The teacher was attempting to drill the class in the use of the word "felt." She expected some one of the children to say "The ice felt cold" or "The stove felt hot" or something of the sort. She was much discouraged when one little alien who had raised his hand to volunteer a sentence said: "I felt downstairs."—Boston Post. Origin of Chdatening Shire Origin of Christening Ships. The ceremony of christening ships is a survival of a barbarian custom when sacrifices were made to the gods, and some living victim or offering was held up and its throat cut so that the blood flowed over the prow of the ship being launched. The vessel was baptized in warm blood. Now sprinkling wine or pure water is used, and the change has many advantages, though the symbolism remains. All Weather Good.

Reporter. of the Fear Forgotten as Men Grapple to Death © AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Novelist In Letters Home Describes Emotions Under Fire. "Poor, Lonely, People, So Brave and So Anonymous In Their Death! Somewhere There Is a Woman Who Loved Each One of Them"—Thus the Dead of the Battlefield Appeal to Him. CONINGSBY DAWSON, English novelist, resident in the United "I dare say you'll wonder how it feels to be under shell fire. This is how it feels. You don't realize your danger until you come to think about it afterward. At the time it's like playing cocoanut shies at a negro's head, only you're the head. You take too much interest in the sport of dodging to be afraid." Describes a Battlefield. One of the best passages in the entire collection of letters is this description of a battlefield as it is in northern France today: "Oh, if I get back how different shall write!" he exclaims in an letter, and he adds: "When you've faced the worst many forms you lose your fear arrive at peace. There's a marigoldeur about all this carnage desolation—men's souls rise about distress—they have to in order to vive. When you see how cheap bodies are you cannot help but that the body is the least part of sonality. " "I plan novels galore and w whether I shall ever write the novelist, resident in the United States, was busy trying to follow up the success of his novel, "A Garden Without Walls," when the war came. He realized that as he was a Briton of military age it it was his duty to put literature behind him and fight for his country. Delaying only long enough to finish some work which he had promised his publishers, he crossed from this country into Canada and there qualified as an officer in the Canadian forces. Shipped thence across the ocean last summer, he found himself, after only a short stay in England, plunged without further ado into the hell on the Somme. For months thereafter he dealt and dodged death from morning to night, with scarcely the time to get a really good wash or change of clothes. He saw men killed a few feet from him; saw corpses by the hundred lying in hideously lifelike postures amid the black mud of shell holes, and, faithful to his profession as a writer, he fought with the full strength of his intellect to grasp and visualize and set down on paper the terrific impact of new and horrible impressions which the war brought to him. He could not do it. Who can? But Coningsby Dawson, novelist, has given us something better than a novel in his latest volume, "Carry On," made up of letters from the trenches to members of his family on this side of the Atlantic, collected by his father. He makes you see the reactions to the war of a civilian in uniform, a man accustomed to the ease of life who is abruptly plunged into carnage and burbarism and stench. "This war will be won by tired men who will never again pass an insurance examination," is one of the phrases, one of many, that flash the Somme horror to his readers. And throughout the book the novelist remains always a writer. In a candle lit dugout, with shells screaming overhead, he tries to plan the novel of tomorrow. Coningsby Dawson sailed for Europe last July. "I've become a little child again in God's hands," he wrote to his family after months of training in a Canadian camp, "with full confidence in his love and wisdom and a growing trust that whatever he decides for me will be the best and kindest." A short two months later he was in northern France, hurled without easy gradations into the midst of the carnage of the Somme. In one of his first letters he wrote to his sister: "It's extraordinary how commonplace war becomes to a man who is thrust among others who consider it commonplace. Not fifty yards away from me a dead German lies rotting and uncovered. I dare say he was buried once and then blown out by a shell." Admiration for the coolness of the men engaged in the deadly work constantly overcame the young novelist as he grew to know his comrades better. "If unconscious heroslum is the virtue most to be desired," he wrote to his father last September, "and heroslum spiced with a strong sense of humor at that, then pretty well every man I have met out here has the amazing guts to wear his crown of thorns as though it were a cap and bell's." And in the same letter he gave this description of being under fire: "I dare say you'll wonder how it feels to be under shell fire. This is how it feels: You don't realize your danger until you come to think about it afterward. At the time it's like playing cocoanut shies at a negro's head, only you're the head. You take too much interest in the sport of dodging to be afraid." Describes a Battlefield One of the best passages in the entire collection of letters is this description of a battlefield as it is in northern France today: "Well, I've seen my first modern battlefield and am quite disillusioned about the splendor of war. The splendor is all in the souls of the men who creep through the squailor like vermin—it's in nothing external. * * * "A modern battlefield is the abomination of abominations. Imagine a vast stretch of dead country, pitted with shell holes as though it had been mutilated with smallpox. There's not a leaf or a blade of grass in sight. Every house has either been leveled or is in ruins. No bird sings. Nothing stirs. The only live sound is at night—the sourry of rats. "You enter a kind of ditch, called a trench. It leads on to another and another in an enjoyable maze. From the sides feet stick out, and arms and faces—the dead of previous encounters. 'One of our chaps,' you say casually, recognizing him by his boots or khaki, or 'Poor blighter—a Hun.' One can afford to forget enmity in the presence of the dead. "It is horribly difficult sometimes to distinguish between the living and the slaughtered—they both lie so silently in their little kennels in the earthen bank. You push on especially if you are doing observation work, till you are past your own front line and out in No Man's Land. You have to crouch and move warily now. "Zing! A bullet from a German sniper. You laugh and whisper, 'A near one, that.' "My first trip to the trenches was up to No Man's Land. I went in the early dawn and came to a Mme. Tussaud's show of the dead, frozen into immobility in the most extraordinary attitudes. Some of them were part way out of the ground, one hand pressed to the wound, the other pointing, the head sunken and the hair plastered over the forehead by repeated rains. I kept on wondering what my companions would look like had they been three weeks dead. My imagination became ingeniously and vividly morbid. When I had to step over them to pass it seemed as though they must clutch at my trench coat and ask me to help. "Poor, lonely people, so brave and so anonymous in their death! Somewhere there is a woman who loved each one of them and would give her life for my opportunity to touch the poor clay that had been kind to her. It's like walking through the day of resurrection to visit No Man's Land. "Then the Huns see you, and the shrapnel begins to fall. You crouch like a dog and run for it." Soon after that a terrifying adventure befell the novelist, of which he makes light in a letter to his mother; "Today I had the funniest experience of my life—got caught in a Hun curtain of fire and had to lie on myummy for two hours in a trench with the shells bursting five yards from me—and never a scratch. You know how I used to wonder what I'd do under such circumstances. Well, I laughed. All I could think of was the sleek people walking down Fifth avenue and the equally sleek crowds taking tea at the Waldorf. It struck me as ludicrous that I, who had been one of them, should be living there lunchless." "Oh, if I get back how differently I shall write" he exclaims in another letter, and he adds: "When you've faced the worst in so many forms you lose your fear and arrive at peace. There's a marvelous grandeur about all this carnage and desolation—men's souls rise above the distress—they have to in order to survive. When you see how cheap men's bodies are you cannot help but know that the body is the least part of personality. * * * "I plan novels galore and wonder whether I shall ever write them the way I see them now. My imagination is to an extent crushed by the stupendousness of reality. I think I am changed in some stern spiritual way—stripped of flabbiness. I am perhaps harder—I can't say. That I should be a novelist seems unreasonable—it's so long since I had my own way in the world and met any one on artistic terms." Here is a fine passage in a letter to his sister: "The great uplifting thought is that we have proved ourselves men. In our death we set a standard which in ordinary life we could never have followed. I inevitably we should have sunk below our highest self. Here we know that the world will remember us and that our loved ones, in spite of tears, will be proud of us. What God will say to us we cannot guess, but he can't be too hard on men who did their duty." He relates some terrible anecdotes of the front, among which the worst is this: "I met a solitary private wandering across a shell torn field. I watched him and thought something was wrong by the aimlessness of his progress. When I spoke to him he looked at me mistily and said: 'Dead men. Moonlit road.' He kept on repeating the phrase, and it was all that one could get out of him. Probably the dead men and the moonlit road were the last sights he had before he went insane." "I don't know whether I have been able to make any of my emotions clear to you in my letters," says Coningsby Dawson, writing after months of constant fighting. "Terror has a terrible fascination. Up to now I have always been afraid—afraid of small fears. At last I meet fear itself, and it stings my pride into an unpremeditated courage." And in a letter to his father he strikes forth this graphic bit: "I've owed you a letter for some time, but I've been getting very little leisure. You can't send steel messages to the kaiser and love notes to your family in the same breath." Washed Dishes at the Table. In former centuries a cistern for the washing of dishes at the table was part of the furniture of a well appointed dining room in England. The plates were rinsed in it when necessary during the meal. Pepys in his diary tells of purchasing a pewter cistern as part of his preparations for a dinner of state. A magnificent silver cistern is still preserved in the dining room at Burghby House, the seat of the Marquis of Exeter. Curious Beehives. In the village of Hoefel, Silesia, there are a number of beehives in the shape of life size figures cleverly carved in wood and painted in colors. The figures were carved more than a century ago by monks of the Naumburg monastery, who were at that time in possession of a large farm in the district. The beehives represent different characters, ranging from Moses to a military officer, a country girl and a night waterman with a spear. Information for Farmers CULTIVATION OF CORN. Too Frequent Stirring of the Ground When Dry May Do Harm. Cultivation is of greatest importance in the early growth of corn, according to L. E. Call, professor of agronomy in the Kansas State Agriculture college. The harrow may often be used to advantage after planting on both listed and surface planted corn, but when the shoots of the surface planted corn are just out of the ground it is not best to harrow again until the corn is two or three inches high. Weeds that are just germinating or that have not yet obtained a good root hold on the soil are easily killed by light cultivation with the harrow or the weeder. The lister cultivator is admirably adapted for cultivating listed corn. Ordinarily it is used twice, once with the disks set to throw the soil away from the corn and once with the disks set to throw it toward the corn. It is important that the cultivator be set to kill or cover all the weeds in the row. Those which escape the early cultivation cannot, as a rule, be destroyed later. The shovel cultivator is used in cultivating corn after it becomes too high to harrow or, in the case of listed corn, after the ridges have been worked down with the lister cultivator. The number of cultivations depends on the type of soil, on the distribution of the rainfall and on whether the weeds are unusually numerous. Experiments show that from three to six cultivations are as many as are practical. Too frequent stirring of the ground, especially when it is dry, may do harm, in that the dusty condition of the soil is effective in keeping rainwater from entering the soil readily. The ideal condition in which to maintain the soil is to have a mulch two or three inches deep, composed of small lumps mixed with small granules and reasonably free from dust. On the average it is best to cultivate two or three inches deep. While the plants are small and before the roots occupy the space between the rows the ground may be stirred deeply with good results. After the roots have permeated all the soil it should not be cultivated to a depth of more than three inches. An extra cultivation or two with a one horse cultivator may be given to advantage if rains have heavily crested the soil after the corn has been "inlid by" and if a crop of weeds is starting. When the ground is in good tilth and reasonably free from weeds nothing is gained by cultivation after the ordinary "laying by" time. Late cultivations should always be shallow to avoid damaging the corn crops. PURE BREDS PAY. No Profit In Raising Dairy Heifers of Scrub Breeding. Raising dairy heifers as commonly practiced by farmers is a money losing proposition, as shown by cost account records kept by the Ohio agricultural experiment station in thirty herds. The keeping of inferior stock is discouraged. An average loss of $6.90 a head was figured on 361 calves raised to a year old. A further loss of $8.94 a head was found on raising 327 heifers from one to two years old. Only two dairy-men out of thirty made a profit on raising heifers to two years old. Methods of feeding these buffers are above those commonly practiced on most dairy farms. The loss must be even greater under systems having no close management. Such a loss could not be made up by scrub animals, but high grades and pure breeds bring prices above the cost of raising them. The disposal of inferior calves is one remedy to prevent such losses. Marketing Eggs Put your eggs in a good serviceable egg crate equipped with sound, clean fillers and flats. Keep them in a cool cellar or milk room until you take them to town. Market your eggs at least once a week and oftener if you have enough to make it practicable. Use dirty, weak shelled and misshaped eggs at home. They are all right if used right away, but are hard to handle on the way to the consumer. Learn to candle eggs. Learn how bad eggs look as seen before the candle and learn why eggs go bad. Your egg buyer will be glad to show you how. If possible sell to a buyer who pays more for good than for bad eggs.—University of Wisconsin. Time to Wean Lambs. Lambs should be weaned at from four to five months of age, depending somewhat on the condition of the ewes and the size of the lambs. Where they are large and growthy and the ewes thin the lambs may be weaned earlier in order that the ewes may be put in better condition before breeding. Where the lambs are small and the ewes in good condition, however, they may be allowed to run together longer. The lambs should be well fed at weaning time to avoid setbacks. Hens on Range. The hens out on range must be looked after. They are apt to hide their nests in some out of the way place, and in consequence many eggs are lost or never found until they have lost their value. Beware of the hidden nest, and above all things never market an egg that has been found outdoors; let the cook in your own kitchen test its quality. CARE OF THE PULLETS. Suitable and Abundant Food Necessary to Make Egg Producers. Whether the flock of pullets will produce eggs next winter when prices are high will depend, among other things, upon the care given to the flock in late summer and fail, writes a correspondent of the American Agriculturist. The most essential thing is to provide suitable food and plenty of it. Any of the various grains grown upon our farms will fill the bill, but it is best to have a variety. Oats are not as suitable as wheat because of the large amount of husks that cover the meats. Fowls will not eat this grain as readily as wheat and corn. There is nothing superior to wheat for the development of bone and muscle and the promotion of a general condition of health and vigor in the growing birds. We are taking it for granted that the flock has the free range of the fields. In this way not only will the flock secure a considerable portion of its food, grain that woulk; otherwise be lost, but the exercise taken in these hunting excursions is most beneficial in securing strong, vigorous, stocky layers. In this way, too, the much needed animal food, an essential part of a properly balanced ration for growing fowls, is secured at no extra expense to the owner. There is also a further saving made in preventing injury to crops through the destruction of vast numbers of bugs and insects gathered in by the flock. One summer our flock of about 100 Brown Leghorns had the free range of five and one-half acres of cucumber vines, and the greater share of the day was spent by them in hunting for bugs and other insect life that always propagate so freely during the summer months. When dressing the male birds our children would frequently call our attention to the large numbers of hard shelled bugs with which their crops were stuffed. The chickens appeared to be fond of cucumbers, and there was some loss in this way. However, by slicing the large, unsalable cucumbers and placing them where they were most handy the loss in this was not of any consequence. A flock of chickens must be working a good deal of harm before I should consider it profitable to coop them in pens. PLANT MORE CORN. The Most Effective Substitute For Wheat at Our Disposal. The most effective way to remedy the probable shortage in the wheat crop is to plant corn, says the United States department of agriculture. Ordinarily the quantity of corn produced in the United States is from three to four times the quantity of wheat, but only a very small portion of the crop, from 5 to 10 per cent, has been used for human food. This amount may be estimated in normal times at about 200,000,000 bushels a year. Not over 5 per cent has been exported in peace times. A relatively slight increase in the corn acreage therefore will place many millions of bushels more of human food at the disposal of the world without interfering in any way with the feed needed for the support of live stock. In the past, with an abundance of grain of other kinds, corn has not been in great demand for human consumption. But with other grains no longer abundant circumstances will compel more general recognition of the value of corn as human food. The department is urging strongly the wider use of corn in the diet. It is the best substitute for wheat that we have and can be utilized in brands, mushes and a variety of other ways. We should make every effort to avail ourselves of it. "Plant corn" then should be the motto of every farmer in a section suited to the crop. Creep For Pigs. A creep which the pigs can crawl under and get away from their mothers to eat will pay for the few hours spent in building it. They will waste less feed when they have only those of their own size to fight; they will get more to eat when the older hogs don't have a chance to drive them away from the frough, and they will learn to eat grain and skimmilk earlier if given a private dining room. HORSE WISDOM. Horsemen will soon need to be on their guard against overheating. Most cases of overheating can be prevented by keeping a few simple things in mind. Give at least a painful of water to each horse about 10 o'clock and again at 3 or 4 o'clock on a hot day. Be very careful with a horse that is a little out of health if you are working him on a hot day. Look out for a horse that, after sweating freely, suddenly stops sweating. Put such a horse in the shade as soon as possible and give a moderate drink. Do not put a horse not in good condition for hard work in the center of a four horse team in hot weather. Work carefully on a hot day when the atmosphere is moist and heavy. * A horse can hardly get too hot * to water, but one must regulate * the amount by the temperature * of the water. * Hank Gowdy Sets Pace. Harry H. (Hank) Gowdy, Gowdy, the Boston Braves catcher, set the pace for the major league players when he enlisted in the army recently. It is expected that Hank will remain with the Boston team until he is sent to a training camp. Gowdy obtain his first professional engagement with the Lancaster team of the Ohio State league, where he played first base for two years. He went to Dallas in 1910, but the following year found him with the Giants. John McGraw, however, trudged him, with Al Bridwell, to Boston for Charlie Herzog. Gowdy was sent to Buffalo under an optional agreement, where he played during 1912 and 1913. In 1914 he was back with the Braves as a catcher and immediately showed his real worth. The year proved his best, as he was the batting star in the world's series with the Philadelphia Athletics. Leonard Lost $5,000. Benny Leonard lost $5,000 recently when he battled Richie Mitchell in Milwaukee. And this is how it happened: When Billy Gibson signed up for the match with Promoter Tom Andrews he was given the privilege of taking a flat guarantee of $10,000 for Leonard's end or a privilege of 32 per cent. Billy mopped his classic brow and did a bit of thinking. "If Andrews wants to hand us that much money, flat guarantee, he must be figuring a monster house. Guess we'll take the per cent and make sure of it," said Billy. So they signed up on a percentage basis, and when the box office receipts were counted Leonard's end was a little over $5,000, for Milwaukee fans did not shake themselves loose in the manner that Gibson had expected. Although all of the Boston Braves pitcher have been faring badly this season, it is predicted that they will 1 Photo by American Press Association. Dick Rudolph. do better in warm weather. Dick Rudolph already is showing a return of his old time form. It will be recalled that it was as late as July in 1915 that the Braves made their phenomenal climb from the bottom of the percentage column to the top of the National league and then won the world's championship. Stallings says history may repeat. Why Wagner Retired. Hans Wagner has broken silence as to the real cause of his retirement from the diamond. He made his first visit to headquarters since the close of last season, and President Dreyfuss was surprised when the big Dutchman walked in. He gave the denial to stories that he was sore on the club management. The real reason for his retirement, he says, is the discovery of a valuable vein of coal on his property near Carnegie. Hans will devote his time to developing the black diamonds. Will Maintain Schedules Eight colleges composing the southern athletic conference will maintain their athletic schedules, at least until the war department makes a specific demand for service on the colleges. It was announced following a conference meeting at Atlanta. The schools represented were Georgia Tech, University of Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Swanee, Mercer, South Carolina and Mississippi A. and M. Ford Quits Baseball. Russell Ford, formerly with the New York Yankees and more recently on the pitching staff of the Denver club of the Western league, said he intended to quit organized baseball at once because he could "not get into form." He will return to his former employment, that of a draftsman in Denver. Ford is credited with the invention of the "emery ball."

AROUND THE HOUSE To prevent olive oil becoming rancid add two lumps of sugar to each quart as soon as opened. Steel wool and a neutral soap are good for removing discolorations from aluminum. Boiling in clear water to which a spoonful of vinegar has been added is also effective. A wire egg whip will beat a cake in less time and also make it of finer grain. Washing dishes in a wooden tub or bowl will spare them the chipping they so often get from a metal pan. Hot water, ammonia and a little washing powder will clean an oil mop after water and soap have failed. Old window shad when soaked and boiled clean to talk out the dressing make excellent roller and kitchen towels. Cucumbers are both wholesome and palatable served with French dressing, When beating eggs use a pinch of salt and they will be much lighter for the cake. It is said that a gas mantle will give a much brighter light if it is soaked in vinegar and hung up to dry before being used. A nice way to serve grapefruit is to garnish it with cubes of firm red and yellow jelly. Little bits of tomato add a delicious flavor to the omelet. A really good wringer should have a place in every laundry. Chocolate cake is one of the few cakes which may be made without eggs. HOME COOKERY. Cornbread. Two cupfuls of buttermilk, two cupfuls of cornmeal, one egg, well beaten; one-half teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of soda, three tablespoonfuls of flour, one tablespoonful of sugar. Put milk and egg into a bowl, add salt, soda, sugar, meal and flour, stirring gradually all the while. Beat for a few minutes. Have a shallow pan well greased and hot, pour in batter and bake fifteen minutes in moderate oven. If batter should be stiff add a little more milk. Spanish Rice Half a pound of rice, two large tomatos, two ounces of butter, two tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, pepper and salt to taste. Boil the rice tender in salted water. Drain well. Put the butter in a large casserole, melt it, add the sliced tomatoes and fry for five or six minutes. Then add the rice and the grated cheese and toss all well together till very hot. Potato Souffle Potato souffle is merely fresh mashed potato, hot and seasoned nicely and put into a heated casserole. Upon this pile the whites of two eggs which have been beaten very light. Salt the egg before beating. Set the casserole in the oven to brown the egg delicately. Do not have the oven too hot, and the egg will cook as well as brown. E! Philadelphia Record. Instruction and Amusement For Children SMARTLY SAID It is always easier to grab a good thing than to let go. Be economical, but not in a way to paralyze industry. The unwritten law is a poor excuse for breaking a written one. It is not necessary to look so plausant when answering the telephone if you do not speak in tones of a circus boss canvas man. When the dressmaker's bill comes in we learn that a goodly portion of the white man's burden is borne on the back of the wife. Cheerfulness. Cultivate a cheerful disposition. If a person determines early in life that a cheerful disposition is worth having and strives to obtain it and does so that person is a success in a fine sense of the word. Of course comparatively few men and women ever stop to think about success in this form, but if they will acquire the habit I will guarantee a larger measure of satisfaction than they may have met with before—Leigh Mitchell Hodges. One Chic Design. A charming little summer frock of rose color chiffon volle bonnets an apron of the material almost covered with conventionalized pansies in rose color floss. A deep band of embroblery finishes the skirt, and the bodice and sleeves are trimmed with it. Such a frock could be reproduced very inexpensively by the home seamstress, and it is delightfully pretty and summery in the sheer, soft volle. Keep Your Eye on the Present: Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt, crept in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. Today all is good and fair; It is too dear with its hopes and invitations to waste a moment on the yesterdays.—Emerson. Appreciation. Love never seems so clear and easy as when the heart is beating faster at the sight of some generous, self risking deed. We feel, no doubt, then what is the highest prize the soul can win; we almost believe in our own power to attain it.-George Eliot. KNOCKING THE HEAD TRICK. An Illusion Which Will Fool Any of Your Party Guests. Do you desire me, ladies, to teach you my secret for making impromptu verses? It is to rub your forehead well, not with the hand, as Horace did of old, but by giving your head some good sound blows against the wall. Then proceed to knock your head three or four times against a door and put your hand to your forehead as if to deaden the pain produced by the violence of the blows. But you must do something more than merely touch the door with your head. At the same moment that you make the movements as if knocking yourself you ward off the blow by the aid of the left hand held to the door about the spot which you appear to strike, while the closed right hand, concealed from the audience, strikes on the other side of the door. The correspondence of the movements of the head with the noise of the blows given by the clenched fist produces a perfect illusion on the minds of the spectators. Frolickers of the Sea. The merry dolphins have a peculiar murmuring cry, and when the sailors hear it they say the dolphins are talking together. Of all the creatures of the sea these show the greatest exuberance of animal mirth. Often they are seen by ships' passengers in the Mediterranean and the northern Atlantic ocean frolicking and leaping from the surface of the sea with a thousand graceful motions. Now they leap with curved bodies many feet into the air, then they drag through the waves rapidly, leaving a slender wake of whitenening foam under the water. The dolphin is not more than six or eight feet long. The body tapers toward the tail, which is shaped like a crescent. It has a beak about six inches long and a crescent shaped blowhole, with horns turned backward. It is white on the back, grayish on the sides and white beneath. About the Moon. The bright side of the moon always is turned toward the sun, whether the sun is visible to us or not. So we should expect that if the moon is less than full a line joining the center of the moon and the center of her illuminated edge would always point toward the sun, while the cusps or horns of the moon in her first or last quarter would point away from the sun. But if we come to watch the moon we shall find that the position of the cusps often is different from what we had expected. For instance, the sun may be well below the horizon, yet the horns may be turned a little downward and the center of the bright edge a little upward. The Sunday School Lesson FEEDING THE BABY "MOVIE" CAMEL CAPT SAITO FEEDS BABY CAMEL Here's Captain S. Saito, Japanese naval hero, photographed at a moving picture studio in California. He is the man who successfully bottled up the harbor of Port Arthur in the Russo-Japanese war. The animal in the picture, receiving nourishment from a bottle held in the hand of the distiller, guided Japanese visitor to America, is a baby camel which has often been used in the "movies." He seems tickled with the idea of having a famous sailor as a nurse. Text of the lesson, II Chron, xxxiv, 1:13. Memory verses, 2,3. Golden Text. Eccles, xii, 1. We have come to the record of the last good king who reigned over Judah, and while Isaiah and Micah were the prophets during the reign of Hezekiah, Jeremiah began to prophesy in the thirteenth year of Josiah (Ssa, 1, 1; Mic, 1, 1; Jer, 1, 2). Every good prophet, priest and king points onward to the Lord Jesus who when on earth was the prophet like unto Moses, speaking just what the Father told him; who is now our great high priest within the vell, ever living to make intercession for us, and who when He comes again shall be the true king of Israel, reigning in righteousness, a priest upon his throne, and we shall be His associates and joint heirs, the twelve apostles ruling over the twelve tribes of Israel (Deut, xviii, 18, 19; John xii, 49, 50; Heb, vii, 24:27; Jer, xxiii, 5, 6; Zech, vii, 12, 13; Rev, 4, 5, 6; y, 9, 10; Luke xxii, 28:30). What a glorious future to keep ever before us, to wean us from all present entanglements and enable us to run with patience the race set before us! (Heb. xii, 12). As Josiah was powerless, even with the help of Jeremiah, to effectually stem the tide of ever increasing iniquity, we may not expect to do more than he did in the last years of his age, to which we have come. Jeremiah was a prophet of the Lord during the last forty years preceding the judgment upon Judah (the last eighteen of Josiah's reign and the twenty-two of the four bad kings who succeeded him), and we may be within a good deal less than forty years of the end of this evil age, which will end with a time like the days of Noah and Lot (Luke xvii, 26:30). We can only do as Josiah and Jeremiah did, and that is be faithful to God as He gives us time and opportunity. It is profitable to compare the reigns of Josiah and Josiah (II Chron. xxiv), the two boy kings, but Josiah did better than Josiah, though he did not reign as long. To do right in the sight of the Lord, turning neither to the right hand nor to the left (lesson verses 1, 2), is a good summary of a godly life and reminds of the Lord's message to Abram after the thirteen years blank in his history. "I am the Almighty God walk before Me and be thou perfect" (Gen. xvi, 16; xvii, 1). The message might be read literally; I am El-Shaddai, the mighty God, all sufficient for you; walk before Me and be upright or sincerely. It is a good word for every believer. As to being kept from turning to the right hand or to the left, there is a very gracious promise in Isa. xxx. 21. When Josiah was sixteen he began to seek after the God of David, his father (verse 3), and FEEDING THE BAR CAPT. SAITO FEED Here's Captain S. Saito, Japanese picture studio in California. He is the harbor of Port Arthur in the Russo-ture, receiving nourishment from a guished Japanese visitor to America, used in the "movies." He seems tickled sailor as a nurse. Nest of the Grebe. The grebe, or dipper, although awkward on land, is an expert diver and has the power of remaining long under water and thrusting out the bill for a supply of air. The little grebe builds a floating nest, which she removes at the approach of danger, paddling it with one foot. Lions Like Lavender Lion tamers frequently perfume themselves with lavender. There is, it is said, no record of a lion ever having attacked a trainer who had taken the precaution of using this perfume. no doubt he did it with all his heart, according to Jer. xxix, 13, and in no sense feignedly, as many do. When he was twenty he began to purge the land from idols (verses 3-8), and the saying in verse 5 about burning men's bones on the idol altars reminds us of the saying of the unnamed man of God to Jerobemu in I Kings xxii, 1, 2, when he mentioned Josiah by name as the king who would do this. In II Kings xxii, 15-20, the fulfillment of this saying of the man of God is fully recorded. I often refer to this prediction and fulfillment as a token of the literal fulfillment which shall yet be of every prediction concerning things yet future. As truly as His riding upon an ass, coll foretold in Zech. ix, 9, was literally fulfilled, so truly shall the prediction of the next verse (Zech. ix, 10) be as literally fulfilled, and He shall speak peace unto the nations, and His domination shall be from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth. In Mic. v, 2, it was foretold that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem and that He would be ruler in Israel. We know that he was born in Bethlehem, the whole world being moved by the decree of Caesar, and it was that decree which brought Mary from Nazareth to Bethlehem at that time. He has never yet ruled in Israel, but He surely will at His coming again, in glory, and the whole world is now being moved to prepare the way for Israel's restoration and recognition, as a nation. We seem to have come to the beginning of times foretold by our Lord in Luke xxl, 25-28, distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring, men's hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. He said that even the beginning of such times would indicate the drawing near of redemption for Israel (Written May 28, 1916). Josiah's reformation reached even to the putting away of some of the idolatry introduced by Solomon (11 Kings xxii, 13-14). When he was twenty-eight he began to repair the house of the Lord (lesson verses 8-13), and it was then the Book of the Law was found, the result of which will be our next lesson. The house now being built, is the church of the Living God, and it is the one only thing worthy of our attention. Every true believer is a living stone bought by the precious blood of the Lamb and by that made fit for heaven. But we are still in the quarry, and by daily training are being made fit for our special places in His temple. There is no such thing possible as giving the world to Christ in this age, but we are here to gather from all nations a people for His name, the church.

Game of Parodies: Each player writes a parody, involving a certain idea or word, in the measure of some well known poem. --- At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Mark Trevor locked his desk and went home. Having let himself in with his chickey, he went upstairs stealthily, for it had occurred to him to enter his room quietly, and if her back peped, to ward him he would put his arms about her and surprise her with a kiss. From nips it will be supposed and correctly that Mr. and Mrs. Trevor had not been long married. Cautions! pushing the door open, he saw standing before a dresser, hurting in one of the drawers, a woman. In another blondie she caught stait of the radiation in the mirror. Taming; she raised him. Madam; he said, 'what are you doing here?' "I came for your wife's jewels. But shee I have not found them and have been interrupted in my search. I will put in operation a scheme, which I devised and for which I prepared before coming here in case I should not obtain the jewels. Your wife is in the house. I left her some ten minutes ago, the door of a friend of hers with whom she was exchanging a few last World before parting. I knowing the disposition of my sex-to-prolong those few parting words, I believed I would have plenty of time to come here, and at least make a beautiful Opening a reticule, she took out a bit of paper and handed it to Trevor. "Sign it," said the woman, "I will do anything." "Yes, you will when you hear, heard my reasons. The door will be closed for pop to do so. Your wife will be here in a few minutes." She helps got out Trevor and the door, knocked and put the key in the door. "She will and you will lift it in your hands with a thick safety indicator her friendness. Your doors should open, will be ended." Unfortunately for this part of the woman's plan, at this moment the front door was heard to close. Mrs. Trevor had finished the few party words with her friend and reached her room. Ascending the stairs, she attempted to open the door of the room and found it looked. "Open the door," said Trevor sternly. The woman produced the key and old lady was directed. Trevor threw open the door. The woman swept in a worker, affecting shame and confusion. Mrs. Trevor stood looking from one to the other, not with安慰, then with pain. "Oh Mind," she wailed. "How could you?" "This woman — Trevor began, and the criminal stopped him." "Forgive me, Mrs. Trevor," she said. "I have injured my feet stepping in between you and your husband. Mark loved me before he ever saw you. He really belongs to me rather than to you. He will deny what I say. He will give his own explanation of my being here. He will he to you, as he has lied to me. Believe him if you will, but I assure you he is not to be believed." Mrs. Trevor cast an appealing grafter at her husband. It pleaded with him to set himself right, though convicted by overwhining evidence: "Eileen" he began again; and again the woman drowned his words. "Don't listen to him" she said. "I will tell you the true story in a few words. Several years ago he found me an misspelling country girl. His words were very sweet. He told me that in me he had met his fate, of all the girls he had ever met, it was the only one to whom his heart—" At this point the woman began edging around toward the door. Mrs. Tryvor shrank away before her, leaving the way clear. Trevor stood overwhelmed, paralyzed with the self confessed thief's unblushing assurance. Then the wife found voice to say to the woman: "Leave." "I obey you. I leave you with the man who has blighted my life. Would that you had been left in ignorance of his truth character? Never again will I." She was about to back out of the door, when Trevor spring forward, closed it, turned the key and put it in his pocket. "You wilt never again play stitch up bold game with me, for I shall put it out of your power to do so. Give me that reticule." The woman turned pale. She grasped the reticule the tighter. "Ellen," said Trevor, "take the bag from her. I don't wish to use force with a woman." "What do you wish with it," asked the wife. man is levying blackmail. Eileen advanced toward the woman, who opening the tag, took out the ivory handled pistol and leveled it at her adversary. Eileen drew back, but her husband, ignoring the weapon, allowed to the thief and took the retaliate out of her hand, then opening it he took out the unsigned note. After explaining the woman's scheme to Eileen and convincing her of the innocence he unlocked the door and told her to go and telephone for the police. Trevor stood guard over the woman till the arrival of a patrol wagon from a police office, and she was removed to the city jail to await trial on a charge of levying blackmail. Peace returned to the Trevor family, and the blackmailer was sent to serve a term in state prison. PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY BY THE GAZETTE PRINTING CO. CHITAPOLIS, . . . . ILL. MRS. M. J.

If the majority of the messengers find someone else that they think that is more entitled to the office, and is better prepared to carry out the business of said office better than we, that will please us. But whether in or out of office we will be the same man, contending for the principles laid down by Jesus Christ, and will see to it that the land marks of our fathers will not be removed. The Gazette has just received another lot of new type faces and other material which adds much to the output of the work of the office. We deserve your patronage. We have a full line of cards, Letter Heads, Envelopes and other material. Let us do some of your work. Let us do your minute work and any other church advertisements. A short session of the executive board was held in Cairo, on Saturday June 23, with the Mod. Elder J. B. McCrary, presiding. The first thing under considera was to find a place for the Association to hold its forthcoming session, as the Shiloh Baptist church, Future City could not care for it. After carefully considering the invitations, a motion prevailed to meet with Siloam Baptist church, Unionville, on Tuesday before the 4th Sunday in Sept. 1917. A motion prevailed that the Educational space on the church letter blanks, be changed to read Livingston Normal Rebuilding and Educational Tax. A motion prevailed that the Woman's District auxiliary be requested to turn over to the treasurer of Trustee Board, all of the money they have on hand for education and same placed in the Bank by him on interest. Eld. H. E. McWilliams, came in and was permitted to speak on the Co opperative Missionary work. A motion prevailed thus this subject be special attention in the association next fall. Eld. J. D. Davis. paid the missionary money of $4.00 for the Mt Olive church, Colp. This closed a short and sweet session of the Board. Elder J. B. McCrary, To the Baptist Churches of Mt. Olive Baptist Association. It is to be hoped that all of our churches will respond to the urgent need and appeal of our missionary on the field just now. Brethren, it is a sin to place a man on the field to look after the neglected churches and fail to see after his support, while we are at home faring sumptuously every day with our families and congregations. It is wore than a crime to allow his family to suffer, while we are responsible to to send the gospel into destitute places. "How can they hear without a preacher, and how can they preach except they are sent?" Brethren, bestir yourselves as never before; the eyes of our old fathers who have let their montles fall on us are expecting us to evangelize this field in they labored so earnestly, contending for missions and the missionary. Remember the great commission, and let us take the State for Christ. The harvest is white, but the laborers are few. Lift up your eyes and look upon the field. The true missionary spirit is lax in most of our Baptist churches in Southern Illinois. Let us put out mission cards, preach a mission sermon once a month or a quarter, lift a special collection for missions and start the mission box plan. We have a good missionary in the person of Elder J. H. Hilley, and he needs our support. Let every church send something to the Board which meets with the Sunday School conuion at Cairo, June 13th.
