PRETTY LEGEND OF SILKWORM
Fathers Treacherous Act Believed by
Chinese to Have Brought Bless
inq to the Earth.

! The head Of the silkworm Is strik
ingly like that of a horse. There is
legend supposed to account for 1t.
In the olden days. when gods lived
among the people, there was man
whose prosperity had been changed
to poverty by the ravages Of dread
full war. He possessed but one treas
ure handsome horse which had been
brave and loyal throughout all trials.
In his time Of distress the spirited
horse offered himself for the work
of common pack horse, and one day,
when he came to halt, weary from
unaccustOmed labor, the man urged
him forward.
walk. my good friend" he said;
when better days come will reward
your faithfulness. My beautiful daugh-
ter shall be your bride"
The horse sprang forward with Joy,
and from thnt time was more faithful
than ever, and the mans fortune grew
better day by day.
The daughter was very lovely, and
one day the governor saw her and
asked her in marriage. When the
father proudly consented, he was SO
Indignantly upbraided by the horse Tor
his forgotten promise that the man,
In rage, killed the horse and hung the
hide with the head attached on the
garden wall. The maiden saw 1t and
the sad eyes touched her heart with
pity but the father laughed and ex-
claimed:
II promise again. Win and takeT
No sooner had the words left the
mans lips than fierce typhoon came
whirling through the air and caught
up the horses hide into its darkness.
The thunder god rolled and crashed
his whirling drums, tho wind god
loosened his hold on the great bag or
winds, and all the world was filled
with roar and tumult and terror. The
father called and called for his daugh-
ter but the beautiful maiden was gone.
AS the typhoOn whirled away, one
dark cloud drifted back from its inky
trail and fell to the ground, not
cloud, but the horses hide, and twisted
closely in its folds was the maiden,
calm and beautiful, but dead.
Then the father knew 1t was god
he had wronGed, and, deeply sorrow
full, buried the two together with hon.
Ors.
The next morning the sunshine glis-
tened softly on the grave. The dewy
grass was covered over with cloud
like silken web, and within the filmy
meshes sat numberless fairy spinners
with long, twisted bodies and gentle,
swaying horselike heads.
So came the blessing OF the SILK
worm to the world. - Indianapolis

BOYS PROVED THEIR HONESTY
Small New York News Vendors "Made
Good" Without Having Given
Promissory Notes.

One of the great New York news
papers pays an astonishing tribute to
the young merchants who sell its wares
upon the streets. This newspaper,
like practically every other, printed
an extra" after the big Jersey City
prize fight. When the papers arrived
at Times square the young man whose
business it was to sell them to the
newsboys, taking their cash in return,
found himself overwhelmed by an
eager flock Of youngsters who grabbed
the papers as fast as he could open
the bundles and raced away to dis
pose of them without going through
the usual formality of paying for their
stock.
Many boy could have kept all the
money he received as profit and neg
lected to pay for his papers, but, so
the paper declares, as soon as the
storm of selling was over the boys re-
turned to the neighbOrhood and set
tied, until the cash turned in was ex-
actly what it should have been for
the number of papers sent out from
the office Of publication.
That was only ordinary honesty, 1t
is true, but kind of honesty met
with seldom enough to be uncommon.
Yet it would be expected by those
who are familiar with newsbOys. The
newsboy doesn't expect to be cheated,
and he certainly doesn't intend to
cheat anybody. More power to him.

THE STORY OF HOME TOWN
PAPER week
BY NJ. v. ATWOOD.

Once upon a time a country editor
had great idea. This is not the first
great idea which has been evolved in
a country print-shop, but most of these
ideas in the past have been of benefit
to some one other than the editor.
But the idea was to benefit editor as
we'll as the whole community and ma
tion.
This was the idea: Why not have
"home paper week?"
We have had every kind of "week"
from soap to electric cleaners.
Taken together, argued the editor,
the country newspapers are quite the
most important in the nation, even If
judged by numbers; the ten or fifteen
thousand Of them make the four hun
dred big city papers and magazines
seem inconsiderable, indeed.
The reason most folks do not real
ize the importance Of the country
newspaper is because they think of
them individually instead of collective
ly; even the Atlantic ocean doesn't
look very impressive when you view it
merely as cupful Of water scooped
up at the beach.
So this country editor began to talk
about the idea and to write letters
to any one who he thought might be
interested. But like all great ideas,
it took long time for 1t to grow.
Finally company which has done
much to teach country publishers the
value Of system and of knowledge of
costs took it up, as did also the Ma
tiOnal Editorial Association; then the
state colleges Of agriculture saw its
possibilities because Of the effect on
community life; another great concern
which furnishes thousands Of country
papers with syndicate news and fea-
lures became interested; and, of
course, the publishers trade journals
fell into line.
Thus a great chain of interest In
Subscribe for Your Home Town Pa.
per Week" has been stretched across
the country, each Of the thousands of
country papers, Of which this paper is
one, a link in the chain.
November 7th to 10Th are the dates
set for Subscribe for Your Home
Town Paper Week." and all who be-
lieve in the home town paper, in It's
possibilities for helpfulness, for Great
ing community solidarity, for the cher
ishing Of the homely and sacred things
Of the country, are being asked to
help-to help, not because the country
editor needs charity, but because the
country newspaper Is a great service
agency, dlgnified, stable, worthy of
every cent which the community in
vests to make 1t possible.
So you are asked to help make "Sub-
scribe for Your Home Town Paper
Week" the big success 1t is going to
be. If you do not now take your home
paper, don't delay subscribing later
than the week Of November 7-12.

Settling a Complicated Question.

One of the queerest requests that

months is petition signed by eight
beekeepers at Kale. Mo-. asking that
owners of a sorghum mill nearby be re-
quested to screen the mill so as to
prevent great loss to the petitioners
because of the death of their bees af-
ter visiting the mill. After a long and
tortuous journey through federal and
state boards, the petition finally
reached the board of agriculture, and
Jewell Mayes replied that after care

the beekeepers have no recourse at
law, but are liable themselves under
the statutes prohibiting trespassing.-

Truth and Light.

Nothing is so mistaken as the sup
position that person is to extricate
himself from a difficulty by intrigue,
by chicanery, by discrimination, by
trimming, by an untruth. This in
creases the difficulties tenfold, and
those who pursue these. methods get
themselves so involved at length that
they can turn no way but their infamy
becomes more exposed. 1t is of great
Importance to set resolution, not to
be shaken, never to tell the untruth.
There Is no vice SO mean, so pitiful,

himself to tell lie once, finds it much
easier to do 1t a second time. The
