HELPFUL HINTS.

A clever little idea for refresh
 ments for a children's party is this: | Get box of animal crackers and
 with a heavy sirup fasten the animals
 upright on round salted crackers or
 the long saltines may be used. Dec
 crate with chocolate by putting in eyes with melted chocolate. These
 will delight the little people and there
 Is nothing harmful in such refresh ments.
 Never shake rugs or hang them on lines to be beaten. One such treat
 ment will often ruin a rug Place
 them on the ground and beat or sweep them They can be very satisfactorily cleaned by spreading on a porch and carefully sweeping The best way.
 of course, is to use the vacuum clean
 CT on them. as then there Is nc wear
 on them.
 Celery on Chestnut SalGd.-Take equal measures of celery and cooked
 chestnuts. cut in thin slices. Add q few tablespoonfUus of French dressing.
 At serving time arrange on lettuce and garnish with slices of lattieej ap- pies.
 A very pretty way of serving indi-
 vidual butter for company is to make
 the balls much smaller using three small ones on each butter plate in-
 stead of one, and from parsley break stalk with three stems, inserting the
 end in each butter ball. The effect is very pleasing, as they look more
 like flowers than butter.
 When out of cake put delicate
 crackers together with white or chocolate frosting. Chopped nuts and raisins may be added and these little
 cakes served with tea will be happily received by any guests.

SAVED HIS RaScaLLY SON
How Msnsard Game to Construct the Great Hall at Aries Without centrss Pillar.

The great hall oi the Hotel de Vile of Aries. France. designed by Man sard. is the wonder and admiration of every one who has seen it on account of the groined roof
 In regard to his a neighboring cafetier tells a somewhat grim story. King Louis XIY happened to be pass ing through the city just at the time Mansard was experimenting the com. pletion of his creation. The roof was supported by a powerful pillar The monarch admired the work and con graduated the architect on his design. At that moment the architect was passing through great domestic tribu- lation. He had a son under sentence of death. so he thought it would be a good opportunity to intercede on be, half of the lad.
 Mansard threw himself at the feet of the king and said Your majesty sees in the center that massive col umn? If you will spare the life of my son I will remove the unsightly pillar and the roof shall stand without sup port" "Mansard." replied the king. If you accomplish that miracle I will pardon your son. but if you fail will hang you with him"
 The architect removed the pillar without great difficulty and with the result desired. The cafetier is a philosopher and he concludes his story with the reflection that had not Man. sard's son been scamp the hall at Aires would be just like any other hall.

Net Biouses.

After lapse of season or two net blouses have been revived once more, this time it Is Paris who calls them back into favor once more and some of the recently arrived French blouses have been of sheer nets.
 In keeping with the present vogue, these new blouses frequently show wide, frilly, fluffy side ruffles, which may be of the same net as the blouse proper. or of colored net or chiffon.
 Usually they are rather simply ln style, however, with daring touch of color, 8 band of black satin, vivid tie or some little touch to distinguish them. And though many of them are made from sheer nets, chiefly Brussels others are of fancy nets or beautiful laces.

on the other. He took pleasure trip
on the continent, and he didn't come
back home again until the war was
over.
HE was treated very coldly by soci-

good old mother 10 the heart
"The dear old lady tried to explain
the matter one afternoon TO a Boston
belle.
Naturally, as the head OF the fam

part in the war. To him Eel! the duty,
perhaps the more arduous duty, OF
protecting his mother and sisters and

The GOSPEL OF JOHN.
CHAPTER ONE.
By Prof. Il. Nj. Iden of the State Nor
NAL School, Emporia, Kan.


TThis is the first in a series of articles
on the Gospel of John written by Wen
known business and professional men
These articles. secured by the Rev - Rop-
ert Gordon of the First Baptist church,
will appear in the State Journal, a chap
ter a day. Questions that may arise re-
garding this book will be answered. de6,,o Iy
Mr.. Gordon at the First Baptist cnUTcn,
Sunday night
This Gospel may be considered as
supplementary to the Synoptic Gospels'
Matthew, Mark and Luke. 1t was writ
ten by John, the beloved disciple, pro-
badly when he was a very old man. 1t
contains his ripe interpretations OF
Jesus words and works through the
retrospect of SO years or more-years
of loving, faithful trial or the truths
his Master taught him. John had hVed
to verify those teachings in his own
experience. He had put to the test ms
Masters Challenge. John I'D.
This is istinctively the spiritual Cos
pei, and yet it makes the strongest 81
appeals to the reason. At the same time
it is most practical.
John longed to awaken in all men
the satisfying faith that was his. He
believed that the knowledge which ne
had acquired through revelation ana
experience would be as convincing u
others as it was to himself II tney
only knew it. The purpose OF the DOCK
is clearly stated in chapter 20, verse
l..
accomplish this purpose.
The matchless prologue to this gospel
ends with the eighteenth verse OF It's
first chapter. Here is stated In a mas
terful way, the scope OF the BOOK
what it proposes to establish. EVERY
thing that follows verif1es and makes
clear the propositions he sets out TO
prove.
The strong and picturesque figures
of speech applied to Jesus make a fea-
ture of this gospel. He is most graph
cally described as Gods Word, the
Light of the world, the Water OF IA1e
the Bread of Life, the Good Shepnefd.
In Johns gospel miracles are oe-
scribed always with a purpose of max
ing some application to spiritual truth
For example: the healing Of the man
blind from birth takes up a whole long
chapter because it is made the basis ola
spiritual lesson.
What a splendid epitome of the whole
plan of redemption we have in what
Luther calls The Little Gospel! (Johr
3:16). It is Johns Gospel that finds US
best and finds the best in US. 1t IS
John alone who shapes for US the New
Commandment, chat we love one an
other 1t is John that draws aside
the curtain of the chamber OF prayer
and shows us our Master pouring out
his heart in prayer to God in our be
half. It is Johns Gospel that reveals
to US gIimpses of the heavenly man
sions. This is the Gospel of life, OF
hope, of good cheer.
If a man read and study the words of
this book with free intellect, and free
will, it is difficult to comprehend how
he can escape conviction of the truth
of the narrative and resist the strength
of the call he must feel to enter with
all his powers into the abundant life
herein revealed.
