The gangster's days are fun Of strife,
but busy life and then goes under
ground. Some morning. yawning full
and wide, he steps outside his door;
then some one takes him for q ride, and
he, comes back no more. The normal
man can look ahead and plan q green
old age; the chances are that long nell
at last he's due to leave this wearysvale
of woe, his friends win stand around
and grieve and hate to see him 60. It
is a comfort thus to plan for calm de-
cIining years; 1t braces up the weary
man Waeneer this dream appears. The
gangster, logged by dangers dire, can't
thus with pleasure look to CHEEKY eve
nings by the fire in his warm ingle-
nook. The well known law he has
defied, and he has shed some gore;
then some one takes him for . ride, and
he looms up no more. He has some
hopes Of growing rich, but ere his
dreams come true the crowner fil1dS him
in o ditch, his headpiece shot In two.
He may have hopes of being king Of
9anglard for o time, Of being master
of 3 ring that deals in widespread
crime. But fortune seldom does pro-
vide the llonors he'd adore, for some
one takes him for ride, and he shows
I'D no more. And It seems strange that
men forsake white virtues shining

take. this road Of dole and wrath. And

Today in
Washington History

July rs, 1S59.-The goose question
continues to agitate many residents Of
Washington. It now appears that the
mayor has given favorable consideration
to the applications of owners Of geese
found wandering in. the city streets and
seized by police officers, to permit the
return Of their birds. Many OF them
although perhaps not all--win doubtless
be restored soon.
But q serious problem has arisen in
this connection. Nobody seems to know
how the owners are going TO identity
their property in such drove OF geese
Some persons have suggested that the
best thing to do would be to turn the
whole drove out in the streets and allow
each goose to ind its own way home.
Since the goose petitions have been
favorably received by the mayor. appli-
cations have been made to his honor
for the return of swine seized by police
officers. They contend that they are
just as much entitled to have theiI
property restored as the owners of geese
It seems likely that the mayor, having
once set q precedent in this regard, viii
md 1t advisable to return the swine,
too.
The officers who took the geese and
hogs into custody merely did their duty
and now have nothing more to do with
the goose and hog question.
After they are taken to the asylum
the geese and hogs are appropriated
under the law for the use OF "the poor
of the inflrmary" Where the authority
to restore them to their owners comes
from nobody has been able to md out
The persons taking them are entitled
to IS cents for each gose and 81 fol
each hog.
The goose question has assumed an
other aspect at the city hall. It seems
that the mayor. yielding to the en-
treaties Of the female owners Of the
fowls, has issued an order for the re-
turn Of 1853 geese. But an investiga-
ton has disclosed that there are only
lao geese at the asylum and that nc
more we're turned in to that institu-
ton by the police officers. This places
the city authorities in q rather en-
barrassing situation.
It Is believed, Of course, the owners Of
the geese made the most Of their losses
and probably stated them in "round
numbers" But it would be rather 9
wry joke at the expense of the police
men, If they lost their labor in taking
the strayed geese to the asylum and
at the same time were obliged to foot
the bill Of 20 missing birds.

Text: "Sit thou silent."-Is. Xvii.
We think Of . sanctuary Is . place
of refuge from the cares and worries Of
life. as q place where we may be free
from the harassing voices and perplex-
ing things Of the world, as a place to
which We may 60 for quiet season OF
worship and meditation upon holy
things. A period Of silence rightly OBJ
served anywhere may become to US a
sanctuary. A material edifice Is not
necessary to afford this sanctuary Of
silence The only thing required to
have this sanctuary Is to rightly observe
the. prophets direction. sit thou
Are you troubled with thoughts that
are heavy and dark? Do you feel weary
and careworn? Are you bewtldered and
overweight over some distressing
situation? Are you oppressed and
burdened with anxiety? Has your brain
from experiencing and seeing SO much
Of the feverish straining and clashing
conflicts of worldly life? And are you
looking for Q sanctuary Of refuge and
relief? "Sit thou silent" Enter into
tohine inner chamber, and having shut
thy door. pray to thy Father who is
In secret" Spend o while in the sane
tuary Of silence. Here, as thousands OF
others have found, you will md relief
from those circumstances that disturb
and distress you. You will find re-
freshment and renewal for your tired
brain and weary heart. You viii find
Q new understanding that will help you
to master conditions. You will find q
mental and spiritual regeneration that
will restore to you the power to think
hopefully. BEAUTIFULLY, triumphantly
Leave the world and its affairs outside
and come apart for o little season into
this blessed sanctuary of silence.

PSYCHIC ADVENTURES OF
NOTED MEN AND WOMEN
The Clock Which Arthur Levy Twice Heard Announce Death
By J. p. GLASS.

The next morning it was decided to
call q clockmAker. He examined the
timepiece, but found nothing wrong with
it. He could offer no explanation OF
the noise.
The next development made the whole
family pause. Word come that Nine.
Levys father had died suddenly. And
evening and at about the. same time
that the clock had spoken 90 strangely.
Were the two happenings merely CO.
incidental? II was decided that this
was the case. They were discussed
interestedly for Q time and then almost
forgotten.
Almost O year passed. Then one
Winter evening the clock again began
that inexplicable whirring.
M. Levy and his wife looked ut each
other anxiously. The children shivered.
Would there be another death?
Word quickly came that . faycrite
uncle had passed on!
His demise had occurred ut exactly
the hour the clock had whirred.
So far as we know, those happenings
were never repeated. But 1t Is easy to
accent Arthur Levy's statement that
ever after that the clock was IN object
of anxiety in the family, and that 1t
the slightest unusual noise made by 1t
frightened eyes were turned to It.
Can we try to interpret these COIN
cidences as symbolic?" asks Flam-
marion. What Is o clock or watch?
It Is an instrument for measuring time.
Now, time Is the essential element Of
life and leads to death. Chance, placed
at the service Of the calculus Of proba-

themselves left out of things. Besides
that, ones word was ones word. Once

no clean shirt. His mother was sick
and the rest Of the family were out, %
he went to Prof. ESputa to tell Of his

The shirt was much too large and
the collar SO loose 1t had to be pinned.
When 1t came Johnny's turn to play,
the pin gave way, the shirt began to
slip, he forgot his notes. and then
rushed of the stage wishing that he

able noises about houses are discounted
as evidences of supernatural happenings
by many Investigators, but what Is TO
be said Of the strange behavior Of the
clock in the boyhood home OF Arthur
Levy, the French historian, whose books
on Napoleon Bonaparte have been read
all over the world?
This wei known writer spent his life
dealing with historical facts. and In
communicating the story Of the clock
to Camille F1ammarion. the celebrated
astronomer and psychic investigator, 1t
appears that he was actuated merely by
curiosity over an unexplained event,
and not o belief that he was revealing
q supernatural development.
The parents Of Arthur Levy lived In

I have designated sea fish in my title.
I'll give you the reason.
It has been proved conclusively that

of the thyroid gland without any other
symptoms-is due to either . deficiency
Of iodine In the diet or water, or TO
some arrangement Of the intestinal
tract which prevents its absorption II
the normal amount Is taken. Young
folks, especially girls, are prone TO have

In iodine. Therefore, sea hsh (this in

that the island Is small and sea air Is

count for the lack Of goiter there.
