HIS WINTER COAT
The Pet Had Made a Bewildering
Change in Color.
(PriZe.)

nH, what a grand vacation
Joe and 1 were looking
ahead to. We were going to
stay on grandpa's farm for three
long, happy months and where
is there a city boy or girl who
does not enjoy frolics on a farmf
We made our preparations for
departing as soon as possible and
after a weary ride on a slow
train we arrived at our haven,
the farm. Next day we went
into the woods near the house,
to hunt. AS we were strolling
along, we saw a large red weasel.
We knew it was not a squirrel,
because it's tail was not bushy;
so we gave chase at once for the
purpose of capturing him alive.
He soon disappeared into a small
hole in the ground. We were
not going to give him up if we
could prevent it, sc we procured
a spade and pick-axe and after
some hard work, managed TO I'M
earth him. We carried him back
to the farm in triumph and
showed him proudly to grandpa
and grandma, who admired him
as much as we did. On our re-
turn to the city we left the wea-
sci on the farm for grandpa to
take care of for us thru the win
ter. We thought much about the
weasel during our school hours.
About Christmas Joe and l were
invited to spend u two weeks
vacation on the farm, and upon
arriving there we naturally
wanted to see our weasel. You
can imagine our surprise when
we beheld a white weasel in

Happy Vacation Days Spent Amid the Delights Offered
by the Old Red Barn.

HAVE always lived near a large red barn and many
= hours of my summer vacation have been spent turn

door in the hayloft where we pulled up the children with a
long, thick rope. There is one large room which is always
filed with hay in winter time, but not in summer. In this
room there was a long rope fastened to a pulley. On this

every part Of the barn there was a trapeze extending
from the ceiling. But the most fun Of all was playing

REV. CHARLES SMITH ONI
MAKING MELODY.

Sermon at Grand Avenue Baptist
church-POpuIar Songs All Right in
Their PIace-But We Must shun Evil
SOngs-The Great Legacy of UpIift-
ing Hymns.
At the Grand Avenue Baptist church
yesterday morning the pastor, Rev.
Charles G. Smith, preached an excellent
sermon ON the topic, Making Melody to
the Lord Ephesians 5:19, Singing and
making melody in your heart to the
Lord" He said, in part.
"st. Paul was an optimist. He re-
fused to believe that there could be ir-
retrievable defeat in the cause of right
eousness. He refused to believe in pes
mon Of old age, which binds its slave to
his task of condemnation and enchains
him to a prison without a sky. He was
a man Of unquenchable hope and he be-
lieyed that the gospel Of Christ was the
one anacea-rightly applied-for all
the woes of humanity, and the one full
crum to lift men to plane of high and
noble living. In spite of calumny and
execration he went on his way rejoicing,
making all the ages rich with a legacy
of sacred melody.
This text Is a sample Of the golden
vein of praise which coursed through
his whole ministry. 1t Is a. clarion call
sweet and clear-to Gods children in
all ages to make the bird-note promi-
|nent in their lives and to march through
the night of earth-as Jesus passed
into Gethsemane-wit a song on our
lips and with q melody in our hearts to
the Lord.
What shall we sing? The apostle
says, Psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs Here is a wide field Of mex
haustible matter The Psalms of Da-
Vid, paraphrased, make inspiring ma
