With such an absence of conceit this young man ought to draw something pretty good from St. Peter. - KEEP ON THE HEAVIES. Nineteen hundred and fourteen lamb chops are with us, oysters are on their last lap, the English topcoat has appeared on the avenue, the robin has begun to pipe ' his merry lay, careful diners are eating eggs fried on one side only, low necked clams are numerous, thousands of verdant young couples are running away and being married, new potatoes are on the bill of fare, April magazines greet the eye, geese are flying north and umpires are flying south, spring poets are meandering toward news paper offices hopefully, the corcuses, the trailing arbutus and the modest violet are about to shed their frag rance upon the air, and verily, the ver nal impulse stirs the mind made slug gish by winter. It is safe to say that Gentle Annie is at hand. However, that may be and, though A Washington scientist now claims there are no naughty children, what is termed "naughtiness" being mere ly a symptom of physical ailment. But it- is noticeable, that those naughty children are generally healthy enough to want a little snack now and then between regular meals. Parisians declare that while they may initiate a mode, the American wo man degrades it. It doesn't seem pos sible, however, that a little ocean trip would convert what the French call a "daring" gown into : a ''degraded dud." . - Royalist crowds have been dis persed in Paris streets. Royalists are the French unemployed who don't want work. There is no occasion for worry over the strike of 2,000 dressmakers in New York. American women have already demonstrated that they can get along with very little to wear. The fashion news from Paris says gowns 4'f'e more decollete than ever, all signs seem to be propitious, it may but -t pleasant to ,earn that doth. De wen to pause in our mad night to ward the perfect contentment of spring days and consider history. His tory is ever a mocking old cat, ready to tear down ideals and make the fond est hopes look like last year's birds' nests. It may be well to remember that history tells us of April bliz zards and there are some oldest in habitants like Dr. Bacon who can re member three or four inches of snow in May. While it is good to think of spring and all of her myriad charms and graces, her balmy breezes and her budding flowers, there is such a thing as being over-optimistic. Be not beguiled, oh dreamer. Leave the heavy ones on awhile and order another ton or so of coal, if you need it. It is a long, weary journey yet to the day of hoat prostrations and melting asphalt pnvcmont. New York Salvation Army singers ing has not been entirely abandoned. There U again talk about reducing the size of United States paper mon ey, but as it would save a million, Congress may not look on the idea with favor. Another cathedral in England has been painted by the suffragets with "Votes for Women" signs. That about completes the job except for several excellent bishops.

The secret lies In the fact that the tines are able to roll about lifter poking their noses Into the floe, mid lu this manner they attack the ice in a direction where It is least capable of offering effective resistance, lustead of assaulting the lee edge on where It Is supported by hundreds of yards If not. Indeed, by several miles of solid pack the small craft bear down upon n thickness of so many Inches, nnd by sheer weight and the rapid shifting of this by a rocking motion, they force it asunder. The big steamers upon the great lakes, especially the Inrge car ferries, could do this very thing for themselves, end do It upon a greater scale, If they could be given the needful rolling mo tion, but the difficulty lies lu finding a way to effect this. Technical Wo-ld Magazine. .i FICKLE FORTUNE. Rom.nce of a Discredited Gold and Copper Mine. .' When the great mineral' wealth of this nation has been finally developed a chronicler will write the. "American Arabian Nights of Mining." Oue of the tales, all of which will be true, will run somewhat as follows: 'l'J Once upon a time there "was a poor man of the name of Billy Harris, who lived at Spokane, Wash. 'He was a horseman, among other miscellaneous activities, and bad acquired a consid erable block of stock in a certain Lerol Mining company, having taken most of It in payment from those who owed him money and who had no other as sets more tangible. This stock bad kicked about without a sponsor for two years and was nominally quoted at around 10 cents a share. ' One day a friend came along with a handsome Btalllou. and Billy looked up on the animal with covetous eyes. Dick ering began and ended by bis paying over $5,000 of the stock for the stallion. The seller, on sober reflection, became dissatistled with his bargain and brought suit to recover the horse. He won, and Wily, with a sigh, took back bis stock and bade the animal a fond farewell. Eighteen months Inter Billy sold the same stock for $250,000 anil the re mainder of his holdings for us much again. The Lerol mine was taken over by Whltaker Wright and an t:nglls!i syndicate and produced ? IO.i n .00rt in gold and copper. It Is not on record what the original owner of the stallion said or thought and perhaps It is Jul as well. Wall Street Journal. Example of B-itishv Humor.

If' , '-mem o BETRAYAL GRAPHICALLY TOLD. Was Caused by Weakness in Charac ter of Judas That Led to Crime. Betrayal by Judas was the subject for the noon day services today. In handling this subject Rev. Fyke de scribed fittingly and graphically the betrayal by one who was considered a friend of Christ, and that it was therefore not an ordinary betrayal. He referred to the fact that the betrayal was caused by a kiss of supposed friendship, showing that it was the cause of some weak trait in the character of the man, namely that of covetousness. Tomorrow Rev. F. Bussard of Bell inghnm, Washington, will, be the speaker. The program for the rest of the week follows: Tuesday, March 31. He endured the agony and bloody sweat. Wednesday, April 1.
