stamping on his memory. He told the

"I have known more or less of that

farther fo see a master's picture of the

passions of secession; as I would go
farther to see a plcturo of the springs
of tho Amazon, far up under the cold
white splinters of the Andes, than the
most ndcijuate representation of the
Imperial river's tropical course.

LITTLE KNOWN OF ST. MARK
Facts as to History of Evangelist Havo
Been Lost In the Passage
of Years.
St. Mark, the evangelist, is. believed
to have been born of Jewish parents,
deriving their origin from Iho tribe of
Levi. He Is also thought to have been
"sister's son" to tho apostle St. Hot or,
though some have confounded him
with John, surnnmed Mark, "sister's
son" to St. Harnabas. He was prob
ably converted by St. 1'eter, and was
his constant attendant in his travels.
He Is traditionally said to have found
ed the church In Aqullela, and there
to have written the gospel which bears
his name. St. Mark suffered on April
25, though the certain year of his mar
tyrdom Is not precisely determined by
the ancients. Sf. Mark's symbol Is the
Hon, because ho has set forth the royal
dignity of Christ; or, according to
other writers, on account of his begin
ning with the mission of St. John the
Haptlst, which Is figured by the lion;
or lo a legend that was popularly be
lieved In the middle ages, that the
young of the lion was born dead, and
after three days was awakened by the
voice-of Its sire, symbolical of the resurrection.

Timothy Alden's Typesetting Machine
First of the Kind to Be Placed
on the Market.
Timothy Alden was born In Barn
at able, Mass., 00 years ago. He was
tho first man to Invent n typesetting
mnchlne. In his boyhood Timothy was
apprenticed to a printer. He was a
born Inventor, and nlmost from his
first day In the printing ofllce he be
gan to think of plans for Improving
the various processes connected with
the typographical art. He Invented
several machines connected with
printing before he turned his attention
to the mechanical setting of type.
After several yenr of study he pro
duced Ids first model of a typesetting
machine in 18-10. Tiffs machine con
sisted of a horizontal rotating wheel
with type cells on Its circumference
ranking receivers rotate with It to pick
out the type at the proper places. This
nppllanco was Ingenious, but It effect
ed no Improvement over hand compo
sition. Timothy Alden d(ed In Hoston
In 1858, and his brother, Henry, Inter
made several Improvements In the ma
chine. Timothy Alden's machine had
tle merit of setting, others to thinking
about the same problem, with the rc
Biilt that hand composition Is rapidly
becoming a thing of the past.

All About Eggs.
In a lien's egg only one-fifth of tho
substance Is nutritious. One-ninth Ig
refuse, and the greater portion, nbout
two-thirds, Is water.
Judged by the amount of nutriment,
u goose's egg Is the most valuable;
next In ordur are duck's, guinea fowl's,
lien's, turkey's.
Kggs contain n large quantity of
sulphur, which Is purifying to tho
blood and good for the complexion.
To get the best egg you must feed
your fowl on grain.
And to cook It In the most digestible
way you must not boll the water. Heat
the water to 180 degrees nnd leave
the egg In It for ten minutes. You will
then digest every morsel. Hut If you
boll It for three minutes no less than
one-twelfth of it will fall to bo di

THE CHIROPRACTORS
When tho back is sore and ten
der to tho touch, and even the ef
fort to stand straight, let alono
lift anything, causes nervous weakness, you have
a condition of tho spine that needs correction.
At times the condition may develop sharp lum
bago pains.
Tho cause is lack of alignment
of the joints of the backbone in
tho small of tho back. It may
havo become disordered by a
heavy lift or by careless habits of
sitting or standing. Along with
tho soreness the bowels are often
affected.
Tho only correction of value is
an adjustment by hand such as
only the skilled chiropractor can
give. When the nerve pressure
is replaced by strength and

Caso No. 21,
(Coryrlghl, 1919, Wt(rn Newtpnper Union) ,
Jerome Harris In the hour of his
grent success was but a disillusioned, i
disappointed mnn. Still young, and !
having won the golden key to favor, ho
drew back wearily before those doors
It might open.
During his years of struggle and
need none of these friends, who now
so eagerly strove to share his triumph,
had made an effort to stretch forth n
helping hand. Hven the girl whom he
hnd so deeply loved and who had pro
fessed to return his love hnd grown '
weary waiting anil had heartlessly .
Jilted him for an acknowledged man
of the business world.
Now that the dream of Jerome Har
ris was realized he smiled cynically nt
this same woman's proffered notes of
reconciliation his former love had be
come a widow, but her charm for him
had vanished before her Insincerity,
and all this superficial adulation now
wearied him. He longed to get away
from It, to get back" to u certain spot
which had often been his refuge.
To Harris 'this small place, with the
sea stretching out before, was home,
his one sure haven.
It was here that his great plcturo
was born the picture which had won
for him fame and fortune. Years ago,
when his heart was sore with Its dis
appointment, he had gone, after read
ing the announcement of the nio girl's
marriage, to the seclusion of this little
house, there to shut out from curious
eyes his deep hurt. And when at sun
down he sat upon the tiny porch a boat
had como drifting down a golden beam
toward lilin. And In the boat sat a very
young girl. Unbound, her golden hair
rippled over her shoulders, ind her up
raised face was glorified In tho light.
Harris called his great picture
"Maidenhood."
Impulsively he had called her as she
drifted by, and had run down to draw
her boat In to the shore. The girl, who
was perhaps fourteen or llfteen years
of age, acceded readily to his request
thnt she pose thus again for a picture.
"I'll make the arrangement with
your people," Harris suggested.
"I have no people," tho girl told him,
nnd as she went on with the strange
story of her own life ho knew whnt
had brought the shadow to her young
eyes. She hnd been washed to the
shore In n boat tossing upon a stormy
sea before she was old enough to re
member anything about It. A man and
woman found drowned later were
thought to have been her parents, but
she had never known. A fisherman find
lng tho child carried her to his wife
who had befriended her, until as the
girl grew nnd tho wife becnino an In
valid the charge was transferred. "
They called her "Dawn," the girl
told him blushlngly, becnuso It hnd
been at dawn that tho fisherman found
her.
And us days passed and Dawn came
to pose for tho artist ho learned more
and more of the hard Incongruity of a
young life which longed for grent
things and must bo satisfied with com
nion duties. Dawn's heart was full
(rf music and her mind yearned for
knowledge.
When upon his return Inter from the j
city Harris learned from his old house
keeper that Dawn's Invalid charge had
died he sent nt once for the girl and
bade her mako her homo In his house
on the shore, arranging passage for
her to and from a school In tho adjoin
ing village and finding her u music
teacher there. Then In tho absorbing
occupation of his city studio the artist
forgot about the little girl, who never
ceased to think of him with reverent
adoration.
Harris, long absent from the house
by the sea, sought It out again after
one of his trips abroad and learned
from the ild housekeeper that his
protege had secured a position as
teacher In a near-by village and left
word that he would hear from her later.
Tho artist smiled and frowned. "She
should have allowed me to complete
her education," he said. Then his
pleased eyes fell upon the Inviting fur
nlsjilng of his beloved old room.
"You keep the place up well," he
commended his housekeeper.
"That's Dawn," the woman replied;
"she comes out here nnd sees that
things Is all new an' convenient. 'Wo
must keep It homo for him, sho
says."
After that came to tho artist regu
larly small checks In tho name of the
village bank, with notes In n girlish
hand.
"Of course I can never repay what
you have done for me," wrote Dnwn,
"this Is Just to assure myself that I
would If I could."
And nt length, wearied by labor and
surfeited with flattering attentions,
came to Harris a longing wish for the
restful house by the shore. And when
he reached It at sundown, sailing again
across tho golden water toward him,
came tho girl who had mado his great
picture. Standing on the sands at her
sldo he told her so.
"You speak of repaying your 'debt
to me," said Harris. "My dear girl!
da you realize that It Is I who am In
debted to you? for my success, for
the very comfort of home, for n belief
In truth nnd goodness which had al
most forsaken me? Why, you have
given to me every good gift save hap
piness."
"And I wish I might give you that,"
said Dawn.
"I hope I believe that you will,"
Harris answered softly, and they
looked Into each other s eyes.
