Lesson From Robinson Crusoe. Consider the wisdom of Kobluson Crusoe. Ills biography Is a good text book for these times. It pictures the world of Industry In Its simplest terms. One man alone on an lslund, with nothing but the raw materials of nature about him, clothes himself, feeds himself, puts a roof over hla head, accumulates property, lives hap pily, builds a merchant marine out of a hollowed log. and finally establishes communication with the rest of the world, to its profit and his own. How did he do It? By burd work; by foresight; by self-denial. Crusoe bad to work or starve. He had to look ahead, else bis work would be labor to no purpose. And he had to deny himself some enjoyment of the gains of the day or he would starve on the morrow. The World s Work. Solemn Asses Most Appreciated.

Toward the latter part of his career Corwiu had reached the conclusion mat in causae wii had seriously damaged his pros pects for further advancement. He cautioned both John Sherman and Don Piatt not to Interlard their speeches with Jokes. "Don't do It, my boys." protested Corwln. "Don't do It.

Cinderella and the legend surround ing her glass slipper Is believed to have originally come from ancient Memphis.

The eagle then flew to Memphis, where the king was administering Jus tice In one of the courts of the palace, and. hovering above the king, dropped the sandal, which fell Into the folds of the king's garment. He examined the sandal and found It so small and love ly that he bade his servants search all Egypt till tliey should find the woman whom It would tit Rhodopls was found In Naucratls and carried to the kins, who married her. She died after a few months' happiness, and the disconsolate king had one of the costliest pyramids of antiquity built in her memory. In the liit century II. C. the priests of Mem phis were wont to exhibit a sandal In a crystal shrine which, they declared, once belonged to Rhodopls. miraculous ly preserved through many centuries. The sarcophagus and the mummy of lthodopis have entirely vanished and her pyrumld is little more than a ruin, but her legend lives in every land.
