. .EPIsrLE TO THE HEBREWS.
Book Of the Bible Is OF the Most In,
tense Interest.

SThe question who wrote the eplstle
to the Hebrews is one which still re-
rsins unanswered. Endless sugges-
tons have been made by Biblical
scholars. The book has been ascribed
In turn to Appollos. Luke. Aquila and
Priscilla in collaboration. and others;
but there is no consensus OF opinion.
no one claims for his own theory that

ton about this yelled prophet. SO full
of the poetry Of an eail ier faith. who
has given to the world his conception
OF Christianlty-to him a religion OF
conscience and Of hope, TO which he
had fled for refuge" from a decaying
ceremoniallsm. a religion in which be
had found "a strong consolation"
Even to the unlearned the book Is very
literary, and those who know con-
firm this instructive judgment. The
writer drops the threads Of his argu-
ment 10 find illustrations and orna-
ments, and by no means disdains fine
verbal effects. Hebrews has nothing
of the eternal simplicity which has
kept the meaning Of the Gospel, clear
among the swords and pens Of ten
thousand theologians. No book In the
New Testament-unless, perhaps. Rev
elations-has suffered more from the
theory Of verbal inspiration. Some
thing OF the writer's real mind has
been, we suspect. irremediably over
laid with the conclusions Of dogma
lists: but for all those who desire to
know what a cultivated man. who was
not st. Paul, though about Christianity
before the end Of the first century, IL
remains Of intense interest.-London

The spirit Of the times is showing
decided tendency towards fairer treat
ment for both labor and capital. Gov
ernor Odell, OF New York, said in his
inaugural address that they should
thoroughly understand each other, and
they would get along better. 1t seems
that the discussions of pulpit, plat.
form and press. the decisions Of the
courts, and the various instances Of
arbitration are convincing both capt.
tai and labor of the inalienable rights
OF each, and they will profit by it. 1t
would be much better In the Icing run
If they would agree in the first place,

differences by arbitration, and it sp-
pears that they are beginning to see

Arctic Coal.

The Norwegians are turning their
attention TO the large and promising
coal fields on the southwest coast of
Spitzbergen. For several years past
their fishermen, while in these coastal
waters, have observed the outcrops Of
coal. Their stories aroused interest
at home and the coal fields were ex-
amlned as a possible source of profit,
Several companies have been formed
to carry on coal mining In these new
fields and there is much confidence in
Norway that the new Arctic enterprise

presently the loungers on the plazzas
OF the Manhansett house, half a mile
away, heard: peter. Peter, don't for

pause, again the woman's voice
through the megaphone, more STAG
cato than ever now: Peter. Peter,
don't forget the cheese CRATER" Just
about this time a close observer
might have noticed signs of action
on the decks of all the other yachts.
Shadowy forms, more or less pajama
clad, stole on tiptoe from below, and
then from Hanhansett to Prospect
there went up a mighty chorus from a
hundred megaphones: Peter, Peter.

Some Of the members OF the council
who wouldn't know a cog wheel from
a monkey wrench so far as machinery
is concerned, pretend to know all about
what causes the bad electric lights
in Paducah, just how much the ma
chinery in the plant is worth and
what ought to be done to improve the
plant. And they appear to think that
all you have to do is to say LET there
be Highland there will be light. 1t
can be authoritatively said that it
will require IS, 900 to put the light
plant In the proper condition, without
installing any relay machinery for use
in case of break down. II the city
has or can get the s.. 900, and deems
that way preferable tn any other, it
should get to work without delay to
give the people better lights. This
talk Of municipal ownership" is only
subterfuge of a few who haven't
intelligence enough to see into a plain
proposition, and who don { want to do
anything to improve the city. No one
has ever said anything about perma-
nently disposIng of the light plant.
All that is wanted Is to secure good
lights, and the city need sell nothing.
but may temporarily turn over the
light problem to some one able to cope
with it, until the city is in a better
position to look after it itself.

MODERN ADVERTISING
Jim Was Always Ready With a
Scheme to Get Raise in Salary.

The first college man I ever hired was
old John Durham's son, Jim. That
was good many years ago, when the
house was a much smaller affair. Jim ;
father had a lot of money till he started
out to buck the universe anu corner
wheat. And the boy took ali the fancy
courses and trimmings at college. The
cid man was mighty proud OF Jim.
Wanted him to be a literary fellow.
But old Durham found out what every
one learns who gets his ambitions
mixed up with No. red-that there's a
heap of it lying around loose in the
country. The bears did quick work ana
kept the cash wheat coming in so livery
that one settling day half q dozen of
US had to get under the market to keep
it from going to everlasting smash.
That day made young Jim a candi-
date for a job. 1t didn't take him long
TO decide that the Lord would attend
to keeping up the visible supply OF
poetry, and that he had better turn his
attention to the stocks OF mess PORK.

rades, also Cross Questions and Daffy
Answers and another peculiarly eXcit-

and dropped it in a Hat. These imita-
ton Pastimes are not calculated 10

Suburban Sextette arrived at the enc

Crc1uet no longer thrilled them. Six
handed Whist seemed to be out of the
Question, so Mr.. Frisbie, who had been
an Indian before he did the Matrimon-
ial Stunt. timidly suggested that Draw
was about the only Game that would
keep the Blood in Circulation six
Nights out of every Week.
Mrs. Jinkins laid back on the propo-
sition because she was the Soprano in
a Church Choir and did not wish to
start any Talk. Mr.. Frisbie and Mr.
Gillespie assured her that 1O-cent
Limit was not Gambling, because it
was played merely for Fun and very
often one would play all Evening ami
lose only a Dollar or so or perhaps come
cut just Even.
SO the Gillespies gave a Poker Party.
All of the Leaves were taken out Of
the Dining Room Table and Mr.. Giles
pie had six Stacks all counted out when
they sat down. The Chips were two
Kopecks per Stack and Mr.. Gillespie
said it was not necessary to show any
Money on the Table. The Minute that
he started in to Bank on this Basis he
was loser.
Mrs Jinkins sat next to her Husband

time and tell her what to do. 1t re-

FaI tners in Poker. When Mrs jenkins
showed up Bullets and bumped him
for so Cents, he made several other low
Cracks about every one playing his or
her Hand.
1t was evident that Mr. Frisbie and
MI. Gillespie were the only two who
were up on the Game. They should
have connected with all the Coin. only
the Jinkins Family began to ring in
Miracles on them. One time Mrs. jim
kins drew three and filed rosy Flush.
Mr. Gillespie was in with three Type
Writers and Mrs. Frisbie had an ele-
CANT Full House and Six Cards held
up. They fed in the Checks until Mrs.
Gillespie kicked and said it began to
look like real Gambling, and then there
was a Showdown. Mrs. F'risbie SEEM
ed to be in all the Money until
they counted her Cards on her and then
they told her to back out. She said
she was willing to throw away one
Card, but it didn't go. Mrs. Jinkins
took the Pot and made so much Noise
about it that Mr.. Gillespie began to act
peevish Mrs. Frisbie, being Flat,
swiped one-half of what Mr.. Frisbie
had and never let on.
Then Mrs. Gillespie mistook a four
spot for a seven and was cleaned by
the Jinkins Combination, so she dug
into the Bank and took what She
needed.
About 1920, Mrs. Gillespie, who had
tapped the Bank for seven large iron
Dollars and played them in, regardless,
said Oh. pshaw! they were not play
ing in real Earnest anyway; SO she
went into the other Room and began
playing Mr.. Dooley'' on the Piano.
Mr. Frisbie had won SO and his Wife
had pinched it, twenty cents at Clip,
until he was down to one Blue and two
Whites and so Sore that he refused to
speak to any one. The Jinkins Duo
had their Heads together every Play.
By trading Cards and building up
Hands they succeeded in singing the
Expert about three times out of four.
In the Final Round of Roodles, preced

up Tray and a Nine and filled and
that was when Gillespie forgot he was

Language that he learned at the Club.
Mrs. Jinkins got on the High Horse
and cashed in. She picked out the

| in Velvet thrown up in front of her.
Gillespie had Tabs against all the 9th
ers but they went right in to help out
with the Music and left him there to

Mrs. Jinl<ins said it didn't seem right
to take all that Money, but she got
away wit il, just the same, and then
