didn't think the room elegant.

Miss George Woodthorpe went back

FABLE THAT CARRIES MORAL
Comparison of Lusty Falsehood With
Certain Class of Truths lie
Worth Consideration.

A fox that was caught in a farmers
hen coop concluded that prevarication
might save him. In response to the
farmers query as to what he meant
by stealing chickens, the fox said: Il
never stole chickens in my life. I'm a
vegetarian"
what were you doing in my hen
coop?"
81 merely stopped her to talk about
the war from a perfectly neutral stand
point"
But how about that dead and half
eaten chicken? Perhaps you know
nothing about that?"
But | do, though" said the fox. "a
mink did that. He ran away at your
approach. l would have left, too. but
the smell of fresh blood made me sick
and faint"
When the farmer regained con.
seriousness the fox was gone and SO
was another fat hen.
Moral: An athletic %falsehood is bet
ter than a kindergarten truth.

German Soldier Writes.

Rotterdam, Oct. S.-Much of the
news of the war gets into the German
press in the form of letters which Of
ficers and privates at the front send
to their families. Written by men
who describe what they actually see
and feel, some strange mixtures of
sensations experienced and actually
encountered result-documents OF
strong appeal and wide human inter

Increase in Demand
for Horses
fcontInued from Page ene.l

Our own army furnishes desirable
market for well bred horses, there be-
ing under the remount systeme at
least 5000 horses required annually to
supply both the army and the national
guard. There are now about 10000
horses in our regular army on peace
basis. In war. many more would be
required before the first engagement
There is. therefore, steady market
for good horses independent OF Euro
pean demand. Even the invasion of
motor power which has reduced the
number of horses on our streets has
not influenced this demand. In fact.
the price Of horses has advanced along
with other commodities during recent
years.

REVIVAL IS
CONTINUED

There Is nothing of a sensational
character whatever in connection with
the Christian church revival, yet splen-
did audiences gather for each service.
The program is OF simple arrange
ment, consisting of songs that every
body sings, prayers, Bible readings
and sermon. One OF the most de-
llghtful features is the children's
chorus. Mrs. Plot, the musical direc-
tor of the church, has given special
attention to the children's work The
evangelist remarked yesterday that he
had never seen a chorus that would
compare with this one.
What doth the Lord require of thee
/ but to do justly. and to love mercy.
and to walk humbly with God. Micah.
1878.
The foregoing passage of scripture
was the text last evening. This
text" said Mr.. Marshall, "is self ar
ranged and furnishes a complete pro-
gram for the highest life en- earth. To
do justly with God and man, stands
first in the demands of our religion.
This is the best and easiest way to.
live. This constitutes the righteous
life. Righteousness drives out all fear
and exalts the lives of men and ma.
tions. Sin makes towards before God
and man. The lie in word or life all
avs weakens and destroys. The girdle
OF truth gives strength and power.
ITO love mercy is the one true sign
OF a great soul that is always ready
to forgive the offenses of others and
to look with tenderest sympathy upon
the faults. weaknesses and failures of
our humanity.
ITO walk humbly with God is the
lie that can never fail. This means
the truest and best life for man. Those
who strive to walk with God often
stumble and fall, but the loving, merci-
full, forgiving Father is ready to for
give and lead ms on, il in humility we
viii try to walk with Him.
