WAS THE FIRST CINDERELLA
Egyptian Maiden Said to Have Been
the Original of the Old and
Popular Story.

About 700 years b. c., there is said
to have lived maiden, who, though
not called Cinderella" was undoubt-
eddy the person represented in the
popular fairy tale. says the Montreal
Herald. 1t was during the rulings of
one of the twelve Egyptian kings that
this beautiful eastern girl, Rhodope
by name, came under the notice of the
then known world. Rhodope had re
markably small feet. One day, while
bathing in river near her home, an
eagle is said to have swooped down
and, playing the part Of the fairy god
mother, snapped up one Of her sandals
which was on the bank. Carrying
the little shoe off In his beak the bird
is reported to have dropped 1t imme-
diately in front of the king, and nat
urally, the little sandal soon attracted
royal attention. Struck by its size so
small, and the daintineSs, too, the king
vowed he would find out the charming
possessor. Messengers were dispatch
ed and the country was secured for
the foot that the shoe would fit. At
length Rhodope was discovered and
the shoe placed on her tiny foot. At
ter triumphal conveyance to the
kings palace she was made queen TO
her royal lover, king Psammeticus
of Memphis"

RIow.Resistina Paper Caps.

Astonishlngly strong paper caps, ca
pable of withStandng powerful blows,
though extremely light in weight, have
been invented by shipyard employee,
and are intended to be worn by work
men whose duties expose them to dan
ger from falling objects. The process
by which the novel headgear is pro-
duced has not been divulged, says
Popular Mechanics, but it is known
that chemicals are employed to hard
en- the material, without adding to its
weight. Several styles have been
made, the lightest weighing about sew
en- ounces, and others only slightly
more. In a recent test, a one-pound
bolt was dropped on one of them
from ii height of 40 feet, with the re-
suit that a barely preceptible dent
was made in the paper The novel
head coverings are proof against wa
ter and acids, and are poor conductors
of electricity.

PATRON SAINT OF HATTERS
Why st. Clement Has Long Been Ac-
corded Recognition by Makers OF
Head Coverings.

st. Clement is known as the patron
saint of hatters, because of his dis
covery for the making of a compact
fabric out of wool without pressure
or weaving. The story goes that this
devout priest, while on journey, be
came footsore and tired, and, removing
his sandals, sought rest by the road
side.
st. Clement was soon disturbed by
the bleating Of lambs. Looking up,
he beheld a fox that had just seized
one of the helpless young sheep He
cleared hedge just in time to destroy
the fox and rescue the lamb, in the
process of which act he observed loose
wool, which he gathered and exam
ined.
The priest was struck by the sud
den inspiration that here was relief
for his acerated feet. Binding the
yielding wool on his wounds, he was
able to continue his journey. On
reaching his destination St Glenn
ent removed the sandals from his
feet, discovering instead of the fine
soft wool a piece of unfinished cloth.
seemingly so firm and thick that he
couldn't pull it apart. He called the
matted material felt"
This accidental knowledge Of the
priest caused the basic principle that
underlies the mems hat industry.
November % has been named st.
Clements day and is Il red-letter day
for the hat manufacturers of many
countries.

introducing Martha PulmcT-A
P0rtia With Hair sun ol Gold.
Martha Palmer's beauty struck
me as marvellous every time l saw
her. Never had l thought her
more exquisite tnan the morning
when she came to ask about Mo-
Their Lorilnur and Bob. Her blond
loyliue.ss is so delicate and her
manner So feminine that it Is only
after l talked with her a while
that ever remembered that she
is about the cioyerest young We
man in our town.
In that connection l recall Dad
dy Lorimer's joking prediction
that 4 Portia with hair spun OF
gold ought TO win all her cases.
"MaTIha's blonGHtss makes her
intellect all the more astounding"
commented Bob. months ago, to
which | replied, naturally and
spitefully, remembering RATHER
ines yellow hair;
Friend husband. you ought to
be well posted On the relation OF
brains 10 tresscs!
Bob has always been very fond
Of Martha in spite OF the fact that
she is Il lawyer with more clients
than she can easily look after. Few
of our men friends really care to
talk TO 4 highly educated girl, I
think, but Martha Palmer Is hail
cd as u unique spccimun OF her
sex and treated like a princess
whenever she appears ut Il social
affair.
She derides openly the men who
flattcr her. | know that when she
talks to Bob she viii get tho exact
status of the chemical trade, and
Bob will feel awfully fattcred by
her interest in his business-but
not because she is a lawyer!
Martha has the sense never to
seem more clever than the man
she is talking to-" Chrys, the Gym
ic, has said; while Mistress Ann
I.orimer, who seems positively to
revere Martha as goddess, once
remarked:
Martha Palmer reads all the
new books but she never bores
you by talking about them"
Personally, I have always Won
dered what Martha and Ann do
find to talk about when they hap
pen to be alone together.
Martha used to consider her
husband and mine the supreme eX-
amples of chivalry. She and e
wnrt, Bob and l, used to go on joy
GUS innocent bats" together, u.s.
ually outdoor affairs, like motor
ing or golfing or tramping, We
had wonderful good times and I
was utterly wretched when Mar
tina went back to her profession.

DRY CLEANING.

A very useful article for cleaning
gloves is a wooden shape in the
form OF n hand.
Stretch the gloves on the wooden
bands and rub thoroughly with y
piece OF flannel dipped In gasoline.
The strokes should be downward
from fingers 10 wrist and care
should be taken to do this work in
the open or al least away from any
heat. A clean piece Of flannel
should be used as soon as a piece is
solled. When the gloves are abso-
lutely dry. dust them with talcum
powder. They will then be as soft
as when they were new.

COLOMA MAN TO BUILD
FINE GARAGE HERE

r. J. Clark, of Coloma, whom the
News Budget recently mentioned as
having purchased the corner lot at
Worden-av and First-st, will build q
fine, modern garage there next spring.
Dimensions of the building are TO be
60x10O, with full basement. Whether
two stories are built or not next spring
will depend upon prices of building ma
terials, but if only one story is built
the foundations will be heavy enough
to take care of the additional story
eventually. Brick or concrete blocks
will be the building material.
The building will face the south, with
a fine display room on the corner. En-
trance to the repair shop will be on
First-St.
Mr.. Clark has the Buick franchise
for Rusk county.
