( al school she means business, and
1.-The States money will not be
wasted on her. When a boy is
sent to college he does not always
mean business. Most generally he
means to have a good time and he

proved so in Mississippi. II will

1t is generally agreed among recent
harmonists that Mark 2 : 1922 is out
If its chronological order. The feast
al the house of Levi (Matthew), and
the subsequent discourse, seem to find
their proper place between verses Fl and
% of chapter }; that is. Immediately
before the present lesson.
The reasons for this view may be
briefly stated. In Matthew Q IS 1t is
definitely said that the rule came
.'whiIe he spake these things" that is,
the discourse about fasting, etc. This
discourse is connected in all three ac-
counts with the feast at the house of
Levi. and it is difficult to ~disconnect
the two by any other view Of the order.
Bnt the call Of Levi (Matthewl is di-
rectIy Joined with the healing of the
paraiytic in all tile accounts. In hone
of Item is 1t asserted that the feast i'm
medIatrly followed the call.
IL is positively certain that the wo-
man was healed while our Lord was on
the way to the house Of Jairus. ut
will be noticed that the passage Mark
. 1922 is the only one il Marks mar

STORIES BoU f
Something of a Liar, but Not for
Forty Cents.

A number of members from the
house Of representatives have stolen
away at various times and for short
periods from their congressional duties.
Most of them enjoyed themselves, but
none to a greater extent than did Wade,
Of Missouri; Lind, of Minnesota, and
Sawyer, of New York. They invaded
the state of Maryland and studied the
unsophisticated natives until they got
tired. The last place at which they
made any stay was Leonardtown.
From there they intended coming to
the capital by boat, but that semi
occasional craft having departed, they

bar and proceeded at a very deliberate
gait. Occasionally the conductor
would get off and gather a few peaches,
with which he would treat the passen-
gers. After the train had been crawl
ing along for an hour and had covered
at least six miles, the conductor col
lected the fares, which, for the Con-
"gressional crowd, amounted to So
cents each. When he reached Col.

remarked, in his innocent way:
"Do you charge preachers full fare
on this roadP"
mo. Sir" was the conductors reply.
1--WE only charge them half rates. Are
you a ~preacherf" he added, looking
squarely at the colonel's Methodist
countenance.
"No, / am not" said the Missou-
riau, ''but that gentleman is" pointing
to Judge Sawyer. who sat a couple OF
seats in front OF him.
The conductor at once returned to
the Judge. and after a searching
glance at the sun kissed c~ountenaDce
Of the New York statesman, proffered
him 40 cents, with the remark: 1--WE
only collect half rates from preachers.
"Who In blank said l was a
preacherP' asked the Judge, with con
siderable show of anger.
The conductor threw his thumb back
over his shoulder in the direction OF
Col. Wade, and looked as though he
thought al! the time that the colonel
was garbliug the facts in the case.
In the meantime the three dimes, the
nickel and five pennies reposed calmly
in the judges fat palm. He regarded
them In silence for q moment. and then
handed them back TO the official, say.
ing: II am a good deal of a liar, but
will not lie for 40 cents"
Then he relapsed into absolute silence
and would not look at Col. Wade until
Washington was reached.

Help Yourself.

A child can learn to do many things
in an emergency or an accident which
will give relief. Here are three simple
prescriptions" lich boys and girls
should remember. We get them from
WIDE 1Uake:
|. an Ia-grolCiag 7oenaa: Heat a
bit of mutton tallOw hot IN a spoon,
and pour in on the bad place." The
soreness disappears and in a few days
the edge of the nail can be cut as
usual.
2. Nose bleed: Grasp firmly the nose
with finger and thumb of the right
hand for fully ten minutes, completely
stopping the movement of air through
the nose. 1t will stop the bleeding,
which will not return. This is the
advice of an eminent surgeon.
8 When you Spill the Ink: Hurry for
some cola water. an empty cup and a
spoon. Pour a little water on the
stain. The water dilutes the Ink,
making the stain less deep. of course.
Then dip it up lightly aud quickly into
the cup. Go on pouring clean water
on the spot and dipping up. You can
repeat this until there Is not the
slightest mark left of the accident, no
matter how much was spilled.
To remove a dry ink stain dip upon
1t hot milk and rub 1t. Repeat until
the stain Is gone.

Gone.

Another man gone underl His
story, a short one, is told every day.
He had a good POSITION, a large salary,
a home, a wife and a amily. He
evidently lived beyond his means.
acquired expensive habits and became
rapid. He got hold OF somebody's
check, had it cashed and then skipped.
HIS career comes to an end. but the
misery of his household has just
begun.
Our g%randfathers did one thing
better than we do-they knew how to
live in two rooms and save money,
while we live in ten, get into debt,
keep our noses to the grindstone, and
at last burst all to pieces like an over
inflated soap bubble.
1t takes more courage for an ambit-
ious young nan to live on u thousand
dollars a year, and keep clear of embar-
easements and temptations, than to
hunt lions in Africa or tigers In India.
The stiff backbone which enables a
fellow to endure rid cule because he is
poor, and do it cheerfully, is the
choicest donation which Providence
yer made to any man.
