Village Has No Poor.

Stony Bottom. w. Va, village OF
forty-two families, challenges the
world for the honor as the most
model and contented town.
There are just thirty-five families
with an average of four persons each
in the village who own their own
homes and seven other families who
pay the landlord for their domiciles.
OF the thirty-five home owners but
one has an encumbrance on his prop
erty, and that is small and will be
cleared off within sixty days. A fine
undenominational church counts every
resident of the town as member.
There are no poor people in Stony Bot
tom, neither are there any who can
claim to be rich. None Is In debt.
Twelve automobiles are owned by resi-
dents of the village. Everybody ap-
pears happy and contented with life.
Exchange.

"HoIdino Touether."

In the preface to The Glass of
Fashion" reference Is made to a letter
written by the artist. Burne-Jones, to
Mary Gladstone. This idealist broke
forth into lamentation over the quar-
rels and trivial animosities which too
often exist between men of genius.
MY DEAR" he exclaims, IF twelve of
these men would hold together for ten
years, the whole world aspect would
now be changed, and twelve men did
once hold together and the whole face
of the world was changed"
Why cannot this wise comment be
applied to the existing groups In any
city and village. e.. to its churches,
its schools, its lodges. Its clubs and
what not? How great would be the
good to individual and community !
The very fact of communities hold
ing together" would itself be the mil
