KIWANIS
By c. >PINKEY JONES,
Scranton, Pa.

TIWANIS is an organization
X of virile, progressive, right
= thinking, broad-minded
business and professional men.
It's membership is formed by the
careful and discriminating selec-
ton of the most representative
men in their particular calling
men, who by virtue of their God
given talents can be relied upon
to cheerfully cooperate with
their fellow members in actively
supporting the Kiwanis move
ment in its steady, unfaltering
march toward the attainment of
its high ideals.
IIWANIS is the practical APP
N plication of the principle of
the Golden Rule to our mod
ern every day life. The participa-
ton in its activities has a pro-
nounced effect upon each and ev-
cry one Of its members from the
time they are first initiated. It
penetrates the veneer and reach
es down into the real inner ma
ture of the man. It appeals to his
noblest impulses. 1t inspires self
confidence and reliance in ones
ability to battle courageously
and successfully in the cause of
worldwide moral uplift. 1t de-
velops the talents by its stirring
appeal for efficiency. 1t harnesses
the FESTIVE streams of nervous
energy, directing this mighty
force into useful and far-reaching
channels.
THROUGH fellowship, ac-
/ quaintanceship develops into
mutual understanding and es-
TEEN. Through friendship and
association with a common in
terest, a vast clearing house of
ideas, plans and projects is form
ed. From this melting pot of d.
versifed energy, brains and ex-
perience, there pours molten
metal of the purest gold, which
flows freely where it is needed.
A S A mighty river rolls ON in
its majestic course toward
the ocean, so does the XII
wanian expand in his capacity
for rendering service to his fell
low man. The further we pro-
coed in our Kiwanian activities,
the more devoted we become to
the great cause in which we have
enlisted. As we cast our eyes
about us, we witness the meta
morphosis of a once self suffi-
Gent. smugly satisfied profess
sional man into an ardent and
unselhsh worker in child well
fare campaigns; the evolution of
an unsympathetic and apparent
ly hardened man of affairs into
a genuinely democratic and tire
less toiler in benevolent and
charitable projects, and the trans
formation of a solitary and nom
communicative scientist into a
radiant personality of contagious
good cheer and fellowship. 1t
brings home to us, what the spir-
it of Kiwanis means to this busy
world today. AS the years glide
by we can see her circle of po-
tentiality constantly expanding,
and the achievements pyramid
ing far aloft into the deep blue
heavens.

Paul Donehoo, blind lawyer and musician, who Is in town on visit from Atlanta, gets around over the city and over the whole United States without any assistance, because he "hears" the walls and posts and every other material obstacle In his path. T can follow the budding line along the sidewalk by sound." he says. T can hear tree or post very distinctly. think 1t is a sense that every one has, but that one does not develop unless he is blind. I call 1t sound be- cause I find that when there is an overwhelming noise I cannot do it"

POODLE IS MAILS GUARDIAN
Small Kansas City Dog Dirty and Shaggy, but as Faithful as
 They Make Them.

He Is just little shaggy poodle, and as black as coal dust and smoke can make him. but he is very devoted to his self-imposed duties. He may be seen each morning waiting at the rear door of Post office Station c, 3O21 In dependence avenue.
 He draws no salary from the post office department, but is as regular in his attention to his task as though he were receiving the top wage.
 Someone is always at the door to admit him. Then, after casual in- spection of the office. he hunts up his chosen friend, Ed EaSton, carrier 1U3, and commences his daily duties as guardian and friend. He waits at each stop for Ed to un- load his mail and accompany him back to the station, staying till Easton goes to lunch. Then he will trot of to his own home for a rest, and at one o'clock may be seen on duty once more.
 Even Sunday mornings, when his | friend does not come to the office, he
 will run up to the door, wait patiently
 till he is tired, and then will disappear
 and not be seen any more till Monday Tt the usual hour.-kansas Cit! | TirOaS

 Called a Snecure.

The Rev. John Roscoe, rector of Ovington Norfolk, kept members of the Royal society wondering for more than an hour while he lectured on his journey through East Africa, where he went on a tour of investigation on behalf of the government and the Royal society.
 King George was amused by the travellers description of the royal serv- ants at Bunyoro, one of the places MT. Roscoe visited. He described their duties in his lecture in London.
 The kings chief cook has a very trying job" said MT. Roscoe. "The custom is that every morning he brings to the king a pot of specially prepared meat, with which he must walk all around the royal enclosure With his face whitened he enters the presence, and in dead silence throughout the court, which may no, be broken by coughing or sneezing on pain of instant death, the chief cook puts a piece of meat at the end of 8 fork into the kings mouth.

The Story of Our States
 By JONATHAN BRACE
 XXI.-ILLINOIS
 Mssssaaes5ssSm k KIA, the MS/G9V sSsssSsF1M oldest town in ISf E%AssSs sh (2N Illinois, is on llSl cSA sl5YHjj the site of all N eS21ssggS Indian village N @,s5ss%M and it was
 SS2gal here tn t Father Marquette, after his first discovery of the Illinois river, established Jesuit mission in 1875. Four years later La Sale, the French explorer, passed through the Great Lakes, landed at the Chicago river and pushed on to the Illinois river, which he named after the Indian tribes living in that region. Here he built a fort and sent his boat back to Montreal for further SUD- plies. When his vessel did not return he started home on foot and succeeded in finding his way to Montreal through thousand miles of tangled wilderness. He gathered together another expe- dition and returned to the fort, which he had left in charge of his companion Tonty. The fort he found in ruins, but finally suc- ceeded in locating and rescuing Tonty, who had been driven out by the Iroquois Indians.
 This riverway to the Mississip- pi became one of the leading avenues of communication be- tween the French in the North and Louisiana. French settlers soon located here and estab- lished the most friendly rela- tions with the Indians. In fact, though the Illinois country was ceded by France to England in 1763, the sentiment of the Indi- ans and French together was so hostile that it was several years before the territory could be oc- cupied.
 During the Revolution 1t was George Rogers Clark and his ex- petition into the territory north of the Ohio which captured Kas- kaskia and drove the English from this province. Various states claimed rights to parts of this territory, but these were finally ceded to the federal gov. ernment and in 1787 1t was formed into the Northwest Ter ritory. This tract extended from Pennsylvania to the Mississippi and was eventually divided into Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Mlchi. gan.
 in 1918 Illinois was admitted as the twenty -drst state with an area of 56,6& square miles. The state is one of the most level in the country and Is often called the Prairie State. Politically Illinois is the most important state In the Union next to New York and Pennsylvania as 1t has twenty-nine electoral votes for president.
