Kissed and Forgot.

Mrs. James Brown Potter, society
woman, friend of royalty, and now
vaudeville actress, is at last reconciled
with her daughter "Fifi," who is, more
formally, Mrs. James Stillman, Jr.,
daughter-in-law of the Standard Oil
banker. After years of separation and
silence they met in New York. kissed,
forgot all their differences, and pledged
eternal affection. Young Mrs. Stillman
Ilunched with her mother at the Plaza
in the late afternoon ana IN the evening
was one of her most enthusiastic audi
tors at the Lincoln Square theater. The
meeting of mother and daughter was as
dramatic as anything off the stage could
be. 1t occurred during the driving ram
storm. at a secluded point in Central
park. with no witnesses. Miss Mary
Tillinghast, the we'll known artist and
designer. brought it about. She mas
been friend of both women for years.
After her matinee performance, Mrs.
Potter. donning raincoat, walked alone,
into Central park. A moment later Mrs.
Stillman, also alone, alighted from the
Stillman auto and overlook her mother.
An hour later they emerged, wet as
could be, but with their arms around
each others waists. The Stillmans, it ,s

BIBLE BRIGHT PROMISE.
By Cyrus Townsen

By Cyrus Townsend Brady.
And there shall be no more CURSE
Rev. %: 3.
That Genesis should be related to
Revelations, although sixteen hundred
years Of time, with all their develop
ment and change, separated them, is
a thing at once striking and mex
plicable, except on the hypothesis that
some great power saw to it that
through the pages one increasing pur-
pose ran. Nowhere is this relationship
more strongly and strikingly shown
than In the consideration Of that with
which the Bible begins and ends.
Genesis, after a poetic and beautiful
description of the creation Of men and
things, begins with the curse that was
laid upon mankind. However it may
be accounted for. THEORETICALLY or phil
osophically, the fact that the world has
been cursed is easily apparent. 1t Is
also undisputed that man in some dim.
dumb, incohate way has always striven
to lift the curse, and it is equally true
that as age has succeeded age some
amelioration Of conditions has gone on
very unsatisfactory at first and with
meager results, considering the vast
expenditure of life and effort. But it
has gone on and it is going on. That
is evolution.
But the gift which actually made it
possible in any practicable way to lift
the curse upon MAJ. is Jesus Christ
In His life, in His example, in His
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1909-01-28

teachings are to be found the only pos
sible means of really greatly lettering
the world. and In proportion as they
are perceived more clearly, entered into
more thoroughly, understood and prac.
ticed more obediently, the work pro
crosses.
Some day dirt and disease will dis
appear. Some day poverty and In
equality will be done away with. Some
day lust and greed will be forgotten.
Some day love and light will prevail.
Some day the curse Of these things and
Of whatever drags men down shall be
lifted. This is not Inference ; 1T is the
direct positive, unequivocal statement
Of the Lord. 1t is a declaration from
God Himself through Jesus Christ, His
Son, uttered in the last recorded words
He addressed to the children Of mel
when He spoke to st. John In the Wis
ions of Patmos.
Amid wondrous declarations, in the
form Of allegory, concerning the New
Jerusalem, which is held before mans
hope, there is one plain, grim, simple
line thrown amid the poetry stamped
across its mysticism like bar Of steel
laid on the petal Of flower, abrupt,
almost harsh in its lack Of harmony
with all that goes before, and yet the
more tremendously impressive for that
very fact, for it is almost the last
word of Jesus to His children which
you may find in the last chapter Of
Revelations-the explicit declaration
that There shall be no more curse"
think that the very fact that the
Bible begins with curse and ends
with it's lifting is one of the most ire
mendous of the many marvellous divine
attributes of the great volume. The
world reeling on in it's dim, blind way,
bleeding hands Of toll and struggle in
petition, its sweat-covered brow lighted
by hope, with what patience it can
summon in its throbbing heart Is en-
abled to proceed because it has the
promise Of the world Of God, Who ID
absolute truth, that some day, in His
own good time, the curse under which
man has always labored shall be lifted
once and for all.
Speed that day, Lord, and In the
meanwhile let us each one here in our
several stations do what we can with
Thee for our help, our inspiration, our
guide to lift the curse upon our breth-
rem and ourselves now, to-day.

CONTROL YOUR BELIEF.
By Russell H. Con

By Russell II. COnWell, -. ~.
Text.-"So we see that they could
not enter in because of their unbelief."
Hebrews iii 10.
Our unbelief in our future has come
up continually to rebuke us. Our be-
lief is largely within our control. Men
are very foolish to assert that they
cannot help what they believe; that
they do not believe in Christ, and
they cannot help it; they do not be-
lieve in morality because they cannot
avoid it, My friends it is foolish to
say that we cannot control our belief
in such things. OF course there are
some things we cannot believe; we cam
not believe that a lie is truth when
the evidence of the lie is clear to our
minds; But where the evidence on both
sides is equally clear we can control
our belief. The hold which Christian
Science has secured on the world and
the good that it has done has been be-
cause it has taught that, if people be
lieved, they could get well.
What change would be wrought
in this world if people really believed
the Bible to be true-if they really be-
licved that we would be judged accord
ing to the deeds done in the body
that we would be punished or reward
ed accordingly. How different would
be the lives Of people to-day If they
really and truly believed God. How
different would he their relation to the
Church, the city and the State If they
really believed. We must return to the
old faith. You can believe if you
make a sincere, honest effort to believe.
''Whosoever will may come" and who
soever endeavOrs to believe may be-
lieve. We are told in Gods word that
'Whosoever believeth on him hath
everlasting life" We are what we be-
lieve. If we believe that it is wise to
be dishonest we will be dishonest some
where, some time and in some place.
IF we believe that other men are dis
honest if we believe that all women
are bad, somewhere at some time we
will do something to express that be-
lief. Let Us come back, and let the
warning stand before every one of us
this morning as it stood there before
the Israelites when they looked back
over forty years Of wandering. They
saw that they could not enter in be-
cause of unbelief Let us therefore
fear lest any of us should fail to en-
ter. because of our unbelief.

Short Suggestions.

Buying olive oil by the gallon is one
case of economy.
To cover the pan in which fish is
cooking will make the flesh soft.
A clam shell in the inside Of the
kettle will prevent the formation of
lime.
Large red apples, when served whole
upon the table, are polished with olive
oil.
When grating nutmegs remember
they will crate best if started from the
blossom end.
Lemons hardened from long stand
ing may be made disable by covering
few moments with boiling water.
One Of the newest luncheon cloths is
tine worked in pale blue cotton.
To blanch almonds pour boiling wa
ter over the almonds and leave them
till the water is cold, when the skins
will be quite loose.
A kitchen churn that holds but one
quart is useful for churning sour cream
into butter. 1t is a good cake mixer
and certainly excellent for beating eggs
for an angel cake.
Tarnished silver is easily cleaned
with powdered whiting mixed to a
paste with ammonia and water. Rub
the paste on with one leather and have
another leather to polish it off again.
When grease is spilled on a kitchen
table or floor, pour cold water on it at
once. The cold will harden the grease
and prevent its soaking into the wood,
so that it can be taken up with a
knife.
Loose knife handles-To fix handles
to blades, fill the cavity In the handle
two-thirds full of mixed resin and
brickdust. Then heat the shaft of the
knife and while hot press it into its
place. Hold it till quite firmly set.

Scouts Theory of Sex Control.

In an address before the section of
zoology of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, ct
Baltimore, Md, the vice president, Prof.
E. B. Wilson of Columbia university,
claimed that che determination of sex
was a matter of chance and that while
it might be possible in the future to con-
troll it, there is no possibility of doing
so at present.
The title Of the paper was Recent
Researches on the Determination and
Heredity of Sex" Former inquiries, y
said Prof Wilson, .'as to the manner in
which sex is inherited have been on the
supposition that sex is determined by
the effect of external conditions, such as
nutrition. The drift of more recent evil
dence has been against this view and
goes to show that sex is automatically
determined by the internal mechanism
of the germ cells. If this be correct, it
appears impossible to modify or control
sex by artificial means.
Research has proved. that the me-
chanical basis of sex is so adjusted as
to produce an equal number of males
and females in the long run, this fact
applying to the race as a whole, and
not to single families alone. There are,
however, variations from this equal ra-
ito. Some of these notifications have
recently been completely explained by
minute study, but many are still quite
unexplained.

this on my soul. She wouldn't believe
it at first, but / persuaded her. Good
bye!"
He sawed at the rope while he spoke,
and with the "Good-bye!" on his lips he
beheld the last strand part before him.
Shutting his eyes, he fell.
Almost at the same instant Reeston
perceived that he could do no more
that he, too, was going inevitably. He
felt the relief from below, but that did
nothing for him. The hanging mass of
snow gave way, and the gap received
him into it's depths only moment or
two after Oakley had dropped.
Some two hours later they both
emerged from the lower end of the
crevass-the worse for work and wear,
but otherwise in sound condition.
Instead of being an Unreasonable
abyss, it was less than forty deep,
with their own disturbed snow to alight
upon Oakley had come down without a
scratch, and was just in time to dodge
Reeston's hobnailed boots, when he un-
derstood that he was by no means dead.
Reeston fell more awkwardly, and had
a cut face nothing worse With all his
wits soon in the ascendant again. and
his ak safe, he saw plenty of hope in the
situation. And Oakey's ak having been
recovered, though not without search,
they set to work in grim earnest.
"We're couple of lucky beggars,"
Reeston said, early in the endeavor "At
least, l think So"
Ere they were out, he said something
else:
''Do you know, old chap, that was a
plucky thing to do-to cut loose like
that? You'll forgive me, Dick; but l
hardly gave you credit for that kind of
heroism."
81 don't wonder said Oakley. "But
it wasn't heroism."
That's what it would be called by
the best judges" Reeston insisted. "Well
we'll talk more about it by and by"
He was the first out. and held the
mended and readjusted rope with both
hands to help Oakley.
There, done!" he said, as Oakley
joined him The Pic de Dieu, white and
black against the blue sky, was the
first other object their eyes saluted in
this return to the loved upper crust of
earth. "Well, what, Sam? ?" asked Oakley,
reading something of Reeston's thoughts
in his face, but not all.
"Oh, about my loving another woman
It's the truth. Didn't think I was such
worm, did you?"
"Sam! You don't mean that ?"
ooh, yes, do! l was immensely dis
gusted with myself; yes, and puzzled
when l discovered that Ruby was only
the second best woman in the world
after ALL l kept it as dark as dark
though. You see why, of course. So
long as she loved me, l had to fight
against the other notion. I meant to
try and live up to her, and that kind
of thing But you've Strengthened my
knots, and there we are"
"Oh, Sam!" Oakley whispered again.
''But it doesn't make me any the less a
liar. And yet 1 believe I'd shrink at
nothing for her."
Really? Woman is all that to a man,
isn't she? But let's get on
''You forgive 20 Oakley pleaded.
Reeston pressed his old school friends
hand very hard.

a crevass to save another fellows life

other fellow."-C. Edwardes in Black and

Anna Gould.

Poor Anna Gould! Among her other
troubles she has had a bitter expert
gar. Most of the wealthy owners of
country houses on the outskirts of Paris
are afflicted with what may be called
their ''beggars in ordinary" These fell
lows are highly aristocratic in their
mendicancy and must have their wants
attended to at their own convenience.
One such was waiting at Nine. Anna S
castle at an early hour, just after her
fifth quarrel with Boni. She had been up
nearly all night and slept late. The beg
gar waxed impatient, and, turning fierce
ly upon the footman, said:
"HOw long dye suppose she'll be before
she comes?'
Really can't say" replied the valet,
maybe ten minutes, maybe three hours
''Then I'll tell you what it isl
growled the mendicant, ''she may provide
herself with another beggar-tell her that
from me!' And off he went-New York
