LIGHT THAT YET SHALL DAWN
Glorious Sign Promised. to Denote
That All Men Are Determined
to Be Free.

Look you, while ago was the light
bright about US; but it was because of
the moon, and the night was deep not
withstanding, and when the moonlight
waned and died and there was but a
little glimmer lin place of the bright
light, yet was the world glad because
all things knew that the glimmer wa;
Of day and not of night. Look you,
an image of the time to betide the hope
of the fellowship of men. Yet for
soOfh, it may well be that this bright
day of summer which is now dawning
upon us is no image of the beginning
of the day that shall bes but rather
! shall that day-dawn be cold and gray
and surly; and yet by its light shall
men see things as they verify are,
and no longer enchanted by CLEAN of
the moon and the glamor Of the
dreamtide. BY such gray light shall
wise men and valiant see the
remedy. and deal with II, real thing
that may be touched and handled, and
no glory Of the heavens to be wor-
SHIPPED from afar off. And what shall
1t be, as / told thee before, save that
men shall be determined to be free

Franklin Had His Doubts.

The following speech was made by

which adopted the United States Con-
stitution:
"Mr. President, I confess that I do
not entirely approve this Constitution,
but I am not sure that / shall never
approve It. have experienced many
instances Of being obliged by better In
formation or fuller consideration to
change opinions even on important
subjects which I once thought right
and found to be otherwise. In these
sentiments agree to this Constitution,
with all its faults, II they are such. I
doubt; too, whether any other conven-
ton we can obtain may be able to
make q better Constitution. The opin-
ions / have had Of its errors / sacri-
flce to the public good. / cannot help
expressing a wish that every member
of this convention who may have OBJ
jections to 1t would with me on this
occasion doubt little of his own in
fallibility and to make manifest our
unanimity put his name to this instru-
ment."

Slams Amazon Guard.

Siam is one of the few countries
which boast of corps Of women po-
lice. The members of this amazon
guard are all old and homely. They
wear uniform. but are not armed.
Their chief duty is to act as gate
keepers OF the inner, or women's pal
ace at Bangkok.
They follow any stranger who enters
the palace and remain with him until
he takes his departure. They see that
there is no mischief made and that no
one makes love to the royal wives and
women. Men who have business inside
the .palace-doctors, architects. car
penters, electricians, etc.-enter the
palace freely, but are always accom-
panied by some Of the amazon guard.
The palace has some difficulty IN re-
cr,Iiting these guards, as the work Is
hard, the pay poor and the qualifica-
ton uncomplimentary.

BEYOND PUNY Man
Before Volcanic Eruptions He
Is Helpless.
Fact Made Manifest by the Indiffer-
ence Which He Goes About His
Business After the Disasters
s# Have Passed. @#

Under no circumstances does man
q volcano sends forth its torrents. As
q figure of speech, man may consider
himself to be puny creature. but his
working opinion of himself is by no
means so small. In Java the earth
groaned. and $4,000 people were wiped
out of existence like so many ants.
Perhaps only 10000 were killed: per-
haps it was 10000. No one will ever
know; no one will ever be concerned
in the matter beyond the desire to ar
rive at reasonable guess as to the
loss of life. It will always be vague
numbers. The Javanese who persisted
were indeed puny creatures, whose
memory will be nothing more than a
mathematical approximation.
As far back as man has q history
. there are details of volcanic eruption
manlike fashion in which this world
of ours was made. Pompeii and Her
culaneum are household words to peO-
pie who do not know where Vesuvius
stands, but Stabiae. which was in
quilted with them, seems to have es-
capped literary notice. Between We
suvius and Pe|ee there are few who
have any knowledge of the volcanic
catastrophes that have suddenly over
whelmed thousands of human beings
Messina still fingers vague in the pub
lie mind, and Pelee, by reason of its
comparatively close proximity, can be
recalled, although one must ordinarily
consult books of reference to deter
mine whether the loss Of life was 30.
600 or 100000. The Krakatoa erup
ton, which took place in 1888 on the
Sunda sea not far from the Kalut ex-
plOsion. has been studied for years by
scientists, but the fact that 10000 per-
sons were killed is an inconsequential
detail. The KrakatOa explosion is not
remembered because it caused 10000
deaths, but because it OccasiOned some
puzzling atmospheric phenomena. Sou
friere, a neighbor of Mount Pelee, has
q long record of disaster, in which
the mortality figures are usually over
looked. The fact that the explosion
was heard I'm South America, while il
was not heard at distances of 20 miles.
Is considered Of much more impor-
lance. Soufriere, 1t may be recalled.
was in eruption at the same time as
Mount Pelee, but on this occasion 1t
killed less than 1,500 persons. Per-
haps for this reason 1t is never men,
toned.
Before the volcano man stands help
less, and he recognizes this fact by his
indifference. He buries his dead and
goes about his business. As In the
case of the Messina disaster, he only
waits for the ground to cool, when he
goes to work imperturbably raising his
crops on the dangerous mountainside.
In the meantime he tries to crafty his
taste for information by studying vol
canoes, but without any hope of being
able to protect himself.

Norman Kings

The names Of the early dukes Of
Normandy, as well as their family
history, are known bit very dimly ;
and it may be as well that It should
be So, for their descent does not seem
to have been as orthodox as 1t might.
Be that as 1t may, the dukes appear,
In such reliable annals Of their times
as we possess, under their Christian
names only.
Thus, William l Of England (Wil-
liam II of Normandy was the illegiti-
mate son Of his predecessor, Robert
the Devil, and Of young woman of
Falaise, tanners daughter named
Arletta, or Gas some say) Herleva.

Best to Secure Proof.

Life's big business is to prove
things. There's much small chatter
whenever people get together, but 1t
may easily end at that. The truly big
issues of life demand the fullest proof
and the most rigid security. So the
man who takes things for grantedssub-
jects himself to disappointments and
makes little o. no progress. AS mat
ter Of fac' there Is very little that one
dare tax. for granted. Life has so
many executions, so many contingen.
cies that one can never tell Just what
will happen next. So the wise man
will take nothing for granted. He will
prove everything and base his future
on what he has learned to trust. Az
ter all, that's'the only safe way to do.

LIVED LONG WITHOUT FOOD
Many Cases OF Genuine Fasting Re-
corded Among the Many That Were
PaIpabiy Fakes. q

When the cupboard is bare, and
housekeeping funds are low. the poor
taxpayer thinks of the fasting of the
Carthusian monks, and wonders if
that is the practical answer to his
problem.
Apart from the obvious tricksters of
the travelling fairs, there are many
notable cases Of genuine fasting.
In the year 1347, Cicely Lidgway was
charged with the murder of her hus'
band, and in order to impress the
judges with her innocence, she tasted
