workmen Marooned HIoh in air.

A violent windstorm recently swept across Great Salt lake, and overland into Ogden, which it coated with a thin layer of salt. Buildings, pedestrians, sidewalks and automobiles were all "salted" impartially. The only real damage done, however, was in the destruction of 200-foot scaf- fold around concrete grain elevator. Six unfortunate workmen, who were on top of finished part of the eIeya- tor, 100 feet in the air, at the time of the collapse, were completely narooned until rescued with extension ladders by the local fire department.

DIDN'T LET STOMACH KNOW
Simple Manner in Which Struggling PIttsburgher Acquired a
 Competence.

A Pittsburgh man, by thrift and economy, acquired competence from a most humble beginning, but until he related his experience to his friends in the bank where he did business they were unable to discover the real secret of his success. Here is his story, ace cording to the Pittsburgh Dispatch: He started to work on the South side at $8 per week and was soon advanced to marked up to $14 he got married. be- ginning double team life in two rooms in one of the alleys nigh to Carson street His boss thought so we'll of his marriage he added $2 more per week to his income. He bought small lot in the alley, put up little house and ere long was living free of rent. Then he annexed lot, erected another house and found himself q landlord. Another legacy of go week was his good fortune and at last followed pros- perity that enabled him to live with out daily toll. Well" said the presi- dent of the bank, "you have not told. these tellers and young fellows in the bank the real secret of your success, ag you confided it privately to me- ani9 laughing, the man said: "Oh, yes. I know what you mean. Well, boys. I told you I started at $S per week and. believe me, no matter how often [ was advanced in wages, never let my stomach know that was on any other than $8 weekly allowance" This ex- plained his comfortable bank balance. Moral: Go thou and do likewise. "Own home"

The master of Glasgow school was presiding over the reading lessons of the third standard when the child whose turn it was to read came across the word "hireling."
 What is hireling'?" asked the teacher.
 The boy thought for moment or two, and then replied, T don't know.'' The question was next propounded to the entire class, with like result. The master then explained the mean- ing of the word as lucidly as he could, and, at the conclusion of his expla- nation, repeated the question.
 Please, sir" replied the boy nd dressed, you're hireling; youte paid to teach us."

 The latter strengthened up, stretched his arms, yawned, and announced in a loud tone that he guessed he'd stop out and get bit of fresh air before turning in.
 "Any news?" inquired Barnes, ap- preaching the desk after the door had closed behind the book agent.
 Tt wasn't the sheriff." replied Jones shortly, and immediately resumed his interrupted discourse on books and book agents. Ten minutes elapsed be- fore the landlords garrulity was checked by the sound of an automobile coming to a stop in front of the house.

 Barnes was not in a position to doubt the fellows word, for the car unmistakably had gone on toward Hornville. He waited a few minutes after the man disappeared up the mar row stairway, and then proceeded to test his powers of divination. He was as sure as he could be sure of anything that had not actually come to pass that in a short time the automobile would again pass the tavern. but this time from the direction of Hornville.
 Lighting cigarette he strolled out side He had barely time to take a position at the darkened end of the porch before the sounds of an ap- preaching machine came to his ears. A second or two later the lights swung around the bend in the road a quar- ter of mile above Hart's Tavern, and down came the car at high rate of speed. It dashed past the tavern with a great roar and rattle and shot off into the darkness beyond.

Cultured Hindue

In Bengal there are about seventy millions of people, and they boast of perhaps the best culture in India at the present time. The language as a written language is only fifty years old. Though for over thousand years it has been dialect, there is m Indian history unfortunately no trace of Bengali having been an important literary tongue. The language has borrowed it's alphabet, grammar and vocabulary. There are numerous Per sian, Arabic and English words incor- porated in it, and the wonder of 1t IS that, instead of having been degraded into some vulgar form like pidgin English, Bengalf has become the most literary, scientific and perhaps the most philosophic of modern Indian languages.

THE CUT DIRECT

Synopsis.-Thomas K. Barnes, wealthy young New Yorker, on a walking trip in New Eng land near the Canadian border, is given a lift in an automobile by mysterious and attractive girl bound for a house called Green Fancy. At Hart's tavern Barnes finds a stranded troupe of 'sbarn-storming" actors, of which Lyndon Rushcroft is the star and Miss Thackeray" the leading lady. They are doing hotel work for their board. He learns Green Fancy is a house of mystery. That night two mounted men leave the tavern under odd circumstances. One is shot dead near by; the other is brought back dying. Barnes comes under suspicion. He stays to help clear up the mystery. 0'Dowd of Green Fancy says that that place of mystery is not concerned in any way. Barnes gets into the Green Fancy grounds and sees the mysterious girl.

 Having guessed correctly in the one instance he allowed himself another and even bolder guess-the little book agent had either received a message from or delivered one to the occupant or driver of the car from Green Fancy.

Tea Popular British Beverage.

Tea is the most popular of British beverages, and in spite of William Cob bett's lament that ''tea shops" were being substituted for wholesome small beer to the detriment of the populace in his day, "the cup that cheers'' is the staple drink of all classes. It cannot be said that there has been any mark ed deterioration of English people through constant indulgence in tea.
