An old British admiral built some villa residences on a high point of the coast, somewhat difficult of access. One day he said to his servant "Now, William, what shall I call them?" "Well, you know," replied Bill, "if I were you I should call them 'Gibraltar "Why?" asked the admiral. "Because," replied the other, "they say Gibraltar will never be taken, and I'm blest if these houses up here will ever be taken." Oh, Pshaw!

A Turner The Senator Ralph Lewis May Joyce, a child of the slums, longed for a better life. She continually besought her father, a stevedore, to try to better the condition of his children. With the exception of May these children were in a bad way. Jennie was a pitiful example of the visitation of the sins of the father upon the children. Larry was fast becoming a crook.

Tie was hit by a stove lid thrown by the falher in drunken fury. The wound healed but the boy's natural tendency was intensified. "Bull' McGee, a power for evil the neighborhood, wanted to marry May. To gam her favor he had Larry set upon and, after a tight, arrested, McGee obtaining his release from the police. Here appears Dr.

von Eiden, an ambulance surgeon, called in to patch up Larry. Dr. von Eideti was impressed with the character of May. "At all costs," he told her, "escape from these sui round- ings." Partially as a result of the faked saving of Larry and because theic seemed no escape, May passively agreed to the marriage with McGce. On the morning of the wedding, however, a fly leaf message from von Eiden proved the deciding factor and she lelt by the fire escape Jenny's admhation for brute power caused her willingly to take May's place.

The Senator condescended to offer May marriage, but she, influenced by the words of von Eiden, again escaped and iound the work she needed in a hospital. McGee sold his wife to the promoters of a foreign concert dive. She threw a note from the window and it came into the hands of Larry. The police raided the place and rescued Jenny, who was brought to May only to die. McGee escaped.

m. Benevolence. My ideal of human intercourse would be a state of things in which no man will ever stand need of any other man's help, but will derive all his satisfaction from the great social tides which own no individual names. No man can play the deity to hia fellow man with impunity--I mean spiritual impunity, of course. For see: If I am at all satisfied 1 with that relation, if it contents me to be in a position of generosity towards others, 1 (must be remarkably indifferent at bottom to the gross social inequality which permits that position, and instead of resenting the enforced humiliation of my fellow man to myself, in the interests of humanity, I acquiesce in it for the sake of the profit it yields to my own self-complacency.

I do hope the reign of benevolence is over; until that event occurs I am sure the reign of God will be James, Sr. Richest Marblo Vein. The greatest marble-producing Industry In the world ia no longer to be found in the famous Carrara district of Italy, but in Vermont, where one of the richest veins in the world stretches in an Irregular line across the state. So great is tbe production of marble In this section that the inhabitants have lost 'nuch of their appreciation of its value, and use it for such humble and utilitarian purposes as paving, underpinning for barns, hitching posts, stepping stones and drinking troughs for horses. This vein Is about fifty-seven miles long, from 1,650 to 2,200 feet in width, and from it is being taken in enormous quantities white marble that is equal to the finest Italian marble, as well as an endless variety of blue, yellow, green and jet-black marbles.

Trout Streams in Rockies. Nearly all of the Rocky mountain forests qontaln splendid trout streams, and, as most of these are kept well stocked, they will doubtless furnish sport for many generations. Game Is also to be found in most of the forests, and In some of them is abundant; but the big game is rapidly disappearing, and many of the species are doomed Thus the Olympic forest is the last stand of the Roosevelt elk, and the mountain sheep is found only In a few forests. On the other hand, deer and bear are still abundant in many of tfie forests, and especially in the Blackfeet, Kootenal, Kanisku, Coeur d'Alene and Flathead of Montana. In the Southwest there is still good hunting on the Apache, the Slgreaves and the Tonto of Arizona and in the Mogollon and Gila country of New Mexico.

India's Aluminum India offera a great field for future supplies of aluminum. There are great deposits of latertte and bauxtte from which aluminum is derived. It is said that the Indian product could be placed on the market at a figure but little more than half that of the present quotation The use of this metal is handicapped by the cost at present, and if the metal could be secured at a lower cost its field of usefulness would be greatly expanded. There are many comparatively accessible points where factories for the extraction of aluminum could be located. Being Philosophical.

A woman of varied and wide experience told me that she had learned that one can view any situation with calmness, provided the effort is strong enough. "You cannot beat 'don't she asserted, "and when you can truthfully repeat that to yourself you can overlook slights and injuries, forget to be resentful and treat everybody wtth courtesy." She maintains that the man or woman who is rude and blunt, who goes about knocking humanity on the knuckles and boasting of the same, is lacking in pride. "It is pride that urges us to make the best of everything," she says, "to show a smiling to the world when we feel more like crying, to cover up the defects in those who are bound to us by ties of any sort.

The circumlocution of legal documents is the penalty of having a bilingual language and descends to us from these countries when the English and the Normans were slowly amalgamating into one people.

So the two races, In the market place or In social converse, to make their meaning clearer, joined a French word to an English or vice versa. That is why in the prayer book words eo often run in couples: "Humble and lowly," "acknowledge and confess," "assemble and meet together." The English was for the English, the Norman-French for the French. Chaucer is a great user of such bilingual phrases: "Hunting and vener- eye," "wright and carpenter," "care and heed." And that is whence lawyers get auch talk as "aid and abet," "will and testament" and "use and wont." Suez Canal a Disappointment. In some respects the Suez canal was disappointment. It was to coat eight uiillion pounds, and be wide enough to take two vessels at any point.

Tbe bill at the end of ten yeara actually come to 16,633,000 pounds and the canal was only wide enough for the passage of a single vessel except at certain sidings. For political reasons De Lesseps avoided the direct route and gave hiw canal an eastward turn when a few miles from tbe old And many visitors expressed surpriafl that the "Suez" canal never went to Suez at all!

An automobile collided with a street organ the other day and the auto went into the curb. The organ didn't escape, however. It lost six notes' from the upper set of a tango waltz and broke two ribs from its collection of popular Scotch airs. Its ragtime love song was badly jolted, too, and large sections were gouged from its "Silver Threads Among the Gold." It suffered the most severely, however, in its "Tower Scene" from "II Trovatore," It being quite impossible after the impact to tell which was Leonora and which Manrico. Nobody was the organ grinder crawling out from under the debris and briskly shouting, "Where ie tin cup?" The cup apd the pennies being found, he went his way Plain Dealer.

Hibernation. The bear is one of the most curious hlbernators, as it is only the female which sleeps, and then usually gives birth to cubs when she wakes. The male will not hibernate as long as food is available. The hibernation of reptiles in cold climates is complete and they will not awake except vlth the advent of rpal wprm temperature or if they be brought from their lair and exposed to artificial heat. Height of Sea Fogs.

The height of fogs, on both land and sea, varies with the conditions. Sometimes they are not much higher than the masts of vessels, and again they may extend to a height of of feet. Others Censored. A newspaper classifies the Tartoua kinds of people, but the world only recognizes two--the rich and the poor. --Nashville Banner..
