Memorial to Crusoe

The government of Chile has
decided to make a national park
of Robinson Crusoe's island in
the Pacific, Juan Fernandez.
The cave where lived Alexan-
der Selkirk, the original of Rob-
inson Crusoe, the lookout from
which he watched for passing
ships, and his other associations
will now be in the care of keep
ers, and guides will be available
for visitors to the island.
Alexander Selkirk, the son of a
Scots shoemaker, ran away to sea
and rose to be sailing master in
one of Captain Dampier's priva-
teers in the South Seas. In Sep
TENDER, 1704, he quarreled with
his captain and had himself
landed with his effects on the I'M
inhabited island of Juan Fernan-
DEE. He lived there till January,
17O9, when Captain Wodes Rog-
ers took him on board.
Captain Rogers told his story
in a book three years later, and
it was mostly from this account
that Defoe built up his immortal
story for boys.

Gengllis Khan

Temuchin, son of Yesukai Bahia
dur, was born in 1852 near the
northern bend of the Hoang no
river, in Mongolia. He was only
IS when he assembled his fathers
throne and announced with youth
full confidence his intention Of con-
quering the entire world. He did
in 20 years become master of all
Asia and Eastern Europe, destroy
ing-it is estimated-in his wars
and expeditions at least 5000, 900
lives. History knows him by the
name he gave himself, Genghis
Khan ("greatest of kings''). He
was great as administrator as well
as warrior. He was tolerant in
religion, encouraged popular edu-
cation and established laws against
crime SO rigid that it was said that
one might travel from one end of
his vast domains to the other with
out molestation.

Peanut Declared Member
of Bean Family; Not N,

The peanut is not really a nut.
1t is a vegetable, belonging to the
bean family In the South it goes
under the lowly name of goober or
pindar, states a writer in the De-
troit Free Press.
The peanut has an interesting
personality. It is often called the
burrowing bean, because after the
flower fades the plant stems bend
over from height of about eight
cen inches and, like an ostrich
hiding its head, bury the pods in
the ground to mature. In the late
summer and autumn the nuts are
thrown out of the ground with a
digger, and then dried in piles or
stacks for four to six weeks.
The peanut plant originally came
from Brazil, was carried to Africa
during our colonial times, and
thence arrived in the United States
on slave ships. Before the Civil
war the peanut was little known
outside of Virginia, North Caro-
lima and Tennessee; but when the
Union troops went back to their
homes they took along with them
a liking for peanuts.
United States production is still
less than one-tenth of world pro-
duction, some 70 per cent of which
comes from Asia and about 20 per
cent from Africa. The peanut is
essentially a tropical plant and
grows only in our southern and
southwestern states. About half
the domestic production comes
from the three states of Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee. The
other half, almost, comes from
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama and Mississippi.

Queen for Ten Days

Queen Maud was the daughter Of
Henry and the rightful queen.
She was set aside by Stephen, the
kings nephew. Later she claimed

Queen Jane was the i'll : fated

SYNOPSIS

Jeb Braddon, young and Enthusiastically
successful broker of Chicago, Is tnfat-
uated with Agnes Gleneith, beautiful
daughter of retired manufacturer.
Rodney, a doctor, in love with Agnes,
visits his brother, Jeb. Rod plans work
at Rochester. Jeb suggests that he
make try for Agnes before leaving.
In Rod there is a deeper, obstinate
decency than in Jeb. Rod visits Agnes
and tells her of his great desire, but
realizes ii can never be fulfilled. Agnes
mother is attempting to regain her hus-
bands love. Agnes has disturbing
doubts as to what attracts her father
in New York. Jeb tells Agnes he is
going to marry her, and together they
view an apartment in Chicago. Jeb asks
Agnes to set an ear date, but she tells
him she cannot marry him. When the
agent, Mr.. Colver, offers to show them
q furnished apartment, Jeb asks Agnes
10 see il alone, saying he must return
to his office. Agnes consents and Jeb
leaves. A radio is blaring terrifically
from one of the apartments. ColVer
raps upon the door, which is opened
by a scantily clad girl, who draws
Agnes into the room. Colver finds her
husband, Charles Lorrie, fatally shot.
He calls the police. Myrtle Lorrie asks
Agnes to phone Cathal OMara, a law
yer, to come at once. Agnes does. The

CHAPTER vi

Davis Ayreforth lay awake in the
dark, with his wife asleep in the bed
beside his. He was not happy; and
he was trying to figure out what he
could do differently in order to make
Bee admire him.
She still loved him, he believed; for
her let 1t be proof of love that his
wife physically did nothing, in respect
to another man, to which he could take
exception, and that Bee continued
without omplaint-indeed, only too
complaisantly-to be his wife.
So Davis said to himself: "She
loves me; she loves me. :. D.. But she
admires Jeb more. She doesn't
admire me at all.
Its because Jeb is making so much
money" Davis argued with himself.
Money is all Jeb has that I haven't
got.
SITS not more money she wants for
herself, or for me or for the boys. But
she wants me to make more money.
F.. I've got to make more money
a lot of money, as much as Jeb Brad
don. 1 can do It'll He has nothing
on me"
Jeb, as every one knew, had made
millions for himself. To such a star,
Davis hitched the weak wagon of his
abilities as he wrestled in the dark
with his disappointments.
Davis business was canning - a
good business in Chicago, safe and
steady, though never spectacular, and
well suited to Davis, who was by ma
ture safe, steady person, though he
tried not to appear so.
He was thirty two, a cheerful,
healthy, stocky man of medium height,
thoughtful of others and tireless when
he set out to do anything.
Yet it all seemed only to amuse
his wife. Even his excellence in golf
which once she had admired, seemed
almost to amuse her now. He did not
understand why.
Millions now became the measure Of
a man. The old slow, conservative
scale of progress was gone. Salary
logged, dependable work. was moth
ing. A man went out, in these days
and made-millions!
Davis did not want to do 1t at all
he was, for himself, exactly suited
But Bee-his wife, the mother of his
boys = believed Jeb the better man
Jeb thrilled her; her husband, though
she 'loved" him, bored her.
There was that fellow Collitt, whC
had come around to the office the 9th
er day with Ken Remble. They were
forming a company for underwriting
new investments, real-estate develop
ments. There was millions in it, the.
said; millions!
They wanted him to become a part
ner and put about hundred thou
sand into it. He'd thanked them ant
hardly thought of it.

Strive to Excel

Strive always to excel: try always to
keep that attitude of mind which abb
hors defeat; for it is proved fact
that mans nature is so adaptable that
he can accustom himself to mediocrity
and numb his sense of failure. But the
converse of this is also true. making it
possible for one to train oneself to be
satisfied with nothing less than the
best, and with the failure idea made
so repellent that all ones faculties
will be kept constantly on the alert
to discover opportunity, possess it,
improve it and through it carve out
significant and satisfying destiny. A
study Of the careers of successful men
will reveal this attitude as one of the
underlying factors in their progress. 1t
is an unfailing source of inspiration
and the fountain from which flows that
matchless determination so pronounced
in those who lead.
