He is more concerned with uRimate values than with mere cheapness of price. It is to this type of person among motorists that the Paige car most appeals. We, of the Paige Company, have always taken the view that unless a car has the qualities essential to comfort, lasting satisfec tion and pride of ownership, it would be dear at any price. So we built the Paige Glenbrook according to our ideas of what a real motor car should be a car which would be not only a reliable vehicle of transportation but also a car of beauty, comfort and power.

Jews of the fifteenth century nnd trading posts In northwest Africa nnd carried on a vast commerce with tho natives from tho Sahara to tho Atlan tic, and from Algeria to the Niger, ac cording to letters recently discovered by Charles de Ia Uonclere, librarian of the national library In France, and published by the National Geographic society. Hitherto Africa has not fig ured at all In medieval history. It was called the "Dark continent" when Stanley and Livingstone penetrated it about a ceiitury ago. The letters recently discovered were written In 1147 by Antonln Mnlfante, a Genoese citizen, believed to be the only Chrlstinn the Jews allowed to penetrate their trade region. They were written from Timbuktu and Touat. Timbuktu was the Chicago of the West African plains, and Touat the center of cauicl caravan traffic that exchanged the wheat and barley of Egypt for the powdered gold of Timbuktu nnd the precious snlt from Teghnzza. Touat was an oasis con taining from it0 to 200 villages, and each village bad a chief. Tlie civilization of Unit date was advanced enough for the residents to take a census of their populations. This was done when the people of Timbuktu and a rival city, Gno, were numbered to" decide a wager. Busi ness was done on a Inrge scale. Primitive Summons. New York university has come Into possession of an original photograph of the first Janitor of that Institution, equipped with tho gong and stick with which he called the students to classes. When the university wns founded, Jan uary 8, 1830, and students met In the original building b.-lck of tho city hall, thero was, of course, no electric bell ringing system. The responsibility of attendance nt recitation wns shunted on tho Janitor.

The last arctic "sea cow" was seen In 185-1 about a century after tho first discovery of the species by white men. When full grown the creature weighed as much as 8,000 pounds. ' These animals frequented shallows at the mouths of rivers In herds, nnd while feeding they drove before them their young, to protect tho latter from danger. So tame were they thnt one could stroke their backs without ob jection on their part. Unfortunately their flesh was good to eat, resembling beef. Whalers got In the way of depending on them for stores of fresh meat, and so In the natural course of events they were wiped out. Small Boy In Hard Luck. While dairies was sick and out of school his teacher and the pupils of his room were moved to a room across the hall from the ono formerly occu pied. On his return to school Charles went back to his old room. The teacher In charge noticed the little fellow standing by her table looking most forlorn, so she asked him what ho wanted, lie glanced up at her, then looked at tho roomful of strnngo boys and girls, and said with a pathetic quaver In his voice, "I've been sick, and now I can't find anybody hero" that belongs to me I" ::o: Notice.
