THE STORY.

Tor three days the children of Is
l rael had been encamped by the side
of Jordan. The swift-moving stream
flood full, for it was the time of the
spring freshets and the waters had
overflowed their banks-seemed to
separate them effectually from the re.
gions which stretched out on the
other side In verdant beauty as far
as the eye could see. And more than
ever did the people turn with half en-
vious eyes upon their brethren of the
tribes Of Reuben and Cad and part
OF the tribe of Manasseh as they saw
them comfortably settled upon their
inheritance. Their flocks and herds
spread themselves over the plains and
seemed to share the feelings of their
masters that at last they had found
rest and were at home.
To be sure Moses had granted their
request In asking for Inheritance upon
that side Of Jordan, but It seemed to
the people waiting there by the side
OF the swollen Jordan, separated from
their own inheritance, that the tribes
OF Reuben, Cad and Menasseh were
getting quite the best Of matters. And
now 1t was the third day since Joshua
had summoned the people together
and had declared that within three
days they should cross jordan. What
q day that had been! What reioic.
Ing In the camp. and how the people
had made haste to move from Shittim.
where they had been encamped for 40
many weeks, and to come to the very
brink Of the river.
And Joshua had sem out messages
to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites
and to half the tribe of Manasseh'
saying.
Remember the word which Moses
the servant Of the Lord commanded
you, saying, The Lord your God hath
given you rest, and hath given Won
this land. Your wives, your litt,a
ones and your cattle shall remain In
the land which Moses ave Won on
this side Jordan: but We shah pass
before your brethren armed. all the

Policeman Flynn certainly was in

regularly passed his corner in sub
lection by his reputation for resource
fulness and the uncertainty as to
what he would do next. When he
finally humbled the contractor who
was always in a hurry, and cut in and
out Of the line Of teams in a most haz-
ardous way. his authority never again
was questioned. Another policeman
would have caught the horse by the
bride some day, thrown him back on
his launches, and cursed or arrested
the driver. but Policeman Flynn never
does things as others would do them.
He bided his time, and finally, when
the contractor was caught In a pocket
and had to draw up, the policeman
promptly stuck his club between the

To Make a Closet.

To improvise a closet put up a long
board shelf on iron brackets. Swing
a pole or stick under 1t, attached by
wire to the board. On the pole put
wire hangers which will slide con.
veniently along. Clothing hooks may
be secured into the board. As for cur.
tains, do not box-plait them In, but
put only a box plated or a plain rua1e
around the top and hang the curtains
by small brass rings upon wires
placed underneath the edge of the
board and kept there by screw eyes
at the corners and where the curtains
part.
Muslin-covered dressing tables
made from boxes should have the
draperies similarly hung. For these
the box plating should be attached to
the muslin cover of the top. Two Of
these should be made, since the top
will need laundering far oftener than
the draperies.
For a closet like the one described
two boards may be put up, forming a
shelf, under the curtains for hats and
sewing.

How Policeman Barney Flynn hap

Whatever Of truth there may be in
his assertion, the fact remains that
he was put on crossing duty, and he
went about his work with the same
that characterized him in all
that he had previously undertaken.
He was the supreme ruler of that

HOUSEHOLD HINTS,

Put a few drops of ammonia on a
rag to rub finger-marks from looking,
glasses or windows.
Ether is excellent for removing
grease. but an easy way is to soak the
article in cold water, to which has
been added a little borax.
When stewing fruit never use a
metal spoon; a wooden spoon is best,
ana those with short handles are most
convenient for thick substances.
Pateht-leather shoes should be
cleaned with milk, or a little sweet
oil may be rubbed into them. The
soies and heels of such shoes are. of
course, to be cleaned with backing.
Clothes-pins boiled a few moments
and quickly dried, once or twice a
month, become more flexible and dur.
able. C%lothes-llnes will last longer and
Keep In better order if occasionally
treated in the same way.
When loaves are baked In too hot
an oven and the outside crust gets too
brown, do not attempt to cut it off,
out as soon as the bread Is cold rub it
over with a coarse tin crater and re.
move all the dark-brown crust.
A black leather travelling bag can
always be kept in capital condition by
mixing n tablespoonful of sweet oil
with two tablespoonfuls of milk and
rubbing this well into the bag. After
1t has thoroughly dried 1t should be
polished with a chamois leather.
In cleaning the brass around the
keyhole 1t is almost impossible not to
soil the surrounding wood. Get a
piece OF cardboard about four inches
square, cut a hole in it the shape of
the brass and put it over the keyhole
when cleaning, and the wood will not
be touched.

SERMONETTE.

Z There is a beautiful picture
: here in this service which the
Reubenites and the Gadjtes and
! part of the tribe Of Manasseh
{ performed for their brethren.
It emphasized the vital rela-
{ tionship which one bears to 9TH
r about him, and the RESPONSE
{ biIity which one must share in
! securing blessings for the lives
I of others.
T These men had found their in
! heritance. They were at home
! with their wives and little ones,
! and fiocks and herds. From a
I purely selfish standpoint they
! had nothing more to gain by war
; and conflict.
But they must needs cross Jor-
. dan, too,for their brethren needed
, them. These had not yet found
! rest. They had not yet come
into possession of their inherit
: ance, and SO the Reubenites and
> the Gadites and the men of Man.
!. asseh willingly left their pos.
; sessions behind to serve their
! brethren and help them obtain
the blessing in which they we're
: already rejoicing.
There is nothing which Is re-
; ceivlng so much emphasis to.
day as the duty which man owes
: to his brethren. Every mar
oWes something to his fellow
; man.
Have you attained the land of
: promise, and come into your
. rishtful possession? Then your
duty towards your brother who
has not yet obtained the bless-
ing Is increased many fold.
You must not, you cannot say:
This Is mine, | will enjoy II.
Let my brother look out for him

others.
"And they passed yer armed

It is n thing to be willing to

The preparation which these

to be Of real service. They

Of deer IS subject which the Vermont Legislature
will have consider soon or the state will invite

shooting Of these animals at times other than the

claimed by many that the amount OF damage done
by deer was inconsiderable. but the experience of
Wtndham county owners OF farms is proof the
contrary
The most conspicuous instance IS IN the case Of

tained heavy loss. Out OF 1000 young trees in Mr.
Barrows' apple orchard, near Marlboro, about
seven hundred have been damaged seriously, the
breaking on the branches and destroying the
past years growth. Mr. Barrows says there are
afty deer within a short distance OF his
orchard that it IS impossible TO fence against
them. lie says he will protect his property next
year shooting whatever deer is necessary. and he
believes jury OF his peers would protect him IN
doing so.
