PROSTATE. She made no effort to rise.
He kicked her smartly.
Get up!" he said, in tone of smoth-
cred fury; land don't let me see your
face again!"
The next instant he espied the amaz-
ed and Mortified Miss Carbury, and ad-
vanced briskly to meet her. mag
nificent wrap of black fox fur-the wrap
which he had procured for Sergia-was
hanging upon his arm. His manner
was perfectly cool and collected.
"Ah, Miss Carbury, you have wit
messed a very unpleasant thing" he
said, "and you look greatly shocked
you think me cruel, brutal? l have
acted thus only in self-defense. Poor
Mrs. Steele, once so gentle and faith
full is fast becoming dangerous luna
tic. Our lives are not safe under the
same roof with her-hence the neces-
sity Of harsh measures. 1 fancy that
you are in quest of Punch-he is whin-
ing somewhere near"
And he rushed to Miss Carbury's
own chamber, brought forth the dog,
and put him in her arms. The figure
on the floor had staggered to its feet
without a sound it disappeared down
the dark corridor
Say nothing to Sergia Of what you
have seen!" commanded the colonel, a
trife sharply. "The poor child is well
aware of Mrs. Steeles infirmity, but in
her present weak state she must not
be subjected to any new disturbance"
Miss Carbury nodded-she could not
trust herself to answer. The colonel
had shown her a new phase Of charac-
ter. 1t seemed incredible that man
of his refinement could strike a woman
even a dangerous one. For once, she
felt half afraid Of him. Quite unmov-
ed by the unfortunate occurrence, he
descended the stair by her side, and
hurrying into the drawing-room, wrap
ped the fox fur mantle about Sergia,
with a care of passionate lover Out
side on the gravel the horses were
stamping impatiently.

CEDAR FOR PENCILS.
Only Wood the Price of Which Is
Quoted BY the Pound.

The lead pencil is one of the most
common articles in everyday use, and
since practically the only wood used
in its manufacture Is red cedar and
since the pencil industry is steadily
growing (32O,OOO,OOO are manufac-
tured annually in the United States)
the supply of red cedar Is becoming
greatly depleted.
Red cedar has n soft. straight grain
and is very free from defects when
properly grown. Because of it's pc
culiar qualities no good substitute for
it has ever been found, and it is
doubtful if any other wood using in
dustry is so dependent upon a single
species as the pencil industry is de-
pendent upon red cedar. 1t is the
only wood the price of which is quot
ed by the pound.
The popular belief is that the sec
ond growth of red cedar never reach
es marketable size, says Country Life
In America, but the forest service has
made a careful study of the subject
and has reached the conclusion that
it can be profitably grown in regions
of it's development
Some changes are recommended in
the present forest management in or
der to secure the desired growth. In
the southern forests it must have a
better chance instead of being consid-
cred, as now, n negligible quantity in
its younger stages Many of the for
est grown trees which are now cut for
fence posts can profitably be left to
attain their full development and thus
become available for pencil wood.

COMING TO ITS OWN.

The Whole Church Awakening to Sum
day School Work.
Paper by Mr.. ]. M. Way, General Sec
retary of the South Carolina Sunday
School Association, before the York
County Sunday School convention.
For nineteen centuries the Chris
tian church has been battling with the
problem of evangelizing the world and
yet one billion people remain without
the gospel The work of the church
has not been failure, but 1t has GER
tainly failed to reach the highest ideal
of Christianity. In these nineteen
centuries Of Christian work and trials,
the church has tried almost every
conceivable plan of winning the world
to Christ All but the most narrow
minded and bigoted agree that 1t must
be done as the Savior intended and
according to the example He gave us,
namely, through teaching. We real
lze how often 1t proves futile to win
people who are old enough to be fix
ed In their habits, and the closing
years of the nineteenth century
brought the Christian world to a re-
alization of what we now believe to
be the correct method Of evangeliz-
has In a very short time brought the
Sunday school as a worldwide insti-
tuition, into worldwide prominence,
and a prominence which no other in
stitution enjoys "Save the child and
you will save the world" is the slogan
of the Twentieth Century Sunday
School Awakening.
No movement for the advancement
of Gods kingdom on earth Is more
far-reaching in its pains and achieve
ments than the worldwide Sunday
school movement. Between twenty
five and thirty millions of Protestant
lion Sunday schools study the princi-
plies of Christianity as laid down in
the Book every Sunday. Eighty-five
per cent Of the vast Sunday school
army study the same lesson each
Sunday.
This vast work, generally known as
the Organized Sunday School Move
ment, carries on its work through
chain of associations which encircle
the globe and which, when perfected,
will reach and help not only every
Sunday school in the world, but ev-
cry home. The greatest of these Is the
Worlds Association, which held its
last convention in the city Of Rome,
under the very eyes Of the Vatican,
and 1t will hold its next in the capital
Of our own nation, from the 18th to
the 23rd, inclusive, Of next May. In
the western hemisphere Is the well
known International Association with
its vast number OF auxiliarfes In the
states, provinces, counties and town
ships. In the International Associa-
ton alone, 10000 INSTRUMENTATION
al Sunday school conventions, attend
ed by fully two and one-half millions
of different people, are held annually.
In the eastern hemisphere, the work
Is carried on through the British Sun
day School Union. Because Of the
fact that Professionalism In that half
Of the world is weaker than in Ameri-
ca, the British Sunday School Union
is aided by the strong hand of the In
ternational Association. Different
conditions in the two hemispheres ne
cessitates somewhat different plans
for carrying on the work, but those
methods and policies which are most
essential are much the same through
out the world.

American Union, in every province of

How to Treat sprain BY Simple
Methods and Avoid Trouble.

Methods and Avoid Trouble.
If possible, as soon as an ankle is
sprained put 1t under water as hot as
can be endured, alternating with cold
water. The easiest way to manage
this Is in the tub under the hot and
cold water spigot.
This treatment often allays the
swelling and stops further trouble. 1t
is well to summon the doctor at once
in case of bad sprain. If he is long
in arriving, bandage with antiseptic
bandages or with adhesive plaster.
For the former wrap it around the
ankle and the middle of the foot al
ternately in the form Of an eight. Cut
the adhesive plaster in short strips
and interlace them from side to side
of the sprain, pulling tightly to hold
the injured parts in place.
Making a shoe of medicated clay
frequently reduces the Inflammation.
This should be renewed as fast as it
dries up.
Rest the foot in a horizontal posi-
ton, or, better yet, have 1t higher than
the hips. When the ligaments are
torn and the ankle must be rested on
a pillow, much of the strain will be
relieved by keeping the foot beyond
the edge Of the pillow, which is
doubled up under the ankle.
When a sprain is bad, necessitating
inaction for a long time, the circula-
ton should be kept up by massaging
frequently from the knees to the an
kle, more particularly the calf Of the
leg. The massage movements should
be upward. If this is kept up many
times a day from the time of the ac-
cident, there will be no pain in walk
ing, even after weeks Of disused mus
cles.
There is apt to be weakness for
months after hard sprain. To avoid
further trouble one should wear
support Of some kind. This may be
woven stocking made Of rubber or silk
or a leather anklet that laces up the
front and slips over the heel.

Sunday schools and we can do the
work through our denominational or
ganiZations." Have you succeeded In
taking proper care Of your Sunday
schools? Can you? The very people
who make these suggestions are large
ly the ones that need the most help
of this great conserving, unifytng
agency. To get at the point let me
ask a question:: How many Of your
schools use other than their own de-
nominational literature? How far are
other agencies breaking into and
thwarting your plans? So far as the
Sunday schools of this state are con-
cerned, my observation Of what they
are doing leads me to assert that
those denominations entering most
heartily into organized cooperation
are the very ones that succeed best at
getting their Sunday schools to use
their own denominational literature,
and those who have stood aloof and
declined to enter heartily into co-ope-
ration, although they may have co-ope-
rated in part, are the very ones that
have suffered most by the invasion Of
Independent or non-denominatfonal
literature. Let me give concrete ex-
ample without calling names: 1
know of one denomination that al
all the other Christian bodies in any
good work OF course 1t may suffer
from the invasions Of independent or
non-denominational publishers, but In
all Of my travels from Horny to Oco-
nee, and from Beaufort to Cherokee,
and in all my contact with its Sun
day school interests, have yet to find
a single instance Of such invasion. l
therefore assert from observation and
experience that those church people
who are most loyal to their denomi-
nations in all of their varied interests,
are those who enter most heartily in
to interdenominational cooperation.
You ask me why this is so? I am not
going to say that 1 can tell you, but
believe that God intended that all Of
His people should act as brethren. The
Christian world should be one body
and that denomination which stands
aloof, bringing as it may in a small
measure Christian dissension, must
suffer the same in its own ranks. AS

moned her to her last dinner at Wolfs-
den. The one remaining servant Of the
house waited at table-Mrs. Steele did
not appear. Sergia was pale and silent
the colonel in splendid spirits.
What is to be done?" asked Miss
Carbury, with all the things that we
must leave at Wolfsden?-the horses
in the stables, the appointments Of the
house?"
He laughed.
Like John Gilpin's wife, you have a
frugal mind, Miss Carbury! Mrs.
Steele and our good Martin will take
care of everything"
"As for our neighbors at the villas, 1
cannot think what they will say Of this
headlong flight. We actually have not
spoken a good-by to any one."
Let us not mind such trifles," an
swered the colonel, lightly. These
Black River people are no longer of any
importance-they served my purpose
for awhile, but have no further use
for them"
A rap at the door; Martin entered
with a telegram for his master. The
coloners fine eyes glittered a little as
he tore open the message. 1t contained
but one word:
"Danger!"
The signature was "Dr. Bird" Pitt
Rivers crumpled the laconic paper In
his hand, and threw it under the table.
AS he glanced at Sergia, his lips curved
in smile, but she saw that he had
grown ashy pale.
You have heard bad news, guardy?"
she said.
NO" he answered, rising hastily
from the table; "only kind intimation
from an old friend that l must waste
no more time at Wolfsden."
Clouds had gathered in the sky. The
night was dark, and full Of gusts that
came and went with an eerie sound in
the chestnut trees.
At eight o'clock the evening express
would leave Black River station. Sew
en- had barely struck when a roll Of
wheels on the gravel announced the
arrival of the carriage at the door.
Martin will drive leisurely," said the
colonel Miss Carbury, have you plen-
ty of wraps for Sergia? Wait a mo-
ment. There is a fur mantle some
where in the house-I will find it. The
night is chilly, and We cannot be too
careful of our invalid"
With boyish eagerness he rushed off
up the stair.
How good he is to mellow
thoughtful for my comfort" murmured
Sergia, turning her large, tired eyes on
Miss Carbury, as though hungering for
approval. 81 am sure To be happy
with him some time, am not?"
my dear, you ought to be happy
now!" replied Miss Carbury, in a
shocked voice. He is utterly devoted
to you! Sit down upon this sofa-you
begin to look frightfully fatigued.
Now, where is Punch? That creature
is always missing at the last moment
of course, l cannot go step without
Punch"
Sergia suggested that the trouble
some pug might be shut in some upper
chamber. Miss Carbury rang the bell,
but nobody answered. Then she start
ed to ascend the staircase, and at the
top of the flight she came suddenly
upon a sight which made her heart
stand still.
One lamp burned there, and in its
light Pitt Rivers was standing-stern,
repelent, with the figure of woman
groveling at his feet-embracing him
about the knees.
Mercy! Mercy!" Miss Carbury
heard her cry, and the voice was that
of Mrs. Steele.
For answer, the colonel gave the abb
ject creature a blow which laid her

Canada; in Mexico, Central America

tional Association has succeeded
in organizing auxiliary assocla-
tions, and it is now beginning to
extend the work to the countries or
South America. The associations or

variably take their names from that
of the political bodies in whose bound
aries their work Is carried on. Thus,
for the old Palmetto state, we have
the Sunday School Association OF
South Carolina. All Of the state, pro-
vincial and territorial associations
have auxiliary associations in their
counties and townships. There Is
distinctive work for each kind of as
ISOLATION in this great chain, but the
county and township associations are
recognized by all experienced workers
Of the Organized Sunday School
Movement as being the ones which,
when brought to their highest ana
most useful development, are most
effective in their accomplishment or
immediate results. It Is not our pur-

these associations, but to bring toyour

Brookfield Gazette.
DEAR EDITOR: In your issue O
the Gazette of January % I motto
that you make the statement tina
you know of no candidate for th
Office Of county school commission
er for the coming spring election.
Permit me to add just a word
This is an Office to which the voter.
give but little thought or attention
yet while the salary is small it is
one OF the most important offices in
the county.
1t is looked upon by most voters
as an Office whereby the officer is a
servant of the teachers of the coun-
ty, which is a mistaken idea. He
is the one who licenses the teacher
or gives her the authority to in
struct the youths of the coun-
ty. He, in company with the 9TH
er members of the county board of
education, selects the text books
that are used by the voters child
rem.
Ii an applicant is not qualified to
teach school he is the one to say so;
if he is qualified the commissioner
issues the license. If the teacher
becomes derelict or infamous he
may revoke the certificate, which is
almost the only way that a teachers
contract may he annulled. These
are only few of the many duties
of the county school commissioner.
Therefore it is very important
that the one filling the position as
commissioner Or county superinten-
dent be a person of high education
al and moral standing in the coun-
ty.~-This is q ease above all others
where the Office should seek the
man, and such man can be found
in the person of George W. Diem
er, superintendent Of the Laclede
public schools.
Having graduated from the
Brookfeld high school in 1905, he
has each year since graduation taken
summer course at the Kirksville
state normal school, holds an excel ;
five-year state certificate and is
rapidly climbing the ladder of sue
cess as teacher and an educator. :
| am reliably informed that he ,
will be candidate for the Office ,
and if he is it is the opinion of a ,
great majority of the teachers that
he should be elected unanimously.
Having attended and taught in
the country schools, no man knows
better than he the requirements of
q country school and it's teacher.
He is tireless worker, honest and 4
