Hawk Makes Fatal Mistake.

The other day the family of B. p.
Malsbury of Imlaystown. N. j.. heard
a crash of breaking glass and dscov-
cred a bay window broken. and flop
ping helplessly about the floor large
hawk.
Knocked to the floor, also. was
freshly stuffed ringneck pheasant,
Which Russell Malsbury had shot dur
ing the cunning season and had just
brought home from The taxidermist ms
a gift for his mother. The stuffed
bird had been left in the bay window
while the family admired it. and the
hawk, probably sighting it from near
by tree, had made a 100-yard swoop
for its intended prey, only to crash
through the unseen glass barrier and
iniure itself fatally.

WORLD HAS CHANGED LITTLE
Like Ponce de Leon, People Today
Are Apt to Believe What They
Want to Believe.

Ponce de Leon didn't originate the
IDEA of spring of eternal youth. That
was not in his mind when he sailed
for the new world. He sailed with
Columbus upon the latter's second trip
and was appointed governor of Porto
Rico. where he believed gold existed
in abundance. While exploring the is
land he met an old savage, who told
MIN that not only was there gold to
be found In another country to the
northward but also there existed in
the land spring whose waters
brought eternal youth. So the rest
less adventurer set out upon his
search and discovered Florida.
All of which is stated not because
the information is new, but to call at
tentiOn to the fact that Ponce de Leon
believed the eternal youth proposition
because he wanted TO, remarks writ
er in the Columbus Dispatch. All of
rs. TO this good day, do the same
thing. We believe that which we de-
sire to believe, whether it is good or
bad We believe the scandals we hear
about others when we want TO be-
lieve them-and we reject them II we
do not want to believe such things of
the persons connected with the scan
dal
Further, we usually hear that which
we are DESTROYS of hearing. The willy
old savage wanted to get rid of Ponce
de Leon. He knew enough of human
nature and of Spanish nature to be
aware that gold-and youth-would
prove highly interesting to the invader.
That was what Ponce de Leon was ex-
pecting to hear-especially the story
of gold But the old savage. to make
the gold story all the stronger and to
lure the invader from the island all
the more surely, added the eternal
youth proposition to the story which
the explorer was expecting to hear
and thereby was he successful in rid
ding his island home of a troublesome
character.

Sunerstitlons.

The Woman's Press club gave a
party at an Indianapolis hotel, which
was followed by playlet. The
woman who had charge of the prop
erty list, in her excitement, forgot that
a broom and dustpan we're among the
articles needed At the last moments
as the guests were arriving, she
rushed downstairs and started to enter
the elevator with the articles The
middle-aged man in charge halted her
and said:
MADAM. you can't take that broom
up in this elevator"
She tried to explain that ii was TO
be used in q playlet and had been for
gotten, that she would tuck 1t away
in corner. and it could not possibly
interfere with any ones comfort on
the trip up. NO" he replied You
can take the dustpan all right but
woman. not for anything would take
a broom in my elevator. Why, don't
you know IT is bad luck?"
She didn't know it, but she had TO
get out of the car. and smilingly

RICH ASIA MINOR PROVINCE
Smyrna, Blessed With Fertile Soil
and Temperate Climate, Is Pleas
ant Dwelling Place.

The modern province Of Smyrna is
the most favored OF all the provinces
of Asia Minor 1t contains three of
the most considerable rivers of the
country, including the Meander, whose
serpentine course has given the Eng
lish language an expressive verb. Fer
tile soil and temperate climate have
added to the regions attractions, while
the possession of a port and city-the
city of Smyrna-unequaled by any 9th
er in Asia Minor has contributed an
other UNNECESSARILY important asset.
Though imperfectly titled during It's
control by Turkey, the province of
Smyrna has nevertheless been noted
for its fine fruits. For long time II
has furnished the best figs and raj
sins which reach the markets of Eu-
rope.
Poets and travellers have sung and
told of the beauties of the city Of
Smyrna throughout the ages. The nu-
cleus nestles in the lOwlands about its
harbor, and behind the city rises tier
above tier against the neighboring high
lands. Unlike many cities that have
survived for long ages, Smyrna has
retained the same name from the dawn
of history. This city should be dear
to the heart of the modern feminist,

SOUGHT TO REACH HEARTS
Doctor Holmes Literary Efforts Well
Described by. the Writer of
Authors and Friends"

Doctor Holmes social nature, as ex-
books, drew him into communication
with q very large number of persons.
1t cannot be said, however in this age
marked by altruisms, that he was al
truistic; on the contrary, he loved
himself and made himself his prime
study-but as a member of the human
race. He had his own purposes to
fulfill, his own self-appointed tasks,
and he preferred to take men only on
his own terms. He was filled with
righteous Indignation, In reading Car
lyle, to find a passage where, hearing
the doorbell ring one morning when
he was very busy, he exclaimed that
he was afraid 1t was "the man Emer-
son" Yet Doctor Holmes was him
self one of the most carefully guarded
men, through his years of actual pro-
duction, who ever lived and wrote.
His wife absorbed her life in his, and
mounted guard to make sure that in
terruption was impossible. Neverthe-
less he was eminently lover of men,
or he could not have drawn them per-
petually to his side. His writings were
never aimed too high; his sole wish
was to hit the heart, If possible; but
If a shot hit the head also he showed

Those Stories.

If a mother can select only one feat

home, surely the storytelling period
would be the best choice. There are so
mauy opportunities for stories at
home. They will serve as oil to the
machinery of bathing, dressing, eating,
and can accompany ironing, the wash
ing of dishes, hand sewing and the
like. The mother whose mind is well
stored with good tales will not lack

History Wrought in Stone.


History Wrought in Stone.
Chapter by chapter the entire his
tory of the Dacian campaigns is re-
vealed, with a continuity of thought
and a precision of historical facts and
verify of detail that are marvellous.
The building of bridges, the natural
difficulties of the country in which
the wars were fought, the methods of
siege and storm, advance and at
tack by land and river, in open field
and against walled cities, the details
of ancient military engineering, cos
tune, arms and all implements of
war, all these things are wrought there
with such a wonderful fertility of de-
sign and dramatic vigor of expression
as to form veritable encyclopedia
of Roman warfare of that period.
The whole of the column was origi-
nally covered with gold and color.
Brilliant crimson. blue and yellow were
largely used for the reliefs forming
the main shaft and must have pre-
sented an appearance of barbaric
splendor in the days of their pristine
chromatic glory. Nor was this drama
in stone enacted with Its Hamlet left
out The figure of Trajan is every
where with a predominant appeal. The
ideallzed emperor is presented under
all sorts of conditions that were cal
culated to rebound to his glory, as
the warrior leading his hosts, as the
master engineer directing the mechan-
ical constructions, as a leader of scout
ing forces, as a soldier sharing the
hard lot of his fellow soldiers, as the
''little father of his country" lead
ing, directing, encouraging by ex-
ample, at all times in the spotlight,
the soul of the army and the soul
of Rome.
