Tlmon of Athens was a wealthy lord,
and ail the mighty men and women of
the land came and sat at his banquet,
proud to sit there, and they drank deep
to his health. They sent him costly
presents. He sent costlier presents
hack again, and there was no man in
all the land so admired as Timou of
Athens, tiie wealthy lord. But after
awhile, through lavish hospitality or
through betrayal, ho lost everything.
Then lie sent for help to those lords
whom he had banqueted and to whom
he had given large sums of money.
Lucullus, Lucius. Sempi onius and Yen-
tiuias—did those lords send any help to
him? Oh. no! Ltieuilus said, when he
was applied to; '‘Well. I thought that
Timon would come down, lie was too
lavish. Let him suffer for I,is reckless
ness.” Lucius said, ‘T would he very
glad to help Timon, but I have made
money for the marketing? Less temp

But I mu.-.t have :t word with those
who in this Mayday time move out of
larger residences into smaller. Some
times the pathetic reason is that tiie
family has dwindled iu siz.e. and so
much room Is not required; so they
move otft into small apartments. 1
know there are such eases. Marriage and they will have much to tell us of

family, death has taken other mem- “house of many mansions” and of bow
hers of tin* family, and after awhile large the rooms are and of how bright
father and mother wake up to find the fountains. And then, the last load
their family Just the size it was when unloaded, the table will be spread, and
they started, and they would lie lone- our celestial neighbors will come in to
some and lost in a large hoti-e; hence sit down with out* reunited families,
they move out of it. Moving day is a and the chalices will be full, not with
great sadness to such if they have the the -wine that sweats in the vat of

It is so in all your hous» holds. It is so
in mine. \Ye name the rooms after the
persons who occupy them. And then

we discovered in the new place, and
then, the last wagon unloaded, the can
dies lighted, our neighbors who had
helped us to move—for iu those times
neighbors helped each other—sat down
with us at a table on which there was
every luxury they could think of. Well,
my dear Lord knows that some of us
have been moving a good while. We
have sent our children ahead, we have
sent many of our valuables ahead,
sent many treasures ahead. We can
not go yet. There is work for us to
do, hut after awhile it will be toward
night, and we will be very tired, and
then we will start for our new home,
and those who have gone ahead of us,
they will see our approach, and they
will come down the lane to meet us,

building of Rome, or 154 and 153 B.
C.—the question was discussed in
Rome whether 600 or 601 was the be
ginning of the seventh century after
the founding of Rome.
While as. In our days, the standing
question in the capital of the Romans
was “Quid novl ex Africa?” (What Is
the news from Africa?) a third war
with the republic of Carthage seeming
imminent, Cato the elder, Sclplo the
younger and other prominent men of
the day found time for the discussion
of the century question and disagreed.
Some held that 600, others that 601,
was the first year of the new century
of old Rome.
So Calpurnius Plso, the Roman an
nalist, tells us in his records. lie after
ward. In 148 B. C., commanded the
Roman legions in Africa against Car
thage, which two years later succumb
ed to Sclplo Africanus, by whom it
was destroyed.
No doubt hardly a century passed
after the times of Charles the Great
(Charlemagne) in which the centurial
Dommencement problem did not agitate
the minds. This was especially the
case in Italy in the thirteenth and four
teenth centuries.
In the year 1600 there was such a
hot discussion on the question in Ger
many that a medal was struck iu com
memoration of it, with the German In
scription which in English version is:
“Oh. wonder of wonders! Man counts
1G0O, and still he ponders how old he
may be.”
Toward the end of 1799 the same dis
pute arose In the fatherland, and the
discussion was especially hot at Wei
mar, at that time the center of German
culture. There were two opposing par
ties called respectively the “NTnety-
niners" and “Hundreders,” according
to their believing either 1799 or 1800 to
be the last of the eighteenth century.
Goethe aud Schiller, ns may be seen
from their letters, at first siding with
the “Ninety-nlners,” finally were con
verted to Join the “Hundreders.” but
not without first having celebrated,
over a bowl of champagne, the close of
the eighteenth century on Dec. 31.

in reality the wood of the heather. This
peculiar corruption, like many others, is
solely due to the Kuglish tradesman,
who. finding the correct word “bruyere”
somewhat ditileult for the British
tongue to negotiate, quickly reduced it
to the more familiar “brier,” and the
wood has been known by that name
ever since.

Dodging Sheila In Dnttle.
An old army otllcer, speaking of
dodging shots and shells In battle, said
that in all his years of experience he
had only seen three or four shells actu
ally in the air, and they came from the
gun he himself fired.
He explained that there are a few
guns with somewhat slow muzzle ve
locity, and the men firing these can
sometimes catch a glimpse of the
shells in their flight, hut It would be
impossible for any man to see a shot
coming toward himself.
Dodging shells is done by getting un
der cover immediately before a gun is
actually tired.
“For instance.” said tlu* oiHcer. “if 1
wore climbing a hill, at the top ot
which a gun was directed against me,
I could tell exactly when a ahe'l was
likely to come bounding along. Be
fore the order is given to fire the men
in charge of the piece ‘stand clear,’
and that is the warning note, so to
speak. Keep your weather eye on the
gun directed against you, and when
the gunners stand clear you dodge the
ahot.”—London Standard.
Beating tbe Railroad.
There was a man in town recently
who told of a scheme he worked to
beat a railroad. “A friend and myself
wanted to come from Omaha to Kan
sas City. He said to me, ‘You buy a
ticket only to the first station, and [
will show you a good trick.’ I bought
a ticket as requested, while my friend
bought a ticket for the full distance at
the regular fare. We took a seat to
gether iu the train. The conductor
came around, took up the tickets and
put a punched train check In my
friend’s hat, indicating that he was
ticketed through to Kansas City. When
the conductor got out of sight, my
friend took Ids knife and split the card,
lie put half into my bat and the other
into his own. Both splits looked- like
a regular cheek, and I came right on
through without paying any more fare.
We divided the saving, which was
more than $2 each.” — Kansas City
Times.
Point Not Well Taken.
“It seems to mo,” said the magazine
editor, condescending to point out some
of the flaws in the literary style of the
contributor, “you use a faulty figure of
speech when you speak of a ‘brave old
hearthstone.’ How can a hearthstone
be brave?”
“Well, sir.” said tiie contributor, “the
one I am writing about has been under
fire for nearly 40 years without flinch
ing.”—C hiengo Tribune. _
The Benefit.
Widow’s Daughter—Mother, why do
you tell people that I am only 18 when
you know I am 24?
Widow—Because 18’s six years youn
ger than 24.
Daughter—Yes. I know, but surely I
do uot need tiie benefit of those six
years at my age. do I?
Widow—Not at all, my child, but
I do
