he continued. I'VE forget what real
prayer is. Emerson once said that
prayer Is not to beg 1t is not to
change God. All the prayers of all the
people in all the worlds could not
change the government Of the uni

people are uttered for mis- recovery,
but they could not extract the bullet,
or stop its fatal work. We are learn
ing that the universe is governed by
law. absolutely immutable, in which
God never interferes.
DO | not believe in prayer then? |
certainly do. But not in the idea that
prayer is simply to ask for some
thing. to beg, to tel the Almighty
what he ought to do and then expect
him TO do it. Prayer is universal; it
is the natural language Of religion, of
the universe. The moan of a child for
its mother is prayer. The hopes,
the warnings, the longings, the loves,
the gratitude of men and women are
prayers. whether uttered or not. The
value of prayer is its reflex action; il,
moves and changes the one who
prays, not The Deity; and in this way
is prayer answered. Kansas City

The Subcommittee having IN charSe

One enthusiastic Y. NJ. c. A. work

pool at the park has been abandoned

SALE OF NEAR BEER.
State Making Inquiry to Ascertain
Percentage OF Alcohol.

Oklahoma city, Okla, June 20
Near beer manufacturers have com
planned to Governor Cruce that coun-
ty attorneys are exercising undue Wig
lance toward sale of their product in
Oklahoma and submit statements
showing that the beverage does not
contain sufficient alcohol to place il
under the ban OF intoxicating liquors.
The statements show that two of the
products referred to contain no alco-
hol. while other analyses agree that
the beverages are preserved by a very
small percentage of alcohol. Governor
Cruca has not interested himself in
the complaints. but has forwarded
Jhem TO Superintendent Of Health
Mahr Tor attention. If the products
are permitted here under the prohibi
ton law it is still within the health
department. jurisdiction to say
whether they comply with the pure
food regu 'ations.

THIS BOY WINS So
CASH PRIZE TODAY
TWO WORDS ARE SUPPLIED COR
RECTLY AND THE PRIZE DROPS
BACK TO ONE DOLLAR.

1t was left to small boy to locate
the two missing words that have been
omitted from the missing word page
for the past three days and the cash
is awarded to William Pfeiffer, Jr.,
231 Stanley Boulevard, who sent in 4
correct list-the accumulated premium
being three cartwheels.
The words omitted and the ads from
which they were taken follow:
Special-Studio Grand.
Only-A. C. Holman.
The contest now has only one more
week to run and interest in the final
stretch promises to be greater than
in the former contest. Today the
prize drops back to one dollar-and
three words have been taken from
the page of ads. These words are
going to be easy to locate and we pre-
dict that they will not be long in be-
ing discovered.
There are several changes in the ads
on this page today and the contes
tants will do well to read every ad
very carefully-the words are apt to,
be missing right where you would
scarcely expect them-so it behooves
the competitors to read the ads close
ly-and don't be content to pass it up
with one single reading, but read the
ads over several times if you are not
certain that you are correct the first
time.
The Ardmoreite IS gratified at the
results that have been attained in this
contest toward the object sought
that of acquainting the reading public
with the merchants who use its adver
tising columns-to get the people in
the habit of reading the ads in the
paper. The shrewd housewife reads
the special prices advertised by the
different merchants in an effort TO
reduce the high cost of living-and i /
must be admitted that there are 9th
ers who read the ads just from habit
without taking into consideration
the merits of the goods advertised
and the money that can be saved in
a years time through the studious
and iudcious reading of newspapers
advertising columns. IT is the person
who doesn't read the ads at all and
the person who scans them merely
through curiosity that this feature was
inaugurated-to get this class in the
habit of reading the ads for the saving
they can make thereby. The regular
run of ads in the paper every day
contain many money saving hints that
would result in many dollars being
saved in years time and the people
who are not in the habit of reading
all the ads lose much in the long run.
Read all the ads in the paper and see
if this is not fact borne out by what
the merchants have to tell you.
Three words are left out today and
they are worth one dollar to the first
correct list opened. Send in your list
early.

l jumped up and seized the fire

Hotchkiss, who was wideawake at
once He took in my offensive attitude,
the tongs, the direction of my gaze,
and needed nothing more As he
picked up the candle and darted out
into the hall, l followed him. He made
directly for the staircase, and part
way up he turned off TO the right
through a small door. We were on
the gallery itself; below us the fire
cleaned cheerfully. the cat was not
in sight. There was no sign of my
ghostly visitant, but as we stood there

slid over the railing and fell to the
floor below.

hole in me. If you'd seen that cat
you would realize my state of mind.
That was traditional graveyard

ALL" he lied cheerfully. You dozed
off, and the rest is the natural result
of meal on a buffet car"
Nevertheless, he examined the Box
hara carefully when we went down,
and when l finally went to sleep he
was reading the only book in sight
"Elwell on Bridge" The first rays of
daylight were coming mistily into the
room when he reused me. He had
his finger on his lips, and he whis-
pered sibilantly while l tried to draw
on my distorted boots.
81 think we have him." he said tri-
umphantly. I've been looking around
some, and l can tell you this much.
Just before we came in through the
window last night, another man came.
Only-he did not drop, as you did.
He swung over to the stair railing,
and then down. The rail is scratched.
