Olympic Games.

The original Olympic games date
back perhaps to the days Of Homer.
In the olden days the Olympiads were
the greatest event In the world. They
were the foundations Of the liee and
empire OF ancient Greece and Rome,
and made possible the triumph of
Greece over Asia, and Of Rome over
the world. The Olympic games were
first held in 776 Il. G. The name comes
from the site on which they were
held-Olympia in Ellis. not q city, but
small plain In the district of Pisatis,
nearly surrounded by lofty hills and
bounded on the south by the River
Alpheus. On this plain WIS the sa-
cred grove, called AltiS, supposed to
have been laid out by Hercules. It
was adorned with beautiful structures
and works Of art, affairs. statues and
monuments III great number, including
the Temple OF Zeus. This temple
housed the most magnificent produc-
tlon Of Hellenic nrt, the chrysophan-
tine statue Of Zeus by PhidIas.

that when the Germans conquered
parts Of Gau!. the land was parceled
out to chiefs. iieutennnts and private
soldiers. In return the holders Of the
lands promised military service when
needed. Some Of the land was given
to favorites. who were allowed to pay
III money Instead Of service. and tho
system was established. Rent was
certainly known in the days that Rome
hourished. there being Latin names
for rent under long leusehold tenure:
rent of farm. ground rent, rent Of
state lands and the annual rent pay

Clara Barton, the greatest woman

best friends to children In all time
1T has been tried and always It has
failed"
She had taught at Hightstown in
1853, and the fame OF her conquests
OF expertly bad boys had spread. Her
pupils were her champions and wher-
ever their enthusiasm could reach
some Of the general prejudices against
public schools were shaken. But Bor-
dentown was ten miles away.
The new teacher took 4 tumble
down, unoccupied building, with six
pupils, but In six weeks the place was
too small to hold half Of the little Bor-
dentowners who wanted, at last, to 20
to school. 1t had become-though no
one knew 1t then-an educational
landmark. The old structure where
She proved that there was life In pub

the future.
Since Clara Barton was the founder
OF the Red Cross in America. that Or
Eanization took the responsibility OF
buying the school when 1t was in dam

buy the site. Now the building has
been moved and the land on which it
stands has been donated.

stored the interior so skillfully that

NEW YORK, July 21.-The fruits

the American money now being in
vested in Europe.
1T will probably surprise many
people, to know that the German city
bonds appear to be in greatest de-
mand by American investors" says
this publication. 1.-THE reason for this
probably lies in the big profit pos
sibilities due to the low rate Of ex-
change, coupled with the practically
unlimited resources that makes the
degree of safety enjoyed by these
bonds unusually high. In this con-
nection it must be borne in mind that
most of the German municipalities
own and operate valuable real estate
and the public utilities, both of which
furnish source of revenue not avail

The British bonds are also meeting

Of cooperation:

they could go to cooperative shop,

Shaw the other day, in speaking be-
fore the Cooperative Society of Sun
derland, England. You have got a
tremendous movement-you have got
about one-sixth of the industry of
the country, and I look forward to
the time when you will have the
whole industry of the country. Then
the movement will have become a
part of the country continued Shaw
'The Ripley, England, cooperative
society loaned $4,000 to the Derby
Shire miners, and $4,000 to .*e
Motifs miners in their recent strike.
The Coalville cooperative society
voted a credit of $4,000 to the
miners union in that district. III
1.-THE Leicestershire miners organ
ization issued vouchers to it's men,
bers, which were IGNORED by the CO.
operative society for their face value
in merchandise. The money is to be
repaid, with no interest charged.
