AS TOLD BY AUNT GERTTE.

At bed time. when il was the hour
for the old crone and her daughter
10 retire, the daughter went TO the
door To bar it, Pinkel was just out
side watching. He cunningly placed
bit Of wood between the door and
the wall SO that il would not shut.
The girl tried and tried and tried. But
she could not succeed, so she finally
went 10 bed, leaving the door I'M
locked
AS soon as the house was as still as
a house, and Pinkel could see that the
two women slept, he crept. cautiously,
into the room where the goat lay be-
fore the hearth,
Every step ne took, he expected the
old crone 10 wake and kill him.
Oh the bells on the goats horns.
How could they be kept still? Won
dered Pinkel.
He had some cotton in his pockets
He took IL out and stuffed each bell
full OF cotton. Then ne walked the
goat mp. softly. and led it out OF the
unbar-ed door TO the lake. where the
boat stood.
He had hardly got away from the
shore when the old crone woke and
saw that the goat was missing.
She went down 10 the edge OF the
lake and saw the goat in the boat FAR
out,
lis that you. Pinkel?" she called,
loudly and angrily.
Yes. my dear mother" said Pinkel
in a soft. laughing voice.
Have you stolen my golden goat ?"
she cried. trying 10 wade out 10 the

We are naturally praying beings. Our
hearts are conscious of the great and
benevolent, but unsen, power by
which we are environed, and we cry
out TO God as naturally as a baby
cries in the night. These cries are
always heard and answered by the
loving Father. Sometimes our prayers
are not very clearly defined in our
own minds, We may scarcely under
stand to what or 70 whom our hearts
cry but all such real longing is true
prayer and the answer always comes.
Jesus knew that prayer never fails
of an answer and he practiced this
knowledgs. He depended upon God
and was never disappointed, and from
his divine knowledge and human eXpe-
rience he taught his followers with
great assurance that their prayers TO
the heavenly Father would be answer
ed. He said. ASK, and 1t shall be
given you; seek, and We shall find;
knock. and it shall be opened unto
you"
". II is Our Privilege and Duty
to Call on God. We are commanded
to pray, it is therefore our duty; II
is our privilege 10 pray and 1t is there
fore our Joy. When we call upon
God in the time of need he always
hears us, and more, he always answers
US. PRAYING breath IS never spent in
vafa. Sometimes we do not get the
exact thing we ask for, but we never
fail TO get that or something better.
Things we ask for in our folly, or
inexperience, when we ask in good
faith. God never let's us have, but ne
never fails TO satisfy the craving which
inspired the petition and the need
which we are conscious Of is always
supplied 1t is good to form the hab-
it of prayer, 10 refer everything 10
Cod. TO ask him for our every ned:
We should also pray for others and
thus set in motion great and benevo-
lent law of God which is never OPP
erative except when started by prayer.

NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-Richard
Harding Davis is more of a humorist
than anybody ever thought he was.
The war correspondent and novelist
is author OF a play. who's Who?" in
which William Collier is TO appear
shortly at the Criterion theater. In
an electric sign which now blazes
nightly across the front OF the thea
ter, the names OF Collier and Harding
appear in equally large Letters.
Ihls is said TO haven due TO a mis-
understanding on the electricians
part. Be that as il may, Harding 5
full monaker stretches and shines for
block or so along Broadway And
this is the letter he wrote Charles
Frohman, producer Of the show, after
he had seen the sign:
Some writers have their names
sent 10 the senate by Mr.. Wilson and
they become ambassadors. Other
writer's have their names sent by Mr.
Frohman to his electrician, and they
become electric signs and add TO the
brilliancy of Broadway. Without wish
ing TO infringe on the copyrights of
Mr.. George NJ Cohan, I would like to
say that 1 would rather be an electric
bulb on Broadway than the ambassa-
dor to Cathay.
"All this means that have Just seen
on the Criterion theater the electric
sign for William Collier in Who's
Who
when. I say that 1 have just seen
it, I mean that, for the last eight hturs
have been standing in the middle OF
Broadway, staring at it and impeding
traffic. 1 was hit by trolley cars four
times, by automobiles II times, by
traffic cops twice. But when I told
the latter l was the man whose name
from 44th to 45th st. was modestly
Illuminating Broadway they were
apologize.
George AIDE Better.
But for you making me famous
will prove expensive. Mine is a name
undistinguished and ridiculously long.
You better would have backed John
Fox or George AIDE. Their names
lend themselves to electric lights. They
are both distinguished and short. But
if the calculations Of myself and Mr.
Collier are correct, my name, in up
keep, running expenses and wear and
tear, threatens to cOSe you a fortune.
I'VE have been at it all evening with
pads and pencils. In my name are 19
letters Each letter foot and half
high averages Is bulbs-in all, 2S5
bulbs. Eachm bulb costs one cent an
hour, and each night it burns six
hours. Multiply six cents by 2S5 and
you get $17.10 a night. If the play
fails and runs only one night you do
not greatly lose. But suppose the
face should succeed?
MIR. Collier points out that he play
The Dictator over 1000 nights. And,
being entirely unprejudiced, we agree
that Who's Who?' will run as long.
So your idea Of putting the name Of
the author in electric lights stands to
cost you $1,000. Naturally you ask
yourself, rs is worth while, in order
TO advertise Davis, TO risk SIT, DOOR
"Unselfishly l reply 1t is

wants me to walk down 10 the corner
with him and see if the sign is still
there"

been placed. 1t was the largest blast
ever used on the canal and was set
off by electricity.
The slide. which occurred last De-
Cember, was on the Pacific end of the
canal, just south of Gold Hi. II was
nearly 40 feet deep, 400 feet long and
over leo feet in width. Part of it was
removed by workmen before the dy-
Mantle was placed in position.
Colonel GOethals made final inspec-
ton of the arrangements before the
wires arranged as a means of eXplod-

After the explosion fourteen vessels
of the Atlantic dredging fleet which

for the scene to complete the job of
cleaning out the canal bed. The en-
gineers figure that considerable
dredging win be necessary at the
point where the dixie stood.
MiraflOres Lake, on the Pacific side,
and Culebra Cut have been filling
rapidly from the inflow through the
discharge pipes.
One fear of the engineers was that
the conclusion from the mighty blast

nearby masonry. Every precautioI.
possible was taken to prevent this.
