Depth Of Meanness.

Little Jonas was the son of penuri-
GUS parents, and the son babe fair to
Guido them in frugality-a fact that
worked extreme hardship upon Bobby
Graves, his seatmate.
Bobby came home one night looking
so depressed that his mother asked
the cause of his trouble.

Trenton, August 24th:-
One of the attractive features of the
great Sunday School Convention,
which will be held in this city, No
vember 18th to 14th, will be the sing
ing of the convention chorus choir,
under the direction of Messrs. Tullar
and Meredith of New York. This
chorus of three hundred voices was
organized last May and their work
during the sessions of the convention
will be of high order, and will give an
inspiring effect to the program which
is of unusual excellence. Grant Col
fax Tullar, who is considered the
prince of convention music leaders,
has a manner distinctly his own, when
it comes to making people sing. He
made n decided hit at the Plainfleld
convention in November 1911, and his
services as well as the services of L.

Singing has always been promin-
ent feature of the Sunday School con-
vention in New Jersey and the Tren-
ton local committee are anxious to
make the music at this years conven-
ton the greatest feature. The chorus
of three hundred voices, is composed
OF the best singers from tho fifty Sun
day Schools of the City, and when
they commence training in October
under the leadership of Mr.. Tullar,
the results will be apparent during
the sessions of the convention in No
vember The chairman of the music
committee of the Trenton Convention,
Joseph II. Wright, announces that
the musical numbers of the chorus
dnring the convention will add to the
spirit of the sessions, and especially
the song services which will be given
each of the three evenings, for n half
hour preceding the regular work OF
the sessions.
The fact that the Trenton commit
tee is making such elaborate prepar-
atoms TO entertain the Sunday School
workers of New Jersey, has made a
favorable impression on the Sunday
School world at large, aud the com
ing of the Sunday School hosts to

PLEASURE IN SUBURBAN LIFE
Many Ways In Which Il Can Be Made
Superior to Either the Rural
or Urban.

We should sharply distinguish boz
tween suburban life and rural life, for
a vast gap separates them, especially
for the gentler sex. Too often In
strictly rural life woman's time Is
wholly occupied in drudgery, to the
exclusion Of all social life. a consid-
cradle Distance from nearest peigh-
bors and their equally manifold Duties
conspiring to prevent a supposed
waste Of time in visiting"
While all this is changing for the
better, such conditions were never
true Of ordinary suburban life. Even
the farmers wife may now chat with
her friends and neighbors over the
telephone. and rural delivery places
her closely in touch with the worlds
movements and brings small articles
of merchandise right to her door
nearly as quickly as 1t is delivered to
her city sisters. Suburban life con-
sists of living inprather thickly settled
communities. generally without the
confines of municipalities, yet having.
usually, all the oity's advantages OF
transportation, water service, tele-
phones, gas, electricity. daily papers
delivered a few hours after publica-
ton, together with many valuable up
to-date conveniences.
Every such community should have
a live Improvement association. and
perhaps, In addition, an equally live
woman's club. Such clubs may pur-
chase magazines for either individual
OF collective use at greatly reduced
rates, and would they but sufficiently
cooperate, all household commodities
at equally advantageous prices. Co
operation, zealously and honestly car
ried out. spells success for any organi-
cation or business enterprise.

PUT THE SCHOOL YARD FIRST
Some Truth In Writer'S Criticism of
Communities Methods In
America.

If 1t were not pathetic one could
we'll laugh to see how foolishly the
average small town and rural COM
munity expends its time and money
upon outdoor ornamentation. Ere
quently the only wellcared-for spot
is the cemetery. the abode of the
dead-past all earthly help. The
school yard, where character is formed
and lasting impressions are made, is
as bare as a paved street. From no
standpoint may any tenable argument
be made that the dead are entitled
to greater consideration or better sur
roundings than our children, who are
but clay in the hands of the parent
potter. He who cares properly for
the living is never lacking In respect
for those who have passed away.
Another fact has often puzzled the
writer; to see a community making
efforts to raise fund to purchase
and ornament a public square when
their district school yard, of equal
dimensions, was entirely bare of trees
or plants. Is 1t not strange that the
only plat in district in which all
have common ownership should be the
barest and most unsightly yard in
the community? No plausible excuse
can be given for such condition--it
costs but little to get started right
Almost every one In the district can
spare a plant or easily-grown cuttings
Of the harder plants. Get started on
the right plan and do not leave too
much to the teacher. who is apt to
be changed every year; the work
must be carried out under the super
vision Of permanent residents. Have
plenty OF room in the school yards
and put It to beneficial use. We do
plore the fact that the United States
is absolutely behind every other CIV
ilized country in the establishment of
school grounds.--Los Angeles Times.

BEES AS RHEUMATISM CURE
Medical Authorities, After Thorough
Examination, Say sting Has
Curative Value.

In a recent issue OF the Farm and
Fireside Is an account of the use of
blessings as q cure for rheumatism.
This cure has been thoroughly exam
ined by some of the great eastern med
zeal colleges and Endorsed by them as
scientific. The essence of the cure
lies in the formic acid which bees
inject into the blood. Following 10
brief extract from the article:
"One sting will not cure your rheu-
matism, neither will two or three, but
If you let one bee sting you every day
your rheumatism will soon disappear.

where bees were used to cure rheuma-
tism. Mr.. Fred w. Muth became In
