NOTHING NEW

4 IFE is always the same. The scenes
change and the costumes change,
but the plays are always the same.
AS man reacts to but limited number of
stimuli, the sum total of human activities
is always constant.
Substitute train" for stage COACH"
automatic for "sword;" "Klassy Kut
Kolege Klothes" for "doublet and hose"
and romance of the Middle Ages be-
comes tale of modern life. The whole
motley gang of the romantic past is here.
Swashbuckers masterless men, soldiers
lately returned from the war, latch lifters,
cut purses, brawlers, strikers, runagate
knaves and strolling actors, villeins and
burghers and troubadours.
The very ground upon which the plays
are staged is but a remaking of the old.
Our oldest rocks are the Archaean. They
are hard and crytalline but they are not
a part of the primitive, fire formed crust
of the earth. They are sedimentary and
but the worked over material of older
lands.
Even the mechanical and chemical adj
vancements of which we boast are, per-
haps, but a part of secrets before known
to a civilization higher than our imper-
feet one. Floyd w. Parsons in recent
article writes: Professor Stoddy, the
worlds erestsst living authority on the
transmutation of the elements and re-
rowned professor of chemistry at Oxford,
suggests that similar and more mar
velous development may have happened
once or oftener in the history of man on
earth. He says it is scientifically possible
that by means of controlled radioactivity
that long forgotten civilization not only
communicated with other planets but
actually flew from earthi to some more
hospitable and kindlier sphere leaving be-
hind only the british animal forms from
which the human race of today has
evolved. Nothing but the most sublime
egotism of present man prevents us from
recognizing the possibility that the rapid
advance we have made in science in the
recent short period of recorded history
may have occurred before perhaps many
times during the vastly longer period of
earth history of which we have no record.
The command over Nature we have at
tained may have been greatly exceeded in
ages past"
The first chapter of Ecclesiastes, ninth
and tenth verses read: "The thing which
hath been, it is that which shall be; and
that which is done is that which shall be
done: and there is no new thing under
the sun.
as there anything whereof it may be
said see, this is new? it hattie already
been of old times, which was before us.
There is no remembrance of former
things. Neither shall there be any re-
membrance of things that are to come
with those who come after"

BUCKNG FATE

BY Mr.. H. ".

I'M replaced his notebook and unused
Y to himself-"This old gent has paid
eight hundred dollars in twenty-five
years, for a place to smoke twice month.
Lost forty dollars sick benefits when he
needed them most, because he was four
days late in paying his dues. Needs
place to relax his mind. By heck! I
wonder how many working men use their
minds in regard to their own welfare?
Mine is little rusty from non-use, but
can see right now that this Queer Mems
lodge is aptly named. l rather think
that will keep my money in bank, and
buy a place in which to smoke and use
my mind at night" Thus Jim had
learned his first lesson in sound business.
A few days later, Hicks went to work
for the Auto Supplies Co. In week Re
had learned how to assemble oil pumps,
and was promoted to a drill press. Here.
his speed in drilling plunger rods with
C. needle-like No. lS drill, caused the for
man to suggest ''that as he had attained
tie usual daily output of rods in less than
a day, that he slack up a bit"
Jim saw that the foreman did not
relish having new man smash his time
honored records. 1t might look bad for
the foreman's efficiency. So shortly after
Jim was sent to the polishing department
where he learned treating felt wheels
with emery, and so on, until he had been
grinder, brusher, and finally buffer, He
was elated for his Saturday pay check
had now become twenty dollars and then
Fate interviewed. The factory burned
Great Caesar" complained Jim, bit
terly. "Fate again How in heck can
fellow buck Fate when she plays such
underhanded tricks as this'
But the next day, old Dame Fate
changed her tactics. AS he was walking
dejectedly along the street, Jim was sud-
denly greeted by familiar voice.
"Hello Hicks! By Gosh, what are
you doing in Metropolis?"
Mate Stiles!" countered Jim, "Well of
all the luck!"
As the two men conversed telling each
other their troubles, Jim learned that the
old man was working at beating carpets,
etc, when he could get such work to do
Then he was led to a delapidated old
tenement, and up two flights of stairs
Mates new found home, was that of an
old nickelplater named Dale, who eked
cut precarious living by plating knives,
spoons, etc, obtained by canvassing.
The old platter possessed small char
coal stove, about fourteen inches in height
and twelve in diameter, in the center of
which piece of three inch wrought-iron
pipe was fastened in an upright position,
the lower end being enclosed by screw
cap. The articles to be plated were first
thoroughly secured with pumice stone,
immersed in solution of sulphuric acid
and zinc, and then being quickly with
drawn, the acid removed by sharp
downward shake. 1t was then immersed
slowly in the molten nickel contained in
the three inch pipe, and as the article
was withdrawn it would glisten as sill
vered mirror, but as it gradually cooled
off, would turn to dull whtish color.

Saltwater, Minnesota, Thursday, May 10, 1923.

Much arduous rubbing was necessary to
brighten it even triAe.
Shortly after their arrival, the old
platter left to pursue his canvassing and
to deliver some already finished work,
and as Hicks and Stiles sat watching the
crude outfit, Jim decided to try out his
knowledge of buffing gained in the fac
tory. Taking his pocket knife, and an
old brass spoon which he found on the
table he did as he had seen the platter do.
Laying them aside he cut a number of
circular pieces of cotton cloth from a dis
carded bedsheet. These he put together
forming wheel of cloth and this in turn
was fastened upon the Aywheel of the old
sewing machine. By pulling a set pin
the hywheel was allowed to run free and
gained great speed as the machine pedals
were pumped. The knife and old spoon
were now subjected to this terrific fric-
ton and as Jim stepped back to survey
his work Stiles gasped in amazement.
"Dunder und Blitzen," cried the old
German. "By Cad, look at dat! They
shine like silver!"
Jim turned to the old man and replied,
"I've got a scheme Nate. l believe that
there is a chance to make money right
here with this old outfit. Let's try it."
"All right" acceded Nate
"You wait here, and I'll run over to
my boarding house and borrow some cut
lery from the cook, and we'll try it out,
chi?
Stiles nodded and grinned hopefully.
and in short time Jim returned with a
bundle of knives and forks Look here,
Nate. Pm the new foreman of this joint"
Jim remarked with wink. "Now, you
plate up this stuff, and keep it coming to
me, see?"
The two men worked like couple OF
kids who had found new toy, and the
entire lot was soon done. AS it lay
spread in rows upon a piece of white
cloth, it shimmered like the silver in
jewelers. show window, and, as a step
was heard outside, Jim cautioned Stiles
"Keep quiet now, and let me handle this
business" while he quickly removed the
makeshift buffing wheel and put it in his
pocket.
The old platter, upon entering the room
and catching sight of the array of shining
silver, exclaimed, Jerusalem! How did
you do it? Where did you get them?
Why say, you've found the secret that
I've tried to find for twenty years. Work
like that will sell like hot cakes
Look here, fellows" interrupted Hicks.
"There's chance for three to live in this
game, so why not start business as COM
pany? I've got hundred dollars;
enough to buy better outfit, and we'll
rustic some real business or else I'm
crazy" The others agreed and mutual
contract was drawn up which all signed.
At the boarding house, as Jim sat at
supper that evening, thin wiry appear
ing man with shrewd eyes remarked,
"Landlady must be prospering. Look at
the silvcrware."
"Hope she don't raise the board and
serve flowers, finger bowls, and shaded
candles, along with a jewelers. exhibit
and call it Delicatessen lunch," remarked
fellow boarder, while the others ex-
changed sly glances and giggled lightly

Hicks fer a-shining up the silver; and no

kitchen and both of them single" con-
concluded the Missus as she eyed Jim,
who now seemed somewhat disconnected
by his bashfulness, and the crowd Uttered
at his expense.
Soon after, as they arose from the ia
BILE, the little wiry looking man with the
shrewd eyes beckoned Jim to follow him
to his room. Mr.. Bell, as he was known,
was considered an eccentric sort of char
acter. A widower who summed compan-
ionship with most persons, who read
great deal, attended the theatre alone,
and who was often seen carrying long
business looking envelopes in his hand.
He was reputed to be wel-to-do, but lived
and dressed very plainly, which caused
some to class him with a dollar-chasing
New England Yankee. In fact, one
young man who had tried to borrow money
from Bell, and failed, remarked that BELL
was so tight and small that he could sit
on dollar and see the edge all around
it." The landlady, upon hearing this re-
mark, retorted, "Well, it's a wise man
that can take care of his money. A fool
and his money soon part"
As Hicks entered Bells room, the latter
surveyed him for a moment appraisingly,
ard then asked him to be seated. Jim
v@ndered what this usually very reserved
little man could wish to see him about.
Bell sat gazing intently at the floor,
while the fingers of his right hand beat
a tattoo upon the table. Suddenly he
stopped humping and raising his eyes to
meet Jim's scrutiny, he began speaking.
"Ah-hem! noticed the fine job of
lckel plating at the table tonight,- ,-ah-er-
l inferred, from the landlady's remarks,
that you did that work. Am 1 correct?"
eyes sir" replied Jim.
oughly then?" asked the old man.
"WelI, = fairly well - that is, I've
worked as a polisher and buffer for the
Motor Supply Co."
II see; but those knives were plated
also. How did you do that?"
ooh, l have couple of old friends,
cne of whom has been platter for many
years."
"Yes-yes-I see-ah-are you work
ing now?" asked Bell.
II have arranged to go into business
with my friends announced Jim with
hopeful expression.
by Jove!" exclaimed Bell That's a
good idea! The fact is. was thinking
of offering you start in that line myself"
Jim started with surprise, and Bell began
humping the table again. Presently he
arose and began pacing the floor in deep
thought. After several minutes of this,
he again resumed his seat and said: Look
here, Hicks. I've got good-sized fac
tory building near by that is empty, and
l own stock in several manufacturing
establishments, and I believe that l could
land their plating contracts if | had
way to handle them. Suppose that you
and your friends join with me in this
venture, upon a cooperative plan?"
Il would be willing, and | think the
others would also, but l have only hun
dred in capital, and they have none," re-
piled Jim rather dolefully. page 4, COL e)

L0VETTSVILLE SUFFERS
$4,000 FIRE Loss

Lovettsville, Va, was visited by a
| disastrous conflagration early Tues
day morning. which consumed the
town hall, in which was located the
village postoffice, and headquarters OF
the various fraternal organizations OF
the community, Grub Brothers gen.
eral store, and the only movie theatre
in the community. entailing loss OF
about $4,000.
The fire originated in the wareroom
of Grubb Brothers store and was dis
overed about IL o'clock by Mrs.
Lam ham, who had been asleep on the
second floor of the building, and who
was awakened by the smoke.
The store property was of brick and
stone construction, as was also the
town hall, the latter being owned by
the Masonic fraternity of that village.
The theatre, owned and operated by
T. j. Smallwood, was of frame con-
struction. The store and hall were
both covered by insurance, upon the
latter the insurance had just recently
been increased. There was no insur-
ance upon the theatre building.
The loss of property to the owners
is estimated at $40, 900 at least.
