Historic Tennis Balls,

A historical fact that was impressed
upon the minds Of children Of past
generation was that a certain king
was playing tennis when he was told
he had to ascend the throne Of Eng.
land. II may bring back to some the
remembrance Of sch0olr0Om days when
they hear that two tennis balls have
been found among the dust and cob
webs OF the old rafters Of Westmln-
ster hall. They are said to date back
to the time Of Henry VIII who was
an ardent player Of the royal game"
The balls are made Of leather and
stuffed with human hair, all balls Of
an early period being made in that
way. The leather has burst In several
places and faint traces Of white may
be seen on the surface. The balls are
not both the same size, one being two
and half inches In diameter and the
other only al inch and half. Whom
was King Harry playing WITH and did
he feel impatient when he sent the
balls spinning into the rafters? It
was not lawn tennis then.-Chrlstlan

NO ''EASY MONEY"
Term Is Used as a Joke Among
Real FinancierS.
Great Wealth Seldom Gained Without
Actual Hard Work, as Men In
High Position Know.

The Ponzl case in Boston affords an
excellent example Of the need Of Il bet
ter understanding Of the principles Of
thrift In this country, S. w. Straus,
president of the American Society for
Thrift, says.
I IL Is very rare that great wealth Is
gained overnight. There have been oc.
caslonal instances where men have
found gold or struck oil or written Il
successful novel, or brought into being
a great and useful invention, with the
result that the 1oodgates Of money
have been turned loose for them; but
such instances are Of such rare occur
renee that they can be eliminated as
not within the range Of possibilities for
the average man.
The processes of thrift must be full
filed In the preparation Of O success.
ful financial career.
The so-called Napoleons of finance
generally meet very early Waterloo.
Success In the material things Of life
means a slow but substantial upbulld-
ing. First Of all, the foundation must
be right, just as 1t must be in the case
Of great building.
The practice of thrift in the early
years of ones life not only gives one
money with which to make n start, but
1t gives what Is even more important
business understanding. In practlc-
Ing thrift, we are demonstrating one
Of the essential functions Of business
success. This does not mean that
through thrift alone one can build up
a great fortune, but II does mean that
In gaining whatever success we attain
In life In material way we must first
Of all learn the principles of true
economy.
The fate Of Ponzl and the luckless
ones who are striving to regain the
money they lntrusted to him is just an
other example of the fallacy of easy
money.
Something cannot be created from
nothing.
New capital alone must come from
what Is earned and saved
If you are employed on salary
your profits are what you save, not
what you earn What you have left Mt
the end of the month or at the end Of
the year constitutes your new capital.
If you wish to get ahead, to get out
of the rut you now feel you are In,
you must build up that capital; you
must create new wealth for yourself
and put II to work for you.
These are the only processes through
all the ages, and the only ones through
which one ever will succeed In ages
to come.

Just before the World war Sir A.
Conan Doyle wrote fanclful tale in
which he pictured the plight Of Eng
land starved and almost subjected by
enemy submarines. Fancy almost be;
came fact when Germany made Its
desperate bid for victory. Between
the imaginative deeds OF the short
story foe and the real deeds of the
enemy obcying orders FROM Postdam
there was little variance.
The United States has just read Of
the first practicable use Of the tele-
graph for sending photographs. The
same idea was used in fiction plot
ter years ago.
The world nearly always keeps faith
In dreamers and prophets. An agile
hand does not always go with an agile
mind, but the world does not forget
an idea that has been promised. Thus
does the imaginative writer become the
vanguard Of achleyement-the scout OF
scientific posslblllty.-Amerlcan Le-

FLAG Holsted Below Water.

The British flag has been raised
under unusual circumstances In the
past, but perhaps the conditions were
never stranger than those at a cere-
mony which has just taken plnce at
Swanson hay, British Columbia. where
two divers, nearly 100 feet below the
surface Of the sea- holsted the ships
ensign on the flagstaff Of the Sunken
ship Prince Rupert, which Is now in
process Of being salvnged. One diver
bent the colors to the halyards and
slowly holsted them while his mate
stood at the salute nearby and sent to
the surface, thrNlgh the telephone
connected with his helmet, the strains
OF the national anthem. Many n shin
has gone down with colors flying, but
II will be the feat Of the salvage com.

series of seemingly disconnected inquiries about
her life and upbringing, to which the girl replied
with a brevity conditioned half by reserve and
half by inability to grasp his abstract questions
cannot pretend that the conversation
amused me, as the only interest lay in Gaunt's
intellectual infatuation for the girl for the
mental image of her which he had created, and
this considered certainly foolish and perhaps
undesirable. That it even held seeds of danger

ness and suspicion by the presence of third

flattery of Gaunt's whimsical attention. l no
