How One Girl Succeeded in Banish Injj Loneliness Caused by Giv ing Up 0|d Custom. , . Barbara Canton f *?1 1 bored us ahe sat toying wlih her l>ook under (bo light of tlii' table lninp after dinner. It was elub night for the girls of her net, and she pictured them enjoying tho excitement of the lights and the music as she had done every week through the winter. She had bad to adndt, however, that the tone of the club-night donees had gradually grown lower as the winter wore on, and she hud made U|> her mind to break away from this group of youug people. She wanted to attach herself to persona who were more wor|h while. In remaining away tonight she had taken the first step, but she had not realised how hard it was going to be. Just tbeu her mother entered the room and noticed the troubled look In her eyea, MWhat Ih the matter, dear?" she asked. "Has something made you un happy?" , "No," said Barbara, "not exactly that, but I didn't realise how deadly dull it was going to be to spend club night at home." "Aren't you trying to take something out of your life without putting any thing else in Its place?" asked her mother. "The Bible speaks uhout our overcoming evil with good. You are trying to overcome It with nothing. You are like the man of whom Christ spoke who had Bwept and garnished his soul-house and then left it empty. The result was that the old evil spirit came back and brought seven other worse devils with him. And, as Christ tells us, {he last state at tnat man was worse than the first. The man merely had a soul to let. Where he made his mistake was In not getting in some good tenants to take the places of the ones he had turned out. The Italians have a proverb that says that the busy man Is vexed with only one devil, the idle one with seven. It Il lustrates tho old saying that, If you want to keep chaff out of the gran ary, fill It with grain. "The point of all this is that, If you are trying to break a bad habit, you ?hud better start a good habit to take its place rather than to sit thinking; how wretched you are. I would sug gest that you start now to make ?n engagement for. every club night dur ing the rent of the season. Give your se^ something Interesting to do that night J something positive to take your mind in another direction in stead of leaving it to revolve on nothing." N "I hadn't thought of It In that way, mother," said Barbara. "I believe you're right. Only the other day Mar Jorle Sears said she wished some of us girls could get together one evening a week to do some Red Cross work. I believe Til call up now and ask her to come over and help me make some plans." That night after Marjorle had gone Barbara Raid to her mother shyly, "I guess any little blue devfT that comes looking for lodgings with me on club nights hereafter will find that I have no room to spare." ?

There was Just one woman In the hunch who was not complaining, I and she was good to look at, being cheerful, pretty nnd perfectly clothed, from her russet shoes to the brown hat | that topped her gold*brown hair. Her lovely brown suit was coming In eon tact with nil sorts of shabby clothing, ? but she chuckled, and remarked to the strange woman neat to her: "What spoiled children \^e are ! Here we are in a warm, comfortable car, fairly fly ing over the road, and grumbling aU the way. I can remember when a trip t# Indianapolis meant, for me, a chair In a farm wagon, maybe way back over the hind wheels, and yet, even In zero weather, Jpltlng and Jouncing over fif teen miles of frozen road.

Professor Andreade of the Univer sity of Athens, who Is a specialist on the extent of Greek citizenship beyond the Greek frontiers ? in Macedonia and the other Balkans, In Turkey, Syrlu anil Asia Minor ? pointed out the great predominance of the Greeks in the regions to be evacuated by the Turks if they are to leave Europe. The whole vilayet, or province, of Adrianople, extending from the Bal kans down to Constantinople, he de clared, Is as much Greek as It Is Turk and with the Turks out It Is practical ly all Greek. "Even Constantinople. " he said, "Is a Greek city ? the largest of Greek cities ? with a population of 350,000 Greeks. That gives an Idea of the exteut of Greek citizenship in all this section down to the straits, which will have tq be considered on the basis of nationality and race, when the Turk leaves Europe.

HENRY FOURTH OF GERMANY King'* Troubles in Helping to Rule the World Included Muoh Suffering and Humiliation. Of oil tho wrangling luona rchs who hud a part la running the world during tho infancy <of government uuuc was more picturesque than Henry IV of Germany. And ho suffered perhaps tho grfotcst humiliation that over was visited upon u king, writes a historian. Gregory VII became pope in tho sev enth decade of tho eleventh century. The election did not please Henry in the least. Under tho pllferod title of Koman king he claimed a shore in pa pal affairs and did not propose to ho treated lightly. But Gregory persuad ed him to confirm his elevation. Then dlssenslop broke out between the two, and Henry's partisans unseated the pope, who retired to Ciinossa, In the Apennines. Gregory retaliated on Henry by wielding that most powerful weapon of the church ? excommunication. This casting out of the faith was the most feared of all fates In ancient daya, and even Henry's cloae advisers fell away from him. The king faced the storm bravely enough, but things went against him and he decided to pro pitiate Gregory. 80, In the midst of winter he crossed the Alps, u truly pro digious undertaking In those times, and I presented himself before the castle where Gregory was staying, asking au dience. At first Gregory refused, hut then consented on condition that Hen ry dismiss all his attendants and enter alone. The Gorman compiled and quitted his suite to go Inside the walls. Further on he came to a second gate, where hp was told that the popr had -ordered him divested of all his regal ornaments and clothing before proceed ing. Henry reluctantly consented, and received In exchange a coarse woolen tunic. Wearing this, he passed through the gate, thinking his troubles over. But there remained a lust gute and a final trial. For three days and nights ho was kept standing outside the gate In severo weather, fast lug from morn lug until night. At the end of that time Gregory Anally had the king ushered before him ond agreed to lift the ban If Henry would consent to a truce between them, made distinctly on the pope's terms. To this Henry agreed and was restored to the ohurch. !? He left soon after, nursing his hatred for Gregory ond determined to square accounts. This led to the pope nomi nating another prince for Henry's throne* and to endless warfare. The king was- excommunicated a second time and continued under the ban most of Ids troublous life. There have been few Instances of n monarch undergo ing any such humiliation as that he ex perienced, standing outside the pope's door for three days in freezing weather. Now a K. P. A young aviator at one .of the avia tion fields, wrote his mother a letter recently, and among other things he said that he had "got to he a K. P." On receipt of the letter the good moth er, with love In her heart for her. boy, hastened to a Jewelry istore and in formed the Jeweler that she wished to buy a K. of P. ring for her son, saying that she had received a letter from him stating that he had become a K. P. A ring >vas selected, paid for and prepared for mailing. In due time the "K. P. avlatof" received the package containing the ring and n letter from his haother, In which she commended him on the step he had taken and that she was sending him this ring to shdw her appreciation. ? The young man at once saw that his mother was laboring under a mis take, as he was not a member of 'the Knights of Pythias, as she supposed, hut Instead he was kitchen police at the aviation grounds. He at once wrote his mother, explaining the meaning of his letter, and kept the matter a secret for some time, but it was too good, and he told the story to a party of people who were* vislt . Ing at the field. British National Anthem. The authorship of the British Na tional anthem furnishes one of those evergreen subjects of dispute which de light the soul of Individuals whose Joy it is to write letters to the press, ob serves a British exchange. Probably there will also be conflicting evldeflccp, on the question, but the common opin ion now Is that Henry Carey, who died In October, 1743, was the author. At any rate, Carey sang the song as his own composition at a dinner party in Cornhill, while shortly afterwards he approached a publisher with the manu script. It was not at once accepted, and seems to have been first sung In public in 1745 ? two years after Carey'fl death. ' Oil From Melon 8eeds. A genuine American invention orig- j lnated at Rocky Ford, where a melon grower named Burrill, with the fac ulty of Indnctlve reasoning, found OUt that a clear, rich oil can be expressed from the seeds of cantaloupes, notes the Chicago Tribune. He submitted samples to government chemists at Washington, who notified him that their tests Indicated*- a new table oil of the same texture and color as olive oil, one wh|ch needed no refining process.
