The toiling masses, under God,
are supreme in America; and no
power can long dishonor or oppress
the toiler unless he him self is traitor.
When God worked building worlds,
labor was honored. When Christ
toiled, healing the sick and feeding

At the southwest corner is vestibule
which opens into a large hall, from
which a beautiful broad stairway leads
to the auditorium on the second floor.
This room measures 40 by 60 feet and
the acoustic properties have had es-
pecial attention and are excellent.
Across the rear of the auditorium is
good sized balcony. On the north of
the large organ loft is the pastors study
and upon the other side, the choir
room. A wide wainscoting of oak ex-
tends around the auditorium and the
walls and ceiling are handsomely deco
rated in ecru with dainty colorings of
brown, light blue and terra Gotta.

Her father-the man who had no God

God! He felt alone in the world

Had he been mistaken? Was there a

dwells one of the oldest and LATEST
creatures in the world. 1t walks up
side down; 1t rarely, If ever, drinks
and II lie said TO feel no pain. The
animal is known as the al, from It's
peculiar piping cry, or the three-toed
sloth. The last name is very appro-
pirate, for a iazier animal never lived.
Often 1t takes less than fifty steps a
day and it will be a month or more
in going mile. 1t Is not necessary
for it TO go any faster. because it lives
in the trees and its food of leaves and
soft twigs is always within easy reach.
Sloths have three toes on each foot,
and each toe bears a strong hooked
claw. When the sloth moves he sim
ply hooks the claws over a limb and
crawls about from tree to tree. In this
position he can sleep hours at a time.
When a little sloth is born 1t uses its
mother for a hammock until 1t Is big
enough to climb for itself.
The sloth grows to be about two feet
long. Its hair Is wiry and coarse and
1t has no tail to speak OF. The natives
say that 1t cam OF feel pain, and they
prove what they say by showing how
the sloth will roll itself up and DELHI
erately fall out of tall tree in order
to save climbing down. Pretty lazy,
isn't it? An uglier. more useless ami
NAL could not well be imagined.

Polly wished TO give d dinner-party
to her cats, Diogenes, John and Broth
er, so her mother gave her a dime and
told her she might buy three fish at
the market Polly trotted away, and
when she came back with the fish she
called the three cats and tried to get
them ready. She tied a ribbon around
each OF their necks. but 1t was not an
easy task, because they smelled the
fish. Then she spread a towel on the
floor and set three plates on it, and
tried her best to make the cats sit
down beside them. But they cried. and
jumped about, and behaved SO badly
that at last she shut them outside the
door. Then she put a fish on each
plate and little dish of catnip in
the middle. and opened the door. Do
genes was the last one in, but 1t wasn't
because he wanted to be polite for he
jumped over John, who was small, and
ran right under Brother, the great big
striped cat, and was first at the table
after all On the table, | mean, for
he ran right across the cloth, shifted
at all three plates, snatched the big
gest fish and dragged 1t under the
stove. John took his fish into his cor
ner behind the cupboard, and Brother
carried his under the sink After a
minute Diogenes left his fish and went
first to one cat and then the other, and
tried to take theirs But John slapped
him, and Brother growled SO that he
was afraid, and went back to his own
fish under the stove
Polly was shocked at such behavior
and ran to tell mother, who only
laughed.
II was afraid they'd disappoint you,
she said. But never mind They
are having good time in their own
way"
So Polly went back and picked up the
plates and the towel and the catnip.
And she peeped under the stove and
behind the cupboard and under the
sink, and she saw mother was right.

About a Bandit Fish.

In the rivers anu ldAes of New York
state there is a bandit fish that roams
at large and makes its living by rob
bling the gentlemen fish. 1t even at,
tacks such vigorous fish as the black
bass and the pickerel, fastening itself
to them and sucking their blood until
they are dead. The name of this bold
bandit is the lamprey. Prof. Gage Of
Cornell University has seen $4,000 OF
these lampreys spawning at one time
in the outlet of Cayuga lake alone
and he has estimated that they kill
more fish than all of the fishermen OF
the state put together The lamprey
is about the size and has somewhat
the appearance of an eel Prof. Gage
advises some means of killing them b,
means of traps in the stream as they
go up in the spring to spawn.
