ACCEPTED MANDATE OF FATE
Young English Soldier Proved Him. self Worthy When Called to Posi-
 ton of Responsibility.

When Rudyard I<ipliH@,s "1he Man Who Would Be King Waa published il was regarded as an excursion into the inprooablc. if not lhe impossible. It was the AIslo-SaXol ImagIaafion accepted ny the coIolful Hlndaslani civilization.
 But the sober chronicles of the war have outdone Kiplins. Thornezeroff, d #twenty-Mo-year-oa British aea. found himself stranded i'll Turkey after TaWnshond's iil-fatad offensive. Nothing d"unted. he accepted his pre- dicancnt as mandatory of Fate He proceeded to rule over territory con taining GO villages and 6000o people. and he ruled them until relieved by the martial law brought by AllenbyS troops. The son of a hotel keeper of Bristol, he proved at the test that he was of imperial fiber.
 Truth is stranger than fiction. It always has been and always will be, with Tommy Atkins or his first cousin, the doughboy, as protagonist. Each possesses the comic spirit that means adaptabilty, no matter what the emer- gency.

ORIGIN OF ''DiCKEN5 NAMES"
Pursuit Long FaVorte Amusement of the Admirers of Writer of
 Immortal Fiction.

One of the most interesting of semi literary hobbies is the search after the origin of "Dickens names.' It Is specially interesting, no doubt, because nobody can prove to demonstration that his particular "solution" is the correct one, and, as consequence, the long list of potential discoveries is seldom reduced much less exhaust ed. One of the latest Strikes" is possible origin for the old favorite, "Chadband." A recent writer tells how, few years ago, in one of the small hamlets between Sutton and Epsom, there stood small tailor's shop bear ing in large letters the name of Chad band" And he goes on to wonder whether Dickens, going down by road Dorking, noticed the name, and kept it for future use," for on that route he would have passed the very door of the shop The writer seems to think it highly likely; while, in proof that Dickens actually made the journey, was 1t not in the town of Dorking that there stood the Marquis of Gram by? And was it not the hostess of the Marquis of Granby who ultimate ly became, Mrs. Weller?-Christian Science Monitor.

FOUR ARE CAUGHT IN
 A MOON SHINE RAID
Officers Also Bring Back Two Big Stills FrOM Montgomery
 County.

Hot Springs, Dec 13-The 'sa- cred realms of the moonshiner in the sparsely settled hills of Montgom- cry county again have been invaded by "revenooers" and the ranks of the makers of mountain dew further thin by the clutches of the federal law.
 slis morning there were four addi-
 occupants in the county jail as
 asult of a raid made by United
 Revenue Officers Hail and Hop
 Ato the mountains north of Was
 5postofTce, in the northeast DOT c. of Montgomery county. The four alleged moonshiners who were brought in on the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf from Glenwood, are William Watson. l.. R. Reed, s. L. Quail and Abe Qualls.
 A fifth, Sam Scott, escaped from the officers at Womble by tying bed sheets together anG suspeEding them from the window of their room on the second story and sliding down.
 There is no jail at Womble and the officers were forced to keep their prisoners at the hotel. The sixth in arrested was freed by the officers wing to his age and feeblencss which would have made it difficult foH kim to make the long overland trip to the teilroad at Womble
 K he officers also captured two
 e stills and 150 gallons of mash = .dy for the run. One still was c srT gallon capacity and was made of ,'ioIid copper, The other outfit had d 50-gallon container and was mat from an old oil can The 5O-gallon still was found i" tho open necr the mountain trail, and could plainly be seen from the porches of the alleged moonshirers' homes. The coils were still warm ant fire smouldered under the boiler. A search of the home followed and in the supposed kitchen Of one was found tho great coppes G0-sallon still. The Kitchen" was without kitchen fix and the floor had been removed.

Iron Will Float Upon Mercury

Mercury is an unusual metal. 1t
is not solid, but liquid, a liquid so
heavy that iron will float upon it. If
gold ring or coin is dropped into
mercury, the gold will become covered
with silver coating. This coating
is amalgam, which is the name
given to all similar alloys of mercury.
The same thing would happen if cop
per or almost any other metal were
placed in mercury.-Boys' Life.
