Human Goodwill.

With all your exuberant goodwill
you haven't altogether got beyond the
theory that the first cave-dweller be-
slowed on his neighbor the bone he
himself didn't need, and established
the pleasant relation of benefactor
and beneficiary. 1t gave him such
warm feeling in his heart that he nat
urally wanted to make the relation
permanent. First cave-dweller felt
little disappointed next day when
second caye-dWeller, instead of COM
ing to him for another bone, preferred
to take his pointed stick and go hunt
ing on his own account. 1t seemed a
little ungrateful in him, and first
cave-dWeller felt that it would be no
more than right to arrange legislation
in the cave so that it should not hap
pen again. Christian charity is beau
tiful thing, but sometimes it gets mixed
up with these ideas of the cave-dwell-
ers.-SamueI NJ. CrOthers.

Stranger Than Fiction.

Among the advertisements on the
first page of an Austrian rural news
paper appears one traGesman's praise
of the beautiful fresh bread" he dis
tributes, and another tradesman's ac-
claim of the beautiful Cavendish ba-
nanas" he has for sale. After reading
further and finding with relief that at
least one individual deals in "beauti-
full art" in this day of post-pOstism,
one is naturally led to wonder just
when Lewis Carroll was exercising his
Imagination and when he was merely
setting down faithfully what he had
heard when he penned such poems of
praise as that Alice in Wonderland
lyric which concludes:
Soup of the evening,
Beautiful soup.

PIodders Have Their Uses.

1t is the men who have had vision
who have moved the world forward.
The rest of US are plodders. We are
good plOdders and we all do the best
we can, but we are really followers
in the footsteps of others. If we fol-
low well, and if we plod patiently and
tirelessly we also may claim our need
of praise. Also we shall surely be
given our reward-EXchange.

Machine Shapes Masts.

A machine has been built which will
shape masts up to 100 feet In length
and three feet in diameter. The tim
ber is set up in the machine and re-
volved at a speed of so revolutions a
minute, and it is shaped by a cutter
head which Is electrically driven at the
rate of zoo revolutions a minute. This
cutter head is mounted on a carriage,
which is moved along the timber
against a rail set to give the proper
profile to the mast Heretofore this
work has been done by hand and re-
quired skilled workmen. At best it
has been slow and laboriOuS task.

Red apeism.

A young detective was enthusiastic
but inexperienced. Rushing into his
chiefs office in great excitement, he
cried, 1--WE found the murderer I've
got him cOrnered so that he can't es-

whitening scoru. "AIlow me- he said,
Ito draw your attention to the fact
that at present we are looking, not for
the murderer but for clews!'

sNorN MAS.

There &c but three mats Of ivory
in existence. The largest one meas
ures eight by four feet and although
made in the north Of India, has a
Greek design for a border. 1t is used
only on state occasions, like the sign
ing Of Important documents. The cost
of this precious mat was almost In
caIculable, for more than 6,400 pounds
of pure ivory were used in its con
struction. Only the finest and most
flexible strips Of the material could be
used, and the mat is like the finest

Consequences are Implying. Our
deeds carry their terrible conse-
Quences, quite apart from any fluctua-
tions that are hardly ever confined to
ourselves. And 1t Is best for US to Ak
our minds on that certainty, instead
of thinking what may be the elements
of excuse for us. Sooner or later what
we really believe will work its way into
action, and what we think and what
we do will one day be in accord. That
Is one great danger of unrestrained
thought.

A quaint petition has just been pre-
sented to the French Minister of Pub
.ic instruction. At the famous cafe
de la Regence there meet daily and
nightly groups Of chess players who
nave formed themselves into an as
Bociation known as the Chess Fedora
1ion of the Cafe de la Regence. Here
the most important class champion
ships in Paris are decided. The COM
mittee of the association have just
approached the minister with the re-
quest that a series of chess manuals,
which they themselves have select
ed, shall be distributed with other
books as prizes at the end of the
school term to the pupils Of the va
rious lycees. The chess players are
anxious that a knowledge of their ia
vorite game should penetrate among
the younger generation, conscious as
they are of the Importance of chess
in building up character and forming
the mind. The minister has grant
ed the request, and France may eX
pect to see grow up among them a
generation of chess deyotees, just as
it is now nurturing generation of
football players.-Paris Correspond

HUMAN SKULL IS FOUND AND HINTS'
 AT A MYSTERY.
Found Under Filing Near the End of Main Street and Picked Up by
 Rev. Greeninq

What is declared by physician to be a remarkably well shaped and well preserved human skull, evident ly that of white man over 30 years of age, was picked up on the beach below the lower part of Main street by Rev. H. E. Greening, and which will be presented to the school.
 The forehead is high and well shaped, the palate nicely arched, the head, generally speaking, we'll bal. anced. indicating, according to the physician, a high order of intelligence much above the average
 If the skull were that of an Indian, it would be a comparatively easy matter to account for it, because of the shallow nature of many of the native graves and old burial grounds, but there is no way in which to account for a white skull.
 What mystery lies behind the find ing of this skull may never be known as there was no evidence near to indicate how 1t got to the place where it was found or whom the person was in life. It is just salvage from "The port of missing men,"
 The remaining teeth are in excel lent condition, and do not show any evidence of dental work.

Action by the senate or the house

said, referring to passage OF the kel-
logg wire bill in the senate, today.
There were no additions of companies
coming to an agreement with the union,
except the Montgomery Telefone and
Telegraf company, of Hillsboro, H., Mr.
Konenkamp said. The Federal Telegraf
company, operating on the Pacific coast,
signed last night, he said.
Appeal Sent to Gompers.
The only ray of hope, unions officials
said, was that officials of the Postal
Telegraf and Cable company might sign
the new agreement, thus keeping en-
pleyes of that company out of strike.
This hope was based on message from
the West, to the effect that the Federal
Telgraf company, operating line and
wireless plants ON the Pacific coast, had
met a union committee and offered to
sign the new agreement.
Mr. konenkamp today sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Samuel Gompers,

PEACE SIGNING
BEFORE JULY |,
PAPER PREDICTS
New Reparation Plan to
Be Embodied Feels
Out Foe S Means.

Paris, June 10.-(Havas).-The sign
ing OF the peace treaty by Germany
before July l and its ratification by the
various parliaments before August l is
predicted. today, by the Echo de Paris.
1t expects the answer to the German
counter proposals to be handed over,
probably, on Friday. The course of the
Germans, it thinks. will be to replace the
Scheidemann government by another. in
case the present government determines
not to sign the terms as the allies finally
present them.
The plan for reparations which now
is proposed in the council Of four. ac-
cording to Marcel Hutin of the Echo de
Paris, consists. first, in seizing German
liquid assets to the value of 25.00O 600
francs; second, to leave margin Of
two years, so that an accurate idea Of
the economic and financial situation in
Germany may be gained; third, after
two years to exact payment on account
of 1o5.000.O0O francs in gold or negoti-
able securities, and fourth, to give the
reparations committee authority to raise
the amount Of the annual payments by
Germany, should her capacity to pay
increase.

Bella KUN PROMISES
TO QUIT FIGHTING,
BLAMES IT ON CZECHS

London, June 1O.-Bela Kun, the
Hungarian communist foreign minis
ter, in reply to q message from Pre-
mier Clemenceau, according to wire
less dispatch from Budapest, agrees
to stop hostilities with the Czecho Slo
vaks, altho he claims the Czechs are
to blame for the fighting, because they
dsregarded the frontier fixed by the
allies.
The Hungarian minister suggests
that commission be appointed to set
tie the differences between the Czechs
and the Hungarians.
Bella Kun also expresses satisfaction
that the allies have invited Hungary
to the peace conference.
A dispatch from Vienna received in
Paris, Monday, reported that Premier
Clemenceau, as president of the peace
conference, had informed the Hunga-
rian government that attacks on the
Czehc-Slovaks must cease.
The message declared that if Hun
gary did not comply, the allied and as
sociated governments would decide to
take extreme measures" The report
made no mention of any invitatin to the
Hungarians to come to Paris.
