The Three Great Chances.

Every human being-man, woman and child, hero and convict, neurasthe- nic and deep-sea fisherman, athlete and invalid-needs the blessing of God through three, and only three. great channels: Responsibility. recrea- tion and affection; work, play and love. With these any life is happy in spite of sorrow and pain, successful despite the bitterest failures. With out them a man breaks his heart. sewers his conscious connection with God. If you want to keep a head strong. fatuous youth from overreach- ing himself you try to give him re sponsibility, recreation. affection If you want to put courage and aspira- tion into the gelatinous character of a street-walker, or the flickering men tality of a hysteric. you labor to fur nish just the same trio--work, recrea- tion and affection. In every case the healing power which you want to give is real life, and real life means just these three things. The same needs are fixed for all of us-and the same all-sufficing bounty in the supply, if we can get and keep in touch with it Richard Cabot. in the Atlantic.

Hockey Is nEoothaII on Ice. .n

Hockey is a sort of football on ice. Therein lies it's popularity. Essential are the elements of physical contact, characteristic of football, and the swiftly moving attack and defenses in pursuit of the puck little solid rubber disk-that skips over the ice. Be it known that hockey games are contested with the bitterness of strug- gles on the gridiron. For there is that pulls people from their seats. It begins with the chirp of the referees whistle. Often players are injured and carried from the ice, but substi- tutes are rushed into the breaches and, as in football. the game sweeps on.-Edward Lydell Fox. in the Co lumbian.

Night.

Along the high-hedged lane John Strong swung. the June gloaming deepening into night. He loved to shove his face into the night; he gloried in the uncertainty of night, the indefiniteness of night, and his soul cried back a wild answer to the cry of the nighthawk and the owl. Night is more primitive than day, night is more calamitous, night is a savage. night everywhere is the true aborigine. Day has taken on civiliza- ton; night hurls the world back to the day of the war-club. the flint ar rowhead. the painted visage John Strong loved the night with an all most maleyolent love. In the night he could hear the Valkyries scream ing. the witches riding their broom sticks, the ghouls scraping the mold from off the new-buried coffin. John Strong swung along. his face set to meet oncoming night.-Adventure.

DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS
King James CompIacent Estimate of Royal Dignity as Expressed
 in Speech.

The state of monarchy is the su- premest thing on earth; for kings are not only Gods lieutenants upon earth and sit upon Gods throne. but even by God himself they are called gods. There be three principal similitudes that illustrate the state of monarchy. One taken out of the word of God and the other two taken out of the grounds of policy and philosophy.
 In the Scriptures kings are called gods and so their power is after a cer- tain relation compared to the divine power. Kings are also compared to the fathers of families; for king is truly perens patriae, the polite fa- ther of his people. And lastly kings are compared to the head of this mi crocosm of the body of man.
 Kings are justly called gods. for that they exercise a manner of re- semblance of divine power upon earth; for if you will consider the at tributes to God. you shall see aow they agree in the person of king. God hath power to create or destroy, make or unmake at his pleasure, to give life or send death, to judge all and to be judged nor accountable to none, to raise low things and to make high things low at his pleasure, and to God are both soul and body due.
 And the like power have kings; they make and unmake their subject, they have power of raising and casting down. of life and death, judges over all their subjects and in all causes and yet accountable to none but God only. They have power to exalt low things and abase high things. and make of their subjects like men at the chess-a pawn to take a bishop or a knight-and to cry up or down any of their subjects, as they do their money. And to the king is due both the affection of the soul and the serv- ice of the body of his subjects.-From a Speech of James I. Before Parlia, ment in 1609

THE POT AND THE KETTLE
Young Woman's Suspicion of Stranger in Train Results in Much Elm
 barrassment.

She was not accustomed to traveIing g alone, and when strange man took the seat beside her in the day coach she was annoyed, especially as there
 were other vacant seats which he might have chosen To make the matter more unpleasant the train sud- denly shot into tunnel Hastily the young woman remembered that in the big, square pocket of her coat, on the side next the stranger, was her purse. Agitatedly she thrust her hand down into the pocket to make sure her purse was still there. Not moment too soon. To her horror she felt the strangers hand slip softly down into her pocket, and in an instant his hand had closed over hers. She suppressed a terrified desire to leap up and scream. What was the use of making a disturbance in tunnel? People would only grin, and imagine all sorts of things. Of course he was only a common thief. and so soon as the light of day was again turned on him he would withdraw his hand She then could take another seat, and not draw to herself the attention of the other passengers. As the thoughts and plans were flashing through her mind the train emerged from the tunnel, and the stranger turned on her a slow, significant smile. Her hand was deep down in the pocket of his overcoat.

~ A HOME ~ MISSIONARY
By Martha MccuIloch William.


When Sandford came back from a trip South with bundle of curls and frfils, set off with a rosebud mouth and an engaging and artless helpless ness, 1t is putting it very mildly to say the gang was amazed.
 Sandford, the soul of capacity, the stern judge, the fellow who had weighed in the balance every friend and emotion he had ever cherished before allowing himself to cherish theml It was beyond reason or cal culation-they shook foreboding headt behind his back, and to his face gave him felicitations that were ghastly in their exaggeration. But Mrs. Sand. ford-nobody ventured somehow to call her Mabel, albeit first-naming was a rigid gang rule-smjled small soft smiles over the felicitAtions. and mur- mured that she hoped Archer's friends would find tiny space for her.
 She was a nice little thing-all agreed to that. But what of Sand ford's future? Arch was none so easy to live with. Moreover, his work al ways suffered if he had rasping en- vironment. And with this ridiculous child at the head of his establishment. he could not help but be rasped. It showed how little she knew that she insisted upon keeping house-the gang affected studio life and bohemian din ners.
 The married members tried to warn her-to point out the servant problem the janitor pitfall, but all in vain. Will lard said pityingly:

 Sure I would, and I did. But nc sooner had I handed it to the princj- pal than he seized me by the coat collar and gave me royal hiding.
 Whats this forr I demanded when I got through yelling. I haven't done anything
 Read thatl' he said, and be thrust out the letter of which I had been the innocent bearer. And this is the way the letter read:
 This boy has tormented me past all endurance. He richly deserves a whipping that he will not soon for get.
 ''The letter was signed by our teach CT. Well. I got the whipping all right, but I should like to tell you what happened to the boy for whom the whipping was really intended when I met him next day"

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you please let me know how to
clean a bright red velvet ribbon which
has been soiled from the rain and dust.
and can you please tell me what will
cure a nervous headache, and what
Is good for dandruf? And oblige
M, H.
You can try cleaning the velvet rib
bon with gasoline, but doubt whether
II can be restored to its original color.
Pour the gasoline into a china bowl
or basin and wash the ribbon. Use the
gasoline out of doors to avoid all an
ger of explosion. Do not put the vel
vet near the fire to dry, hang II out
of doors. Fol a v headache take
fifteen drops of aromatic spirits of am
monia and enough elixir of potassium
of bromide to make a t~easpoonful and
mix with "a quarter of a glass of water.
Beat the whites of two eggs to a froth,
rub well into the roots Of the hair
Leave On to dry. Then wash the head
clean with equal parts of bay rum and
rose water. Rinse in clear cold water.
