SWORD WORTHY OF OWNER Blado Worn by Miles 8tandlah Has Been Traced to the Tims of ""'.,, the Crusades.

A report on the Dome of the Rock of Jerusalem Is shortly to be published and will be of grout Interest to the Ma hommedan world. It may not be gen ral1y known that this place Is the third In sanctity of nil the sanctuaries of Islam, and Indeed for a short period tt actually formed the Kilila toward which all Moslem prostrated them aelves in prayer. Among the more im portant religious associations of this rock we may mention that it was here that David ynd .Solomon were called to repentance, and on account of a vision David chose this site for his temple. From this same spot Mohammed as cended to the Seventh lienven after his night Journey from Mecca, anil last ly It is to he the scene of the (ireat Judgment. The historical assoi lations are not less striking, ami such famous names as Omar, Abd el MaleU, Saladin and Suleiman are all connected with the rock. From the Zan.ihnr tiazotte. Private Stocking.

COULDN'T LEAVE EMILY OUT Peculiar Reason Why Elderly Spinster Just Had ts Attend the Funeral. Word has come to the mid-Victorian lady that an old friend of her moth er's had died suddenly In her home In Maine. It was her duty to break the sad news to two elderly spinsters, cousins of the dear departed "auntie." She found Miss Susan at home, tend Ingr to her pet canary. Miss Susan Is Ts. but spry and alert, ready for any eineix'elicy. Miss llmllv, live vears older, wii- out motoring with a kimlly i benefactress.

Pitt the thought of all j tin-, couplod with midsummer heat did not daunt the little lady. She would go. "Put. tit least.

Sorlmi-.h . In her slow drawl, she replied: "Oh, I couldn't leave L'mlly behind. You see she has so little fun In tier life.'"

Helium From Natural Gas. I'p to a little n.ore than a year ago helium was a laboratory product made at a cost of from $1,500 to $2,000 per cubic foot, hut toward the close of the war its production had been simpli fied to the point that 8.000 cubic feet per day was produced in Texas alone. The commercial production of he lium has been stimulated by the need i a substitute for hydrogen, which is so highly Inflammable that its value for military purposes in dirigibles and kite balloons is gravely Impaired. Al though tlie substitution of helium for th!s purpose entails a loss of 7 per con' in Pfting l ower, this is more than oai;"-!! -o ted lor by the elimination of : i risk of tire and explosion. Helium s sss !,,ss by diffusion than hy dro. in and cannot be made to huru or fi.pl-.Ic under any conditions. The average ni..ii is not a had fellow when ;.nu .:. to i now him.

It is by his vote that candidates arc set up and issues determined and business gov erned and charities supported and plays patronized, 'there is u great deal of money in pleasing the aver age mail. Moreover, the level of his tastes is rising, though pessimists re fuse to see It or to say so. He Is ca pable of education and he has traveled far since his training began. li needn't always be given all that he asks for; sometimes he makes mis takes, and sometimes he wants what isn't good for him. Jjpmetlmes he loses his tread, and in an incendiary or Inebriate temper, loses that which a cooler Judgment in a calmer hour leads him to worry for. But on the whole he is strangely reasonable and patient and self-controlled. It Is touching to find how often he Is doing the best he can, according to the light he has. He serves the world far better than some eccentric and unconventional mortals who sneer tit him for following a dull, unemotional routine. Lenders of men have learned to deal with the average man, to talk his lan guage and to understand his ways. They have taught the rank and file to discover a latent capacity and to reveal a strength hidden and unsus pected. They have had faith in "the general gnsd sense and hanest inten tions of mankind." They have gen uinely loved their fellow and their sympathy has been real and manifest. Neither in war nor in peace is a vic tory to he won unless the captains put their coufldence In a host. SCORED ON THE PRINCIPAL Young School Teacher Got Gloriously Even for Long Series of Sarcas tic Observations. Now, the principal of this school is sarcastic as well as intelligent, and whenever she happens to mention a eubjeet and finds that her teachers are ignorant on the subject she "bawls them out" for their ignorance. Especially !s this resented by the new est recruit at the building. Iteceiitly the principal acquired "u man,'' who was a widower. She is proud of the acquisition, mentioning, him often in her conversations. The other morning she began to ask the teachers about an urticle she had Just read in the paper. Now, none of them had read It. Sarcastically she asked: "Well, don't any of you read the papers?" The newest recruit smiled sweetly and wisely. "Of course," she returned, '"but not everything in them. We Just have time to read the society page and then the death and funeral list so that we shall know who the new widowers are." Indianapolis News. Autoing for Wolves. Tlie motorcycle threatens to out rival the broncho as an instrument of locomotion on Western ranches and cuttle ranges. According to the Illus trated World, cowboys are using it for rounding up cuttle, driving in stray animals, inspecting long lines of fences and other such work. By all adds the must remarkable purpose for which the motorcycle is eniploved. however. Is that of chasing coyotes. Such a machine, if tlie terrain he not too difficult can easily overtake one of those little gray wolves, tiring the beast down to a point where it can no longer turn and dodge successfully. 1 Then it is simply a mutter of a whirl ' of the lariat, and tlie vicious brute, : with u few quick spurts of tlie motor ! cycle is choked to death. Philadel phia Public Ledger. She Knew. The girls In the seventh grade all wore large Hair hows made ot neau tlful. bright tissue paper. They were not only inexpensive but so pretty that they were declared a great suc cess until one day it rail, e. I and the hows failed all over the little owners' hair. Then L'rent was the lamenting. One of the boys looked from the girls with their spotted red and blue and purple hair to two spinster teach ers in the l;fty-year-old class. "1 don't know as they're so badly otT." lie re marked ta the teacher who was young and pretty and with a strong sense of humor. "I'd rather be faded on ac count of having beaus than to be on account of not having tliem." Then teticher smiled. She toa had preferences. Indianapolis News. Belt Full of Sea Lion Scalps.

She then married the fluke. Her great beauty was a storm sig nal wherever she went in London and Paris, and a long list of duels, ruin and trouble followed her wake. Al though she lost a part of her fortune she continued to he received at con tinental courts up to her death at the nge of sixty-eight, as wicked In her final years as in her youth. She got drunk, swore, had a dozen lovers, ru ined as many more, and In fact did everything that should have brought her shame and sorrow, but lived a ri otous life to the end. MEDALLION HELD AS CURIO Only 6n a Number Struck in 1829 Is Bslisved ts Be in Existence Toa'ay. To defray the expenses Incident to th Inauguration of John Qulncy Ad ams as the sixth President of the L'nited States In 1815, tlie inaugural committee sold medallions at $5 each. Five dollars was considerable money In those days, and the owner uf a medal lion was entitled to special considera tion at the inaugural ceremonies. As much as the medallions were prized i5 years ago, It is believed that only one exists today, the property of J. A. I.arrick, a policeman detailed to Washington police headquarters. The Adams medallion was given to I.arrick l." years ago by Kilward Mur phy, who is now dead. Murphy's fa ther, who witnessed the inauguration of President Adams, was the original purchaser of the medal. At the time he 'was presented with lite medallion. I.arrick was a police man in the First precinct. Murphy was an it god bookkeeper. I.arrick on several occasions assisted the old fel low and the niedullion was his re ward. Probably the most striking thing about tlfb medallion is its inscription, "Science Brings Peace and America Plenty." Chose Wife by Her Feet Heading persons' characters from their feet is the method Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the chief scout, has ad mitted he employed in choosing his wife "The best wife I ever had." Tlie sveretary of a hoy scouts' troop gives these examples of foot reading: "Short steps denote a fussy, swag- I gering little person. i "Hurried, jerky steps, a nervous per- 1 son. "A slow slouch, a lazy man, a loafer. "Smooth, quick steps, an intelligent, observant person." I A boy scout observed that a stolid ' person often walks Hat footed. I II. V. L. Kiks. the walker, said: "The walker I most distrust, especial ly where a woman Is concerned, is the one who conies down hard on the heels.
