Page Two ‘ . \ When Sabbath Was Day of Rigid Observance In Connecticut, perhaps more than anywhere else, Sunday was a sort of. popular idol, nor did the rigor of Its observance abate perceptibly until long after the Revolution. This extreme scrupulosity about Sabbath keeping was doubtless the moving cause of the building of the 4 ‘Sabbath-day houses”; these were lit tle shanties standing on the meeting house green, each intended to accom modate a family during the interval between the two services. Some Sabbath-day houses were built with a stall at one end to shelter the horse, while the family took refuge In the other, where there was a chimney and a meager furniture of rude seats and a table. Here on arrival before the first serv ice the owners lighted a fire and de posited their luncheon, and to this camplike place they came back to eat their doughnuts and thaw themselves out after their first long sitting in the Arctic climate of the meeting house. Sometimes two families had a Sab bath-day house together. But some parishes In Massachusetts, and perhaps elsewhere, had a common “noon house” for all comers to rest in. Fireside assemblages on Sunday, whether in the parsonage or the noon house, were In danger of proving de lightful to those who were prone to enjoy the society of other human be ings, and hence the pastors “were put upon their best contrivances” to have most of the interval between the serv ices filled up with the reading aloud of edifying books and other exercises calculated to keep the mind in a be comingly irksome frame. —Philadel- phia Inquirer. Wood Is Favored Diet of Tropical Insects Logs, eight feet long, form the menu of a family of grubs which recently reached the Zoological gardens, Lon don, from Trinidad. N They are the larvae of the Harle quin beetle, a gayly-hued Insect four inches long. The colony brought their first issue of rations with them, and the log was so heavy that it needed two keepers to shift it. A pail full of sawdust in the crate provided ample evidence that the grubs had been busy during the voyage. A large number of logs will prob ably be required for their diet, for It is estimated that it will be fully three years before the caterpillars become pupa prior to taking part in the final “Harlequinade” as adult beetles. The grubs are being kept in a green house having a temperature of about 100 degrees F. in the shade, and one can hear the tap of their horny heads as they strip away the tissues of the timber. Trinidad may well be pleased to be rid of them! Realizing His Profits He walked into a brokerage office • several months ago, deposited SIO,OOO i and bought some stocks on the firm’s j advice. No one saw him until lately | when he walked in again and asked Slow much profit he had. “Twenty thousand dollars, or there abouts,” replied one of the partners, I after the account had been checked - up. ; “Sell my stocks and give me my prof- ■ its In cash,” the customer directed, j after a few minutes. j As soon as the orders could be exe- | cuted and a messenger returned from ! the bank, the partner counted out to ; him twenty one-thousand-dollar notes j and some odd bills and change. He \ stuffed the money in his wallet and sat j down. Then, after he had enjoyed for < half an hour the sensation of carrying | his profits in his clothes, he pulled out j the money, handed It back to the part- j ner, and said: j “Buy all those stocks back again !** ; —Wall Street Journal. Growth of Law Library A law library which would have j been complete, with all of the volumes ; of American decisions and all of the ; volumes of American statutes, has re- i cently been calculated to have con- ; tained one hundred years ago about ; 180 volumes of decisions and 00 vol- i umes of statutes, says the Nation’s i Business magazine. Today, it is said, j a library which would be complete in j the same sense would contain 18,500 j volumes of decisions and 5,500 volumes < of statutes. One hundred years In the j future, if the increase during the last I century is maintained, such a library ; would have to contain 1,850,000 vol- ; umes of decisions and 550,000 volumes of statutes. Utilize Volcano Heat Returned goldseekers report the dis covery of a steam-heated valley In northern British Columbia where lush vegetation imitates the tropics. Their story must be credited, for the gold scouts were traveling by air. Warm springs that drive away the cold of upper Canada are no more incredible than an airplane. And the story Is very suggestive. The obvious step Is to pipe the hot contents of Vesuvius, Popocatepetl, Krakatao and other nat ural furnaces to the Arctic, where they will do good instead of harm.

C., Oct. 15, 1925.—1 am getting older and older. It is harder for me to do things now, when I know I will be criticized, than it was when I was young and my nerves hard. One thing, those who may differ with me cannot throw in my face, that I wanted office or craved worldly honors. I am a weak lay member in a Baptist church, satisfied with my lot. I have made mistakes, I have broken the Commandments, have sinned against God and man. I was a prodigal son, and now I am a prodigal father, but, God helping me, I do want the world to be better be cause I have lived. I am praying my Heavenly Father to lead my thoughts in writing this message. I praise God that His son is at the right hand of my Father in glory pleading for poor me. I thank God that I believe His book from cover to cover, and that I do not believe in Mr. Darwin’s or Mr. Peterson’s evolution. I believe the Book when it says that “The love of money is the root of all evil.” Had you been at the Woody hearing before the Pardon Commis sion in Raleigh, October 7th, and seen the high-brows patting the money king on the back, and pointing the finger of scorn at us poor sin-sick laymen, there in our feeble way, trying to uphold our constitution, and save our boys from filling drunkards’ graves, you too would believe that “money is king.” I am proud that our lieutenant gov ernor is a smart, shrewd lawyer. I helped to give him his position. He could fill the chair with credit to this great state of ours, but I do think that he was in the wrong place, plead ing, you might say, to his own com mission. to set aside and denounce the truth of the evidence, and the decision of our Chatham "county neighbor iurors, trying to make it appear that this was the only case where a man was put on the roads for illegal pos session of whisky, but if I am cor rectly informed the other fellows were r*oor men. not that I have hatred cherished in my heart for any per son living. I am a lover of mankind, and love to go out of the way to he T n a fellow brother, and feel I can safelv say the same thing for every man and woman at that hearin" who was ask ing that brother Ambrose work out 7TCTOR R.

While at that hearing my mind was wondering “what can we do to be saved from the liquor traffic.” First came to my mind my party.

I was frightened. These are all my friends, all the lawyers and bankers in our good county. I’m always need ing money, and most always in trouble. In this dilemma, what shall I do?
