The Jov of Livino

I have never had much money, but have always enjoyed the things al hand. I have become so familiar with the face of Nature that 1t is as the face of an old friend and I know and love it in every mood. My years have been full of joy, but they have been years of simplicity and economy. l have never sated myself with anything and the bloom is still on my life.
 I have kept young because 1 have kept free from worldly and selfish am bitiOns. If I had been miserly and grasping, I would have been old and unhappy long ago. There Is nothing like love to keep you yOung-love for your fellow man and for Nature-and love is Natures final law. Someone once asked me how I had kept so young and I answered that had been born young and had never thrown my youth away.-JOhn Burroughs.

"Yes, it was to pay nVte. Come in here, and I'll explain all. There's nothing to frighten you. Waldron."
 The two disappeared into the inner room, WaldrOn's voice still rumbling. with Wine interjecting a word now and then. I ventured to stand erect again in the confines of the closet, and press my ear to the crack of the inner door. Both men were confident of being alone, and so deeply i'm merSed in their own affair q to speak with little restraint. WalGrOn. really affrightened at this discovery of Miss Gessler, adopted the method of bully to carry his point, more eager than ever to escape the city.
 Well" he began. humping the desk with a fist, now you begin to spill. Don't try to work any game on me. What do you mean by pay ing a note? You owe her sOmething"
 ''NO; now listen. and don't get mad. tell you just how 1t was," and Wine endeavOred to be smooth and plaus- ible, his voice pitched so low I had difficulty in hearing the words. "She said I was to succeed Ava, and be the revolutionary agent; partly she came to tell me this, but some way she learning of my indebtedness, that I have an overdue note at the bank"
 How the h-l did she know that?"
 "I could not tell" apparently sur prised himself. 'I never asked, but maybe Krantz he told her. When they talked over my being given charge of the fund--yeS, that must be the way, for she insisted I must straighten that matter up quick, be- fore other money was given me-"

CAN NOT HIDE WEAKNESSES
Philadelphia Writer Draws a Moral
 From the Life and Works of Two Men
There were two men.

There were two men.
 One, in order to hide his faults from the eyes of the public. surrounded him. self with many friends, better than himself in character.
 The other man had single friend, as sterling in character sympathies and perceptions as himself.
 In the first case the man fooled the public, which seemed to see him through his friends.
 In the second case, however. the man and his friend were misunder- stood and neglected by the public
 The first man. during life, was praised and flattered. for. being very wealthy, he could very easily purchase empty words, but not loved or re- Spected.
 The second man, after death. was at last understood, respected. honored and loved, but to no avail; for he could not be brought back from the grave.
 It was a case of the same old story of an unjust, blind world.
 Moral-Armor will not hide ones weaknesses.-Cha Fingerman, in the Philadelphia Record.

BAD RICK IN WINDOWS

Nearly every business contributes bits of specialized knowledge to the common fund. It will strike many persons as curious piece of informa- tion that plate glass insurance com panies class windows with black letter ing on them as "extra hazardous" risks. The explanation given is that a black surface absorbs the suns rays. By this means, it is stated, an unequal expansion is produced throughout the plate; and under the influence of sudden gust of cold or any other quick change of temperature a strain is de- veloped which may break the glass.

NEWS NOTES FROM
 AMERICAN LEGION

A proposal that the American Le- zion be given the sacred trust of car ing for graves of Confederate veterans in the South has been made to Gen. eral Julian S., Carr, Durham, N. C., Veterans. National headquarters of Veterans. aNtional headquarters of the Legion, sponsoring the move, has also made the same request of the Grand Army of the Republic.
 We see your ranks growing thin, and while there are few of you yet with the living, the Legion has an ann bition to prove its fidelity to you all by accepting as a sacred trust the privilege of caring for and decorating all of the graves of Americas heroic dead, who fought both sides of that struggle resulting in the re-birth of our nation," the Legion's request reads.
 The Legion asks that it be allowed to assume it's trust on the coming Memorial Day, and adds: "An ex- change of our flags over the graves of your and our dead and a shni- lar decoration for each and all thru out America will be binding and in- disputable evidence of the unity of our country forever"
 An ex-soldier living in Mississippi, becoming the proud father of triplets, all girls, asked the. American Legion to suggest names for them:. On his assertion that he was good hand at poker and therefore willing to take a chance on your pick, it was suggest ed that the "three queens" be named Annie, Maude and Kate.
 One half of the A. E. F. in France drank a glass of beer in a Coblenz cafe about a month ago, American Legion men have informed their back home buddies. The other half, who stayed back in Paris, was Quarter master Corps sergeant. The A. E. F. soon will be reduced to just one of the pair. While a forest fire was sweeping down upon sick and wounded ex-sol- diers confined in a Lakewood, N. J., hospital, American Legion men rescu- ed their invalid comrades and parked them in an open field. Then they saved the hospital from destruction
 More than 21,00O ex-soldiers asked the American Legion of Minnesota tc adjust their claims against the Gov. ernment during 1921. Of these claims 42 per cent were for disability, com pensation, vocational training anG medical treatment.

STORIES OF GREAT INDIANS
Copyright. 1922. Western Newspaper Union PIESKARET, THE CONQUEROR
 OF THE IROQUOIS
Bv Elmo Scoif Doison


 TT TOOK a mighty warrior of any l tribe to hold his own with the Iroquois back in the colonial days. But Pieskaret Little Blaze") did 1t and his name became a word of terror to them during the perpetual war between these Romans of the West" and his people, the Adirondacks.
 One day early in 1844 Pieskaret set out on a lone war trail toward Lake s;hamplaln. AS he neared the Iroquois villages he reversed his snowshoes so that if enemy scouts found his trail it would be leading away from their villages instead of toward 1t. Late that night he entered their camp. and stealthily crept into one of the lodges. By the low-burning fire In the center he saw that It's occupants were asleep. Working swiftly and noiselessly, the Adirondack killed and scalped all.
 The next morning a terrible cry of grief and rage arose when the. dead bodies were found. Pursuing parties followed a trail of snowshoes leading away from the village but the warriors returned without catching a glimpse of the murderer. That night Pieskaret slipped out from his hiding place, entered a lodge and again killed and scalped. But on the third night he found two warriors on guard in every lodge His game was up.
 Then he discovered one tent where the sentinel nearest the door was asleep. Suddenly throwing aside the door flap, he struck terrible blow with his war club. sounded his war whoop and dashed into the forest. The 1roquois were hot on his trail for the remainder of the night and far into the next day, but by evening there were only six of his. pursuers left.
 Springing to the side of the trail, Pieskaret hid In hollow tree and watched the chase speed past. Then he swiftly followed. That night while the tired Iroquois warriors lay asleep, a form giided into their bivouac. A war club rose and fell six times. The next morning Pieskaret with six more scalps sped North to exhibit to his triDesmen these trophies of the great est individual feat of arms ever per formed by an Indian warrior.
 A few years later the Adirondacks made treaty with the Iroquois. One day Pieskaret met delegation from the Five Nations on their way to visit the governor of Canada. Singing a peace song in honor of the truce be- tween the tribes, he advanced with out stretched arms to meet them. His answer was volley from a dozen guns and Pieskaret, the Adirondack champion, lay dead.

that merchants seeking women's trade
