todian allowed him to mingle with the
other passengers and enjoy himself as
he saw fit.
Herrera developed a fondness for
strong drink and for some time prior
to his death was in more or less of a
maudlin condition. He fell madly in
love with a lady passenger. His over
lures were repelled and one still night,
when all ON board were asleep but
the watch and when the watch was
not looking, Herrera crept to the door
of the stateroom where slept the lady
who had scorned his love and drank
the contents OF bottle Of chloroform.
His dead body was found there some
time later.
It is understood that Herrera's rela-
tives had Slaughtered out the legal
tangle in which his skilful penman-
ship had involved Edouardo and that
prodigaPs welcmoe awaited the
forger at Valparaiso.

Now glue your eyes upon the pest
Who wrings worried groan
From every one who's ever used
The party telephone;
oh. many pests and various they are:

The measly pesty coward who butts

Not always it's woman
Though most generally so;-
So very cute and witty
And humorous, you knowl
She may be cute and funny-but the

Oh, can't we some way stop it?-

And puts lines upon our brown
For all the pesty creatures must the

To the woody caterpillar who butts IN

mans spirit and a woman's ministry.
Men ask IL 1t is possible for a clergy
man who breaches to more women than
men to avoid molding his sermon to
woman's nature. VIII not the preach
ing of the gospel, 1t is asked, lose some
of its manly tone? Il believe that the
ministry needs to guard against this
tendency. The church should be for
men as we'll as for women. Women
walk by faith more than men. They
believe in the ultimate outcome Of
righteousness. In women we find the
strong faith that has ever been the
stronghold OF the church. II the church
has any spirit of self-sacrifice that
spirit is in it's women" 4
