And yet, oddly enough, the problem of keeping the boys and girls on the farm is, in some sections of the country, only little less acute than it was a few years ago when the cities bade fair to drain the rural districts of all the best of its young blood. However, it is only fair to say that the crisis has been passed in this drift for the country to the city. The tide has turned not only as shown by the migration of many city folk, countryward, but yet more significantly by the growing of the young with which an increasing proportion of the young people who have been born and reared in the country elect to remain in their native environment when the time comes for them to strike out for themselves. little less acute than it was a few years ago when the bides bade fire to drain the rural districts of all the best of its young blood. However, it is only fair to say that the crisis has been passed in this drift from the country to the city. The tide has turned not only as shown by the migrators, many city folk countryward, but yet more significantly city folk content with which an increasing proportion of the people who have been born and reared in the city elect to remain in their native environment when the time comes for them to strike out for themselves. It should be pointed out, just here, though, that the considerations that are prompting an increased percentage of rural youth to stay by the time-honored vocation of their forefathers are not all the purely sentimental ones that influence so many city folks to seek the country as a place of residence.

Consequently the city resident, sick of stuff apartments and noisy, dirty streets, working for a wage or salary, prone to find a dream of paradise in the prospect of being his own boss in the cool, quiet country, the country girl or boy, on the other hand, must understand the situation through the opposite end of the table.

Boys and Girls Sticking to the Farm. That despite this state of affairs a constantly increasing proportion of the country girls, and boys are choosing to stick by the farms is highly significant and betokens a change of material ditions as well as an altered mental state. And, speaking of material things, or had we better say financial conditions, it might as well be put down first and foremost that one of the main factors in inducing country bred youth to remain in the country is the increased prosperity that has come in recent years to tillers of the soil. In the old days when almost every farm was heavily mortgaged and the son or daughter of the household saw little ahead but a life-time struggle with debt it was no wonder that they turned to paths where life, if not easier, was certainly more pleasant and allowed a more equal division of the time between work and play. But now, with the farms on a sound, profitable basis and the average rural couple able to start their married life on a farm of their own—wholly profitably for them—so much attention the farm which the city affords unskilled worker—the $12 or $15 a week at which the street car conduct must start or the $5 or $8 a week that is offered to the new recruit among the shop girls of the big city stores. Even if a country youth is allured by the lights and life and glamor and galley of the large city he is now compelled, by that sound, practical common sense which is the heritage of the average farmer boy, to stop and consider whether it is worth the sacrifice demanded in dollars and cents, to say nothing of the sacrifice of health, to which perhaps he gives nary a thought.

And, speaking of material things, or had we better say financial conditions, it might as well be put down and one of the main factors in inducing country bread is the increased prosperity that has come in recent years to titlers of the soil. In the old days when almost every farm was heavily mortgaged and the son or daughter of the household saw little ahead but a life-time struggle with debt it was no wonder that they turned to paths where life, if not easier, was certainly more pleasant and allowed a more equal division of the time between work and play. But now, with the farms on a sound, profitable basis the rural couple able to their married life on a farm of their own—wholly or partially paid for,—there is not so much attraction in the jobs which the city affords the unskilled worker,—the $12 or $15 a week at which the street car conductor must start or the $5 or $8 a week that is offered to the new recruit among the shop girls of the big city stores. Even if a country youth is allured by the lights and life and glamor and galey of the large city he is now compelled by that sound, practical common sense is that he is willing to stop and consider whether it is worth the sacrifice demanded in dollars and cents, to say nothing of the sacrifice of health, to which perhaps he gives nary a thought.

First of all, they give to the farmer boy and girl an added appreciation and respect for the vocation which awaits them and incidentally kindle ambition by disclosing how much money can be made in farming if the farmer will get down to business and use scientific, progressive methods. Quite aside from this consideration however is the one that after a three or four-year course at an agricultural college, with all sorts of excursions and social festivities on the side, a farmer lad or lassie is more likely to have had his or her "fill" of such diversions and to come back home and settle down to the serious life than is the country-bred junior who has never left the farm and has never had any opportunity to gratify that love of a good time that is instinctive with all young people.

Similarity of Works Found in Oriental Temple With Monuments of Central America is Evidence Religion Existed in America. Chicago.—After 1,200 years of cross-legged meditation in a heathen temple of Korea, something exciting has happened to the giant stone Buddha of Kyong Ju. The idol has been measured, poked in its sacred ribs, and made the center of a new theory by Prof. Frederick Starr, the University of Chicago anthropologist, who returned recently from a trip of oriental exploration. In the seated Buddha, which has shared at the eastern sea in comparative neglect for many centuries, Professor Starr believes he has found the masterpiece of an ancient fully developed Korean art, the prototype of the famous bronze Japanese Buddhas of Nara and Kamakura, and traces of sculpture and architecture analogous to that of Yucatan and Central America. The similarity of the works of art found in the temple with the Buddha to the monuments of Central America and Mexico is declared by Professor Starr to be striking. He will make a careful comparison of the data he has collected in the widely remote places, and he will prove his evidence will be strongest, and prove that Buddhism formerly existed on the American continent. The Chicago scientist asserted that the examination of the idol was one of the most impressive of his experiences in the Orient. The Budha is ten feet in height, and sits in a semi-subterranean temple twenty feet in diameter, surrounded by fifteen slabs of stone, each bearing a sculptured figure. The temple crowns a high hill fifteen miles from Kyong Ju, the ancient capital of Silla, one of the three ancient Korean nations, on the eastern side of the southern half of the Korean peninsula. The only living Buddhist Tower. neighbor of the statue is a solitary monk who inhabits the deserted Buddhist monastery of Suk Kool Am nearby. Professor Starr and his companion in all his travels, Manuel Gonzales, left the United States Aug. 23, sailing from Seattle on the same vessel with Admiral Togo. "Japan's problem is to make the Koreans realize that their interests are those of Japan," said Professor Starr. The Japanese administration is doing well, but the Korean feeling is one of suicidal dissatisfaction. The government have better facilities of every sort than ever before, but the situation still is most difficult. "The Japanese and Koreans are more closely related than the Koreans and Chinese, yet geographically and culturally the Koreans have been profoundly affected by the Chinese. "Korea was a center of illumination 1,200 years ago. The Buddha in the temple near Kyong Jiu is a part of this beautiful flower of development where now all is squalor and meanness." Shared Food With Birds Kansas City, Mo.—In front of the Hotel Baltimore a newsboy shivered the other morning. One hand was busy making frequent trips to his mouth with a large "hamburger," from which he was taking hungry snacks. "Poor little rat. He must be nearly frozen," a traveling man remarked as he sat in a large leather chair looking out upon the snow and ice. Just then some snow birds lighted a few feet away. They hopped about as if half frozen. The newsboy tossed them a piece of his sandwich. They pecked at it eagerly. Then he tossed the remainder down and watched the birds peek at it so noisy. No. The traveling man didn't go out and give the newsboy a dollar or buy him a new overcoat. He lighted another cigar. "Td like to do something for that lad," he remarked. "But it's just too cold to move." Anger Causes Sugar Blood Baltimore, Md.-Anger, according to Dr. B. W.

GERMAN TO FLY OVER OCEAN Dr. Paul Gans Will Attempt to Cross Atlantic in Dirigible Early In Month of March. New York—Dr. Paul Gans, who is to attempt to cross the Atlantic in a dirigible, has sailed for Europe to make ready for his start from Teneriffe early in March. The distinguished German aeronaut departed in high spirits. He has succeeded in making arrangements whereby his route to the Florida coast will be marked by the warships of two or three nations. "Mr. Beckman, the aggsistant secretary of the navy, told me in Washing- Dr. Paul Gans. ton last week that there can be no objection to having a fleet of American warships on the sea to me," said Dr. Gans, "provided of course that no imminent in the meantime to call for the presence of the warships elsewhere. Admiral Osterhaus of the North Atlantic fleet told me yesterday that his fleet will be off Guantanamo, Cuba, until March 16, which will be just the right time for the trip. "Arrangements have been made already with Germany, and perhaps with Spain, that insure a line of ships across the Atlantic. The idea is not to have them stationed out on the sea, but to have them sailing in relays. For instance, from the other side a ship will start, say, twenty hours ahead of me, another sixteen, and on until midnight, with me. At the same time the American warships will start out in a similar manner, that when we pass the last of the European warships the first of the Americans will be within call." Dr. Gans goes first to Paris, and from there to Munich, where he is to be decorated by the prince regent. He received a cabelogram to that effect the other day. From Munich he goes to Berlin, where his aliph is, and in the latter part of this month he goes to Kientfer for the final preparations. King Alfonso has placed a cliff-protected beach on Teneriffe, largest of the warships, at the doctor's disposal and has ordered orders to admit the balloon free of them when it is shipped from Berlin, where it now is, to Teneriffe for the start. Dr. Gans hopes to reach the Florida coast. HE WAS AFRAID OF MICROBES Negro Who Stole Corn From Government Farm Frightened When Told Purpose of the Grain. Washington.—A covetous negro stole a lot of sweet corn growing on the propagation plat at the experiment farm of the Department of Agriculture, near Washington. The darky was arrested, and the court, learning Begged for His Release. that the corn was used for experiments in plant diseases, gave him the scare of his life by animating that this feast would result in the growth of various microbes in his body. The negro pleaded to be released in order that he might seek the services of a doctor, but he was sent to jail for ten days instead, where he worked off any of the alarming symptoms by pounding rocks in the chain gang. "Prophet's" Gloomy Forecast for 1912 "Prophet's" Gloomy Forecast for 1912. York, Pa.—"The year of 1912 will be one of trouble," according to Lee J. Spangler, who styles himself "the last of the prophets" and who has gained a reputation because of the fulfillment of some of his prophecies. Spangler's forecast is a gloomy one since he says there will be much suffering throughout the land. The struggle between capital and labor, according to Spangler, will become keener than ever before, and there will be a business depression, the worst in mankind. He says the people will be punished for their wickedness and there will be much distress in the big cities. The prophet says that there will be trouble throughout the world. Nations will be involved in war, and there will be much bloodshed. Of one thing Spangler seems certain, and that is that the world will not come to an end this year. He says that all can feel safe from the coming of the end until 1915. $2.40 PER YEAR. EXPLORING DEAD SEA EXPLORING DEAD SEA Scientists Sounding Waters of Oldest Known Lake. Motives of Expedition Said to Be Purely Scientific—No Elements of Commercialism Entering Into Ultimate Object. Jerusalem—An expedition, the purpose of which is thoroughly to explore the Dead sea and its environs under the leadership of Dr. Bruhl of the University of Berlin, has just arrived from Europe and continued to the scene of its future operations. The motives of the expedition, so it is emphatically avered by Dr. Bruhl, are purely scientific, with absolutely no elements of commercialism entering into its ultimate object. The work of the part of sounding the depth of various sections of the lake as well as analyzing the complex composition of its waters, studying its shores, investigating the nature of the different minerals that are said to abound in that region, exploring, as far as is possible, the channels of the many rivers and hot water streams, apart from the Jordan, which flow into the sea, from both the eastern and western mountain ranges that pamphilus shores, examining and classifying the world of exploration that exist in large numbers only in the extreme southeastern section of the lake, which consists mainly of shallows and marshes. It must be remembered in this connection that it has always been firmly maintained by those who visited the Dead sea and wrote treatises about it long ago that no fish of any kind can make their habitat in any part of it, and this long established belief was dispurved only recently by a pleasure party of Americans, long resident in the country, who visited the southern end of the lake and discovered fish. So it remains for the members of the German expedition to arrive at the causes, which undoubtedly must Scene in Jerusalem. be due to varying conditions of chemical composition of the water that make it possible for fish to live in certain sections of the lake and not in others; and, in short, to find out everything about this strange body of water from scientific standpoints that is worth knowing. What ultimate political or commercial motives, if any, underlie the surface of the enterprise time only can show. This is by no means the first attempt to explore the Dead sea region. Lieut. W. F. Lynch of the American navy, as early as the year 1848 spent considerable time in research and exploration of that region at the expense of the American government and at great risk to his person. Despite the hardships, Leutentant Lynch was fairly successful in taking measurements as well as soundings of different parts of the lake. According to the lieutenant's narrative, the lake measures some 46 miles from north to south and from 6 to 12 miles east and west. Its total surface area was therefore computed to be 269 square miles. Its greatest depth was 1,300 feet at its northern end, and its shallowest part being at its southern extremity, varies from 5 to 15 feet off. The lake's depression below the sea level is 1,121 feet and a tropical climate makes its temperature almost unbearable during certain seasons of the year. Crying Baby Is "Exhibit A." Buffalo, N. Y. —A crying baby was offered in evidence, and after much argument between opposing counsel was marked for identification as "Exhibit A" in a case brought up in the city court here. The action is for $1,000 damages, and the baby is produced as the principal evidence for the plaintiff. "I desire to offer this infant in evidence," was the announcement of one of the attorneys as a woman came behind the rail bearing a bundle in her arms. The attorney for the defense promptly objected. "Nobody ever heard of such a proceeding," he said. "I contend that it is perfectly proper to have the child marked for identification," contended the plaintiff's lawyer. The argument continued for several minutes, the baby holding his own in the noise-making. Finally the court settled the dispute by directing the stenographer to mark the exhibit.

True chivalry and gallantry are virtues which are really so rare nowadays that to find a man possessing them both, in a high degree, is something wonderful. To go to the aid of a beautiful woman in distress might smack of these virtues, when selfishness really is the prompting motive. The true test is where these virtues are exhibited unprompted by selfish motives. There was just such a case in Washington, D. C., a few days ago, in which Representative Kendall of Iowa was the hero. When Mr. Kendall alighted from a street car at a busy corner, he saw two white men addressing profane language to an old Afro-American woman, who was carrying a basket of freshly laundered clothes. Presently one of the men struck the woman, felling her. The contents of her basket were scattered in the snow and slush. Mr. Kendall landed his fist squarely on the jaw of the assailant and laid the man motionless in the snow. Then he assisted the unfortunate woman in restoring the clothes to the basket. Had the woman in question been W. H. PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. TAFT Sets at Rest Reports That He Would Decline Renomination. Says Nothing but Death Will Bar His Candidacy. Vigorous Campaign Planned. white, there would not have been anything extraordinary in Representative Kendall's action, but as she was old, black and poor, he certainly must be every inch a man. We have not the honor of a personal acquaintance with the honorable gentleman, but if we were in reaching distance we would take chances and shake his hand. Iowa may well be proud of having such a man to represent her in Congress, and we would to God that there were more like him everywhere. Not being a resident of his district, we cannot vote for him, but should he ever be a candidate for president of the United States, he will get my vote and the votes of all the Afro-American voters. which, of course, is easy to believe when one thinks of the fact that ever at the present time only about one eight of the population of the world is white. But now comes a Theos phist, D. S. M. Unger of Chicago, who declares he knows for a fact that Christ is coming back to earth within the next twenty years. Says Mr. Unger: "Whenever a nation or the world really needs a great leader, he turns up. The world is sadly in need of a great religious leader these days and so I know Christ is coming back within the next twenty years. And in order that humanity may have no trouble in being certain of the presence of Christ, he will have a brown body." Again we say, Three Cheers for Representative Kendall! MISSIONARIES MUCH EXERCISED. Some of the alleged Christian missionaries in the Far East are very much exercised over reports of the recent entertainment of Admiral Togo, in this country, and have protested against lavish entertainment of oriental dignitaries, and particularly against entertainment on Sundays. The ground for the protest is that "we are a nominally Christian nation and distinguished guests from the Far East have difficulty in reconciling our liberal uses of Sunday, with the teachings of Christian missionaries in the Orient." That's all a lot of buncombe. The missionaries, many of whom have gone to the Orient to teach "jim crow" religion to the natives do not wish to have prominent men of the various colored races treated with consideration, because it puts "wrong ideas into their minds," and makes them think they are as good as white people. The best way to convince the colored peoples of the world of the sincerity of the missionaries, and of the people of this country, who furnish the money to support the missionaries, is to abolish the color line, right here at home and give the Afro-American a square deal in everything and not attempt to convert him in "jim crow" institutions. Caucasian American Christianity is all right until it reaches the color line and then it is all wrong. It has been more or less asserted by that it is very happy in having discovscientists and others that both Adam ered in Africa a precedent for sepa- and Jesus Christ were not white, rate schools in Chicago.

The Best Man which, of course, is easy to believe, when one thinks of the fact that even at the present time only about one eight of the population of the world is white. But now comes a Theosophist, D. S. M. Unger of Chicago, who declares he knows for a fact that Christ is coming back to earth within the next twenty years. Says Mr. Unger: "Whenever a nation or the world really needs a great leader, he turns up. The world is sadly in need of a great religious leader these days and so I know Christ is coming back within the next twenty years. And, in order that humanity may have no trouble in being certain of the presence of Christ, he will have a brown body." Well, if Christ returns to this earth brown in color, there are people in the United States who will not accept him. "IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE." That it pays to advertise in newspapers and that the bigger the advertisement the better the result, are twin conclusions drawn by the Rev. George Macadam, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, Joliet, Ill., after thus exploiting his services. The minister advertised his sermon for last Sunday in a local newspaper, taking space larger than the space taken by the theater management in advertising the theatrical attractions on that day. His crowd was larger than those at the play. He will keep up the publicity campaign. And a great many others would do well to get wise to the fact that it pays to advertise. The Ecuadoreans are making rapid progress in the United States brand of civilization. They have just lynched five generals down there. The job was in regular Texas style. The five helpless victims were shot by an angry mob of several thousands, dragged into the streets, beheaded and burned. The copperhead Chicago Tribune gloats over the fact that there is a color line in South Africa. For many years the Tribune has exerted its influence to arouse race prejudice in Chicago, and a recent editorial shows that it is very happy in having discovered in Africa a precedent for separate schools in Chicago. WASHINGTON GOSSIP Scandalized at Rank of "Furriners" New Animals Discovered by Curator --- ```markdown ``` WASHINGTON—Poor Paul Jones. It begins to look as though our first admiral of the navy, who was a giddy sort of old-time pirate, is never to be permitted to rest either in body or in memory. Gen. Horace Porter, formerly American minister to France, discovered the burial spot of John Paul Jones in the heart of Paris under a pile of masonry, which had been erected into homes since the American admiral had been buried there. At his own expense he had the building razed, secured the body of Paul Jones and brought it to this country. The identification of the body by General Porter was made upon comparative measurements of the body which General Porter had discovered in Paris. When the leaden casket was opened it was found that the body was in fine state of preservation, and the measurements agreed exactly with those which General Porter had discovered. The features were plainly the same as those of the Houdon bust of Paul Jones. The body had been MARTHA HEARD has been on a visit to the White House. In a new homespun dress, with a new red bandana handkerchief wound tightly around her head and another crossed fichu fashion over her ample bosom, Martha has been showing Mrs. Taft and Helen Taft how a good old southern mammy can give a French maid cards and spades and then beat her at her own game. Martha went to the White House as the maid of a young southern woman who visited Miss Helen Taft. When preparations for a great dinner began at the White House Martha was in her element. Herself one of those famous cooks whose art has made the hospitality of the south traditional. Martha asked to be allowed to have a hand in the preparation of the menu selected by Mrs. Taft. That gracious lady readily gave her consent, and for the first time since the days of Andrew Jackson the savory odors of old-fashioned southern cooking rose from the White House kitchen stove. One feature of Washington life at which Martha feels scandalized is the high social, rank of the diplomatic corps. "Dar in Washington city," she declares, with a note of scorn in her voice, "de white folks mixes in wild all sorts of furriers—Chinamens, Japanese, Turks, an', wusser'n dat-yas, Lawd, wusser'n dat--dey actually goes wild a cullah'd couple." (She refers to the Haytian minister and his wife.) "When I knowed 'bout dat cullahb comin coon' ter a state reception at I DO BELIEVE THIS ANIMAL BELONGS TO THE CENUS PUTORIUS N. Hollister, assistant curator of the division of mammals, United States National museum, announces the discovery of four new animals from the Canadian Rockies, in a paper just published by the Smithsonian institution. During last summer a small party of naturalists from the Smithsonian institution accompanied the expedition of the Alpine club of Canada to the Mt. Robson region, where they made the first natural history collection ever taken in that vicinity. The paper mentioned above is the first publication issued by the institution on this expedition, although J. H. Riley, a member of the party, has written a description of two new species of birds discovered on the trlp, which has recently been published in the proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington; both of the birds are of the sparrow family, one a song sparrow, and the EXCLUSIVE of Alaska, the Indian population of the United States in 1910 was, in round figures, 305,000, as compared with 243,000 in 1890, and 270,000 in 1900. Contrary to the popular notion, the Indian is increasing. His gain in numbers, moreover, is far less surprising than is his growth in industry and intelligence. The 5,470 Indians residing in New York, chief remnants of the old Iroquois, follow the same pursuits as their white neighbors, dress the same, and, save in complexion, differ from the whites in no essential particular. Much more than a third of all the Indians in the United States, or 117,000, reside in Oklahoma. A boy in northern Michigan was out hunting and saw two cats up a tree. The family needed a pussy about, and so he laid down his gun and took a club. What he didn't know until too late was that the animals were wild-cats. Before he could lay hold of the cats they laid hold of him, and the doctor who attended his hurts counted up 41 bites and scratches. In hunting for cats be careful that you don't get the wrong breed. found by General Porter in what was the only Protestant cemetery in the city of Paris at the time of the admiral's death, and was secured only after two months tunneling under buildings yet left standing. Congress declined to make an appropriation, but the president did send a warship, and the body was brought back to the United States in state and carried to Annapolis. There were great doings there at the time of the arrival of the body, and it was then put in a great leaden casket, and is now packed away under the stairs in a dark corner of one of the buildings. A great crypt is being prepared for the body, and it is expected that there will be ceremonies of magnificent character when 'the body is laid in this crypt. Meanwhile American critics are attacking the authenticity of the John Paul Jones find. Charles Henry Hart of Philadelphia, who is said to be an authority, declares that the body is not the body of America's first naval hero. General Porter says that Hart's attack on the authenticity of the body is too silly for serious consideration. But whatever may be said or done, those in a position to judge, as well as the great majority of the American people, believe the body found in Paris is that of Paul Jones. LAN' SAKES OB ALL DE FURINERS I EVER SEED de White House, hit look lak I couldn't ho' in no longer. So I sez to Miss Taft: 'Lawd Omighty, Miss Taft, what you reckin dis country gwin' ter come ter, wid a nigger couple up here mixin' roun' wid de white quality?" How come it I see all dem fine white folks prancing round wid dem common black niggers. Dey belong in de kitchen, not de pahla.

The natural history work of the expedition was under the charge of Mr. Hollister. He paid especial attention, however, to the mammals, four of which he describes—a chipmunk, a mantled ground squirrel and two bats. All the specimens came from the neighborhood of Mt. Robson, which lies in the wild and unexplored parts of British Columbia, at about 14,500 feet elevation. The chipmunk is a new species, and all the specimens of it come from the region along the boundary line between British Columbia and Alberta, from Yellowhead Pass northward. The ground squirrel is a beautifully marked and highly colored form of the genus, and was found living in the alpine meadows and rocks of the snow-covered region above timber line. The head and shoulders are a rich and glossy Mars brown, and the sides are marked by conspicuous lateral strines. While the two new species of bats resemble some well known forms, externally they are quite distinct and readily distinguishable by the shape of the skull. One of them curiously enough, most resembles a species known only from Mexico. INDIAN POPULATION 1850 = 293,000 1900 = 270,000 1910 = 305,000 AND STILL GROWING old Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws and Seminoles), each of which, in the old Indian territory, which was part of the present state of Oklahoma, had a civil government of its own for two-thirds of a century, with schools, churches, mines, factories, mercantile houses, banks and other accessories of the highest civilization Bishop Was Ready for Them. A story is told of a certain Norman bishop, who preached so eloquently against the wearing of long hair before Henry I, and his courtiers, that they gave in on the spot and agreed to have their locks shorn. No sooner had they made their decision than the wise prelate, who had provided for just such a contingency, pulled out a pair of shears from his sleeve and soon removed the curls of the whole court.

Some of the people to whom THE APPEAL is as regularly sent as it is issued, and that is every Saturday—act as though they are under neither legal nor moral obligations to pay for it: when, as a matter of fact, they are under both. There is no law compelling any one to receive THE APPEAL, but there is law to compel any one to pay for it who receives it, upon the principle of law that one must pay for anything he receives. Ordering a paper discontinued does not pay any amount that may be due and unpaid, and the publisher has the right to continue to send his paper until whatever may be due for it is fully paid; then an order to discontinue must be obeyed. It is hoped that every one who reads this, that is indebted to the paper, will bring or send to the office the amount due. Every one who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it.

Oh, threats of Hell and hopes of Parasite! One thing is certain! When a Husband dies No wife shall ever greet him Thero with "Wheres?" or "Whys?" Nor mock with laughter his most subtile lies! No matter whether up or down he goes, He neither cares or questions, I suppose; Since death can hold no bitterness for him, Because—oh, well, because—he knows, He Knows!" R. J. H. Prices on everything seems to be going up, and the newspaper publisher is among the sufferers.

Howard Thurston, the world's greatest magician, will appear at the Grand the week of February 4. The appearance of this celebrated magician, whose name is familiar throughout the civilized globe, will no doubt attract large and enthusiastic crowds, for there never was an exponent of necromancy who was more popular than this skilled artist and inventor, and most mystifying illusions before him. Thurston will bring with him two carloads of paraphernalia, a score of electricians, mechanics and stage hands. Magic is the oldest mode of amusement known to the world, and it was practised under the guise of various names, such as witchcraft, sorcery and necromancy long before history began. In the middle ages magicians were burned at the stake, but with the ancient magicization magic has become shorn of its original meaning, and in the hands of its professors, they go into a most popular form of entertainment. Theatregoers will recall Hermann, Heller and Kellar, all great masters in the mystic art, and with their passing from the public eye came Thurston, who has accomplished wonders. With a natural talent this brilliant magician has with the aid of a highly cultivated mind introduced to the world of magic much that is new and exciting. Wonderful illusions, he stands distinctive class by himself, and, in putting on his big spectacular productions, he has spent fortunes. Expense has in no case been spared, and his original illusion, "The Great Abbott-Detroit '30 Auto Mystery," cost thousands of dollars before it was ready for production. Besides the imposing scenic and mechanical effects, it requires a cast of six people and a big touring car. He has many other new illusions, including the Baldwin Trick, "The Mysterious Plano," "The Spirit Pictures" and over a hundred new tricks that mystify and amuse. All of these will be seen during his coming engagement. 1 THURSTON Thurston, the Magician, at the Grand Next Week. BY THE Mr. Choir OF- Baptist Chnrch Opening, Feb. 8, 1912.

The New York board of health has declared that three drinks per day is the limit to keep healthy. The report from the board goes father and explains: "Heart disease and cirrhosis of the liver often associated with the excessive use of stimulants. It is hard to establish any standard for what is excess, as there is a marked difference in individuals. Many physicians believe that a man is better off without spirits. Anything above three ounces of alcohol a day, which is equivalent to about six of whisky, or three drinks, is excessive." All right, then! We'll confine our self to only three drinks per day.
