process of creating new legends has
evidently not yet come to an end, it

counted the traditions of their respect

battle ship Montague was wrecked on
Lundy island as she was entering the
Bristol channel in a fog. The people
of the neighborhoOd, we are told, have
no doubt that she was lured to her
doom by the spirit of Sir Francis
Drake. She happened to be flying the

lanes. hills, woods, mounds and dykes.

Find Old Relics in Scotland.

Several large caves in Scotland,
which were used as houses a couple
of thousand years ago, have been dis
covered. Many relics have been left
in these dwellings. There are weav-
ing combs, whOrls and spindles used
by women, enameled brooches, pins
and colOred glass armlets with which
they decked themselves. Women's
and children's shoes were also found.
Besides these are household utensils,
wooden dishes and spoons. some lamps
and platters and pottery of various
kinds.
The men left tools and weapons,
plows, picks and rakes made Of deer
antlers, wheels and carts, harness
mountings and large decorated swords.
Prof. James Carl, who made the dis
coveries, declares that the Romans
who were once in possession of the
country taught the people TO make all
these things.

SETTLED HIS RIVALS HASH
Mans Remark Could Only Be CLASH
fed as Remarkable Inspira-
ton Of Genius.

Every man thinks all sorts Of
things about his rival. but not every
man Is genius enough to say exactly
the right thing to lower his girls
opinion Of the same rival. But re-
Gently a remark was overheard in a
downtown restaurant which proved
that one man possessed that ability.
He and his best girl were eating when
the other man entered the restaurant.
Immediately he came TO them, shook
hands with the girl and, after being
introduced to the first man, talked q
few minutes.
Now, the girl had quoted this second
man so much that his name to the
first man was like the sight of a red
flag. And she firmly expected a
stormy session when the intruder left.
But instead Of that the escort calmly
went on with his eating, offering only
one comment: There's one man I'll
never be jealous Of again."

workers are giving two hours of their

In Germany there are signs of the

in old England the following story
admirably illustrates the industrial
situation: Two miners were discuss

Change Means Growth

No man ought to be the same man
he was ten years ago. Nature teaches
us that We are new creatures by re-
newing the cells and tissues every
seven years. Yet in the midst OF
physical change ii is possible for a
man 10 remain static in the higher
things of life. He may be so constant
TO a youthful ideal that he is looked
upon as the embodiment of stability.
but he will soon be recognized as a
fossil from which life has gone. Life
is a growing thing. 1t must increase
AS soon as the sum Of its energy is re-
CURED TO keep up the repairs of the
human animal he begins 10 take a
place among those headed for the sun
set side OF life. Man is either growing
INTO bigger self or he is growing into
his fossilage. Man must change

He waited his answer, and Helen knew
he would wait until he got it. He was
