Mental House Cleaning.

The majority of people need men
tai house cleaning. Mental filth and
scum never contribute to clean living.
Learn to tackle big problems and con-
tribute your mite to the worlds prog
ress. When the mind sees things in the
right perspective you can build noble
structures on the concept. And as you
build the ideals will expand in scope,
taking breadth and altitude as the
mind dwells on "the worth while"
There has never been a greater chal-
lenge for men Of giant mind than now.
Yet so often what glows in promise Is
little more than the effervescence Of
fetid ideals. Men need the clean life.
1t offers nothing 1t cannot fulfill. The
progress Of it may be slow, but 1t rises
to heights never reached by men of
degraded mentality. You can reform
the past II you think and do right.
Step into the forefront and lead men
out of the present unrest into clean,
noble living that will exalt the nation.

REVOLVER INVENTED By Boy
idea Of Deadly Small Arm Was Born
In the Brain Of Fourteen
Year-Oid Runaway.

The revolver, that until the invention
deadly small arm known to man, was
born Of the brain of fourteen-year-
old boy, Samuel Colt. Colt ran away
from school and shipped on board a
merchant vessel bound for the East
Indies. He had a good deal of idle
time on his hands once the ship was
well at sea, and long period of calm
weather followed it's movements. He
began to seek an outlet for his active
imagination and mechanical urge. He
attempted various things to aid sailing,
but without any great success. he
then took to planning pistol that
would shoot several times with a
single load He had only bits of wood
and jack knife to work with, but be-
fore the voyage was over he had cut
out model for a revolver very SINH
lar to the pattern still in use.
Once at home again, he went to
work in his fathers factory, but the
revolver idea was still In his head, and
he worked at 1t from time to time un-
til he was twenty-one. At this point
his experiments had so far advanced
that he asked for and obtained patents
in America and European countries
A stock company was organized, and
from this humble start the great Colt
arms factory was begun, and the re
volver put on market that soon car
ried it around the world.

THE u. S. NAVAL ACADEMY
BY TT. MAxEY

r 1NCLE SANS great training school
~ for the development of the genii
who are to guide the destinies Of
the American navy was founded in
the year 1845
1t is located at Annapolis, the
quaint little capital city Of the state
of Maryland, which, to this day, re-
tains distinctly English fiavor-on
a tract of land where formerly stood
Fort Severn. Its position on the River
Severn, which connects 1t with the
Chesapeake bay, is both fitting and
an advantageous one.
When the Civil war broke out a
change of location was considered ad-
visable and the academy was moved
to Newport, r. l. In 1885 1t was
moved back TO Annapolis.
Since 1893 most Of the buildings
have either been enlarged or recon
structed and many new ones have
been built Today this academy is
considered the best-equipped and hand
soonest naval institution of learning in
the entire world.
The present course, much of which
Is usually spent at sea, requires four
years to complete. After graduation
a midshipman Is commissioned an en-
sign in the navy and assigned to reg
ular service.

peciaiIy marked Dy colo weather were
those of Taft and Grant thts secono).
Thousands of people became SICK
from exposure during Grants secono
Inauguration, and many died. Ii is
said the coughing of people who had
colds was so great that the orchestra
at the inaugural bali could hardly be
heard.
The Taft inaugural blizzard began
in Washington the afternoon of March
5. 1909. 1t continued all night, and
the snow in the capital the next day
was so deep that 1t seemed impossi-
BILE to have a parade. But the pa
rade was held, and on street swept
clean, thanks to the Washington
street department, which removed
thousands Of wagon loads of snow and
slush from Pennsylvania avenue. Many
people became sick from standing In
the snow or sitting In the cold stands
to watch the parade. There was much
suffering caused by exposure. Presi-
dent Taft's reviewing section was in
closed in glass and heated by cleo
tricity.

WASHINGTON Made Custom.

1t was Washington's cabinet that es-
tablished the custom for all future IN
augurations to be made in public.
When the time for Washington's sec
ond inaugural came around he was
in doubt as to the proper method OF
taking the oath for his second term.
He addressed a note to his cabinet
asking for their opinion as to whether
it should be public or private. The
cabinet at that time was divided. JEFF
ferson and Hamilton recommended
that it should be private. Knox and
Randolph reported in favor of making
it public, which was done.

SCIENTISTS HOLD TWO VIEWS
Are Not in Accord in Their Explana-
tion of Origin of the Planetary
System.

Scientists explain the origin of our
planetary system in two ways. One
of these is the familiar nebular hy-
pothesis of Lapace The other is the
planetesmal theory of Professor Moul-
ton, which is probably the most cor
rect one. According to this theory
our planetary system was originally
a vast spiral nebulae. The planets
were formed by accretions of matter
In the spirals of the nebulae. Our
earth and it's satellite, the moon, were
formed in this way. The moon being
a smaller accretion of matter, was
naturally attracted by the earth, which
was possessed Of enough gravitation
to hold the moon The moon there
fore is not a child Of the earth, but
speaking In everyday parlance, we
might call 1t an adopted child This
theory explains great deal that the
nebular hypothesis does not There
are vast numbers of such spiral neb-
ulae In the heavens, indicating that
this is natures accepted way Of ere
ating new worlds, and it is for these
reasons that l accept this view OF the
formation OF the earth and the moon.

You've got yourself within the law, my dear, through not being open with the insurance people. If the facts were publicly made known I doubt if even your uncle could get you off. Seeking to obtain money under false pretenses Is a criminal offense"
 T never sought to obtain it." Nata- lie protested from the insurance. 1 mean. It was they who came to me-

Besides, having deceived them in one way. they'll never believe that the robbery wasn't a put-up job, Staged by some pals of ykours.'
 He kept his eyes fixed on the girls face throughout the period of this harangue.
 Fear, anger, keen anxiety were there. Remorse, too. She was bitterly regretting her past folly.
 "Oh, if you'd never introduced me to your precious Mrs. Della Desmond" she flashed out at last. this wretch ed, business wouldn't have occurred, It-it's all your fault! l hate you for |itv'
 Her vehemence did not disturb him. He had got the girl into his power.

 Farrel Gait sneered.
 And how do you propose to eX- plain your mysterious discovery of the stolen goods? Eh? How?"
 This was q poser. Natalie knitted her white brows thoughtfully.
 T could say l found them on the street." she began, shame facedly.
 He cut her short.
 No one would believe you. and anyhow l forbid you to say anything of the sort" He gripped her hand so

 "I-you-haven't any evidence"
 Ills smile deepened till little creases came about his eyes.
 You foolish child! Confirmation ot my story Is written on your face.'
 You're trying to blackmail me That's & punishable offense in the eyes of the law!"
 He laughed outright.
 Speaking of punishable offenses, what about your trying to get s5.- 900 insurance money on S1J fake? That's criminal. if you like Come. here's our train"
 After they were started Natalie turned to Farrel.
 Her fences were down now as she murmured;
 T never wanted the wretched in- surance. It isn't my fault that they're making fuss. l just can't stop them.'
 This amounted to direct comics sion. The girl was too unnerved to notice that.
 Come, Natalie, make a clean breast of the whole affair. and I'll do my best to help you" Her escort assumed brisk, capable tone. Did you sell the real pearls outright? Or have you pawned them? and if so. for how much?"
 She stammered out her answer, even though to do so was against her own volition.

 Her companion heaved a sigh of relief. A greedy look lay in his eyes as he viewed this valuable bit of property.
 Give it to me my dear. I'll take care of it for you" He stretched a hand out.
 Natalie drew back. To let him get the pasteboard into his possession was tantamount to presenting him with s5.000.

 He flushed with anger at her tone.
 You certainly have deceived 'em eyes were fixed. disparagingly on her pretty, anxious face. q never imagined that little soft thing like you had It in you to be so plotting and deceitful.

He's mighty fond of you"
 Quick, burning tears of shsme sprang to the girls eyes. She bent her head to hide them.
 He went on:
 Tt would almost ilill your uncle. I'll be bound. He enjoys poor health, and I've always hear his heart was not particularly strong. If I just went and let him hear this story"
 Natalie raised her head, tears trick ling down her cheeks.
 "He hates you" She spoke the
