EVENING PRAYER.
We beseech thee Lord, to behold
us with favor, folks of many famííi-
es and nations, gathered together
in the peace of this roof, weak men
and women subsisting under the
covert of thy patience still, suffer
us yet awhile longer—with cur
broken purposes of good, with our
idle endeavors against evil, suf-
fer us awhile longer to endure and
(if it may be) help us to do bet-
ter. Bless to us our extraordinary
mercies; if the day come when
these must be taken, brace us to
play the man under effiction. Be
with our friends, be with ourselves.
Go with each of us to rest; if any
awake, temper to them the dark
hours oí watching; and when the
day returns, return to us, our sun
and comforter, and call us up with
morning and with morning hearts
eager to labor—eager to be happy,
if happiness shall be our poition—
and if the day be maiked for sor-
row, strong to endure it. Amen.—
Robert Louis Stevenson.
If you really want to find out
how much you think of a person,
try the "absent treatment." It has
been said that 'absence makes the
hearts grow fondei," but I tor one
am in clined to doubt the statement.
It seems to me that if a person truly
loves another he will with reason
grow fonder of that person by be-
ing together more frequently, of
course allowing for the fact that
the person is worthy to be loved.
It is veay hard to be separated
from those we love, any mother will
vouch for the statement, but the
people who love each other and
are constantly together ought to
find that association growing
sweeter as they mould their lives to
one another, more and more us
the years roll by. Of course if
there are differences and neither
is wiling to give and tqke, the "lit-
tle within the lute ever widening
makes the music mute," and chills
love. The absence of one we love
makes his or her faults seem less
and casts a glamour over all, but
the person right on the ground
who can and does show in the
numberless beantiful ways of
eonrtesy and thoughtfu loess, his
levo has all the advantage over the
one who is far away.-*Cleburne

COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION.
l .rii, and Km
It is reallv amusing to note the
methods employed by some mer-
chants t o induce unsuspecting
buyers ¡o purchase unknown goods
in the sale of which large profits
can be exacted.
A large department btore recent-
ly offered for sale a widely advert-
ised article at greatly reduced
priced. Although I reached tbe
store early next morning to
"avoid the rush" I found many
others ahead of me who had been
attracted bv the bargain sale Ann-
ouncement. While therrt was a
large displv of the article in ques-
tion not a single one of the brand
mentioned in the advertisement
was shown. The c!ei k who waited
on me spent several minutes en-
deavoring to convince me that the
line they were showing was as good
in every way as thepaticular make
I calle«l for. However, as I insistid,
he seemed very glad to give me
what I wanted at th ' price advert-
ised; although it is safe to say that
practically all of the other shop-
pers accept the brand of unknown
quality.
Many merehauts throughout the
country use the method <«f featring
established brands of goods at cut
prices to get people into th^ir stores
and then try to induce them to ac-
cept unbrandedor unknown brands
that bring profits. This custom is
not only unfair to the buying pub-
lic that "pays tbe bills," but is a
gross injustice to the manufactors of
standard lines who are trying to
sustain their reputations by giving
the people the highest quality of
goods possible for the prices asked,
The remedy is in your hands.
THE WASTE IN CHILD LIFE
If a man, lately come into a fort-
une, plav the wild spendthrift,
first thing he knows he is brought
into some fatherly-constituted
court and put in charge of a guard-
ian. His relatives have kept an
eye upon his dissipations. The;e
are folks to swear as to his careless-
ness with money. Person- he has
thought friends hove proved dect-
ives. Beneficiaries of his fortune-
scattering sigh regretful y, but re-
marks that, of course the spender
couldn't have expected anything
else.
It is a hackneyed saving that
"children are the greatest blessings
in the world." But the world is
far from dealing with its chiMren
if they were beyond price.
It lets hundreds and thousands of
them die in their infancy thr< ugh
lack of proper food and prop r care
It iets folks lore advice as to the
treatment of little sick children
haves its way. if parents choose to
follow its advice. Children are
permitted to come into contact
with sin and dirt and disease and
no one rushes into court to demand
the appointment of guardians lest
the children exposed shall be lost
to worthiness and usefulness.
They are, thousands of them, de-
nied proper traning, proper school-
ing, a decent opportunity to develop
into intelligent and right-thinking
citizens. Thousands and thous-
ands of them are put at work when
they should be encouraged to play.
Chidren are less troubled about
than tbe spendthrift's doHara. --

CHANGING FASHIONS IN FOOD
Viantfe That Were Considered Indi |
pensabla Centuries Ago Have
Entirely Disappeared.
The art of cooking has declined,
and that is in ¡¡art due to the chang-
ing fashions in food.
For instance, in Germany in the
middle ages many vegetables werej
eaten which have long since disap-
peared from the table, such as violet
leaves mixed with young nettles,
thistles and groen wheat, and boiled
hemp seeds.
Salads were made of mallow
leaves, celery roots and purslane
mixed with salt and pepper, for oil
wa* almost unknown. Olive oil wac
considered to smack of effeminacy i
and Italian luxury. Horseradish
sauce whs used instead.
The origin of sauerkraut is lo«t
in antiquity. Hut it was certainly
invented by the German hausfrauj
long before caulillowers or artichokes
or potatoes were known.
The potato revolutionised the fare:
of the fMxir. who hail formerly toí
rely on the roots of wild plants. Tin
variety of meats was larger, includ-
ing beavers, and in the case of Berne j
bears were kept for food. Spices anil i
aromatice were much sought after1
and far more used for conking.
Ginger and nutmeg wi re used tcI
flavor many dishes that have now j
vanished from our tables. And for-
tunately in this country and Ger-|
many the dishes of small birds of ali;
kinds that were an essential feature!
of a dinner have also gone out of
fashion. We no longer bake black j
birds and finches in pies.
WAS NOT DREADED "TABBY"!
Members of Cat-Fearing Family Al
most Worked Themselves Into Hys-
terics Over Harmless Objects.
A daughter of the household, Es-
pecially panicky where eats are con-
cerned, was sitting peacefully in th
firelight at the witching hour. Sud
denly she noticed a black something
on the radiator. Finally the object
developed fur, black fur. and twr
yellow eyes. Even a faint meouu
was borne to the ears of the horrified
woman. She frantically called tin
maid. The maid also had acquired
the family fear of cata.
Uttering a shriek, she rushed up
•ta ire to call the other daughter ol
the cat-fearing family. Not havinc
seen the frightful black object, th
daughter upstairs thought the maifi
had suddenly gone mad. Since calm
ness was necessary in such cases, sin
would l e calm. She would humor
the maid in her hallucination, urn j
together they descended the stairs
Uorrors, it was true! There was f
black cat.
Hailying all their courage an*
armed with pokers and brooms, the\
stealthily approached the radiatoi
and found—not a black cat wit!

"GUNMAN" HAS REFORMED.
"Bald ,ln<k" Hose, whose tesM
rnonv sent Police Lieutenant Charle
Becker and four gunmen to tin
death house at S ml' Sing for munlet
has repented his gambling an ] graf;
collecting days and become an evan-
gelist.
The present purpose of the forme
underworld leader is to spend th
coming years in religious and «>!■
fare work, that is if ins one-lime as
s M-iates do not carry out the threat?
thev have frequently made of "get
ting" him.
When Hose left the Tombs he «aid
he was through with gambling and
the old life. He bought a farm at
West port find livi'd there with hi-
family. F ir some time lie wrote for
newspapers regarding the life of th
underworld in which he had been a
conspicuous figure, and some of hi
writings have been put into Ixjok
form.
CONSCIENTIOUS CARE.
"I want you to lie particularly
careful," Bai l Senator Sorghum.
"You mean with this speech?"
said the atenograph -r.
"That isn't a specch. It's a lee-
ture. A speech may merely kill
time, but a lecture is expected to be
the rati money' worth."
THE REASON.
««Why ti it," Mkud the feminut
orator, "that the majority of woo
will not make big, determined
strides towards freedom?"
"I guess," volunteered one of hei
hearers, "because their hobble
skirts won't let 'am."
