1.-THE one big disadvantage that girls
suffer-" said the large-hearted, elderly
gentleman, 'fs not having pockets. OF
course they have pockets in their coats,
but those, I should judge, are generally
too small to be of much use, and besides,
a coat isn't always sure to be handy.

to put their handkerchiefs or pocketbooks
in. Not at ALL Pockets are first and
foremost to put hands in. Oh, yes. old
maid, grammar school mistresses say to
their students: Boys, stand up straight,
and take your hands out of your pockets
That's because they're women who can't
remember their girlhood. You watch the
boys after they've done it, and how do
they look? Not just awkward and hdg-
ETY., but as If something had been left
unsewed-as If there were raw edges
hanging. But when those boys get out
of the school room, just see their hands
Jerk back to their pockets. and notice how
much more complete they look. Clothes
set better they hold their heads up, and
they appear generally as if they were
self-respecting and worth something in
the world. The poor girl, from the time
she's a kid until she becomes matured
woman, has to endure existence with that
unfinished feeling continually hanging
over her.
THAT isn't the worst of 1t, either. When

18th and goth verses inclusive.
The Bible explains it all in one
verse: "The wrath of man shall
praise Thee (God); the remainder
of wrath Thou shalt restrain"
psalm 76:ro.) Judas passed just
Judgment on his own act when he
returned the silver to the priests

The most profound scholars of
the ages have spent their lives in
the study of the Bible and have
confessed themselves unable to
fathom the depths of its matchless
beauty or scale the heights of its
grandeur. Paul was one of the
most learned men of his day, when
men spoke Greek and poetized in
Latin and sang in Hebrew. After
his eyes were opened to the facts of
the true relation of man to his
Maker and what divine revelation
meant, he wrote: EVERY scrip
ture inspired Of God is profitable
for teaching, for reproof, for cor
rection, for instruction which is in
righteousness" (R. V. and Tim.
3:I6.) He had charged the youth
full Timothy that the scriptures
alone were able to make him wise
unto salvation;" therefore, for the
salvation of others, "preach the
word" We could add the testi-
mony of such minds as William l..
Gladstone, England's greatest
statesman; Pere Hyacinthe,
Frances greatest pulpit reasoner;
Judge Strong, of our own supreme
bench; William II. Seward; Abra-
ham Lincoln; Grover Cleveland;
Theodore Roosevelt, and hosts OF
other men of brain and heart who
have made the Bible the textbook
of their lives. But fools will con-
iinue to speak and write of the
Bible as a book Of fables and Christ
as a mere man, ad nauseam.

conducted according TO the ritual
by Consul G. w. Dunbar in a very

the same thing happened in the
medical world in the case of DR..

mixed with other simple remedies
was practically a sure specific for
eczema, psoriasis, barber's itch,
salt Rheum, and other itching skin

such as glycerine and thymol COM

General Compson Post No. 22,
G.. "A. r., through its committee
desires to express its thanks to the
citizens of st. Johns for their many
acts of kindness and courtesy ex-
tended to them on Memorial day.
Our thanks are due to the press for
the liberal use of its columns; to
Rev. Gates and the ministers of St.
Johns for services on Memorial
Sunday; to citizens and children for
furnishing many beautiful flowers
for the occasion, for decorating the
graves of our deceased comrades;
to the st. Johns Brass Band for its
generous liberality in furnishing
music; to the owners of the steam
ferry in donating the use of their
boat for the observance of the ser
vices by the w. X. {.
The annual visit to the schools
of St. Johns, Portsmouth, PENN
sula and Ockley Green were un-
usually interesting, where the COM
rades were so cordially received by
both teachers and children and the
presentation of beautiful flowers
brought forth the most generous
feeling of loyalty towards those
who had offered up their early life
in protection of our country; show
ing that the children Of today are

Summer Has Came.

N.Y. what lovely nights we are
having A lovers moon, sweet
scented, velvety clover for a carpet,
a leafy maple to keep the dew from
the pretty curly head, a sweetheart
and hand holding match but we
will give no names-that would be
rude.
Then when we reached home and
sought Our humble couch, at about
a dozen o clocks at night, flock OF
musical cats began serenade, or
camp meeting, as the case may be;
then just as we threw the last stick
of stovewood our wife had cut to
fry the beefsteak with and returned
to Our bed a string of river boats
took up the refrain and we would
count seven distinct echoes from
every toot of their whistles; aud as
the last echo said goodbye away up
the Germantown road, as il slipped
over into the Tualitan valley, a
bunch of dogs in the next lot got
into a political discussion which
broke up in a riot; and all this time
we had double barreled shot gun
in our castle which the city ordi.
nance would not permit us to use
to assist in making the night in
teresting.
But it was lovely night, soft,
balmy, salubrious, and when the
disturbing elements had quieted
down you could hear the trees bark
as you watched the horseny up the
creek and the cowslip in the grass.
There is no place like St. Johns.
