As THE BOY UNDERSTOOD.
Probably to His Mind Conflict Of Au.
thority Was Vital.

In one OF the Atlanta Sunday schools
recently the lesson for the day had to
do with Mammon and the corrupting
influences of great riches.
Toward the close of the exercises,
says Harper's Magazine, the superin-
tendent called upon the infant class
to repeat the golden text, which had
special reference to mans inability to
serve his Creator and the money god
at one and the same time. The class
failed to respond as it should, when
the superintendent, noticing his own
young hopeful in the ranks, who had
that very morning been drilled thor
oughly on the text, called to him. The
response was immediate, though a
slight departure from the original. for
In voice that was distinctly heard in
all parts of the room there came the
following modification:

Farm Work for Women.

For various reasons, one of which is
that farmers wives and daughters
have all the work they can do in the
house at harvest time. II is not likely
that women will ever do much outside
farm labor except In emergency, says
the Indianapolis Star. At the same
time II must be said that the old argu-
ments against It will not hold. II is
no heavier than work at the wash tub
or the ironing board, and is far more
healthful than bending over the sew
ing machine day in and day out Yet
these occupations are regarded as
strictly feminine and no protest is
ever raised against them save by
women themselves now and then. The
exertion is no greater than is called
for by gardening. which Is constantly
being recommended to women by
physicians as a means OF building up
their health; nor does II call for great
er physical exertion than golf, or
make them more weatherbeaten.
Though women are not likely To en-
gage In such work extensively II is
not worth while to lift the hands in
horror at the thought of their do

Keen Cool About Crop SHORTAGES.

Nature has the habit of striking
averages. Bumper crops every year
would mean overproduction, which.
like overpopulation, nature abhors and
