they didn't shoot, that they only

Seventeen year old Ben came

ah, shaking their heads, for they
knew very we'll that if Ben had
signed up somewhere, it was not
with the "Chevra Tehilim," nor
with the "Chevra Ayin Yachov."
Most likely it was with some "Chev-

players.

Ben. Don't you know what SOL

JOKE FOR MODERN BURGLAR
Herrinu.s Safes, Considered Marvel
ous Years Ago, Would Be Laughed
at In This Generation.

If a modern burglarsor @safe crack

probably have a good laugh. For a
modern safeblower must be a bit
of a scientist with a large knowledge
of explosives; an old-fashioned safe
would he easy for him to get into but,
in those days the Herring safes were
considered marvels and absolutely
theft and ~freproof.
Herring was born in Shrewsbury,
Vt, and began his career as a grocery
clerk. firing Of this after some six
years, he went into the lottery busi-
ness. saved $4,000 and started a
wholesale grocery concern in New
York city. A fire and a panic ruined
his business, so he obtained the agency
for the Saiamander safes-so named,
probably. because they were able to
come through FIRE unhurt- He got the
right to manufacture them later, and
kept on improving and improving them
each year. He one put $1,000 in the
drawer of one, sent it to the worlds
fair and offered the money to any one
who could get into the safe and get
1t. No one got 1t.
But nowadays big banks and trust
companies would laugh at these old
square safes. The burglar proof
safe today is round like a ball. and has
a door that : screws in, leaving no
cracks for explosives. Even ii n

plosion would only drive the door more
firmly into the casing of the safe.

KING ARTHuR's ROUND TABLE
Legend Of Sir calahad and the "Holy

English Writer.

Sir Galahad Of Tennyscn's The
Holy Graal." was the noblest and pur.
est knight Of the Round Table. The
title was invented by Walter Map In
the "Quest of the Graal." Morley, In
his English Writer'S" says Sir Gala
had was the son of Maps L'Ancelot
and Elaine. The son and namesake
of Joseph of Arimathes. Bishop Jo-
seph, to whom the holy dish was be-
queathed, first instituted the Order Of
the Round Table. The initiated at
their festivals sat as apostle knights
round the table. with the Holy Graal
In the midst, leaving one seat vacant
as that which the Lord had occupied
and which was reserved for a descen-
dant of Joseph. named Galahad. What
ever man else attempted to sit In the
place of Galahad the earth swallowed.
1t was called therefore the Siege

cry depended the honor and peace Of
England. but only Sir Galahad. who
was at the appointed time brought to
the knights by a mysterious old man

Galahad succeeded in the quest.

ATTRACTIVE ONLY 70 TOURIST
Eastern City of Mosui Not = Place II
Which Westerners Care to
Make = Long Stay.

Mosul. the modern Nineyeh, is a
picturesque but not altogether attrac-
tive city. The houses are built OF
irregular blocks of stone laid in thick
mortar. They are usually covered
with q white stucco, made BY burning
the local GYPSUM rock.
The roofs, of the same material as
the walls, are usually fat, with a
w~aist-high parapet. but are not infre-
quently domed. Doorways are often
made of slabs of the easily carved
gypsum.
The streets are narrow and aim
less, forming a maze of tangled lanes
AS there is no system Of sewerage
whatever, they serve ms repositories
for all the filth of the houses that
border on them. They are rarely SO
vide that more than two men can
walk abreast.
As a result of the fine dust, the
filth and the glare of the sun on the
white walls, ophthalmia and hung dis
eases abound. The flies. which breed
in the open refuse heaps in astonish-
ing numbers, swarm over everything.
They cause the button, common also
in Aleppo and Bagdad. an ailment that
resembles a carbuncle and persists Tor
several months and leaves an ugly
scar.
Opposite Mosul, across the river,
are the last yestiges of Nineveh, cap
ital of the second of the worlds great
empires. In places, great walls of the
ancient city, built of tremendous
masses of sun-dried brick laid on a
high broad wall of cut stone, are still
traceable. The city was further pro-
tected by a moat into which the wa
tiers of a small river could be con-
Quoted. 1t was hewn to a depth OF
20 feet and a width of 80 yards. and.
like the walls, is in evidence today.

MANY VARIETIES OF SUGAR
Those Which Are Contained in Dried
Fruits Are Recommended as OF
Very High Food Value.

When you say sugar, you mean thai
white crystalline material which
comes originally from the sugar cane
or the sugar beet. And that substance
is a pure sugar. But 1t is not the only
sugar. by any means.
II you were . chemist you would
call that sugar ~'sucrose." and you
would remark quite casually that. OF
course, there are other sugars.
Some Of these other sugars are "giu-
cose," or "dextrose," or grape sugar."
.fr~uctose;" or 'levulose." or fruit
sugar" a~lactose," or milk sugar"
and "maltose," or malt sugar"
Honey, corn sugar. maple sugar and
maple strip. corn strip and many 9TH
er sirups contain n or more of these
'sother SUGARS" In this sense, all the
sugar substitutes are not really sub
stitutes at all. but are sugars just as
cane sugar Is sugar. All fruits con-
tain sugar OF one kind or another.
Dried fruits-prunes. figs, apricots.
dates-contain a great deal of sugar.
They can be used by themselves as
sources Of fuel for home fighters.
All these sugars have a very high
food value. That is the second fact
to keep in mind. They IN energy

they act very rapidly in producing

PROVED TRUTH OF OLD ADAeE
That "a Little Learning Is } Danger
Gus Thing" Seems Shown BY
This Anecdote.

A certain lawyer of a bygone gener-
alton, Mass Jones by name. had a case
before a justice of the peace out in

He was for the defendant, while a
wiseacre Of a schoolmaster who had
pickle, up a few Latin words. appeared
for the plaintiff.

ter's favor, and in summing up he
would exclaim with great gusto as he
made his points. "and that is thu sum-

Mass had really no defense. but his
ready wit and keen sense Of the ridicu-
lous supplied him with one. So when
he came to reply he said to the justice,

law of summum bonum. on which the
gentleman wholly relies, for its an
fiquity. 1t was an old English law.

Revolution to overthrow that law, and
they did overthrow 1t, and then they
reared in Its stead the law of e plu-

Thereupon the justice said. Il have
a great deal of respect myself for that

ROYSTER WILL BE
ADJUTANT GENERAL

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 27.-For the
second time Gen. b. S. Royster, OIL
oxford. will become Adjutant Gen.
eral of North Carolina to allow Ad-
jutant General Lawrence Young TO
enter avtice military service.
This was assured yesterday when
Governor Beckett announced that
General Royster would succeed Ad-
jutant General Young who leaves
the State service shortly to accept
appointment as Major on the stan
of General Mccain, Adjutant Gener-
al of the Army. The appointment
of General Royster will become ef-
fective as soon as General Young
winds up the odds and ends of his
office which will probably be within
the week.
Governor Beckett yesterday ex-
pressed himself as being highly
pleased that he could place the res
possibilities OF the Adjutant Gener-
ais office upon a man whose former
experience, sound judgment and le-
gal talent promise to fit In so WELL
/ AS a matter of fact, the Governor
intimated that it was only after the
exercise Of some pressure that Cen
eral Royster, who has fiattering
legal proctice,. agreed to accept the
Adjutant General appointment.
The Governor has high regard
for General Young ana that is ex-
pressing 1t mildly. He has stood by
| the Adjutant General staunhly while
the latter was somewhat of storm
center and now sees vindication of
General Young and for his support
of General Young in the latter's ap-
pointment to active service again.
The fact that General Young now
receives q very desirable post on the
staff OF Adjutant General Mccain
wipes out any impression that the
failure of General Young to be call
cd into the service with the rest oi
the National Guard troops was FOR
any shortconaIng on his part.
