EMULATION COUNTS IN LIFE
Woman Evangelist Was Evidently
Aware Of the Fact, and Turned
It To- Advantage.

In an Indiana city, not long ago. a
woman evangelist held a revival meet
ing. She took no collections while the
services were in progress, but on the
anal night she announced that free
will Offering would be In order Inter-
est in the meetings had been growing
aud tbs church was crowded to capac-
ity. The usbers with contribution
plates, started on their rounds. The
evangelist said she had instructed them
to say "Amen" whenever 25 cents was
dropped into the plate; when 50 cents
the usher was to say "Hallelujah !" and
when 81 the usher was to say GLORY
hallelujah !" In loud tone. The col
lection amount to $1,100.
II there had been no emulation the
total might have been small but the
evangelist knew that no person with
money to give would be content with
an "Amen" when neighbor, sitting in
the next pew. was acclaimed with
"GlOry halleluJahw The same principle
holds good in everyday life. If one
man has fine vegetable garden 1t is
an incentive to his neighbOrs. The
interest women have In pretty frocks
Is largely due to somebody getting one
and making the others desire some
thing equally becoming. OMen would
care little for position If it were not
for the age-old lure that makes them
want better Job than the other fell
low.
Without such emulation there would
be nothing to drag men and women
away from the commonplace things Of
life. There would be nothing TO induce
one boy to seek for the head of his
class or persuade him that he should
run for president later on. Many, of
course, are content to have "Amen"
said to their efforts in life, but more
want to hear the "Glory hallelujah pa

Men are amazingly and anusingIy

LIVE IN STRANGE ABoDEs
Danes and HoIIanders Would Seem to
Take Big Chances in the
North Sea.

The worlds strangest dwelling
places are to be found in the North
sea, not far from Helgoland.
Centuries ago there was large and
prosperous island province, called
NOrdstrand, Off the coast of Schleswig-
Holstein. Storm and earthquake de-
strOyed it one Sunday night, and near
ly 5000 people were drowned.
In course of time. however, high
mounds emerged from the waters, and
ultimately venturesome HOllanders
built their cottages on the SUBMITS of
these mounds. BY sharing fowl and
wild duck, collecting eggs, oysters, aud
seals, they managed to exc out living.
The sea-girt mounds are known as
"halligen." Except on GLAND, the larg-
est, there are no trees or fuel, except
that obtained from submerged beds
of peat, and no fresh water except
rain-water collected in butts.
Nevertheless, adventurous Danes
and Hollanders, attracted by the thou
sands of wild fowl and fish, continue
to live on the 'halllgen," in spite of
the fact that four months in the year
the coarse grass pastures, on which
cattle just manage to live, lie under
water. Sometimes all is swept away.

Tho ereeks

It y impossible to contemplate the
annsI of Greek literature and art
without being struck with them, as
by far the most extraordinary and
brilliant phenomena In the history Of
the human mind. The very language
even in Its primitive simplicity, as
It came down from the rhapsodlsts
who celebrated the exploits Of Her
cules and Theseus, was as great won
Der as any 1t records. All the other
tongues that civilized man has spoken
are poor and feeble, and barbarOus, in
comparison with It. Its compass and
fiexibllity, its riches and its powers are
altogether unlimited. 1t not only ex-
presses with precision all that Is
thought or known at any given period,
but it enlarges itself naturally, with
the progress Of science, and affords, as
II without an effort, new phrase, or
q systematic nomenclature whenever
one is called fOr.-ThOmas Keightly.

FINDS CLUE TO BURIED GOLD
Custodian of Ruins of Jesuit Mission
In Arizona on Track of Ancient
Treasure.

Tucson, Arlz.-What is believed to
be the first clue to the reputed buried
treasures of the padres of the Tuna
cacori mission, built by Spanish Jesu-
it's high up in the Tumacacori noun
tains, less than three hours journey
from Tucson, has been discovered by
Frank Pinckley, custodian of the
ruins 1t is the gateway to the mis-
sion cemetery. From this gateway, it
is said, the plans and maps left by
the padres start to outline the way to
the buried gold and silver. The Tuna
cacori mission was built near what are
believed to be the ruins of one of the
Seven Cities of Cibola. The entire re-
gion is said to show evidences of rich
mineral deposits, which, declare those
who have inspected the mountains,
doubtless led the padres to build their
mission there.

First npust" Explosion.

Until the summer of 1878 such a
thing as dust explosion" was un.
known. No doubt many such explo-
sions had occurred, but they were of
small account and no investigation
followed to disclose the true nature
of the case.
In that summer the Washburn -four
ing mills at Minneapolis, then the
largest in the world, exploded with
terrific violence.
Several massive buildings. with
granite walls two feet thick and of
particularly strong mill construction,
were demolished as if by an immense
charge of dynamite.
The flame of the first explosion was
communicated to two other mills,
which were destroyed in the con-
flagration which followed.

You all go out to a picnic, and meet
Together in some pleasant place in the
woods, and you put down the baskets
(, ere, and leave the pail with the ice
fthe handlest place you can find, and
over 1t with the blanket. Then you

choose to start hand In hand along
a gravel path which leads straight to
the WELL and probably those few en-

rest break up into Indifferent knots,
and 60 some here, some there. as
their occasion and their genius call
them. Some go after flowers, some
after berries, some after butterflies
some knock the rocks to pieces; some
climb up to where there Is fine view,
some sit down and copy the stumps,
some go into the water, some make
Sc, some find camp of Indians
and learn to make baskets. These all
come back to the picnic camp in good
order each eager to tell what he has

his taste and genius and each and all
having made vastly more of their day

path and walked In column to the we'll

HUBBY CAN'T HELP HIS FACE
Judge Tells Wife Her Husband Is Not
to Blame for What
Nature Did.

New York.-After Kelrous Polius
drew back the gauze curtains that
yelled his broken jaw his bride of sew
enteen forgot all her love for him, and
straightway made for court. She
charged her husband with disorderly
conduct.
But the judge on hearing the facts
In the case told the bride her husband
was not to blame for the face nature
had given him. and lectured her on
counting in the dark.
For Mrs. Polius met her hubby in a
moving picture house during an ex-
citing elght-reel love affair. Mr.. Polius
had just been hit by an actor and
came in to forget his broken Jaw.
1t was not until days after the mar
riage that Mrs. Polius saw her hus-
bands face in full, and what she saw
well. that's where this story started.

"The transport I came home on
