A customer with a camera came In
to tell his troubles to Joe Craven, q
photographer in South Illinois street
Last Sunday l found this camera
on bench at Riverside" he said.
There were two films that had not
been used so I exposed them and
would like to have the roll printed.
If you know or hear of anybody who
lost camera, why just give 1t to
them"
So when Craven printed the pic
lures he took one of them and put II
In his window with a small sign on
it. "This Girl Lost Her Camera; II
You Know Her Please Tell Her That
Her Camera Is Here and She May
Have 1t and the Pictures Gratisi"
Three days later she came in for
the camera and the finder Of the cam
era came back for his set Of pictures.
The sad part of it all is the fellow
came just about ten minutes too late
to meet the girl. So girls, II you see
a fellow look at you and then take
a picture out Of his pocket and look
at it don't get excited. He merely
wishes to meet the good looking girl

The Friendly Water Trip.

It's a queer world. Sunday we
spent in a friends boat, making the
trip to WallaceburG Ont. Along
that stretch Of blue water we passed
every sort Of people in every sort Of
boats, and in every instance we
waved hand in greeting to them and
they waved to us. 1t was no trick at
all to get warm and genial sign Of
friendship from passersby. The peo-
pie on land saluted us. 1t seemed as
though we were continually being vel
coined as we arrived In sight and
wished good luck as we departed.
Yet on land we could have passed
by the same people time after time
and not one Of them would have
turned to look or wave q hand.
Why can't people be as friendly to
land travellers as they are to those
who travel by waterf It's queer
world.--Cleveland Leader.

Lucky fer Sleeping Occupants That

and ran along them with no one guild

into a farmyard and went into the
barn.

FINE WORK NOT RECOGNIZED
Literary World Was Slow to Discover
a Masterpiece In Translation Of
Omar khayyam.

The appearance in the auction room
Of one Of the most remarkable col
lections Of editions of Omar Khayyam
naturally recalls the early history Of
the famous Rubaiyat, that might so
easily have missed finding Its remark
able position In the world Of books.
When Fitzgerald translated the Per
sian poet, Bernard Quaritch probably
had deep regrets that he had elected
to publish II.
One may believe that 1t was with
no feeling Of pride as publisher that
he marked down the first edition and
left 1t for somebody to discover in his
"two-penny box" where economical
book buyers hunted for bargains. II,
coming out Of the ''two-penny box" 1t
had missed attracting the notice Of
such connoisseurs Of the written word
as Rossetti and Swinburne, the Rubai-
vat would very likely have continued
placidly on its way to oblivion.
No other book ever started from q
"two-penny box" on a journey in the
world of letters that eventually in
cluded so many of such varied edi-
tions; yet 1t may be questioned wheth-
er 1t was not the phraseology of the
translator rather than the thought Of
the poet that really started II and
kept 1t going.

WHY SADNESS IN OLD AGE7
Too True That the Two Thinqs Are
Frequently Associated, but
Should Not BE.

1t is common belief that as a per-
son advances in years he becomes not
only wiser but sadder man. That
one should gain knowledge as he grows
Older Is thoroughly In order, but that
he should become increasingly bur-
dened with the cares Of life and sad
dened because Of hopes that have not
been fulfilled Is not a necessary condi-
ton.
1t is true that the clouds that gather
about the setting sun do take a sober
coloring from an eye that has kept
watch in mans mortality, to para.
phrase Wordsworth a bit, and that the
thought Of constantly lessening activi-
ty and prospects, which age entails is
enough to make one pause and consid-
er. But consideration that goes far
enough will reveal that ali time, wheth-
er Of this world or another, is an un,
ending opportunity for progression.
After all, the whole matter Of age is
something that has to do with the mind
rather than the body. And when the
body begins to fail, when gray hairs
appear, the step becomes less springy,
sleep more difficult and Joy in things
that used to please an impossibility.
sadness should not be the result.
The mind is great crucible which
receives and transfuses in some fash
ion Impressions from all the objects

ter which determines what the trans
fusion shall be. A man can let his will
relax or he can keep 1t active, regard
less Of age. He can make Of his ex-
istence heaven or a hell. whether he
be old or young, rich or poor. in a
favored spot Of the earth, on desert
soil or fallen on evil days.
Exercise Of the win cannot at last
stave OF death, and 1t may not induce
prolonged health or material welfare.
But II can aid in all these things, and
entirely regardless of Its material &C
complishments, the win that is kept
properly on the alert can lead him in
hope.
"Oh, well for him whose win Is
strong"
For him whose will is weak, or rath-
er allowed to become weak, there Is
Joy neither In sunset nor sunrise.
And even the bright light Of MONDAY
will only dazzle and bewilder. rather
than encourage and inspire.
The strong will sees endlessly. ''be-
yond the sunset and the paths of all
the western stars" It strengthens a
man in hope and leads him to see un-
limited possibilities as the years pass.
Sadness is the last thing that ought to
characterize age.-Kansas City Star.

LEFT FALSE TEETH IN GUTTER
Kansas City Man Prcuder Than Rail-
road Engineer Who Was Victim
Of Same Accident.

A man left the Office of a Kansas
City dentist the other day with full
complement Of new false teeth. Hard
IL had he reached the street when he
was seized with At Of sneezing, aud
when the storm had passed over, the
upper plate was gone. 1t had rolled
into the gutter. much to the amusement
of the crowds.
The man, being greatly Inundated,
turned away and went directly back to
the dentist. II couldn't stoop down
and pick up those teeth in front of
all those people, you know" he told
the dentist, and proceeded to order a
new plate.
This man was considerably more
sensitive than certain engineer on
Santa Fe branch road in Kansas
a few years ago. The engineer, while
leaning out Of his cab window, sneezed
and lost his teeth. He stopped the
train, walked back half a mile until he
found them.
On his return the passengers nat
urally wanted to know what he had
been doing, and so pleased was he
with his success that he told them.
And the passengers In turn were so
pleased with the explanation that no
one complained Of the delay except the
conductor, who said he had left his
spectacles at home that morning, but
nobody offered to hold the train for
him while he went back after them.

DEATH RECALLS FAMOUS DUEL
Tell Of "LIberators" Meeting
With D'Esterre.

Mr.. Daniel O'Connell, grandson Of
the 'Tiberator," died few days ago
at his residence. Darrynane abbey. Wa
terville, Ireland. In his eighty-fourth
year. he was a magistrate and dep
uty lieutenant for County Kerry, and
served the office Of high sheriff In 1880.
A Dublin gentleman has an interest
ing picture Of the late Mr.. O'Connell
holding the pistol which his grandfa-
ther used in a famous duel. The fol-
lowing description Of the encounter is
taken from his own description:
"In a speech at a Catholic meeting
on January "A. 1918, the Liberator' re-
ferred to the Orange corporation OF
Dublin as a 'beggarly corporation
D'Esterre, a member Of the corpora
ton and a well-known shot with pis-
tolls, demanded an explanation. which
was refused.
after consulting his friends, DIES
terre paraded the streets for two days
with the avowed intention Of horse
whipping o'Connell. The two, howev-
er. did not meet and finally D'Esterre
sent Sir Edward Stanley with mes
sage demanding an explanation.
O'Connell referred Sir Edward to Ma
Tor MacNamarra, Protestant gentle
man Of County Glare. who refused to
give any explanation, whereupon Sir
Edward Stanley delivered challenge,
which was accepted, and half-past
three that afternoon, at Bishops court

Mas, on the road to Dublin. was fixed
for the meeting.
"They met accordingly and fired to.
gether, by signal. D'Esterre's bullet
went wide. O'Connell aimed low. In
tending to hit D'Esterre In the leg, but
actually did so In the groin. The bull
let went through, penetrating the biad
der. and came out at the back, infiict'
ing a mortal wound D'Esterre lived
for two days only.
'The pistols used by the Liberator
were given him by an English otticer
ouartered In Dublin. to whom he hac
done kindness, and who, when giving
them. said. as proof Of their good
ness, that they had already killed ter
men. They are pair Of 'Rigby's Par
ticulars,' and Mr.. O'Connell often shot
at a mark with them. and found then
to be- very good and accurate.

The Porcupine's Habits.

When you come suddenly upon the
porcupine In his native haunts, he
draws his head back and down. puts
up his shield, trails his broad tail, and
waddles slowly away. His shield is
the sheaf of larger quilts upon his
back, writes John Burroughs. which
he opens and spreads out In a circu-
lar form, so that the whole body is
quite hidden beneath it. The porcu-
pines great chisel-like teeth, which
are quite as formidable as those of

use at all in his defense, but relies
entirely upon his quills.
