AoTEL MEN NOT ALL BAD
Wayne 3. Wheeler Tells Good Story
20 Prove the Truth Of Asser-
tlon He Makes.

Wayne B. Wheeler Of the Anti-Ssr
toon league said In San Francisco:
IT think we're unjust to hotel men
as a rule. We are too ready to &c
cuse them Of robbery. AS q matter
of fact, they are very fine lot.
II once knew an engineer who was
travelling In Nevada. He had good
deal Of money with him, and one night
he put up at very primitive hotel
In the wllds. The landlord OF this
hotel looked like a brigand. and the
engineer could hardly sleep for fear
Nothing, however, happened, and
the next morning he set off with a re-
lieyed heart. The mountain trail was
q lonely one, and on toward noon. In
a wild and desolate spot, three des-
peradoes fell on him. emptied his va
lise and pockets, and made off.
THE engineer was convinced thas
the landlord was at the bottom OF this
holdup. Accordingly he turned back
to notify the authorities. But he had
only gone q mile or 50 when he met
a mounted messenger, who handed him
a small packet. Pinned to the packet
was a note from the villainous land
lord that said:
"T inclose your pocketbook cpntain-
ing $3.50, which you left under your
pillow last night Please SEND 10
csipt by bearer"

PARIS PIG IN SECOND PLACE
New England Annals Of ITS Show
French Animal Can Only Be
classed 40 q "PIker."

A Paris dispatch related recently
that a pig fed from the Halles and
ran down the Rue de Rivol, upsetting
two gendarmes. She then went to a
department store, was carried I'D one
escalator, down another and found
refuge in the dress goods department
In the basement, where she sank into
q calm slumber. This is well enough
In its way and for European pig.
but it has too many signs Of accident.
1t may have amused the Parisians to
hear about this. Perhaps 1t may have
deepened their conviction that the
Vile lumiere is the mother of$hoyel-
ties. But If so, they sadly mistake.
The New Hampshire Gazette of Janu-
airy 6, 1775, contains the following ad-
vertisement: "a Pig Came to the
House of Mark Loud In Portsmouth
about fortnight ago-the Owner NAV
have him again by applying to the
said Loud The conscientious Loud.
though feeling the greatest respect
and friendship for the pig that had
made him fortnight's visit. evidently
felt that he ought to go home. Moth
Ing is said about reward; that is left
| to the delicacy Of the pigs owner and
1t must have been an exceptionally In
telligent pig, even for New England, to
| have left this pleasant impression on
Mr.. Loud. There is no evidence that
| any dispatch was sent to the French
or English press about the incident,
although it Is far more interesting
than that of the Paris pig that upset
the gendarmes.-J. 81. s., In the Bos-

FEAST CHANGED IN MEANING
Jewish Passover Originally AsrIcul-
sural Festivai-Now Refers d.
rectly to Escape From Egypt

The Jewish festival Of Passover com.
nemorates the release Of the Hebrews
from Egyptian bondage The festival
opens with a household ceremony,
called the Seder, at which collation.
Is served and various religou. rites
performed, including a recital Of the
events Of the Exodus, from q special
ritual service compiled for this occa-
sion.
Originally Passover was an agricul.
tural feast At later period 1t be-
came dissociated In part from its prm-
tive nature and came to refer direct
~ to the escape from Egypt. which In
vested the festival with the new and
highly significant spiritual message Of
liberty for all mankind
In the synagogue the note Of spring
is reflected In assigned scriptural
reading wherein the worshiper Is re-
minded that the winter is over. This
is In harmony with the purpose of the
Passover, which Is to recall to mind
| the many miracles which were wrought
IN behalf Of the House Of Jacob by the
never-slumbering guardian and keeper
Of Israel. Israel Is hidden, through
1 the annual message Of Passover, TO
work for the eventual triumph of hu-
mainly over the tyranny Of injustice
| and iniQuity.-Detroit News.

REMAINS IN HER MEMORY
HsW North Star Brings UP VIsloN a4
Happy Childhood 10 the
Mind OF Writer,

One Of my own most perfect child
hood memories concerns my visits ia
my grandmother, when she invited me
TO stay for supper, and my GRANDPA.
Their walked home with me after dark.
All along the way, he used to point
out our two shadows on the pavement
as we passed the street lights one ~
enc.
We watched the way the shadows
were very short directly below the
lamp, and how they heightened until
they were just our height-his more
than twice as tall as mine-and how
they finally grew so long that their
tops were almost out Of sight. The
object was to find the point where
the shadows were exactly as tall as
ourselves. When we came to the
darkest part of the street, where our
shadows were lost In the hedges, we
used to stop and find the North star
over pointed tree near my own
home.
That was always the way we made
the Journey from his home to mine,
until he thought that I was too old
to care to have him show me stars
and shadows any more. But for me,
as long as I live, the North star win
shine over that particular tree. And
shall always keep the memory II
that funny little shadow that used
to be mine, clear cut with the light
behind it-and beside it, hand in hand
with it. that dear characteristic shad-
ow that never falls on any road In
the world.-Frsnces Lester Warner IN
| the Atlantic Monthly.

Poker In Hand.

habit Of going on motor trips every

rather surprised to hear PECULIAR
grinding noise in what seemed to ~
to be their kitchen. As my husband
was not presentable, = grabbed up the
poker. for I felt sure 1t was some one
trying to break in, and braveiy ran
down to the front door and rang the
door bell. I thought they would hear
the bell ring and be frightened away.
Imagine my embarrassment when the
door of the fat opened and the land
lord stepped out and caught me with
the appraised poker Ia my hand. When
