And the purpose of words in diplomat

When the general met diplomat,

There was hesitation and equiyOca-

exclamation as he left the confused

General SHUTS may not wear shirt
sleeves in diplomatic councils, but
this use of the vernacular shows that
his verbiage at least takes its coat
off. The acid touch of a bit of slang
put an end to the prolonged ambigui-

Gather Wisdom From Others.

It's dangerous policy to consider
yourself above the ether mans mes
sage. If you're so superior your fell
lows will never be content to let you
sit in silence. Besides If you don't
want to listen to what's going on you
have no business there. Noise made
by you will interfere with the hearing
of those who do want to learn. You
owe 1t to yourself and others to pay
attention or at least make it possible
for others to listen. Besides there are
few people that can't learn from 9TH
ers. Don't be prig. Remember any
child can ask questions that will con-
found the wise. The ordinary speak
er may have ideas that need the polish
of q Gladstone. You are always q
gamer when you get the other mans
best. 1t may be help to you some

Learn to Be q Listener.

The man with brains in his head Is
good listener even if he doesn't
know what men are talking about. It's
q pleasure to listen when you're inter-
ested. The next best thing is to act
as though you were. That does not
mean that you are 60 act the hypo-
critic. 1t means that you are to put
yourself at attention and the chances
are that you will become interested.
You just must learn TO get interested
In what concerns the world. Disregard
what interests others and thereby you
make confession that does not count
to your credit. So even if you can't
confess the most lively interest, find
out what there is about the thing that
interests others and the result may be
q revelation to you.

METHODIST LEADERS
RETURN FROM FRANCE

Three prominent leaders OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
have Just landed in America, after
spending two months in Europe, where
they went for the purpose of investi-
eating actual conditions and deciding
upon a program for the expenditure OF
S., 900, 900, which sum will be allotted
to European upbuilding by the Cente-
nary Commission Of the denomination
The three returning church leaders
are Bishop James Atkins, Chairman OF
the Centenary Commission; Bishop
Walter Lambuth, who has been in Eu-
rope for nearly a year in the interest
of his church; and DR.. W. w. Pinson,
General Secretary OF the Mission
Board.
DIR. Pfnson and Bishop Atkins re-
turned to. the headquarters of the de-
nomination at Nashville the latter part
OF the week, and Bishop LambuSh went
directly to his home at Oakdale, Cali
fornia.
While the plans for the European
work have not been announced as yet,
the returning mem bars Of the commits
sion say that they have mapped out a
very satisfactory program and that
five million dollars Of the Centenary
fund will be expended in upbuilding
schools and churches in the devastated
lands Of Belgium. Italy and France.

with gold, some remains of human
bones and q gold signet ring bearing
the inscription, "Childirici." Here was
the key to discovery, for the presence
of the ring led experts to consider that
this was the burial place of Childeric,
king of the Salian Franks, whose capt.
tai was at Journal, and who died in
49,.
This conjecture was further strength
ened by an examination of the differ
ent objects, which were of such fine
workmanship that they could only
have been wrought for some great
chief or royal parsonage. The hilt and
scabbard of the sword were mounted
with gold, enriched with a mosaic of
garnets and other precious stones held
in gold clOisons. Gold ornaments in
the form of bees, and having the wings
outlined with an inlay of garnetS set
in gold, and also a small votive object
in the form of bulls head, with the
solar disk on the forehead, recalling
Mycenean examples, formed part of
the treasure, and on the ring bearing
the kings name was engraved the head
! of man with the long, straight hair
worn by the Merovingians, and with
the gold torque or collar round his
neck. Perhaps this was meant for q
representation, as near as might be, of
Childeric.
This rare treasure, after changing
hands two or three times, eventually
found its way to the Cabinet des Me-
dailles, Paris. In 1881 thieves, in an
evil hour, broke in and stole almost
the whole of it, leaving behind them
only the mounting of the sword, two
golden bees, a fibula and few stray
| fragments.

MUSIC'S AID TO MEMORY
Like Nothing Else, a Strain Of Music
Win Take One Back to Scenes
of the Past.

Have you ever realized the power
that music has to carry the memory
back years and years until the Illusion
Is SO realistic that when your mind
returns to its immediate surroundings
you realize with a start it was only a
day dream-that you were not actual
ly and physically where your thoughts
were? A few bars from one of the old
songs carries you back to the old
home. You see the fields, the river,
the "ould kirk" in the hazy distance.
You almost feel the evening breeze on
your cheek and hear the familiar
sounds-the lowing of the kline and
the bleating of the sheep. You're liv-
Ing again those dear old days Just as
wildly as you did long ago.
Or the strains of an old waltz re-
mind you of your first dance years and
years ago. You live over again the
days before the dance when Won were
SO busy getting everything ready
and then the great night arrived. You
remember your entrance into the bril-
liant ballroom. You saw all those old
friends whom you thought you had
forgotten until now. Then the excite
ment and the pleasure and the wonder
full dances-the people you met for the
first time and the faces you saw for
the last time. All this recalled by Just
few bars of music.
This is one of the reasons why mu.
sic has such great hold on people
and why its charm never wearies-
why some music no matter how old,
90 matter how familiar or oft heard
Is always new. 1t is a necessity that
there should be such music in every
home, and thanks to the ingenuity that
made possible the talking machine and
the player-piano the unsteady I'm.
trained are not dependent upon their
gifted and tutOred friends for this
blessing.-Exchange.

sons of foreign BIRTH" and the same
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon William B. Bankhead,

The introduction OF this important
bill means a great deal to the South,
which, because of its negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne a
reputation for illiteracy out of proper
! ton to that of the rest Of the coun-
try. Just what steps will be immedi-
ately taken as the result of the passage
of the education Of illiterates bill at
Washington cannot be stated at this
time but, certainly, practical meas
ures will be put into operation for the
establishment of schools in both rural

expend within the next five years over

classes in the Southern and Western
States. The church is to raise fund
of s35,0000 900 in an eight-day drive in
April, the financial campaign being a
part Of the Centenary Celebration OF
the denomination. The money is be-
ing raised with a view to putting the
work OF the church on a business
basis, the church considering its duty
to the illiterates here in America to be
among the matters Of first importance
which 1t should undertake. A survey
has been made and the result OF the
campaign will be the apportionment OF
SO, O00. 900 among the various illiterats

already completing its plans for fur
