doesn't someone tackle his little old

Mr.. Sunday does of himself, and has
come back" in the local newspaper.
Part of what Mr.. Jersey says of him
self follows:
II have never smoked, never drank,
! never gambled, | have never danced
step, never been inside gambling
house or house of i'll fame, and I'd
like to know if Mr.. Sunday can say
that much for himself
II have donated the use of my opera
house time and time again for church
and charitable purposes. Once when
was running the old Turner opera
house l donated its use to the con.
gregation of the First Methodist
church for ten weeks with no cost
except for the lights.
ut was at my proposal the dona-
ton of my opera house and the giving
of play by me that enabled the Eagle
lodge to give Ottumwa the ambulance
1t now owns.
During the past summer | donated
the use Of my Airdome to the minis
terial association every Sunday night
with no cost except that of the lights.
"And now my reward for all this IS
an invitation to Mr.. Sunday to come
to Ottumwa and attempt to destroy
my business. It's good deal like

LIBERTY TO REST
Navy Department Announces
Admiral May Dispose OF Time
to Suit Himself
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The navy de-
partment this afternoon made an an
nouncement that Admiral Evans may
hereafter dispose of his time to suit
himself and no further real duty will
be required of him. He will have the
usual privilege of being permitted TO
just loaf around until the period of his
actual retirement arrives.
In making this amendment the navy
department officials made public some
correspondence bearing on the subject
This included the formal order re-
lieving Admiral Evans OF command,
messages of congratulations on his brill
liant career and the reply from Evans.
The friends of Admiral Evans have
been hopeful that congress would ele-
vate him to the rank Of vice admiral
as mark of recognition for his sue
cessful conduct of the fleet to the Pa
cific. and that this would be accom-
plished before his retirement from
actual service. It has been found i'm
possible to procure any legislation of
that character.

the increase of militarism and the null
tiplication of titles. He refused to make

Pretty Finger Nails.

To have pretty finger nails It 10
necessary TO keep them properly man
toured. The nails should be filed In q
curve which follows the shape Of the
end Of the finger. After the nails
have been filed the finger tips should
be held in hot, soapy water until the
cuticle is soft, when II may be easily
pushed back from the nail by means
of an orangewood stick. To give the
nails delicate rose tint they should
be polished by applying some good
ointment or powder. In the interest
of pretty nails 1t is a good habit to
rub cold cream into the cuticle every
night, always rubbing the cuticle
away from the nails. Another little
habit is to always, when drying the
hands, rub the cuticle back with the
towel. These little habits help ma
terially to keep the nails in order and
greatly tighten the weekly manicur-
ing process.-Indianapolis News.

God Has Called Us to Greatness.

Taken by itself, your life is GER
tainly a very insignificant affair; but
placed as you happen to be placed, in
the kind OF universe which God
has happened to make, your life be-
comes of infinite Importance. For
God has chosen to work out His de-
signs, not in spite of you, but through
you; and where you fail, He halts.
Almighty God needs you. You are
not your own, either to be insignifi-
cant or great, but you are in the SER
vice OF that which is greater than
yourself. and that service touches
your life with its own greatness.
1t is as though you were a light
house keeper SET to do your duty on
your bare rock. Can any life be
more unpraised or insignificant?
Why sit through the weary nights to
keep your flame alive? Why not
sleep on, all unobseryed, and let your
little light go out? Because it is not
your light--that is the point. You
are not its owner, you are its keeper.
That is your name. You are a light
keeper. You are set there with this
as your trust. The great design of
the Power you serve takes you thus
out Of your insignifcance. Francis

A GOOD word Abont Prnrer.

How shall we explain the experf-
ences that come with prayer? It is
fact that prayer makes great
changes in the lives of people. 1t is
a fact that men who are being borne
downward by all the currents about
them and by all the impulses within
them find relief in PRAYER. The Inn
pulses against which they struggle
refuse to be strangled by the will:
they refuse to heed the rebukes of
conscience: they will hear no argu-
ment, heed no remonstrances. Many
n man has found It so. has fought
with all his power, and found HIM
self fighting a losing battle. finding
himself borne downward against con-
science, against his will, against his
own sane judgment. against every
high and sacred interest in his life.
In such case a man turns to pray
er. He finds 1t difficult to pray. but
feels he must pray. Something In
the great deep of his spirit helps him
to pray, and PRAYER begins to rise out
Of the depths of his very heart. He
has a deep instinct that God is in the
transaction, is not merely above him,
but Is moving upward within him.
He has not yet gotten hold of God,
not, at least, in any manner which
satisfies his consciousness. But his
soul Is crying out within him. 1t is
God, an open and sure alliance with
God, that his soul is seeking. From
yet deeper and deeper DEPTHS of his
nature comes this cry, till the man
feels that desire has sounded the
depths of his spirit. 1t is his only
hope, this cry and the answer to 1t.
There comes peace, deliverance from
fear, assurance. sense of sanity;
the warfare within and without is
all over.
What is this? Has there been GO
Ing on within the man a psychologist
cal process by which he has carried
himself out of one state into anoth-
err? Or is there really a supernatu-
raj element in 1t all? If 1t be the
former, and IL prayer be the pursuit
OF delusion, then 1t is a most won
derful delusion. 1t were still we'll
that all men should follow it, for it
means for them sanity, peace.
strength. These are, to be sure,
strange fruits of a delusion!
But this theory of prayer being a
delusion Is not the theory of those
who pray and get such results out of
prayer They will tell you that God
helps them. They will tell you that
they know no psychological process
which can bring such results. They
are firmly persuaded. they who pray,
that God moves both within them
and down from above them. Who
that ever had one single experience
OF coming by prayer up out of the
uttermost depths of misery and help
lessness into clear, open light of as
surance and peace, who that ever
had this experience can doubt that
God is in it?-Western Methodist.
