Cane Cod Foo.

Yes" remarked the Down Easter,
1--WE do have fog along Cape Cod some
times. One night the fog came up and
in the morning when went to milk
l couldn't find the old COW. Knew
where she was in the habit of lying,
though, and followed her easy enough.
Got to her just in time, too,
why, l just went through the hole
she made in the fog-sort of a tunnel
like-and pretty soon / came up to
her. She was almost smothered. You
see the fog had packed ahead of her
and she'd damned her horns into it
and got stuck. Had to chop her out.
You may believe it or not, but I'll
show you the cow any time you come
round."-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the Importance
Of the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy. If they did
1t would save them many a dollar
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot Of INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out Of the business.
When a manufacturer adopts
trade mark he assumes the entire ro-
sponsibility for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business repu-
ton in his hands-out in the lime
light-"on the square" with the buy
er Of his goods, with the dealer, and
with himself.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out Inducements" offer
ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand - sidesteps
responsibility, and when these infe-
rior goods come back" it's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example Of the kind of pro-
lection afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's adver-
Using Of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty Of puri-
ty in White Lead is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National
Lead Company make to send free to
any address a blow-pipe and instruc-
tons how to test the white lead for
themselves. The testing outfit is be-
ing sent out from the New York
office of the company, Woodbridge
Building.

SERMONETTE.


How different the manner of
! Hezekiah when desperate condi-
! tons faced the nation from that of
! Ahaz. The latter turned farther
! from God. The other drew nearer
I to God.
Trouble works curse or blessing
to the life. 1t either drives from
] God or links up closer to God.
As soon as the evil tidinas
! reached the king he laid aside his
I kinely robes and "went into the
! house of the Lord" An excellent
thing to do.
] He might have called a council
of the chief men of his nation and
! sought by the wisdom of men to
1 solve the problems that faced
I him. But no. He knew God well
!, enough to want to get near Him
| in his trouble. Blessed and for
J tunate indeed is the man who thus
meets his troubles.
But not only did he seek to get
\ right with God himself and to lay
! his cause in His hands, but he
| sent at nee and enlisted the SYM
! pathy and help of Gods prophet,
| and in honoring Gods prophet by
] his condolences and his plea for
| help he was %honoring himself.
J We fail sometimes in our efforts
to meet trying situations because
! we do not give God a chance to
speak to. us through His chosen
! messengers.
! Hezekiah's messengers found
the prophet prepared to receive
/ them and send them back with a
J message of encouragement. God
/ had been there before them en-
! tightening the understanding of
the prophet so that he was able
! to return the answer which the
king sought.
!, Is it not wonderful to think how
God goes before US to prepare the
way? We go perhaps with trem-
bling heart to seek the help we
need, and 10, we find Gods spirit
has been there before us and has
prepared the friend to speak the
word of which we are so much in
need.
Again a little later when Heze-
kiah received a profane and
threatening letter from the hand
of the foe which. was encamped
against Jerusalem he ventured no
reply until he had taken it and
spread it before the Lord in the
temple and had made the matter
a subject of earnest prayer. Oh,
that we might manifest the same
simple, chiIdlike spirit and spread
before the Lord all the knotty
problems of life. God would not
fail US, but would give us the wis
dom which would confound the
mighty.

On the nocfnrs

Mrs. Mary G. Baker Eddy, who, of
course. has no faith in medicine, told
. Western Christian Scientist, at one
of her latest audiences, an anecdote
about a friend OF hers.
This friend, a thin and nervous
woman, could no sleep. She visited
her physician and the man said:
DO you eat anything just before
going to bed?"
"Oh, no, DOCTOR" the patient re-
piled.
Well said the physician, "just
keep a pitcher of milk and some bis
cult beside you, and every night, the
last thing you do, make a light meal"
But DOCTOR" cried the lady, you
told me on no account to eat anything
before retiring"
Pooh, pooh," said the doctor, that
was three months ago. Science has
made enormous strides since then"

WENT TO THE FRONT TO DIE,
Pathetic Farewell Made by Loyal
Subjects of the Mikado.

During the Chino-Japanese war the
members of one of the missionary
families were living in the part of
Chemulpo near the barracks where
the Japanese were CHARTERED until
they could be sent by sea to the front.
In Korea with Marquis to-" by DR..
George Trumbull Laid, contains a pa
thetic little story in connection with
this family.
One day a petty officer came up on
the porch of the house, unlimited; but
after accepting gratefully the cup of
tea offered him, being unable to speak
any English, he went away, leaving
the object of his apparent intrusion
unexplained.
Soon afterward he returned with
some 20 of his comrades, mostly pet
ty officers, accompanying him. And
when the hostess was becoming
somewhat alarmed at the number for
whom she might be expected to fur
nish tea and cakes, one of the COM
pany explained in broken English that
they had come to see the baby, a girl
about two years old.
The little one was brought out by
the mother and placed in the arms
of the speaker, who carried her along
the line formed of his comrades and
gave each one a chance to see her, to
smile at her, and to say a few words
to her in an unknown tongue.
On going away, after this somewhat
formal paying of respects to 1.-The
baby" the Japanese officer still fur
Their explained.
Madam" said he, tomorrow morn
ing we are going to the front, and we
do not expect ever to return. But be-
fore we go to die, we wanted to bid
good-by to the baby"
The number of the regiment to
which these soldiers belonged was
taken note Of by the mother. Their
expectation came true; they did not
return.-Youth's Companion.

THE STORY.

CONDITIONS in Jerusalem were
~ reaching a desperate state. The
words of Rabshakeh, the general of
the great Assyrian army which was
encamped against the city, had struck
terror into the hearts of everyone.
n only a few stanch followers of
King HeZekiah sustained him in his
determination to make no sort of com
promise with the enemy. In fact, there
was rising throughout the city an I'M
d%ercurrent of sentiment in favor of &C
cepting the offer of Rabshakeh. 1t
were better, they reasoned, to yield
while yet they might obtain mercy
than to be put to the sword after the
hosts of the Assyrians had swept over
the city.
1t was all well enough t talk about
d%eliverance which God would send.
but. who was there that could not see
that their case was hopeless and that
the forces of Rabshakeh were drawing
in closer upon the city every day?
Were not the words of this great
Assyrian general true? Had not Ha-
math and Arphad and Sepharvaim
been crushed by his mighty arm?
Had not Samaria felt the force OF his
wrath? How her could Jerusalem
hope to escape? Rabshakeh had chal-
lenged the city to provide warriors
for 1000 horses which he would fur
nish. Why, there were not half that
number able to carry spear and ride
upon the back of a charger. There
was grim humor il the challenge of
Rabshakeh, and it drove home more
keenly than ever the hopeless weak
ness of the city.
1t is not at all strange therefore in
the presence of that powerful Assyrian
army and the known helplessness of
the city, that the words of the king
and the encouragement of the prophet
Isaiah did not carry much weight.
and that there sprang up here
and there all owe the city smol
dering fires which threatened to
break GU in open instruction.
which could have but one end, the
throwing open of the gates of the city
to the enemy.
In the palace itself the disaffection
was strong and it was not long before
a conspiracy vas on foot to betray the
city into the hands of Rabshakeh.
What good this sackcloth, these
vain prostrations and pleadings in the
temple, this sending to the Prophet |
Isaiah?" they impatiently inquired.
