Thief Drops $500 in Cash.

Entering his poultry house to inves-
tigate the mysterious disappearance of
80 Of his finest fowls, Farmer Schrock,
of Listie, Pa, found leather wallet
containing 5000 in good United States
greenbacks.
That was several days ago. Mr..
Schrock spread the news of the loss
of his chickens and his find of the
money among his neighbors.
Thursday a claimant for the money
communicated with Scrock and wanted
his money. The owner-alleged as
well-known in the neighborhood-ad-
mitted that he had taken the chickens
and coolly Informed Schrock that he
had lost his pocketbook somewhere
about the hen house" After identi-
flying his property, he stated that he
was perfectly willing that Schrock
should take fair and reasonable
sum for the purloned chickens and
send him the balance.
Schrock, however, was of different
mind The self-confessed chicken
thief, according to the farmer, shall
not dictate the terms. Either he will
pay for his crime according to the law,
or he will settle with Schrock for all
damages incurred during the chicken
stealing tour, and in the meanwhile
he is holding on to the 5000.

4 Rubber Road in Ceylon.

Experiments are being carried out
ey the Colombo municipality in the
use OF rubber as a oad-surface dress
ing, writes United States Consul
Marshall NJ. Vance. The dressing,
which is the invention of a Ceylon
rubber planter, is now being used
on portion of barley road, which is
one Of the most used thoroughsares
in Colombo.
The solution is made from pure
bark and scrap rubber. The method
of laying is similar to that employed
with tar and asphalt preparations, il
being heated until liquid and then
spread on the road with brooms. Fine
gravel is then sprinkled over the So
luton and a steam roller binds the
two.
The experiments so far show that
this solution is easier to handle than
tar. 1t is a secret formula and the in
ventor is still working towards its
perfection.
The cost of the liqv d-rubber road
dressing is so 10 IS per cent more
than that of tar, but I is found that
a tar dressing in Ce' IN must be re-
newed every three four months,
while rubber dresei~, is expected to
last from eight to nine months or
longer

A Welcome Feature.

The intelligence tests that the eX-
perts in psychology use naturally puz-
zle the children a little. They are not
quite clear in their minds just what
it is all about, as this little story from
Everybody's Magazine shows:
Recently in one of the public schools
on the lower East Side of New York
City the children underwent the Bline
test. One of them, having been grad
ed as subnorma!, was sent to the In
stitute for the feeble-minded, but,
since the directors of that institution
decided that she was too near normal
ity to be suited to their methods, she
promptly returned to her old school.
Her mates, who thought that she had
gone permanently, were astonished to
see her, and one Of them explained:
minnie, she went away to get eX-
amined to be an idiot, but she didn't
pass"

If you were finally cured through

Wouldn't you be grateful?
The following statement has been
given under just such circumstances:
Mr.. Kretzer has used Doan's Kidney
pills.
He publicly tells of the benefit he
has received.
His is a simple act of kindness TO
other Shepherdstown sufferers,
No need to experiment with such
convincing evidence at hand.

You can rely on what he tells you.

standard Of what others do. Now and

they make SO much noise about it that
in the confusion we frequently lose
sight of the work that they do.
"On the other hand, there are per-
sons whose service is spontaneous and
generous. They utter no complaint;
they call no undue attention to their
work; they give their money and their
talent alike cheerfully and gladly. Ap-
parently they never think of them

devotion and bring spiritual refresh

Joy of every pastors heart; thcy are
