This morning the mercury ‘was 20 degrees above the 0 mark— a difference of 40 degrees in temper- ature :{-within: . twenty-four hours. Great is the ““banana” belt. Trying: the Wrong Man. ‘An unusual ‘verdict was rendered by the jury in a case tried in a California town a good many years ago. The question was as to the ownership of several head of cattle which the de- fendant was accused of having:stolen from the plaintiff. As the cases pro- ceeded and different witnesses gave their evidence, it became apparent to all listeners that the defendant was an innocent man. ‘When. it came time for the jury to:retire to consider their verdict, they did so, but returned to the courtroom in a few:' moments. The foreman looked the judge straight in the eye and said with a drawl and twang which betrayed his New Eng- land’origin: 5 “Jedge, we find the plaintiff guilty.” * “The court is not trying the plain- tiff, but thedefendant,” sald his honor hastily, and the matter being. explain- ed, the foreman was at length induced to express the ‘jury’s opinion that the defendant ‘was not' gullty. i “Howsomever,” ‘added the foreman solemnly, “’pears to. me we're con- sldering the wrong man, your ‘honor!" Holy Land a World Centor.* It used to be a fancy that the Holy Land was the center of the world. In a sense not then meant it was indeed central. It-occupled a strategic posl- tion. Three continents converge here— all the continents known as the an- clents—Asia, .Africa and Europe.. Con- tiguous: to Palestine on the:south lieo Egypt and on' the north Syria.

Pt A e S A Clash of Prayers. Maggle, with her fair face and blond halr, and Nina, with ‘dusky skin and kinky wool, had played together at mud pies and had swung on the same gate ever since they could.remember, for Nina's mammy was Maggie's nurse, 8ays the Housekeeper, They were now seven years old. Maggie loved Nina In splte of her color, yet she had a feeling that her friend deserved to be white, so she added to her prayer each night: “Please, God, make Nina white.” As the weeks went by and Nina re- mained unchanged Maggie felt that her petition needed re-enforcement, so she confided in Nina, begging her to pray for the greatly desired bleaching. But Nina in surprise looked at Maggie with wide open eyes and exclalmed: “Me? No, sir-ee. Fo' de Lawd, Maggle, I doan wanter to be no white child, an’ I's jes’ prayin’ with all my might fer you to come black!” The Intelligent Bird. Two negroes in Washington wers overheard: discussing the Intelligence of birds in general. “Blrds 18 shore sensible,” observed one darky to the other. “Yo' kin learn them anything. I uster work for a lady that had one In a clock, an’ when it was time to.tell de time it uster come out an’ say cuckoo jest as many times as de time was!” “Yo' doan’ say so?’ asked the other negro incredulously. . “Shore thing!” responded the first darky. “But de mos’ wonderful part was dat it' was only a wooden bird too!”—Harper’s Weekly. The Builders. “The Egyptians were the builders,” sald a contractor enviously. “No won- der their monuments will endure for- ever. Labor was nothing to them. As’ you would spend s cent on a newspa- per 8o would an Egyptian king put 10,000 men to work upon a temple. Labor, you see, cost nothing. A strik- ing example of the Egyptian prodigal- ity of labor lles in this fact: No less than 2,000 men were employed for three years In carrying a single stone; a stone of unexampled size, from Ele- phantine to Sals.” Unlucky at Bridge. “Do you believe in this thirteen su- perstition?” asked Tete de Veau. “I do,” replied L'Oignon. *I could never understand why I was so un- lucky at bridge till I discovered that I was always dealt a hand of just thir- teen.”—Exchange. A Little Mixed. A Hindoo barrister thus excused an absent client whom sickness had pre- vented from coming to court: “The man has fallen unwell, your honor, and he has sent a man here to say that he is Iying and cannot come.” ; A Theory. Tommie—Pa, how do storms git out? Tompkins—Get out? What are you driving at—out of what? Tommie— W’y, the weather bureau, o’ course. I @idn’t know but mebby the man left a‘| '’ frawer open. A Failure. “When she gave you the plece of cake; did you say ‘Thank you? “Yes, ma, but it didn't do no good.” “Didn’t do any good ?” “No; she didn’t give me another plece.” ¢ Three things too much and three too little are pernicious to man—to speak much and know little, to spend much and have little, to presume much and be worth little.—Cervantes. A Spurgeon Ruse Spurgeon, the famous English di- vine, once passed a stonemason who, after each stroke of his hammer, curs- ed and swore, Mr. Spurgeon laid his hand on his shoulder and, looking kind- ly at him, said: “You are an adept at swearing. Can you also pray?” With another oath. he replied, “Not very likely.” Holding up 5 shillings, Mr. Spurgeon said if he would promise never to pray he would give him that. “That s easily earned,” said the man, with a fresh oath, and put it in his pocket. When Spurgeon left the man began to feel a little queer. When he went home his wife asked him what ailed him, and he told her. “It {s Ju- das’ money,” sald the man, and on a pudden impulse he threw it into the fire. The wife found it and took it out and discovered who had given it to him. The man took It back to Spur- geon, who conversed long with him, warning him, ‘and at length was the means of saving him. He became an attached member of his flock. PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS PAZO OINTMENT is guaranteed to cure any case of Itching, Blind, Bleeding or Protrading Piles in 6 to 14 duys or money refunded.
