has yet to be discovered. The
rule of the judges in Israel was
q turbulent one. Only Samuel,
the last and greatest of these
judges, brought to the land any
thing like q semblanee Of law
and order. The sons Of Samuel,
however, were wicked and cor
rupt men. When the people saw
their great Judge advancing in
years, and realized that he could
not rule much longer, they began
to clamor for a king.
1t was obvious that the sons of
Samuel had not inherited either
his greatness or his honesty. The
people, in desiring a king, were
actuated partly by a dread of
conditions that would follow the
death of Samuel and partly
through a desire for the glory
and splendor that was associated
with a kingdom.
The elders of the tribes came
to Samuel with their petition.
The old prophet and Judge did
not relish the idea of a change
in government. He told his fol-
lowers that the setting up of a
monarchy meant a departure
from all of the traditional GUS
toms of Israel. He warned them
of increased taxes to come. The
change, he said, was to be
mixed blessing at best. But he
yield>d to the demand and Saul,
the son of Kish, of the tribe of
Benjamin, was chosen to be
king.
1t is rather significant Of the
later career of Saul that it is
recorded Of him that when he
was chosen king ''he hid him
self among the stuff" Later in
life he was to miss many OPP
portunities. But he was q
capable fighter, and he laid the
foundation for the glory Of the
later reign of David.

Aristotle CleUer in
EUading Royal Wrath

Alexander the Great met defeat
when he tried to obtain ownership
and exclusive control of the writ
ings Of Aristotle. During the
philosophers second sojourn in
Athens he gave instructions to the
youthful world conqueror and pre-
pared number Of compositions
especially for his royal pupils in
struction. A little later Alex
ander wrote the following letter
to Aristotle:
You. have not treated me fairly
In including with your published
works the papers prepared for my
instruction. For If the scholarly
writings by which l was educated
become the common property Of
the world, in what manner shall I
be distinguished above ordinary
mortals? / would rather be note
worthy through possession of the
highest knowledge than by means
of the power in my possession"
To which Aristotle ingeniOusly
replied:
ut is true that through zeal Of
admiring friends these lectures,
originally prepared for thy instruc-
ton, have been given out to the
world, but In the full sense of the
term they have not been published.
For in their present form they can
only be understood when accom-
panied by the Interpretation Of the
author, and such Interpretation has
been given only to you" kansas

Lightning Thought to
Drill Hole in Glass

II any reader should find one of
his window panes perforated by q
perfectly round hole, without ap-
parent cause, the first question he
should ask is, Has there been a
thunderstorm in this neighborhood
recently? If the answer is in the
affirmative, he may conclude that
Jupiter Tonans, the lord of the
thunderbolts, in playful mood has
sent one of them through the glass.
In ordinary English, the pane has
been struck by lightning.
That is what probably happened
to the plate-glass window of New
York building recently. A minute
hole appeared mysteriously in the
glass. Three employees were at
work inside the window, and all
three heard distinct report. Par
ticles of glass fell on one Of them.
Search failed to reveal any bullet
or other object that might have
caused the hole. 1t seems to have
been due to one of the mysterious
FRANKS of lightning.

Have you noticed the quietness
of the Seniors of late? It is not at
all remarkable when you learn
that they are absorbed in the all
| important issue of selecting class
rings. Thursday of last week the
class met and inspected the wares
of two agents representing differ
ent companies. Favorite rings
were picked out and submitted to
committee of five discreet Sen
Tors who met recently to select the
best looking, best wearing, and
best all around rings from the lot.
In the near future the class will
meet to vote upon the various Sc
lections.
A short time ago the Juniors
called class meeting to complete
their unfinished business of pre-
vious meeting. Ed Kells was
chosen class secretary and Miss
Baker was elected as class advisor

poets of a delightful prom again

Disraelrs Birthplace

The late Lord Beaconsfield was
always very vague in his mind as
to where he had been born, but at
one time he firmly believed it to be
the house at the southwest corner
Of Bloomsbury square and Hart
street. Actually, says Mr.. Charles
g. Harper in "a Literary Mans
London" he did not go to live In
that house until he was twelve
years of age, and today bronze
tablet on the house testified to that.
Yet when he was the prime min
lister he visited this Bloomsbury
square house, and sat bordering
sin the room in which he was
bOrn!" Another anecdote Mr.. Har-
per has to tell Is of Disraeli when
he was nearing his end. When
his sovereign wished to call and
bid him farewell, he refused, be-
cause, he said, "She only wants me
to give message to the Prince
ConsOrt I"

Receiver Named for the
Wholesale Consumers CO.
Conduct 95 Stores in Northwest,
One at Sank Centre-lndebt-
edness Placed at 100000

The Consumers Wholesale Sup
ply Company, with headquarters
at Minneapolis, and operating 50
retail grocery stores in the north
west, principally in Minnesota, is
in the hands of "a receiver. The
action was takea last week when
three creditors made an applica-
ton for a receivership. They are:
Charles j. Hedwen Company, 49,
993.75; Hedwall, Sundberg Com
pany, $3.50, and Battin, Quinn
Paper Company, $7,480.65.
A law firm in Minneapolis had
been instructed to file an invol-
untary petition in bankruptcy
against the company, but in order
to conserve the assets of the con-
Germ, the appointment of receiv-
er was Immediately applied for.
The Consumers Wholesale Sup
ply Company started a store in
Sank Centre about two years ago.
It is Delaware corporation with a
capital of $2,500,000 with 100,-
900 shares, Of which 100000 was
authorized for Minnesota. They
operate a wholesale warehouse at
Minneapolis. 1t is claimed there
are no secured creditors.
Shortly after a big fire at their
warehouse, at 311 Fifth avenue
North, which started following a
New Years party for the employees
and which resulted in a loss of
approximately 100000, N. M.
Constans, who had been president,
severed his connection with the
company and a reorganization of
the affairs of the concern was
heralded. "A substantial reorgani-
cation, however, seems to have
gone by the board and the COM
pany was unable to meet it's obli-
cations.
The assets consist of merchan-
disc in amount of approximately
100000, fixtures $4,000, re-
funds and quick cash assets, $685.
900; total assets $275, 900.
The Indebtedness is substantial
ly as follows: Gold bond notes,
$250,000; due to merchandise
creditors, 1925, 900; due to bank,
$35, 900; due on notes for money
borrowed, $4,000; total indebt-
edness 100000. It is further
stated that the Indebtedness may
grow to larger figure.
John p. Miller, chairman of
the board of directors, was named
receiver, and immediately took
control. r.. C.. Strasser, general
manager, will aid Mr.. Miller in
reorganization. Mr.. Strasser has
been with the company but a short
time.

Keeps Car on Rails

Many people think that train is
kept on the rails by the fiange or
rim that is on the inside edge Of
the wheel. This flange steadies
the car, but does not keep it on the
rails. The rail is slightly rounded
on top, as is the rim Of the car
wheel, so that the wheel does not
rest squarely on the rail. The
outer circumference of the wheel is
smaller than the inner and the
wheel rests on the inner slope Of
the rounded rail. In running the
wheels press outward because It is
easier for them to run along the
smaller edge and on top Of the rail.
By pushing outward and exerting
the same force in opposite direc-
lions the wheels keep each other
balanced and on the rails.

Iguana's Accomplishment

In northern Australia the iguana
Is seen quite often. This is very
versatile reptile that "can run like
a horse, can swim and dive, shin
up a tree, digs its burrow, and,
when necessary, can fight like de-
mon. The iguana may go down
its hole to sleep for months, it can
go foodless for weeks; at other
times 1t will eat or swallow any
thing. Mr.. Terry says that snakes,
old socks, or even an unopened tin
Of jam are alike to it, when its
throat can gulp down such tasty
morsels.

Motors Lift Bridge

Most railroad bridges of the
lift type In the United States are
operated by electric motors served
by q power system. However, the
Pennsylvania railroad has bridge
across the Chesapeake and Della
ware canal that has no easy access
to central station power, so a gaso-
line engine generator set was in
stalled to supply the lift motors
with energy. A 110-kilowatt gas
engine set serves the two 100
horsepower motors. The lift span
Of the bridges, carrying two tracks,
weighs 700 tons and is raised to a
level that clears the water by 80
feet. If boat approaches the
bridge can be lifted to its top po-
sition In 80 seconds.

AdUised Columbus

Eratosthenes, ancient Greek
philosopher, is said to have deduced
the rotundity of the world and
measured its circumference. In the
Fifteenth century, Toscanelli,
Genoese scientist, came across his
writings and is said to have Inn
parted them to Columbus with the
assurance that If he sailed to the
west he would discover new lands.
