NO. it was Pat. He came along

Jim had commissioned Tom to call

feel a cool resentfulness that stead
led me to accept the strange new

been hurting me so only minute

FIRST COFFEE DRINKERS

[From the st. Louis GlobeDemocratl ]
Although Arabia is the land of cof-
fee now, a search proves that the
first coffee drinkers were Arabs
dwelling not in Arabia, but in Persia.
1t Is said by the Arabian historians
that q mufti of Alden, Gental-eddin,
introduced coffee into Arabia after a
trip that he had made through Per-
sia, where he saw men drink the de-
Coction of the brown berry for the
first time.
At first the Arabs were cautious
about it's use, and rarely took it un-
less they needed physic; for they look
ed on coffee as drug and not as a
pleasing beverage.
According TO Schehab- eddin, an
Arabian author of the early Christian
era, the first ones to make an extern
sive use of coffee were the Arabic
priests, who. having discovered that
coffee rendered the drinker wakefuL
used it literally in order to be able
to remain awake through the nights
of spec religious observances.
In Mecca the berry was not used
until IT. was introduced by the priests;
and when they did so introduce it
thoy, too, did it only for religious
purposes. But it was not long before
everybody was drinking it.

ing his words he might weigh also
the facts in the case. I'm sorry
my word, I'm sorry"
We had come to the entrance of
my apartment house, and both Pat
and l recognized that this was the
end of neutral territory for him.
; He caught my hand in his and look
ed me squarely and purposefully in
the eyes.
It's a darned rotten shame" he
said fervently. What you've told
me about West being Jim's partner
makes it worse-all along the line.
But Ill trust you to take care of
phoebe somehow. Goodnight, Mrs.
Jimmie"
AS l went in, the uneasy recogni-
, ton stirred me that Pat was scarce
ly any more enthusiastic over Dick
West as Jim's partner than he felt
about him in the role Of companion
for Phoebe. Well. this was pre-
cisely the sort of thing Jim and 1
could discuss in n straight from
the-shoulder, 'man-to-man' fash
ion, in our new relationship as good

thought of that. But it wasn't

Dear Betty and Terry! I gave
myself over to thinking of their
happiness. and then the memory of
the terrible unhappiness that was
impending for them came to lash
me. l couldn't escape the recollec-
ton of how l had kept the truth
about Betty's arm from Terry. And
so the hours dragged along until
midnight.

there stood Jim by the side of the
couch. l thought he looked angry
and as if he took my staying up for
him as an interference with his
newly established freedom, and so
jumped up and began to explain:
Il had something most important
TO talk over with you. Jim, so l
stayed up-like a good pal. It's
nothing to do with where you've
been or where I've been. Truly.
I've not the least curiosity about
what you've been doing. IL didn't
stay up to spy, you know that, don't

Jim studied me FOR a second with
eyes that seemed to burrow beneath

candid and impersonal, and stood

Food Kept Cool Without Ice

inches in diameter, and was lined with

eraI circular shelves slightly smaller than
the sewer tile, attached on above the other
by steel rods. These hang from a rope
which runs over a pulley block, and is
coiled on windlass provided with a rachel
and pawl. Thus the shelves can be raised
TO any height by winding up the rope, and
the food can be removed or inserted. The
topmost circular piece, or covef, of the re-
tigerator is large enough to rest on top OF
the sewer tile, which should project from
the ground far enough so that water will

Paved Road-St. Paul to Red
Wing Likely

In recent statement to members of tn.
Dakota County Commissioners, membe
of the State Highway Commission stated
that if the 'Babcock Law was adoptee
by the referendum vote at the next election
that the state would most likely spend par
o. the bond issue in building paved roao
from St. Paul to Red Wing. He seemed
to think that road along the Mississippi
through to Chicago, is one that is badly
needed and one that will come in time.
The "Babcock Law will come up fo
ratification by the people at the next cleo
tion. Under this law the state will be al
lowed to issue bonds for 5000, 600 900 fo
roads. This money is not to be spent al
at once, but spread out over number O
years. An increase in automobile licenses
will meet large portion of the money ex
pended under this law.
If the law goes into effect it means tha
Minnesota will have one of the best systems
of paved country roads of any state in tn.
union. All state roads leading into county
seats will be paved as we'll as good many
other roads.
All paving that is being done now viii
be paid out of the fund, providing the Law
is carried. That means that Dakota, Ram
sey and Rice couties will be refunded ths
money they have spent in paving Jefferson
Highway. 1t is also likely that under thi
law that the Jefferson Highway will b
paved all the way from the Iowa line to thu
Twin Cities and probably further.
The new road from La Crosse to St. Paul
which has been designated as Fedora
road, and will receive Federal aid, will b.
known as Mississippi Scenic Highway. in
stead of Yankee Doodle Highway. This
road under the present plans will come
down through St. Paul and Inver Grove
and hit the Rosemount road just this sid.
of Rich Valley. 1t will 60 out through
Hastings on the Cannon Falls road ane
down to Red Wing, via Miesville.
The "Babcock Law" which will max.
this road possible, seems to be assured O.
passage. The people all over the country
are awaxing to the need of good roads anc
Minnesota is not going to be any behind ir
building highways. Good roads are ths
connecting link between the town people
and the country people. The community
that has good roads is happy and prosper.

roads are good and the city derives the

Magic Ointment

An ancient fable told of grace
In magic salve of mystic leaven,
Which, touching eyes, revealed the face
Of brooding beauty that is heaven.
The fable is but deathless truth:
Ask of love, faith, and age-and youth
He Who has helped the blind to see;
He Who has raised the halt and lame,
Or served a wretch in Galilee
A cup of water in His Name
Lo, his loves look has pierced the skies
Gods magic ointment clears his eyes!

Keeping Pictures Straight
on Wall

Nothing looks worse in room than to
see several pictures tilted slightly to one
side. 1t is surprising how easily pictures
shift when hung in the ordinary manner.
If, instead, the picture is first hung facing
the wall, then turned around without being
taken down, it will not shift from its prop
er position. Turning the pictures gives the
cord twist which creates sufficient friction
to keep the cord from sliding. This meth
cd can be used, regardless of whether the
picture is hung from moulding or from a
hook screwed into the wall.

The men that are faint with the strife.
But turn not away from their smiles nor
their tears,
Both parts of an infinite plan;

And be friend to man.

Ard mountains of wearisome height;
That the road passes on through the long
afternoon
And stretches away to the night.
But still l rejoice when the travellers re-

And weep with the strangers tha,
Nor live in my house by the side of the

Let me live in my house by the side OF the

Where the race of men 60 by;
They are good, they are bad; they are weak;

Wise, foolish-so am l.

Or hurl the cynic's ban?

And be friend to man.
