AIT FOR MARTIN
(T
a
Negro Preacher Had Premonition That
> Unpleasantness Might Fellow
Hia Appcarance.
; A npgro preacher lost his way one
' night and sought shelter. / Ho waa
; told that the only place available was
, a haunted house down the road. The
preacher had hts Bible with hire; he
; went to the haunted house, bftllt a Are
In the big room and sat down to read
• the good hook. Suddenly a small
;black cat hruabed past him. v.
- "Isn't It nice," thought the old man,
J "that there la life to keep me com-
pany here In thla gloomy place?"
. The oat walked over to the fireplace,
ate a live coal and spat out the sparklL
The old man opened the Bible and
(began to read aloud. Before he could
jgo further another cat entered the
(room, a eat about as big as a collie,
iand this cat walked over to the fire-
place and ste two live coals and spat
out the sparks, i
1 "When are'we g'wine to begin?"
jsaid the little cat.
I > "We can't do nothing till Martin
cotnes.,,i replied the big cat.
i Again the old preacher sought con-
isolation in the Bible, but a third cat
entered the room. This one was about
as bl« ns a pony, audjt ate three live
conts and spat OTif fare sparks. - - —
, "When are we g'wine to begin?"
unld the little cat, iind this time the
.biggest one answered:
"We cau't do uotlilng Ullk Martin
comes."
The old mnn Jumped up, put bis Bi-
ble In bl« bark pocket and ran for the
door. But before he went out be said
to the bi^gpst ent: "When Martin
comes, you tell him I was here, but T
could not remain."—Journal of the
American Medical Association.
SON IN UFE
SHEWS
SYSTEM IN REGULAR SAVING
Money Should Be Made Easy to De-
posit and Then Comparatively
Hard to Withdraw.
"The only way for a man regularly
to save bidney, unless lie be one of
those Individuals possessed of an ex-
traordinarily unrelenting character,"
according to Samuel Crowther, writing
In System, the Magazine of Business,
"Is for the money to be passed Into the
savings account before It reaches him
—that Is. to put him In the position,
once he has made his resolution, of
having to make another resolution to
quit saving fh order to stop the process.
"Finally, take the convenience of
withdrawal? A man will rightly liesl-
tate about going Into any system of
saving which locks up bis funds for
any long period of time. The average
worker has no great margin between
Income and outgo arid he has to be pre-
pared for a rainy day—for a birth, for
h death, for a long Illness. He cannot
afford to put n measurable part of his
funds out of reach. If his money is to
go from him for a long time he very
naturally will not deed nway anything
like so much as ho would if the money
were always available. On the other
bond any system of snvlnc In which
withdrawals may be easily and secret-
ly made Is faulty. The funds should
be aval bible upon short notice, there
should Ix- a penalty for withdrawal,
which penalty should be large enough
to stop withdrawals for frivolous pur-
poses and yet not so large as to work
anything which savors of Injustice on
a man who honestly needs the money."

-Vanity of Venltlee; All U Vanity,"
Never Setter Exemplified Than
by Unhappy Eugenie.
In the middle TOe I had, i for several
years, a suite of rooms in«a hotel In
St. Gall. Switzerland, Returning from
one of my periodical tripa'to England,
the proprietor informed Tiie that be
bad taken the liberty of iwnnittlng a
lady and her attendant to occupy the
rooms for n night, as the hotels were
all full. She was a uilddle-aged wom-
an, of sorrowful aspect, dressed -In
Mack, and walked with a cane, and
although traveling incognito, wttr rec-
ognised by one of the hotel staff as
ex-Kmpress Kugenie, widow of Napol-
eou the Little, who owned a chateau
near Sehaffbausen. <
That was about 1874. And only a
few weeks ugo this unhappy woman,
who had long been tired of life, died
at the age of ninety-four.
What a sad ami checkered career!
Born In Spain, of an unassuming aris-
tocratic family, raised to the glitter-
ing throne of the second empire, lead-
er of Europe's fashion and frivolity,
losing, within a few years, her throne,
her husband and her son, then, an ex-
ile. visiting from time to time, like n
black ghost, the scenes of her fottoer
triumphs. • ■'

CANNOT SIGNAL TO MARS
Scientist Shews Impossibility of Earth
Having Communication With Our
Neighboring Planets.
In attempting to communicate with
Mars, there are several factors that
nrnsr be" taken Ihta rivnsrdenrttoir.
llenry Meier of Center college
summed these up at a recent meeting
of the Kentucky Academy of Science.
He said that In the first place the
probably low temperature, rarefied
atmosphere and absence of water on
Mars are against the existence there
of beings similar to ourselves. In the
next place signaling by light must be
given up, for the reason that the
earth's atmosphere would absorb 40
per cent of the light sent out, and
the distance was so great that an
area of light ten miles square on the
earth would. If seen from Mars
through a telescope magnifying 5(H)
times, appear like an nrea one linh
square viewed at a distance of 500
feet. In considering signals by radio.
It lias been computed thut it would
require a current of a million am-
peres at the sending station to ob-
tain one of one ampere at a receiv-
ing station on Mars. And Mr. Meier
remarked that (lie powerful electric
current sent out by the sun would
probably overwhelm the weak waves
scat from the earth.

Reform Vs. Prevention.
A Eos Angeles woman, who hns de-
voted much tinfe and effort to an In-
stitution that aids unfortunate girls,
referring to the difficulties she^encoun-
tered In gaining sympathy and support
for an enterprise that is not spec-
tacular, writes in the Eos Angeles
Times:
"Isn't It queer that people always
take so much more interest In reform-
ing than in preventing? Should the
time ever come when I need help, I
shall go out and rob a hank, or some-
thing like that. Then I shall be cared
for, and good, charitable people will
bring me flowers and things."
There Is much truth In this, the
Times adds. We pet 8nd coddle the
sinner, but we fall to aid those who
are tempted. __

of crude petroleum in Canada is still

ern Ontario, according to the prelimi-
nary report of the mineral production

ing for 58 years, but production has

from New Brunswick and Alberta. The

these fields in 1!>1i> was 240.970 bar-
rels of 3," Imperial gallons, having a
value of §744,(Ml", as compared with a
fbtal production in 1!' 1S of 304,741 bar-
rel. valued at $H85,14.'l.
