Central Christian Church Remembers
Orphan and Aged Homeless
Easter is the day set apart by !IIL“
Christian church to remember the
Orphan and the aged homeless of
their people throughout the world.
The Central church was decorated
beautifully with flowers and potted
plants and was blessed with eight
confessions.
Rev. Strawn preached in the morn
ing on the fraternity of the early
church and its effect on the church
and the heathen world.
In the evening the following pro
gram was rendered:
The National lh-nv\'(tjcut Associa
tion, Miss Rosalie Patterson,
Christian Orphan Home, St. Louis
Mo., Mrs. S. A. Strawn,
Our Home for the Aged, Jackson
ville; 11, Dr. Louis A. 1 urner,

Spring and Summer MODES HAVE POTENT CHARM Al Their Dun
High Quality is the rule here, high price the exception. And never has this policy of ours been bet
ter shown than in the stocks assembled for this season‘s selling. Every wrap and suit in this aris
tocratic company features some new ideas, some note of distinction that tells the initiated these
garments were designed—not simply made. And because our asortments are so large, selection
is made easy. Come to the EMPIRE STORE and save time and money.

Ever Catch a Micropterus?
The black bass are of two specles—
the small-mouth black bass and the
large-mouth black bass, writes Dr. R.
W. Shufeldt in the American Forestry
Magazine. Both belong to the genus
Micropterus, and are readily distin
guished through the fact that in the
last-named form the angle of the gape
of the mouth is back of the imaginary
vertical line from the center of the
pupil of the eye upon either side. So
gamy are these fish that they are
known as the “gaetish of the North,”
ind anglers prefer to fish for them

- “LEADER OF QUALITY AND LOW PRICE”
Look for the Best. ‘
’ + Leok for the best in people and in
life. Vhen the worst presents itself,
remember there is another side. Wait,
and it will appear. Teach yourself
“early in life to be glad of another’s
success, sorry for another’s failure.
The moment you entertain the opposite
feeling, you invite ultimate disaster to
your life, The thoughts you send forth
will come back to you as events, fin
ally. Thought is the main road to
happiness. As you think, so shall your
life be. Circumstances and environ
ment are changed by intense thought
action. Happiness comes mainly from
neither. Every day we hear and read
of successful men and women judged
from a worldly standpoint who are
miserable and wunhappy. Prosperity,
friendship, success and the best of all,
love, add greatly to the happiness of
a happy mind.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Indians Not Always Horsemen.
The Indian is more impressive on
his horse than off it. Therefore near
ly every artist who has been inspired
to sketch the Indian has put a horse
under him. So probably the artists
themselves are to blame for the com
mon impression that the horse and the
- red man have always been inseparabhle,
when as a matter of fact, Columbus
~had come and gone long before the
horse had found his place in the new
world. The Indian’s acquaintance
with the horse dates hack to the visits
of Cortez, Coronado and De Soto, all
~of whom came equipped with horses,
The last two, threading their way
through the new land, had many horses
in their trains. These escaping, be
came the nucleus of the wild herds
that later comers found here.—Clark
Wissler in the American Indian Mag
azine.
Pumpkin an American Plant.
The home of the pumpkin is believed
to be America. It has been found
growing wild in Mexico, and was un
der cuitivation by the aborigines in
Florida, Mexico and the West Indies.
when these regions were first visited
by Europeans. Doctor Gray, the
botanist, believed that all species ex
cept gourd squash are American,
' The species and varieties of this vege

What Is an Earthquake?
Nothing is more terrorizing than an
earthquake, in the presence of which
we stand powerless to act effectively.
Earthquakes are caused by rap’d vi
brations of the earth’s interior. The
displacements—that is, the amplitude
of the vibrations—in the great
majority of earthquakes is only
the fraction of’ 8 millimeter.
When it exceeds four or five
ndillimeters the quake is destructivel
Tremors of the earth’s crust are meas
ured by means of delicate instruments
known as ‘“‘seismographs,” which are
freely swinging pendulums, so placed
that they trace markings upon paper,
which the tracing needle just touches.
These modern instruments do not only
tell when an earthquake has occurred,
but they record tremors in all parts
of the world, and one of the highly
significant facts brought to light by
this means is that minute and “in
sensible” tremors of the earth are al
most constant and some at least of
these tremors consist'in three series of
waves—the first and second phases
being the “preliminary” tremors, and
the larger waves the “main sheck.”—
Hereward Carrington in Leslie’s.
Best “Get-Rich-Quick” Scheme.
There is no better guarantee to sue
ress than just plain honest-to-goodness
work. It may take longer to win the
publie, but when vou have won it you
have won to stay. After an article has
a definite market folks learn to depend
upon it, and new articles have to earn
their right to even a place in competi
tion. llt’s this constant production of
the worth-while thing that puts both
vou and your business on the commer
cial map. There are all sorts of at
; tractions to the econtrary, but there is
' no get-rich-quick scheme that can take
the place of honest, consistent, per
sistent efforts.—Exchange. ;
Primavera Mahogany.
Mahogany is the name of the timber
of a number of absolutely unrelated
trees. A government bulletin on true
mahogany does not mention primavera
mahogany, which is a Mexican tree be
longing to the family Bignoniaceae. It
Is called Primavera from its early
flowering, which resembles a bright
vellow cioud in the top of the tree be
fore the leaves are out. The tree is a
native of Mexico and Central Ameri
| ca. Its wood is also known as white
[m:lhlw:my and has bheen used since
| 1885 for eabinet and furniture making
] in the United States.
