Chairman Payne Says.

"The year OF the great drought"

wrought great damage to millions.
Not alone did the crops. which were
burned in the fields in twenty-three
states. in the summer of 1880. deprive
several million persons of food. but
the drought disaster continued In the
summer OF 1881 in the northwestern
states. and also brought other minor
catastrophes in its wake. such as for
est fires, and the grasshopper plague.
More than a year has elapsed since
the American Red Cross launched, in
August. 1880. its first moves for relief
of the drought-stricken farmers. and

Sacred Manuscripts in
Profusion in Chicago

Rare gospel manuscripts, dating
back several centuries, have come to
light In the Greek, Armenian and Sy-
rian colonies Of Chicago, the Chicago
Association of Commerce announces.
Recent discoveries of important manu-
scripts have revealed Chicago as rich
hunting ground comparable with age
old cities of Europe and the Near
East.
The latest discovery, which has been
purchased by the New Testament de-
partment Of the University of Chicago,
is Thirteenth-century manuscript of
the gospels in Greek, and is regarded
by experts as being one of the finest
known pieces of cursive, or running
hand script, writing in any collection.
The manuscript was brought into the
United States in 1916 from Jamina,
the Albanian city noted for its mo-
nastic library of the Greek Orthodox
church. 1t was found in the posses
sion of Chicago dentist.

Tribal Customs of Old
and New Worlds Alike

From A. D. As, when the Hungarians
conquered and epslaved the Magyars
to 1862, when the Hungarians were
split by enemies, the Hungarians con-
sisted Of ten tribes and it was their
custom to have each tribe recognize
a certain animal or bird as its sacred
animal, and in their own language
that is, the igor language-the called
such animal or bird their "totem." It
is surprising that Alaskan and North
American Indians also call such an
NAL or bird by the same name.
And 1t was the custom Of the Hun
garians Of those days to have each
man wear some part of the animal or
bird which his tribe recognized as Its
totem in his cap or headgear, in bat
ties and battle maneuvers, so that he
be easily distinguishable as to which
tribe he belonged. This also has a
striking resemblance to the custom Of
the North American Indians of wear
ing feathers on their heads.
And the name of one Of the princi-
pals of the Kuns was Akos, which in
their own language meant white
cloud" The Kuns were a relative
people to the MISUNDERSTANDING.

Seat of Knowledge

Some Of the geysers in Yellowstone
National park are irregular in their
eruptions, and tourists are lucky who
see some Of the most spectacular in
play. One Of these is the Bee Hive
geyser, with small crater, but erup-
tlon that shoots two hundred feet into
the air.
"Can you tell me the best way to
find out when the Bee Hive is going
to play" asked young lady Of an
Old-timer in the hills.
"Yes'm. Just 60 over and sit on
1t, and when you feel the hot water
tryln' to get out, you'll sure know it's
ready to play"

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

IRENE and Tommy, their walk
L ending in a quarrel, returned to
her home few minutes after the
party had gone to the station to
meet Beryl
Mrs Everett was about TO give
herself over to anxiety when Irene
took her aside and declared that
it was no more than they could ex-
pect.
Look how Beryl had treated them
all along-not saying a word
springing the whole thing on them
as II they we're outsiders That
was Just what they were to her
anyway. She didn't consider herself
one Of them.
If she hadn't felt that way, she
wouldn't have kept her fathers
name; she'd have called herself
Beryl Everett.
Just the same" Mrs. Everett pro-
tested, its not like Beryl to say
one thing and do another. And
she said she'd be home on the 11:57.
She could just make it from the
studio, she said, if she hurried"
Irene laughed IF she hurried"
she repeated insinuatingly. Maybe
that's the answer. Maybe she didn't
hurry"
"Oh, Irene, what do you mean?"
her mother walled, but Irene made
no answer, for in the front of the
house there was a sudden commo-
ton.
She's herel" someone exclaimed.
There's a car stopping before the
house"
Mrs. Everett ran to see who it
was and just as she reached the
door between the dining room and
the living room Beryl came tum-
bling into the hall.
Came tumbling literally, for she
had cartwheeled through the front
door on a rug that slipped. When
her mother reached her she was sit
ting In a heap Of flowers, sitting a
laugh in the sudden embarrassment
Of finding herself unexpectedly fac
ing a roomful of people.
She got up, let herself be con-
graduated and praised, and then
apologized.
Il didn't expect there'd be anyone
here but the folks" she explained,
and 1 couldn't hold in any longer"
mo one would expect you to be
dignified, dear" Irene said sweetly.
Beryl did not appear to hear.
Some ones got to come out and
help lug in the flowers" she invited
They're dumped on the curb"
Why didn't you have the taxi
driver bring them in2" her mother
asked.
Taxi driver?" Beryl repeated.
Then she laughed THAT was Mr.
Gaylord's car and his driver" she
said and stuck out her chest in I'M
abashed boastfulness. Think of
that, folks! A limousine!
III bet the drivers sore. He has
to go all the way back to New York
tonight. But I had to have some
way to get the floral pieces out here.
Wait until you see what the darling
gang sent mel"
r
CHE bounded out ahead of them
~ and all but Irene followed, fired
by her animation and high spirits
Even Tommy went along.
Everyone gasped and cried out in
admiration of the "bowkay" her
gang had sent to Beryl. 1t was in
deed an exceptional Offering - a
radio made entirely of flowers, paid
for with the proceeds of the "bene-
At" show that ostensibly had been
given for Shocks.
AS her friends we're carrying II
up to the front porch, Beryl was
besieged by the gang in person. The
boys came out of the dark from
every direction and swarmed all over
her, each striving to be the first OF
their number to congratulate her
Beryl welcomed them with open
arms. When she got to the light

senting to them the truth about
conditions there and showing them
the difficulty Of getting a chance.
