All the little turkey chicks awoke

Down here on the ground, under

'Oh, no; you can't be grandmother,

too gruff.

there was a pot of wagon grease.

The Days Test

Begin the morning by saying to thy
self 1 shall meet this day with the busy
body, the ungrateful, the arrogant, de-
ceitful, envious, unsocial. All these
things happen to them by reason of
their ignorance of what is good and
evil. But l who have seen the nature
of the good that is beautiful, and Of
the bad that is ugly, can neither be
injured by any of them-for no one
can fix on me what is ugly-nor can /
be angry with my neighbor, nor hate
him. We are made for cooperation !;
to act against one another that is con-
trary to nature, and it is acting against
one another to be vexed and turn
aWay-Marcus Aurelius.

Motorists Adopt a Saint

French motorists have adopted st.
Christopher lie Jejolet as their patron
saint. According to legend st. Chris
topher, who was of giant stature,
crossed the River Jordan one dark
night, carrying the Divine Infant, at a
place where the river waters ran
strongly. Motorists now use road
near the spot and more than 100000
motorists, cyclists and airmen are said
to have formed themselves into a
brotherhood of sportsmen whose
spiritual home will be the little church
in Normandy where reliquary may
be found containing the bones of the
saint

Haze Qou 7 his Habit

while looking in, but eventually a
hand would steal up to the hair, or
shoulder would move appraisingly.
The other night the professor was
waiting for his train on a crowded
subway platform. Halfway down was
one of those conveniently placed
chewing gum slot machines each of
which had twelve-by-eight-inch mir
ror set In above the pHsh-buttons.
Before it a very tall man was bend
ing and bowling. Quite honestly and
entirely unconsciously he was rear
ranging his collar and smoothing his
hair. He had placed his packages on
the shelf under which the chewing
gum is locked. His hat he had hung
on one of the pushes. After taking
off his tie, he readjusted the button
at his neck, made a new bow, and
then, his fingers and palm taking the
place of comb and brush, he parted
and smoothed his hair to his salts
faction, and put his hat on again Mt
the right slant. Finally he pressed
penny in the slot and went off s.
made man.
On the whole, decided the professor,
mirror-gazing is a disappointing habit,
1t leads to self-consciousness and,
self-consciousness once fastened upon
you, heaven help you-the doctors
cannot. Look long and carefully and
critically at yourself in your own
glass before you go forth from your
own room. Then forget what manner
of manor woman-you are-or
would be-for the rest is upon the
knees of the gods.
HAVE YOU THIS HABIT?

Lost Records Found

The last records of an explorer lost
in the desert in Africa 40 years ago
have just been discovered. In 1870,
Friedrich Rolfe undertook to cross the
Lybian desert, one of the most barren
and pitiless wastes in the world. He
never was heard of again. This year
an expedition sent out by Prince Ke-
NAL ed Din found cairn of stones.
and when they took it apart, discov-
cred within it a sealed bottle contain
ing manuscript The latter proved
to be the records of the lost explorer.
These were forwarded to Germany.
and were found to contain scientific
data of considerable interest and
value.

The name Irene was very frequent
among Greek expresses and belonged
to the lady who would fam have added
herself to the list of Charlemagne's
many wives. It is from her that the
Russians have it. as Eereena, and in
the ancient Greek colony at Sorrento,
where the women's features strongly
recall their Hellenic descent, Irene is
one of the most popular baptismal
names.
Irene's Jewel is the jacinth, which is
commended especially to travellers,

IRENE

pERHAPS the most disputed name
4 in the lexicon of feminine proper
names, from the standpoint Of pro-
nunciation, is Irene, signifying peace.
The accent of the syllable has
changed within the past couple of
years, and the final sc" is now sounded
by the fashionable, who have adopted
the name.
The origin dates back to heather
days when Eireen, peace, was persona
fed and adored as goddess. In
Christian times, when peace on earth
was preached she was formed into a
name which was known as Irene. The
first Irene of much fame was the
pious widow whose care revived st.
Sebastian after his first martyrdom,
and in 303, three sisters, Agape Qove),
Irene and Chionia, underwent martyr
dom at Thessalonica, but Irene seems

"Moneyo Not Uniuersal

Money is such a usual article that
one would be surprised to find peo-
pie without it, and people who did
not understand the use of it. Yet
there are hundreds of races who have
never used it, and others who have
very different ideas of the use Of
money from our own.

bounded for home. He had lost his
breakfast. but so sick was he, he
cared little for that-indeed, he did
not care at that moment if he never
tasted turkey again as long as he
lived.

Even though the years mount
high.
'Tis this Case of mine that shows
How Times river swiftly flows.
But MYSELF, this thing called

Still runs on as youthfully
AS in those good days of yore
When my years were twenty

And If so the Case wears out
I have not the slightest doubt
There awaits another one
Out beyond the setting sun,
Where in happiness I'll dwell
For another youthful spell.

Pastor Holds Young Couple
Otherwise Would Have Com
mitted Grave Errors

HAGERsTOWN, Nd, July II.
Declaring before God and
man" that he believed he did
right in marrying fourteen-year-
old Rosa May Lonas and Charles
Offenbacher, a runaway couple
from Winchester, Va, at his home
in this city at 3 o'clock in the
morning on May q. last, the
white-haired and venerable Rev.
erend v. A. Lonier, pastor of
Washington Square Methodist
Church, appeared before Justice
J. Scott Bower in the city court
late yesterday, after he had been
notified by Sheriff Richard Duff
fey that a warrant had been
sworn out against him by Police
man W. H. Reynolds charging
him with marrying girl under
legal age.
Doubted Girls Age.
There was no hearing, and the
aged minister was released until
the justice could consult further
with States Attorney e. r.
Roulette. What further action, if
any, will be taken, the authorities
would not say.
Asked why he married the
couple, Reverend Lonier said: ''Al.
though doubling that the girl was
eighteen, as stated in the marriage
license, but convinced that she was
sixteen or seventeen and Of legal
age, I observed her physical condi-
ton and believed that it would be
better for them to sustain a moral
and legal relation than an immoral
and consequential illegal one.
II am the victim of circum-
stances" he said. 1T is all petty
jealousy on the part of some min.
listers of the Gospel here"
The aged minister said he under.
stood that he has been accused Of
paying taxicab men to bring wed.
ding couples to his home. This he
emphatically denied. This matter,
he said, he understands has been
the ubtect of discussion by the
Hagerstown Ministerial Association
and he has been criticized by that
body for accepting too many couples
TO marry.
He declared that It is part Of his
clerical duty to perform marriages in
legal manner. He denied ever
soliciting weddings and said he has
often refused to marry couples
when one or the other applicant
appeared to be under the legal age.
IT have been in the ministry for
thirty.four years, and this is a
serious blow to me-" Reverend
Lonier said. He was former pastor
of Methodist Churches in Baltimore
and Mt. Savage, Md.
The Reverend E. T. Mobray, dis.
trict superintendent of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, began today
an investigation Of the charges.
Doctor Mobray and the Reverend
Doctor Vernon N. Ridgely, pastor Of
St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal
Church, called at police headquar.
ters last night and were in confer.
ence with the authorities in refer.
ence to the charges. The nature
of the charges was explained to
them, as was the evidence upon
which the charges are based.
