II., where Mrs. Wilson and her (laughters will go for the summer. The president, it was said, hesitated some time before deciding to go so far away from Washington. His inclina tion was to rent a cottage at Sea Girt, IS’. j„ where he spent most of last summer. In abandoning this plan, however, he was influenced, it was said* by the consideration that his presence might tend to detract from the dignity of Governor Fielder, who, following the custom of other state executives, will spend a part of the hot season there. Still another Impor tant consideration was that the presi dent felt that he would be overrun with political visitors at Sea Girt and would have practically no rest if he went there. it ft A GREAT SW ISS PARK Switzerland is about to establish the largest national park in Europe. It is located In the canton of Grisons and haa an area of nearly eighty square miles. There are fourteen national parks In the United States, and seventeen other locations have been reserved from en try and set aside as national monu menta. * * BIG CAVE IN UTAH With what appear to be prehistoric hieroglyphics carved on its walls, a mammoth cave was discovered near Ogden, Utah, by Thomas Whitaker, a rancher, who led a party of University of Utah professors on a tour of inves tigation. The cave is situated in the moun tains near Promontory point, eight eeu miles from Ogden, and had prob ably never before been visited by white men, as the surrounding coun try is a bleak desert. The front cham ber of the series is 75 by 150 yards in Rlze, forty-one feet high, and the walls bear pictures of Indians, crudely drawn. There is an Indian legend in the lo cality to the effect that a great battle was fought years ago between two tribes near the lailnt, the vanquished having perished in a cave. * It TO MAKE TAR8 HAPPIER (Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan- lels has been at work on a scheme for the greater contentment of the blue jacket In the navy.

A few of them are: A definite allowance, announced In ad vance, of an average of a week’s over haul at anchor for a week’s under way.

Very much is heard nowadays about the increased and Increasing cost of living. Prices for many things, par ticularly for food of nearly every kind, have been rising steadily for thirteen years. The general level of prices for food stuffs h^s risen so high this winter that the flood has brokeu over its batiks, and the United States govern ment is taking a hand in tvylug to check it. The matter simply bolls down to this: There are too many people in the large cities and too few people ou the farms and In the small cities and town'. The tendency of the age is toward the swelling of city population aud the shrinking of country population. In some states there are many aban doned farms. In all states there arc splendid areas of fertile land unculti vated. Thousauds of farmers own a great deal more laud than they need They cultivate but a small part of their holdings, leaving the rest Idle. Farmers’ boys migrate to the cities like Wills in flocks. Young men and women and older persons, too, leave the towns und go to the cities because the towns offer them less ami less in ducement in the way of employment or business. And why? Here's where you should stick your pin II is because millions of farmers’ families fail to help support thoir home towns properly by trailing with the local merchants They buy u great deal of their clothing, household good- even groceries, from the mail order stores ' Rack to the farm\' Is the sensible slogan for the crusuders against high prh-es to use Populate the farms.

Jacob would not listen to any pro posal concerning Benjamin, The plan of returning to Egypt had therefore to be postponed until the supply of grain was exhausted It must have been a sad home, for they were all anticipat ing misfortune. The famine had not vet ceased, and the brothers knew that sooner or Inter they would have to go for more grain. They also knew- that It would be absurd to appear before the governor of Egypt and not redeem their pledge. Judah now made a prop osition and laid himself under obliga tion, as his brother Reuben had done, to be personally responsible for the safe return home of Benjamin. \When Jacob finally saw that there was no other alternative he submitted and urged that a present should be taken to appease the apparent harshness of the governor and to win his favor. He was also particular that they should carry double money and the money that was returned, so as to guard against arty difficulty that might unex pectedly arise. And so, commending them to the care of God, El Shaddai— tlie Sufficient One—he sent them forth. * * • The sight of Benjamin warmed the heart of Joseph unspeakably. * • * The men were afraid.\ They did not know what to make of It and suspect ed that it was a scheme to force them Into slarery on the charge of theft ■because of the money that was re turned in our sacks.” Without delay they explained this matter to the stew ard, protesting their innocence and of fering to pay ft *in full weight\ * * • Their fear* were set at rest >7 the steward, who said. ”1 had your mon ey/* no that what was found fn their racks was a gift o f God.

No one sus pected the actual reason, and indeed no one would have questioned any thing (hat he did. ‘ His heart yearned over his brother.” and so he sought the solitude of his room to find relief in tears. “Refrained himself.” After he had indulged his emotion* he came back to them, calm and collected, and ordered that the rneal should be served.

The moonlit plain over which he was driving, the serene heavens through which the queen of night was slowly moving, the glitter ing stars, were far more attractive than a woman who would not talk. Nolan drove on, occupied with his own thoughts, and was gradually forgetting his companion, when, happening to turn his head sidewise, he caught a flash of moonlight reflected from some polished surface tiehrnd him. .Vow, there was nothing in the fight of the round disk fn the heavens to stir any emotions within John Nolan ex cept those erf the most serene character Why. then, should these few reflected rays, this momenta ry gutter, cause bis heart to stand still and a cedd shfrer lo rtra down Ms back?

The moment she picked it up Nolan started on. The woman, seeing thurfq she had linen tricked, ran for tho wagon. Then began a race which Nolan feared was one between life and death. His horse, which was merely a hack, broke into a lope, hut made no great speed. The woman, on tlie contrary, ran swiftly and in a few minutes caught hold of tbe tailboard erf the wagon.
