"MISSING" MAN WAS CONVICT
Long Mourned as Dead, English
Woman Learns Her Husband Had
Served Prison Sentence.
Many people, doubtless, "disappear"
for reasons of their own. Debt,
crime or some other hidden page in
their apparently blameless lives may
be the real reason for their going.
Little did the wife of a Manchester
man know into what terrible entangle-
ment her husband had got ten years
before. He was thought to be a re-
spectable merchant; his home life was
happy and blameless.
One day he went out to buy a news-
paper and returned no more.
For years his wife mourned him as
dead, until one day during the war he
came back. He was now a soldier, but
his disappearance was explained by
the fact that, under another name and
In another town, he had been carry-
ing on a fraudulent stock and share
office—a "bucket-shop"—and had been
arrested and sentenced to a longi term.
He was released during the war, and
while serving in Frnnce had thought
of the once happy wife he had so
misled. Hence his sudden reappear-
ance to a world which had almost for-
gotten him.—London Answers.
Why do we refer to a sailor as "Jol-
ly?" Well, because he seems always
so to be.
One-half of our citizens who are
eligible voters fail to vote.
Good Reason.
A Scottish parish church was in
need of a minister, and the beadle,
who was rather a gawky character,
was very loud in his praise of one of
the candidates. This gentleman was
duly elected, and proved a great suo
cess. Whereupon some of the mem-
bers of the congregation asked the
beadle what there had been about
the candidate that so conclusively
proved his good qualities.
"Oh, naethlng at a'," said the bea-
dle; "but, ye see, I aye get the min-
ister's auld claes. and he wis the only
yln o' the candidates that wig about
ma size."
Measurements.
A two-foot rule was given to a la-
borer in a Clyde boatyard to measure
an iron plate. The laborer, not being
well up in the use of the rule, after
spending considerable time returned.
"Now, Mick," asked the plater,
"what size is the plate?"
"Well," replied Mick, with a grin of
satisfaction, "it's the length of your
rule and two thumbs over, with this
piece of brick and the breadth of my
hand and my arm from here to there,
bar a finger."—Everybody's Magazine.
He Desired Peace.
In a vaudeville house the other day
a man in the audience went to sleep.
His energetic neighbor'punched him.
"What's the matter?" the would-be
sleeper growled.
"The program's begun," the other
returned.
"Program be hanged," snorted the
other; "I want to sleep."
"Sleep in all this noise!" The other
voiced his amazement.
"Noise nothing," the other closed
his eyes. "This is quiet My wife's
on a jawing spree at home,"
Theories may work fine after you
have got everybody to agree to try
them out.
What Kind of a Day
Do You Wish Yourself?
Suppose you could make a wish at the
breakfast table and finally have the wish come
true. Would you say,
"I want this to be a good day," or—"I am
willing for this day to drag along?"
If you keep on wishing your days with the
food you eat, finally the wish is likely to come
true.
Grape-Nuts helps your wish for a good day.
Nothing miraculous; just the natural result from
right food with the right taste.
' There is a charm of flavor and crispness
in Grape-Nuts that is like the smile of a good
friend at the breakfast table—
And Grape-Nuts, with cream or milk (fresh
or tinned), is fully nourishing—feeding the tissues
and glands, the bone and blood, with just those
elements which Nature requires — building
strength without any "heaviness."
Grape-Nuts is the perfected goodness of
wheat and malted barley, scientifically developed
—ready to eat from the package. A Grape-Nuts
breakfast or lunch is a practical wish for good luck.

"Another daughter? Seven in little
more than ten years. What Is to be-
come of that family Is beyond me.
John and Mollie ought to see that it
ictually criminal—having a family
of this sort, with no chance of provid-
ing for it," Mrs. FortntT commented
fretfully, looking up from the special
letter In her hands.
Miss Drave, her spinster slster-ln-
law, said acidly: "Seems like they're
proud of their performance—in such a
hurry to let you know of It."
"They are! You should hear Mol-
lie," Mrs. Fortner returned. "Says she
Is so lucky—has never had to make a
single set of baby-clothes—just a piece
at a time, as the first were handed
down. And that she can be thrifty
without hurting the children In the
east—they don't have to wear things
the lenst bit tight—shoes even can
be passed on. so no feet are cramped.
I feel like shaking her—but what good
would it do? John Is just as bad. I
asked him what under the sun he ex-
pected to become of his family. He
only grinned and told me there might
be too many women, but never In the
world could there be too many good
wives. Like Mollie, 1 suppose he meant.
Anyway, he sounded mad to me. No
girl can marry well If she Is not well
brought forward. Though I can pos-
sibly do something If I live to see them
grown, I doubt if one of the ilock will
have looks enough or wit enough to
make her worth my bringing out."
"You'd have to dress her—and
everything. Brother 'Lisha would
never stand for that," Miss Drave said
reflectively.
Mrs. Fortner cast up her eyes, say-
ing piously: "Life Is uncertain. None
of us can count on It."
If there was a note of regret over
the uncertainty It was too well masked
to fill a casual ear.
Mrs. Mollie Bryson's sole regret
over her seventh daughter was that
she herself was not likewise a seventh.
That would mean untold luck for the
small adorable mite—even better luck
than having come into a place full of
loving welcome. John had a fair sal-
ary—they owned a bit of a home in-
stead of having life insurance, so with
a trifle of savings against emergencies,
what need was there for worry?
Mrs. Fortner was John's half-sister,
the rich woman of the connection, so
of course her attitude toward the Bry-
sons set the family tone. All hands
agreed that seven girls like stair steps
were next door to a criminal offense—
one that fate could not afford to leave
unpunished. Sparse visits to the Bry-
son home usually mitigated the visit-
ors' harsh judgment. The girls were
adorable—rosy, radiant, reasonably
obedient, sunshiny spirits singularly
alike, yet agreeably different. It was
not, after all, so strange that John,
who had put by ambition to bo an art-
ist for a steady job, and that Mollie
should say, looking at the flock: "Beats
everything I could ever have Im-
agined." But once safe away prudence
again prevailed—pity, kindly or acid,
was meted out to the reckless parents.
Pretty girls, very pretty girls, with
sweet home voices, adorable dancing
feet, and Madame Molile's knack of
cookery, sewing and home-making,
they were married out of hand, as it
were, before they came to nineteen; to
the rout and confusion of Mrs. Fort-
ner, by that time a well-dowered wid-
ow, who offered to take Lenore, the
eldest, and give her a two years'
chance to marry well—that Is to say,
rich. Indeed, there was a candidate
almost in the ofllng—Major Burke, a
man of millions, just turned sixty,
who had divorced one wife and bur-
led another, hence was eager to find
a submissive and well-broken third.
John Bryson was so foolish as to re-
sent even a mention of him, saying:
"He shan't look at my girl—as for
anything else—"
"But—think of the alimony, If she
got to dislike him," Mrs. Fortner re-
monstrated—with a result of shutting
herself permanently away from her
brother's house.
With five married daughters John
Bryson chuckled over the fact that
there was neither a minister nor a
millionaire among his sons-in-law.
True, one of them, Joe Calverly, had
expectations, but they didn't hinder
his doing a man's part. Then Hymen
stumbled—Instead of carrying off Miss
Marian seriatim, his dart hit Baby
Bernice, just turned seventeen. Then
for the first time, John and Mollie
cried hard. It did not in the least con-
sole them that Marie said, trying to
giggle: 'Dad, don't spoil your beauty
—you know you've .got your son-
daughter left."
"For how long, I wonder?" John
said, viciously. Marlon swept him a
curtsy. "Years and years and yelirs,"
she said "I'm serious—you must
make me the son I ought to have been.
You don't know it—but I'm a real good
stenographer and typist—cau't you use
me down at the oliice? I won't tell
I'm any kin to you."
"Why!—there is a chance. Poor
Lucy Ames has to go away for six
months—I'm wondering if you would
fill in, and hold the place till she Is
well again! There, I can keep an eye
on you—"
-How about my keeping one on
you?" Marion asked impertinently.
But as she ran away from her reil-
nosod parents, they smiled happily.
Their one ewe iamb was, after all, al
most lUe frick of the flock.
Marlon filled the place so beautifully
ttyat In a month she was set the Job
of assistant to thet private secretary.
She had refused to be known ns a Bry-
son—all the office called her Miss
Lane. So there was fine comedy In
keeping a straight face as she greeted
her father, who, by this time, was
pretty close to the top In all affairs.
It pleased but did not In the least sur-
prise him that Gayerson, an exacting
bachelor rising forty, the main owuer
and court of Inst resort, said openly
Miss Lane was a find—one so rare,
they must make room for her when
poor Miss Ames came back. Miss
Ames was Indispensable—witness she
was getting well at the firm's expense,
arid under orders to spare nothing.
But sometimes, when Gayerson's eyes
rested on her substitute, there was
more than a shadow of speculation In
them. Certainly his work hud never
before been better done—nor bad he
got so much quiet satisfaction in its
doing.
One day he got a shock—like light-
ning from a clear sky—a letter, cheap,
primly addressed, but ever so legible.
In phrases us prim it thanked him for
ills great consideration. It was too
much that, after so providing for her
daughter, said the writer. Lucy's sal-
ary had been sent fortnightly to Lucy's
mother. It was more than she needed
,—she had saved quite enough out of
it to keep her comfortable until Lucy
came home. So would he please quit
the sending?—It made her feel like u
pauper to tuke what she did not actu-
ally need.
Gayerson passed the letter over to
Bryson, asking simply: "Can you ex-
plain?" Whereupon Miss Lane incon-
tinently vanished, leaving her father
puzzled for just a minute. "Why, It's
Marion's doing—Miss Lane, you know
—she is really my girl—1 let her come
to hold the place," he began.
"l'lease call her back!'' Gayerson
interrupted. "There is another place
waiting for her—If she will take it."
CHIEF PRECEPTS OF ISLAM
Confession of the Unity of God, Stated
Times for Prayer, and Almsgiving,
Are Imperative.
Before Mohammed founded Islam—
the name of his faith—his people wor-
shiped many gods, deities who were
rulers or putrons of the different
tribes, and above them stood Allah,
the most exalted of all, who was
evoked for the most Important things
and by whom were sworn the most
solemn oaths. But he was believed to
be too sublime to come Into Immediate
contact with weak humanity.
At that time there was a sect called
Hanlfs, or penitents, who tried to lead
a life of freedom from sin. From these
men Mohammed drew many of his
ideas and also from Jewish and Chris-
tian sources, and later wrote them In
the Koran, the sacred book of Islam.
Mohammed claimed to have had a
revelation from the angel Gabriel
handed him on a silken scroll. Among
the chief precepts of Islam Is confes-
sion of the unity of God, prayer and
almsgiving. The watchword of Mo-
hammed and his followers was:
"There Is no God but Allah, and Mo-
hammad Is his ppphet." This sen-
tence in Arabic, together with "Wa la
ghaliha ilia Allah," ("There Is no con-
queror but God"), wits written on the
walls of the Alhambra and other Moor-
ish edifices of Spain, and in most In-
stances were carefully whitewashed
away by order of Charles V.
Almost every religious belief con-
tains something that is commendable,
and many precepts needed by the peo-
ple of that period are to be found in
the Koran.
Derelicts Cause Many Disasters.
According to the United States hy-
drographic office an average of eight
vessels are wrecked each year in the
North Atlantic through collision with
floating derelicts, and the average
number of derelicts afloat at any time
in that part of the ocean is not less
than 30.
A derelict Is a wreck that does not
sink at once, and the most dangerous
kinds are those which have been burnt
to the water-line. Such was the Tau-
rus, a Norwegian barque, which was
sighted 18 times before she was sought
out and destroyed by gunfire. Two
ships actually collided with her, but
happily without receiving serious in-
jury. Jtm captains are legally bound
to report the whereabouts of any
derelicts they may see.
Four Earthquakes a Day.
Floods, due to the denudation of
the hills of trees, do an enormous
amount of damage In Japan. The
Imagination of the tourist is caught
by the fact that there are four earth-
quakes a day in Japan, and that
within a twelvemonth fires may de-
stroy four hundred acres or so of
buildings; but floods cause much
greater loss of life and property.
Every year on an average floods
drown GOO people and cause a money
loss of million yen. These appal-
ling figures do not include the loss of
life by typhoons and tidal waves.—

SUFFERED ALL
A WOMAN COULD
Mrs. Meyer Finally Found
Relief and Health in Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound
Orange, Cal. —"I always feel very
grateful to you, as some twenty years
ago three doctors
said I had to have a
serious operation. I
had a tumor, and ul-
cers which would
gather and break. I
lad displacement so
badly that I could
hardly sit down at
times, and it seemed
asif 1 suft'eredevery-
tning that a woman
could suffer. Then
some one advised me
to take Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable
Compound, and I took it until I was
cured and saved from the operation. I
have told women of your wonderful
medicine times without number, and I
am willing that you should use these
facts and my name if you like. I also
used your Compound during the Change,
and I can do all my own work but the
heavy part, and can walk miles every
day as I help my husband in the office."
— Mrs. J. H. Meyer, 412 South Orange
St., Orange, California.
It is quite true that such troubles as
Mrs. Meyer had may reach a stage where
an operation is the only resource. On
the other hand, a great many women
have been restored to health by Lydia £.
