the code Of honor of the cadets estab-

the young men to fight. When ordi-

turous Betty Bowen, he bought and
fitted up the mansion with magnifi-
cent expenditure, calculated to make
the eyes Of the plain old Dutch burgh-
ers start from their heads. Mistress
Betty had lived, to put it mildly, be-

merchant prince. AS Betty Bowen,
the rustic beauty had broken the heart
and stamped on the pride Of many an
impresslonable Massachusetts, beau.
To her was born child which so
closely resembled George Washington

came back several times afterward to
claim her little one, but Freelove Bal

Betty was gloriously lovely, with

that If it is improper for public func-

THE JUMEL MANSION.
ONCE THE SCENE OF REVELRY

Where Scores of Celebrities Were
Entertained, Dined and Wined
by One of the Most Fascinating
Beauties of Her Time.

To the people who believe with
Shakespeare that "all the worlds

merely players" there Is nothing OF
greater fascination than an old house.
Here have been enacted the most
charming comedies and the most pit
ifui tragedies, and ofttimes. as in the
case of real actors, breaking hearts
have been covered by smiles and mirth
while bright, laughing eyes have ached
with unshed tears.
One of the most interesting of the
many historical mansions in this coun-
try is the brave old Jumel house which
stands on Washington Heights, In New
York, and Is known as one of the few
remaining vestiges Of the old-tme
architectural splendor of that city. 1t

Mary Phillips, of Philllpsburg Manor,
Yonkers, who became the wife Of Col

The True Way.

Only when a man tries to live the
Divine life can the Divine Christ
manifest Himself to him. Therefore
the true way for you to find Christ is
not to go cropping in a thousand books.
1t is not for you to try evidences
about a thousand things that people
have believed Of Him, but 1t is for
you to undertake so great life, so de-
voted a life, so pure a life, so ser
vioeable a life, that you cannot do II
except by Christ, and then see wheth.

tressing to those readers Of love stories
who believe that happiness and title
are synonymous. There Is scarcely a
titled house in Europe without Its
scandal-its black blot. The story Of
the nobility is story of wealth and
poverty, of extravaganza and swindled
creditors, of women who have gone the

talents to add to the population Of hell.
There are some fine exceptions that

The Fate of Greed.

the street. He carried an old wallet,
and asked every passer-by for a few
cents. AS he was grumbling at his lot
he kept wondering why 1t was that
people who had so much were never
satisfied, but were always wanting
more.

wear, should be satisfied" said the
beggar.
Just at that moment Fortune came
down the street. She saw the beggar
and stopped. She said to him:
Listen! l have long wished to help
you. Hold your wallet, and l will pour
this gold into 1t. But 1 will pour only
on this condition: All that falls upon
the ground shall become dust, do you

"Oh, yes, understand" said the
beggar.
"Then have a care" said Fortune
"Your wallet is old"
He opened the wallet quickly, and

The Discipline of Conflict.

II there were no struggles there
would be no conquests; If there were
no possibilities Of defeat, there could
be no opportunity to sing the song of
triumph. Hence, the discipline of
conflict and trial in this world is an
absolute necessity to the perfection
of the Christian life both here and
hereafter. Our heavenly Father does
not afflict willingly, nor grieve the
children of men, but He does seek our
perfection, our prosperity, and our
glory; and If nothing but battles can
make victors, the battle we must
have; If only the rough sea can pro
duce the good sailor, then the storm
must come.
