OF all the good times a woman has
sweeping and kicking up dust, the
cleaning she enjoys most is that which
she does on moving into a house just
vacated by another woman. II there
are only some old papers and rags to
pick up. she makes the best of It; but
where the woodwork has to be gone
over and the floors scrubbed, she al
most goes wild with JOY. There is NO
way of putting down printed words to
express the pleasure she gets out Of
saying, 81 simply had to get down on
my hands and knees with knife and
scrape up dirt and grease that had
dried on the floor" OF course, it's
hard work, but who thinks Of that
when there's a chance Of finding a few
fine big cockroaches and maybe
dozen delicious thousand-legRed
worms ?-Kansas City Star.

More than century ago the best
tobacco and the best rum came from
Aux Cages pronounced o. K.), and
the best Of anything was. designated
as Aux Cages, or o. X. This mean
ing of the phrase is still retained. In
the Jackson campaign every lie that
could be invented was invented to
blacken the generals character, and
an Endorsement that he had made,
"this is o. K" (meaning the best),
was taken by Seba Smith, and declared
by him to be but an abbreviation of the
gentleman's customary Endorsement Of
papers as "oil kerrect." The Demo-
Gratis took up this statement and fas-
tened the mystic letters to their ban
ners. The meaning "all correct"
stuck to the letters, and since then
they have been used In the two mean
ings of "the best" and "all right"

HUN FEELING is UNCHANGED
German Clergy still Talk Of Day Of
Triumph In Store for the
Fatherland.

The Glasgow Herald prints from a
special correspondent some interesting
information regarding the views of the
German churches on the peace treaty.
What, asked the writer, in the guild
ance offered by the churches at this
crisis In the affairs of the nationq We
are In no doubt as to its character. In
the Kreuz Zeitung recently Doctor
Conrad, one of the ex-kaiser's chap.
lains, wrote hOmily on the attitude
which religious men should adopt to.
ward the peace which Is being "dfc~
tated to Germany" He wrote: POS
sess your souls and do not despair.
God In his good time will turn our
sorrows into Joy. Is there German
man with the fear Of God In his heart
who does not realize that this humilia-
ton is but for time and that before
long the drama of the new fashion
ing of the earth will begin again?
When that time comes Germany will
rise supreme from the fire of her
trials. 1t was In 1901 that began
1t; that was the prelude; we are now
at the close of the second act. The
coming third act will give us our final
place and God will be with us. All ]
can counsel is this: Be patient. Our
hour is coming. Certainly, sign the
peace. for this will give us the breath
ing time we require and also time for
reflection"
In the Kirchen Anzeiger there Is
sermon by Stadt-Pfarrer Brockhaus,
headed what Is Now Our Duty?"
The preacher after denouncing "the
cruel and incredible terms" of the
treaty, goes on: "There is a revenge
which is holy and ennobles all those
who nourish 1t in their hearts. We
cannot sit down under the awful
humiliation. But we must wait Gods
time. We must wait for him to die

man people from weakness to strength.
he who once blessed our efforts In
our world mission is Furnishing us now
/ for our sins, but he has great work
for us yet and he will see that we yet
stand on the necks Of our adver-
sarles." All through these sermons
dealing with the peace and the pres
ent situation generally the German
clergy continuously exhort their
flocks to be patient, to be steadfast
! during the days of tribulation. In a
perfunctory sort of way they acknowl-
edge that tribulation has come upon
the people because of their sins and
; shortcomings, but the sins and short
! comings have nothing to do with the
guilt Of causing the war or with the
ineffable crimes committed by Ger.

The party at Mrs. Loves proved to
be a very large affair and from the
beginning Elsette became separated
from Dallas. Under tie wing of Mrs.

great many people whose names, Of
course, she did not quite catch. But
suddenly, quite distinctly she under

before her, smiling down at her out Of
a pair of keen blue eyes.

Rodger Cameron placed the last
book in the packing box and nailed
on the cover. Then he sat and gazed
about the little room, which looked
bare indeed, stripped of his few per-
sonal belongings. 1t occurred to him
just then to wonder exactly how many
hours of study and serious thought he
had spent in that small block of at
mosphere inclosed within four walls,
II feet square of floor space and ditto
of ceiling.
In the midst of his musing some
perverse imp, whom Cameron, profess
sor of psychology though he was, did
not recognize, delved down into the
depths of Rodgers orderly mind and
dragged into light some lines of verse.
The young professors lips, entirely
ION their own" as it were, repeated
them aloud:
Even as child who on the seashore
sits,
Taking unchallenged all each bright
wave brings,
So let me play awhile with life and
time,
Not thinking of the mystery of things.
Two facts concerning these lines
clung to the roots of them in their
rude upheaval: That they were by a
modern poet, and that they had ap-
peared some time before in a maga-
