SO
thin as to be transparent. The surface
of the water itself Is elastic and under
tension, so that a needle. though heav-
Ter than the water. may be fioated on
the surface.
Several interesting experiments may
be made with the elasticity of this
film. One of the best is to place two
slender splinters of wood side by side
on the water. Now drop a little alco-
hol between the splinters. This aico-
hol will Immediately break the surf
ace film between the splinters, and
the pulling force of the remaining film,
since there Is nothing between them
to hold them, will cause the splinters
instantly to fly apart
Another interesting experiment Is to
whittle a thin, slender splinter. pointed
at one end somewhat like a boat. Place
a tiny bit Of gum camphor on the rear
of this splinter and the gum will de-
stroy the surface film so that there
will be no pull In the As there
Is a pull In the front not balanced by
one Ia the rear, the tiny boat will run
forward as rapidly as the camphor
can dissolve the film In the rear.
Some interesting little magic"
tricks might be developed from these
experiments which would surprise
and instruct your friends.

BIBLE WITHIN REACH or ALL
May Be Well Described az the Most
Valuable and Cheapest Book
In the World.

The Bible is the most valuable and
the cheapest book In the world. It's
value we all acknowledge, but did you
know that you could buy a complete
Bible of 1000 double pages for 80
cents In Germany and II cents in Eng
land and the United States? And
copies of the New Testament r sold
I'm England for a penny apiecei
In the thirteenth century a fine Eng
hsh Bible cost EDO.
At that time the wages of a laborer
were nine pence a week. So to buy
q Bible he must save his entire In
come for Is years.
OF course he didn't. He went to the
churches, where the precious volume
was chained to the desk to keep ii
safe, and there he read the exciting
Old Testament stories or the beaut-
full Gospels, or more likely listened to
a reader who was better educated
than he.
In those days the Bible was val
liable In every way. Today a work
man may buy the New Testament by
walking home one night instead Of
taking the car, or giving up the potato
he had planned for his dinner.-From

MOTHER HAD REASONED WELL
and q knowledge Of the Child
: Character.

My child and my sisters two chill
dren were playing In the room next to
where my sister and I were talking.
Presently her older boy came In and
said that the others were bothering
him. He was building a railroad and
they took his things; would mother
please make them stop2 To my sur
prise, she said surely she would; 1t
was too bad they bothered him. and
she had started them playing there
she quietly closed the door between the
two rooms. In a moment IL opened,
and the young railroad builder said he
did not care about having the door
shut, ne only did not want to be both
cred. But the mother answered that
she could not keep the little folks hap
py II they saw him with all the things:
the door would have to stay shut. Ev-
cry little while, for half an hour or so,
on one excuse or another, that door
came open, and just as surely a rea-
son was given why 1t must be kept
shut. Then the law of the Kingdom,
the Spirit in Man. worked; every n
knows what would happen. The boy
came where we were, and leaning
against his mother, had a treble in his
voice as he said: I'D rather stay I'm
here; It's lonesome In there and I
don't care about the things"
She had not told him he was wrong,
but 1t was just as the inventor said:
'If you understand the case and the
law governing 1t. any n can tell what
will happen. Certain things always
work certain ways."-Eleanor Scott

Gifted Writers INDECENT

De Quincy has called Coleridge "a
man OF infinite title pages" and he
says he heard Coleridge admit that a
list of the books he meditated but
executed would fill a large vol
ume. In this respect the two opium
eaters were rivals. Perhaps their fer
tility in projects was due, as Coleridge
fancied, to an ov~eractivity OF thought,
modified by a constitutional indol-
ence," and had nothing to do with
opium. On the other hand. De Quin-
cey believed that his opium eating pre-
vented him from writing the book he
intended to make his life work, the
slow and elaborate result of years of
toll, to which he had presumed TO
give the title OF an unfinished work of
Spinoza's, viz, De Emendatione HUI
mani ~Intellectus.'" In a later mood he
devised a "Prolegomena to All Future
Systems Of Political Economy" and
made arrangements with a provincial
printer for its production. but its au-
thor never even got as Tar as the pre-
face.

oDIUM ATTACHED TO CARD
Numerous Explanations az to Why the
Nine Of Diamonds 10 Called the
Curse of Scotland.

While the nine spot of spades Is
looked upon as a fatal and vtndictive
card In the trying of fortunes, Ii Is the
nine of diamonds that bears the Odium
of being called the curse of Scotland
All writer's agree on the card, but as
to the cause of the stigma attached
to II there is a diversity Of opinion
and 1t is difficult to decide which OF
the many theories Is correct. One the
DRY is that after the Culloden strug-
gle the duke of Cumberland picked
up a nine of diamonds from the floor
and wrote on 1t an order for the death
of the insurgents. To clinch this ar
gument, 1t is declared that the identi-
cal card Is preserved at Slams castle,
Ab~erdeenshire. Another explanation
was that a Scotch member of parlia-
ment, a part of whose family arms was
the nine of diamonds, once voted for a
malt tax for his country. Still another
view is that diamonds represent roy
atty and every ninth king of Scotland
having been a tyrant and a curse fur
nishes the key to the mystery. One
writer explains 1t by stating that the
last queen of Scotland taxed her sub
jects heavily to pay for nine jewels
for her own adornment. The "last
queen Of Scotland" in herA own right
was poor. pretty Marie Stuart. against
whose memory has been tossed the
mud of countless accusations by her
bitter critics, and she might as well

SUFFERED FOR HIS COUNTRY
sIIas pease, First American Diplomatic
Agent, Received Harsh Treatment
From Government

Silas Deane. the first diplomatic
agent of the United States. was born
at Groton, Mass, close to 200 years
acc. He became a merchant and was
a delegate TO the first Continental con-
gress. In the spring Of 1776 he was
sent TO France as a secret diplomatic
agent. He posed as a merchant from
Bermuda, and upon his arrival i
Paris sought an interview with Count
de vergennes. the Minister OF Foreign
Araires, who refused TO receive him
Deane was reduced TO the direst pow
erty and was elected by his landlady.
Subsequent American ambassadors
have complained of the lack or suit
able embassies, but Deane was re-
duced to a point where he La to ac-
eept poor lodgings from a sympa-
thetic Frenchman. Eventually he was
given an audience with Vergennes and
began the diplomatic relations which
eventually resulted In the French al
lance. In 1777 Deane was recalled
In the bitter controversy which fol-
lowed his recall Thomas Paine reveal
ed the fact that supplies furnished the
colonies had been furnished by the
French government. This was on
sidered a diplomatic indiscretion and
II cost Paine his place as secretary OF
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Deane. driven INTO poverty and exile,
died In England in 1889. Half a cen-
fury later his claim for his services
abroad was adjusted by congress and
a large sum was paid his heirs.

From these warehouses there is al
ways a stream of supplies going for
ward to any army of more than a
million men. There is always a re-
serve of fifteen days supplies inside
the advance zone where the army is
fighting, thirty additional days of re-
serve supplies in the intermediate
zone half way up to the fighting line,
and forty-five more days of reserve
supplies at the base ports ready to be
moved up as fast as emergency re-
quires. This makes in all 80 days,
three months, of army supplies al

could ge along for three months if not

fact the steady stream keeps on COM

bacon, potatoes, evaporated fruit and
