Ruins Of Unkno1vr1 City m
 Columbia Being U1coDered

s''The principal place where I have been working has a staircase of AS steps all made of nicely cut quad rangular stone slabs. Instead of the Indian road of which I have heard there are thousands of them all through the mountains. There are apparently wide roads connecting the sites. All are paved with flat water worn rocks of more or less uniform size, the small paths being a single line of such stones, while the most important roads are four feet or more nride and edged with upright stones.
 "On the side or almost every house there can still be found the Metate, or grinding slab, on which the family ground it's corn. In all the villages we have found quantities of broken pottery, mostly fragments of large undecorated jars"
 The ancient inhabitants of this coun- try decorated themselves with gold ornaments and buried these with their dead. The early Spaniards are known to have taken fabulous quantities of gold from the graves.

USELESS COAXING
By s. E. KISER.

WHERE taxicabs lodged in and out,
w Where mad men pushed the women back
Where high walls shut the sunlight back,
He sighed, alas, and said "Alackp
SSCIVE me the open fields" he sang,
" "The clear brook leaping gladly down,
Far from the smudge and roar and clang
And warfare of the Goddess townl
ssCIvE me the songs Of wren and lark,
u The draught dipped from the limpid spring,
Where no unyielding money shark
Would grab my clothes and everything.
SsCIVE me the joyful open space,
VI The fragrance in each breeze that blows,
Exemption from the killing pace,
The springtime cawing Of the crows.
sSCIVE me the charm Of country lanes,
" Where clover lures the honey bee,
Instead Of toll for paltry gains
Where no one has a nod for me.
sSrIvE me the scent of fresh-plowed earth,
" The glad bleat Of the watchful dam,
Where daily may prove my worth,
And men will notice who am.
UyHEY called him where the fields were wide
i And streams were clear and hands were few;
"Come on" they begged, "and we'll provide
A steady job out here for you"
TIE who had found that city life
III Was irksome sadly shook his head;
"I cannot go, because my wife
Would die of loneliness" he said.
sSNNY plea she answers with reproof,
Nl Preferring always, regret,
To hang her washing on the roof
Above our room and kitchenette."

yoITR MARRIED MATE.

b. In nearly all homes either the husband or the
wife feels called upon to do all the deciding
upon important matters, and feels that the rest
of the family should quietly acquiesce
But why should husband insist that his
wife advance only the IDEAS he endorses and
not have any opinions Of her own7
Ns,ther should a wife foist her individuality
upon her husband as being the only point Of
view worth considering.
In many homes there is little exchange of
ideas because one or the other is angry IL they
fail to agree. ~
II all husbands and wives could fairly and
without Irritation discuss the many interesting
problems of the day, II might be possible for
aome persons to become better posted on vital
matters through these heart-to-heart talks
Men would become better acquainted with the
nroblems women are studying and vice versa,
additional points being made on each side,
Much can be learned around the freside
+oe,ether, n husbands and wives would take the
trouble to enquire into the others differing
points OF view.
Knowledge and intelligence would be the re-
suit and distinct gain made, II each gave the
other earnest, unbiased attention and both
parties were fafr-minded.

Women and Fighting

She summarizes this earthly existence as follows:
"Women and fighting the dominant interests in fe"
Among certain kinds of animals, females and fighting
undoubtedly the only inerest-apart from getting
full stomach 1t may be that large percentage of
human beings should be classed with those wild animals
There emotions, however, entirely apart from
women and fighting, that have interested certain men
and women There several hundred million women
on earth that have been excited about a baby
than any about or a fight
And Newton, working toward success in mathemati-
cal calculation, that to prove his discovery of
great truth, excited by the beauty of truth
that he overcome, could not continue, and com
PEELED to let some one else finish the calculation for him
