him as a foreign enemy. Thus, all
unknowing. Oedipus had made true
the word Of the prophet, spoken be-
fore his birth. But he did not realize
that he a slain his father, the King
OF Thebes. Great was his surprise,
therefore, to learn hat the King OF
Thebes was dead and that the crown
OF that kingdom was offered to any
man who could answer the riddle of
the Sphinx.
The Sphinx was a strange monster
with the face of q woman. and the
body and claws of a lioness. She
crouched on a hill near Thebes wait
ing to pounce upon and kill all the
men who should pass by. because none
OF them could answer her riddle.
When Oedipus heard of the harm this
creature was doing to men he deter
mined to rid the country Of the
Sphinx. SO he went boldly UP to the
monster and said: Tell me your
riddle"
Then spoke the Sphinx: '.There is
q wondrous creature and its like is not
found on earth, in air or in the water.
AT first 1t goes on four legs, then it
goes on two legs and in the end it
goes on three legs. What is TT"
ut is Mani" cried Oedipus. And in
truth! In infancy man crawls on all
tours, then he walks on two legs and
in old age he leans on a stick as a
sort of a third leg. When the riddle
was guessed the Sphinx cast herself
over the side of the hill and was
crushed to pieces on the rocks below.
Great was the rejoicing Of the people
of Thebes as they welcomed Oedipus
and crowned him as their king.
One day Oedipus discovered that he
was really the son of the man he had
killed. The sunshine went out of his
life and he was haunted by the awful
ness of the crime he had committed.
He gave UP his throne and wandered
blindly about the country, clothed in
beggarly rags. Nothing could console
him nor protect him from the pricking
of his conscience. But his last days
were made easier by the kind care OF
his loving daughter who never forsook
him, but accompanied him wherever
he journeyed and comforted him and
helped him.

How Money Goes.

"Geel", complained young man
to gray haired friend, "a fellow can
shoot a dollar a day for smokes and
pool and never know what happened

Then did the gray beard speak:
"Sure, you not only can but do "a
dollar for smokes you do not need
and pool you'd be better off without.
Listen to this. Sonny. Instead of
blowing dollar a day, give me a
dollar day for 10 years and then
after that | will pay you a dollar a
day as long as you live"
Figure 1t out and you will discover
that it wouldn't besuch a bad bargain
for either of them for in ten years the
young man would pay over $3.50 and
this placed at work earning interest
would mean at least s5O00--and in
addition the young man would have

1t is habit that pays dividends aud

sleeper consisted of Colonel Temple

months old baby. When all who in
