Capernaum was situated on the main

terranean; it was also a center of the

He went where the people were to be
found. ..And he taught them" He had
only one subject-the kingdom of God
and the need for repentance he ex-
pounded it by parallels and proverbs,
by miracles of healing and sympathetic
ways of intercourse with all classes
and conditions of people. 1t was to be
expected that "an the multitude re-
sorted unto him'-some in amazement,
others in admiration and not a few in
affection. His influence was also spread
ing among the ''unchurched." THE re-
ceipt of custom" Capernaum was an
important toll station where customs
duties were levied and taxes collected
for the tetrarch of Galilee. The work
of collecting the taxes was farmed out
to men of wealth; they in turn sublet
the districts to contractors, who gener-
ally employed the natives of the place
as collectors of the rents and taxes.
These mental officers were especially
detested in Palestine, where the pay
ment of taxes to foreign and heather
government was resented for religious
and patriotic reasons. These publicans,
as they were called, were ostracized
from Jewish society and their tainted
money was proudly rejected by priest
and people. Levi the son of Alpheus"
belonged to this class; his other name

Theodore, the gift of God, or given to

Joined the society of Jesus. Follow

to the four fishermen, and he, like
them, followed him and joined the
ranks of discipleship- 1t was not an
act of impulse. Matthew had not only
heard Jesus preach, but had doubtless
been interviewed, and Jesus saw in
him a fit member Of his band.

Matthew burned his bridges behind
him when he needed the call of Jesus.
He could not go back to his former
business, as the fishermen might have
done, in case of necessity. But he paid
the full price of discipleship and at
once entered upon his new duties as a
fisher of men, Jesus sat at meat in his

Matthew in honor Of Jesus, to which

:|Our UluStrAted Story
On Time at Last
By RALPH N. GROVER

A slight, girlish form enveloped in a
long. loose evening coat restlessly pac-
ed the broad veranda of Greymere inn.
Grace O'Rourke was lovely at all
times, but tonight her Irish blue eyes
flashed an unusual brilliancy, which
made her positively irresistible
Better join u.s." called Elizabeth
Dwyer as the latter left the porch es-
corted by 1.-THE youth.
1t was the night of the annual ball
given to the guests. Grace hesitated
for a moment
"Oh, Julian will be along soon, Eliza
BETH she cried. Hes late, as usual,
but Wen meet you at the dance later"
Other couples followed the first, but
still Grace O'Rourke, the belle of Grey
mere inn, paced the veranda- Finally
a mans voice greeted her.
81 say, Miss O'Rourze,'' he suggest
ed, "let me cut out that tardy Haw-
thorne, won't you? Come along to the
dance with me?''
Again Grace hesitated. Down in the
farthest corner of her heart she really
and truly cared for Julian Hawthorne,
but he was never on time for any APP
pointment, and here was a choice OPP
portunity to teach him bitter lesson.
Then, too, George Uhl was a splendid
dancer. Impulsively she accepted his
offer, and half an hour later found
them in the midst of the summer
crowd dancing and apparently oblivi-
GUS of all else on earth.
The ball was at its height when Ju-
liam Hawthorne entered the room In
the doorway he leaned against the sill
| as if physically tired, and the lids hung
heavily over his black eyes.
AS George and Grace passed him lost
in the ecstasy of a dreamy waltz his
gaze followed the two closely, and a
satirical smile spread over his face
| When the dance was over Hawthorne
| slowly crossed the room.
MAY 1 have the next dance, Grace?'
! he asked, without seeming to notice
| Uhl, who stood by her side.
do you think you could be on time
to claim it?'' parted Grace, with sting
| ing sarcasm.

thorne answered as he extended his
| left arm.

On Sunday mornings, when the mu-
scum is closed, Plato stays in the lee
ture room with the white rabbit and
the guinea pig, chipping and calling
much of the time to his many yisi-

fire escapes and piazzas with their
faces glued to the outside of the win
dows- The fathers and mothers and
teachers of Plato's friends also seem to
know him, while much Of the CONVEX
sation that one overhears on the streets
and sidewalks of this immediate neigh
borhood is given to the discussion OF
Plato's habits and behavior.

A Bear That Skates.

One of the very funniest and most
unusual sights to be witnessed in Lon
don is a huge black bear on skates.
Bears, as you know, are commonly
supposed to be among the most awk-
ward of living animals, but this partic-
ular bruin is not nearly SO clumsy as
the average fat man just learning to
skate. Perhaps the fact that he has
been practicing for a long time, how
ever, has something to do with the
matter of his skill.
He wears extremely strong leather
boots on his hind feet, and it is to
these that his specially made skates
are fastened.

likely that the taffetas In the display
of silks will be much more popular as

some models are cut away to an ex-

away effect, which Is mostly below

There was something within Grace
O'Rourke that night which told her to
reject the arm he extended, but that
greater something-love-ma made her ac-
cept it. In another moment they were
whirling round and round the ROOM
The night was warm, and when the
dance was half over they walked out
of the ballroom
Il want to tell you why I was late
tonight, Grace" Hawthorne began
'-But 1 don't want to hear inter
rupted Grace. Its always some ex-
cuse, Julian, and I'm tired of it all. If
it's not the Office it's the train, and if
it's not the train it's something etse."
well, then. will you let me tell you
something else-something that you've
never heard before, at least not from
me?' he added.
..Oh, all right agreed Grace, ''only
make it short story, for I've prom
ised the next twostep to George"
1T won't take long to tell you, dear"
Hawthofne's voice seemed very near,
and he spoke slowly and with great
earnestness. Il just want to try to
tell you how much l love you, Grace,
how long 1 have loved you and that at
last 1 am in position to- ask you to be

too late" announced Grace, with as
sumed nonchalance. give just prom

Hawthorne lighted a cigarette and
said nothing If Grace expected a
TRADE about the fickleness of women
she was disappointed Hawthorne was
the type of man to take defeat grace
fully, but he did not fail to note the
unsteadiness of Grace's step as they
returned to the house nor the trem-
bling notes in her voice when she
spoke.

her through and through. He was a

Sunday School Lesson For March "a

iSeeS, were deeply interested in the
teaching of Jesus, with his large and
humane views of life, and they were
eager to learn from him the way of
life. ''They said unto his disciples"
Jesus had read their thoughts in con-
nection with the cure of the paralytic
in a way that made these Pharisees
and scribes hesitate to meet him open
ly in argument. Their question was a
yelled criticism of his methods, and
Jesus at once answered it. mo need of
the physician" In quoting this popular
proverb Jesus practically announced
himself as a spiritual physician whose
business was not with they that are
WHOLE at least in their own estimation,
like the Pharisees, but with ''they that
are SICK" like the sinners who were fol-
lowing him. Matthew here adds a quo
tation from Hos. vi, 6. Sin is here re-
garded as a disease. Compare Isa- /, 5;
lii, 8. Jesus then definitely declared
that he ''came to CALI the sin sick Ito
repentance" and healing.
Verses 1S-22.-A conference on duty.
The feast in the home of Matthew
was doubtless the occasion for a dis
cussion on the subject of fasting. The
law required that fasting should be
practiced once a year, on the day of
atonement Gev. xvi, 29-34), but an ex-
cess of zeal induced the Pharisees to
practice it twice every week. Compare
Luke xviii, r. 1.-THE disciples of
John" were also scrupulous in the mat
ter of fasting, in harmony with the
stern and ascetic spirit of their teach
err. 'Thy disciples fast not" 1t was
urged as an objection that Jesus did
not inculcate this religious practice.
Children of the bride chamber
These were the companions of the
bridegroom who assisted him in bring
ing the bride to his house. 1t was q
time of joyous festivity and not of
sorrowful fasting. 1.-THE days will

expressed In forms that are appropri-
ate to it, else there will be inconsfst-

scented the servant in the family, while

man who took few chances in life, but
he would have wagered that Grace
O'Rourke loved him at that moment
despite her cool rejection of his suit.
Hawthorne led her to Uhl, who was
waiting to claim his dance, and them
went up to the smoking room. Long
he sat and smoked in silence, when
suddenly he realized that the dressing
rooms We're filling up with guests pre-
pairing to go home. The dance was
over. A man suggested that he smeIled
smoke but the idea was laughed down.

Grace's partner. And the listeners all
laughed in reply.
Hawthorne slipped on his light over
coat and sauntered toward the closed
door that led into the hall. He opened
it upon a curling cloud of smoke. AT
the same instant screams came from
all directions Men and women were in
pandemonium. Uhl was the first man
downstairs, his one idea being self
preservation, but above the roar OF
screams Julian Hawthorne's voice rang
out clear and loud.

Grace gave his arm a loving little
hug, which meant more to the man
than all the words she could have ut
tered. Close to each other they de-
scended the dark stairs which led
through the servants quarters. The

reached the back door. Hawthorne
turned and held Grace close for mo

Sorrows of Werther.
Werther had love for Charlotte
Such as words could never utter.
Would you know how first he met her7
She was cutting bread and butter.
Charlotte was a married lady,
And moral man was Werther
And for all the wealth of Indies
Would do nothing for to hurt her.
So he sighed and pinned and ogled,
And his passion boiled and dubbed
Till he blew his silly brains out
And no more was by 1t troubled

Borne before her on a shutter,
Like a well conducted person,
Went on cutting bread and butter.

A Recipe For Salad.

To make this condiment your poet begs:
The pounded yellow OF two hard boiled
eggs;
Two boiled potatoes passed through kitch-

Smoothness and softness to the salad
give:
Let onion atoms Turk within the bowl
And. half suspected, animate the whole.
OF mordent mustard add a single spoon;
Distrust the condiment that bites soon.
But deem it not, than man of herbs, a
fault
To add double quantity of salt;
Four times the spoon with oil from Lucca
crown
And twice with vinegar procured from
town,
And lastly DER the favored compound toss
A magic soupcon of anchovy sauce.
Oh, green and glorious. Oh, herbaceous
treat,
'Twould tempt a dying anchorite to eat.

And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl.
