She Foraot.

At 8 o'clock the absentmindcd wo-
man left home with an umbrella. At
the subway station she concluded 1t
wouldn't rain and left the umbrella
with tho corner newsdcaler. When
she came back at 6 o'clock 1t was
raining. Boys with umbrellas to rent
darted toward her when she appeared
at the head Of the subway stairs. She
paid one boy 10 cents to escort her
home. Then she remembered her own
umbrella. Sheltered by q borrowed
umbrella, she went back to get 1t. The
newsdealer looked uneasy.
Just n minute" he said. "Oh, Tom,
come here"
A small boy lodged around the cor
ner Of the stand and handed over q
dripping umbrella. The absentmlndcd
woman looked at the boy; she looked
at the umbrella. She recognized both.
"1dlot!" she said. 81 paid that boy
10 cents for taking me home with my
own umbrella."-New York Press.

A WANDERING Lake.

Lake Nor, in the Tabl desert, In
southwestern Asia. which has been
called the wandering lake." presents
n phenomenon about which contra
dictory views have been entertained.
Perhaps the Swedish explorer Sven
Hcdin has given the most plausible
explanation touching this phehome-
non.
1t appears, according to that explor-
er, that the Tarlm river. entering the
lake from the west, brings down dur
ing the period Of high water late In
summer great quantity Of salt,
which has the effect Of driving the lake
lying on the level floor Of the desert
toward the southeast. But the sum-
nler wind, drifting the surface sand
and darkening the heavens with dust,
blows generally from the northeast,
and 1t, too, tends to drive the lake be-
fore 1t. The combined effect Of the
urging by the wind and the river Is
to force the lake southwark. Yet 1t
is thought the migration Of the lake
Is not constant In direction, but 1t
Shifts back and forth Internationally,
according MS the circumstances change.

ing for the publicity committee, said
that the committee had considered a
number of plans for advertising the
city. and had chosen plans that he
thought would be very effective IN
advertising Wilmington. The inter

said, against anything that might
seem an imposition upon the business
men. He declined TO go into further
explanation of these plans al pres
ent Mr.. Purdy took occasion 10 com
mend the gas company for its efforts
to advertise Wilmington by having
signs on its gas tanks.
II was agreed that the visit of the
battleship Delaware and the firemen's
parade had advertised the city most
effectively. Howell S. England declar-
ed that the most beneficial result of
the celebrations was the stringing OF
electric lights across Market street
He expressed the hope that the inno
vation would develope into a system
of cluster lights.

BEFORE THE COCK CROW

The Master discerned the danger
| of his loving but impetuOus follow.
err, and uttered q warning word
that before cock-crowing he would
DENY his Master. How improbable
this seemed to St. Peter! How he
courageously declared, Though
should die with thee, yet will not
deny thee" And so said all of the
eleven. Their hearts were good.
And the Lord looketh upon the
| heart.
Our study now passes to verse SO.
The Master had been arrested,
The scattered disciples had fled.
St. John, because of an acquaint-
ance with the high priests family,
penetrated further into the palace
than ST. Peter, who stood in the
courtyard. A maid of the palace
recognized ST. Peter as one of
Jesus disciples and so declared
publicly. Fearful that that he
might share the fate of the Master,
St. Peter denied his identity, declar-
ing that he knew nothing about the
matter. A little later another de-
clared the same.
Peter emphasized his denial with
an oath, declaring that he knew not
Jesus. Later the word spread
throughout the courtyard and
many took it up, declaring that
they believed what the maid said
and that St. Peter had the Galilean
dialect, anyway. To emphasize the
denial ST. Peter began to curse, and
to swear that he knew not the man.
Directly after, cock-crowlng began.
Then ST. Peter remembered the
words of his Master, Before cock
Growing thou shalt deny me thrice. T"
Alas! he had been too sure of his
own stability, too confident OF his
loyalty. He was entrapped by the
Adversary along the very line of his
boasting. Another account says
that Jesus turned and looked at
Peter. That look was SD fficient.
1t spoke volumes to St Peters 10y
al heart. 1t was not look of
disdain, nor of anger, we may be
sure. 1t was look of loving SYM
patty 1t melted ST Peters heart.
He went out and wept bitterly The
followers of the Master to-day,
beset by weaknesses and frall1tles
and temptations of the Adversary,
have the lesson of ST. Peters expe-
rience as warning to be confident
in the Lord and to look to him for
assistance, rather than to be self
confident. All those who fail to-day
