Forever beautiful and fair,
With wind and starlight in your hair
You rise. slim cloud in the wood,

One moment, on her rushing way,
To kiss the rosy feet Of Day
The moon has dropped her velvet

Beside you in your fragrant bed,
And in your tender arms have lain

With singing heart and empty hand
To find true beauty in this land

Meditation

How much nicer it is to sit in the park
the way those buns down there
are doing,
Looking all day long at Civic Virtue, -
Instead of high in an office building
here
On Park Row,
Raising hell with typewriter keys.
| know lots about invoices and all that
sort of tresome thing,
But those men down there are learn
ing lot about art
And art is elemental.
have a white collar to wear that
chokes me.
And pants that are pressed stiff, coming
to points like the edge Of a
cutlass.
But don't dare cross my legs the way
those buns seem to do-and en-
Joy it--lest cut out the creases;
And though this job of mine is not
supposed to be a servile one,
And you don't humble yourself,
do know they won't stand having men
around here without pants
pressed stiff in the crease like
a cutlass.
And the August dog days are coming;
And the collar will stick me in the
throat,
And won't be able to take my coat off.
This job of mine is not servile one
Som etimes women come into the Office:
And Jiggs, the boss, of course, he won't
Have any Of us doing a thing disre
spectful
To the ladies'.
l wonder if those buns down there
would just move over n little
And make bit Of room

origin of Famous Phrase.

There was a time when Letter
go, Gallagher" meaning start or "cut
loose" was heard in all parts of the
United States. The exclamation was
originated by a Judge Beaver, of Nor
gan county, KY, during a trotting
meeting in Tippon county.
The judge had entered mare which
was driven by one Gallagher, the city
marshal of Harrodsburg. Some of the
sporting fraternity, thinking to catch
the judge mapping, entered a famous
fast trotter against his horse. At the
end Of the first half-mile the two
racers approached the wire neck and
neck at a 2:40 pace. At tbs moment
the judge shouted:
Letter go Gallagherw
Gallagher hearing the words, loosed
the reins and the mare rushed for
ward and won by almost a dozen
lengths.

First Jews In Virginia.

Jews first settled In the South in
Richmond, Va, more than 100 years
ago. In 1871 the first synagogue was
established there. In the same year
the members purchased a plot of land
as a burial ground to be used for the
Jewish residents of Richmond, and
Jews were buried there until 1916.
For long time the congregation
prospered. But in 1910 a change oc-
Cured in the fortunes of the syna-
gogue. 1t was in that year that a
large influx of German Jews came to
America They worshiped according
to the German ritual A number of
its members left the original syna-
gogue to establish another congrega-
ton. The then new congregation,
Beth Ahaba, is still in existence. The
name of the original congregation was
Beth Shalome.

Fierce Tribe of South America Brought

During the three centuries after the

is known as the Gran Chaco or north
ern Argentina and western Paraguay,

These tribes, belonging to what Is
known as the Chaco-Guaycurau fam
fly of Indians, were described by the
early ;spaniards as ferocious and ir-
reconcilable, with>an intense hatred Of
the white man. They were restless
nomads who lived by hunting and fish,
ing. Only within the last twenty years
have they allowed the white man to
advance bis settlements and then only
because Of fear Of the Argentine army.

clconatra,s Pearl.

Everyone knows the story which
is told of Cleopatra to illustrate her
luxurious habits OF living-namely,
that she dissolved in her wine preci-
GUS pearl. No one seems to have ques-
toned what must have been the effect
upon the drink. but one scientist, at
least, questions pOintedly the posi-
bllity of such a solution.
Do we not all believe that the mag
nificent Cleopatra, regardless of ex-
pense, dissolved in her wine cup a
pearl of great price, as If it had been
a lump Of sugar? Is not the "fact"
familiar to every one? Yet, If you
test 1t, you will find the fact to be
that pearls are not soluble In wine.
The most powerful vinegar attacks
but very slowly and never entirely
dlssolves them, for the organic matter
remains behind, IN the shape of a
spongy mass larger than the original
pearl.

FOOD VALUE OF NUTS LARGE
According to Writer in English Maya
zine, There Can Be No Better
Article Of Diet.

Nut crackers are not considered a
necessary equipment Of the ordinary
household dining table. The dietary
value OF nuts not being fully reeog-
nized, this implement is rarely re-
quired nowadays.
Yet there is no better fora OF diet
than nuts, declares a writer in London
Answers. The family fable which con-
signs them to the catalogue of the in
digestibIes is San uncOnscionable time
a-dying." child's taste, however, Is
often the best criterion Of foods val
ne. and all children love nuts, even as
do monkeys.
We should consume nuts all the
year round, eating, say, certain
quantity daily, chewing them methodi-
cally.
II children had as free access to the
nut crop as have monkeys there would
be fewer digestive weaklings. This ap-
plies to grownups as well.
II nuts disagree, even with the most
delicate, it is because they are par
taken Of at the wrong time. When
consumed between meals they are al
most certain to disagree, as they will
also If eaten after a heavy meal of
other food or insufficiently masticated
The proper time to eat nuts is just
at the beginning of meals. Then they
fill the mouth with copious flow of
saliva which viii assist in emulsifying
the fats stored in this important food.
In cold weather they are invaluable,
assisting greatly In maintaining the
bodily heat. Nothing. therefore, can
compare with them as a morning diet
for children and small saucerful will
not be too large a supply.

WEDDING STOOD FOR PLEDGE

'Wedding" is now synonymous with
marrying" but this is compare

two words stood for distinct things.
Marrying" meant marrying as the
term is now used, but wedding"
meant a mere pledging which held
for a year, after which the couple
would agree to continue the trial mar

partners.
Under the Danish influence In
England wedding" became so COM

manner" This daughter had three
husbands TO each of whom she brought
as dowry six states which her father
had bestowed upon her, but which had

church and not to him. Eventually
these estates went to her son and be-
came hereditary. Things had a way of

sIanaI for Bucket BRIGADE.

Visitors in Philadelphia are often
puzzled as to the significance Of the
small metal plaques that appear on
the fronts of many old houses, observes
the New York Evening Post. They
ponder over the insignia, wondering
whether these curiosities are the coats
of arms &c the original builders or the
marks of some old craft. But the
plaque that bears u tree does not rep
resent the family tree of some old
Quaker line, nor does the one which
sports an object that looks like
churn with hose attachment signify
that the old red brick structure was
once dairy. They are the marks Of
old insurance companies. They date
back to the days when each insurance
company had its own bucket brigade
for the protection Of it's policy holders.
When the house caught fire 1t must
be saved. If saved 1t was, by the COM
pany which had branded the structure
as being under its protection.

Roundabout Manner.

IF you should ever be called a

show Your superiority by springing
this intere ting bit of information. He
who made The term famous was
great man. He was considered one of
the most learned doctors of the early
church and of the franciscan order.
His name was Duns Scotus, and though
he was Ounce by name he was not by
nature, as he was renowned for his
sharpness and keenness. The present
significance of the word ounce" &c
rived from the name "Duns," is the
result of ancient theological disputes.
Away back In the Middle ages the
churchmen who had been educated In
the schools founded by Charlemagne
were considered the savants Of their
age and were respected for their great
learning. The time soon came. how
ever, when these theologians were no
longer regarded as authorities and
when their writings became unpopular
because of the ponderous and scholar
ly style in which they were expressed.
Among such theologlans, called
"schoolmen." Duns Scotus was prom

sequentlv when a follower of his ex-
pounded theories or quoted from the
works of the "schoolpen," he was
