SET THEIR MINDS AT EASE
Gases Are Numerous Where Wrong
doors, After Many Years, Make
Restitution to Show Regret.

The sting of conscience is not al
ways dulled by the lapse of time.
There is no more bitter penalty than
to spend ones life with an accusing
conscience, no more unpleasant mem
DRY than of a wrong done. That is
particularly true where 1t Is in the
power of the individual to repair the
wrong, to show by restitution that re
greet is real.
Conscience money is frequently re-
ceived by individuals and corporations.
There may be times when payments
come from individuals who are mental
~ afflicted, but in many cases where
payments could be traced back they
were made to ease an accusing con-
science, to right a wrong Of years ago.
There are other individuals who do
not use mystery, but who come out In
the open and pay debts long since out
lawed, many times forgotten. There
are stories of these belated payments
frequently printed, the last one coming
from North Dakota. where a man paid
a debt nearly thirty years old. He not
only paid the debt, but he paid interest
to date and cleaned the transaction up
as man ought to do.-Ohio State
Journal.

MADE RECORD ne WAS AFTER
Remarkable Performance of Engineer
on Hannibal and St. Joseph
Line Many Years Ago.

The first fast mail on a railway
west Of the Mississippi was run over
the Hannibal and st. Joseph line, n
northern Missouri railroad between
Hannibal on the Mississippi and ST.
Joseph on the Missouri. This road was
completed more than 60 years ago,
and in April a test fast mail run was
made The mails were then carried
overland from st. Joseph to Sacra-
mento, and, in order to get a govern
ment contract it was necessary T.
establish a new record for speed. TIL
locomotive was a crude affair, burning
wood, the rails were light. and the
track was not ballasted. Add Clark
was the engineer, and his instructions
were to make a record that would
stand for 80 years. Moreover, he came
near doing it--in fact, he did do IT, So
far as that particular railway was
concerned. The distance from Ham.
bal to st. Joseph is 206 miles, and the
fast mail covered the route in a f."
seconds over four hours, or at the rate
of 30 miles an hour for the run. This
included two stops for fuel, but these
were brief, for small armies Of men
were waiting, each with an armful Of
wood.

WIDE DIVERGENCE IN RACES
PeopIe of Pacific islands Furnish
Something of Study for the
Ethnologist.

The presence of two distinct races
of man in the Pacific islands suggests
two periods and sources of immigra-
ton. says a bulletin of the National
Geographic society. The Papuans and
Polynesians appear TO show the widest
dlvergences, with the Micronesians cc-
cupylng the intermediate ground and
possessing affinities of race, language,
and custom with the other two.
The Papuans may be generally said
10 inhabit New Guinea, the Solomons,
New Caledonia and Fiji. They are
fri eligious, democratic, quarrelsome,
cannibalistic, and hostile TO strangers.
They paint their bodies rather than
wear clothes, cook in earthen pots,
and their speech consists of a num-
Der of broken dialects. The PolyResi-
ans differ widely from the Papuans.
They possess an elaborate religious
system, an established order of he
reditary chiefs and well-defined So
cial castles. They are fond of dress.
are friendly TO strangers, are good sea-
men and navigators, and tattoo instead
of scar their bodies. and seldom prac-
tice cannibalism. They also possess
n common language, understandable
throughout New Zealand. Hawaii, Sa-
moa, Tahiti and the Paumotu islands

The boys had been playing ball all
the morning on the vacant lot next
door. Often there were many argu-
ments but always they were settled
and the game progressed. At noon
mother reproached Tom for his part
in them. 'What would you think If
mother would quarrel with her friends
as you do?" she asked.
"But you can't, cause you women
aren't good players" Tom explained
carefully. 'When you get mad over
something you just resign. A good
player quarrels it out and then goes
back to the game like we fellows did
this morning"
And the mother had no answer.

Scenes Set for Visitors.

In the little Barbary coast town Of
Bislra the Moorish coffee houses with
Arab customers and Turkish atmos-
phere seem like set scenes in stage
production, while the far-famed dane
ing girls obviously exhibit their skill
for the pleasure of the foreigner
alone. Without the foreign visitor
Biskra would be an ordinary oasis
town on the edge of the desert,
Since Robert Kitchens Garden OF

background, many people have come to
visit the scene of the story. Others
come on doctors orders, for the eli
mate is said to be beneficial to rheuma-
tism and other diseases. Others come
merely to see the sights, which are
widely advertised.

Dance to Attract Mate.

On some of the islands of the Pa
cific, in tropical South America, is
found the beautiful bird known as the
jacana. It is famous for its sO-callad
love dances, which appear TO be exc

alton of the female birds. When the
mating season approaches the jacana
