Two co-eds in a West Virginia
college caught two burglars who
were ransacking their room, beat
t1 em up until they yelled for mercy,
blinded them with a fusillade of
face powder and then threw them
out of the window. There is sound
value Ij a college education which
brings such results.—Exchange.

No Longer a "Corn Belt."
The "com belt" used to be a strip of
country running generally from Penn
sylvania to Kansas, and including Ohio,
Indiana. Illinois, Missouri and the
&>r. thorn half of Iowa.
l'.ut the fushlun in belts is changing,
as all fashions are liable to do. The
corn belt is spreading itself out. It
goes further east and further west, and
most emphatically It is moving to tho
north and south. Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and even the Dakotas and
Montana are now In the corn belt. The
southern states are knocking at the
door. Georgia, Alabama and the Caro
llnas are showing that a hundred bush
els to the aero Is nothing to them.
The corn bolt in the futuro will ex
tend from Canada to the Gulf of Mex
ico, and It will reach to tho Rocky
mountains, If not beyond. It is no
longer a belt, but a section, comprising
almost the entire arable portion of the
United States, and may even include
the deserts and the mountains to a
limited extent—Farm Life.
Age of Granite.
It used to be thought that granite
was the oldest of all rocks and that it
formed the globe's Brst crust Now,
however, geologists believe that gran
ite may be of any age or epoch. Tho
granites found in Germany and the
Yosges mountains of France date from
one period of the world's history, those
found In the Itrltlsh Isles from an en
tirely different period and those found
In the United States from still other
periods. Enormous pressure, combin
ed with heat and wnter, must have
been necessary to produce granite.
Some scientists declare that the gran
ites In the highlands of Scotland must
have been formed when (50,000 feet of
overlying rocks were piled above them
and that those Of Cornwall required
40,000 feet of rock pressure. In other
localities It Is estimated that the pres
sures under which granite consolidated
must have been equal to that of an
overlying mass of rock nine miles In
thickness.—New York American.
Investment and Speculation.
When any one Is buying a coat or a
fishing rod or a rose tree or laying
down a cellar or setting up a library
either he knows what he wants, where
to get it and what to pay for it or .else
he takes earnest counsel with his
friends and with the most trustworthy
professional advisers thnt he can find
and uses all the wits that he and oth
ers can bring to bear on the subject in
order to make sure that his purchase
Is prudently conducted. lie attends
sales, rummages In shops and dis
cusses the matter In his club until he
and It are voted a nuisance. If only
half as much time and trouble were
devoted to the careful selection of In
vestments there would be fewer bad
companies, unscrupulous promoters
and ornamental directors, the world
would be very much richer, and its
riches would show less tendency to
gravitate Into questionable hands.—

A Curious Wish.
I want to l>e sick! I want to He In

nursed. So Tar III my life I have had
but one disease—health. It sticks out
all over me. It runs swiftly through
me. It yanks me up in the morning.
It tucks me up In bed at night and
shoves me off Into unexcited sleep not
even to dream. It stands by my chair
at meals and gives me aa appetite for
just the right food lu Just the right
quantities.

The Other Way Round.
Mrs. Soursplte—When I gave you
that so'.emn warning against marrying
I said that some day you would regret
It. That time will come, mark my
words!
Mrs. Newed—The time has come.
Mrs. Sourspite (gleefully)—I thought
so. Then you regret your marriage?
Mrs. Newed—Oh, no! I regret tho
warning you gave me. It kept me
from marrying for nearly a year.—
