SPAIN COMES TO TERMS
Agrees to Supply Pershing With Neces-
sary Materials

An agreement with Spain, under
which General Pershing will get
mules, army blankets and other ma
terials in that county in return for
cotton, oil and other commodities
from the United States, was signed in
Madrid on Thursday. The State De-
partment was so advised by Ambassa-
dor willard
Success of the negotiations for eX-
change of commodities was welcome
news to officials, as the ability of GEN
eral Pershing to buy supplies in Spain
will save ship tonnage and enable the
General to build up his reserve stores
much more rapidly than probably
otherwise would have been possible.
The negotiation has been in pro-
gress for nearly a month, and they fol-
lowed refusal of Spain to supply a
large number of mules, 100000 blank
cts and other materials ordered by
General Pershing last month.
Through their control of bunker
coal the Unoted States and the Allies
were in position to stop not only the
shipment of goods to Spain from the
Allied countries, but from neutrals as
well. Spain is dependent upon this
country for large supplies of food
stuffs, as we'll as other materials

Stevenson on the Bible.

Frederic Harrison, in an address de-
livered many years ago to the Bodley
Literary society i'm oxford, concluded
with these words: If you care to
know the best that our literature can
give in simple, noble prose-mark,
learn, and inwardly digest the Holy
Scriptures in the English tongue 1t
is interesting to learn what Robert
Louis Stevenson said regarding the
same theme. In a recent lecture on
the author of Kidnapped" by Oil
plant Smeaton, that wellknown critic
and writer tells us how on one occa-
sion, In the old Swanston days, his
friend said to him: II say, Smeaton,
have you ever read finer prose than
in Ephesus and Philippians" Accord
ing to the same authority, "R. L. s."
knew whole chapters of the Testament
by heart, but his supreme fayorite
among the sacred writings was the
last fifteen chapters of the Book of
Isaiah. In the Bible Stevenson found,
says Mr.. Smeaton, the magic of the
finest Westminster Gazette.

GREAT NAMES HAVE GONE
Long List of Men Of Genius Whose
Line 10 No Longer Represented
on the Earth.

When one considers how many fam.
lilies there are which trace their an.
cestry in a direct line for many gen.
erations, it is rather a surprising fact
that there is not n single living de
scendant in the male line of some of
the greatest men the world has ever
produced.
For the preservation of our illusions
regarding genius, 1t probably is far
better that there should be no disap
pointing ordinary persons left in the
world to represent the men whom we
delight to honor.
To find a Milton engaged in the in.
surance business, or a Byron on the
stock exchange would jar dreadfully
on ones sense of the fitness of things.
The following is a list of some of
the illustrious men whose line never
will be represented on the earth
again as long as the world stands:
Chaucer. Shakespeare. Spencer. Mil
ton, Cowley, Butler, Dryden, Pope,
Cowper. Goldsmith, Byron, Moore, Sir
Philip Sidney, Sir Walter Raleigh,
Drake. Cromwell, Hampden, Monk,
Peterborough, Nelson, Bolingbroke,
Walpole, Chatham, Pitt Fox, Burke,
Washington, Canning, Bacon, Locke,
Newton, Davy, Hume, Gibbon, Mac
auley, Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds.
Sir Thomas Lawrence, David Garrick,
John Kemble, Edmund Kean.

sure her. But his law partner rushes

BROTHERS MET AS PAUPERS
Living Together Ten Years in English
PocrhoEse, kinship Is Re-
Vealed.

Two old paupers. who had been in
St. Olave's workhouse, Bermondsey,
one for ten and one for twelve years.
were smoking their pipes in the exer-
else yard when the conversation turn
ed on a street which was then being
pulled down, says the London Weekly
Telegraph.
"Ahl" said one. that's the street
where l was born"
Were you? Why. so was IT, said
the other. Where did you ive?"
My mother kept the little corner
shop when l was boy
why, so did NINE exclaimed the
other.
The men started at each other.
You've made a mistake My mother
kept that shop-my mother, Anne
Brown" Then the men rose and look
ed into each others eyes Then you
must be Jack?" And you must be
Bill?" And the old raen-one seventy
and the other seventy-three-g rasped
hands, knowing each other as broth
ers for the first time during their ten
years OF fellow paupership.
This is the explanation, Jack, the
elder, went to sea when he was IF
teen, and from that time troubled his
family no more. He couldn't write,
and he didn't find it convenient TO
call in at Bermondsey, as he was new
er near it. The second brother. when
he was nineteen, enlisted, deserted
and re-enlisted under a false name.
Under the latter he married, and when
he became a pauper he went to the
woTkhouse with it. The brothers had
not seen each other since one was
fifteen and the other twelve.
That is how they came to sit side
by side day by day in the workhouse
for ten years, without the slightest
suspicion that the same mother bore
them both.

AMPLE SUPPLIES OF SUGAR
Must be Available by Preserving Time

Ample supplies of sugar will be
available during the coming season,
the Food Administration announced
last night, to meet the necessary re-
quirements of food manufacturers and
for household preserving purposes.
"All manufacturers of essential food
products" a Food Administration
statement said, "are advised that they
will be able to obtain their full ne
cessary requirements. This applies
particularly to the packers of fruit,
condensed milk and such vegetables
for the preservation of which sugar
may be necessary as well as to the
housewives for usage in preserving
purposes. AS the car shortage is re-
lieved supplies of sugar will be avail
able for the necessary preservation
purposes. Shipments from Cuba are

What the Old eravexards Show.

Mother" in the good old days, it is
true, used to make the family clothes,
work the family loom, raise the family
chickens, plant the family garden, cook
the family food, churn the family but
ter, embroider the family frocks and
bear the family grief; but mother in
those days used to die at an early
enough age to make it possible for
"the man of the family" TO take unto
himself another wife, and sometimes
a third and fourth. If there is any
thing that the old graveyards show 1T
is that the mothers" lived hard while
they did live, but seldom lived long.
That mother" today only does about
twice as much work as her husband

VALUE QUEER RELICS HIGHLY
Large Sums Have Frequently Been
Paid for Articles That Many
Would Call Grewsome.


1t is not every man, not every hero
worshiper, who would esteem the
tooth of his hero of more value than
diamonds. There is a ring belonging
to an English nobleman, in which the
place of honor, formerly occupied by
a diamond, is given to a tooth that
once di ! duty in a human jaw.
This tooth cost no less than three
thousand six hundred and fifty dol
Newton. A relic collector sold it at
auction in 1876, and the nobleman
who bought it gave it the place of a
diamond in his favorite ring.
Another TOOTH which so far excites
the veneration of hero woTshipers as
to be able to hold a court of its own
and to draw from long distances a
small host of followers, is one that
was originally hidden behind the lips
of Victor Hugo. It is kept at his
former residence in a glass case bear
ing the inscription, $Tooth drawn from
the law of Victor Hugo by the dentist
on Wednesday, August II, 1871. in the
gardens attached TO the house OF
Madame Koch, at three o'clock in the
afternoon"
The wig of literary man appears
to have been even more sought after
than his teeth. That which Sterne
wore while writing "Tristram Shandy"
was sold soon after the writer's death
for ten thousand dollars; and the
fayorite chair of Alexander Pope
brought five thousand dollars.
The most extravagant instance of
literary hero worship is that of well.

there is happy ending after five acts

cry for herself and her unborn child.
Lon CLANCY, who has played every
kind of villain photoplaying can de-
wise, appears in 1.-The Piper's Price,"
for once in his screen career, as hero
of the most glorified type. The un-
