hate to be an oxceptlon in the case
of women for obvious roaaoua.
Ouco in a while something happens
in this oflico which wo cannot account
for and usual y boforu wo have (lono
wondorlng how it was something olso
ha happened which Is Just as mystor-
louH. Tho othor day wo wroto down a
notice of an Aid Socloty meeting and
placed it on tho copy hook. That no
tic nevor appoared in tho paper. Wo
never did find out whero it wont nnd
to this day wo do not know, Probably
the ludios of tho Aid think wo dollb
crately dltchod tho notice for somo
reason but if wo had had a chance wo
-would have assured thorn that wo
needtd t' c '"."o to fllll up a Bpnco
which looked vacant without it.
Things movo so fast that wo cannot
atop to explain everything wo do to
overyono concornod and ho wo Just
have to go ahead nnd try to do boU
t r the Hoxt time.
artv linnilR and whoiiovor we mako out
a ohock It goos right to the bank and
they find out about it.
Then ngaln Kd, you must except
policemen for they must know what
wo drink and what wo do with our
dice and cards. Proachors must know
what people do on Sunday or tiioy'
would bollovo all tho excuses they got
'" not boing at church.
Then again Kd, you would have to
oxcopt toachors for thoy must know
about tholr children or thoy would
bellovo things which do not hnppou.
And also parents for tho same reason
as teachors and othor things.
Then again Ed, you would have to
oxcopt wives for thoy must Know
whero tholr husbands are at night
only probably It is tholr business in
somo casos and most of then are wo
men which nro oxcoptod above.
Then ngaln Ed, especially editors
would havo to bo oxcoptod as thoy
could not write newspapers if (hoy
did not know ovorybody's buslncsH
ond also doctors and also nolghbors.
Ed wo almost forgot nolghbors and
wo inuHt Unow what our nolghbora

So Ed slnco wo didn't hoar from

How Mrs. Monroe Was Instrumental
An Saving the Life of Madame
Lafayette,
An Intcri'xtliiK sidelight on history
lies In the ini',v of how tho wlfo of

tho life of Mtiiliiiuc I.afayotte at tho
tlmo Monroe wan American ambassa
dor to PYHtiw. Lafayette hlnu-elf wan
In prison In (.leniiiiny, and kept In a
foul dungeon. .Mine, Lafayette hnd
been noHu'd by the UevulutlonlstH, nnd
wus confined in the prison of Lu Force,
and a date hud boon set for her execu
tion. Tb Monroes were very much
alive Hi the great debt America owed
fho vumj aristocrat, and Mrs. Monroo
(letfi-iitinud to Jo what she could.
Slio ordered thu state coach of tho
embassy.1 With Its llurlng coat or arms',
to deliver hor to the doors of tho
prliou or La Force, and onco thore,
calmly nujnested nn Interview with the
unfortunate prisoner. An Interview
wllh a person sentenced to the knlfo
was unheard of, but the dawning
power of the United State was such
that Hie lllehils dared not refuse the
request of the ambassador's wife. A
few words were exchanged between
tho womon, and Mrs. Monroe drove
away. Tho noxt morning she was
liberated, tho French Itevolutlonlsts
fearing to execute Iter, and desiring
thus to secure tho friendly uttcntlon
of the new nation. It was a daring
tiling to do, for the results might havo
been disastrous and all sorts of In
teruutlomtl complications might have

Oysters Have Many Enemies.
Between tho planting and tho har

years, the oyster culturlst assumes
many hazards. On tho New England
coast, after all his matorlal Is down,

slbly because at the critical tlmo somo
weather disturbance may havo killed
tho baby oysters while they wcro yet

oysters to grow, and many die, wblla

WATER "CURES" OLD BELIEF
In Both Ancient and Modern Days
Fountains Have Been Considered
Pools of Healing.
When you drink mineral water do
you Jo It- because you believe In Its
curatlva properties or because you are
tuperstitlous? Or both?
Extraordinary virtue bus been at
tributed to the waters of pools and
streams by nearly nil peoples of all
times. Among the modern O reeks to
day we find the remnants of the old
belief that the water from the Orotto
of Mnccdonln would cure all those
who (liiuil: ir they entered the cave
with a lamp or torch In one limul and
a pitcher In the other, filled the pitch
er nnd left some scrap of clothing be
hind, going silently and not turning
back from "being scared by the noises
that ensued." And not only lu Greece,
but In Unglund, there are many spots
where .the bushes around n certain
pbp'l will bo hung thick with shreds of
clothing left by thoe wjio caiue to ho
cttrco.
According to modern Greeks the
mlnernl springs are under the protec
tion of the Nereids, and the virtue of
the water depends upon It being drunk
In. silence nnd with appropriate sacri
fice. Old Chinch of England canons
dating back, to HOii forbid the wor
ship of wells without the bishop's per
anlssfon, attributing the custom to
heathenlshness and a survival of the
worship of the fountain as n symbol
of, the source of life. It was pointed
out then that the naming of wells was
as old as the days of the Patriarchs;
that Abraham nnd Isaac arc both
spoken of In the IMble as luivlna done
so, but tjhut worshipping them jvuh a
different matter.
