A Duty to Perform

The man who makes money in q
community has duty to perform to
that community 1t may be that he
has made his money by his superior
business ability. and that he would
have done as well elsewhere. That
does not alter the case. II his gifts
are great his responsibility is equally
as great. No man was placed on earth
for the sole purpose of making money,
and the man who has this as his ideal
had better never have been born. 1t
is not an act of charity, but the per
formance of simple duty for the
man who has made money to pass q
little Of It on for the benefit of the
community, even though he never e1-
poets to see a dollar Of his contribu-
ton come back.

eighty years. None have written
with more feeling. nor attained more
sublime heights in description nor
woven into their work more OF hui

This is tho masterpiece and embraces
all OF the characteristics of a Greek

There is but little use to attempt
to convey further TO the reader the

Natrona County. 1t could never be
done half so well as Mr.. Mokler has
done It. In this brief resume just a

When Sequenenra was slain in
battle, Aah-hetep was forty years
old and still madly in love with
her husband. Under the leader
ship of one of her sons, Aahmes,
war was waged more energetical-
ly than ever and gradually the
Hyksos were overcome. Aah-
hetep's heart never ceased to
grieve for her warrior-lover-hus-
band. Aahmes and Kames, her
oldest boys, understood and tried
to make her forget her sorrow
with exquisite gifts of jewelry.
1t is chiefly in connection with
these beautiful gifts that she is
thought of today.
The jewels found on her body
are of the finest workmanship.
30 great was the wealth known
to have been buried with her that
her body was repeatedly moved
to foil robbers. At last, how
ever, marauders were successful
in reaching her coffin. But it
seems that they were unable to
carry 1t any distance. They
buried it under a few feet of
sand, close by the tomb. evident

fact that time was flying and
that he, Bill Peck, had business

ordered a soda that the wait
might seem shorter and as he
slipped it he kept one eye on the
booths. The dog sat on an empty
stool looking up wistfully at him.
Bill had an inspiration; he knew
how to empty those booths. With

It was too bad that Bill didn't
