TRIED TO BE NICE
A Young f ecru Its Rapid Riso to Title But Fannie Made an Awful Mess of It
rio Power
One dav u young recruit was stand
ing guard before the door of the en
trance to Peter the Greats private
chambers in the palace of St Peters
burg He had received orders to ad
mit no one
As he was passing slowly up and
down before the door Prince
31 koff the favorite minister of the czar
approached and attempted to enter
He was slopped by the recruit
The prince who had the fullest lib
erty of calling upon his master at any
time sought to push the guard and
pass him Yet the young man would
not move but ordered his highness
to stand back
You idiot shouted the prince
Dont you know meV Youll be pun
ished for this
The recruit smiled and said
ery well your highness but mi
orders are peremptory to let nobcdy
pass
The prince exasperated at the fel
lows impudence struck him a blow
in the face with his riding whip
Strike away your highness said
the soldier but 1 cannot let vou go
in
Peter in the room hearing the noise
outside opened the door and inquired
what it uieaut and the prince toiI
him
The czar appeared amused but said
nothing at the time
In the evening however he sent for
the prince and the soldier As they
both appeared Peter gave his own
cane to the soldier saying
That man struck you in the morn
ing Now you must return the blow to
that fellow with my stick
The prince was amazed Your maj
esty he said this common soldier
is to strike me
I make him a captain said Peter
With the Old Lady
When Fannie Is bent upon pleasing
sighed Dannies younger sister she
cau certainly make a horrible mess of
things Last Sundny Charlie Evans
having nrrived at the point where he
felt he wanted his familys opinion of
me Invited us both up to take tea
with his mother The minute i laid
eyes on his mother I knew Fannie
would get in trouble she simply cant
help getting uervously foolish when
theres a religious person around
Charlies mother kissed us and ad
dressing herself to Fannie as the elder
said something about our being very
sweet to come and see a daughterless
old woman Whereat Fannie looked
at Charlie and his two brothers and
replied feelingly that It must be a ter
rible disappointment to have only
them Mrs Evans to rectify my sis
ters misapprehension told us proudly
that she had three more sons not pres
ent
By this time Fannie realized that
she had made a bad beginning and
leaped further in with the supposition
that the other three were off having a
good time instead of moping at home
The older lady drew herself up and
said severely
My three sons are in heaven Miss
Barnes
Oh how awful came Fannies
ready gasp
No not awful at all and Mrs
Evans was positively glaring at us I
feel that they were specially blessed
in being allowed to pass thus early to
their Lord They died as little chil
dren
Dear me how glad you must have
been blurted out flustered Fannie j
By this time 1 had kicked a hole in
her ankle and that quieted her for
awhile She might have kept still for
the rest of the evening had not her pet
But Im an officer of your majes 1 suhjeet the higher education of wo

tys objected the nrinee
I make him a colonel of my life
guards and an officer of the house
hold said Peter again
My rank your majesty knows is
that of general again protested Meu
schikoff
Then I make him a general so that
the beating you get may come from a
man of your rank
The prince got a sound thrashing In
the presence of the czar and the re
cruit who was next day commissioned
a general with a title was the founder
of a powerful family whose descend
ants are still high in the imperial serv
ice of Russia

Charles Goodyear is not the ouly in

Goodyears efforts to introduce the
upo of vulcanized rubber were no more
tragic lhfii the stories of a dozen other
inventors There was a man named
Simpson in Missouri who discovered
that giitta percha was a nonconductor
of electricity lie borrowed money of
one Amos Kendall to make his appli
cation for a patent It was rcjerted
over and over rich companies fighting
his claim But he had sand he
never weakened It was just after
the civil war that he made his last
fight He had no money not a dollar
but he started from St Louis foi
Washington afoot
Tic would not beg but made his way
half across the continent by sawing
wocd hoeing corn or doiug any work
that came to hand In one place he
robbed a scarecrow of a pair of pant
and a hat leaving his own more rag
I ced garments in their place In Pitts
burg he had to work as a truck driver
till ho could earn enough to repair his
shoes and take him on his way And
nil the time he believed stubbornly in
himself and in his invention nis own
words vcr
When I came over the tops of the
Allegheufcs I saw the sun rising -and
I knelt down and thanked God for my
life and asked him to let me get my
patent He promised me on the spot
and I never had a moments doubt
after that
Arrivintr in Washington he got ja
livimr as a dav laborer on the stone
foundation f the patent office and
frm that vantage grourd he foiierht

THE
WORD ALPHABET
It Comes Through the Greeks and He
brews From Phoenicia
When we speak of our A B Cs as
our alphabet we are using a word
hoary with age that as far back as
we can trace it came from the eastern
shore of the Mediterranean Fea thou
sands of years before the Hebrews
went up there and took possession of j
the land of Canaan Back of the
pie who occupied that land before thej
events of Exodus were written we are
not able to trace the word for we
have not sufficient knowledge of them
or of their etymological history before
we find them in Canaan
It has been only withiir recent years
that we have been able to know that
the word alphabet came to us from
the Phoenicians Before that we sup
posed that it came to us from the He
brews thruh the Greek As we say
A B C the Greeks say alpha beta
the first two letters of their alphabet
which when it reached us became al
phabet This we supposed had come
to the Greeks from the Hebrews who
called their firct two letters alph and
beth but since then we have found
that both the Greeks and the Hebrews
got the word alphabet from the same
source which was the Phoenicians
The people of Phoenicia had the
same letters alph and beth which
have suffered but litte vhange in
sound down to our A and B Alph
meant simply an ox the sign of it
being a conventional os head with
the lower part of the face turned
slightly to its right and beth meant a
house which was pictured by the rude
outline of a primitive dwelling which
had a superfluous Hue added to dis
tinguish it from other characters very
like it as we place a tail on a Q to
distinguish it from an O So the first
two letters of our A B Cs were orig
inally an ox and a house and gave
the name of all of the twenty six let
ters which we call our alphabet

Kissing the Book
Kissing the book is a rather late
development of the mere touching of
the gospels with the fingers which
dates from the sixth century It Is
likely that the kiss was originally in

the oath but to signify reverence and
affection fcr the book The kiss ap
pears to have come into fashion to
ward the end of the sixteenth century
and would seem from what George
Fox says of it to have been a Protes

the uureformed method was simply to
