as square as die. When Mr. Bryan
arose to speak the banquet room was

paying tribute to the great man who

STILL HAD USE FOR BOOTS.
kafir's Newly-Acquired Treasure Put
to Queer Use.

An army officer in charge Of a ma
tive district in South Africa presented
to the kair boy who acted as his par
ticular servant a pair Of strong, heavi-
ly nailed army boots.
The boy was delighted with the gift,
and at once sat down and put the
boots on. They were the very first
pair he had ever had in his life, and
for several days afterward he strut.
ted proudly about the camp with
them.
But at the end Of the week he ap-
peared as usual with bare feet and the
boots tied round his neck.
"Hello!" said his master. "Why
don't you wear your boots? Are they
to small for you?"
"Oh, no, sah," replied the kafir,
"they plenty big. Berry nice boots,
sab, but no good for walking or run
ming. Make UNI fellah too much slow,
sab. Keep boots now for wear in
bed."-London Answers.

CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
Clean Walls Are an Essential to
Sanitary Cooking.

It is not only important to know
how to cook. but it is equally impor.
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing in a dirty kitchen can never pro-
duce good food. The idea is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for neutrality-suspicious. for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have a light tint that the mer-
est fleck of dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. 1t is all folly expecting
clean food in a kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put a wall coating on a
kitchen wall that is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in it, or sour
milk in it if mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly flecking off, fall
ing into the food and the idea of food
favored with glue made from horses
hoofs is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory Sshould be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu-
larly in the spring and fall of each
year with a light tint.
The care of the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed owe every year, the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water. If there are ant
holes or any other insects in the pan
tries a thick putty of the wall coat
ing can be made and all the ant holes,
even small mice holes can be filled
with it which will protect the pantry
from the incursions of disagreeable
insects and mice.

BRAIN POWER
Increased by Proper Feeding.

A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared a fam
lily, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food
for brain work and to develop healthy
children. She writes:
Il am an enthusiastic proclaimer of
Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. l for
merly had no appetite in the morning
and for 8 years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
Unable to eat breakfast l felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage, cookies,
doughnuts or anything l happened to
find. Being a writer, at times my
head felt heavy and my brain asleep.
When | read of Grape-Nuts l began
eating 1t every morning, also gave it
to the children, including my 10
months old baby. who soon grew as
fat as a little pig, good natured and
contented.
II wrote evenings and feeling the
need of sustained brain power, began
eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts
with milk, instead Of my usual indi-
gestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for
dessert at night.
Il grew plump, nerves strong. and
when l wrote my brain was active and
clear; indeed, the dull head pain never
returned"

Why Korean Churches Grow.

One reason why church membership
does not mean more to some is be.
cause there are so few requirements
in order to become a member. The
spirit of self-sacrifice and personal eff.
fort are seldom emphasized. In Korea
10 convert expects to come into the
church until he has brought another
convert with him. What a reforma.
ton it would work in this country il
the churches here would adopt this
plan. The membership of the church
in Seoul, Korea, has quadrupled in a
year. There they pledge subscriptions
of time instead of money. Whatever
time a member pledges, he gives ur
his business and devotes all his time
in leading people to Christ. One mar
pledged three months. All pay theil
own expenses. Under this plan there
are so many converts that all the time
of the missionaries is given to train.
ing the converts. The churches in
Korea gain from so to 100 per cent. in
membership every year. One mar has
baptized over a thousand persons.

THE STORY.

uAD the prophet Nathan been alive
n perchance King Solomon would not
have transgressed the law of God so
grievously and gone after the gods
whom the fair wives of his harem
Worshiped. Nathan had always held
a strong influence over his royal mas
ter, and up to the time of his death
had maintained the spiritual condi-
tons of the kingdom at a
lively high level, but when Nathan
was gone, other influences were soon
at work to turn the heart of the king
in other directions than that of the
worship and service of the true God.
Chief among these influences was
that of he many beautiful women
whom King Solomon had taken to
wife among the nations about. More
and more was it apparent that in the
absence of the strong influence of Ma
than the power of the women over the
King was becoming stronger and
stronger. In fact, in the course of
time as King Solomon got along in
years it became a recognized fact that
the quickest way to secure a favor
from him was to obtain it trough the
INTERPRETATION of one of his ~fayorite
wives.
1t is not strange, therefore, that one
of the marked changes which should
have taken place had to do with the
religious condition of the people. for.
not one of the heather p-rincesses
who had been taken to wife by Solo
mon but had brought with her her
gods, and with the ascendancy of their
influence over Solomon came the re-
quest that high places be built for
these gods where public worship
might be held. And when the favor
lite women had all been thus provided
for, there came the clamor from the
other women that their gods be hon.
ored in a similar way, and that high
places be built in which they might
worship.
Ahijah the prophet of God had long
been watching the trend of events,
and his mind was deeply troubled.
Time and again he had sought audi
ence with the king and had spoken
against the growing idolatry, but the
king had put the matter away as Of
light concern. saying that it was but
natural that these %princesses should
wish to serve the gods whom they had
known and served in their own
lands.
