Blair was trying to conceal under the

at all. OF course I haven't seen her
other suitors that she has mentioned
just offhand. But don't mind tell

and whispering, of course this isn't
for Margie to know, but there Is quite
q little bank account coming from
grandma to Margie on her wedding
day If she marries the right one.
Don't you tell her. Margie has al

Blair for the last ten minutes had
heard muffled calls from Margie call

at the first pause.
''Margie is calling you" he said.
smiling, but apparently Margie had
grown impatient. for she appeared
now at the door of the dining room.
She was very pretty in her dainty
evening dress, and scarf thrown
over her shoulders added to the
piquancy of the picture.
Grandma's quick eyes had caught
sight of the scarf and that reminded
her of her neglected duty.
"Margie," she said aloud, II am
awfully sorry I didn't come back to
hook you up. but got listening to
Blair talk and I couldn't pull myself
away. Now I am sure you don't

"Blair and have got real we'll &C.

winked over grandma's head at
Margery.
They all went into the drawing
room and Blair slipped the candy
into Margery's hands. Grandma
did not sit down. She smiled know

SPEAKS upon THE .
PERIOD OF PEACE
EVANGELIST BUTTERFIELD
TALKS OF THE MILLENNIUM
At TENT MEETING.

Interest Is growing at the Butter
field meetings. Sunday evening large
crowd was out. The big tent was full
and many were comfortably placed on
seats at the outer edge OF the tent.
The subject was THE Millennium.
The term Is not found in the bible, but
is used to designate the Thousand
year period spoken of in Rev. 20:2-o,
during which time Satan is bound.
Evangelist Butterfield teaches the
reign of peace" so popularity
preached today, is not to take place
on this earth. 1t is in heaven that the
saints will reign with Christ one thou
sand years, for Rev. 20:2-6 tells us
that those who reign with Christ one
thousand years are those who have
followed the teachings Of Gods word
instead Of the teachings OF men and
those who have had part In the 1lrst
resurrection. ,...-.
The second coming of Christ and the
resurrection of the righteous dead,
mark the beginning Of the one thou
sand years. said the preacher.
Should the period of the millennium
rather the reign Of peace, take place
on this earth. said the evangelist, 1T
would prove the plan Of the gospel OF
salvation, failure. 1t would show
partially to those living at that time
over those who have been striving
against the wiles of Satan all these
thousands Of years since the doWntall
OF man. .. -
We cannot expect to do more than
the prophets, apostles and Jesus Cnrist
himself In converting the world. A
few from each nation and each period
Of time shall be saved. But Christ says
times shall wax worse and worse.
The subject tonight win be the
.War Cloud Hanging Over Nations.
What will be the outcome OF capital
and labor.
Satan, said the speaker, is bound
here on this earth. He is here alone
on this desolate earth, man and all
things else have been destroyed. The
righteous dead and the righteous liv-
Ing are in heaven with Christ and by
circumstances he is bound one thou
sand years.
At he end Of this period Satan Is
~loosed for a little season. Rev. 2O:7.
The wicked dead are raised for to re
ceiye their just dues. Christ with the
new Jerusalem and the saints In 1t
descends to this earth on the Mount OF
Oiivet, Satan goes about arousing the
wicked men of war to last great
conflict against Christ, the righteous
and the holy city. AS they surround
the city flre Is rained down from heav-
en- and destroys the wicked, cleanses
this old earth and it blooms forth
again an Eden for those who have
been, redeemed and they shall walk up.

she put out her hand and shook his

ments and grandma grandma OF
the old fashioned variety-was max.
ing her first visit from the west.
Grandma's visit made it necessary
for Margery, her twenty-year-old
granddaughter, to move into the mu'
sic room, where, with a music cabinet
that could be turned into a dressing
table and lounge that not only serv-
ed as bed by night, but as De.
pository for Margery's belongings all
the time, and a place behind the
piano for Margery's shoes, Margery
managed
There were portieres between the
music room and the drawing room,
and these could be drawn till Mar
gerry rose in the morning, and, OF
course, Margery never went to bed
at night until the last companion OF
her good spirits had gone to bed or
left the apartment. But grandma was
new in the ways of apartment dwell
ers and, although she was much In.
pressed by the size of the check
that her son had to make out for the
landlord every month, by the liveried
bellboys, the day and night elevators
and the brass and colored glass en-
trance which she had to pass to
reach her sons apartment, still It
didn't seem to her as though really
nice folks would sleep on the "parlor
sofy." But she was willing to learn.
It was eight-thirty o'clock one
evening and grandma and Mar
gerry we're alone in the apartment
The maid of all works had gone
out and Margerys father and moth
err had gone to the theater. Mar
gerry was expecting call from Blair
Collins at a. quarter of nine 1t
didn't seem to grandma as though
really nice folks would make such
late calls, but Margery had assured
grandma that Blair was one of the
old Knickerbocker elite, and this
sounded good enough for grandma.
Margery had withdrawn to her
music room boudoir. The curtains
we're closed, and Margery was plan
ming fifteen minutes seance with
her music cabinet dressing table,
when the bell rang. Margery knew
by the way it rang that it was Blair.
"see here, grandma" said Mar
gerry, recklessly pinning up here hair
on which she had planned to devote
a good ten minutes more, that is
Blair, sutton of mine" Margaret
didn't stop to explain to grandma
that any man friend in her language
was "suitor." HE just couldn't
keep away,~ Margery went on, 80
he got here a quarter of an hour
early, worse luck, and I am not half
dressed. I am not buttoned up or
Margery was fumbling
behind the piano in search Of the
proper pair of slippers and grandma
couldn't hear her very distinctly.
What you have got to do, granny,
is to open the door for Blair. Use
your head, granny, and you will save
my young life, truly. will love you
forever If you do. Just tell him who
you are and then lead him gently but
firmly into the dining room. Mind
you, the dining room and then come
back to me after you have made him
feel at home and do my dress up. BY

oped. Last year many OF them We're
laying hens that got in their work at
the start, but fell off in their yield later
in the year. The yield is gradually IN
creasing day by day and now they are
producing a yield of 80 l3 per cent,
with prospects of "A still greater in
crease in the near future. The English
pen of Single Comb White Leghorns
has quite lead over the others. They
continue to be more active than the
other pens and are consuming quite a
deal more food than the other Mediter-
ranoan varieties. These hens differ
from the American Leghorns in the
fact that they have larger combs, tails
are so well spread and are carried high
er They are an interesting lot of birds,
however, and seem to possess the abili-
ty TO lay. Their eggs are not OF uni

lean strains Of Leghorns. The hundred
hens in the variety feed contest are
laying many more eggs than their sis
ters on the outside that are being fed

SO we would say that if you want eggs
in cold weather do not hesitate to feed
literally with a good variety. If you
want a few pullets 10 lay in the early
tall before the old hens are through

the next laying contest and have them
ready to lay right from the start, better
hatch some chicks right now or early
