FAIR AND FORTY
By LILLIAN M. RICHARDS.
(. 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Down on n narrow struct. where the
newsboys nre shouting "extra" most
of the time, Myrn Wiggins sits nt the
cnshler's desk In ono of those fnmous
restaurants with n buckwheat front.
For three years now she .hns sat In
the same window. Her eyes and cars
are nlwnys open and nothing escapes
her notice.
"Say, mister," loudly called Myra
ono day to a customer trying to sneak
out, "pay your cbeck here, please."
"Huh," growled the man, coming
bnck, "think you're smart, don't you?"
And slamming the money down on the
counter, "I suppose you thought I was
trying to steal a feed."
"My goodness, no," replied Myrn,
smilingly. "Guess you were suddenly
called to a fire; but after this, when
In here, be sure and see me before you
leave."
"Well, Is that so," snccrlngly. "I
suppose you're the one who runs this
place, or maybe you "
Just then her nntngouizer felt n
strong hnnd grab his collar and dc
mnnd an npology. Without hesitating
the lrrltnnt murmured something about
being sorry, and slunk out of the door.
Myrn's well-rounded face became as
red as roses when she looked up Into
the set features of big Jim Rolnnd.
Jim was a traveling man. and every
time he enme to town It was not the
eats alone that brought him to this
well-known restaurant. Myra Wiggins'
welcome smile and pleasant "How do'
won him from the start. Now their
friendship grew rapidly Into something
more deep nnd lasting.
They were both around the ago of
forty and hnd come to that quiet tin
derstnndlng of accepting things as
they were; neither Inquired Into the
other's affairs.
A buxom widow was Myra, with one
child, whom she boarded at a small
farmhouse In the country. Little Irene
Wiggins was the Joy of her life, and
Myra delighted In her trips to the re
gion where she could breathe God's
pure air, awny from the smoke and
dust of the city. One day, as she nnd
Irene were starting for a stroll over
the hills, a rosy-cheeked lad of ten
begged to go with them.
"He lives here, loo. mamma," plead
ed her little girl. "He's my bestest
chum. Can't he go?"
"Well, nil right," replied Myra. good
nnturedly. nnd taking his hand she In
quired : "What's your name, little boy?'
"My name's Jack Roland," was his
sturdy reply, as he stumbled along by
her side.
"Roland!" gasped she. hearing the
name. Then, curiously, "And what's
your father's name? Jack, too?"
"No, my daddy's name is Jim," nnd
with upturned face, "you've never mot
my daddy, have you? He's the biggest
man In the world."
Myrn's thoughts were racing a milt
a minute, nnd her cheeks burned wltl
curiosity. "He must mean my Jim," sh
thought, nnd still it didn't seem pos
slble. The children ran ahead and
were sliding on the Ice. little dreaming
of the turmoil they'd created for Myrn
After a few minutes' silent pondering
she called them to her side and turned
back toward the houo. As they wen
chatting In their childish way sh
heard little Jack sny to Irene:
"My Nation's coming this afternoon
with daddy. She brings me candy nnd
everything."
Unable to restrain the question an
longer Myra nsked. "And who's you
Nnnnn, little hoy?" at the same tlm
dreading the answer.
"Why, that's his mother, of course.
quickly replied Irene, as If Myrn ought
to know.
"She works In the city," Joined Jnck
wlstfully.
It was with quiet dignity that sh
refused Jim's many Invitations th
next week, and his big, jovial face
wore a puzzled expression, althougl
he said nothing. Myrn. who was usu
ally the picture of health, looked
drawn and pale. She'd grown fond of
Jim Roland, and to discover him in
this light hurt not a little.
Tucking Irene on her sled. Slyni
started down the buck lane througl
the meadows. The cold, clear al
brought the color to Iter cheeks, as
Irene pulled the end of her scarf and
shouted, "Gltty-up-horsey." It was a
wonderful day and ended all too quick
ly. On their wny back, as Myra went
to Jump a brook she fell with a scream
In the snow. Irene tried to help her
up, but finding iter arms limp became
frightened and cri"d for help. Little
Jack Roland and his daddy, who wen
walking near by, came to their assist
ance. "Is this little girl yonr sister?" he
nsked smilingly after the pain hnd sub
sided. "No, Jim, she's my daughter," ex
plained Myra quietly. "I've been n
widow for several years now. And I
I thought until recently that you were
single also."
Why so I am," Iks replied emphnt
icnllv. "Little Jack's mother died
when he wns a baby."
"And and Nnnnn?" asked Myra
tremblingly.
"Nnnnn." with n relieved look.
"She's my sister, and has almost been
a mother to Jack, who knows her by
no other name."
Then, leaning closer and looking Into
her eyes, ho continued: "Myrn, 'dear,
he would so like to have n real mother.
The children already love tveh other.
Could could you ever can- enough
about a big clumsy like myself to"
"Oh, Jim, I'm so hnppy "
TERM'S ORIGIN IN DISPUTE
Many Explanations of the Letters "O.
K.," Have Been Made, but Few
Are Trustworthy.
Quite a cycle of legendary explnnn
Hons have gathered around the origin
of the popular term "0. K." It Is held
that In early colonial days the best
rum nut) tobacco wure imported from
Aux C'nyes, In San Domingo, notice
the best of anything came to be known
ocally as Aux Gayes, or "O. K."
Another exiianatlon refers to the
use of "Old Keokuk." on Indian chief.
who Is said to have signed treaties
with the Initials "O. K." However.
the term didn't come into general use
until the presidential campaign of
182S, when the supposed Illiteracy of
Andrew Jackson, the Democratic can
didate, led Seba Smith, the humorist,
writing under the mime of "Major
Jack Downing," to start the story that
Jackson Indorsed bis papers "0. K."
under the lnyirosslon that they formed
the Initials of "Oil Korrect."
James Pnrton. the noted biogra
pher, discovered In the records of the
Nashville court, of which Jackson
was Judge, numerous documents In
dorsed "O. R.." meaning "order re
scinded." He therefore urged that It
was a bclnted business that Major
Downing saw on the desk of the pres
idential candidate. The Democrats. In
lieu of denying the charge, adopted
the letters "O. K." as a sort of pnrty
cry nnd fastened them on their ban
ners. ONE OF THE OLDEST METALS
Abundant Proof That Iron Has Been
In Use Since the Very Earliest
Days.
Iron must have been familiar In the
time of Moses. A wedge made of Iron
wns left in the great pyramid by the
builders, which proves that the metal
was known and In use about l.fiOO B.
C. Besides, In the fourth chapter of
Genesis, It Is mentioned that Tubal
Cain was a pioneer In developing the
arts of Iron making nnd brass work
ing. Brass, however, was a very In
definite term nmong the natives. When
spoken of In the Scriptures it is sel
dom to be understood to signify the
alloy of copper and zinc now called
by that name. The "brass" tempered
for etlgcd tools or weapons of wur
was a bronze, usually a compound of
copper nnd tin.
Copper wns also known to mankind
at a very early period. Articles of cop
per were fount! 81 feet under tlto
statue of Barneses the Great, which
was erected .1,500 years ago. Debris
lias accumulated there to a depth of
nine feet, and the copper articles were
found, on further excavation, 72 feet
lower down.
Gretna Green.
Gretna Green, the rendezvous of
eloping couples, was once the liaunt
of persons who exerclsetl cupidity at
the expense of Cupid, and innkeepers
ferrymen and tollhouse tenders ex
plotted the couples who tied there
Any witnesses served to make the
marriages recognized as legal, but the
"professional witnesses" there, like
the "marrying parsons" of some Amer
ican towns, engaged "touts" to bring
couples to them, nnd when the rail
roatl from Glasgow to Carlisle started
running, the station platform at Gret
na Green thronged with these obnox
ious "commissioned men."
According to a popular legend
blacksmith shops were favorite nice
cos fdr eloping couples, but authority
Is lacking for stories of .smithies who
would pause while shoeing horses to
help legalize marriages.
Hatshopsu-Pharaoh.
Who antedated De Lesseps (18C9)
by 4,000 years In digging the Suez
canal? A woman. Ilntshopsu-Pha
raoli. She ascended the throne of
Egypt with her brother, Thothmes II,
about 1000 B. C. Her courage and ca
paclty brought the reins of govern'
ment into iter own hands. At the
death of Thothmes she wus the mas
ter spirit of the ago. The dominant
womnn built the splendid terraced
rock temple of Dair-el-Bahuri on the
Thebnn plain. Her chief glory wa
In sending an expedition to the Lnnd
of Punt (Ophlr) by wny of the Retl
ava. A woman dug tho first Suez
ennui, and as the expedition returned
up the Nile the shouts that greeted
the queen (who always wore the habil
Iment of the male) was the llrst "God
save the king" In history!
Too Much Self-indulgence.
The greatest weakness of human na
ture is self-indulgence, drifting along
tho path of least resistance with HI
health at the end of the roatl.
Good health Is. of course, the first
prerequisite to a long nnd useful life,
Longevity Is sought as a high price
of constant exercise of will power and
self-control There are many iwr
sons who hnve not that will power nnd
self-control. In these cases we cull
not go against nature by any amount
of teaching. Exchange.
