two COWS, feed chickens. hogs, and do other
things too tedious to mention. II you smile at
your John you can do more than 1 can. When
! do all Of that l can't much as speak
kindly.
l do not like smiles unless they are from the

any distant country, but do know, by reading
Gods word, that every one Of us has the prlvl-

for women and l think those Of us that belong
to these missionary societies should go at the
appointed time and go with a cheer<ll heart and
work with all our might.
Some ladies have said, 81 afraid to join
the missionary band, am afraid 1 can not pay
my dues
Oh, the dues are not much. Just ten cents a
month. / have just started a new plan this
spring, and all you farmer wives can do the
same. Save all the eggs your hens lay Sun
days and sell them and give the money to some
missionary work or to the orphan children, or to
the Lord in some other way. You have no idea
how much we can give the cause of God in one
year just by saving the eggs our hens lay on
Sundays, and we miss those eggs at
the end of the year.

eggs and at the end of the year she had given
$4,000 to the work Of the Lord. I know we

What Women Are Doing

Mrs. Bryce, wife Of the British ambas-
sador. and Mrs. Sherman, wife Of the
vice president, will carry on vigorous
campaign against all animal foods at
Prides Crossing. Mass. this summer.
They are strong believers in vegetarian
ism. and will also place on tabooed list
cheese, tea and coffee.
An English magazine The Gentlewo-
man, recently gave a prize for the best
definition OF the word lady" and this is
the one accepted:
ITO be a lady means, rightly TO be a
gentlewoman, who shows by her every
word and action a sweet and gentle dig
nifty, with a gracious charm of manner. A
woman whose heart is pure and true,
who is tender toward all suffering, who
sympathizes with those in trouble, and
is every ready to give that which costs
her some effort and self-denial. A lady
thinks no work derogatOry, and no one
is deemed too low to receive courtesy and
blindness. She is pure and good In every
detail of life, a true friend and minis
tering angel in sorrow and in sickness.

One short breath, and he bounded thro the

He has gained the hill at last

Such a Sweet Petl

Children can be frankly revengeful at
times.
A mother the other day punished her
little girl, aged 5, by making her stand
in a clothes closet. After the mother
thought the child had plenty of time for
reflection and had become subdued, she
opened the door. and a very sheepish-
looking youngster trotted out.
Are you glad to get out?" she asked
the child.
"Uh-huh."
What did you do with yourself while
in there?'

the precious little doll, land when 1 get

Moving picture houses are showing
pictures of the San Francisco earth
quake. Here you can see how they do
it. Here's a moving picture standing
still.
F. A. Dobson. the man in overalls,
who looms up like great destroyer in
the picture, is now building up the city
which is to be shaken down. He is an
artist in pasteboard.
When he is ready he will step aside,
then-click-one picture. Then he'll
joggle the city little and the machine
will begin click-clicking like a tele-
graph instrument. After while he'll
start fires in the background, and
buildings will be licked up, and manikin
firemen and soldiers will be dashing
through his mimic streets, and disorder
and panic and terror will have been
canned and ready for the nickel the
ater.
Dobson's work illustrates one OF the

showed their unaccustomedness to the usages
Of society by staring at each other in wide
eyed amazement One Of them to relieve her
embarrassment closed her eyes very tightly and
made funny faces, and another put her hands
before her face and peeped coyly through her
fingers at the others.
THE babies, of whom there were just
twelve, were seated at low round table At
each place was a celluloid doll, and these
were dressed alternately in pink and white.
In the center OF the table miniature

Narrow ribbons extended from this to each

a diminutive board and rolling pin. And those
youngsters had the time Of their lives rollirg,

1T was interesting to note the very serious
expression on most Of the small faces; and
later on when these faces were adorned with
smudges Of flour. the effect was too funny.
Some Of the cooks produced very muddy
cookies. II always astonishes me to see how
quickly children can produce mud from appa-
rently nowhere at all.
"Of course, the dough had been prepared be

about the dining table, as many at one time
as could be comfortably accommodated, while
the others played games and awaited theiI

the precious samples OF culinary skill might
