be standing guard, but though he had
Su an important duty he was not
at all happy because near him stood
paperweight in the form of stern
looking boy with his arms folded in
such a way that ne could hold pencil
or penhoIder.
Paper-weight Boy looked upon Hans
with disdain, and told him that he
was too, gayly dressed for boy, and
besides that his hair was cut like q
girls.
Poor little Hans was very unhappy,
because though he told Paper-weight
Boy he was Dutch boy and that was
the way they dressed in his country,
the brass clothes which his compan-
Son wore did took more like boys

Then Paper-weight Boy, being
made of brass, did not tumble over as
did Hans when the wind happened to

Boy.

ART TREASURES NOT INSURED
For One Reason, No Amount Of Money
Gould Replace Those In Brit
lsh Storehouses.

The great national storehouses of
art treasures are not insured. writes a
correspondent of the London Daily
Mall. No compensation would be
Forthcoming Ia case Of fire or theft.
The reason is that the premiums on
the millions of pounds worth of pic

ties in the British museum, and exhib-

UNI, for instance, would amount to a
very large sum.
IF art galleries and museums In
sured they would have to pay out far
larger sums than they receive in adj
mittance charges" said an official Of
the National Portrait gallery. "The
latest apparatus for preventing and
detecting fire is employed, and night
watchmen are present"
An official Of the British museum
said: "We have very thorough sys-

great help. for sometimes the Doctor
did not look at the calendar for a
long time.
But one day little girl came to the
Office with her mother and when she
cried because the Doctor wanted to
look at her tongue he gave her Hans
to hold and she stopped crying at
once.
That night Brass Boy did not say
much to Hans, for he knew he had
helped the Doctor, and the next day
another little girl came to see him,
and when she, too, cried, the Doctor
offered to let her hold Brass Boy, but
she shook her head and pointed to

That night when the office was still

he did in the day time and Brass
Boy knew that he would be wise to
hold his peace and never again did
he taunt Hans with being useless.

Doctor he could smile in spite OF faded

Brass BOY, knowing that Hans was
very important, now grew friendly
and they lived in peace, for Hans was
as good natured as he looked. and
did not say any unkind things as he
might have done.

~ rDALTER

lessness Of the present to the harsh
methods used by parents in rearing
their little ones.
Respect for parents. and respect for
the right are the two things essential
to make a good man and woman out
Of a boy and girl. But the proper kind
of respect for neither can be acquired
by frequent applications Of the rod.
The same rule applies in every path
way through life. Business men who
rule with the iron hand, who try to
keep their employees efficient by ILL
treatment and "mule-driving" get
nowhere in the long run. Certain 1t
is that they do bring down upon
themselves the hatred of scores OF
good employees and in the days when
cooperation is essential to the sue
cessful progress OF business, here Is
likely to be very big monkey-wrench
in the wheels Of machines.
Life is too short and the biggest
worldly accomplishments are entirely
too small to make it worth While for
one to spoil others pleasure by his
own selfishness.
Kindness is the one sure producer
Of success and smiles.

ISABEL

T. TYMOLOGrSTS claim that Isabel
- is only another form of Elizabeth,
whose intricate, but interesting history
will be discussed later. Accepting the
theory Of the experts, Isabel would
seem to be derived. then, through the
Hebrew Elischeba. much used In the
time of Charlemagne. 1t soon became
Elisaba and was shortly abbreviated
to Isabeau through the wife of Charles
VI of France.
Another more romantic version
claims that Isabel. which is translated
to mean "oath of Baal," originated
with the daughter of the Zidonian

Made Records for Aoents.

A prominent insurance executive de-
cided not long ago that he would talk
to about 10000 agents who write poll
cies for his concern. He could not
get them all together, SO he concluded
to use the photograph. He prepared
an address Of 400 words and then made
a master record.
This record was duplicated 20 times
and catchy tune was put on the OPP
posite side Of the disk. Then these
records we're mailed to the agents from
the Atlantic to the Pacific In the be-
lief that those who did not have talk
ing machines would take the records
to a neighbor or to music store to
hear the message.

Old Theory Exploded.

1t is commonly believed that the
great temple Of Karnak was built by
the ancient Egyptians SO that the sun
at the precise moment OF the solstice
should shine straight down the axis Of
the temple. But the Egyptian survey
has made accurate measurements Of
the temple and proves that the sun
has never been visible at all, at any
moment in any day in any year along
the axis Of the temple, since about
5000 B. c., and that 1t last set along
the central line Of this axis between
twelve thousand and thirteen thou
sand years ago. AT this date" says
the Scientific American, Europe was
still in the Old Stone Age; the cave
period was at It's zenith, and the hunt
ers Of the Dosdogne were chasing
reindeer over the French tundras. To
suppose that the temple Of Karnak
can have been built then Is out Of the
question"

The wife of Philippe Auguste Of
France was called Isabelle by the
French when she was brought from
Hungary a bride, and the name thus
became popular in the French court
Isabelle of Angouleuse, the betrothed
Of Hughes de Lusignan, who after
ward married King John, brought Isa-
belle to England. Her namesake
daughter became the wife Of Fried
rich II and carried Isabelle to Ger
many and Sicily. Spain adopted it as
Isabel or Ysabel and 1t was given
vogue there through the marriage into
Portugal of Isabel de La Pays, great
niece Of Elizabeth Of Hungary. But.
curiously enough, Isabel was never
greatly liked or used in England
though the child-queen OF Richard II
was so called, and many daughters Of
the Plantagenets received it in bap-
tism. Scotland, on the other hand
favored it, calling it Isobel and Isbel.
Isabella is a form used in England
and America to some extent.
Isabel's gem is the diamond. For
her, the diamond is talisman against
