The natives were in a state of the

were proving too much for them. and
a revolution was brewing. Yet the

vain to take the decisive step.

("King Dimbo is a tyrant and should

for every additional wife"

"Kincan yaybo wimbo yan!" Gle

MoOenert Sure Sign

There is IL philosopher who has a
department on the Craig Leader, and
here is his latest utterance:
Everyone has read that King Solo
mon had Il thousand wives. And the
queen of Sheba was the kings favorite.
She had brains. To test his ability she
once dressed a thousand boys and girls
alike and told the king to pick them
out, the boys from the girls. He had
each one wash their hands. The boys
washed their hands and part of their
wrists and the girls washed their
hands to the elbows. A wise old man.
But if the average man could stand
off and watch a thousand men come
down stair steps and just watch their
feet he could tell whether they were

down as If to bet they are going to
make it, while the old a feels his

HOBBIES

regular routine of everyday work in
which he finds pleasure and entertain.
ment. For instance, Chambers is an
engineer Of my acquaintance who
makes his living building bridges and
installing electric light plants, and es-
tablishing pumping stations. He is
much concerned every day with plans
and estimates, and calculations. His
business is very much mechanical.
His hobby is books. He has one of
the finest libraries, and one of the
rarest, in the large city in which he
lives. He would cross the continent
or make a trip to Egypt to pick up a
beautiful and unusual book. His
friends say he is crazy over the subject
of books, but he is in fact only an
enthusiastic %bibliophile who is kept
interested and alive and youthful be-
cause of his hobby. He has no time to
be bored with leisure or to be home
sick when he is away from home, for
he always has an interesting or q
rare book with him or his eye out for
a new one.
Johnson's hobby is golf. He sits at
a desk all day in a busy Office, he is
concerned with selling things and in
pushing the business with which he is
connected. If he did not exercise reg
ularly he would have a tendency to
grow stale. to put on weight, to de
velop an increased belt line. His golf
saves him. He has a little garden in
which before breakfast and after din
ner he practices putting; he takes all
the golf magazines, and he keeps up on
the champions, he knows all about the
best links in the country-and In other
countries, too, and instead Of talking
business when he gets home from the
office at night, and so firing out him
self and all the family, he talks golf
and has everybody crazy about it.
His Saturday afternoons he gives to
golf, and though he is a conscientious
and serious churchman, he manages
someway to choose an early or a late
service, so that 1t may not interfere
too much with his favorite game. As
a consequence he keeps rudy. and
slender, and good tempered. His hob
by will enable him to live longer and
to do more business than if he had not

TT is fitting that Eve, the Oldest
L name in the English language,
should mean 'life." 1.-THE mother of
all living" was originally called by
the title Chavva, which the Alexan-
drian Jews, coming upon in their
translation, rendered as Zoe. Later 1t
was Latinized as Heva and finally
becomes Eve on English lips.
Curiously enough, Eve has never
been a popular name in England. On
old parish registers il appeared in
isolated instances when a pair of
twins was christened Adam and Eve.
But the Latin form, which became Eva
in ireland and Scotland, also fiourished
in England and became popular in
Germany.
In this country, Eve has had great
er prevalence than Eva. The former
is a far more e%uphonioUs name, as
well as the finest of the old Biblical
appelIatives-a fact which appealed
strongly TO the Puritans. We have
also revived the title Of the Alexan-
drian Jews and Zoe is frequent in
modern times.

DHO SAID
Labor conquers
all things"

TT is said that when Homer, the
L great epic poet of ancient Greece,
was alive he lived in poverty and
travelled about from place to place
existing on the sparing hospitality Of
those who would shelter him for
the sake of hearing his adventures
related. Years after his death, when
his work began to be properly appreci-
ated, no less than seven cities Of
Greece fought for the honor Of calling
him a native of their locality. And to
this day it remains a mystery where
the mans real home was located.
Modern knowledge of Homer rests
upon his known works. When he was
born is as much a mystery as where
he was born. Historians agree in fix
ing the year of his birth sometime be-
tween 1000 and 700 B. c., and his
birthplace somewhere in Greece"
The poets best known works are his
Illiad and the Odyssey. The Illiad is
the story Of the siege of Illium, or
Troy, and relates the attempt to res
cue Helen, wife of the king Of Sparta,
whom Paris, son of the king of Troy,
had abducted.
The Odyssey concerns itself with
the adventures of Odysseus or Ulysses,
as he is better known. on his way
home from the battle of Troy and of
his welcome by his faithful wife, Pencil
ope, and the punishment of her pre-
sumptuOus suitors.
BY all of the great poetry critics of
the world Homer's work is ranked as
among the finest. His memory has
been further kept alive by numerous
busts-all of which, of course, ara
wholly ideal.-Wayne d. McMurray.
