Have to Tell You.

Alta Sunday and Monday; Bushman
and Bayne in Brilliant Metro Play;

and ward, but Peter says that he will
not marry an empty-headed butterfly
and Virginia declares that she will

UNABLE TO EXPLAIN HORNS
Scientists at a Loss TO Account for
Growth Which Sometimes APP
pears on Head Of Horse.

One Of the strangest freaks of ma
ture Is the horse with horns. Such
horses are foaled occasionally, and
have provided a rich field of specula-
ton for scientists. Certainly the pres
ence of the horns would seem to indl-
cate that In some far-away period this
animal was so provided by nature.
In most cases where horses have
been foaled with horns, the horns were
upon the forehead, and usually three
or four inches long. But a colt near
Rogersyille, Tenn, the existence Of
which Is on record had a curved horn
just below the aperture Of the right
eye. This Is approximately the same
position from which sprout the horns
of many animals whose horns have
full growth.
Despite this evidence Of a return to
some earlier state Of development, no
trace of their presence can be found
on any Of the skulls of horses which
belonged to other ages. Thousands
of these skulls have been uncovered
In many lands. The oldest goes back
just 100000 years. and Is of a size
to indicate that the horse of that time
was no larger than good-slzed dog.

PROUD OF "REMINDER BOOK"
Mr.. Blinklnton Claims That by Its Aid
He Has Been Saved Much
Time and Worry.

"What used to do when put any
thing away" said Mr.. BllnklntOn, twas
to bestow It with great care In some
place where I would know just where
to find It, and then I would forget 1t
completely. More than once when |
have wanted something that had thus
carefully put away have had to tear
the house apart to find It.
$50 II was until evolved my Things
Put Away book which has proved to
be great help and comfort.
"Now when l put anything away I
first enter 1t In that book, which is, of
course, lndexed, so that I won't have 20
look through long list Of things when
l want to find anything.
"0nce soon after started the book
I put that away somewhere very care
fully and then forgot where | had put
1t and had terrible time looking 1t
up; but since then l have kept It In
spot where 1t can't fail to come under
my eye daily; and 1t works like a
charm.
"Really / should say that for any
body who like myself Is apt TO forget
things n Things Put Away book would
be Indispensable"

HOME Is HEAVEN

The earthly home is only a type
Our town is "a city of homes" In my
Fathers house are many mansions
said the homeless one of Galilee
Birds of the air had nests, foxes hao
holes in the ground, but he had not
where to lay his head. John Howard
Payne, who wrote, Home, Sweet
Home was also an exile, like lis
master. In little village graveyard
a tombstone to a mother has this
homely epitaph: "She Made Home
Happy" Sounds like Christ's "Shc
hath done what she could A real
home is surely a happy place built on
the hilltop of cheerfulness. No shade"
rests there. Morning comes early,
evening stay late. Life is a stormy
sea, home a harbor.

PROSPERITY BUILT ON VICE
Portuguese City of Macao Has Long
Been Known as the Monte Carlo
of the Orient.

Macao Is said to be the most pros
porous bit of Portuguese territory in
the world. 1t Is the famous Monte
Carlo of the Orient" where gambling
and considerable opium traffic have
their headquarters. Both these vices
are ones to which the Chinese are par
ticularly addicted, and Macao has be-
come a great resort for the Weather
Chinese natives.
II lies on sandy peninsula. half
way on the trip between Hongkong
and Canton. The Portuguese acquired
it in the olden time when they were
the most daring explorers and traders
in the world. Their descendants live
there still, but they have mingled and
intermarried with the Chinese until
what amounts to new race has been
produced in the native-born Portuguese
colony in Macao.
Macao Is a prosperous city, as most
capitals of the god Of chance are wont
to be. Various gambling games are
played, but the favorlte Is fan-tan, over
which the Chinaman can develop an
apparently disproportlonate amount of
excitement. In fan-tan, a number of
coins or counters are hidden under q
bowl, and the players bet on how many
will be left when the coins have been
counted off In fours. Simplicity can go
no farther, but 1t Is possible to lose
as much money over this primitive
form Of gambling as over the most
complicated variety known to the
West.
Chinese are the greatest gamblers
in the world. They will bet on any
thing from the weather to the weight
of n horse, whether they can afford
to lose or not. A wealthy Chinese
merchant will win and lose fortunes
with an air Of phllosophic nonchal-
ance, while the poorest coolies will
drop weeks pay in ten minutes with
out permitting the impasslve gravity
of his cOuntenance to be married by
anything more than panied frown.

Do not cry out against the terrors OF
thrift as long as the men in the trench
es do not cry out against their hard
ships. Consider yourself lucky to be
able to save and to buy War Savings
Stamps.
Miss Christina Wattawa, N. Fifth
street, was surprised last Thursday
evening by twenty-five friends at mis-
cellaneous shower. Miss Wattawa is
soon to wed Karl Schmitz, son OF Her
man Schmitz.
The 500 Line jack knife bridge is
out of com mission. IL cannot be lifted
and shuts off navigation. The damage
was caused by switch engine running
onto it before it was set and it may not
be in order again for ten days or two
weeks.
Which do we care more for, personal
qualification or the principles for which
the civilized world is fighting? If the
former, we shall continue to speed
recklessly; If the latter, we shall save
to the utmost of our ability and with
our savings buy w. S. S.
Marshall Field, some years ago, said;
Careful saving and careful spending
invariably promote success. Economy
is one of the most essential elements
of success, yet most wretchedly disre-
garded. The or 10 cents squandered
a day, /, saved, will in few years
amount to thousands of dollars. If a
man is not competent to manage a
small income or a small business, he is
not competent to manage large in
come or large business"
Rev. John Csvanaugh, G. S. c., pre-
sident OF Notre Dame University, says:
"The War Savings campaign will be
powerful in winning this gigantic con-
test. Did you ever see football game?
Did you notice how much depended on
the roofing from the sidelines and the
bleachers? Well, the War Savings
campaign is an ideal form of roofing
for cur side 1t disheartens the en-
envy as much AS it cheers and invigor-
ates our side
"The duty of patriotism lies equally
on young and old, rich and poor, on
clergy and laymen. There is no reason
in creation for selecting GU" soldiers
among men between Il and 81, except
that they are better able to do the
physical work of the war than the rest
of us. But the work of war must be
done in homes, in churches, in schools,
and in factories, as we'll as upon the
battle fields of the world. And the
worst form OF slacker-because he has
not even the poor, silly reason of fear
to excuse him-is the Stacker who is
called upon to make only the minor
sacrifice of money and has not the
heart to make it.

EFFECTS OF GOOD READING

Childhood is truly the time to ac-
quire knowledge; a healthy child is
never still or idle. Every moment he
is awake he is learning something.
And all his knowledge of the world is
as some count them, but he learns
what he is told, from what he sees,
most, as we guess we all do, from and
from reading. Before he knows one
letter from another he will look at
pictures for an hour at time and if
he can find any one to read or tell
him about what he sees, his tongue Is
as busy as his eyes. His little brain
must do something to keep both mem
bers busy. What he learns from
picture book cannot be calculated.
AS soon as the child is old enough
to read, if he is not provided with
reading material, there are only two
ways for him to do, either to find
books and papers for himself or to
spend his time in some other way. As
what child reads has such a power
over his whole life, it is very impor-
tant that parents be careful about
what their children read If taste or
desire for reading or study is not
formed early in life it is probable II
never will be, or if a passion for the
worthless, sensational print be ac
quired it will be difficult to eradicate
such a desire Negligence or thought
lessness of parents on this question is
often the cause of lifelong regret.

IMMORTALITY

The following oratorcal gem is
said to have fallen from the lips of
Hon W. j. Bryan. 1t Is not only a
beautiful word painting of immortal
ity, but contains much good food for
thought:
If the Father designs to touch with
divine power the cold and pulseless
heart of the buried acorn and make It
burst forth fron its prison walls, viii
He leave neglected the soul of man,
who was made in the image of his
creator? If He SO stoops TO give to the
rosebud, whose withered blossoms
float upon the autumn breeze, the
sweet assurance of another spring
time, will He withhold the words OF
hope fromthe souls OF men who the
frosts of winter come? II matter,
mute and inanimate, Is changed by
the force OF nature into a multitude of
forms that never die, will the spirit u
man suffer humiliation after 1t has
paid a brief visit like a royal guest to
this tenement of clay.
One wiser than Bryan has said
"And whatsoever liyeth and believeth
In me shall never die" because
live We shall live also" And Jesus
said unto her. am the resurrection
and the life; he that belieyeth In me,
though he were dead, yet shal he
live" Because | live ye shall live
also"

deeper than Shakespeare's love of
life was his indifference to It," says
Harriet Monroe; "wlder than his
knowledge Of the world was his reck-
lessness Of It's applause. Flowers or
ashes he cared not; kisses or broken

Their. Thus In his personality there Is
something selfless and inscrutable
which from age to age has fascinated
the world. We feel him vast, Impair
