The 6ages and statesmen of those days were athletes and artists as well. Ilierocles, the Greek disciple of Pythagoras, in: interpreting the gol'den verses of His teacher,, reasoned that the body was the temple of , the soul, then subordinate subor-dinate thereto, and the soul was the shrine of the spirit, hence its inferiority. -It waajneet, therefore, that the spirit be accorded first honors and noblest service and culture, that the-Jesser powers of the soul receive riext rank, and the body, the humblest q all, man's instruments, be given the lowest place, occupy 4k. 4 l..Ui uic nam iiiisuiii.

Aunt Rhinocolura Bets Is known from one end of this county to the other as the social leader ot Bets- vllle.'and this ta not because abe la distinguished by baring the only auto matic cork leg In the village, but because be-cause she cannot bear to see aoyone unhappy. She spends her life in mak ing people happy, and that la why her pink teas are so talked about. It'a hosteaa bad no more life than, a corpse her eoclal functions are apt, to resemble re-semble a funeral " One reason Aunt Rhinocolura waa so fond of her dog Fido waa because be waa feuch a happy dog. and every morning he would come to ber bd-alde bd-alde and wag hla tall, and at a tingle word from Aunt Rhinocolura be would run and bring her cork leg. wagging bla tall all the time. Everyone loved Fido. because he win o cheerful and such a continuous tall-wagser. Whenever When-ever things got a little alow at Aunt Rblnocolura'a social functions, she would aend out lor Fido, and the hole gang of society ladles and gents would ait around and watch Fido wag hla Ull. . About a month ago a change came orwr Fido. -Aunt Rhrnocotnra awoka one morning and Fido waa not at her bedside. 8be thought this strange, but abe hopped on one foot to where her cork leg reposed, and put It on and d rented, and then went Jo find Fido, but when she found him he did not seem like the aame dog He prang at ber with aa angry growl, and bit her on the leg, and might have Injured ber severely, had It been the other leg. Aa It waa, he made several sev-eral ugly dents in the leg.

It waa eaay to aee the tall, for that remained quit Immobile, but Fido wagged at the rate of about l.oofi wags a minute, and all one could eee of him waa a sort of streak, aa he wagged bark and forth. He wagged aa rapidly aa a hummingbird's wing only more so. Such vivid wagging waa never aeen la Betsvlile. Arlo waa more than pleased.

Later he tried newapaper wtrk. becoming. In course of time, financial editor of the Chicago Tribune. After that he started a paper of his own, the Economist : In 1896. came he Moore Brothers' failure. Mr. Vanderllp heard of it at the house of P. D.
