A MINISTER who was spending his
II vacation in the northern woods
"a was called in to see dying lum-
herman, says a writer in the Philadel-
phia North American. Before leaving
the visitor prayed for the sick man,
and suggested that he pray for him
self. The objection was made that 1t
was useless to pray-God understood a
mans trials, and he knew what was
wanted before a request was made. Inc
minister asked him if he didn't know
what his children needed before they
asked him, If he didn't know when
they were disappointed or troubled; yet
didn't he wish to have them talk over
these things with him?
The man thought a moment. Then he
said: do you think that would be
prayer-just for me to lie here and tell
God what he knows already-how 1t
hurts, and all my disappointment, and
my anxiety for the future of my chill
dren and my wife-and everything
Just to tell him?"
'I think it would" said the minister.
"I think it would be prayer of very
real kind"
At Home with God
One who had learned that prayer is
not a mere formal exercise, to be
dreaded and postponed, has said: Pray
often-in bits, with a persistency of
habit that betrays a childlike eager
ness and absorption. Rise up to ques-
ton God as children do their earthly
parents-at morning, noon and night,
and between times. Ask him about
everything Be with him more than
with all other persons. Acquire the
home habit with him. Be a child in his
hands. Do not fear lest he be too busy
to listen, or too grown-up to care, or
to understand. Just talk to him in
broken sentences, half-formed; with
crude wishes; in foolish chatter, if need
be. Make the Heavenly Father the cen

of all your satisf- tions. Be sure to
let him put you to bed, Waken you IN
the morning. wait on you at table, or
der your days doings, protect you from
harm, soothe your disquiet, supply all
your daily needs"
Such prayer is good, not only When
one Is sick, but when one is well and
busy with the affairs of daily life A
clergyman has told Of a visit to Lon
don during which he called on mer-
chant whom he had met in America.
At the business house he was told that
he could not see the merchant, as 1t
was steamer day, and orders had been
given not to disturb him. But when
the card was taken up the merchant
appeared, his face beaming with pleas
ure. After a momentary greeting the
visitor offered to go away, but the mer-
chant took him into his office and said:
II am very glad you have called. l
would not have had you fail I am very
busy, but I always have a moment for
my Lord. I have little place for pri-
vate prayer. You must come in with me,
and we shall have season of prayer
together"
Busy, but not too busy for prayer;
longing to see his friend, but eager to
spend the ten minutes of the call in
prayer with their other Friend who
made their brief visit worth while!
In telling this incident, one writer on
the subject of prayer has said:
Several, perhaps many, merchants
in one of our large cities have fitted up
for themselves dark, narrow boX-like
closets, whittier, each by himself, they
are wont to retire for few minutes at
times, during the pressure Of the days
business, for the refreshment of soul,
which they find they really need, in
communion with God. One of these
men is reported to have said: 'On some
days, if had not that resort, I believe

NAeoINe A POOR POLICY

Here is another lesson for the nag
ging woman. Nagging never accom-
plished anything either in domestic life
or in politics.
Sara Grand, the author of 1.-THE
Heavenly Twins" claims that nagglng
is the curse of the suffragette cause.
She herself is a suffragist, but not a
suffragette-note the distinction--and
she thinks that the suffragettes have
made a fatal mistake where they might
have made a brilliant stroke. When
they first broke out and startled the
world by their militant tactics they did
a brilliant thing and made a brilliant
political play But they failed stupldly
when they kept it up. For, as she eX-
presses it, they exhibited themselves IN
the most offensive of human relation
ships, that of nagging.
Nobody ever had any sympathy or
federation for a nagging man or Wom-
an, The policy of a nag is worse than
futile, it is disastrous. 1t has alienated
friends and converted the indlferent
into enemies.
That is the way a bright woman mas
summed up the nagging habit, ana
whether the practice is applied to poll
tics or neglectful husbands, her estl-
nation of it is equally true.

COPYING AN ENGLISH GARDEN

There is one good result of all this
invasion of English society by Amer
lean. women. One of the finest things
in the land of Shakespeare and the
suffragette is the characteristic Eng
lish garden, and the American women
who have wandered across the ATTAIN
tic in search of social excitement have
adopted the English garden as their
own. Mrs. John Jacob Astor has set
her mind upon a typical garden for
her Newport home, and Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney and Mrs. John r.
Drexel are among others who have the
same plan in view. The change will
be welcome, especially as it will
drive out the hard Italian gardens with
their out of place statuary and the
Japanese gardens with their foolish
stone decorations. 1t is not strange
that the garden as it crows in Eng
land has caught the fancy of Amer
lean women, for it is just what gar
den means, with it's bursting glory
everywhere. It's trim box hedges, it's
rose rambles, it's sweet peas and it's
honeysuckle, its flower beds, its shrubs
and its narrow white graveled walks.

THE OLD STORY

He sat out on the bleachers,
Where the sun was Caring down;
Among the fiery screechers
There was none with his renown.
He swore the umpire cheated,
And a lot of other things,
And IL they were defeated
He would beat him up, by jings!
He told the boys to win it.;
And his voice was never tired;
He wasn't still a minute a
While he hollered and perspred!
He said that night at table
That when summer came twas queer,
To work he scarce felt able;
And his wife said Poor dear!"

FOR AMATEUR COOKS

Tn nreserving watermelon rind peel
off the green part and cut i nthin
strips. For five pounds of rind put one
quart of water and pint or vinegar
over the fire When it comes to scaId
add the rind, boil ten or twelve min
utes, remove with a SKINNER and drain.
Have ready a riup, allowing three and
a half pounds of sugar to pint OF
water. Let it come to a good boil, skim
and add the strips of melon with two
ounces of green ginger, cleaned ana
sliced. Cook about three-quarters of
an hour-or until tender enough to
pierce with a straw. Remove the melon
strips with a skinner and lay on a
platter. Continue boiling the syrup un-
til reduced to one-half. Put the melon
in glass jars, excepting what you wish
to dry to use in place of citron, anu
fill the jars to overflowing with the
boiling sirup.
Watermelon rind is excellent made
into a sweet pickle. Cook the strips OF
melon in clear water until nearly ten
der. then. remove with a skinner and
drain. Make a spiced pickle allowing
to every eight pounds of melon pint
of vinegar and three pounds of sugar.
Mix together half teaspoonful each
of ground cloves and mace and a tea
spoonful each of cinnamon, ginger and
add to the syrup. Cook the melon in
the syrup until tender, remove the mel
on and cook the syrup until reduced to
one-half. Put into Jars and seal while
sc2lding hot.
Tasty Ways to Serve Watermelon
Cut the melon in halves lengthwise
and scoop out the red heart in half
globes using a large spoon and ro-
tary motion. Chill, pile on bed of
grape leaves and serve. Or slice in
rather thick slices, stamp out with a
cookie or sandwich cutter and serve
on a platter lined with leaves.
To Chill Melon
Where one has a small refrigerator
and no cellar it often becomes a ques-
ton how to chill large belon. One
good way is to put the melon in tub
of water, cover with a piece of sack
ing, letting the ends hang in the water.
The evaporation Chllls the melon. An
other way is to cut the red meat from
the melon into two-inch cubes, keeping
the pieces whole. Pack these in half
gallon glass fruit jars. screw tightly
and set in the refrigerator. Serve the
ice cold pieces on individual plates,
with garnish of leaves.

MARATHON TO BE
IN AFTERNOON

The big match Marathon between
thon champion of the Hawaiian Islands,
and Tsukamoto, the man who came Sec
ond IN the all-Japanese military race
of thirty-fve miles, will take place at
the Athletic Park on Sunday, October
3, week from tomorrow, at 1880 P. m.
The Oahu baseball league very court
eously gave way to the Marathon race
and has postponed its scheduled games
for one week. The race will start at
the same time that the first baseball
game usually begins.
Yesterday both men did some hard
stunts. Tsukamoto went out on the
road for dozen miles and came back
in splendid shape. His action was per-
feet and he hardly pulled at all when
he was taken hold of by his trainers,
cloaked and led to his dressing room
where he had the usual rundown fol-
lowed after an hour by big haole
meal of beefsteak and mashed potatoes
with a. salad of green stuff.
Jackson also ran a middling dis
tance. He was paced by Bill Chiffon
on his motorcycle and was properly at
tended to by one sleuth, one rubber and
one manager after the exercise.
Jackson pretends to be irked by the
policing that is being done on him,
but he does not really mind it. It
tickles him to death. Chiffon knows
just how to handle this ebullient piece
of machinery and has Nigel properly
buffaloed What Bill says goes and it
goes mighty hard.
