looking decidedly worried and
anxious.
Joan, left to herself, cleared the
table and began hurriedly to write
a couple Of letters. They took her
some time. Then she looked
through her belongings in the
housemaid's chest of drawers she
shared with Emmie. took counsel
with herself before the looking

BELIEVE THEY HOODWINK GOD
Chinese Seemingly Have Little Re
spect for the intellectually
of Their Deities.

One of the Strangest things about
the religion of the Chinese is the rev.
erence they hold for their gods, de-
spite the belief that the gods are gul-
lible as man of inferior intellect.
Instead of attributing infallibility to
the deities they worship, as all other
races have done, the Chinese resort to
tricks of childish simplicity and are
sure they have deceived the god.
Usually the tricks employed are TO
make sure the god does not betray
the sins of a Chinese to the higher
deities. An amazing example is the
treatment of the kitchen god just
before he is to start on one Of his
periodic visits to heaven. This trip
is limited, because the kitchen god
may be absent only seven days.
The householder thinks he must pre-
vent the god from reciting his sins to
the deities. So it is the general Gus
tom, before the god is to depart on
the seven days absence, to prepare
large hollow balls of the gods favOrite
candy. The kitchen deity has a very
small throat. When the candy, of
which he is extremely fond, is placed
before him, the Chinese say the god
stuffs his mouth with it, being too
gluttonouS to leave any behind. His
small throat prevents swallowing the
confection, and thus when he appears
before the ruling deities he is unable
to talk, and the householder's sins
remain q secret.

QUEEN CHOSE PEASANT MATE
One of the Favorite Stories of the
Many Found in Folklore of
Bohemia.

Bohemian folklore contains many
interesting and inspiring stories.
but all Of them express the national
feeling and the aspirations of a sub
Ject people lOr independence. Now
that the World war established
CzechOslOvakia as free state, the
national consciousness has redoubled
the interest iii Bohemian history and
fiction.
favOrite story is of the Princess
Libussa, youngest and wisest of Prince
krOks three daughters. She was in
telligent, with perfect morals and &C,
tive in deeds or the welfare of her
people. EndOv ed as a seeress, the
people chose ler to be their ruler.

choose their hug. They waived this

Herbert bore much more than this;
he had seated himself on the third
step of the stairway in the hall, and
maintained as much dogged silence as
he could. Once, however, they got

"Oh, Herbert. Herbert! How could
you make up that terrible falsehood
about Mr.. Crum? And, think of it;
right on the same page with your
cousin FlOrence's pure little pOem!"
Herbert uttered some sounds, totally
incoherent but loud, and expressive of
supreme revulsion. The shocked
audience readily understood that he
liked neither Cousin Virginia's chiding
nor Cousin Florence's poem.
"Shame!" said his father.
Herbert controlled himself. 1t
could be seen that his spirit was not

Wireless Network.

If one set of radio instruments can
establish wireless line of communica-
tion, apparently the multiplication of
such sets will produce a wireless net
work. And there is something pc
culiarly fitting in the notion that the
government radio systems can use
such a net for protecting aviators and
their passengers in airplane flights.
Apparently the radio netting will be
able to keep the airplane from stray
ing into areas of unfavorable flying
conditions as effectually as chickens
netting keeps the hens from straying
into the garden.-Exchange

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain--the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's. Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

TURNED IT BACK TO BAKER
Chinese Dairy Farmer Had Good Ex-
cuse for Selling His Product
Without Using Scales.

A dairy farmer living in a small
town was recently summoned to ap-
pear before the local magistrate on a
charge of selling butter under weight.
The complainant was the village
baker, who felt he was being wronged
when he discovered that every pound
of the farmers butter fell below the
weight that pound ought to be.
"Have you pair of scales?" asked
the magistrate of the farmer.
"Yes, your honor"
"And weights?''
mo, your honor, have no weights"
"You have no weights How, then,
can you weigh your butter?"
"That is very simple, your honor.
Since the baker has bought his butter
from me, l buy my bread from him,
and his one-pound loaves serve me as
weights to weigh my butter. If the
butter does not weigh what it should,
it is the bakers fault, and not mine,
you see."-North China Herald.

CompanionabIe Mother Need Not Have

A prominent Hoosier clubwoman
is devoted mother, and takes time
to romp with her children every night.
The other evening her eight-year-old
daughter brought her chum home with
her for the night. The chums moth
er is dignified and never romps or
jokes with her children. SO the prom
inent woman outdid herself for the
childrens amusement. Finally she
said laughingly: 81 must stop or Mil

The next morning when she went
