What the Boy Wanted.

A boy picked up a bit of dried
Orange peel from the pavement.
1t was an action that must have ap-
pealed to the tender sensibilities of a
stout lady, who was passing with a
man. presumably her husband, for she
stopped to exclaim:
THAT poor child's hungry! Wait,
pa, I'm going to give him money to
buy one good meal, anyhow"
She opened a s~ilver-meshed hand
bag blazoned with gold initials, and
went toward the boy. She didn't give
him money, however. for just then he
fitted the peel into a bean shooter
and SEN it whizzing toward another
boy a few yards ahead. The really
beautiful pity died out Of the stout
woman's face, and as she joined her
companion she shut her bag with .
snap.
THAT little rascal doesn't want
food. He wants a whipping"

BEST FORM OF EXERCISE.
Boston Girls Enthusiastic Over the
Use of DumbbelIs.

There is a good deal of enthusiasm
who are always up on the latest for
keeping ones self in good trim. They
say that dumbbells are better than
plain calisthenics without any ap-
paratus, because they give you some
thing definite to do. These girls have
found it a great temptation in the
ordinary exercises simply to wave the
arms and legs about without any par
ticular object. Dumbbell drills are
better than raising chairs with one
finger and standing-on-your-head
stunts, because the average girl can
do them, while she often loses her
courage with the impossible exercises.
In n boarding house in Boston,
where a number of business girls
live, there is a dumbbell brigade,
which meets in one of the girls
rooms every night. Each girl comes
in a kimono and armed with a pair of
lightweight dumbbells. Then they go
through a number Of simple exercises,
which one of the crowd, who used to
be a college girl, learned in the gym.
The girls all say that they are
having a little trouble in reitting their
clothing, as a result of their dumbbell
drill, but they are wonderfully i'm
proved in figure and carriage since
they began work some weeks ago.
Their five exercises are worth know
ing, especially to girls who are get
ting a bit round shouldered from bend
ing " their desks all winter. so here
they are:
Stand erect with the right foot
slightly in advance. Grasping the
dumbbells firmly, stretch both arms
up as high as possible. Breathe deep
ly. Rise on tiptoe if you can.
Place the left hand with dumbbell
against the waist. Raise right hand
with dumbbell over the head. Bend
the head and upper part of body to the
right. Reverse the motions and repeat
them several times. This exercise
gives f1exibility to the waist; also
lengthens and tapers it.
First, stand erect. Then bring the
upPSi PoAt VI Xxx bouS lOI Wdlu, IlS
arms holding the %dumbbells extended.
Let the head drop forward. Inhale
deeply. Then with Glow ~exhalations
all the while bring ,hc body to an up
right position.
With dumbbells grasped tightly,
stretch both arms upward horizontally.
Bend the arms at the elbows, and
bring the dumbbells back to the Shout
ders with a quick and very strong mo-
ton.
Clutch the dumbbells tightly and
bring them vigorously down against
the waist. Then thrust both arms
down, then out, then up with at least
a dozen repetitions. After each move
ment, return the hands and dumbbells
to the first position at the waist line.
OF course, n should be careful to
use only light dumbbells and to avoid
the temptation to create knotty mus
cles.--Boston Herald.

Bead Dress

Glass and colored beadwork on
gowns is one of the novelties of the
eason and one which can be turned
over to the owner of the costume by
the modest little dressmaker who does
not begrudge letting her patrons help
with the ornamentation and thus re-
ducing the expense of the gown.
Beadwork is interesting to do, and
women love to watch the pattern grow
or the edging increase as they sew
on bead after bead of the dull glass
kind or some of the more attractive
ly colored mes Sometimes the en-
broidery is done in patterns with
beads, as was a gown worked in a
dull red berry design, with a fiat bead
effect. Tulle gowns are embellished
with this same form of trimming,
while jet beads on a black m%ousseline
or chiffon cloth are exquisite. 1t re-
quires a close scrutiny to discover
that the handsome decoration is really
made Of glass beads. Pearl beads Of
small size are used on the more clas-
sic style of gown which is affected by
many tall women.

Remnants for TRIMMING.

Probably, in buying the material
for your own and your children's sum-
mer dresses you bought too much of
one certain material so that you have
several good sized pieces left over.
These pieces may be used now for
trimming other dresses. If the ma
terial is plain colored it can be used
to trim one of the figured dresses and
if it is plaid or figured it may be used
on some dress with which it goes nice
ly. The material may be used for
collars and cuffs and for the narrow
bias band trimmings which are SO
popular nowadays.

Bovish Goodness Of Heart.

A tiny boy in steel spectacles was
sitting on a carriage step watching
other boys play ball in the street,
says a Washington correspondent. He
was rather a pathetic little figure,
but he didn't seem to know it, for
when an oldish man paused to ask
him if he was enjoying the game he
answered:
Eyes, sir. I'm the umpire"
That's an important position" re-
marked the oldish man. How did
they come to give it to you?"
Because l can't see straight, sir"
The cldish mar said it was an excel
lent reason, but the woman thought
perhaps the boys in the street had a
better one.
Maybe they didn't want him to feel
left out because he wore glasses and
couldn't play.

THE STORY.

THE prophecy which the prophet
L Jonah had spoken concerning the
political revival Of Israel and the re-
covery of the coast line which years
before had been lost to the hostile ma
tions round about had proved a pop
ular message, as was to be expected,
and everywhere the prophet went he
was enthusiastically received. His
words inspired the people with the
n purpose of bringing about that
which the prophet had said should
come to pass.
King Jereboam, who during the
early part of his reign was inclined
to rest content with the victories
which his father had won, and who
apparently had no military aspirations
other than that of keeping what he
already possessed, was at first dis
posed to receive the message of Jonah
with skeptical mind, declaring that the
recovery of the uttermost borders of
Israel was impossible, for their en-
emies were strong and Israeps forces
weak.
But as the popular feeling had risen
and swept over the land, unifying the
nation with the n impulse of re-
gaining lost territory, he had caught the
spirit of the movement, and was soon
the most enthusiastic leader of tho
nation, displaying a military genius
even greater than that which his ia
Their had shown before him.
Jonah watched these developments
with profound satisfaction and graft
tude to God. His message to the ma
ton had beer one to which his whole
being had responded, for there was
NJ more loyal or devoted Israeite in
all the land than he. He knew his
country's history, and he knew her
needs, and had it not been that the
spirit of God had laid hold of his in
tense nature and held him for a re.
ligious life, he undoubtedly would have
plunged into the army life and per-
haps become n of the great leaders
of the army of Israel.
AS it was, however, in his office as
prophet to the nation he was destined
to play an important part, and he
threw himself into the work Of reviv-
ing the national spirit and unifying
the forces of Israel. Back and forth
through the length and breadth of the
land he went preaching his message
and arousing the people.
1t was from one of these trips he
had just returned to Samaria, and
found the king had caught the spirit
OF the movement and was wait
Ing to receive him and ask his

Comfortable Way Of Drying Hair.

Every woman knows the benefit OF
sunshine in giving sheen and luster

ETTE.

This story of Jonah, Endorsed
and confirmed by Christ him
self, needs no further indorse-
ment of scholar or critic to make
it authentic to the minds of the
devout and earnest students of
Gods word. The easiest and
most reasonable way out of all
the difficulties of the book is
just to take it for what it says.
1t teaches many profound les
sens, first of all, perhaps, being
that of the Wilderness of Gods
plans and the narrowness of
the conception of Gods serv-
ants.
While God was concerned
with all the world, and his heart
had gone out in mercy and love
to that great city of Nineveh,
his servant, Jonah, had SO To-
Called himself and so limited
the mercy and blessing of God
to the nation of Israel that
he could not for a moment con-
ceive of the possibility of its be-
ing right or just to give Nine
veh a chance.
Preach to Nineveh! Prepos-
ferrous! And Gods prophet
was in a rage and sought to
escape the discharge of the
commission laid upon him.
There are a great many run
away disciples of God, it is to be
feared; disciples whose narrow
conception of Gods work tempts
them to avoid the service which
would take them far from home
and to a people and nation not
their own.
Jonah needed a larger vision
Of Gods purposes and plans, and
SO do we. The prayer: lord
bless me, and my wife, bless my
son John, and his wife, us four,
and no more" must give place
to the prayer which takes in all
the world in that true spirit
which makes one willing to go
and follow up the prayer, in a
life of service.
"Woe is unto me-" cries Paul,
off | preach not the Gospel"
and thrust out from his w ma
ton and his people he must
needs carry Gods world wide
Gospel to the l&termost parts
of the wide, wide world.
There are two consequences
of Jonah's disobedience and at
tempt to escape doing what God
had directed him to do. First,
his W suffering and danger,
and second, the great distress
and peril into which his conduct
plunged other people.
But out of this dark chapter
in Jonah's history there shines
the bright light of an unwaver-
ing faith in God, and his willing
ness to bear all blame and the
consequences of his wrong-doing
in order that the innocent might
escape.
Even death in the sea did not
restrain him from trying to
right the wrong he had done to
those innocent sailors, and so he
urges them to cast him out, his
faith in God being strong enough
to assure him that come what
might he could only afford to
do that which was right. The
reward of faith came in his re-
markable preservation.

addition next July in the form of a

water. AT Sites the water was sew
eral feet deep in the streets and many
people left their homes and went to
the hills for safety. A good deal of
damage was done in the terminal
city. The planning mill at White
