Texas Doctor Picturesque Figure

physician is held by his neighbors lie
attested in a way by the fact that he
was urged to make the trip to Wash
ington by and at the expense of his
friends in and near San Marcus. The
fund to pay the expense of the trip
was not contributed by any one philan-
throphically inclined person, but by
the entire community. The money was
raised by popular subscription.
The doctor came to Washington on
the special train Of the Texas delega-
tion, and during the week was an in
terested, as well as an interesting, par
ticipator in the proceedings and dem
onstrations Of the congress.
Another enthusiastic Texas delegate
was DR.. w, T. Jones of Fort Davis.
The day before DR.. Jones left his homo
at Fort Davis to come to Washington
he rode horseback As miles into the
country to see patient The round
trip was 80 miles. The following day
he rode go miles to the railroad sta
ton, where he joined the other dele
gates bound for Washington. The doc
tor, being used to such experiences,
was not greatly fatigued by his two
trips through the country.

dinner will be the first cabinet dinner

entertainment as small dance, the
number of invitations will not fall far

in the East room of the White House,
and, according to present intentions,
will follow the plan adopted when Miss

year. Miss Roosevelt is only 18 years
old, and the guests will probably be-
the youngest assemblage Of the kind
that ever gathered in the White House.
The fact that the dance will be
given during the holidays means that
special effort will be made to have
on hand Miss Roosevelt's school

Her brother will come to Washington
for the occasion, and Miss Christine
Roosevelt and Miss Dorothy Roosevelt,
cousins of the debutante, are also ex-

In all. about 200 young New York
ers will be invited. At least that
number was present at Miss Alice's
debut, and the president has been
careful that his children should not
weaken their Affiliations with their
New York friends. Young Theodore

THE STORY.

IF JEREMIAH had hoped when he
was carried down into Egypt with
the people under Johanan that there
would be turning of the people back
to God and a longing for return to
Jerusalem, he was forced to abandon
such thought after few months so
iourn in the land Of the Pharaohs. On
every hand he saw, evidences of the
utter abandon of the Jews to the
Egyptian influences. Partly to ingrati-
ate themselves into the favorable con-
sideration of the Egyptians and partly
to crafty an intensely religious ma
ture which demanded some form of
worship, the Jews seemingly We'd
with each other in seeing how COM
pletely they could do homage to the
gods Of the Egyptians and they be-
came regular devotees at the affairs
of these gods, burning incense and
pouring out drink offerings before the
queen Of heaven,
At Migdol. and at Tahpanhes, and
at Noph, and in the country of Path
ros, where the Jews had settled, the
same conditions prevailed, as Jeremi-
ali the prophet discovered as he
passed from place to place and beheld
the idolatrous practices Of the Jews.
1t seemed as though the heart Of the
prophet would break with its burden
Of sorrow at the sights which he be-
held God seemingly was utterly for
gotten, and only the names OF the gods

sERMoNETTE.

DlsIoyal to their God In their
own land, the Jews fell easy VIC
Tins to the influences with
which they found themselves
surrounded In Egypt, and Il was
not long before they were in
duIging In all tho ldolatrous
practices Of the Egyptians, burn
ing incense to the queen Of
heaven and pouring out drink
offerings unto her.
Then the word Of the Lord
came to Jeremiah concerning
all Of the Jews that dwelt In
Egypt.
Note two things:
First. The mercy and long
suffering kindness Of God In
seeking to turn his people from
their evil ways. Despite their
wicked refusal to listen to his
voice and not 90 down into
Egypt, he goes after the wan
dering sheep there and strives
to bring them back to himself.
God never gives up a soul until
the utmost effort on his part
has been exhausted to win It
back to the paths Of righteous
ness. Remember that.
Second. Johanan's evil pur-
pose In dragging jeremiah on
to Egypt turns to the bringing
about Of good. jeremiah In
Egypt will not be silent, and
there amidst the wickedness Of
the Jews he lifts his voice
against their idolatrous prac-
tices, and warns them Of the
awful evils that are to como
upon them because Of their
wrong doing.
Notice, also, az you read this
forty-fourth chapter, the reply
which the people make to Jere-
miah, betokening the depths
spiritually to which they had
fallen. Before they had come
Into Egypt they had spoken Of
"our God" and had excused
their refusal to obey the words
Of jeremiah by declaring that
he, the prophet, had spoken
falsely. But now, after per-
haps a years sojourn in Egypt,
they 90 many lengths farther
and bIasphemously declare
that blessing came not from
God, but from the queen Of
heaven. Thus regulating God,
they step over the line, where
II only remains for God to bring
final Judgment upon them.
II is a solemn fact that there
does come a time In Gods deal
ings with every heart when the
Spirit Of God speaks its final
word Of entreaty. When such
a time comes, then nothing re-
mains for that soul but the day
Of Judgment and the condemna-
ton Of God, as he shall say:
depart from me-"

Nourishing Drink.-So many now
take for luncheon a nourishing drink
at a soda fountain and some substi-
tute 1t for a breakfast. Thus, an egg
shaker at home has often proved a
most sensible investmeh. This can
be purchased at druggist supply
house or procured by order of any Or
binary druggist. Buy a deep, flaring
tumbler along with the egg shaker.
The shaker costs $3.50 and is of
white metal, silver lined and triple
nickel plate on outside with an air
tight cover. One strictly fresh egg, a
heaping teaspoonful of matted milk, a
dash of either sugar or salt then fill
the glass three-quarters f"ll OF rich
milk and you have a most sxcellent
substitute for breakfast
A Novel Idea.-Where insertions of
either lace or embroidery are used for
trimming, place fat steel or case
knife between the insertion and ma
terial Run the scissors along the
steel and you will find 1t will be much
easier to cut the material and 1t will
prevent all possibility of cutting the
insertion.
Making Beds.-A hospital-made bed
is constant source of satisfaction
and comfort. The bottom sheet should
be put on and tucked In separate and
distinct from any other covering, and
should be drawn as tight as drum
head, without wrinkle All tuck-ins
must extend under the mattress as far
as possible, thus. II the sheet be
wide, the weight of the occupant will
hold it tight.
Towels.-When there Is any danger
of towels being hung or thrown over
nails or anything metal where rust
may stain. sew on about three inches
OF narrow white tape in the middle
and on the edge of the hem at each
end Fasten the tape securely only
at each end by turning in the edge
