Says Exercise 10 harmful,


"Ofice workers should not take ex-
ercise after their days work." said
DR.. e. A. Walker Of Boston, who is at
the Arlington. The root reason ia
that though headwork is not exercise
in the sense that it develops the body,
it most decidedly Is exercise in that Il
induces flag and physical lassitude.
So 1t is almost pathetic for q man to
expect any good to come from taking
more exercise when the exercise in
volved in the days work has already
tired him out.
One takes 1t that young people
have had sufficient outdoor exercise
reasonably to develop their frames be-
fore beginning Office work. So when
once they have started in the Office
In earnest, it Is much better for them
to realize at once that their days of
hard physical strain are over and that
henceforth they must conine these eff
forts to week ends and holidays.

er unnatural circumstances, and in
door headworkers will soon find that
a good state Of health can be main

to listen. to catch the faintest whisper
that might come to him from the
white faced man u his side. Each
passing moment of silence added to
his desperation. He squeezed the
sheriH's hand in his arm, but there
was no responding signal; In a patch
Of thick gloom that almost concealed
the figures ahead he pressed near to
him and lowered his head again
and Jeekum pushed him back fiercely,
with a low curse.
They emerged from the forest and
the clear starlight shone down upon
them. A little distance on lay the
lake in shimmering stiffness. Nathan
lei looked boldly at the sheriff now.
and as his glance passed beyond him
he was amazed at the change that had
come over Neil. The young mans
head was bowed heavily upon his
breast, his shoulders were hunched
forward, and he walked with a list
less, uneve step. Was it possible
that his magnificent courage had at
last given way?
A hundred steps farther, they came
to the beach and Nathaniel saw a
boat at The waters edge with a single
figure guarding it. Straight to this
Jeekum led his prisoners. For the
first time he spoke to them aloud.
"One in front, the other in back" he
said.
For an instant Nathaniel found him
self close beside Neil and he prodded
him sharply with his knee. His COM
panion did not lift his head. He made
no sign, gave no last flashing COM
radeship with his eyes, but climbed
into the bow Of the boat and sat down
with his chin still on his chest, like q
man lost in stupor.
Nathaniel followed him. scarcely be-
lieving his eyes, and sat himself in
the stern, leaning comfortably against
the knees of the man who took the

FOR THE FIRST PICNIC.

Why not be the first to entertain a,
q picaic and relieve yourself from
some of those social debts that have
been hanging over you? The picnic
Is an ideal way of pleasing ones
friends. 1t may be a porch party, q
lawn fete, a garden party or just a
picnic. according to the environment,
means and desire of the hostess.
The entertainment may be deter
mined by the taste of the people in
vited.
A delightful morning or afternoon
may he spent by asking the guests to
bring their fancy work or sewing,
while one of the number reads aloud.
The reading may be followed by dis
cussion. For those who like contests,
those treating of flowers, birds or
fruits are appropriate.
For refreshments, the punch bowl
may dispense refreshment during the
afternoon, and later sandwiches,
salads, cakes, ices and coffees are
served.
Sponge cake.-Try this delicious
cake, to serve with ice cream and
crushed Strawberries: To seven eggs
take half a pound Of -four and three
quarters Of a pound Of sugar, the juice
and rind of q lemon. Pour yer the
sugar a half cup of boiling water and
let it boil. Beat the whites and the
yolks together. beating the whole until
1t is thick and light. Stir in the flour
lightly, add a dash of salt and the
lemon last of all. Bake In a slow
oven. If properly made this cake will
be wonderfully light and delicate.
Pimiento cheese.-The cream cheese
which we buy in the markets put up
In jars is so we'll liked for sandwich
filings, and may be prepared at home.
Take rich cheese grated, and add an
equal quantity of cream cheese; mois.
ten with the liquor which comes over
the canned red peppers, season with
sal: and cayenne and then add as
much of the chopped red pepper as
ones taste demands.
This cheese is very pretty made into
individual balls, decorated with a slice
Of stuffed olives.

CRIMINAL NEGLECT
OF SKIN AND HAIR

Cuticura Soap and Ointment do SO
much for poor compilations, red,
rough hands, and dry. thin and fall
ing hair, and cost SO little that it is
almost criminal not to use them.
Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of a clear skin, soft white hands and
good hair. These blessings are often
only a matter of a little thoughtful,
timely care, viz.:-warm baths with
Cuticura Soap, assisted when neces
sary by gentle anointings with Cuti-
cura Ointment. The latest Cuticura
book, an invaluable guide to skin and
hair health, will be mailed free, on

tiller. He felt a curious thrill pass
through him when he discovered a mo-
ment later that this man was Jeekum.
Two men seized the bars amidships,
A fourth, with his rifle across his
knees, sat facing Neil.
For the first time Nathaniel found
himself wondering what this voyage
meant. Were they to be rowed far
down the shore to some secret fast
ness where no other ears would hear
the sound of the avenging rifles, and
where, a few inches under the forest
mold, their bodies would never be dis
covered? Each stroke OF the oars
added to the remoteness Of this pos
sibility. The boat was heading
straight out to sea Perhaps they were
to meet a less terrible death by drown
ing, an end which, though altogether
unpleasant, held something comforting
in 1t for Captain Plum. Two hours
passed without pause in the steady
labor Of the men at the oars. In those
hours not a word was spoken. The
two men amidships held no communi-
cation. The guard In the bow moved
a little now and then only to relieve
his cramped limbs. Neil was abso-
lutely motionless. as though he had
ceased to breathe. Jeekum uttered
not a whisper.
It was his whisper, that Nathaniel
waited for, the signaling clutch Of his
fingers, the sound Of his breath close
to his eare. Again and again he
pressed himself against the sherin's
knees. He knew that he was under
stood, and yet there came no answer
At last he looked up, and Jeekum's
face was far above him. staring
straight and unseeing into the dark.
ness ahead. His last spark of hope
went out.

remove from the water. cut OF the
rind, stick a few tozen cloves in 1t,
and bake an hour IN a moderate oven.
If a cup of sweet ckier Is added to the
water just before putting into the
cooker it will add greatly to the
flavor.

which the chicken has been stewed.

The Telephone Girl

The telephone girl sits in her chair,
and listens to voices from everywhere
She hears all the gossip, she hears all
the news, she knows who is happy
and who has the blues. She knows
all our SORROWS, she knows all our
joys, she knows all the girls whe are
chasing the boys. She knows of all
our troubles. she knows Of our strife,
she knows every man who is mean to
his wife. She knows every time we
are out with the boys, she hears the
II each fellow employees. She,
knows every woman who has a dark
past, she knows every man who's in
clined to be fast. If the telephone
girl would tell all she knows, it would
turn our friends into bitterest foes ;
she could raise a small wind that
would soon be a, gale, ingulf us in
trouble and land us in Jail. She
could let 60 a story which gaining
in force, would cause half our wives
to sue for divorce. She could get
all the churches mixed up in a fight,
and turn all our day into sorrowing
night, In fact she could keep the
whole ;twn in a sew, if.she'd tell
the tenth part of AL that she knew.
Now doesn't it make your brain
and head whirl, when you think what
you owe to the telephone girl?-Ex,

There is something in the atmos-
phere Of a church house on Sunday
which conduces to relaxation Of both
BODY and mind. A mar with a fairly
clear conscience and a fairly good
digestion is nearer a somnolent condi-
ton on that day than on any other.
1t is a day of rest, of peace. Finding
himself in a company of respectable
people who can be trusted not to pick
his pockets, the most cautious indi-
vidual who would never, allow himself
to fall a-napping in a street car, finds
himself also being lulled into repose.
The man in the pulpit is not to be
blamed for this. We doubt not that
Morpheus often invaded Henry Ward
Beecher's church while sermons were
being delivered, which are, and al
ways will be, classics of pulpit ora
tory. And Mr.. Beecher could illum-
mate the higher criticism with flashes
of brilliancy. The ordinary preachg
is more apt to make the higher criti-
cism weansome. The more perfect
and pleasing his ~elocution the more
likely he is, when talking of the high
err criticism, to set some Of his audi
ence nodding.
Rev. DR.. Reed, long located at
Mckinney, Tex, practiced his prem
tice hand while a student at Wander
bilt University on colored congrega-
tons in and around Nashville.
Though not an expounder of the
higher criticism, in the first of these
trial sermons he enlarged somewhat
on the story of Genesis in conveying
to the mind a word picture of the
cataclvsmiC events of which the Crea-
ion of the world may well be sup.
posed to have been a part. He made
a verbal panorama of the scene. At
the conclusion one of the deaCons
arose and in thanking him said:
