Olive Baptist church in Colp. Let each Supt. and pastor make this one of the greatest in the history of this convention. If each school will bestir themselves and send up a messenger with the spirit of the work, in them we can accomplish great things. This meeting convenes on Wednesday before the 4th Sunday in June. As I see no program committee mentioned in the minuses I ask that each auxiliary get out your program and send to the Gazette. Please attend to this matter. We ask your hearty co-operation this year. We want to do great things for the Master's Kingdom, we can if we will Yours for success, J. W. Corneal, 424 N. Sycamore. IN DREAMS THERE IS TRUTH One's Visions While Asleep Are Said to Be of Things He Would Like to Do. When you dream that you are slaughtering a flock of potentates it's more than probable that you're unconsciously expressing a repressed desire to kill your mother-in-law. In dreams a man does the things he secretly desired to do in waking life, but did not dare. This was the interpretation of the Freudian theory of psycho-analysis given by Dr. William J. Durant, former instructor of philosophy in Columbia university, in a lecture the other night in Milwaukee. "The mask of morality is taken off in dreams, and man acts in the primitive animal fashion," Doctor Durant said. "In dreams there is truth. Man was not meant for cold delibration, but for the immediate reactions of the animal. By nature we would knock-other persons down without thinking about it. "Civilization, according to Freud, is built on the two great repressions of pugnacity and sexuality. Monogamy as a marriage form, in Freud's view, is after all a terribly artificial thing and a great strain on all of us. "We love children because they have no repressions, whereas, we know were tied to nine times out of ten with adults." The conclusion, he said, in that "hypocrisy and polite morality constitute the essence of civilization." SURVEY WORLD BY WIRELESS Scheme to Be Tested in Determining the Boundary Between South and West Australia. It is proposed to utilize wireless telegraphy in determining the exact position of the boundary between South and West Australia. The boundary is fixed by act of parliament as the 120th degree of longitude east of Greenwich. The exact position of the longitude will be ascertained by the use of time signals from a high-power wireless station situated at some point between Greenwich observatory, in England, and Sydney, in Australia, the signals being received simultaneously at both stations. Most of the great observatories of the world are now collaborating in a redetermination of the longitudinal division of the earth's surface by means of wireless time signals, and this is one of the crucial uses of the system to settle a dispersion position. Given favorable single conditions, it has been found that signals from the Lyons wireless station, in France, can be received in Australia as well as at Greenwich, and signals from other stations, more favorably situated, are also being tested. The co-operation of the United States as well as the British government has been invited. The scheme is the first step toward a comprehensive determination of the whole longitudinal survey of Australia. Cost of Costs A Hungarian immigrant tells of life in his native town, a reminiscence of what is gone, in the World's Work. "I hold a good position in a bank in Budapest. Every morning I was driven to my work in a flakker, and every afternoon I was driven to my home. I mention that flakker because it can be taken as a symbol of the old life in Budapest, just as the five-cent subway ride to business can be taken as a symbol of life in New York. In Budapest it was easy, gay, frivolous; almost every one who made a pretense of what we called living spent more than be earned. I do not want to forget the good things in the old life—Magyar hospitality was openbed, warm, fine; but, financially, Magyar social life was built on straw—almost all were living beyond their incomes. If a family tried to reduce its expenses, to live truthfully, it lost caste. -Bertalan Barna. Long for Good Old Days. Two ragged youngsters stood at the pool before the big ornamental statues at the Columbus circle entrance to Central park, looking longingly at their reflection in the cold smooth depths of the undisturbed water. "Aw, gee, I wish it hadn't a got cold," said one. "Aw, me too," the other replied. "Nobody stops any more to throw quarters in the water. It's too cold. Anyhow you wouldn't catch this bold hittin' that ice water in this makeup. I'll say I need the money, but not that bad. All I wish is it wuz warm again. And they say bizness ain't a gonna be so good next summer, cuz people's gonna hang onto their coin then. Gosh, but war times wuz good times. Wish they'd bring back the good old days." Enhanced in Value. "This traffic policeman says you were going fifty miles an hour." "Judge," said the motorist, "I can hardly believe it, but would you object if I asked the officer to put that statement in writing and give me a duplicate copy?" "What for?" "As soon as I pay my fine I'm going out and try to sell that little old bus."—Birmingham Age-Herald. All Dressed Up. "The seashore jokes about short bathing costumes are back numbers," said Cordandh Bieecker, the society leader at a Newport ball. "All the same—" Mr. Bieecker chuckled merrily. "Here's a good one, all the same. Two Newport girls were jazzing in their 'maillots' the other morning on the beach. You know the 'mailled' rig—no skirt, no stockings, no sleeves, and hardly any legs. Well, the first girl said as she jazzed: "It's jolly to have a little dance after your bath, isn't it? "Yes,' said the second girl; 'only you feel so dressed up in these maillots after last winter's ball gowns." Growth of Y. W. G. A. The present membership of the V. W. C. A. in the United States is 550,311, an increase of approximately 309,000 in the last five years. There are 4,212 association centers in the country, 351 of them in 234 cities of more than 25,000 population. 111 in smaller communities and 750 in colleges. This is exclusive of work being carried on by the American association in eight European countries, and in India, Japan, China, South America and Honolulu. An Important Decision. "This celebrated novelist says he frequently sits at his typewriter all morning without being able to write a word." "I know just how that is," said the debauchee. "I once sat for two hours at my writing table before I could write the one word, 'No.'" "Bruningham ham Aye-Herald." Good Logic. Terre Haute boy scouts have recently organized a sea scout troop. Several of the new members were waiting for their leader the other day, but still he didn't come. Finally one of them was sent out to find traces of him. He journeyed a block and then saw him in earnest conversation with a girl. Now, he didn't want to expose the official—also he felt that he must be truthful, since he was a scout. So he used strategy when he came back. "Yes, I saw him," he said, "and wud better wait here, for he was doing some official business. He was interviewing a candidate for the position of first mate."—Indianapolis News. A Little Love Story. A dreamer and a man of action loved a worm. The dreamer said: "I shall write verses in her praise; they will touch her vanity and she will love me for them." But the man of action said: "How old fashioned! I shall corner the stock market, and that will bring her." So the dreamer wrote verses, and he induced a friend of his, who ran a ten-cent magazine to print them. And the man of action cornered something or other and became a billionaire. In the meantime the girl married a man who infiltrated his money, and lived happy ever after. But the dreamer was so proud of his verses that he didn't care; and the man of action was so busy that he didn't care. The only one to suffer was the man she married—Exchange. Kella joke on Herself. The other morning when Mrs. B.—'s new neighbor accompanied her husband to the door as he was about to start on his way to his work, she lovingly called out to him: "Good-by, sweetheart." Soon after Mrs. B.—and their little daughter went to the door with Mr. B.—. He kissed the little one and said good-by to Mrs. B.—. She, not wishing to be outdone by her happy neighbor, called to Mr. B.—as he was half way down the walk: "Good-by, dear," Mr. B.—turned around so quickly to look back at his wife that he stumbled and with difficulty kept on his feet. "I saw him shaking with surprised laughter as he went down the street," said the indignant Mrs. B.—-Indianapolis News. New American Industry. Establishment of a new Eastern factory with 50,000 square feet of floor space, for the manufacture of artificial pearls from fish scale essence, marks the beginning of a new American industry, formerly dependent on imports from France, Germany and Italy, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The common herring is the base of supply for the iridescent material used, and removing it is an arduous task, because each scale, taken from certain parts of the fish, yields only a tiny speck of luster. Suction Tube Unloads the Boat. Suction Tube Unloads the Boat A big suction tube is used at Oakland, Cal., in the operation of unloading crafts of their cargo of copra. The material is thrown into the hold loose and the end of the tube is thrust down the hold. The material is light and the current of air readily picks it up and carries through the pipe to the blins on the wharf where it is stored. Copra is lighter than corn and comes from tropical countries. Not only is Ben Jonson's epitaph in the Abbey, "O rare Ben Jonson," one of the simplest ever composed, but it is said to have cost no more than eighteenpence. The stone over his restingplace was originally quite bare, and an admirer of the dramatist, as a personal tribute, paid a mason Is, 6d, (36 cents) to cut the four words on the stone. The author of this simple epitaph was probably—Sir William Davenport, who succeeded Jonson as Poet Laurence, and was also buried in Poet's Corner, with a similar inscription on his tombstone, "O rare Sir William Davenport." The Virgilian Plow Early the forest elm is bowed by main force to bend into a share-beam, and takes the shape of the curving plow; to the stock of it are fitted the long eight-foot pole, the two mold-beards, and the double back of the share-head; and the light line is cut to season for the yoke, and the tail beech for the plow-tail that is to turn the carriage from above and behind, and oak battens are hung over the fire for the smoke to search them through.—"The Ecclesiastes and Georgics of Virgil" (tr, by J. W. Mackall). Great Secret A business concern in Boston has this pungent maxim prominently displayed in its front window: "A completed transaction is an asset; unfinished business is a liability." A modern efficiency expert could write a 60,000-word book on that text, and then really not say much more. The world is full of "starters" who never get anywhere. The big idea is to choose only worth while objectives and then finish what you start.—Albert Salinger Orms Embarrassing Moment. The car was snowed and as we neared our destination my cousin and I decided to make our way toward the door. I suddenly missed my purse, so we started back through the car to look for it. A number of people helped us in the hunt, and then a woman salde "Why, your purse is dangling on your umbrella." I should have liked to have made an exit through the nearest window—Chicago Tribune. Performing Duty. Let us do our duty in our shop or in our kitchen, the market, the street, the office, the school, the home, just as faithfully as we stood in the front rank of some great battle, and we knew that victory for mankind depended upon our bravery, strength and skill. When we do that, the humblest of all will be serving in that great army which achieves the welfare of the world.—Theodore Parker. Beare Favored by Nature. In the words of India are found many small brown bears that are known as the honey bears, because of their love of honey and their continued search for the clives of wild bees. These bears are lived by nature to get the honey, two of the upper incisor teeth being missing, and their lips are very extensive. --- The quills of the, porecupine are loosely inserted in the skin, and may, on being violently shaken, become detached—a circumstance which may have given rise to the purely fabulous statements that the animal possessed the power of actually ejecting its quills like arrows or darts at an enemy. The Usual Way An unreasonable and rather misanthropic acquaintance remarks that he has often heard the proverb, "A friend in need is a friend indeed," but he can't see where the truth comes in. He has a friend in need who is always borrowing money from him. To Wash Gold Chain Put chains in a small bottle with warm water, some pulverized chalk and a bit of grated castile soap. Cork the bottle and shake well, then rinse the chain in cold water and wipe on a towel. Gives a brilliant polish. Mahogany a Fast Grower. Manogany a Fast Grower. The rate of growth of mahogany is shown in southern Nigeria, where the site of a town destroyed 60 years ago has been covered with a forest containing mahogany trees some of which are more than ten feet in diameter. Identifying Himself Howard's father owned a picture show, so he was always admitted free. However, one evening a new ticket taker stopped him at the door and Howard explained by saying: "I am my father's boy."

The term "Indian summer" is ap piled to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the di fective features of the season, espe cially the hazy atmosphere, is un known, and the (digit of the term equally so. Differen. explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful. Honey Long in Use Hindus for centuries have used new honey as a laxative and old honey as an astringent. Aborigines of Persia offered honey to the sun. Greeks still mix it with milk of water and use it as a libation to the dead. In one section of India milk and honey are handed to all bridegrooms as they arrive at the door of the bride's father, and in ancient Egypt honey was long a chief ingredient of embalming fluid.

The most arbitrary city boss in the world, it seems safe to say, as well as the most unscrupulous politician of modern times, has turned up in Aintab, Armenia, to judge from an official report recently made by Major Stephen Trowbridge, under Gen. Edmund H. H. Allenby's orders. He is a Turk named Besim Bey. Until the Near East Relief agents stopped him, he practiced upon the terrified Armenians such forms of super-graft as might make every other corrupt politician in the world green with envy, and such cruelties as make all other heartless rulers, from Nero down, seem sweet and gentle characters. His office was that of Municipal Chief Accountant of Alintab; but, as all dishonest office-holders know, it isn't the job that matters, but the sugar-plums that go with it. Besim Bey plucked sugar-plums with both hands, night and day. Even inspired city bosses have their day. Besim Bey's came when the Near East Relief agents found that no thorough Armenian relief work could be done in that city while such conditions of terrorization existed. General MacAndrew ordered the arrest and removal of the six worst Turks in the ring that ruled the city, and Besim Bey qualified, as usual, for first place. Knowing and Living.

Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot_Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhai deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhai Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

The motorcycle threatens to outrival the broncho as an instrument of locomotion on Western ranches and cattle ranges. According to the Illustrated World, cowboys are using it for rounding up cattle, driving in stray animals, inspecting long lines of fences and other such work. By all odds the most remarkable purpose for which the motorcycle is employed, however, is that of chasing coyotes. Such a machine, if the terrain be not too difficult can easily overtake one of those little gray wolves, tiring the beast down to a point where it can no longer turn and dodge successfully. Then it is simply a matter of a whirl of the lariat, and the vicious brute, with a few quick spurts of the motorcycle is choked to death.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. She Knew. The girls in the seventh grade all wore large hair bows made of beautiful, bright tissue paper. They were not only inexpensive but so pretty that they were declared a great success until one day it rained and the bows faded all over the little owners' hair. Then great was the lamenting. One of the boys looked from the girls with their spotted red and blue and purple hair to two spinster teachers in the fifty-year-old class. "I don't know as they're so badly off," he remarked to the teacher who was young and pretty and with a strong sense of humor. "I'd rather be faded on account of having beaus than to be on account of not having them." Then teacher smiled. She too had preferences—Indianapolis News. Belt Full of Sea Lion Scalps Belt Full of Sea Lion Scalps. As the sea lion is regarded as the worst enemy of the salmon, the state of Washington pays a bounty of $2.50 on every sea lion scalp and recently William Hunter, who devotes his entire time to hunting sea lions, collected $880 for 352 scalps which he gathered during the season. This man is also paid by the salmon fisheries for his efforts to rid the waters of the sea lions. He is known as the "king of the sea lion hunters." Black Opal Prized. Almost every known gem is mined in Australia. The black opal is the most beautiful of all. It has increased 300 per cent in value in the last two years and the best quality now brings nearly $40 a carat. It ranges in size from 1 to 4 carats. Mlefit Name. Little Florence climbed upon her father's lap on her birthday and put her arms around his neck. Father always called her "Toodles," and until now she had answered to the name. But now she looked at him in surprise "Why, I'm three now! I should think you'd call me 'Threadles.'" she said write True. "I have to face the fact," mused the fashionable photographer, as he looked over some recent pictures, "that there are some very ugly features in this business." DEFECT IN EXISTING MAPS That They Are Not Drawn to Uniform Scale Is Felt to Be an Educational Handicap. It has long been the dream of geographers to make a series of maps of the world on a uniform scale. Indeed, it is considered unfortunate for school children that the geographies do not show all countries by maps on a single, uniform scale, for unless a student observes very carefully the figures showing the scale of each map or the figures showing the area of the country mapped he is likely to get the impression that certain distant lands, which are generally mapped on a small scale, are smaller than those with which he is most familiar. Take Australia, for example: The maps in the geographies now used in most of our schools show it on a small scale—about one-third as large as that used for the map of the United States; yet Australia is, in fact, nearly as large as the United States—only about one-fortieth (2½ per cent) smaller. China is generally shown smaller in area than the United States, yet it is about one-third larger. The work of preparing maps of the entire world on a uniform scale of one to one million—that is, maps on which one unit, (any unit—inch, centimeter, millimeter, etc.) represents one million like units on the ground—has been under way for several years, and the United States geological survey, Department of the Interior, has made considerable progress in its work on the parts of this map that were assigned to the United States. The principle used in preparing these maps, if adopted by the publishers of school books, will give the children accurate impressions of the relative sizes of the countries of the world. TEMPTED BY BRIGHT LIGHTS Adventurous Bossie Attempted to Make Her Way Into Vaudeville in City of Dallas. Gentle Bossie, tired of the humdrum life of giving milk and butter for the hungry mouths of some family, and bored with the pastoral quiet of the farm, determined the other night to have a taste of the gay life of the big city at least once before she crossed the River Styx. Accordingly she sought out the brightest lights of the city, a vaudeville house. But first her bovine majesty surrendered gayly up Elm street from Lamar, gazing in the show windows as she rowed. While in this vicinity she even attempted to enter a street car. Then, pursuing her primrose course, she plodded on toward the center of the city until she was confronted with the gray, yellow lights brightening the front of a vanderville show. Not considering whether she would be a welcome guest, Bobbie walked into the lobby of the show, thereby nearly causing the head usher to be sniffed Maissin as Staff of Life. The life of Cuba is largely sustained by raisins, its people consuming the fruit more generally than any other of the Spanish-American colonies.

Reading the dictionary is not a popular indoor sport, but it might well become the habit of any man who likes entertainment and information coming hand in hand. The dictionary, of course, must be unabridged, and not devoted solely to spelling and brief definitions such as are found in the small and incomplete editions! Two or three pages, selected at random, will be found to contain a surprising amount of interesting fact and comment for any man, no matter how learned he may be.—Chicago Journal of Commerce. Value of Home Experience. "The middle-aged mothers who have successfully managed large homes and sent out their children as good citizens have proven that such training is invaluable in any national or public work. Any work requiring intricate knowledge and care of detail can be handled by such women just as well as by the younger women who we have been led to believe are the only leaders of the 'new race'," says a writer in the Independent Woman. "The middle-aged woman has countless opportunities for world usefulness." An All-British Bird. The red grouse—probably the most sporting bird that flies—has never been known to nest outside the limits of the British Isles. This bird flourishes in every Scottish county and in most counties of Ireland and Wales. In England the grouse thrives only as far south as Derbyshire, all attempts to stock more southern districts, even when apparently suitable for the purpose, having proved failures, though some grouse survived for quite a long time after such an experiment in the Thetford district. Quirks of Children's Minds. A correspondent informs us that we did not quite complete our story about the little girl whose version of the national anthem was "My country teases me." He says she followed it with "Arthur of liberty." He adds: "And a close second to this is the following quotation from the twenty-third Psalm by another little miss, 'Surely the good Mrs. Murphy will follow me all the days of my life.'"—Boston Transcript. As Others Saw Him. To see ourselves as others see us has its humorous as well as its salutary side. The Fellows of the Society of Antiquaries may take note and fashionable collectors look to their laurels.

Small savings are like stones in a bridge; they form a firm support to carry one over the flood of an emergency. Up to Mrs. Smith. Jack was visiting a neighbor who always had a supply of home-made cookies on hand. She gave hfm one, which he ate, and Jack asked for a cookie to bring to his mother. When he reached home he said: "Mother, Mrs. Smith said she was sorry but there was a bite out of your cookie." Truly Feminine Enjoyment. Florence is a great reader. One day she was reading a sad story, and was sobbing as if her heart would break. Her sister noticed it, and asked her why she was crying. Turning to her impatiently Florence sobbed, "Can't you leave me alone when I'm enjoying myself?" Quer Figures on Kamerun Huts. The huts of the Kamerun tribe of Africa are decorated with figures which indicate the number of occupants and their relationship.

Money Needs Fresh Air But for money and the need of it there would not be half the friendship in the world. It is powerful for good if divinely used.
