Two years previous he had left home
and pretty Ethel Rayner to seek his
fortune
Just after his arrival at Cape Town
ne had come across a poor feyer-strick-
en- wretch, homeless, friendleSs. This
was his present companion, or rather
his pensioner, Eaclav Polskl. The
young man had been a crack target
performer with a show that had be-
come stranded. He had been aban-
doned to his misery and poverty
Polski was just recovering from his
Illness His gratitude, his fidelity to-
ward Beresford was touching.
Two weeks to a day after leaving
the mines the little party of three ar
rived at Dykeman's Gulch. They
camped in the valley.
1t was shortly after eight o'clock
when the moon clearing a lofty ledge,
cast its full refulgence upon the face
Of the great steep bluff
1T is there-see! look l have not
deceived YOU" shouted the exultant
expert, as way up the cliff there shot
out a thousand rainboW-tinted threads
of light.
I'll we could only mark the spot"
murmured Beresford.
Bang!"
Beresford turned startled-bang!
bang bang bang bang and so
dozen times He viewed Polski stand
ing with his repeating rifle directed
forward.
1T is donem cried the skilled
marksman. 81 have marked a circle
directly about the focus Of light"
but the marks will not show in the
daytime?"
"PlainIy,' declared the ingenious
fellow, 81 shot chalk bullets
And with the dawn the adventures
saw way up there aloft an unmistak-
able series of plain white marks, de-
noting the center Of the diamond glow.
It was the intrepid Polski who in
sisted on being lowered over the cliff.
It was he who brought aloft a dozen
radiant gems by freak of nature
planted far out Of ordinary human
reach.
A fortune for each of the three adj
venturers lay in the precious Jewels.
"See," cried Bra2elton. as he held
the largest of them in his fingers. "a
kings ransom. oh, it is the most
beautiful thing in the worldw
Except Ethel" breathed Bruce
Beresford feryently, land Ethel means
home friends, happiness and lovel"
And Vaclav POlslSl kissed the hand
Of his almoner and friend, tears Of Joy
in his faithful eyes and asked only to
go back to civilization and hope with
him.

Earthquakes at Sea.

An eruption occurring at sea IS called
seaquake and the chief effect is the
production Of huge waves and violent
commotion Of the water of the sen In
1854, during an earthquake at Sir oda,
Japan, the waters OF bay were first
agitated, then retreated, leaving the
bottom bare in places where the water
had been 30 feet deep. A wave 30
feet high then rushed in and swept
everything in Its path. Other earth
quake waves have destroyed cities and
shipping; part of the destruction in
the Messina earthquake was caused by
a wave produced 10 this way.

GRAVE DIGGERS BOOST PRICES

It's going to cost more to die up in
Bridgeton this year than it did in 1921,
according to the Daily Pioneer of that
city. On April 9th, the Overlook
Cemetery Co., of Bridgeton, advanced
the price of grave digging so per cent,
or from $40 to Is for each new grave
dug. Notices to this effect were sent
to all of the undertakers there. No
reason or explanation was given, the
Pioneer says, for the advance, and it
goes on to state that the original
charge for opening a plain grave in
Overlook Cemetery was only IS; but
a few years ago the cost was doubled.
Now that the original sum asked has
been trebled, the editor of the Daily
views the situation up there with
alarm and expresses grave fear that
this arrangement may work hardship
on the masses of the people.
Not long ago the Bridgetonians
adopted a rather fetching slogan:
"Bridgeton will get you yet" Perhaps
this latest move of the Overlook Gene
terry officials may be made necessary
because of the falling off in their bust
ness, in which case, if it were gener-
ally known, Bridgeton would get a
good many more, as it would only be
natural for those who cling to life to
seek a spot where the chances of lon
gevity are greatest. So there may be
more in that slogan C~"Bridgeton will
get you YETI than appears on the
surface.

questions incorrectly he was no doubt
silent at times when he could have re-
sponded. And he probably made other
mistakes through nervousness.
1t is not only teachers who must
contend with consequences of such a
course. A few days ago l saw a child
who was ill scream and pull the covers
over her head as soon as the physician
neared the bed. "If you don't hush the
doctor will grab your tongue" said
the mother. Of course the child's fear
was only increased. Naturally it was
impossible to accurately diagnose her
case as she had worked herself into a
serious nervous state.
Later the same physician remarked
to me, why won't people teach
children that we want to help, not
hurt them?' He then cited many in
stances where adults had threatened
children with the doctor" if they
didn't obey. For obvious reasons such
a course is very unfair to the physi-
clans and the children who gain such
harmful conceptions.
Every child should learn that UNI
pleasant consequences inevitably fol-
low certain actions. But to teach a
child to fear individuals, real or fanci-
full, is an injustice to the child, to those
who are to share the responsibility of
guiding him and to each member Of the
society of which he becomes a part.
1t is through knowledge and not fear
that he learns self-control and respect
for principles of right and laws of
society.
DR.. Carroll d. Wright, formerly Com
missioner of Labor for the United
States, emphasizes the Importance of
kindergarten education in relation to
moral development as follows:
1.-The kindergarten aims especially
to develop the child on his social
and moral side. He learns that
what is customary in the mutual
relations of right thinking people is
right. He learns through active CO.
operation in games and associated
work that without kindness, justice
and truthfulness, social life is
neither comfortable, nor for any ex-
tended time ever possible"
The little children of your commu-
nifty have as much right to the advan-
tages of the public school as their
older brothers and sisters. If no
kindergarten has been provided for
them, write for information, advice,
and literature to the National Kinder

FEAR A MENACE TO CHILDREN
By Bertha Mason

various direful punishments to be adj
ministered by policemen, doctors,
teachers, COLLINS and numerous imagi-
nary beings.
A f~ive-year-old boy entered a prim-
airy room in September. His eyes were
weak. That, however, did not explain
his evident fear of the teacher. If
she approached to help him he in
variably crouched to one side and
never once responded with more than
a questioning half smile to her efforts
to put him at ease. OF course she called
upon the child's mother. During the
conversation the mother said, "We
want him to mind and we told him you
would almost beat him to death if he
didn't. l think he believes us too"
She seemed quite proud that her boy
would "obey" not seeming to consider
that submission is\not always disci-
pline. To the teacher it was pitiful.
The child's effort to see resulted in
an inevitable v strain. Through
fear of consequences if he answered
