Share and Share Alike.

The Russian revolution was not
without it's lighter side, as the follow
ing account of what happened in Pc
trOgrad will show:
A woman communist was holding
forth, asserting that all were equal
and all wealth should be divided
equally. On this a man in her audi
ence produced coins amounting to
about a dollar and One-half from his
pocket. 81 agree with you," he re
marked "You have convinced me-"
Turning to a bystander he asked him
to change one of the pieces for him
He obtained two notes.
Facing the lady orator, he said
"This is all the money I possess.
will halve it with you," and he held
out the seventy-five cents. She had tC
take it, and was about to commence
her grafton again when her question
er continued: mo, no. How much
have you in your purse? We must
now divide that, since we are to share
equally in our wealth." Reluctantly
she produced her purse. It was open
ed and found to contain twenty dol
lars. The man pocketed ten dollars OF
this, thanked her for her interesting
lecture and withdrew.

BURIAI-s AT CROSS ROADS
the Suicide With the Executed
Criminal.

In pre-Christian days, suicides were
terribly frequent, and it was general
ly agreed that a man might escape
the burden of life in this manner,
without discrediting his memory.
Christianity with its higher code OF
morals, taught the wickedness and
cowardice of self-murder, in the
strongest terms. When consecrated
churchyards were set apart as the
resting place of the Christian dead, it
was felt that those who died in dead
ly sin, in fragrant rebellion against
their Maker, had cut themselves Off
from the faith, and had no right to
await the resurrection with faithful
Christians. They were believed to
have put themselves outside of So
ciety, and to have forfeited their right
to share it's burial privileges. In those
early days, before churches could be
built, it was the rule to preach and
conduct divine services at the cross
roads. Wooden and afterwards stone
crosses were erected to mark the stu
alton where services would be held.
Some Of these have been preserved to
this day, being memorials erected to
the dead, or dedications of thanksgiv-
ing. Since suicides might not be bur-
led in the churchyard or other conse-
Grated ground, pity suggested that the
next most holy spot was the ground
near the old cross, where service had
once been held, or was then held. They
buried the poor suicides there, be-
cause they were unwilling to relin-
qufsh hope for them. Afterward, for
the sake of greater publicity, the glib
bet and the gallows were set up at
the crossroads, and criminals were
buried beneath them after their exc
cution. The law decreed that suicides
should lie with these criminals, in or
der to mark the detestation in which
the crime of self-murder was held.
And so what was once signal of
Christian hope and charity, became
legal indignity imposed upon the dead
bodies to mark an immensely serious
breach of the law of the country.

Statement of Belgian soldier: "At
Haecht saw the body of little child
aged about three years, whose stomach
had been cut open by bayonet. The
people at the village told me that the
child had been killed in it's mothers
arms"
Statement of a Belgian refugee: II
saw the dead body of baby a few
weeks old, hanging by it's neck to the
handle of the front door of a cottage
outside Hever / was told by others
that the Germans had taken the child
from the mothers arms and hung it
there, forcing her to watch till the
baby was dead"

Edith Gutenberg. At the age of
eight months Edith, from the con-
fines of her cradle, mimicked the call

the bird would answer back. At the
age of two she could distinguish all
the colors of the spectrum. One month
later she was discovered in the act OF

at three and one-half years she could
recognize 100 popular airs. Three

Two Canine Heroes.

Two French war dogs, which well
deserve the honor, have had their
names and numbers posted up at all
the French army kennels for a deed
of valor. The story is that, at the time
of the German offensive, the dogs
keeper stayed in the rear to the very
last moment, waiting for his dogs to
return with an important message.
When they did come, the only way left
to escape capture was by swimming
the Marine, and the man could not
swim, so he coupled the dogs together,
and clinging on to their iron chain,
was dragged across the river by them,
the three escaping unhurt in spite of
a rain Of bullets from German rifles.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is amazing hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of it if you will just try little Dan
derine.-AdV.

Clouds.

'"The height maintained by clouds
is very variable and is generally less
than you might suppose" writes Jean
Henri Fabre. 'There are clouds that
lazily trail along the ground; they
are the fogs. There are others that
cling to the sides of moderately high
mountains, and still others that crown
the SUBMITS. The region where they
are commonly found is at a height
varying from 500 to 1900 meters. In
some rather rare instances, they rise
to neaTly four leagues. Beyond that,
eternal serenity reigns."
