CHIVALRY NATURAL TO HIM ,
Brave Act of Virginian Soldier in
France Had its Counterpart in j
?Deed of General Lee.
It was not often that the soldier !
boy would talk at all of those days
In France, but one evening he had i
been telling his uncle and some of j
' the lads who had dropped in of the j
rescue of Parade Rest.
Parade Rest was the company's i
mascot, a rather nondescript dog, of
Ho marked intelligence but devoted to
and beloved by the boys, who had
given him this sobriquet because of
the position in which he always stood,
with one foot turned out. One day
at Chateau Thierry he had been left
behind in a dugout, but had followed
the boys, and at a moment when there
was a lull in. the advance, there, a
tempting target for the enemy, silhouetted
against the glare, stood Parade

the soldier said, looking over the quiet
little group on the home porch, thousands
of miles away from that battlefield,
"but it was some stunt. My
buddie dashed out among the falling
thrapnel and bursting shells and
seized Parade Rest so quickly we
couldn't tell how it was done."
"Where was your buddie from?"
inquired one of the boys in the group.
At the answer "From Virginia," the
soldier boy's uncle smiled, a reminiscent,
comprehending smile.
"He was only repeating an act of
one of the greatest of Virginians, my
lads," the old man began, and then the
, ;little group remembered that here in
v their midst was a veteran of that war
of the Blue and the Gray.
"For one day, during the long siege
of Petersburg, General Lee, in his
effort to encourage his men, took up a
most dangerous position on the front
^ lines. But having been cautioned and
later besought, he retired to the rear.
Only a few minutes later, however,
seeing some fledglings fall from their
nest to the battlefield, he rode out
Jinnped from his horse, and restored
tfiem to safety. It was done very
quickly but not so quickly but that
tiie general, on his well-known gray
horse, was visible to the enemy. But
- the enemy did not fire upon him in
&-V that act.**?Christian Science Monitor.

"According to the testimony of the

you were getting out of the window

said the judge, fiercely, to the
prisoner, who stood, wth a jaunty air,
In tiie dock.

raven paid as much attention to details
in their ships as in their personal
appearance. 'The ship's wash did not

are popular with merchant sailors.

V; a tempting bait to the not too well fed
crew of the submarine. Particularly
tempting cargoes were ocasionally put '

eral papier-mache freight cars of the
small European type, covered with
legends which indicated that they were
loaded with ammunition and bound for
Mesopotamia. It' is easy to imagine
how eagerly the Hun would wish to
sink that cargo.?Admiral Sims in the

Mixing Yams.
By force of industrial circumstances
an odd and interesting kind of internationalism
appears in the report that
Hongkong factories are knitting with
a mixture of Japanese and American
yarns. An estimate for the current
year is that American yarns to the
value of about one million gold dollars
will come into Hongkong and go
out again all over the far East in
* knitted articles, the bulk of them
made of American yarns but a considerable
part of American and Japanese
yarns mixed. People in North China,
the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines,
and in smaller number in South
America and Europe will thus be going
about in what might be called
"American-Japanese hosiery 'made in
China.***
Orator Not Dependent
John Bright's notes for a speech
were written on a visiting card. Lord
Asquith is the authority for this statement,
but it does not appear quite to
harmonize with Bright's recorded practice
of using several half-sheets in the
case of important speeches. He certainly
was not dependent on his notes,
however, being always able to repeat
verbatim any of the sentences which,
owing to the applause which greeted
them, had been inaudible to the press.
On one occasion the wind played havoc
with his half-sheets, which he had laid
on top ef his hat But he picked them
up, sorted them unconcernedly, and

BIBLES IN STRANGE BINDINGS !
|
Almost No Limit to Variety of Cover* j
ings That Have Been Afforded
the Scriptures.
MA Bible zoo" sounds most puzzling,
but it is nothing more startling than
a collection of Bibles bound in the
skins of a great variety of animals.
We so often find that when a man's
life is given to any particular work he
is apt to be interested in the curious
side of this same work. It is small
wonder then that the king's printers of
England should have a collection of
Bible curiosities.
There are many Bible readers who
delight in having their own particular
Bible bound in a binding that is out of
the ordinary. Hence not only the usual
animals have been requisitioned for
their skins, but the unusual ones as
well?reptiles, fish and beasts of prey.
Often these Bibles are used for Christmas
gifts.
It is strange to think of a huntsman
in the wilds of Asia killing the bear, or
a sailor in some northern sea catching
the seal, that gives the skin with which
a Bible shall be eventually bound to
grace the desk of some fastidious
woman or an eccentric millionaire.
Yet such is often the case, and rather
expensive luxuries they are.
One Bible is covered with a long,
thick, soft hair, so shaggy that the
shape of the book is hidden. This was
taken from no less a beast than a
grizzly bear. Another is made from
the skin of a serpent, which seems not
at all inappropriate when we recall
that'to the Oriental the serpent has
always been the symbol of wisdom. A
gray, beaded surface, quite resembling
glass, is presented by another binding
which upon inquiry we find came from
a man-eating shark. Delicate, indeed,
is the soft, snowy, fluffy cover given by
a white lamb. There is a badger Bible
and a skunk Bible, the latter looking
for all the world like a lady's muff.
After a moment's study we recognize
in a reddish-brown binding the skin of
a squirrel. The Persian sheep, the
Himalaya sheep and other foreign varieties
of the family have been called
upon to furnish Bible coverings. Goat
skin tanned is morocco leather. But
there are some people who like a bind*

a fine shaded gray and seems substantial.
But most curious of all Is a Bible
bound in the skin of a giraffe. Of
course, no more delightful binding can
be imagined than seal.
And even though none of us might
care for Bibles bound in any of these
curious covers for our Christmas gifts,
still it is interesting to learn what a ,
few of the "other half of the world"
delight in.
Hilda, Abbess of Whitby.
In 1915 the world held its breath,
mute with horror. The Zeppelins had
swooped down over Whitby, on the
coast of Yorkshire. A cry of vengeance
w<ent up when it was learned
that half of the ancient abbey of
Whitby had been destroyed. Founded
In the seventh century, it was Hilda's
abbey. The majestic ruins through all
the ages could be seen as you climbed
the quaint little seaside town of Whitby,
its red-tiled houses seeming to lead
directly and only to that abbey on the
heights. Hilda was a princess of the
blood royal, but early dedicated herself
to the religious life. King Oswy
gave her a grant of land and she erected
the celebrated convent, or abbey, of
Whitby. Of her sanctity and of her
learning the men in high places in
church and state who sought her advice
and prayers attest in full measure.
Caedmon, the earliest English poet,
tarried in the monastery for monks
which she erected near her own convent
to reform the religious life of
friars. The famous council of Whitby
was held in the monastery. Could not
fho Z?nn?linR have snared the sacred i
and almost perfect ruins of a holy spot
like Whitby abbey??Chicago'Journal

Increased Use of Coffee.
Whether prohibition has or has not
increased the use of coffee, it is at
least a fact that the people of the
United States are now consuming more
coffee than has been their custom and
are paying far greater sums for it than
ever before. A statement by the National
City bank of New Tork shows
that the quantity of coffee brought into
the United States in the calendar year
1919 will probably be greater than ever
before, notwithstanding the fact that
the cost is about three times as much
a pound as formerly. The imports for
the ten months ending with October
approximate 1,140,000,000 pounds,
against 940,000,000 pounds in the same
months of lajjt year, and 1,122,000,000
bounds in the corresponding months ol
1917, the former high record years in
importation.
Reorganizing Chilean Army.
* ?rtlnnfi fnr 9 fniw
Ilium iiinmcu l. va. w .
Cher reorganization of the Chilean
army has recently been made by
the minister of war. The plans are
to operate along three distinct lines.
First, an organisation of a number
of civilian bodies is to be made for
the purpose of stimulating interest
in and development of military aeronautics.
Second, an attempt is to
be made to increase the standing
army to 28,000. Third, a number of
military railways are to be built
which are to have strategic character.
To aid in bringing about the latter
a number of Japanese military railroad
authorities have been retained.
Gasoline Locomotives Now.
Gasoline locomotives that are safe to
use in coal mines have been invented
in England, their ignition taking placo

through water.

J. C. Euste, of Rock Bridge Baths,
Va., stated: "My horse is the best
advertisement you would want for
Dr. LeGear's Stock Powders. He
was in a run down fix and poor and
I thought he would die soon. I got
some of Dr. LeGear's Stock Powders
?and today he is as fine a looking
horse as you can see in this section.
I only used a few boxes of Dr.
LeGear's Stock Powders."
Mr. Huste benefitted by the advice
of Dr. LeGear, Graduate Veterinary
Surgeon of 27 years' experience.
By following the Doctor's
treatment, you can keep your stock

"AIL 0. it
FOR THE BLOOD"
b Wbat a Citizen of Georgia Sap of
ZIRON, the New Iron Tonic.
Iron is needed by the blood to keep
men and women strong and healthy. Iron
is needed by the nerves to keep them
toned up. Ziron, the new iron tonic, will
put iron into your blood and should help
renew your tagged nerve forces in the
way it has done it for many others.
Read what Mr. J. R. Bell, Rt. 2, Oconee,
Ga., says about the effects of Ziron:
"I think Ziron is all 0. K. for the blood.
That was what I have been taking it for?
my blood. 1 liked Ziron so well that I
went back to the store and got two more
bottles of it"
Ziron is a combination of a pure medicinal
inorganic iron salt, mentioned in the
U. S. Pharmacopeia, wifh thehypophosphites
of lime and soda, and other valuable
tonic ingredients, endorsed and recommended
by the best medical authorities
and mentioned in the medical text
books.
All druggists sell Ziron on a moneyback
guarantee. Look for the formula
on the label. Get a bottle today, and
give it a fair trial. ,
