President Kroeze of Jamestown col- lege was talking about the trend of the times. “A minister,” he said, “had a forcl- ble reminder of the trend of the times the other day. His brother-in-law, a lawyer whom he’d always rather looked up to, hailed him and asked humbly for the loan of a two-dollar bill. The minister made it $1 and proceeded on his way. He had not gone far when an automobile stopped and his cousin, a horny-handed milk- wagon driver, whom he’d always looked down on as a poor relation and miserable failure, leaped out and asked him to get in and have a run out to Ye Village ‘Inne roadhouse, where a very neat chicken and waffle luncheon was belng served at five a olate.” --EAT- Third*Street Cafe Our' Waiters Do the Waiting a Distinct Aversion to Being Separated. ‘ In Nevada are found curious min- eral specimens known as “sociable stones.” No better name could be given them, since when a few are dis- tributed over a level floor two or three feet apart they will begin to move toward one another to a common cen- ter with an alacrity that is ludicrous. Campers first noticed these stones. They had used wrapping paper for a tablecloth and weighted the corners with some of the stones spread over the level top of a boulder. A few mo- ments later one si the men noticed that the paper was flapping in the breeze and that the four or five stones were huddled in a group in the middle of the paper like a nest full of eggs. He thought the wind was responsible, 'stn.lghtened them and added more | stones. - q The next time he looked around the stones were back in the heap ngain. Once more he replaced the stonés aid sat down to watch them. They began to roll and hitch along toward one an- other again until they were in a pile.

When Commodore Perry defeated the British on Lake Erle, his gunners turned the trick largely with home- made cannon balls, although at . the time . of the engagement the place where the deadly missiles were made was a closely guarded secret. Accldenml discovery a few days ago of a shall antiquated iron furnace near. Steubenville, however, reveals the secret and adds a new chapter to the historical sketches of Perry’s vic- tory. The furnace was found by men engnged in erecting furnaces for a large West Virginia steel company on the Tarr farm in Hancock county, West Virginla, directly across the river from Steubenville. It !3 sald to bave been the first fron firnace In use this, side of the Allegiicny moun- tains, and to have been built by Peter Tarr, one of the earliest settlers along the eastern banks of the Ohlo river.- Old records tn~ Hancock county show that Peter Tarr worked day and night at his secret task of making cannon balls from ore deposits found in_the hillsides about the furnace, and that he sent them overland on mules to Commodore Perry’s forces hiding near Put-in Bay and Kelley's island, awaiting an opportune time to strike the decisive blow at the British naval forces. WILL REVIVE PAST GLORIES Historic Port of Gloucester Likely to Come Back With the American Merchant Marine. The historic port of ' Gloucester, Mass., is likely to be restored to its one-time maritime glory as the Ameri- can merchant marine expands. A bul- letin of the National Geographic so- ciety calls Gloucester the mother of American fisheries. The story of Glou- cester’s_fisher folk is touched on by Kipling in his “Captains Courageous,” James B. Connolly, and Mrs. Ward, in “Qld: Maid’s Paradise.” Norman's Woe, off Gloucester, is the scene of numer- ous deep sea tragedies touched on by Longfellow in his “Wreck of the Hes- perus.” Schooners are said to have orig- fpated in Gloucester and to have been so named by a Gloucester shipwright who, when he launched a vessel, heard a spectator explain: “Oh, how she scoons.” The expression was used to describe the bounding of a pebble thrown sidewise into the water. Gloucester has a floral curiosity of great’ beauty and fragrance, the mag- nolia glaucus, which grows In the ‘swamps. near the -elty. Amorg the natural wonders that Gloucester dis- closes are Rafe’s chasm, where the pounding waves churn and rumble; the rocking stone, oscillated for an inch or so by the incoming tides; “Old Mother Ann” and “Whale's Jaw.” ' Painless Dentistry. “An American at home, with or with- out toothache, is not much affected by the sign, ‘Painless Dentistry,’ but at sight of It- In a forelgn land he thrills pleasurably,” a traveler said. “Its lure Is not profession- al. Every tooth in his head " may be perfectly sound, yet if stranded and homesick he welcomes that sign be- cause all over Europe It is a sure indication that somewhere In the neighhorhood lives a citizen of the United States. From the northern- most town of Norway and Sweden to the boundaries of Sahara the words ‘painless dentistry’ are likely to hit you in the eye at the most unexpected turning. Usually they are followed or preceded by ‘American,’ but that quall- fying term is entirely unnecessary. Dentists of other countries make no pretense of performing painless den- tistry, or if they do they do not adver- tise thelr skill. They leave that for their American rivals.” —_— Cold!—Sure. On one of our most recent cold Sat- urdays the tenderfoot rank boy scouts £ Terre Haute made an all-day hike along the Wabash. They were de- “Who Wrote It?” When Demetra Vaka, author of “Haremlik” and “In the Shadow of Iglam,” first came to America she was governess for a year to the two little grandsons of J. Fenimore Cooper. The children had been brought up with the utmost reverence for their famous grandfather, and had uncon- sclously imbibed the belief that all the world's best literature was the off- spring of his pen. Something was sald in the elger boy's hearing one day about one of the books of the Bible, with some refer- ence to its authorship, and the boy looked up at his governess with a startled face. “Who wrote the Bible?” he demand- ed, as one whose first faith has been shaken. Demetra Vaka explained as pest as she could about the various books, and the boy sighed, still a bit incredulous. “] aways thought,” he said slowly, “that grandfather wrote it.” No Longer an Instructor. “You haven't suggested ‘a campaign of -education’ recently.” “No,” replied Senator Sorghum. “I don’t dare. The folks out my way are getting to think they know more about politics than I do.” Sleeping Sickness Mystery. At a recent meeting of the National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Simon Flex- ner told what little is known about “gleeping sickness,” which has made its appearance in America. Doctor Flex- ner said the cause, method of propa- gation and means of cure were as yet unknown. DESPERATE, SHE TOLD HER = .
