peterborough type had been thrown
open to visitors. Her captain stood
at the gangway receiving his guests,
pride and delight In his magnificent
vessel shining in every lineament
Suddenly his gaze concentrated upon
an approaching figure. His face grew
pale to the lips; he shook in every
fiber. Controlling his terror by a
mighty effort, he turned hastily to his
executive officer.
Clear for action, Mr.. Bloodlet," he
cried. BEAT to quarters. Load with
grape. Order the marines to concen-
trate behind me, prepared to repel
boarders."
AYE, aye, SIR" responded the off,
Ger promptly, although thoroughly be-
wildered.

face and he regained his composure

Say, capn, that's what you seem

Recipe for Making Jokes.

There is nothing any easier than
writing jokes. Simply jot down your
ideas for the jokes, say two or three
hundred, on a. slip Of paper; then seat
yourself before a typewriter. Feed
blank paper into the typewriter and
inject the ideas through your finger
tips into the keys, Continue to do
this until all of the ideas on the slip
are exhausted, then gather up the
Jokes, which have piled themselves
into heap on the opposite side of the
typewriter, send them to editors and
receive your checks. A couple OF
hours day spent In this manner
should bring you in revenue enough
to support wife and nine children,
run a six-cylinder touring car and buy
bonbons for a soul-mate. Try it.

plans to Live as Savage.

To prove that the people of the
twentieth century need not be slaves
to civilized convention, Joseph
Knowles, a Boston painter of outdoor
life, plans to plunge into the wilder
ness of northern Maine this month
without clothing, food, matches, fire
arms or ammunition.
He promises to stay there until Oc-
tober /, to subsist on fish, game, ber-
rles and wild vegetables and to come
out fully clothed. He will live so or
60 miles away from any settlement,
and will accept no help from the out
side world
Knowles will make his own fire by
friction; will build log cabin from
material he finds in the woods, and
will make traps out of what he dis
covers in the practically unexplored
northern part Of the Pine Tree state.

He died to redeem us so that we again
might live,
How precious is His everlasting
love.
He's ready to receive you, if you only
now will come;
On His blessed word depend and
put your trust.
He's a dear loving Savior, and He'll
turn away not one,
And we love Him now because He
first loved us.

A large number Of people went to
Pilgrim Baptist Church last Sunday

able to appear in St. Paul. One Of

filled with people to hear her but
they also were disappointed. The
proper arrangements had not been
made in either case and Mrs. Terrin
is not to be blamed.
