5 PUT IT UP TO GRANDFATHER
_____ 1
? Four-Year-Old Kept Her Pennies
While Elderly Relative Was
Forced to "Dig Up."
'7 Grandfather Is a very dignified, re- j
tired minister. But still, with all his
dignity he regularly takes his four5
year-old granddaughter to Sunday .
1 school because he thinks that she
should have this religious training \
n while she Is yet young,
i The other Sunday it was Mary El- i
i len's fourth birthday and she, after the
' custom of the school carried with her '
f four pennies to place In the birthday
7 basket Everything went nicely and
the tot went, to the front, her little
i face happy above her Sunday finery. |
Still smiling she stood in row with :
the other birthday children and wait- j
ed while the basket was passed.
1 When It was taken to the others and
: she saw them put their pennies Into
the basket Mary Ellen became dis.
tinctly uneasy. She seemed about to j
flee; then to reconsider and stayed. !
But when it reached her, instead of i
dropping ner pennies into it as tne ;
others had done she held to them !
' very tightly indeed and said: "No, I
I'm going to keep them myself. If i
. yon want any oders yon tan tall my j
. grandpa np. He had a whole handful ;
this mornin'."
And grandfather. In order to keep
" his reputation free from having any j
* of the taints of a piker, had to rise j
from his seat and come forward with !
- four pennies. Then was the amuse- y
j! ment of the congregation not only seen j
| but heard as well.?Indianapolis News, j

Three Million Acres of Hudson's Bay

t Little enough did Charles, in 1670,
,, imagine the future history of the trad- |

less could he have pictured the chain !
of retail department stores in the
l twentieth century. Over 3,000,000 acres ;
i of fertile land, the last substantial |
t fraction of King Charles' grant, is be- i
ing sold to farmers; and as it has lain j
i uncultivated since the days of the Int
dlans, it is pleasant to think that the
farmers will soon be busy on it.

DOG AS CHILD'S COMPANION!
With the Right Kind of Animal,
Youngster Will Seldom Stray
Beyond Safe Bounds.
An observation of our friend, the
fanner, that "I dunno's I ever heard
of a child's gettin' really lost that had
a dog to play with," merits consideration.
Sweeping generalizations are unsafe,
but there is no question of the value
of a dog as a child's playmate and protector.
Some dogs have the runaway
instinct themselves. The call of the
wild stirs within them?they are
vagrants by nature. Such a dog
would delight to have human company
in a runaway journey and are
not safe companions for children. But
the right kind of dogs, and there are
many of them, who have been brought
fA CX CQ71TT1P
up Willi I'UUUICU, ttlC 4U1VD. IV ?
the role of guardian. With such a dog
na child would ever get lost; indeed,
would not be allowed to stray beyond
bounds.
We have in mind a Great Dane
whose temper was such that, although
we were acquaintances, we never ventured
to enter his domain, if he were
around, until he had had time to satisfy
himself that we could pass muster.
Once satisfied you were approved
by the god he called master and goddess
he called mistress, he had an
embarrassing way of standing on his
hind legs and placing his front ones
around your neck?a caress quite likely,
if you were not well braced, to
knock you off your feet. He was the
inseparable companion of the baby of
the family?a boy of four or five?
who had a predilection for running
away. When the youngster started,
th^ Great Dane followed; when the
child reached the gate, the dog blocked
his way, gently but firmly. For anyone
to have touched that child when
the Dane was near would have cost
him his life?unless he had first shot
and shot to kill.
The intelligence of the dog is a
source of constant amazement to
those who know him best and love him
most; and of his devotion there Is,
happily, no question. If all children
had dogs as playmates there would be
fewer to run away and get lost.?New

Varnish Not Full Protection.
1 X
Wood Is not wnouy proiecieu huju
moisture by varnishing, which is
shown by tests of the Forest Products
laboratory in Wisconsin to have only
a retarding effect. The woods used
were yellow birch, basswood, red gum,
African mahogany, white ash, white
pine, Sitka spruce, southeffT yellow
pine, bald cypress, incense cedar, |
Port Orford cedar, and sugar pine; I
but there was no perceptible difference
in the different species In
the moisture absorbed through the
coating. Three coats of high-grade
spar varnish were applied to four
panels of each species, two panels being
brush-coated and two dipped with
a special machine designed to give
an even coat. The panels were dried
72 hours between coats and ten days
after the final coat; and were then exposed
17 days to an atmosphere practically
saturated with moisture. The
brush-coated panels then showed ten
grammes of moisture per square foot
of surface; the dipped, between four
and five grammes.
Stiil Believe in Fairies. I
A case just heard in the Tipperary
courts reveals the survival In Ireland
of a belief in the fairies. It was a
claim for compensation for cutting
trees and bushes around a fort at
Shanbally. The claimant said he especially
valued these bushes as "there
was dancing and lights there every
night."
It was alleged that the defendant
had taken away the bushes to evict
the fairies.
The judge pointed out that If there
were fairies they would visit their anger
on the man who dared to cut
the bushes and not on the owner. He
did not accept the fairy theory and
dismissed the claim.
Receiving wireiess.
By use of photography, a method
invented by C. A. Hovie, an electrical
engineer of Schenectady, wireless messages
can be received and recorded at
a far greater speed and with more accuracy
than heretofore. The invention
permits the eye either to supplement
or replace the ear in reading
wireless messages. The machine has
reached a rate of 400 words a minute,
and in test as many as 600 words.
Up to this time the most rapid method
of recording radio signals has been
by phonograph, but this must still be
transcribed, so to speak, by the ear
and not the eye, and moreover no
permanent visual record Is mada
Harmful Dust In Factories*
The dust in various industrial establishments
Is found by Professor
of Yale Medical school, to
range from about one-twentieth of a
grain of solid particles per 100 cubic
feet of air in a good metal polishing
.shop to 12 grains in a textile factory.
But while a carpet or blanket mill
yields more dust than such industries
as pottery, asbestos, tobacco and steelgrinding,
little of it is inorganic matter,
and it is the dust from abrasive
materials that seems mos-t harmful
and to tend most to produce tuberculosis.

To aid in the capture of automobile

LATENT POWER.
Enormous Force May Some Day Be
A ^
come /i.v<uiauie.
Only a few years ago it was the
teaching that the atom was the smallest
division of matter, and today
scientists are discussing the possibility
of the race learning how to use the
force which would become available
with unlocking of the latent atomic
power.
Prof. W. A. Noyes discussed the
relations between atoms and electrons,
whoch form a part of atoms, in
his address upon being awarded the
Willard Gibbs metal, and stated that
electrons probably rotate. This
would make the atom a sort of minature
universe in which its nucleus
would correspond to a sun and the
electrons to the revolv'ng planets.
Sir Oliver Lodge in a recent address
also spoke of the latent atomic power
which he cons'ders so very great that
it would be disastrous to have it be
come available to men before a moral
plane high enough to prevent its
abuse has been reached. He thought
that a way to realease this great
power is not beyond the possible and
some day't may supply a satisfactory
substitute for that now obta'ned when
.molecules, made up of atoms, are
shattered by combustion of fuel or
other chemical processes.
DR. FRAXK F. JOHNSO>\
On November 3rd, as evening
shadows fell, the soul of Dr. Frank
F. Johnson passed into eternity. After
many months of suffering, bravely
and patiently borne, he went to his
reward as he had 1'ved, quietly, and
it seemed as tho' he slept.
His life had been consecrated to
duty, and all who knew h'm were
impressed with his fine sense of
honor and justice, his ability and
soundness of judgment wlr'ch wa.,
matured by years of endeavor.
Possessed of that char'ty which
"seeketh not her own, is kind, speaketh
no evil," he was ever mindful of
the needs of others, and many will
miss his kindly help and sympath}.
He was never known to speak evil of
others. Loyally he held the good
name of others as a trust. H's high
regard for women and the reverence
he accorded them, characterized the
true gentleman. Self reliance and
reticent, he sought little advice and
volunteered none, shaping his course
with the ability which made the success
he attained. Endowed with unusual
strength of character, still
there was an element of tenderness
in h's nature which made him the
friend of all children, and h's kindly
care of all helpless creatures appealed
to his friends as evidence of
h's great good nature.
While yet a youth he was called
-- TTTV* ioll
upon to assume grave uuues wun...
he performed with cheerfulness and
courage. Remarkable for his honesty
and fair dealing he accorded the
same respect to the humblest as to
the most exalted. He was upright,
using his influence for good, not profess'ng
but doing the things which
are good, claiming no reward but the
joy of service.
He will be sadly missed by many
and in the home there is a vacant
place which we know can never be
filled, but to live in the hearts of
those we love is not to die.
