In Spain, and particularly In ilio province of Andalusia, families are so largo that even Theodore Roosevelt would have beca appalled. Hamilton Fyfo, tlie well-known writer, was touring Andalusia on horseback one winter and spent the night In a fomla near Los Boliches. At dinner over his hominy soup, Mr. Fyfc was amazed to see the multitude of daughters that the innkeeper possessed. "You have a fine, a very fine family ' i daughters there," he said. "Ali, sonor," said the innkeeper, "we've been very unfortunate with our daughters. During a 1917 terral, the chimney fell in and killed all hut eleven of them." Both Alike. "I can't Imagine what Mildred sees In the' Smith boy," remarked Mildred's mother. "He hasn't got brains enough in his head to fill a thimble." "Oh, well, I dare say your mother said the same thing about me when I came courting you!" replied the girl's father Indulgently. But ho suddenly lost his complacent smile when his wife retorted: "She certainly did. and I was Just ns big a fool as Mildred Is now. I wouldn't listen to the advice of my elders." Frequently a chorus girl's success depends upon her understanding. i

HAD BRIEF DAY OF FAME
Beautiful Paisley Shawl Achieved Immense Popularity, but Only fcr a Short Time. The story of the Paisley shawl a sTtecimen, I hear. lias just been presented to Lady Konhnm-Carter forms one of the shortest and most romantic chapters in the modern history of industry, says a writer in the Westminster fJazetie. The manufacture of these beautiful things was begun, reached a great height of prosperity and became extinct in the space of a little over eighty years. No Paisley shawl has been woven since 1SSO, and none is likely ever to leave the looms again. The shawl had Its origin In the ambition of the Paisley weavers to produce on the loom ,the amazingly elaborate patterns, woven by the needle, of the Cashmere shawls that had been sent home from the Kast by Scottish officers and traders to their women folk. The Paisley weavers were notable craftsmen, and they produced a shawl which excelled its prototype in beauty of design and richness of color. Their success was the reward of patience, skill, taste and a delicacy of touch which, experts say, has probably never been equaled before or since in the Weaving craft. A common price for one of these shawls in the days when they were not a rarity was 100, and they were worn by women of all classes in Scotland except the very poor. Then fashion decreed that the Paisley shawl should no longer be the mode, and its fate was seal). Queen Victoria gave the dying industry a new, hut brief, lease of life when she bought seventeen of the famous shawls and wore one at the baptism of the prince who was to become King I-M ward. RHODESIA "LAND OF 0PHIR7" Archeologists Have Long Contended for and Against Arguments to That Effect. The extensive ruins of ancient forts, temples and gold workings in Rhodesia have ben given rise to considerable controversy from time to time, some archeologists contending that they are only four hundred or live hundred years old and others homing that they date back to at least two thousand years before the Christian era, and that Rhodesia was the land of Ophir, mentioned in the Bible at chapters ix and x of I Kings. It is noteworthy that Milton in "Paradise Lost." hook II. speaks of the angel Michael leading Adam to a hill of paradise from whose top His eyes misht there command wherever stood City of ohl or motlern fame, from the walls of Cambalu to Snfabi (thought Ophir) to the realm of Congo, and; Angola, farthest FOUth. The theory has been advanced that If Rhodesia was not actually Ophir, it was at least the "Havilah" whence the gold of Ophir was obtained and which was so much in evidence at Solomon's entertainment of the queen of Sheba. If this theory is correct then Sofala of today would be the site of 4,TarshIsh," the ancient seaport for "Ilavilah," and the outlet for precious stones, metals and other merchandise. Ophir being situated in all probability on the southern coast of Arabia and constituting a distributing emporium rather than the place of origin of these things. Emaciated Bride Considered Beautiful. Javanese marriage custom include n period of religious instruction for both the bride and the groom. The young man starts his Instruction by paying daily visits to the priest of the village, and learning all the complicated phrases which lie will have to. utter on the day of his wedding. The pupil is placed in a tank of cold water :,nd stays there submerged up to his chin while the priest bends over him and reads the Koran, the performance taking place i n front of the church. The girl begins her preparations for the great day by several weeks of semi-starvation during which time she takes only sullicient rice ami hot water to sustain life. Because of this hunger strike enforced by custom, she loses considerable weight, an emaciated bride being considered a thing of beauty n the Island of Java. Detroit News. Where the Shah Sits.

It would seem ihat when a mud hole has established a reputation which readies into the next congressional district it would be content to retire and not keep on clogging the highway with the prostrate forms of seven-passenger touring cars. P,ut it is harder to make a mud hole retire than it Is to drag a federal office holder away from the pay roil. Mud holes are caused by the surface of the road giving way at the knee joints and sinking due south until both running boards are anchored firmly to the highway.

I5ut it must be remembered that Professor Freud is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of European authorities on neurosis, and it is: from the dreams of neurotics that he has drawn the larger part of the material for his dream theories. It would hardly be fair to interpret the garden dream of a normal person in the manner in which Freud interprets the garden dream of his neurotic patient. In the analysis of another dream In which tlowers appear he traces the connection to the fact that the day before he had talked with a man named Gardner and attended a patient named Flora which appears quite reasonable. No normal person need fear to dream of a garden. In fact, to walk In a dreamland garden Is a form of

When such a mud hole as this Is located in close proximity to a farmer who owns a dredging outfit consisting of a team of docile mules, it is worth more to the property than a trans-continental railway. Many a farmer who lives next to one of these quick assets has earned more money yanking deeply Imbedded tourists to some haven of rest than by any other form of endeavor. There are not so many mud Indes ; in our public highways as formerly, j this being due to the fact that the farmer is buying most of the automobiles.

It used to be the fashion to repair mud holes with live sod. which stood erect in the road and imparted a smooth, gliding sensation to people in the back seat.

False Prophets By GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS HOW big a factor in your life are the False Prophets the longfaced, deceptive-eyed, urpovoiewod semi-humans that are everlastingly coming up to you and getting you dissatisfied with your lot and seeking to convince you of the wonderful success you would bo somewhere else? The only Prophets worth listening to are the Prophets answering to your own Will. Accept the advhv of no Prophet unless he squares and measures fully up to the Accomplishment Test. For it's the False Prophets who have theories and great promises for everybody else but who are unable M prophesy six inches into their own future to save their neck. The only Prophets worth listening to are the Prophets answering to your own Will. You own your own house and lot. You live in your house and upon your lot. There you Sleep, Kat and Plan. Your doors are open to the outside world only upon invitation. How then, Is it possible for an Alien personage to dictate the terms of your happiest existence "where you are? The only Prophets worth listening to are the Prophets answering to your own Will. No one is ever truly great until he stretches out his arms to embrace ih real joy of Independence. No man truly sniiles in Contentment and in realized Service, until he Is uble to give audience to his False Prophet under calm observation yet to abhor their Prophecies. By EDGAR A. GUEST THE ROADS OF HAPPINESS. The Knuds of Happiness are not The selfish roads of pleasure seeking. Where cheeks are flushed with haste and hot And none has time for kindly speaking. Put they're the roads where lovers stray. Where wives and husbands walk together And children romp along the way Whenever It Is pleasant weather. The Koads of Happiness are trod Ky simple folks and tender-hearted. By gentle folks that worship Cod And want to live their days imparted. There kindly people stop and talk, Kegardless of the chase for money. There, arm in arm, the grownups walk And every eye you see z sunny. The Koads of Happiness are lined. Not with the friends of royal splendor, P.ut with the loyal friends and kind That do the gentle deeds and tender, Then fame has never brought unrest Nor glory set men's hearts to aching, Th'To unnbandonod is life's best Tor selfish love and money making. The Koads ot Happiness are thoe That do not lead to pomp and glory, P.ut wind among the joys and vne That make1 the humble toiler's story.
