The Egyptian king, who ■wolle* with grandeur, ordered ■ colossal stairway built In his new palace, discovered. to his chagrin, when It was completed, that he required a ladder to enable him to aecend from one step to another. He had neglected ts observe that the logs of a king are as short as the legs of a beggar. Aggrandize as we may, the limits of our senses check us miserably at every movement. We may be wealthy and call ourselves proprietors. Houses and pictures may entrance us and. after enjoying them for a season, we are carried out of our own door, never again to enter it. Proprietors we were, perhaps of farms and castles, of estates and stocks, but now we are nothing mors than the least of the sons of men. The arti.:t who visits our gallery while we live and own it, no doubt, enjoys It more than we. We are sufficiently -rich to dine every hour of the day, but we must eat sparingly. to enjoy dining once a day. Our cellars may be filled with exquisite wine, but one bottle Is all we can drink. We make feasts and call In our professed friends, perhaps only parasites who will live upon our substance and, Instead of gratitude, will return us envy as our reward. A score of horses may be In our stables, yet we can mount but one at a Urns. To be truly rich, a man should have capacity to enjoy all he can afford; Increased vigor, and sensibility to return all the hove which he Is able to propitiate with gifts. At the close of his earthly career, the man who Is rich, only In this world’s goods, has expended upon himself, scarcely more than the poor man. The millionaire Is forced to content himself wlh the same sky and to breathe the same air as the poorest clerk In hts employ. He cannot order a private sunset nor add one star i to the magnificence of night. The | same atmosphere swells all lungs; each one possesses really, only hie own thoughts and his own senses. Soul and body are the only real possessions of any man. All, that Is intrinsically valuable In this life, is to be had without cost; yea even eternal life may be obtained “without money and without price.” Genius, beauty and love are not bought and sold. We may buy a Costly bracelet, but not a well turned wrist upon which to wear it; we may purchase a pearl necklace but not a pretty neck with which It shall vie. The richest banker on earth would oiTer, In vain, hfc fortune In ex- | change for the ability to wtke a poem, such as Homer sung or Byron j composed. At the end of their

earthly existence, the rich and the I J*

poor are both alike. The only dlfference Is found In the habiliments of the grave. Man Is but a handful of clay which rapidly turns back again for the activities of the polled, nightly, to relapse Into the oblivion of sleep to gain strength again for the activities of the coming day. Thus we see that man !h proprietor only of the breath whibh traverses his Ups, and of the Idea as It Hits across his mind; and even the Idea may have originated with an ither.—York, i’a. Gazette.

Blind Boat Racing Crews.

Two blind crews with coxswains with sight took part recently In a boot race on the River Severn. They were composed of past and present students of the College for the Higher Education for the Blind, Wor

New French Uniforms.

The bright red trousers and other conspicuous features of French soldiers’ uniforms are to be done away with, and a uniform of blue-gray cloth substituted, because It Is less con-

spicuous.

The Usual Penalty. Little Dick, who was In the habit of receiving a good old-fashioned punishment when he said naughty words, was much excited the other day when he found his mother washing out the new baby’s mouth with an antiseptic. “Hooray for her!” he cried, looking at Little Sister with dawning admtra tton. “Aw, mother, tell me what she said, won’t you?"

Science has decided that a kiss Is infectious osculation, but plain people are satisfied with the r>od old name.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR

The Ford One-Ton Truck As a matter of fact we might almost as well call it a ThreeTon truck as it very rarely carries a smaller sized load. The owners of the Ford truck take advantage of the high qualities of materials which are known to be put in the Ford car, take advantage of the high quality of Ford workmanship which characterizes Ford cars and they overload to the limit. Well, the Ford truck has never broken down with any of these overloads. It delivers expectations and double expectations, so far as carrying capacity is concerned, and while that is not fair to the truck, still the owners are satisfied. But the Ford one-ton truck, with its aluminum bronze worm drive, its greater weight and strength of frame and its incomparable power plant, is without a reasonable competitor in price, in service, in cost of operation. It is the lowest priced truck on the market, of equal capacity. No other truck on the market operates so economically and we believe there is no other truck that will give as satisfactory and profitable results. Our allotment is limited. Better leave your order without delay. King, Morrison & Foster Ford and Fordson Agents Greencastl** Cloverdale Roachdale

Christmas Sale of Rockers

Dnvfd h Klfpctlvo WayGo lack to tin; ilayK of the patriarchs and road the patlintlc story of Jacob and Rachel and Leah and other such. And, speaking of divorce, eorrn very eminent personages of tb.frt periods did not await the action of the divorce courts. When King David 'ell In love with Bathslu ba, wife of Uriah the HPtlte, he Caif "d Gi nti'd Joab to send Uriah to him. Then David made him «*vunk; “And It came to pass In the morning that David wrote « letter t i J< ah, and e- o'. It by the hand of Uriah, and he wrote In the letter, r :-> tug, >-t ye I'nah In the forefront of the hottest battle and retire ye fron. him that he may be smitten and die!" And Uriah was bmitten. It was not a nice way of divorcing Uriah and Hail dieba, but it was very effective; and It is not even recorded that David had consulted Ilathshcba about the performance. Even tho youthful reader of history knows n it only of these accounts of Sacred Writ, but also of the divorces of kings and queens, sometimes by mutual agreement, sometimes by act of Parliament; and the kings and queens of modern times who are kings and queens of money only have Joyously followed suit. What Is this love which flames up Into a prodigious conflagration and then so soon burns to ashes?
