Easy Thing to Work
A traveler staying at a small hotel
wished to catch an early morning train
and asked the proprietress for the loan
of an alarm clock. She produced the
clock nnd remarked: "We dor't often
use It, sir, and sometimes* It sticks a
bit, but If It doesn't go off Just touch
that little hammer and It'll ring all

Butterfly Links
in Guam
By R. C. KENAMORE
(Copyright.)
Op HIS story 18 told for the purpose
of preserving the fame of Wli
llum Emory Hallowell, the man who
made golf possible In Guam.
Golf took like anything in Guam
when the first sticks and balls were
brought in, and we who were ma
rooned there set about providing a
suitable course.
But as soon as everything begun to
shape up nicely, troubles began to
spring up like the rank vegetation
of that prolific islund. Indeed, the
vegetation was the greatest bother.
If we had put enough men at work
on the eighteen-hole course to keep
It clear, we would have bankrupted
the insular government. It would
have required a small army all the
time.
The grass grew so fast that a close
ly cropped green would cover a ball
the second day, and we lost so many
bulls that we exhausted the visible
supply, which was not large to sturt
with.
Hallowel! was connected wlih the
Department of Agriculture for the
United States government, and he
knew a lot of things. One day as 1
left the links, 1 saw him In a little
shelter house where we hung our
coats. lie did not notice me, but I
noticed him and saw the light of ge
nius in his eye. Next day he came
swinging across the grass, making
commotions In the ^warms of butter
flies and seeming very joyful.
He came to the first tee and called
us nil about him. Then he made a
little flamboyant speech, calling him
self the Deliverer of Guam and tell
ing us where he wished his monument
erected when he had been called from
us. "Observe closely," he commanded
as a magician would. Then he drew
a golf bail from one pocket, and from
another a small jar with a screw top,
such as iadies keep on their dressing
tables. He rubbed some of the Jelly
like contents of the jar on the bull,
teed It up and drove off.
Casually noting the direction, he
turned to us a3 an orator.
"My dear friends, you will -now
kindly follow me. I lend you to your
deliverance." He strode off through
the ankle-deep grass swinging his club
as gaily as a fairy would a wand.
A hundred yards away was a cloud
of blue butterflies, apparently swarm
ing over some object on the ground.
He walked into the- Iluttery mass,
brushed aside the grass, and there
was his ball.
We cheered in good fashion then,
for we saw the hall-mark of inspi
ration. We knew that he had for
ever eliminated the lost-ball trouble
if lie could make the butterflies follow
the ball, for there are more butterflies
than anything else in Guam.
Then William Emory condescended
to explain. He had carefully examined
Into the habits of the large, swift, blue
butterflies, and had learned that they
fed exclusively upon the honey in a
little brown flower that we came la
ter to call the Foozler's lily. Then it
was simple. He employed some na
lives to bring him a quantity of this
plant and extracted the honey in some
way of his own. This, made Into a
sort of paste, was the stuff he rubbed
on the ball. Its strong and rather
pleasant odor attracted the butterflies
and all In Hie vicinity flew to the bull
when it stopped, setting a waving
flag, as it were, on the ball's lie.
Hallowell was a hero for days, and
we gave liiin a very successful supper
in the commandant's quarters. He
went stolidly ahead with his work, but
found time to analyze the honey and
compound a satisfactory substitute
which could be made by a chemist,
thus eliminating the native flower
gatherer nuisance.
We named the course the Butterfly
Links in his lienor, and the wife of
a consular ngent created a decided
stir at a lawn party one afternoon
l>y putting some of the honey on the
top of her hat. She moved about tin
grounds with an aurora of blue but
terflies above her. It happened by
the merest chance, that blue was the
color most becoming to her. I
But It wiis- two years before the
accomplishment was announced, which
finally assured Ilollowell of immortal
ity. We usually played up to the verj j
moment of nightfall.
Halloweil asked us nil, there %as j
such a pitifully small colony at best,
to stay tintII dark. We did, expecting
new wonders. We asked If he had
discovered the favorite tipple of the
fireflies, and similar silly questions,
bnt he maintained a becoming reserve.
When darkness had come, he had
a lantern swung on the flrsj flag and
went to the tee. even as he had
done two years before. He smeared
some paste on his hall and drove off.
as he had done two years before, but
we refused to be impressed, ns we
saw that every day
ite ioofcc-u luwurtl Ihe lautern ano
were positively dumbfounded to se?
a (rent commotion among the fire
flies. We ran to the little luminous
cloud not fur from the dug, for linl
lowell played a credible game, anc
ills bull was there.
Some one caught one of the Are
flies and the secret was out That
wonderful man hud actually succeedec
in crossing the fireflies and the but
terflies In such manner that tliej
kept their taste for the honey anc
their light, too.
After that, we spent our evening?
in playing golf and telling Hullowel
what a great man he was.
Spring Month Named
After Greek Goddess
Mala, the Greek goddess for whom
lie Itomuns named the lovely spring
nonth, was the oldest of t lie l'leiades,
;r seven daughters of Atlas and Oce
?niil I'lelone. She and her sister, who
vere born on Mount Cyllene In Arca
Jla, according to (Jreek mythology, are
sometimes culled the goddesses of the
?Mountains.
Mala became the mother of Mercury,
?nd wus greutly loved by the old Uo
aians, who, on the first day of May,
nude sacrifices In her name. In Italy
11 she wus known as Mua Mupesta, the
(oddess of spring.
If you will watch the sky on a spring
evening, you will see the six stars
ivhlch form the Pleiades. The old
3reeks believed that Jupiter placed
VInia and her six sisters together In
(he sky, and that they formed for a
long time a group of seven. One day
Myrope married a mortal named Sisy
phus, who In some way displeased the
gods. For punishment he was con
demned to spend eternity rolling a
stone uphill, so that Myrope hid her
face from her sisters in sorrow and
shame. That Is why we see but six of
the daughters of Atlas shining in the
sky; for Myrope's face is still con
cealed behind one of her sister stars.?

Scottish City Goes
Far Back in History
The city of Glasgow, the metropolis
of Scotland, had its origin In the Sixth
century, when St. Kentlgern founded
a small religious establishment on the
hanks of a tiny stream which flows
Into the Clyde at a point where the
Scottish city now stands.
Christianity was then unknown In
that part of Scotland, and Kentlgern
was the first to introduce the faith
among the rude people inhabiting that
section. Beside the clearing In the
forest where he built his home he
hung on a tree a bell which was rung
to summon the savage inhabitants to
i worship, and thus it came about that
a tree with a bell appears on the arms
of Glasgow.
The saint had trouble later on with
, the king of the Strathclyde Britons and
had to flee to Wales. Later he re
turned, and after his death, at an ad
vanced age, was buried at the spot
where now stands the great cathedral
hearing his name.
As "Will" Would Say It
Jones and Jenks were arguing about
Shakespeare. Jones contended- the
hard was a genius, and Jenks scoffed
at It. "Genius, nothing," he said.
'All he had was a big vocabulary.
Anyone that applied himself to it
could duplicate Shakespeare's stuff. I
could do it myself." At that moment
two very bow-legged men turned the
corner and walked toward the dispu
tants. "Here's a ?hftnce to show how
good y<5U ftfe, said 5ones. "Mow
would you describe those two fel
lows?" "That's easy," said Jenks.
"There's only one way to describe
them; Shakespeare himself couldn't
say anything but 'Here come two bow
legged men.'" It was what Jones
was waiting for. "He couldn't, eh?
Shakespeare would have said: 'Ho!
What manner of men are these, with
'egs that could serve "as parentheses'1"
Simple "Cradle" Used
in Placer Mining
In mining, "placer" is a place where
deposits of precious metal usually
gold, are found near the surface,
often In the gravel of river or crcek
beds. The mineral is obtained by
washing the gravel or pay dirt; that
is. separating the gold-dust from the
gravel and earth with which It Is
mixed. This kind of mining is called
placer mining, and it Is in this kind
of mining that the miner's cradle Is
used. The cradle Is a simple appli
ance for treating "pay dirt," earth and
urarel containing gold-dust. It con
sists essentially of a box mounted <?n
rockers and provided with a ier
forated bottom of sheet iron In which j
the "pay dirt" Is placed. Water is
poured on the dirt and the rocking mo
tion Imparted to the cradle causes the
finer particles to pass through the per
forated bottom on to a canvas screen,
and thence to the base of the cradle,
where the gold-dust accumulates on
transverse bars of wood caijod "rifflps."
Thousand* of Years
of Prayerf Answered
I met hlui gome eighteen years ago
n Ihe Alps on the Great Saint l$er
aard, about ten miles from the top
if the pass. Here I found my
tail old monk. As 1 joined the group
?round ldtu 1 heard him say to oiie of
'.hern:
"How much finer and better It is to
rross the range up here by the Pass
than to go through the smoky tunnel
oelow. And even in snowstorms now _
't is safe. For you see that telephone
?n the wall. The wire goes to an inn
ten miles lower down the pass. And
In times of storm, when a traveler
leaves the inn, they telephone up to
us here and one of us goes down with
the dogs. So we reach Jiim before he
is overcome."
"Hut are no lives losi in winter?"
inquired a young American.
"No?not a life in many years." The
tall old man was silent a moment.
Then in a reverent tone lie said. "For
>ver a thousand years, my son, we
have prayed for the safety of travel
ers here. And He has answered our
prayers at last."
The smart young American asked,
"Or was it the telephone?"
The old mountain climber turned and
looked at the Yankee- with quiet eyes.
"Yes, my son?that is how God an
swered our prayers."?Ernest Poole In
Hearst's International-Cosmopolitan.
Tributes Genius Has
Paid to Human Voice
Shakespeare says:
"Her voice was ever soft, gentle
md low; an excellent thing in woman."
Charles Lamb says:
"How often you are drawn irre
sistibly to a plain, unassuming woman,
whose soft, silvery tones render her
positively attractive! In the social
circle, how pleasant it is to hear a
woman talk in that low key which al
ways characterizes the true ladjf. In
the sanctuary of home, how such a
voice soothes the fretful child and
cheers the weary husband!"
Longfellow says:
"How wonderful Is the human voice I
It is Indeed the organ of the soul I
The Intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye; and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals Itself in the voice only, as God
revealed Himself to the prophet of old,
in 'the still, small voice,' and in a
voice from the burning bush. The
soul of man is audible not visible. A
sound alone betrays the flowing of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man 1"
Famous French Palace
The Louvre is a famous palace In
Paris originally the residence of
French kings, but since the French
revolution used as a museum of art
and antiquities. The Louvre derives
its name from an ancient hunting
chateau that stood on the site of the
present palace, in the midst of a for
est infested with wolves and known
as the Louverie. It Is said to have
been a royal residence In the time of
Dagobert (028). The foundation of
the present building was laid by Fran
cis I In 1541, and the structure was
enlarged and adorned by successive
kings, particularly Henry IV and Louis
J XIV, the latter being the last king to
live In It. The work of uniting the
Louvre and the Tuileries in one struc
ture was completed in 1857; and the
combined Louvre and Tuileries covers
an area of 48 acres.?Kansas City

Recognized Joke?
The Scots are making an effort to
stop the hoary old joke that they
never spend any money. Scientists
who have gone Into the antiquity of
Jokes and made a study of the sub
ject say that there are only about six
original examples and that all humor
is based on them. Old jokes come
back into style or else appear wearing
new habiliments. Excursions into new
I fields sometimes are dangerous and un
I profitable. The plumber Joke may not
have been one of the early sextet, but
It has been a favorite not only with
[the almanacs, but with the comic
| strippers and the higher class weekly
funny magazines. If the plumber Joke
i has to go, the Joke writers merely
will understand that they have one
less subject upon which to work.
Value of Courtesy
Courtesy is the one medium of ex
change that Is always accepted at par
l-ry the people of every country on the
elobe. Courtesy radiates a spirit of
?ood feeling and suggests that we are
not working entirely for the material
returns of work, but for the friendly
j human associations as well. Life Is
not too short, and we are never too
j busy to be courteous.
Courtesy is the outward expression
and an inward consideration for oth
prs Is always an effective lubricant
that smooths business and 'social re
lationships, eliminating friction.?
