LUMBER BACK TO NORMAL

Lumber has reached price level
where its value hears the true and
proper proportion to the value of the
products you farmers raise and sell.
In other words, lumber prices today
are consistent with the low prices on
farm products.

mand-and the usual Eclipse willing
ness to play fair with our customer
friends by reducing prices to point
where you can afford to buy.
Right now your problem may be a
barn, shed or other building neces-
sary to help you do your work better,
more quickly or more economically.
or it may mean new home, or re-
pairing and remodeling the old one

Let us show you the facts. We have
many plans and suggestions, some OF
which you can probably use, and our

A Flying Chariot.

valiant brothers, Robert and Charles,
mount into the air yesterday, in COM

VINO conducted them in the newly in
vented flying chariot fastened to an
air-balloon. It was from the middle
of the Tuilleries that they set out,
place very favorable and well-con-
trived for such public purposes. But
all was so nicely managed, so cleverly
carried on, somehow. that the order
and decorum Of us who remained on

these peaceful Parisians make when
the whole city was gathered together.

Modern Treasure Islands.

Situated in the Pacific ocean, nearly
midway between meric3 and Asa, Is
Nauru, a barren bit Of rock only
twelve miles In circumference. Thirty
or forty years ago almost anybody
could have habit for the asking. To-
day it is worth untold millions, owing
to the belated discovery that the whole
island is neither more nor less than a
mass of phosphate rock, soil fertilizer
well known to ag,'iculturists. In Con-
ccption bay, Newfoundland, is Bell
island, sold by its original owner
many years ago for S100. 1t changed
hands again for $2,0O0,O0O. This enor-
nous rise in value was due to, the dis
covery that the island is composed al
most entirely of iron ore. For years
previously shipmasters had been in
the habit of taking the heavy, easily
handled rock for ballast, dumping it

when they loaded up with cargo. Then

Look Out Upon the Desert.

Come to the eastern side of the peak
and look cut once more upon the des-
ert while yet there is time. The after
noon sun is driving it's rays through
the passes like the sharp-cut shafts
of searchlights, and the shadows Of
the mountains are frightening iii dis
torted silhouette upon the sands be-
low. Yet still the San Bernardino
range, leading off southeast to the
Colorado river, is glittering with sun
light at every peak. You are above it
and can see over it's crests in any d.
rection. The vast sweep of the Mo-
Jaye lies to the north; the Cole
RADIO with it's old sea-bed lies to
the south. Far away to the east you
can see the faint forms Of the Ari-
iona mountains melting and mingling
with the sky; and in between lie
the long pink riffs Of the desert val
leys and the lilac tracery Of the des-
ert ranges.-"The Desert" by @. Van

Boy of Twelve Forced to Show He
Was Not Afraid Of Death by
- He Own Hand.

who wanted theS sword that he might
disembowel the Russians and not have
to bite their threats In the hand-to-
hand fighting.

who must once in his life face death
make up his mind that he Is to die.
His own case, at the age Of twelve,
coming home from school, to find his
great uncle and his mother all seri-
GUS, naked sword on little wooden
rack, the house all In order.
To be told that he had dlsgraced the
family, he had dishonored his fathers
sword and killed dog. He would be
given the privilege of committing hara-
klrl for he was a samurai's son.
His great uncle gave him an object
lesson, showed him how it was done
and told him to proceed, wrapping the
blade in paper, that it might not cut
his hand, and telling him that he must
do as he had seen his great uncle do,
In earnest.
The boy begged for mercy. His kins-
man and Ills mother were immovable
Was he afraid to die? IL so, they
might help him, and the uncle put his
hand on his sword.
The boys tears stopped. He knew
his time had come and bowed He
opened his dress. rubbed his abdomen
three times. He put out his hand and
grasped the sword. He knew no more
till cry of Mate" (Stop) brought him
to his senses.
The reprieve at last. An instant
more and he would have been dead by
his own hand. He waited, dazed in a
death sweat His courage had been
tested. He had faced death.-Asis

CALLS FOR MANY QUALITIES
Archeoloaist Must Be Scholar, Lingu-
ist, Engineer and Artist, and
Expert Handler of Men.

The modern archeologist in Egypt
must be more than scholar. He
must have studied history, it is true;
lie must be familiar with what is
known Of the art and life of Old
egypt and he must have mastered the
ancient language so that he can read
the hieroglyphs carved on temple and
tomb.
But scholarship is only part of his
equipment. He must know something
OF engineering and something of draw
ing; he must have q sense of organl-
alton; he must himself be ready to
turn to with pick and shovel. should
occasion arise.
The task of disinterring ancient
structures and their precious contents
dn'njured is a delicate one, not to be
done hastily or haphazardly.
In addition to being scholar and
engineer, linguist and artist, the mod
ern archeologist must understand how
TO handle men. The men employed
IN archaeological excavation in Egypt
are usually boys from 10 to 20 years
OF age. Older than that, in a country
where men and women age tragically
fast, they are likely to be stupid.
Usually they are irresponsible and,

ACCORDED PALM FOR BEAUTY
Miss Harriet Lane Acknowledged to
Have Been the Prettiest Lady of
the White House.

], Historians are inclined to give to
Miss Harriet Lane, niece of President
Buchanan, the palm forNbeing the pref
test woman that ever ruled the White
House social life. She was blond
with hair of rare gold, deep-blue
eyes, and her mouth was said to be
one of the most beautiful ever owned
by Washington belle. Her beauty
was SO noticeable that at the dawn
of womanhood, when she accompanied
her uncle, then Americas representa-
tive in England, to Oxford, where he
was to receive the degree of doctor
Of civil laws, that the student body
greeted her appearance with terrific
cheers, inspired entirely by the smile
of her lovely lips as she turned her
f1owerlike face toward them.
Not only was she beautiful in line
and curve, but in addition she was
picture Of perfect health, an ath-
lete OF no mean order, as many q
young gallant discovered after she
mad challenged him to a race and
beaten him SO badly that spectators
Of the race numerically chaffed
him. She played many games with
skill and vigor, and there was not a
woman in Washington that could
compete with her in any game call
ing for strength and great activity.
In spite of this she was not unwom-
anly, and excelled as harpist, wrote
poetry, and, as the young people of
the capital reported, danced like a
leather"
