At §5 he found that his legs had los! iheir elasticity, that he was showing marked sians of decay. He faced old age and began a battle royal for a re- covery of his youth with such success that at the age of 102 he was a younsg- er looking man than at 65.

The housecleaning season is on amfl the average husband is off the hooks. The wife has always sald that it was a necessity, while the husband de- clares that it is an unmitigated muls- ance. This is the season whem fhe women turn the house upside down, and 1f the husband is not unusually well trained he will flee from home apd feed In & restaurant. To the mag who is tolerant and patiently assists Mousecleaning means days of anxiety, nights of makeshift accommodations, catch-se-catch-can meals, and the upsetting of all order and comfort from cellar to attic. The head of the house can't find hi or settle down in his favorite corner with a popular novel, or de anything in trme and regular form. It is & nightmare to Bim and a hustling time for the woman who knows that cleaniiness is next to godliness and the true way not only to health but peace and or- der and domestic heloes. When 1§ is all over the man thanks God and the overworked woman calls the daator. 3t takes some time to get the howse filled with the old air of smoke and oomfort; but i the man is left free there is mo doubt but he can surprise the womam of the house by his ability 0 make things as they were, or worse. The man is always glad when the war on dirt is over and the woman never yearns for a longer term at the fray. THE SAGE LOAN FOUNDATION. The use of a large part of the Sage suillions to help the thrifty upon fair terms promises to be a source of as- sistance to future gemerations. Mrs. Sage has decided to use a large part of the Sage millions In establishing agencies throughout the country at which persons in urgent need of money will be enabled to borrow it npon fair terms. It has been revealed that Mrs. Sage has hit on a form of practical philanthropy fer which there ie unquestionably a field of wide util- it7. As an admirer of Mrs. Sage and a commender of the scheme says: “Oniy those who have suffered severe financial stress can adequately appre- ciate the value of the proposed be- neficence. “There are emergencies of constant occurrence which render the command of a greater or less amount of money = matter of the most momentous con- sequence, & matter. it may be, of life or death: and under the Dressure of such conditions loans are contracted on any terms that may be offered or can be obtained. It will be a great boon te thousands if on such occas- ions the opportunity is provided of securing the sum desired without be- ing required to furnish an unobtaina- ble coliatesal or emter Into an agres- ment that is appressive and extor- tionate, The Sage loan foundation will do a great deal of good.” We probounes iL oo-oa- -—u-m 1un THE GOVERNMENT'S LATEST MOVE. ‘The reading public was somewhat surprised when the government essay- ed to make thirty arrests of men con- duoting bucket shops in a dowen dif- ferent states, some of whom are mil- lionaires. Since they pay no respect to ti law, Atterney General Wick- ers is determined to pay his re- pects to them. It had not been generally realized, even by those immediately concerned, that any statute of the United States makes the maintenance of a “bucket shop” fllegal, but that is quite imma- terlal. Ignorance of the law is mo valid excuse for the commission of an unlawful act and the promoters of this peculiarly pernicious form of gambling do not deserve and will not receive any sympathy on account ‘of the retribution which has overtaken them. There Js no more to be said in fa- vor of bucket shops than of policy playing and it cannot be shown that either ever contributed to the pros- perity of a place. They are tempta- tions to the weak and promote dis- honesty and theft. Thousands of men have been robbed by this specuiative system and hundreds have yielded to dishonesty in consequence of it, and finally been imprisened. It would be 2 good day for the country if the entire business was wiped out of ex- istence. MILLIONS OF ACRES IN POTATOES There are three million acres of lana in this country devoted to the growing of potatoes and in consequence of the careless way in which the business is done taers is a loss of 135,080,000 bushels annually, valued at $75,080,000, just because proper astention is not paid to the selection and testing of seed Mr. Mitchell, writing upon this sub- ject foe the Technical World, shows the sdvantage of care in the growing of this crop. He says: The potato, of all other general crops, 15 most affected by environment, The farmer must know his soll and then dectermine upon the variety he shall plant. He can do this by, ex- periment with a “breeding plat.” Mr. Mitchell advises him to select each year from this plat the yield from the best fifty seed potatoes and then choose from each of these the ten best tubers for the following vear's breeding seed: also to provide improv- ed seed for the general crop from the nest best groups after the breeding sced has been selected. Thus the womeral improved seed supply will be always a year behind the breeding ved. Potato raisers should bear this In mind. It is not theoretical at all. To show the variation in seed potatoes, fhe agriculturist of the Washington state experiment station planted in 1907 two plats of potatoes, one with cut potatoss selected in the field from the best looking hills of the previous year's crop and the other with pota- toes from medium to poor hills. The yield from the latter was sixty-one Packs an acre, while that from the other was eighty-one—a gain of twen- ty sacks. Such an experiment as this cught to prompt by its results a more careful attention to the soil and the quality of the seed. A gain of a third leaves no doubt as to the value of care in this direction. EDITORIAL NOTES. Woman's definition of a good husband would make a good sized dictionary. The refuse of winter creates a large per cent. of the filth diseases of sum- mer. The bark of some men i3 no more dangerous than the bark of the dog that doesn't bite. A St Louis judge has ruled that the man who gets a seat in a trolley car first owns that seat. ‘When Halley’s comet gets at its best it will have turned tail and will be running away from us. New England’s birth rate was the lowest ever last year. This looks bad for New England's future. Happy thought for today: If you know what you want, do not be balked by something just as good. The first straw hat has been a little shy about coming out, but these days must be awful tempting to it, Foreign spies are nothing new to this country. It seems to be some- thing new to be arresting them. St. Louis has had A One Millon club for ten years, but it does mnot claim over 700,000 population, yet. Jack Johnson thinks that “If every- body on carth was as g00d as me” this would be a pretty good old world. It the pure-food advocates got the bologna cow out of commercial chan- nels they would be doing their duty. Men who begin to plan for the sum- mer vacation now dawdle away two weeks' time before they reach the date of departure. Tt will not be long before the foot- Ball plavers will let their hair start for the chrysanthemum gridiron pom- padour growth.

Mayor Gaynor appears to be learn- ing his New York every day, and he doesn’t mean to have policemen guard- ing empty bulldings any more.

This is the chief reason that so many mar- ried people have a high old time in life, and the divorce courts have so much business. A face that has to be fed on praise and chocolate drops is not the face which endures; it takes too much time to touch it up in the morning and most of it washes off. Sloth in silk has cleanliness in calico completely knocked out. We talk about the heart qualitles and then go over to outside show and corked eye- brows. We cannot tell how it is—no- body can; but there is no one who is ready to file a denial. The collecting fad is all right so long as it is kept within bounds. To a great many people antiques are old junk, purely and simply, and become nothing else; and when a man or a woman gets the collecting fever, and then keeps this idea to the front, regardless. it is a disturber of house- holds. One of these collectors writes: “I have filled the house from garret to cellar with rare old treasures that any historical museum might be glad to own; I have done without the ne- cessities of life to purchase Revolu- tionary bureaus and Mexican War so- fas and Dolly Madison samplers for my dear ones. but my husband treats {my efforts with cold disdain, and my children spurn the fine old four-poster beds that 1 give them, and sleep on the floor instead.” It looks as if this was reaching the limit. When there is such a crush as this and interest and sympathy have to be found outside the home, conditions inside are too much llke @ second-hand dealer's shop to be defensible. Perhaps you have never noticed how many men cherish the conceit that they are superior judges of human na- ture, when most of them are frequently upset by the freakisn nature of their own children. Most of them do not know any more about the study of human nature than a cow understands about astronomical sclence. You will find that Bill Bumps thinks that Jim Jumps is a derned fool: and that Jim Jumps knows that Bill Bumps is a confounded blockhead; and you see at once that neither estimate is correct. Some men cannot tell a fact from a whim, or a prejudice from a logical conclusion. It is an excellent plan o try to see the good in others and to go blind to everything else. There are two points in speech where exaggeration is to be expected, and that is when men are busy prais- ing their friends or condemning their enemies. Somehow it appears to be natural for a friend to see more in a friend to admire than any one else can: and for a man to see more to hate in an enemy than really seems wise. It is always the part of wisdom to g0 slow along lines of life where we know there is danger of being blased. It is this weakness that makes it possible for a friend to injure a friend more than an enemy can; or for -an ememy to dis- credit himself before he gets his en- emy discredited. Silence is a good thing when we are surging with ad- miration or with hatred. Man would be greater if he knew when and where to invoke silence. It Ts the get-rich-quick schemes which have disclosed to the world that the fool and his money is soon parted, and the higher the civilization the more the get-rich-quick schemes seem. to flourish. When a fellow discloses to You that he has an investment for you that will double your money in a vear or two,_he is simply letting you know nine fimes in ten that he loves your money better than he loves the truth. When money can be had at the banks for 4 per cent. in large amounts there i3 no reason why any man should offer you 10 per cent. The real fact is that great inducements for investment fore- shadow great perll They mean illegal inducements and increased chances for loss. Men of means who learn to read in this primer of life do not often get buncoed. 1 haven’t been able to make it clear to my mind why we should talk any | more about the brotherhood of man | and the fatherhood of God than of the | sisterhood of woman and the mother- hood of God. Equality simply signifies justice, and inequality subservience. The story of the resurrection with Mary Magdalene first at the tomd to giscover it empty is a simple one; and it closes with the Saviours appear- ance to Mary, and the last words he said to her wers: “I ascend unto my father and your father; and to my God and_your God.” This is what might in these days be called a minute ser- mon for the equality of woman. And some Christian men dishonor their| mothers by scouting the equality of manhood and womanhood. Some people like to tell tales of woe just as well as anglers like to tell blg fish stories. It does beat all how peo- ple like to say things which do not have the esmblance of truth, or if they| have an atmosphere of misery about | them. Joy-talk is wholesome talk, but it 1s all too rare. A man with a hard luck story always expects it to help him out; but the man with a good luck | story is a little timid about speaking | of it for fear no one will belleve him. The fault-finder makes more noise than ihe praise carrier, and the person who enjoys poor health tells of it ten times where robustness tells of good health | once. “Joy to the world” broke forth | in song once, and we should keep it | going. In these twentieth century days the world is being given lots of new defini- tions which it ought to profit by. The iting_on the wall in these days The truly good man is the man who has lived up to his obituary.” How quickly we recognize the merit of this affirmation. It is_well enough to speak well of the dead if you do mot by =0 doing give the world a wrong impression of their character—for that is lying. This is why the largest per cent. of saints appear to repose in the cemeteries. “Reposing in the Lord.™ upon a tombstone, has its puTpo: when everyone who reads it says in s mind_“Doubted,” but it is not the | purpose for_which the inscription was { put there. These things are not as so many think, symbols of love, but just signs of foolishness. The man who has the habit of walt- ing for something to turn up is usual- |1y fast asleep when it does turn up while the hustler turns up things and | gets a hold on them which cannot be broken. The waiting sou! in thig world in the one which oftenest mofs left. “Get a move on!” is the deéree of nature and the command of God. It fits a minister just as well as it does a policeman and an editor just as well as it does a bum. There are no ex: emptions. Wear out! or Rust out! are the orders, and there are no alterna- tives. It never pays to look for holes for the Lord to pull us out of, for He won't do it. He knows when the hole fits and it's final.

In- stantly a crowd had and presently there came pushing through the crowd a woman with a toddling <hild at her side. “My dog! Is #t my dog?” she kept asking. Then, seeing him, she choked back a cry, and went down on her knees in the muddy street and gathered him up in her arms. “Chippo.” she repeated over and over. ‘Poor Chi, dear little Chippo!” Chippo opened his eyes, tried to Hick hed hand with his tongue, and smiled a dying smile into her face.

There was & Dig Jump in my throat that I would not let break in sobs for the world to hear. My thought went back to an autumn day, years ago, when Cherokee, dearest of darling dogs, and faithfullest of friends, lay dead at my feet, run ‘over by an automobile. Let me tell a little of what Cherokee’s friendship meant to me. He was overgrown, eix months’ old puppy whes be came to Hve with us; and with him was_brought to the house his brother, for me to take my choice. The brother had more white about the face, possi- bly he might have been considered the handsomer of the two; but when Cherokee rolled his great eyes up at me som subconscious passed be- tween his soul and mine and I said: “Til keep this one; he is my dog.” Those who brought him called him “Tommy” or “Jack” or some such name, but to me from the first he was “Cherokee.” When the men led his brother way, thus separating the two who had fed and slept and played to- gether all their short six months of life, I took a seat by the window, with Cherokee In my lap, to see them drive away. Cherokee strained his neck to watch his brother out of sight, and when he turned his eves up to me they were full of tears. Thereupon I put my arms around him and my 1ips to his ear while I talked to him softly and com- forted him. From that moment he get- tled himself contentedly among us, adopting our family for his own. Dear o was, | was at first half afraid of him. I had not been used to dogs, and he was so big and vigorous, storming the house in such boisterous fashion, tearing up end down stairs. leaping’ in and out of windows, and bounding over everything in sight, that all T dared do was to sit back watch him. What would he do next, I wondered. He did the cunningest things in the cunningest passible way. He chewed up our best hats, our gloves, handkerchiefs, sofa pillows, overshoes and hot water bottles, making havoc of everything he could set those Mttle sharp testh of his into. Friends and neighbors advised us to beat him, but we aid not like to; indeed, we did not know how, and afterward were glad that we never had. You see, he was not really naughty; he was only acting out his puppy nature, and we had to get used to He was only a dog. He had never been taught the Ten Commandments, never heard of the Golden Rule. How should he know any difference between meum and tuum? He did know the people he loved, and he would bave stood by us to the death. Ho Had bull blood, and no dog is so deeply affectionate @s the bull. But the bull lood made him a fighter. He sponge cake by another. We talk up theories that sound well when there isn't a mother's son of us Who can fix a standard for them. SUNDAY MORNING TALK WHAT IS YOUR DISPOSITION? A curious affalr ig this phenomenon, called disposition. We make it the scapegoat for numerous questionable actions, both on our own part and on the part of others. We judge men by t. Here are two boys, sons of the same parents, but diametrically different in disposition. One is cheerful, buoyant and radistes sunshine from morning to night. His studies come 0 him: he makes friends without any effort. But his brother is morose, mor- bid, irritable; little things vex and thwart him. 'He will have ten times @s many dificulties getting through life as his brother, even though their outward circumstances may not differ greatly. Here are two men associated in busi- ness. One is openhanded, progressive, venturesome; the other is close-fisted, conservative and lacking in initiative and enterprise. Now, in the case of both the boys and the men there is no fundamental difference in honesty, pur- | ity and righteous intentions. It is simply a difference in a thing which we call disposition, due to what strange, pre-natal influences we can- not now determine. Who knows but in this gloomy and fussy boy there may be cropping out a trait that was in a2 Puritan ancestor a dozen generations back? We are all born as we are, with certain tendencles and attributes, such differences of disposition are the way in which a man’s nature crops out to- ward the world. Some orchards have 2 sunny exposure and ‘some look to- ward the north. Some men have a slant toward this, that or the other school in politics,’ or creed in relig- on. “Fhis being S0, a man ought to study himself carefully as soon iis he comes to vears of discretion, in order to know what he is naturally disposed to think and do. ~He would better make friends with his disposition, even if it is not already to his liking. He would better discipline it and hammer it into shape rather than let it rule over him to his own undoing. or if not that, to the impairment of his influence and ef- fectiveness. These Y. M. C.

A western philosopher has said that ‘a dog cannot appreciate the simple life until after has had a tin paH tied to his tail:” That is, adversity makes the simple life look more &t- tractive and paves the way for more or less comntentment in it. There is some- thing to this. Folks who live on Basy street canmot lead the stmple life, be- cause it means self-denial, and it is 00 hard for them to do it.

Oh, the day ho was driven away, lying on the floor of the farm wagon, gnominously tied by a rope, he lookéd back at us with a” reproachful look in his eyes that baunts me to this hour. “Cherokee, Cherokee,” I whispered after him, “you know it breaks our hearts as well as yours.” He was, back in a week. I'm sure he ran home the first minute he was loose@ from the rope. When he came bounding in we all weloomed him with a ery of rejocing. We hugged him, we petted him, we fed him on the fat of the land; and he slept that night at our feet. But the Teasons for sending bim away still held. Next day the farmer man came egain, end again Cherokee was driven off, bound by a rope to the floor of the wagon. Do you think he did not find his way home? Yes, for the second time, as soon as his bonds were loosed. The third time we sent him away they must have tied bim tighter, for it was weeks before we saw him, weeks during which we missed him, and longed for him, and could not reconcHle ourselves to his absence. And now over our home fell the shadow of a passing, a shadow that deepened and deovened as the davs grew warmer. One evening, sitting alone, and facing with a coward heart the parting that was soon to be, sud- denly, in the stillness, I heard thé slow patter-patter of little faithful feet, not bounding this time as though sure of a welcome, but stepping softly through the open door and softly into the quiet room. Then my dog lald his chin on my kne. “Oh, Cheroiee” T eried. “You knew 1 needed you, and you've come.” Do you think he did not understand? He was only a dog, but he brought me that night his message of consolation. Atter that I never doubted the subtle, subconscious something between his soul and mine. As long as he lived we kept him with us, close to us; he was fed from our table, he slept at our Six weks later he lay stiff and stark and cold, killea by an automobile, dead at eighteen months, with the light of his wonderful eyes quenched.

Human love i3 a mighty factor, but religion can do more than any other single factor.

That is the type of persons, and that alone, who are entitled to mem- ‘bership in the Kingdom of God. And nobody can excuse himself from join- ing by claiming his disposition unfits him for such companionship. THE PARSON. Or Mattresses With Hair.
