Loves immortality
BY maude IS RDdrQWs.

Once upon a time there lived a painter.
who. like all artists. was poor IN pocket and
rich In spirit. lie said. like the rest, 81

world. Then he straightway cast about
rim TO conceive his theme. 1T shall be,

remuneration. and in il shall exist no seed
OF Satan's sowing. 1t will he the painted
portrayal of pure lawful love resigned for
pure faith, and thus shall earth-love and
heaven-love be carried down unspotted
throughout the ages."
Now the painted had more youth and art
tran wisdom and. therefore, he chose for
the figure Of his emblematic Psyche a beau
tltuI woman who belonged unto another
and for ChristIanized Eros he took his
own form and face as model. And then
II was the work began-the lovers in a gar

uplifted hands. tying the scarf about the

The artist painted and his work grew
apace. His canvas seemed an altar place.
his brush living flame OF sacrifcial fire.
his mind a sanctuary. filled with the dream
of immortal greatness gained by the brush
ing of loves wings against the heart Of
the holy ghost. But one day as the brush
flew over the canvas, making the shadows
and the white flowers for the background
or the sacrihcial pair, he looked AT his
work and saw. alasi in each face. something
lacking, and down In his heart Of hearts
he said sorrowfully TO himself: MY story
will not live" What it was ne knew not.
and Just then the voice of his model broke
upon his reveries.
Your canvas IS cold" she said. and
drew light shawl shiveringly around her
shoulders. He dropped his brush and came
and caught the drapery about her. Her

her cheeks told him something that did not
belong to lawful love or religious self
sacrifice. He bent and kissed her full upon

"VACANT Chairs"

As the Christmas season approaches
there will be many sad hearts and vacant
seats around the freside. Many e"o

in a shepherd as he sought TO lead mis- mock
over n stream In vain he called 10 MS
sheep 10 follow him through the swallow
waters. and again and again he coaNeu
them on.
They would come so far. but no iarthet'
At last. as n final resort. he caught Il iailip
in his arms and carried 1t TO the other side.
Immediately the dam followed. and then
the entire flock crossed safely to better
pastures and cooler shades There was q
lesson In that little incident for the Two
travellers 1t had been necessary IN the'r
case, too, that their Good Shepherd had
born their only child across the steam IN
order to draw them closer to MN. Dut lhelI
hearts had rebelIed against the will OF Iod'
and they had sought to bury their sorro"
in distraction. AS the meaning OF the les
son came more fully upon them they &C
cepted the great truth IL taught, and not
only did they find healing for their broken
hearts and shattered hopes, but were used
OF God in bringing hope and comfort INTO
many another burdened and darkened Ire.
To those whose only little ones the Good
Shepherd has borne across the stream dur
ing the past year we would say take cour-
age. and feel cOmforted that the everlast-

American Food and Oil Company will
shortly establish n large peanut oil mil,
IN this city, embraces the opportunitv
to congratulate Norfolk on its acouisi-
ton of the first mill of the kind. and
hopes Its success will lead to the estah-
lishment of like industry in its own
state. The Record, in referring 10 the
TACT that the American Food and Oil
company is going to locate in Norfolk
mas the following to say regarding the
manufacture of oil from peanuts:
The company has capital stock
OF $bOOO0, and owns certain patent

IN THE INTEREST OF PEACE.

The fact of the leading journal of
st. Petersburg. the Viedomorti having
printed few days ago an editorial
urging France to forgive the annexation
OF Alasace- Lorraine. and to become re-
consiled to Germany, has caused big
sensation in Paris. and at the same time
is attracting no little attention in all
the capitals of Europe. The we'll known
censorship of the press in Russia leads
to the belief that the article would
have been suppressed by the Govern
ment had it not reelected its views
hence its publication has caused a great
sensation throughout France. Rus
