The biggest business men are
nothing more wonderful than the
best workmen who have been pro

is a genius, but any one may be a
good worker, which generally pays
better. _
J. Ogden Armour is quoted as ,
saying: "America is rapidly rising
to an unprecedented prosperity. It
will be boom-like, say, for three
years, and should not be affected
by a termination of the European
war within that time. America
has destined to lead the world com
mercially and financially in fifteen >
years. The war simply hastened ]
that manifest destiny. For an
American to fear the aftermath of
the war, appears to be baseless."
Andrew Carnegie announces that
of all his great fortune only about
20 millions—a mere pittance re
main. During the past fifteen 1
years the Ironmaster has disposed
of over 350 millions of dollars, 1
spending it where it could do the
most good. Had interest been <
computed on this vast sum it would '
have amounted to about 400 mil- £
lions. Mr. Carnegie has always
said that he wishes to die poor, be
lieving that a millionaire who fails c
to use the money intrusted to him c
has failed to leave the right kind of i £
a record behind him. He will (
probably be able to have a clean 1
slate when the time comes for him 1
to die, at least he is doing a first- t
rate job of spending. (

PREHISTORIC WORKS IN OHIO
In the State There Are Some Five
Thousand Remains of Ancient
Civilization.
On the banks of the Scioto, within
four miles of Columbus, on its north
boundary, stand two conspicuous ex
amples of the work of the prehistoric
peoples of that vicinity. One is on the
old Flenniken farm, on the east bank
of the river, and on the west side of
the river road, about a mile north of
the water pumping station and filtra
tion plant. The other Is on the west
side of the river, three miles farther
north, and is on the west side of the
road that skirts the west shore of the
river. It is on the Shram farm.
They are mounds of the same type
and of considerable size. They stand
on level planes, from which they rise
abruptly and symmetrically to a heigiit
of twenty or twenty-five feet. It must
appear to any observer, writes H. J.
Galbraith in the Columbus Dispatch,
that they are artificial and not natural
mounds. The owners of the proper
ties have long placed high values on
them and have not been disposed to
permit them to be opened. As a mat
ter of fact scientific archeologists are
not anxious to explore these mounds,
for, while they admire them as ex
amples of the work of the ancient in
habitants here, they know from expe
rience in exploring such earthworks
that it is extremely unlikely that they
would yield anything worth the time
and labor it would take to make the
explorations.
There are several less conspicuous
mounds in the county that Doctor
Mills, the curator of the museum at
Ohio State university, would prefer to
open, mounds that the general public
would lightly regard, if indeed they
would recognize them as the work of [
prehistoric peoples at all. There is a
mound of this kind on the Olentangy i
river near Worthington that is hardly
known at all to the general public that !
Doctor Mills has been watching for j
some time. “I know that mound would
yield a rich store of treasures,” said
he. "There isn’t any sort of doubt
about it, but I feel sure that anyone
who would explore the two Scioto
mounds would get little for his pains.”
Counting them all, big and little,
there are probably 150 earthworks of
these ancient people within the bor
ders of Franklin county, and five or
six thousand in the state of Ohio. No
other state in the Union is richer in
the evidences of a prehistoric civiliza
tion than the Buckeye state is.

THE GRUEL LOVE TEST
By MIRIAM LEE SANBORN.
“I don’t like your suggestion one
bit.” said Winnie dubiously, but Myr
tle was persistent in her plan. "It
might be the making of Elwyn to try
him out,’’ and then circumstances aid
ed the precious project, the heedless
Myrtle not reckoning the manner in
which it might affect the emotion of a
really worthy young man.
For such Elwyn Moss was, in man
ner and thought. Winnie had awak
ened a new soul in the reckless young
fellow, who had checked the "sowing
of wild oats” under the influence of
her helpful, sympathizing gentleness.
Twice during the next few days El
wyn sought and found an opportunity
to get Winnie alone, ready to tell her
his love. On both occasions, however,
she managed to flit away before the
avowal materialized. This discour
aged him. He felt repelled and hurt.
In the meantime, Ned Parsons was a
good deal in Winnie's company. Myr
tle, harmless but scheming, managed
it so that when Elwyn left the village
it was with the conviction that Winnie j
Thomas had taken up seriously with
Ned, and that she regarded himself
only as a friend.
More than this, an old chum in
formed Elwyn that he had it on pretty
good authority that Winnie and Ned
had become engaged.
A few days after Elwyn went back
to work in the city he wrote in his
diary: "Any true man who has been
under the sweet influence of the com- !
panionshlp of such a girl as Winnie, j
has an ideal to cherish, a guardian !
angel, the memory of whom will never
leave him. ‘'Tis better to have loved
and lost than never to have loved at
all.* ”
If he suffered disappointment, heart- j
break, he kept it to himself. He felt
strong in his ability to fight loneliness
and keep to the right course. Then a
new element entered his life. Ned,
too, came to work in the city.
Elwyn recalled the evident evasion
of Winnie to give him an opportunity
to tell her of his love. Their parting
had been simply that of friends. She
had given him no encouragement. Now
in his daily tasks and evening leisure
fate seemed to throw hirn in the way
of Ned.
The latter was “enjoying life to the
full," as he termed it. Little did his
friends at home imagine the drift his
follies were leading him into. Elwyn
saw and deplored.
For the sake of the one he might
wed. Elwyn felt he must do all he
could to win this reckless young man
from the path of waywardness. He
became his constant adviser. He was, '
in fact, his guardian.
Once at a great sacrifice of time
and money he got Ned out of a serious
gambling scrape, exposure of which ]
would have lost him his position. j ,
At another time he took blame upon ;
his own shoulders tn behalf of Ned. <
It led 'to his losing a month's salary
and an advance in business promo
tion. Day after day, however, Elwyn
watched, encouraged, reformed the ob
ject of his solicitude.
Reward came. It was with a thrill
of gladness that Elwyn realized that
he had not labored in vain, when Ned
said to him one day, grasping his hand
fervently, tears in her eyes:
"You have saved me, old boy. It all
came over me what a true, self-sacrb
ficing friend you have been. I felt it
my duty to straighten out with the
house here their misconception re
garding mistakes I made and not you.
I have written the folks home. I am
through with all the old folly and I
owe it all to you. Then there is the
dear little girl even the folks don’t
knew about—Flora Day. She’ll bless
you for your good work, and you 11 !
have to be the best man—’’
"Flora Day!” repeated Elwyn in be
wilderment.
“Why, yes, we have been secretly
engaged for six months."
Glad! He was suddenly roused to
emotions that swayed his soul in an
indefinable whirl. Ned read some hid
den mystery under his strange man
ner. He got the truth out of him.
"Thought I was favored by Win
nie?" he laughed. “Why, man, I’m a
hopeless scapegrace in her estimation!
i see it all—oh, you noble, noble fel
low! For Winnie's sake you tried to
make a better man of me, so I would
be worthy of her!”
Winnie cried like a child when
Myrtle read to her a letter written by
ber brother. She reproached herself,
she declared she was unworthy of the
brave hearted man whom she had put
to a cruel, crucial test.
“I shall never dare to face him
again,” she sobbed. “Oh, Myrtle, it
was wicked!”
“It was grand!’’ cried Myrtle. “Tell
your mother all about it, while I tell
mine of her boy, the new brother and
son we are going to have after this—
and all through Elwyn Moss!”
When Elwyn got off the train at his
borne town a week later, it was Myrtle
who met him at the depot. She told
aim the whole story.
There was somebody waiting for
lim, she said, and Elwyn knew who it
was.
“Forgive!" was the first fluttering
word that greeted him from Winnie s
ips.
“I have blessed you when I thought
rour heart had turned away from me,"
said Elwyn. How much more, now
hat 1 know you are all my own!”
