FIVE SPEEDERS WERE HALTED SUNDAY Five speeding motorists felt the clutches of the dragnet thrown out in Bvanston Sunday for those violat- ing the speed law. Four of the five were given fines. None of the speeders caught here were residents of Bvanston. Some Bvanstonians were taken in other places, however, and the two local men arrested In Highland Park learned that their rides were rather expensive. J. MacLean of this city drove his car through Highland Park at the rate of seventeen miles an hour. He was arrested and pleaded guilty be- fore Police Magistrate C. G. Phillips. He was fined $17 and costs. R. Jensen, also of this city, had a more expensive ride. He drove his motorcycle through the town at a thirty-two mile an hour clip and was likewise arrested.

The girl ran into the road and was struck by the machine. Several bad bruises, which will have no serious results, were re- ceived. Witnesses to the accident say that Nelson was not at fault. The case was settled out of court. CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY A SOAP REBELLION. By A. W. MACY. Soap was one of the factors that contributed to the downfall of Charles I. of England. He was always In need of money, and was In the habit of grant- ing monopolies for the manufac- ture and sale of various com- modities, charging the monopo- lists good round sums for their privileges. The scheme worked well, and he realized something like £200,000 from this source. The practice aroused a great deal of opposition, however. About 1630 he granted a pat- ent to a company of soap makers, who were to be the sole manufacturers of that useful ar- ticle In England. They psld him £10,000 cash and £8 per ton for all soap produced. Then the women rose In rebellion. They, petitioned against It, complain- ing that the new sosp burned the linen, scalded the fingers snd wasted In keeping. Not be- ing able to get at Charles him- self, they clamorously be- sieged the lord-mayor of Lon- don, demanding that he do something for their relief. He shrank from meeting them, and was reprimanded by Charles for his cowardice. (Copyright, 1911. by Joseph B. Bowles.) TO ESTABLISH READING MOM IN T BUILDING It has been announced that the store room in the Y. M. C. A. build- ing, recently vacated by the Public Service company, will be rented by the Jgvauston church. The room will be used as a read- ing room. It has been vacant for less than a month, the Public Service company leaving when their new building on Church street was com- pleted. Didn't Conform. "Well," said the grouchy old dad, "here is the money you've been coax- ing me for. 1 ought not give you a cent, but I'm doing it to get rid of you. Tou are a spendthrift, six'â€"a spend- thrift. But rememberâ€"a fool and his money are soon parted." "I don't see how you make that out. guv-nor," an- swered the youngster, pocketing the check. "T've been tormenting you for this money for more than two weeks." POLICE CATCH TWO SPEEDING MOTORISTS As a reward for keeping a close watch on automobilists, the police were rewarded Friday when two speeders were taken as they were driving their cars through Evanston faster than the law allow*. Murray Btillwaugh of Chicago and W. A. Kittennaster of Glencoe were the men arrested. Stillwaugb was fhied $6 and costs by Police Magis- trate Boyer. The case against the Glencoe man was dismissed. Animals That Count. There are human beings, such as Inhabitants of the Murray islands in the Straits of Torres, that cannot count further than two. But, most surprising still, most animals possess calculating abilities, and several nave a distinct appreciation of number. In certain mines of Halnault the horses are so used to traversing the same road thirty times that after their last round they go to the stable of their own accord and refuse to take an- other step. Montaigne says that the oxen employed in tne royal gardens of Suae for turning the wheels to which the water pails were attached absolutely refused to make more than 100 rounds, which constituted their daily task. Simple Liniment. A simple liniment that Is good for a strained hack after a siege of house- work calls for four tablespoonfuls of strong ammonia, four tablespoonfuls of alcohol, two large tablespoonfuls of salt and about a quart of rain water. Put these ingredients into a bottle and shake well. As soon as the salt is dis- solved it Is ready for use. When need- ed rub the back with the liniment sad continue the rubbing until the surface Is warm with the friction. PERMIT* TO BUILD. Alterations, 1214 Church Owner, George W.

SPOKE OF RIGHT LIVING The Rev. Dr. W. T. McElveen was the speaker at the graduating exer- cises of the Evanston academy last Monday at Fisk hall. He spoke di- rectly to the graduates. "Life," he said, "Is a many-chaptered book. You have just finished one chapter. Tomorrow you begin another. You leave this school to go to another school. Some of you, I hope a great many, will go to college; for the very best preparation is none too good. "It pays to get ready well. Others of you will enter business, but that is another schoolâ€"the school of life. Into whatever school you go you must continue to learn. The more you know the more you will know there is more to know. Every truth you get acquainted with introduces you to another truth. The spirit of truth will guide you into more truth. The horizon will widen as you climb. Make Room for More. "And every bit of goodness you do will open the door to more good- ness to do. You will never arrive at the point beyond which improvement is not possible. You are chasing a flying goal. The nearer you get to it the further it is away from you. There is absolutely no telling all that you may know and all that you may become. You take so step upgrade that will prevent you taking a fur- ther step. How far can the self be developed? Nobody knows. Life's possibilities seem to be Infinite. And life's infinite possibilities have never bejen indicated save in the character of the eternal Son of God." Dr. McElveen told the students that God had a plan for each one of their lives to fulfill. "Each of you has some definite task to perform. An idle life is death anticipated. An un- productive man or woman is no better than a dead one and they are more. in the way. The young man or woman who doesn't believe in serv- ice doesn't believe in God. The churches talk a great deal about heresy and about orthodoxy. The one great heresy is selfishness. "Helpfulness, mercy, sympathy, brotherly kindness are always the finest orthodoxy. Religion is a unique thing. The only way to keep it is to give it away. And if you have no religion that is worth while giving away you have none that is worth while keeping. Intensive devo- tion to God means extensive sympa- thies with your fellowmen. Yqu can't be a son of God unless you are a helpful brother to your fellowmen." Expressed Hope. Dr. McElveen expressed the hope that some of the young people to whom he spoke would be ministers and missionaries, and that some others would be physicians and law- yers. "Remember," he said, "that whatever may be your vocation the chief business of life is to make the best and the most of yourself and to serve your own generation according to the will of God."
