li 1 SILK HAT HARRY'S DIVORCE SUIT The Crosses We Build and How Our Nobler Selves Are Born i By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. Pausing a moment ere the day was done While yet the earth was scintlllant With light. I backward glanced, from valley, plain and height. At intervals wehere my life-path had run, Rose cross on cross; and nailed upon each one , , . . . Was my dead seif. And yet that grue some sight Lent sudden splendor to the falling night, Showing the conquests that my soul had . won. ' Up to the rising stars I looked and cried, There Is no death! For year on year, re born I wake to larger life; to joy more great. So many times have I been crucified, So often seen the resurrection morn, I go trimphant. though new Calvartes wait. Every man, every woman, who has made use of life, and grown in nobility of, character with the years, has been many times crucified; many times nailed to the cross of his own creation, and many times has known the Joy of resurrection. Little Bobbie's Ta' By WC LIM F. KIRK. Ta was awful good last nite. He showed sum ladies & gentlemen the evils of gambling. I guess thare wont be any moar card gaims in our house. r The way It was was this way: Pa was jest putting on his sllpers & his bathrobe after dinner wen Ma sed Husband, we are going to have cumpany aggenn tonlte. Ageea tonlte? sed Pa... Yes., sed Ma, aggenn tonlte. Oh. well, ted Pa, oh, well. Pa sighed & looked kind of sad. What are you sighing about? sed Ma. These is perfeckly luvly peepul, Mister & Missus Llnd & two of Missus Llnd's gurl trends. They are cumming up to play poker. To play what? sed Pa. To play poker, sed Ma. Have you anny objeckshuns? It la only going to be a llttel galm that Missus Llnd has Invented, she calls it the mill galm. Eech of us is to talk one hundred cents worth of chips, but wa only pay one tenth for. the chips," ten cents. One tenth of a cent is a mill, bed Ma, doant yotf understand? Then Pa sighed sum moar. Tcs, I un derstand,, he sed. Wan does the or-gy beegin? Jest, wen Pa was talking thare calm a knock at the door & in calm Mister & Missus Lind & her two gurl frends. Missus Llnd & the gurls was pritty, but Mister Llnd was awful llttel alongside of Pa, he looked kind of scared. All of them started asking rite away wen the galm was going to begin, & Pa sed to me. Bobble, I want you to sit nea my chair this eevning & watch this gaim they call the "mill gaim." Watch my hands, sed Pa, A notls the way I play them. You are growing up, Pa ted, & sum day you will be a man. I doant want to ewer think that my son will bee cum a poor poker player. All the munny I maik. Pa sed, I am going to put in yure llttel pig bank. & then the galm beegan. There was only one good player in the gaim, that was Pa. He worked harder than the rest, beekaus he had to work harder. He had one pack of cards on the table to talk care of, & a other pack beehlnd his coat tails on the chair, & a other pack on his knee, I saw It all the time. Onst in a while Pa wud not stay in the pot, they called it the pot, & every time he wasent in the pot he was all the time fixing up the deck on his knee or the deck beehlnd his coat tails. I knew It was kind of coarse work, eeven if I am only a llttel boy, but thay all cuddent see it, &. after the gaim was neerly oaver Pa had most of the chips. The ladles was all git ting kinri of mad at Pa & at each other, & Ma got the maddest of all, bee kaus every time Pa dealed the cards she wud have a good hand & Pa wud have a better one. Wen the game was oaver nobody sed a word excep Pa. He took his nine piles of chips, a dollar a pile, & sed to the banker: Here, Miss Polly, cash these In It is Just nine hundred mills. So the lady gaiv Pa ninety cents & I put it In my big bank, but If Pa ewer needs any part of It he can have it, bee kaus be la a good fellow. Pointed Paragraphs.

Until even this self comes forth only to be again crucified, and agan resurrected, and finer self. and again buried, to a still higher Whatever you are suffering today, whatever despair, disappointment, think of it as a crucifixion of some lesser and baser part of your multiple, self, which is to be followed by a resurrection of the real self; the real you: strong, and wise, and brave, and made more useful and uni versal by this experience. And just In proportion to your accept ance of this truth, which life is endeavor ing to teach you, will be lessening o your crucifixions. ( Once the lesson is perfectly learned, the teacher does not ask its continual repeti tion. When the Illumination comes and your old self is dying upon the cross, you will lift your eyes and say, "It is fin ished," and then the spiritual you will be bomt to live evermore in the light of knowledge of power and love.Mopyrlght, 1912, by American-journal-Examlner.

In the death of Haroun Al Randild 1.003 years ago today June T, K-th world lost one of the finest intellectual ornaments and one of the sturdiest moral forces It had ever poosesed. If Intelli gence, fraternity and justice are the foundations of true civilisation, then Uarotm Al Raschld deserves to stand for all time among the greatest of civil isors. Ills court at Bag dad was the center from which radiated knowledge, charity and fnlr play; and the Christian world of today little realises how much It owes to the noble old "heathen" who dwelt In such magnifi cence on the banks of the Tigris. Wonderful In a far more useful way than he Is depicted In the "Arabian Nights" was Haroun Al Rachld. In a time of intense bigotry and crueltry he was tolerant and merciful. In an age of deepest Ignorance and the most stupid Indifference to every form of Intellectual enlightenment, he was deeply Interested In learning, and used every energy at his command for the el initiation of the super- Nell Brinkley yip 11 The Bee by Tad Haschid B. GREGORY. etltlon that degrades and finally destroy the powers of the mind. While Christian Europe lay in the shadow of Its aemmlngfy emmedlceble Ignorance, Bagdad and the ether centers of Mohammedanism were cultivating the sciences out of which were to come the world's mental resurrection. While the Christian teachera were as serting the flatnesa of the earth, the Mo hammedan pedagogues of Bagdad and Cordova, Seville and Alexandria, were teaching geography in the common schools from globes. And while in Iiondon and Paris they were practising the old theological medi cine and professing to cure men's Ills through the agency of charms and trlnk lets, In the great Messopotarhlan capital they were treating the sick upon the principals of science and common sense. So great was the fame and efficiency of Al Raschlld'e medical school at Bag dad that the great and mighty Charle magne prohibited any person from prac tising any medicine without a satisfac tory examination before its faculty. Un der Joshua ben Nun the University of Bagdad actively promoted the translation of Greek works Into Arabic, and It Is said that almost every day camels laden with volumes of Greek manuscript wert entering the gates of Al Rasohid's city ' Speaking of Charlemagne, truth com pels us to say that as between the Bag dad Callif and the greatest of Europeai kings tho former was much the flnet man. At the time that Charlemagne was using fire and sword against all who would not accept the theological beliefs he had sworn to defend Haroun Al Raschld was protecting Charle magne's subjects In the full exercise of their religion. Despite the rancor of his great theological enemy, Al Raschld did him the courtesy to send him the keys of the Savior's sepulcher simply because he knew that Charlemagne desired the possession of them. It is very pleasant to think of tho grand old man of Bagdad; though it la anything but pleasant to recall the fact that what he did for the human ad vance Is, even to this day, but Imper fectly acknowledged by the Christian world. Of course, Haroun Al Raschld was a polygamlst, but that was a part of his religion. Polygamy was not a part of Charlemagne's religion, and yet the greatest of Christian kings had nine wives and a great many sweethearts. f ' LIFE WASTE IN CHICAGO J Chicago has the equivalent of the Titanic disaster every month, says iht weekly bulletin of the department of health. More than 1,400 preventable deaths art) marked against Chicago for every month ' of the year, according to the bulletin. Both death lists are declared a needless waste of life by the health authorities In a plea for greater protection againat the ravages of curable diseases. "Governments of the world will prob ably enact sweeping legislation for tha safeguarding of life upon the high seas," asserts the bulletin. "This action s needed. Lives must not be needlessly sacrificed on the seaa. But what about the 1,400 people who just as needlessly lose their lives in Chicago every month. ' It is so common to hear of the thousands of deaths from tuberculosis, pneumonia, typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet fever and other preventable diseases that people fall to realise the enormity of life wasto on the land." According to a diagram map prepared by the health department, there were 32. 572 deaths from all causes In Chicago during 1911. Of this number. 13,500, or 40 per cent of the deaths were caused by preventable diseases. Health authorities assert that of tha fifteen cases of smallpox now under care at the Isolation hospital, all are thero because of neglect of vaccination. Ten of the cases are children under 7 years of age and the health bureau charges their parents with criminal negligence -for failure to have them vaccinated. The department also warns all ChJ- , cagoans that they must combat sickness . and disease with cleanliness. The bulletin says: "If you are still maintaining dirty premises we give you just one week of : grace to clean up. Then look out!" . Chicago Record-Herald. To Cat Angel Cake.
