Hard workers the Females.

But l cannot close without one SIM
pie paragraph. to state that this ser
mon of all sermons should teach its
lesson To our wives and mothers and
sisters and daughters as no other SER
mon l have ever preached. Have you
not noticed how l have always used
the feminine gender in speaking of the
ant. "She does this" ''She does
that" "She does the other thing"
The reason speak thus is because
the naturalist tells us that the little
black ant we see In the roadway be-
longs to the feminine gender. Yes,
the hard workers OF the ant hills are
always. females. No sooner is the
nuptial journey taken than the male
ant disappears. So, when l come to
the house of God. to the place where
Christian workers dwell. find in
evitably that the wives and the moth
ers and the sisters and the daughters
are the leaders there In Christian
work AS the mother rocks the cradle.
so is the child developed for God. 1t
is the sisters Christian life that leads
the brother To Christ. 1t Is the way
in which wife lives that decides the
way the husband lives O woman.
today, with the ant hill as my pulpit,

Christ? Will you not, here and now.

1t HELPED Business.

An amusing tale comes from Konigse
berg. A Russian lady, while looking
at the goods in certain shop, chance6
to see a Japanese saucer, which she
took up and flung to the ground, say
ing: $50 may the cursed Japanese be
treated" The shop assistant quietly
picked up the pieces and, after wrap
ping them in paper, handed them to
the lady, telling her that paymen
was expected for them. Much ex
cited, the Russian once more flung
the china to the floor, this time shout
ing: "And so may the Germans be
treated" This was too much for the
patriotic German saleswoman to stand,
and she replied by dealing the lady a
smart box on the ear, saying: "And
may the Russians ever thus be served" !"
Great excitement ensued, and the
trade done by the shop has been much
increased by the good Konigsberger'b
desire to see and admire their patriotis
fellow citizen.-Chicago Daily NewA

The Prince and the judge.

The late Sir Robert Wright, or Mr..
Justice Wright, as he was perhaps
better known. wore garments of the
bucolic pattern when in the country.
It is related that the Prince of Wales
was once out with a shooting party,
of which Sir Robert was one. The
judge wore his usual farmer-like cos
tune, and his pipe was in full blast.
The prince entered into a conversa-
