Big HIGH SCHOOL
DELEGATION AT
CHURCH TONIGHT
ALL THE LOCAL LODGES WERE
WELL REPRESENTED AT
LAST NIGHTS LODGE
NIGHT" SERVICE AT
PRES. REVIVAL.

All arrangements were completed
this morning for High School Night"
at the Presbyterian church tonight
at 1880. Rev. H. V. Carson, the evan
gelist from Knoxville, Tenn, made his
final visit to the High School chapel
this morning, where he received by a
show of hands the splendid assurance
that more than half of the student
body will accept his invitation to be
"Honor Guests" at the revival tonight.
Many members of the faculty will all
so attend. Seats will be reserved for
the entire delegation and Greenwood
will be given a sample of first class
High School chorus singing. Mr.. Car
son is an enthusiastic booster of the
Modern High School idea and says
that he considers his opportunity to-
night rare privilege. He is profuse
in his appreciation of the cordiality
with which he has been received by
both teachers and pupils of the Green
wood schools.
Last nights attendance was in
many ways the most remarkable of
the Revival, said Mr.. Carson this
morning. when we remember that
for weeks in advance, our good Meth
odist friends had planned their big
mems banquet for last night and that
the Rotary Club also met for supper
and business session and that the
city council held its regular meeting,
we are very deeply gratified
over the fact that the Revival audi
ence overflowed into the Sunday
School Auditorium. But best of all,
we are profoundly thankful to God
for the number of grown men who
confessed Christ.
The preacher held the closest at
tention of his audience throughout the
address on "The Worlds Most Fa-
NOUS Stone. In his sermon he declar-
ed that as the chief corner stone Of
the Temple of the Brotherhood Of
Christ, Jesus is the worlds most ia.
nous stone, Rejected indeed Of men
but with God elect, precious. The
sermon outline dealt with Christ first
as "chief corner stone, second as q
precious stone, third as Living
stone, fourth as "stone with sever
eyes, denoting perfect wisdom, anc
| fifth as "stone of stumbling" OF
Crock of Offence" The evangelist
plead with his audience not to allow
the 'chief corner stone" Of salvation
| to become a "dead-fall" of damnation
| He cited the Masters own warning
| that "whoever shall fall upon thi'
stone shall be broken" while "on who
soever it shall fall, it will grind hin
to dust.
| AS an invitation sermon OF song
Mrs. Carson sang in her appealing
manner aThe Heart that was Broker
for Me-. Many responded to the ap
peal by signing the cards either o
confession or conservation.
| This afternoon at $3.50 the evange
list interpreted the fourth petition o
the Lords Prayer, "Give Us This Da.
lOur Daily Bread The afternoon ser
vices are of deeply spiritual natur
| and many have expressed sense o
their uplifting power. All Christian
are especially invited to these forty
, five minute services.

GRATITUDE.

The minister's salary was very
low indeed and the village doctor
who was on the church board, by
hard work finally had it raised. He
went home much elated over the ac-
complishment and boosted to his
wife and children over it. Not once,
but for many days did he do this.
Then one day the stork visited
the minister's home and again the
doctor went home to give his family
the parsonage news. His little son
listened attentively. Then he grew
excited. 'FYou did get paid for
helping raise his salary" he ex-
claimed admiringly to his father.
IF he hadn't got that extra money
the preacher never could have
bought that baby of you. Indian

Naturalist Gives His versl m Of How
the Present Day Art Probably
Had it's Origin.

Writing in the Worlds Work Carl
Akeley, naturalist and explorer, tells
of his experiences with taxidermy
in the early stages:
I have a notion that the first @a-
scum taxidermist came into exist
ence in about this way: One of our
dear old friends, some old-fashioned
closet naturalist who knew animals
only as dried skins and had been
getting funds from some kind-heart-
ed philanthropist, one day, under
pressure from the philanthropist,
sent around the corner and called in
an upholsterer and said: "Here is
the skin of an animal. / want you
to stuff this thing and make it look
like live animal" The upholsterer
did it and kept on doing it until the
scientist had little more money
given to him for work. After
while the upholsterer became ambi-
tious and had an idea that these ami
mails might be improved upon, so he
began to do better work. But it took
more time and cost more money, so
he lost his job.

HEARsE FOR RABBIT HUTCH.

A new use for old hearses has been
discovered by Albert P Hamm of
this village, who says that the one
he owns makes an ideal hutch for
rabbits, the Dummies seeming to feel
pompous in their new quarters, ac-
cording to dispatch from Sodus,
N. Y, to the Boston Globe. For
years the old hearse body did steady
service in the village.
When the hearse became obsolete
it was discarded and was out of ac-
ton for some time. Now in a new
role it becomes the most aristocratic
domicile of domestic cottontails IN
Wayne county. The only alteration
necessary was the removal Of side
panel and the substitution of fine
mesh screen.

Napoleon Said to Have Had His First
Love Affair at the Tender
Age of Six.

Napoleon had a love affair before
he was six years old. The affair
began shortly after the young Cor
sican was placed in school, and the
object Of it was a pretty little Ital-
ian maiden named Giacominetta,
who had that unusual gift among
italian women, hair Of richest gold.
Napoleon was attracted to her the
moment he first saw her, and his
affection was as warmly returned.
Napoleon abandoned all games
and sports of his playmates, as did
the little Giacominetta. They took
long walks hand in hand, or stood
for hours by the side of river and
unused over the childish love that
was filing their lives. Their play
mates resented their aloofness, and
began a series of prosecutions and
sneers and taunts, but neither Napo-
leon nor the girl appeared to even
hear their remarks, and were in no
wise abashed. The affair continued
until Napoleon was taken from the
school.

BEAVERS USE BOATS.

The manager of DR.. Neville Lind
says ranch near Calgary, Alberta,
Canada, declares beavers are the
cleverest animals in the world. Ad-
joining the ranch is a slough on
which boat is kept and at one end
is a grove of trees running down to
the water. There is no current in
the slough, so ordinarily the beavers
have to push the tree lengths which
they cut along the surface to their
dam with their noses. The manager
AYERS that they have changed their
habit and that now they unite the
boat, nose it to the other end, fill it
with logs, nose it back to their dam,
unload it and tie it up again.

NO LONGER SLEEPY HOLLOW
Village Made Famous by Washington
irving Has Changed With the
Progress of Time.

Lovers of the quaint tales of
Washington Irving that were cen
tered around Sleepy Hollow will re-
member his descriptions of the peo-
pie and the times as were indicative
of the name of the village itself.
They may also be interested in the
Sleepy Hollow of today. Although
the ''fat meadow lands, the rich
fields of wheat, of rye, of buckwheat
and Indian corn, and the orchards
burdened with rudy fruit are still
to be found, there is a distinct
change in the fare offered at the vii
lage inn and its manner of being
offered.
In the self-same spot where once
stood Herr Van Tassel's farmhouse
one may yet obtain chicken-chick-
en- a la king-and lobster la some
thing else, and forbidden juices in
a teacup, or even partake of his own
hip-pocket highball, if he be so for
tnnate as to have one with him when

of the jazzy roadhouse that now
adorns the old Dutch homestead.

before whom she appeared.

because he found it useful for stuff
ing Boots. A parallel is cited by a

artisan, during his dinner-hour, was
observed to be reading a Methodist,
periodical. Hence the following
dialogue:

NO ~PRoFITEERING" IN THIS
owner Of Marketed Calf Probably Cen.
sidered Herself Lucky to Escape
Loss In Transaction.

After all expenses were paid, the
sswidow's mite for calf sold at the
indianapolis stockyards a few days
ago was 80 cents and this eliminated
the widow from the class OF prof
iteers.
The first bid for the calf, hide
and all, was $3.50, not enough to
pay the expense of marketing, which
was $1.00 to the truckinan for haul
ing the calf to market, so cents
to the commission merchant for SELL
ing the calf, IL cents to the stock
yards company for yardage and 8
cents to Uncle Sam for war tax,
in all $1.7O.
If the calf had been taken back to
the owner, widow living on farm
near Indianapolis, the round trip
truckage charge would have been
$500 and if the calf had been sold
at the first bid of $1.50 the widow
would have TO make up the differ
ence of 20 cents in the charges for
marketing, besides being tout" one
calf.
The calf was finally sold for $3.50
and the widow realized so cents for
her share.-Indianapolis News.

SOUGHT WATER; STRUCK AIR
Well Diogers Did a Good Job, Though
Results Were Not What They
Had Expected.

It is said that near Thompson
Falls, in Montana, there exists a
well whence issues steady flow of
air. During the hottest days Of sum-
mer, it is reported, the temperature
of this curious well never rises above
IS degrees, according to the New
York Herald.
The man owning this well has put
it to a good use, for over it he has
built refrigerating house in which
to keep the food for family use.
From the well to his store he has
also laid pipe and through this
comes the damp air of the well. The
end Of the pipe opens into a refrige-
rating room of the store, so that
this man needs no ice to keep his
perishable merchandise in the best
of condition always.
1t seems that the well is not nat
ural one; that it was dug for the
purpose Of supplying water, but that
when bottom was reached instead OF
water the air came forth with con-
siderable force. In winter there is
no appreciable lowering of The tenn
perature. The result is that the
owner Of the well can use both store
rooms for taking care Of goods that
otherwise would be likely to freeze.

TELLS HOW TO GROW BRAINS
Psychologist Advises Suggestion as a
Means of increasing the Power
Of Ones intellect

"Any person whose head is fiat
at the back is incapable of love"
says Orlando Miller, president Of
the international Society of Applied
Psychology, in his lectures on ''How
to Grow Brains"
According to DR.. Miller, if per-
sons head is so constructed that a
coin placed at the crown of the head
would slide down the neck, such
person can't know the meaning of
love. A necessary section of the
brain is wanting.
DIR. Miller holds out hope for the
unfortunate individual. He says that
through scientific exercise it is pos
sible to grow the missing section of
the brain containing the cells of
love.
''The man who specializes in one
direction. to the exclusion of others
will not last long as specialist, be-
cause he is not drawing enough blood
to his brain to nourish it, DR.. Mil
Ter said. "By the same token, it re-
quires more mental acumen to be-
come prizefghter than to become
a preacher, for the work Of the ath-
lete uses more sections of the brain
than are used by the scholar.
Continually give your mind the
suggestion of opulence and you will
draw toward you the things which
make for prosperity. The same is
true of health, happiness and poise."
