own chops. He won't trust the work
to any one else. He does it like this:
He lays three chops, one on top of the
other, on the grill. Seated before the
fire, he turns the chops over and over
till the two outer ones are done to a
very dry brown. The middle one only
is the one he eats. All, but it must be

Almost Any Mother.

AS STRAIGHT MEN SEE HIM.
The Dead-Beat Is Probably the Most
Despised Creature That Walks
the Earth.

No mar is wholly free from sin, but
so many lesser evils are tolerated that
a man should hesitate long before be-
coming a dead-beat. Criminals are de-
spised and abhored, but to the dead
beat all that is coming, as well as the
contempt of his fellow men. There is
something at once SO mean and SO lit
tie in taking advantage of the conf
dence which comes with friendship
that the hand of every man Is turned
against a dead-beat as soon as his
reputation is well established. The
dead-beat may fondly imagine he is
living easy and making money with
out i, ork, and, of course, he takes no
account of the confidence he violates
and the hardships he infiicts on 9th
ers. But, that aside, he really has a
harder time than the man who is
honest and fair. He is compelled to
a good deal and peace of mind
he knows not. Like other types of
crooks, he doesn't prosper, and his
finish is more unpleasant than the be-
ginning.-Atchison Globe.

Troubles Cured by cuticura.

when my little Vivian was about
six months old her head. broke out in
boils. She had about sixty in all and
I used Cuticura SoCp and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her entirely.
Some time later a humor broke out be-
hind her ears and spread up on to
her head until it was nearly half COW
cred. The humor looked like a scald,
very red with a sticky, clear fluid COM
ing from it. This occurred every
spring. I always used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment which never failed to
heal it up. The last time it broke
out it became so bad that I was dis
couraged. But I continued the use Of
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resell

been troubled in the last two years.

StMHAhE way! Make way! The

The words of the heralds sounded
through the streets of Jerusalem and
caused the gathered throngs to press
back on either side against the walls
of the buildings, leaving a clear pas
sageway in the center down which in
the distance could be seer coming
the royal procession. First came the
trumpeters, the clear musical notes of
their horns sounding above the shouts
of acclaim of the people and the tramp.

people a vantage point, and which was

1.-THE prince! The ~prince." The
throng shouted and in response to the
cry the king bent down and lifting in
his arms the fair young child riding
at his side he held him aloft.
He clapped his chubby little hands
and gurgled in great glee as his father
held him up, and this pleased the peo-
pie immensely and with renewed
shouts they hailed the king and the
beautiful prince.
The royal party was on its way to
pay homage to the gods whose high
places had been set up within Jeru-
salem, and where ceremonial worship
was carried on in all the voluptuous-
ness and %splendor, of the nations
about.
King Hezekiah, Manassas father,
had left a prosperous and extensive
kingdom, and from the moment of his
accession to the throne at IL years of
age, Manassas had displayed a pas
sion to be possessed of all the glory
and magnificence of the nations about
him and had encouraged the introduce
ton of every form of idolatrous wor-
ship to Jerusalem, setting up the
IMAGES of gods and bringing thither
the priests to perform the rites. With
in the past year he had caused to he
set I'D a great brazen image of Moloch,
the fire god, and had displayed an un-
usual interest in establishing and per-
fecting this form of worship.

SER ETTE.

ldolatry was the great sin of
} the Jewish nation, and plunged
it to its destruction. The first
7 two commandments of the de-
I dialogue read: "Thou shalt have
! no other Gods before me.
} "Thou shalt not make unto
: thee any craven image, or any
I likeness of anything that is in :
I heaven above, or that is in the
: earth beneath, or that is in the :
} water under the earth: thou
: shalt not bow down myself to :
I them nor serve them: for | the
, Lord thy God am a jealous God,
} visiting the iniquity of the faith
: ers upon the children unto the
. third and fourth generation Of
them that hate me; and showing .
; mercy unto thousands of them
} that love me, and keep my COM
: mandments."
The PsaImist says: "con- ,
founded be all they that serve i,
; craven images, that boast them
} selves of idols"
Paul, realizing that idolatry is :
!. a heart condition rather than an
} external expression and is prev D.,
; alent in degree If not in kind
, to-day as in the ancient days,
: writes this warning:
} Neither be we idoIators, as 4
; were some of them; as it is writ I
, ten. The people sat down to eat \
and drink, and rose up to play.
: neither let us commit fornica- J
} ton, as some of them committed, 4
; and fell in n day three and I
: twenty thousand. Neither let \
l US tempt the Lord, as some OF }
; them tempted and persisted by I
the serpents. Neither murmur 4
: ye, as some of them murmured, (
, and persisted by the destroyer. y

Paul: "For this we know of a :

I unclean person, o covetous ;
