THE COUNTRY WEEKLY PRESS The city -dailies often josh -about the country press, :But the small-town country weekly is an -all-around success, It beats the daily paper for a sheet that's read clean through; And its patent insides function and are entertaining, too. There is less of bluff and blustes, less hysteria and pose, Less of ballyhoo and brainstorm, less -divorce and human woes. And the sanest folks will tell you, having watched the passing show, : There's a lot of frothy piffle that is not worth while to know. ,Tak e the city Sunday supplement that is dumped upon the porch; It buries us in literature, and keeps -us home from'church. It corrupts our wives and children •with- its freakish, morbid show, For its jokes are often nightmares •and its ideals often low. The city daily has a man who reads tihe country press, And the news he criibs and rewrites is what makes for his success. And as he claps and butchers it for all that he nan use, •He ridicules the makeup of the heads and the local news. But how welcome is the weekly along the R. F. D. When Grandma polishes up her specs and takes it with her tea. And\ with what comment she smiles and nods her head As she clips for her scrap album the best thing's she has ever read. The poem by a neighbor, or the win- ners at the fair; Obituaries and weddings are among her treasures rare. Ami, unlike the city editor who weilds the wicked shears, She clips the paper lovingly, her smiles mixed with her tears. The country sheet has been the work of men o£ great renown; The bulk of all our best-loved men came from the country town. For 'tis here you get the human touch that's always understood. And you'll find some worthwhile people in the small-town neighbor- hood. You'll find more Christian- charity, and more, good common sense; f Here thrives originality without so much pretense. While the daily paper shouts it with its billboard type so tall, The small-town ways of doing may • be the wisest after all. —'Roy Churchill Smith, in Inland Oil Index. CREAMERIES MUST PAY THE U. S. $50,000. According .to an Ogdensburg -dis- patch, it is said that the Treasury Department, at Washington, has as- sessed penalties aggregating $50,000 on owners of creameries situated along the St. Lawrence river which ~ibave been handling Canadian cream and milk since 1922. It is stated that the amount claimed by the gov- ernment represents the difference in rates on cream and milk of a certain grade. One creamery man has been notified to turn over $6,000 to Uncle Sonn and it is said that he will have to borrow the money. PROFIT BY THIS. Don't Waste Another Day.

A CENTURY OF STABILITY I THINGS ! UNUSUAL % By T. T. MAXEY ' * * * (©, 192-1, WosLern Newspaper Union.) LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK Mount Lassen, which geologists are pleased to term \a flying volcano,\ is located in the southeastern part of Shasta county In northern California, Lassen, standing between the ends of two mountain ranges noted far and wide for the beauty of their scenery— the Sierra Neva das and the Cascades —viso to. a height of 10,400 feet, and has the distinction of being the only volcano located within the confines of our United States.' that may be re- garded as being at all active. Although there wore outward In- dications of the fact that tremendous Internal heat continued to prevail, with the exception of the escape of some smoke or steam at somewhat ir- regular as well as Infrequent periods, no serious eruption had occurred fof\ so long (about two centuries) that the present generation of the world at largo has practically forgotten that there was such a peak as Lassen, let alone the taef. that It had volcanic tendencies. Consequently, in 1915, when Mount Lassen, with surprising suddeness, broke out In ft series of violent explosions and eruptions which attracted the attention of the nations of the world to its doing, there was a rush for histories and geographies to post up on this mountain. Although students of volcanic ac- tion contend that recent eruptions were feeble in violence as compared with those of long ago, nearby resi- dents declare that these latest ones were terrifying to the nth degree. Tremendous, broad-spreading columns of dense smoke were - forcibly ex- pelled from the crater; small stones were thrown a mile or more, many bowlders not so'\far sand and luva dust rained down on the surround- ing country over a radius of two miles. A blast of heated gas escapedr swept down a creek valley, melted the snow and created a torrent. The only possible sight of the kind in the United States, following out Its policy of preserving the most dis- tinguished of our scenic possibilities \For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People,\ congress, in 1016, created the peak and the volcanic and lava fields, lakes, springs, and canyons •>-hiclT surround it, in all 124 square Miles, as n national park.

Uncle Aib says, a squeaky windmill never cured insomnia or gained and popularity with, the neighbors. Right after the hay has been drawn is a good time to pick up those stones that bothered the mower in cutting it. More attention to shrubbery, flowers, and lawns will make many a farm home more home-like and less homely. Bulletin E 84 of the state college of agriculture at Ithaca tells how to grow more hay that will save feed bills, and a postcard brings it. Al- falfa turns the trick. Floating Factory One of the Norwegian whaling com- panies established a floating factory and two whalers off the coast of An- gola last year when they were unable to obtain a land concession. The floating factory without fixed base has a wider field and may prove, It is said, to be the method used in the whaling of the future. To the Rescue TH' OLE GROUCH DOUU 1 OUT M\eKElS V HER .

Fine Architecture in Picturesque Old City On the bumpy, Incredibly leisurely line from Chartres to Houen Is the city of Dreux, by no means unknown to architects, and quite deserving of a visit from them, If only for its old houses and Its four notable \monu- ments historlques,\ says a writer in Scrlbner's Magazine. Of these latter, the superb belfry of the old hotel (To vllle stands forth as one of the finest In France. From the east its well pro- portioned profile is in harmony with the simplicity of that facade*and from the west, towering up at the end of the Grande Eue, there is just that wise choice of ornament to endow it with a restrained richness and a sense of excellent scale. The Gothic tracery patterns are especially free and lovely, A good snail's journey away is the yellow stone forrn of the Egllse St. Pierre, a product of those Interesting periods when the late Gothic- and the early Renaissance arts were mingling together. One of the towers Is com- plete, very clear cut and line, while the other for some reason was stopped abruptly, and remains unlsuehed and unadorned, presenting a strange out- line of unfinished piers against the sky. Of an entirely ^different character Is the Echo des Jeunes FUles, alias the Tribunal of Commerce, alias the Hotel de Dieu, a Sixteenth century block of stone and brick, capped, by a huge blue slate roof and sporting a curious iron ribbed rose window. The simplicity of Its mass Is very splendid; but this seems insufficient, to attract any \ohs\ or \ahs\ from passing tour- ists. \Shirt of Nessus\ Told of in Old Fable \The shirt of Nessus\ is a phrase used to describe the tortures of re- morse. According to one version of an ancient legend it was a gorgeous, gold- bedecked garment given to the wife of Hercules by a centaur who hated him. With it he gave the advice that if ever she found her husband's affec- tion waning she should persuade him\ to don the shirt, when his love for her would return. Years passed, and Hercules, after the fickle fashion of mytliieal heroes, grew tired of his wife. She thereupon be- thought herself of the centaur's gift, which she begged her husband to wear, says London Tit-Bits. He put it on, only to find that it burned and tortured him, and finally caused his death, for he built a great funeral pyre, laid himself upon—It and bribed a friend to fire it rather than endure the torments of the shirt, which clung to his body and could not he removed. A centaur was a legendary creature witli the body of a horse and the arms and head of a man. Therefore if we say of a horseman that he sits his horse like a centaur we mean that he rides so perfectly that he and the animal seem to be one.

The commercial center of the world In the Middle ages, Venice has been known as \The Bride of the Adriatic\ and the \Queen of the Adri- atic.\ To this day tribute is paid by Venice with elaborate ceremonies to the Adriatic, whose placid waters take the place of streets and bear upon their bosom the trade and life of the city. Venice- is known also as \The City of St. Mark,\ after Its patron saint, and as \The City of the Lion,\ an allusion to the great winged lion In front of the cathedral, holding in Its paws the gospel of St. Mark. Earth's Central Core Studies of varying velocity of earth- quake tremors passing through the in- terior of the globe led Professor Wie- chert of Holland to conclude that the earth consists of a central core of iron or steel, about 5,300 miles In diameter, surrounded by a stony she'll nearly 1,- 000 miles in thickness. Between the outer solid rind and the Inner layer of rock covering the metallic core, he thinks there is a layer of liquid or plastic material a little less than 20 miles below the earth's surface. Indians' Steam Bath The sweat bath has been used by the Sioux and other Indians of the Northwest for generations. The frame- work of the bath closet is made of limber willow sticks, over which are thrown blankets and skins anchored With heavy stones. In a hole In the center of the both are white-hot stones, on which the bather splashes cold water to make steam. Periodically he drinks cold water to Induce perspiration. In the meantime the bather lashes his body wlth a bundle of tightly-bound straw. After thirty minutes of this he runs to a stream and plunges Into the cold water. For soap the Indian uses fine mud at the bottom of the stream. A twenty-minute sunning completes the semi-weekly bath, says Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance in the Mentor mag- azine. Explaining Battleground \Boy is this the field on which the great battle was fought?\ asked the tourist. \No sir; that be at the top of the hill,\ replied the native boy. \Dear deaf!\ exclaimed the tourist; \that must be a mile away.

He never would lend his field for anything, not even for the village sports.\ Each in His Place Tolstoy on his farm, Milton without his sight, Bunyan in his prison, Pas- teur in his laboratory, nil did great things for the world. All these had their burdens and their limitations— and who has not? Yet they wrought mightily for the good of mankind. They didn't say, \Because I am on a farm, or biind.'or In prison, or confined- within a workshop, I cannot do any- thing worth while.\ Rather did they say: \This is my lot, but I shall not despair. I will make the most of mj opportunities, and do my best while 1 have life.\ This is the spirit of all those who do great things. Hard as Rock Ever try to identify rocks by tlieh shades, color, feel, taste, hardness and othef marks of Identification? That's something else to think about while hiking.

(© 1)3' Margaret Boyd.) \All the dull, deep pain, and con- stant anguish of patience)\ —Evangellna. Peaceful patience Is for the old or the philosophical. For the rest of humanity, patience is, indeed, a mat- ter of constant anguish, a waiting for the hope deferred that \maketh the heart sick.\ So. true Is this that Thoreau, looking around at his ac- quaintances, expressed the belief that, \The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What Is called resigna- tion Is confirmed desperation.\ Patience lifts merits, but no pleas- ures. There Is no doubt that what- ever we greatly desire will come to us if we have the patience to wait for it long enough; but it takes ago or great philosophy to lead us to nay with Burroughs: Serene, I fold my hands and -wait. Nor .care for wind nor tide nor sea; t rave no more 'gainst time or fate, For lo! my own shall come to me. * * * * * * * The stars come nightly to the slty; The tidal wave unto the sea; Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high, Can keep my own away trom ail. ' Most of us want what we want when we want it. When wo are pa- tient, it is because our only choice Is between patience and Impatience. We speak, much of the patience of Job, but little of the anguish of that patience—the anguish that led him to curse the day of his birth, crying out, \Let the day perish wherein I was born\; the anguish expressed in Ms speech, \When I lie down, f Bay, When shall I arise, and the nighi be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.\ One of the great causes of misunder- standing between the old and the young is due to the fact that the old can be serenely patient and the young cannot. It was Holmes who told tho tale of the farmer who refused to plant an apple orchard because the trees matured so slowly he might not reap the benefits of his toll. The farmer's father refused for the same reason; but the old grandfather plnnf. ed the orchard and lived to drink elatf made from its apples. It takes imttrf) of the \dull deep pain, and constant anguish of patience\ to bridge Cfco gate between the impatient young ?xiab and the natlent jrrandfather. y of Stolen Kiss of Revolutionary Days l-siuii Mount Holly, N. J., comes o -- i.ry of a kiss snatched from Stephen uirnrd's pretty young wife by Col. \V:iller Stewart of the American army, which is a cherished legend of that section and for which there is consid- erable historic foundation. It is gen- erally known that upon the approach of the British army to Philadelphia In 1777, Stephen Glrard, who was In busi- ness there and who later became one of the leading financiers of that city, moved to Mount Holly and purchased a small farm. Here he and his wife lived and kept store for two years. The story of the stolen kiss is told in Stephen Simpson's biography of Stephen Girard, published in 1S32. During Girard's residence at Mount Holly, tlie biographer states, the American army encamped In the neighborhood, and Girard's store af- forded many moments of hilarity to the soldiers. One afternoon Colonel Stewart and a fellow officer visited the - store to make a small purchase and to see Girard's pretty wife. Colo- nel Stewurt could not resist the temp- tation to snatch a kiss from Mrs. Girard 'while' her husband had his back turned. The lady immediately told her husband who forced the colo- nel to apologize. It is said that the occurrence caused a lot of disturbance at the time. For many years the story was he^ Ueved to\ have originated in the au- thor's imagination for it was known that he had a personal grudge against Girard, but the discovery that Walter Stewart was a colonel In the Conti- nental army and that he spent six days in Mount Holly during Girard's residence there gave the story some credence.—Pathfinder Magazine.

Easy to Tell Fortune Shown by Tea Leaves The custom of telling fortunes from tea leaves left in the cups is by no means on the wane. It is a simple matter to memorize most of the signs, and a good imagination is also of great assistance. Leaves in the form of a train are Said to mean either a journey or the arrival or departure of some one in whom you are interested. A snake Indicates enemies. Doves are sup- posed to be lucky, and so are stars, the crescent moon, and horseshoes, says London Tit-Bits. News from abroad is often fore- shadowed by a tent. Shoes mean a journey. If the cup Is clear all round it is said to be a good sign. Gloves indicate a meeting with strangers*, while stockings usually foreshadow presents. Chairs mean visitors; keys new un- dertakings. Initials are usunlly deemed to be lucky. Black clusters of trees mean gatherings, but may also be taken to mean a cluster of worries. IT PAID ROBINSON CRUSOE TO ADVERTISE. •One of the most persistent adver- tisers in the -history of success was Robinson Crusoe. He knew what he wanted and he put up an ad for one. He hung a shirt on a pole, at the top of his island, that, in the language of the sea, was plain to every sea-faring man. The circulation was small—there was no other medium but Crusoe kept at it, despite the fact that he got no inquiries for a long time. He duangect his copy^-ias\ one garment after another was frayed out—and in the end he got what he wanted. Suppose Crusoe had taken, down that signal after a time and declared —\Advertising doesn't pay\—Where would he and his story be now? Put up your signal and keep it there. Cr.usoe advertised under very discouraging circumstances. You've •got a sure thing—it is only necessary to have the patience, persistance, and •pluck of Robinson Ousoe—'and the good ship \Better Business\ will soon tie up alongside your pier. . GET IN TUNE ! I wonder if you're sad fa-day—just sick at heat* and tired! I wonder if you're worrying—no longer hope inspired, Well, if you are, don't think that life is blacker than before; It may be that you're travel-spent, and feel the journey more. Just rest a bit; just smile a bit; then pluck up surength anew, And tackle work whble-heartedly— you're bound to pull it through. It may be that the wasps of life, which sting us every one, Seem, oh, such big and fearsome things—they blot away the sun! And hills may rise as mountains quite—and little pools seem oceans; While tiny bothers sweep our lives with tempest-wild commotions. But there, don't think the world's -at at fault—it's nothing of the kind; It's you my, friend—you're \out. of tune,\ as you will quickly find. For when you've had a bit of change —it may be but a day! You'll buckle on your working gear and start in right awiay! You'll laugih. at all your dingy doubts which tried to trip you up, * And with new hopes and fresher dreams you'll fill life's brimming cup. You'll find your niche and do your task and greet your chums—and cry: \I thought the would was out of sorts —but all the time 'twas I!\ —London Tid-iBits.

Indeed, the affair happened only two years ago. This wise—Maehado, a dark-skinned Bnhlano Brazilian, was a thief. He stole the cattle of Ben Heck, who had come from Texas to try his fortune in Brazil. Ben spoke to him iib'nit it. Maehado got angry.

Having killed his man, Ben hud to pack up for a bit. Weeks passed without news and Ben's friends got- anxious. They found him at' last chained to the prison floor of a border town. Ben, no great orator, explained as best he could. He sold he was Just getting safely over the border, when the police raided the train, looking for revolutionaries.
