WISE USE OF GREAT WEALTH
Rich Man Who Expends Money with
Thoughts of Others Is to Be
Commended.
Bunyan has a telling picture of a
man who rakes together the sticks
and stones and rubbish, not once
looking up to behold the golden
crown above his head, proffered by
the hand of an angel. He is a type
of the man who devotes his life to
the accumulation of material things,
unmindful of the fact that he must
one day “slough the dross of earth,”
and that there is, beyond the grave,
no usufruct of his worldly estate.
The man of means who spends
his money with discrimination upon
works of art is to be commended as
unreservedly as the wealthy voluptu
ary is to be commiserated. He re
members that “the best thing any
mortal hath are those that every
mortal shares.” He does not merely
hoard his accumulated treasures of
art, but, as far as practicable, he al
lows those who really care about
such things as he has to see them.
The community has no more altru
istic benefactor than the man who
gives to the public for their perpet
ual enjoyment and inspiration such
a collection of pictures as that which
Charles L. Freer has recently given
the nation, to be housed in a build
ing specially erected at Washington.

WOMEN’S FEET GROWING!
Prof. Gieler of Munich, after ex
tensive study in Europe and Amer
ica, has come to the conclusion that
women’s feet are rapidly growing
larger. The time may come, he
says, when in the matter of feet
there will be little difference between
the two 6exes. He has made careful
measurements of the proportions of
feet on ancient statues, and has com
pared these measurements with the
feet of modern women, always to the
advantage of the latter. He at
tributes the change to the growing
taste for walking, athletics and other
outdoor exercises. Frenchwomen’s
feet are increasing in size at a rapid
rate.
"BULLS" FROM THE BENCH.
Some excellent bulls are credited
to William Arolin, who was a Lon
don police judge in the ’30s of the
last century. He once remarked to
counsel: “If you can show precisely
at what moment the offense was
committed and prove that the pris
oner was not there when he did it he
could not possibly have done it.”
And he sagely added: “We cannot
divest ourselves of common sense in
a court of justice.” Of a similar
character was an axiom he once de
livered himself of, which has been
maliciously fathered on many other
occupants of the bench: “If ever
there was a case of clearer evidence
than this case, this case is that case.”
THREE OBSTACLES.

"I’d marry you, but for three things.”
He—What are they?
She—My father don’t like you, my
mother don't, and I don’t.
“TAFFY” IS NO MORE.
“Taffy,” the big Englishman who
played so lovable a part in George
Du Ifaurier’s novel “Trilby,” died
the other day at his home in Eng
land. His name was Joseph Row
ley, and he was a magistrate in
Flintshire. In his student days in
Paris, where he was a contemporary
of Du Maurier and Whistler, he was
noted for his size and athletic
prowess.

of patrons and friends were present
thus giving evidence of their
interest in our work. Our hearts
swell with gratitude and good will
toward these friends and it makes
us go forward with new zeal and
determination. The pupils entered
to the time of a pretty violin march
skillfully played by Wade Jefferies.
Each responded with a reason why
musicians succeed.

themselves creditably in this their

of Christian music’' was thoroughly
enjoyed. A number of solos were
given, each performer receiving
merited applause.

director. Miss Ruby Hargis receiv
ed the reward card, also a prize for
having practiced the greatest num
ber of hours. The next meetiug will
