The courts decision yesterday comes
as a climax to one Of the most sensa-
tional divorce cases ever heard in the
State courts. 1t was tried q few

the ears of the public.

Man Power and Coal Power.

Does any one realize the power OF
coal as a worker? A man was set to
work to pump as hard as he could all
day. and at the end Of ten hours it
was found that he had done Just as
much work as a little less than two
ounces of coal could do.
Taking all the energy put forth by
hardworking man during one whole
year, the same amount Of force would
be furnished by SO pounds of good
coal. or say 40 pounds Of average
coal.
We produce six tons head Of pop
ulation. and this contains the energy
Of 336 men working for whole year.
OF course, even in our best engines
the greater part of the working en-
ergy of coal is wasted. But even II
only one-tenth is turned to account,
one and a half hundred weight of coal
is equal to a man working for 300
days of the year.
A horse can do as much work as ten
men. but one and quarter pounds OF
coal has as much working force as a
horse expends in one day. So that a
ton of coal. II we could use all its
force. would do as much work as six
horses working for whole year.

WILD TIMES IN HONDURAS
Bandit Crew From Guatemala Raids .
Village and Carries or All
the Women.

Parallelling the robbery Of the Sab
inc women in early Roman hmistory. a
bandit crew from Guatemala dashed
across the border recently and car
ried off the women Of tiny village.
Excitement runs high, both here and
| throughout the colony. since the an
| nouncement that no troops could be
sent to run the thieves to earth. That
plans for private invasion of Guate-
mala are in progress there is no doubt.
A posse is expected to leave IN day
or two well provided with arms and
ammunition, to accompany the men of
the village to the mountain lair where,
1t is thought, the brigands hold their
fair captives.
The border near the point where the
Mexican, Guatemala and British Hon
duran lines join Is infested with out
laws, who, by jumping from one coun-
t-y to the other, avoid the rather lax
vigilance which is maintained by the
police departments in this vast and
sparsely settled region. Near the line, in
British territory. is the village Of Bull
let Tree Bank. one of the chicre sta
tions on the Upper Belize river. At
present only ten families are making
their homes in the place.
1t was during the day that the rob-
bers descended on the village and car
ried away the women. when the men
were all in the woods tapping the
zapote trees and collecting the chicle.
Five young women, daughters of the
|.h nd n
older woman, who was the wife of one
Of the workmen, were washing cloth
ing On the banks of the river The
other women, who were in the houses,
heard screams and ran out to see their
friends and relatives being driven be-
fore band of no less than IL men.
The alarm was given as soon as pos
siDle. but as the men Of the village
were several miles away and widely
scattered in the forests, 1t was night
before all were summoned home.
Their lack CT sufficient firearms made
pursuit impossible until arms and
ammunition had been secured
Loading their effects into canoes
and bringing the remaining women
and children with them, the chicle
| 5atherers came down stream as rapid
ly as the current and sturdily piled
paddles could bring them.
On arrival here their story was soon
circulated throughout the city. First
.he authorities were consulted. but it
soon was apparent that the red tape
surrounding legal procedure would bar
any effective action. Many men vol
lnteered to join the "chiclerous," and
while the expedition is being conduct
ed as secretly as possible, there is lit
le danger of police interference, as
they are thought to sympathize with
the movement.-Belize British Hon.

Lawn Parties for Children.

cd In the child's summer program. A
specially fine lingerie frock should be

frocks OF tucked lawn, dimity and dot

frock should lie in its exquisitely
sheer. fine material and in an elabora-
tion Of handwork rather than in any
excess Of frills or furbelows. Lace Is
lavishly used on the finer frocks for
children this summer. but 1t Is grace
fully and cleverly applied with an In
tent to preserve simplicity and straight
ness Of line. Pin tucking makes a

sorrows and trials, accepting them
in q spirit of Christian resignation to
His will. realizing that "the servant
is not greater than his master" God
a.wuys gives strength and consola-
ton. For in this beautiful Christian
virtue, as in all others, Christ our
Lord himself is our highest and most
perfect model. He practiced humility
in n most eminent degree on every
and all occasions. The people Of His
time expected Him to come amongst
them as great Ruler; one who
would rule the universe and gain
back for the Jewish people the
sceptre which had long since been
held by the Romans. They expected
with great pomp and ceremony and
surrounded by all the pleasures that
wealth, power and influence could
secure. But how differently Christ
came amongst the children of men,

self tells in His delight. "He came

find Him entering the world at Beth

His mother, and fosterfather Joseph.
Throughout His childhood, He was
known as the Carpenters son." and
all during the three years of His pub
lie ministry He exemplified this same
virtue of humility in the highest de-
gree. Even whilst hanging on the
cross n few moments before the close
of His life, spent in suffering and
humiliation, he allowed his torturers
to taunt Him, with their SCOTS and
mockirg words, "Ycu saved others.
now save yourse,f,"He was almighty
and by one act of His will might
have struck them dead in an instant.
Eat no! He allowed them to jeer, to
hurl insult and scorn at him, and
why: simply that we in turn might
follow in His footsteps by initiating
His example. "If you would be my
disciple, take up your cross and fol-
low me-" In other words, He preach
ed humility and practiced it in His
own life that We, seeing His example
might well learn the lesson that
the servant is not greater than his
master" That in all sorrows and
temptations of life, His example
might be an inspiration to others, a
source OF strength and consolation.
Today, then, let us humble our
selves in the sight of Almighty God
realizing our own nothingness and
absolute dependence on Him for all
things, like the humble Publican
