Farms for Children.

Perhaps the smallest farms In the
world, each four by eight feet, have
been devised by Mrs. Henry Parsons
for the International Children's School
Farm league. and demonstrated in
New York. Each child becomes owner
of his diminutive farm, in which he
works, grows and harvests seven diff
ferent kinds Of vegetables, and these
are borne by him in triumph to his
family. About each farm is an 1S-inch
path, which ne keeps in order; under
his instructor it becomes a tiny OBJ

CHAPTER 1T.
Midsummer Madness.


The driver Of the taxicab proved
to be a sound sport.
Five minutes Of luck, aided by
/ nerve, brought the two machines
somewhat nearer together. The mo-
tor-car gained in the open spaces, the
| taXicab caught up when it came to
weaving it's way in and out and dodg-
ing the trolleys. At the frequent mo-
ments when he appeared to be losing
the car, Hambleton reelected that he
had it's number. which might lead to
something. At the Waldorf the car
slowed up, and the cab came within a
few yards. Hambleton made up his
mind at that instant that he had been
mistaken in his supposition of trouble
threatening the lady. and looked mo-
mently to see her step from the car
into the custody Of those starched and
lacquered menials who guard the por-
tails Of fashionable hotels
But it was so. A signal was inter
changed between the occupants of the
car and some watcher in the door
way, and the car sped on. Hambie-
ton, watching steadily, wondered.
"If she is being kidnapped why
doesn't she make somebody hear?
Plenty of chance. They couldn't have
killed her-that isn't done"
And yet his heart smote him as he
remembered the terror and distress
written on that countenance and the
cry for help.
Something was the matter" mem
ory insisted There they go west;

The car numbered on, the cab half
block, often more, in the rear, through
endless regions Of small shops and
offices huddled together above narrow
sidewalks, through narrow and wind
ing streets paved with cobblestones
and iammed with cars and trucks,
squeezing past curbs where dirty
children sat playing within a few
inches of death-dealing wheels. Ham
bleton wondered what kept them from
being killed by hundreds daily, but
the wonder was Immediately forgot

The Family Altar

From the Watchman.
 The Family Altar. when deliberately and devoutely observed, is beautiful and spiritual elevating practice. Parents and children accustomed to 1t have a safeguarding element in their lives which those not accustomed to 1t lack and never know how much they have lost It's spiritual influence Is subtle and pervading and many a man owes his escape from ruinous and disgraceful sin to the tone of mind induced by the habitual obserY- ance of daily family prayer. As to tho asserted loss of spiritual life supposed to be shown by the decay of the Family Altar, 1t may be said that too often family prayers were merely formal. As far as those cases are concerned their cessation is no loss Under the conditions of today the spiritual life of many families with out the Family Altar is higher than that of others which formerly and formally observed it Nevertheless, it remains true that the Family Altar Is great and blessed privilege, and every Christian family which does not maintain daily devotions when all the members are ex- pected to be present suffers q loss which, although perhaps unrecognized Is terri- bly real, and can never be made good by any other form of Christian activity or devotion

Legend of St. Dymphna

From the June Atlantic
 Some thirteen hundred years ago. so runs the tale. the beautiful daughter of a heather king of Ireland fled from her fathers court and. crossing the seas, took refuge at Gheel. Dymphna had been con verted to Christianity by the teaching of a monk named Gerebern. and 1t was un- der his protec ction that she sought deliv- erance from her unnatural father who strove to force upon her an incestuous union. The infuriated king followed the fugitives and discovered their retreat Gercbern was cruelty put to death by the savage soldiery. and the king himself, regardless of his daughters pleading for mercy. seized her long hair. and with one blow cut off her head: then without wait ing to give his victims burial. he returned to Ireland. After time, 1t began to be rumored that strange miracles of healing from sickness and disease were wrought on the scene of this horrible crime; and curiously enough. it was those afflicted mentally who derived especial benefit The spot came to be considered holy ground and soon q church was built. and dedicated to St. Dymphna. within which the bones of the martyrs were laid to rest in a vault prepared for their reception beneath the high altar.

AMERICAN FRONTIER MAY
 AGAIN BE SCENE OF BATTLE

Juarez, Mexico. June 14.-The Ameri- can frontier may again be the scene of fighting between the Mexican federals and the revolutionlsts. Train loads of rebels arrived here today from casas Grandes and other points on the Mexican North western railroad practically evacuating the entire railroad to the government troops, about 4ooo of whom, under Gen. Jose de la Luz Blanco. have formed q cordon just 51 miles west of the rebel zone. Tine arrival of available rebels here is accepted, as Juarez garrison will be maintained at any cost by the rebels as well as the territory between here and Chihuahua on the Mexican Central railroad
 In the event that the rebels north of Chihuahua make their last stand here 1t is considered probable that the fed erals may decide not to assault the town but lay siege to 1t and secure supplies from the south.
 Two machine guns and two mortars ar rived today to be used in the defense of Juarez mounted on trucks.
