Heaven, shall so come in like manner
as we beheld Him going into Heaven"
He said in part:
This doctrine has been brought in
to disrepute by the fanatics who have
often set definite dates for the second
coming of Christ But when you hear
of any one setting such a date you
may be sure that he never got it from
Gods Word.
Paul taught this great truth, even
to unsaved people, to persuade them
to turn from their idols and seek the
true and the living God.
Every great soul winner has had
this doctrine constantly before them

Mr. Bush said in part:
II have come down here simply to

man of whom the world though he
was no account, but Jesus, loking at
him, saw possibilities in him, so he
anointed his eyes and sent him to wash

cause of this some in this city will re-

SMARTEN UP THE SUNSHADE
Good to Remember, as They VIII
Probably Be Needed for Some
Time to Come.

Is it possible that the shape of the
umbrella is changing perceptibly after
so many years during which it has
gone its tranquil way? The new form
is not so fiat. and has rather more of
the droop of the genuine mushroom.
Obviously they are inspired by the RI
diculous cloche and pagoda outlines
assumed by very mundane parasols
this season, yet they are themselves
not in the least exaggerated; but by
way of being an agreeable novelty.
With little trouble or expense a par
asol may be wonderfully smartened
up, or even one of last years may be
brought up to date. Making a gauging
from four to eight inches deep Of chif-
fon or the finest soft silk or satin OF
the exact shade of the parasol or If
a shade paler. Sew this on to the in
side edge. allowing a little of the
gauging to come below the edge.
Along the center of the chiffon may be
sewn a narrow silk cord decorated at
intervals with tiny colored satin roses
the effect is very pretty when pink
roses are used ON the black gauging
of satin parasol. Either lace OF
fringe may be similarly used.

TOUCH OF GREEN OR YELLOW
Either Color Is Popular With Those
Who Want just Touch 70 Re-
Ieve Somberness.

Have you noticed how many Of
those who want a note of color with
their navy blue and white and black
and white effects, have chosen yellow
or green?
Just now, perhaps. any other choice
would seem a little banal One girl
who was wearing a modish dark blue
charmeuse had the dark blue feather,
hazily swirling around her hat Of
finest block pedal straw, punctuated
every here and there with roses or
vivid orange. 1t sounds startling. but
the effect was elegant.
Another girl gowned also in dark
blue charmeuse, wore a hat of straw
Of the same shade, around which we're
beautifully arranged feathers of a
lovely Jade green. It is Just that par
ticular green that one seems to want
with the dark blue frock Just now.
The amber necklace and the Jade
necklace are the color notes one sees
and admires frequently.

sIeepIessness Cures.
Cassoday.

If you are troubled with sleepless.
ness, try one of the following simple
remedies before going to doctor with
the plea that he give you something
to make you sleep:
Drink glass of warm water before
going to bed instead of the usual glass
of cold water. Sip 1t slowly, and if pos
sibls eat small biscuit or cracker
with it.
Avoid all mental exercise for at least
half an hour before retiring; allow the
brain to rest and become calm before
you attempt to sleep.
Stand before an open window and
breathe deeply, inhaling through the
mouth and exhaling through the nose:
then lie down and continue doing this
until sleep overtakes you.
Keep the eyeballs looking down, or
roll them from one side to the other,
counting each time they move.
This is the principle by which we
are told to count sheep leaping over a
log. The sound of water dropping
slowly into pan or the ticking of
clock will occupy and quiet the brain.
and looking steadily at one object or
a point of light will bring the blessing
of sleep to weary. wakeful eyes.

PAwNsHoPs FOR AUTOS.

pawnshop of Paris, is taking thought
for those of its patrons who may be
automobiles or aviators. It's au-
thorities are now negotiating for the
acquisition of an immense garage,
capable of holding 1000 cars, so that
people who pawn their automobiles
may be able to leave them there and
thus avoid the present expense of at
least six francs a day which pawn
ing an automobile has hitherto
meant. Space will also be provided
for aeroplanes.-New York Sun.

BRENT INHERITANCE
Case Made Lawyer Famous and
Happy.

thoughtfully. cat any rate. / am sure
that It was the foundation Of my for

happiness than any case have under
taken You see, young Mrs. Brent
deserved the inheritance. If ever any
woman deserved one. She had actual

man of him--but let me tell the
story in my own way.
Theodore Brent was one Of those
pompous, self.sufilcient. heartless, and
withal scrupulously honest men whom
Massachusetts, used to turn out In the
middle of the last century--a sort OF
! transplanted survival Of the John Bull
type. I believe 1t is still fiourishing
in the old country. He had two sons.
Ralph and Jack. Ralph inherited his
fathers business instincts and was
slated for succession to the company
after the fathers death. Jack was a
spendthrift, wild young fellow. who
was dismissed from Harvard, drank,
gambled, and broke his fathers heart
what there was of 1t. Withal, he
had done nothing worthy of being dis
inherited However, his father sent
him west for FIVE years to make man
of himself, failing success in which
operation the money was to go entire
ly to the elder brother.
when Jack Brent wrote home, a
couple of years later that he was mar
ried to an actress, the father, with the
old prejudice against the stage, wrote
back informing his younger son that
he had cut him out of his will for good
and all. He politely invited him to
go to the devil and told him never to
show his face in the east again.
Ralph was not quite so quiet as his
father imagined In fact, where Jack
was open-hearted and open-handed,
Ralph was close-fsted and secretive.
and that was mainly the difference
between them Jack had never had a
chance. When old age softened the
old mans acerbity somewhat Ralph
began to initiate him into the pleas
ures of life. Among other things. he
inspired him with passion for motor

but we lawyers are used to these
strange streaks in human nature.
"They were on an automobile tour
when the accident occurred. The car
ran into a ditch somewhere along the
boundary between two states of the
middle west, and both men were killed.
Witnesses proved that the father died
instantly, while Ralph Brent lived just
ten minutes longer than his father.
"That was where | came into the
story. For the will was so drawn
that If the father died first all the
property-valued at about six millions
went to the son and his heirs. AS
there were no heirs this meant that
some distant relatives would inherit
it. If the elder son died first the will
became null and void, and the prop
