She bad been lialng visits most of tbo afternoon, and on reaching homo nnd putting nwny lier wraps she dls covered that her cardcaso was miss ing. In It bad been n dollar or two, her cards nnd n certified check for $200, which she had Intended to de posit, but bad been too late for her bank. "Heavens," she exclaimed, "shall I over bco it again?" nnd sat down in her despair to think over everywhero sho had been and might have left it. Suddenly tbo telcphono bell rang. "Aro you Miss Hlnnk, nnd have you lost anything?" inquired tho person at the other end. "Yes; 1 have Just discovered tho loss of my cardcaso." "What was In it?" said tho voice. "My cards, some money, n certified check for $200, nnd, oh, yes! n llttlo prayer on a slip of paper. Did you see that?" "Yes," said the voice; 'I picked tho caso up. And Just let mo tell you that it wai that prayer that has brought your property back to you." Tho cardcaso owner henved n sigh of relief and thought how lucky it was for her that a Catholic friend had slipped tho llttlo printed prayer into her cardcaso last summer. PROBLEM FOR THE SCIENTIST How May the Energy cf the Gun, at Present Lately Wasted, Dc Util ize! to Advantage? Tho enormous energy which is con stantly poured out by tho sun Is al most past tho comprehension of tho lay mind. Measurements have shown that on a clear sunny day the sun transmitted to tbo earth energy which corres ponded to nbout 7,000-horscpowor per acre. At present nil that is practical ly wasted. Attempts have from time to time been made to utilize this enor mous supply of energy, but not with any great measuro of success. If peo ple only know how to harness it they could, at tho expense of lowering tho temperature of tho earth by a degree or so, obtain all tbo power necessary to perform tho work of tho world. Only nbout three-fifths of the energy sent to the earth from the sun is apprecinblo to tho eyo as light. If tho sun wore twico as hot as It is, four-fifths would bo appreciable in that way, and if it were still hotter tho whole of tbo en ergy would affect tho eyo as light. Radiant energy is not heat; -that is, tho energy of tho sun docs not reach tho earth in tho form of heat. It is not heat nt all until it falls on bodies whoso tempcraturo can bo raised. It might rather bo called electricity; in fact, it is a form of electricity, for all tho methods used to detect nnd mens uro radiant energy depend upon ab sorbing It nnd transforming it into heat. Loans of Honor. Tip never had a mlto of patience with tho fellow who looks with such reverence on a debt of honor. As a rule the debt of honor chap doesn't fret a bit about bilking his grocer. Dut an experiment with "loans of honor" put In tho right places has shown the averago person is honest. Several years ago public spirited men "got to gether" nt Lyons nnd formed what they called n Loan nnd Honor society. Tho purpose was to furnish money to clerks, laborers nnd apparently to nny poor and needy persons. No other se curity than tho borrower's word was asked, in 1910-11 money was lent to 384 Individuals. Sixty-eight of these were women. All but twenty-seven of tho borrowers were married. Sickness made 119 of tho loans necessary; loss of work, 83; previous debts, 84, and starting housekeeping, 27. Tho sums borrowed varied from $0 to $00. Dur ing its several years of existence tho society has lost only $200. Yes, tho nverago person Is not a thief. New York Press. "Solid Gold." Commercially speaking, tho term "solid gold" Is n misnomer, sinco such gold has not been used for many, many years. Some of tho nnclent Ha inan Jewelry nnd some of that of tho Renaissance period wns, indeed, mado of puro gold, worked up by hand with tho crudest of tools, but since tho old days thero has been n constantly in creasing employment of nlloys, for tho reason that Jewelers found that tho harder tho gold was rendered by good alloys tho grenter ita wearing quali ties nnd tho more secure, therefore, was the setting of tho gems it con tained. Nowadays jewelry is of 18, 14 or 10 carats, according to tho de sign and character of tho article, and it is much more frequently ten than eighteen carats. Youthful Musical Genius. Itennos, a sleepy nrlttany town, which is known in contemporary his tory chiefly because tho second Drey lus court-martial was belli there, haB recently discovered In Its midst a musical prodigy. A local professor vouches for this discovery. Young Reno Gulllou is aged seven. Ho Is not Duly a virtuoso on tho piano; ho Is al so a composer. Ho possesses enr to a remarkable degree, and distinguishes jvcry noto in symphonic music. Ac :ording to tho master, ho hears music nwnrdly. Ho composes for voices and Instruments without tnnking use of iny instrument whatever, writing Jown melody and accompaniment on 0 the paper. SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY Chiltil:! f.'i-ci, Grc,rg In Darkness, Is Cr-vmg for Information That In Drnlcd it. Kwr trace rf u.-cful information is carefully concvulod from tho very young child. A rattle, or at most a tubber doll, Is its only phi thing. An it glows older it Is very slowly and gradually Introduced to the various forms of tho animal kingdom. Of the mysteries of numbers and of lan guages It has as yet no conception. Its constant questions arc for tho most part answered "humorously" nnd hence Incorrectly, or they nro not answered nt all. This eternal "hu mor" is most galling or all. Why should a human infant bo such an ir resistible Joke? The lower animals take their young seriously nnd train them from the Btart with n very dell nlte purpose in view. Yet their pos sibilities are infinitesimal as com pared with those of tbo average baby. And wo tit calmly by nnd enjoy tbo "humor" of childhood nnd insist that tho child is enjoying itself also, even though its little bouI may be thirsting for information which Is laughingly denied It. And wo continue to put off tho inevitable day when the child will have to take life seriously and hence, nccording to our tradition, sadly. One Important point which Is quite p orloohcd by the upho'dus of tbo I ilnlpss child is tbo f-ict ih.it ncn f. "fo and pllliuoui are Jti t :n taxing to tho infant mind as useful informa tion would bo. It requires no mnre mental ell'ort to ronli.e that A Is A than to grasp tho extraordinary fact that a mass of brownish softness Is a "fuzzy Ittlo Teddy bear, yes It is." la fnct, the letter A has a distinct ad v.u. go. And nt u more ndvnnced ago It Is certainly less puzzling to be told th. t live nnd five make ten than to have one's own respectable pink toes described as n series of pigs go ing to market or entering into tbo va rious other activities of life.

At a quarter past eight tho other morning thero wns a terrific bomb ex plosion on the Place do Montrougc. Policemen rushed up, nnd found a young man of eighteen, Alfred Horvo, shrieking with pain, and rolling In agony on tho ground. Ills faco and hands were covered with blood and his clothes were burning. Two police men put tho flro out, put Hcrvo In a cab, and took him to tbo nearest hos pital. Tho other policemen found tho bomb. It had been mado of two metal soap boxes tied together, and filled with powder nnd nails. Hervo declared that be knew nothing about tho bomb. Ho waa on bis way to his work, eaw the thing lying on tho pavement, and kicked It off Into tho gutter. It broke open, nnd wondering what tho black stuff In It was, Hcrvo lit a match and bent down to find out. An explosion followed. Fashions Long Kept Up. The Drltlsh admiralty's annual or der for black silk handkerchiefs for tho navy, recently placed for 90,000, led to inquiry:, "why black?" It is said to bo as mourning for Nolson.'s death nt Trafalgar. Another instance of long-continued mourning Is shown In tho dark clothes officially worn by tho Anglo-Saxon race; at the decenso of tho duko of Gloucester, Queen Anno's heir-apparent, tho bar went into mourning nnd has novor doffed this, though tho Iapso of tho Stuart dynasty on tho British throno wns scarcely to bo regretted. Doubtless tho largest following of ono fashion by men was after Alexander Bet tho stylo of having tho face clean shaven; this was kept up by the Graeco-Homan world for llvo hundred Political Advertisement f ?.TCT taf -skssswUt k Atts cJp KICIIAUl) Li. Ml.TCAI.FK Dctnoerntie Candidate For Nomination For (loveinor of Nebraska l'rlniarlcs April lit, l)l'J How Shall Wc Manage Our State Institutions? All voters in'ei (".toil in tho welfaie of our. state hospitals, penitentiary, ie formntor.v institutions etc.. nio urged to take an active interest in the adopt ion of Amendment No. !! on tho ballot this year, entitled "A Proposed Amendment to the Constitution of Nebraska Creating a Hoard of Coniml'i sloneis for Statu Institutions" The adoption of this amendment will have thu effect of placing tho eontiol of these institutions, in the hands of a Hoard which will have for its object tho plaeitiof superintendents and em ployes in the institutions on the merit system. This will be in contradistinct ion to the method heretofore in vogue in Nebraska whero by the institutional positions have been looked upon as perquisites to bo dealt, out in the form of rewards for those who wore most active politically. In other states it has lone; been recognized that us near ly as posslblo these appointments should bo governed by merit and that nonpartisan control contributes to the etllcieney of management undrend"ors the conduct of such institutions more economical than where frequent chang es in administration aro made for poli tical or other leasotis. Amendment No. '.) as already pointed out offers 11 solution for this dillieiilty in Nebraska and bhould bavo tho vote and active support of every 0110 interested in the conduct of our state institutions.

Thin reme dy Is called Itexall Orderlies. Ke.xall Orderlies are eaten just like candy, are particularly prompt ami agreeable in action, may be taken at any time, day or night; do not cause diarrliooa, nausea, griping, excessive looseness, or other undesirable effects. They have a very mild but positive uctiou upon the organs with which they come in contact, apparently act ing as 11 regulative tonic upon the re laxed muscular coat of the bowel, thus overcoming weakness, and aiding to rest 010 the bowels to more vigorous and healthy activity.
