Love is the one inspiration of genius. Indeed, it is love that causes genius, and not, as the untrue saying is, “an infinite capacity for taking pains.” There must be the painstaking, of course, but love lies back of it. If one has the power of loving greatly, one has the power of doing great work, and not otherwise. —Amos R. Wells. o_ Deadly Plant The coyotillo plant is found in our Southwest and in Mexico. Animals eating it show no effect for days, or sometimes weeks. A paralysis of the limbs then develops and a lingering death follows.

The Allen “A” company's labor troubles have been marked by 18 bombings in six months and sluggings and gun fights almost daily, but the abduction of Henderson was the first kidnaping. Marie and Olga Henderson, sisters of the victim, said their automobile was forced into a ditch on a country road by four men, ivearing handkerchiefs over their faces and carrying sawed off shotguns. In the scuffle that followed Marie was struck over the head with the butt of a revolver and Olga was bruised and scratched. Deputies, greatly augmented since the start of the trouble here, were searching all parts of Kenosha county today for Henderson and the kidnapers.

Prize Hunting Story Offered for Record The world's record for tall stories is held by the rangers of our notional parks, according to the authors of the book about the parks, "Oh, Ranger!" Their prize creation as quoted In ‘‘Oh, Ranger!” Is as follows: “A ranger doing patrol duty on the boundary line, having run out of supplies and being In immediate danger of starving, grabbed his trusty old gun for which only one shell remained, and. going beyond the park Jlne, maneuvered around carefully, hunting diligently so ns to be sure to get the best results with z the one shot. Finally he came upon a brace of quail perched in a cluster of brush close enough together for both to be bagged at one shot. Carefully raising the gun, he fired. Imagine his great joy Tvhen on running to the spot to pick up his quail he found that he had killed six more, which were on the other side of the bush and which he had not seen. Hearing a great commotion out In a small lake near by, he saw a big buck deer that had become frightened at the sound of his shot and had run into the lake and bogged down in the mud. Dropping the quail, he hurried out into the lake and cut the buck's throat. In carrying the deer out, he sank down Into the mud himself up over his boot tops. Upon reaching the shore, he sat down and pulled the boots off to pour out the water and found In them a dozen nice fish. Placing the quail, fish and deer together so that they could be more easily carried, he was struggling Xo get the load on his shoulders. This put a great strain on his suspender buttons, and one of these flew off with such force thnt it killed a rabbit a hundred yards in the rear.”

Worker Meant Well, but He Spoiled Show , When the women of a Glendale church prepared for their annual dramatics a miniature log cabin was one of the stage properties necessary, says the Los Angeles Times. An influential member obtained the loan of a load of .rough slubs with which to build the cabin, and they were delivered and placed in a neat pile just outside the .church. • Husbands and men friends had ‘agreed to gather prior to tlie presentation to construct the scenery. When the first of the group arrived he was astonished to hear a power saw in action, and after greetings were exchanged, the volunteer worker explained : "1 was passing and saw this pile of wood, and, being a church man mjs self, I thought it would help the church out if I sawed it up with my power outfit.”

Not Quite Plain Enough A fellow-scribbler tells us that one recent evening, while waiting for a Tear somewhere In the wilds of Beachview, a mammy who looked as though she had just stepped off the side of a 'buckwheat flour box came up to him and inqlired: “Pa’don me. sah —but does you all have da time?” "Why, yes,” he replied, and extracts ed his gold ticker from his hip—that is, bis vest pocket—he held up the face of the watch, which indicated that it was a quarter of nine. For a moment she studied the watch in silence and he said nothing. But as be was about to return the chronometer to his pocket, site observed: “Mistah, would you mind speakin’ a li’l bit louder. I’s somewhat hard o‘hearin. y —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Famous Early Mansion Marshall hall was the colonial seal of the Marshalls. It was originally a tract of 200 acres purchased direcl from the Piscataway Indians by William Marshall I. The old mansion was built by William Marshall II a half century before Mount Vernon, The property remained in the Marshall family for six generations and extended its boundaries to include 1,000 acres. In 18G6. through Civil war misfortune, the family lost it, Thomas Hanson Marshall lived there in General Washington’s time and served under Washington in the Revolutionary war. He married Rebecca Dent. Four of his six children were living during the Revolutionary war. Varying Size of Bergs The size of icebergs varies. They may be 100 or more feet high with crests or minarets from 200 to 300 feet above the base, which may be hundreds of yards in length. In the Kennedy channel, Greely followed an iceberg which was estimated to be 15 miles long, over 100 feet thick and of unknown breadth. A huge icelierg sighted by the bark Emil Julius in 1884 towered about 1,700 feet above the sea. Only about one-eighth or oneninth of the mass lies above the water. Her Days of Rest A suburban woman has a colored day worker whose accomplishment ot washing and ironing all in one day Is a constant cause of boasting to the envious neighbors. One day she com miserated her marvel on the exigencies of fortune that drove her, the mother of 12 children, out to working by the day. To her sjirprise, the pitied one repudiated the pity. “Hard on me, ma'am? Not a bit ol It. Why, the days I go out are thf only chances at all that I gits to rest myself,"—New York Sum

Since Ea. Eest i .ms i Gamblers Have Diced Dicing is not unknown In Bangkok, and it Is Interesting to reflect It g >es as fur back as do records of hlstorv. Since the dawn of human life, <tl«"ehave nconipanled mankind on Its upward march; from the knucklebones he tossed nt the entrance to his eave, gi\ing different values to the fi'itr easily recognizable sides; through the dotted variety whose opposite sides jnust always total seven, to the poker dice whose quintet of aces, so seldom appearing, haunts the dreams of 'he (modern gambler. By their aid Greeks iwhlled away the more “cushy" spells during the siege of Troy. Casting their dice from conical breakers, thov poetically called the lucky throw of three "ds” “n ph rodite," ami the less welcome three "Is" they mimed “the dog." Hut, needless to say, the fertile brain of Asia had devised these playthings centuries before their rattle was ever hen rd In Europe. Sad to think of the immemorial turpitude of man! Loaded dice date back as far as history; and specimens with which wicked legionaries of ancient Home cheated their simpler comrades in arms are on view in many museums. .—Siam Observer.

Eskimo Sea! Hunter “Talks" to His Prey It requires a great deal of ingenuity on tlie part of the Eskimo seal hunter to get near his quarry. He must get to tlie leeward so that the seal will not. scent him and then he must crawl up carefully, and when within a lew hundred feet of the seal he gets flat on the ice. The seal takes tlie Eskimo, who Is able to “talk seal” perfectly, to be one' of its kindred, and indeed there I* a great deal of resemblance between the two, for seal and hunter are similarly clothed, and tlie Eskimo, living largely upon the fish and oil of 'he seal. Is similarly odorous. As the two lie there upon the Ice a most amusing sort of conversation is kept trp between them. The seal makes a remark and Hips his tail. The Eskimo replies and makes a corresponding gesture with his foot. At the same time he throws himself a little forward. Tlie seal soon lias something further to say, and again flips Ids tail. The Eskimo replies as before, and still further closes up the distance between them. —Exchange. Not Perfect A good story about Dean Inge which belies his sobriquet, “Tlie Gloomy Dean,” is told by Mrs. A. M. W. Stirling in her reminiscences, “Life's Little Day.” The dean was dining with tlie bishop of Loin km.' and among tiiose present was tlie bishop of Winchester. Wine and liquors were handed around, and both London and Winchester waved theur'away. Tlie dean took champagne, port and liquor. Then the cigars were handed around. “No, thank you,” said London. “Not for me,” said Winchester. The dean helped himself, and, light- j ing It placidly, leaned across to a famous lawyer, and indicating his companions, observed deprecatingly: "But they have oilier vices!” Road Runner Can Travel A bird about the size of a chicken that subsists on snakes and lizards in the parched regions of the South-1 west is able to run faster than America's best sprinter. This bird is the road runner, so called from its habit of running ahead of vehicles. Not long ago a road runner was clocked by a motorist, and the speedometer showed that the bird made 26 miles an hour. The runner was trapped in a canyon and its only means of escape was tlie road on which the motorist was traveling. It ran imme diately ahead of tlie car. Tlie splinter wtio clicks off the 100ynrd dash in 10 seconds is making about 10 miles an hour. Primitive Pressing The first* reference to sadirons that we find was in the year 1832. Before tlie use of irons for smoothing clothes, a form of mangle was employed. Tlie box mangle by which articles were pressed on flat surfaces by rollers, which were weighted with a box full of stones, moved to and fro by a rack and pinion. Tlie clothes were passed between wooden rollers or bowls held close together by weighted levers. In earlier periods, and in rural districts particularly, clothes were very often pressed by folding them carefully and placing heavy weights upon them. Use for Umbrellas A new and practical use lias been found for the umbrella. A young man, accompanied by two girls, was observed walking along a Philadelphia street holding ah umbrella nt right angles to the sidewalk, pointed toward the curb. It had stopped raining, bm there were still large puddies In the street. When automobiles dashed by they splashed muddy water five or six feet upon the sidewalk, which the young man bravely fended with the umbrella. Keep the Mind Open An op mind is one of Hie essen tials of success. Decided opinionusually lead to trouble.
