soLACE IN WRITTEN WORD
Society Linked In Chains Of Affection
Through the Periodic Visits Of
the Mall Carrier.

Lord Chesterheld's letters to his
son, RoOsevelts letters to his children
Paul's letters to the Romans-these
are literature because of their sage
advice, their splendid style and their
lofty admOnltlOn. But every letter
ever written is literature IN one sense
in the sense that It reveals life.
Little, thrObbing bits Of life taken
from one living human being and sent
to another living human being-that's
what letters are. That is why they
are always interesting. That accounts
for. the never-wanIng popularity Of
the mail carrier. For, as Douglas Jer-
rold said, there is "a stray volume of
real life in the daily packet of the
postman; eternal love and instant
payment"
Life blood Of human society courses
gossip a mother sends to her mar
rled daughter, the diplomatic appeal
Of college boy for a check from ia
Their, long love letter between sweet
hearts, or just hastily scrawled note
OF friend to friend.
Letters-maglc word They are
one thing under the sun that never
pals, that never clogs, that never
grows old or mOnotOnOus "The
consolation of llfe," said Voltaire.
"In a heavy, oppressive atmos-
phere," said Shenstone, when the
spirits sink too low, the best cordial
is to read over all the letters Of ones
friends" And Upper tells us that:
"a letter timely writ is rivet TO
the chain Of affection.

Hired Chief Prlestess

The old Greeks were def enough
in their creation OF gods and god
desses, but highly Illogical In the
treatment their super-belngs received.
One Of the best examples Of this was
the custom Of hiring the PythIa, or
chief prlestess Of the temple Of Apol-
10 at Delphi. At first beautiful young
virgins, secured from the families OF
peasants because Of the belief that
such girls would be more pure In heart
than the wiser city sisters, were
placed in the position Of chief
priestess.
Trouble arose when one Of them
fell victim to the charms Of a young
chap from Thessaly, and after an ex-
tended love affair eloped with him
To prevent the repetition of this, the
Pythla thereafter we're women OF
City or over, and far from good look
ing. Fearing that the handsome
Apollo might resent so hagglsh a col
lection of hand-maldens, the priests
dressed the bent old crones, or white
haired priestesses, in the garb OF
young girls, on the theory that the
costume would deceive the god.

at the very same instant, 1t seemed,
a small boat put off from the steamer.
Shortly afterward a blue-clad young
man, accompanied by young woman,
got out Of the boat, which sailors had
drawn up on shore, and approached
the group of castaways standing near

"What a wonderful manifestation of
faith" said the minister, as he turned
to his two friends. "Capt. Garrison
had a talk with me In the cabin and
told me about 1t. He met Miss Glen
well while on the way to South Amer
lea, and shortly after they reached
Argentina they read Of the loss Of the

himself to arrange searching expedi-
ton. He knew YOU still were in gov

Glenwell had told him; SO he offered
to command a ship to search for YOU
If the government would furnish the

The minister paused for one last
look at the fading island, which now
was nothing more than an indlstinct
streak.

BRITISH OVERLOOK THE MULE


The British lay themselves open to
the charge of being one Of the back
ward races by their refusal to rec
ognlze the virtues Of the American
mule. With the cessation of HOSTILE
ties the government has on Its hands
a surplus Of animals which 1t is Of
fering for sale, but the director Of re-
mounts complains that people don't
seem inclined to buy the mules, In
spite of the arguments advanced in
their favor as hardy, economical
beasts.
1t may be because Of their defective
early training that Gen. Birkbeck'a
countrymen fail to grasp the oppor-
tunlty offered them, observes New
York World. If from youth they had
known the mule as trusted compan-
lon wherever hard labor was to be done
they would never weaken in their
friendship. But merely as matter
of sentiment they owe him special af-
lection. He has helped lay the solid
foundation of British commerce In all
parts of the world. With nothing but
his bare keep as a reward, he has con-
tributed steadfastly to the wealth and
greatness of the British empire. Where
would the cotton industry Of Lanca-
shire have been II the mule oil these
years had not toiled In the fields OF

One Of the new institutions inaugu-
rated by His Majesty, Vajlravudh, king

Corps" In ancient siamese history
the "Wild Cats" and the "Wild Zig

for their bravery in war. VaJiravudh,
himself an athlete Of no mean order
and believing that an active outdoor
life would be Of direct advantage to
the young men of Slam, resuscitated
one OF these old-tlme companies and
grated upon It the discipline and pre-
cepts Of the American Boy Scout move.

T0llment of two or three hundred,
the corps today contains nearly every
young civil official In the kingdom. In
all, there are fifty companies, OF which

who drills with them and takes them
with him into the country on weekend
excursions for special maneuvers.-
