She has the talent for adventure, ,' someone said to me the other day in describing a woman. I should like to meet her, shouldn't you?
 It is a great talent, that talent for adventure. It may not be so readily convertible into money as some other talents, but what do we most want money for except to buy happiness, and this talent for adventure can be coined directly into happiness without being passed through the gross me- dium of money.
 Of course you know what I mean by the talent for adventure-the gift of finding adventures not only in the out-of-the-way situation, not only in travel or in danger, but in everyday life.
 Nothing Happened to Him While She
 Was Away.
 Nathaniel Hawthorne once wrote to his wife:
 Nothing at all has happened to me since I left you. It puzzles me to conceive how to meet with so many more events than I. You will have a volume to tell me when we meet, and you will pour your beloved voice into my ears in a long stream at length your life been?' and then will stupid l your life been? and then will stpid I look back upon what l call my life for three or four days past, and be- hold, a blank!
 It is evident from this and the rest . of the letter that Hawthorne not only soved his wife dearly, but was very dependent upon her. He had a great and wonderful talent but he didn't have the talent for adventure which she so evidently possessed, and he needed her to give flavor to his life.
 They Give Flavor to Our Lives. That is just what they do, the peo- nIe with the talent for adventure, they give flavor not only to their own lives

In the feature covering a journey through the Panama Canal to the Cal ifornia .expositions to be presented by Lyman H. Howe at the Parsons thea ter tonight and tomorrow matinee and night, there are many architectural gems that are the realization of art ists' dreams, such as the tower of Jewels, and the triumphal arches and beautiful statuary that adorn the courts at the San Francisco exposi- tion. To see Howe's reproduction of the other exposition at San Diego is as though, by the wave of a magic wand, you left behind the hum and rush and roar of the twentieth cen tury and found yourself back in a city of ancient or mediaeval Spain. The Spanish atmosphere" has been car ried out to the finest detail. Howes films of both expositions are the most complete, striking and interesting ever obtained within the confines of the ex- position.

Lesson Text, Judges 7;1-s; 1928.
The story of the rout of the Mid
lanites by Gideon and his three hun
dred men is told in this chapter in
remarkably graphic minuteness, and
with unusual attention to detail. 1t Is
told in a manner that fastens 1t In
the mind as one Of the outstanding
events in he judicial era of lsraefs
history. The "Midianites and Amalek-
tes and all the children Of the east,
they who had suffered severely at
the hands OF Moses, the nomads Of
the desert that stretched between the
Jordan and the Euphrates, had over
run the land Of Palestine for the last
seven years Themselves not pro-
ducers of wealth, they made a prac-
tice Of living off the fruits of other
peoples toll. Wise in their gener-
er had titled his land and gathered
his crops; then after harvest they
swooped down in immense hordes,
with their wives, their children, and
their camels to gather in these har-
vests and go back home to feast on
their stolen provisions. In response
to IsiAers cry for help, God had
commissioned Gideon, son of Joash,
Of the tribe of Manasseh, to raise
an army and eXpel the invaders from
the land 1t was his business to
give them such n punishment that

OF overcoming their oppressors.
A Process of Elimination.
After those who were afraid were
allowed to depart, the remaining
force was again reduced by the test
OF drinking at the brook, whore those
who deliberately slaked their thirst
were chosen in preference to those
who got down on their knees to
drink. Three hundred men, less than
one per cent of his original army
were thus set apart to be the instru-
ment OF Israels deliverance For
this insignificant body OF men to
overcome the hosts of indian, hike
grasshoppers for multitude" could
not be ascribed TO anything else but
the help OF Jehovah. To strengthen
his faith, Gideon and his servant
were permitted TO overhear one Mid
ianite tell another his dream about
the barley cake and the prophetic
forecast of indians defeat. Yet,
with all his faith, 1t was not the part
of Gideon to neglect the exercise
of military strategy. BY the division
of his little force, he made night
attack simultaneously from three
different directions and, with the
sudden light, the blare of trumpets
and the shouting, threw the enemy
into a panic. So great was the rout
and confusion that the frightened In
vaders slew each other by mistake.
The victory was complete as it was,
but the hosts of Israel arose and
clased the panic-striken robbers out
of the land, even capturing some of
the nomad chiefs on the other side
Of Jordan.
Men of the Hour.

It was "the sword Of the Lord and

was ascribed While the Lord is- the
only real power for deliverance, no

put our own shoulder to the wheel.

extra work, preparation, examining
papers, etc.
One form of work that falls heavily
on the teachers and aids materially
in adding to their hours of labor is
the getting up of school entertain
ments. These are for the purpose of
raising money for things not provid-
ed by the board and doubt if there
are many schools that do not raise
from $3.50 to $500 every year in this
way.
Besides taking the time and energy
of the pupils from the study of the
fundamentals that they so bitterly
need, there is no more exhausting,
nerve racking work for the teachers
than this. 1t usually requires a
month to prepare, present and re-
cover from one of this species of
brainstorms. All teachers will testify
to the truth of this.
A woman friend said of these
school shows: when in school as a
pupil my mother never allowed me
to take part in these orgies as she
called them. Each time was drawn
for service she would go or write to
the principal that she was keeping
me in school to study and not to
earn money for equipment she was
paying taxes to help provide"
Another point l would mention is |
that each room has seats for 48 pu-
pills and no teacher is supposed to |
have more than that number of pu-
pills in her care, but in a great many
rooms more are crowded in, thus |
overburdening the teachers, which OF |
necessity reacts with i'll effects on the |

this valley is amply illustrated in the
dry farm of A. NJ Gray, who has grown
the finest grain and hay to be seen any

played in Nevada this year was pulled
off at Elko last Sunday, between the

where they enjoyed a plunge in the
large swimming pool.
The Winnemucca boys all have pro
found respect for Mr.. Manning as
pitcher, and say he is certainly there
with the goods - If his team had
been able to get around the bases they
might have won the game. But Moy,
behind the bat for Winnemucca had his
peg working right. Five Elko base
runners walked off the field as a result
of the backstop's accurate throwing,
and three more of them turned around
and beat it back after halfway stealing
a base.
