Verse 4.-Patient waiting.
The six years of Athaliah's reign
We're marked by deeds Of cruelty and
tyranny. Baal worship was practiced
openly and lavishly in Jerusalem. All
the male members Of the royal house
OF Judah had been killed by order of
Athaliah to prevent the appearance of
any rivals to the throne. But she was
outwitted by Jehosheba, the half sister
Of AhaZiah, who rescued the little babe
Joash and kept him in hiding in q
storeroom In the temple. She was the
wife of Jehoiada, the high priest. Jo-
ash was the legitimate successor to his
father, AhaZiah. Jehosheba cared for
him like a mother, sincerely hoping
that Athaliah would be dethroned and
the lawful king come to his own. Her
hopes and expectations were shared by
her husband, the high priest. Six years
passed, yet these religious patriots did
not lose heart. The time for action
came ''in the seventh year." "Jehoiada''
was the leader Of the movement to re-
store order and insure the honor Of
Jehovah. "The rulers over hundreds"

SOME u FOR
HALLOW

If II lives where she can get small
pumpkins and autumn leaves she has
nearly all that is necessary for dccora-
tions for a Halloween party.
Make jack-o'- lanterns Of the pump
kins and place these around the rooms
IN conspicuous places. Autumn leaves
can be placed around on the walls.
With IL large needle and Irvine acorns
can be strung like beads, and these look
pretty If strung around the room in
loops between punches Of the leaves.
For refreshments, nuts, apples, pop
corn and homemade peanut talfy will
be sufficient. Here is Il good recipe for
taffy: One cupful sugar, two cupfuls
molasses, one tablespoonful vinegar,
butter size of Il hickory nut. Boil until
it will harden in cold water. just be-
fore taking from the fire add one cup
full Of shellcd peanuts. Pour in but
tered pans and put away to harden.
Candy should be about one-fourth of an
inch thick. When cold break into small
irregular pieces.
Put candy into three or four different
dishes, also the popcorn and apples.
Crack nuts and put them into different
dishes with II or w nutpicks on
each dish. Put these dishes around on
different tables in the rooms, and you
will have refreshments enough. Have
these arranged on the tables before the
guests arrive. This is q much better
and easier way than setting Il table.
Now, IL word about games, as they are
important in order to have IL successful
party. First of all. you will want Il tub
OF water for those who will duck for
apples. This alone will make a good
deal of fun.
Have Il large cloth or paper donkey
pinned on to one side Of 4 ROOM. Give
each guest a paper tail, %blindfold, turn
the person around three times and then
let him put the tail In the right place if
he can. To the person who gets the tail
i'll the right place or nearest to it give
IL prize and a BOBBY prize to the one
who gets farthest away from it.
III you have Il piano OF course that
will furnish a good deal of the enter
tainmcnt.
Another good game for children Is
called Toms alive. Take a wooden
stick about a foot long. place one end
In the stove until it burns a little and
blow out the flame. which will leave
the end glowing. Have the guests sit
tlng III a circle. Pass the stick to the
person on your right and say, "Tom's
alive Each IL must pass it along to
MIS- nelghbor, saying '"rom's alive"
until the last red spark dies out.
The II that is holding the stick
when 1t goes out must have a mustachc
painted III his face with the black cnd
OF the stick. II the same person has
the stick go out in his hand again a
beard and eyebrows may also be paint
ed on his face. There is a great deal of
fun and laughter in the game.

The island is a mountainous one, ris-
ing from the sea about midway be-
tween Cuba and Porto Rico and al
most within sight Of both. Its area is
2S,ooo square miles, or nearly hat of
South Carolina. Santo Domingo occu-
pies the northern two-thirds Of the is
land and Haiti the southern third, but
Haiti, with a population of 100000,
has double the number Of inhabitants
OF Santo Domingo. Its people also have
a French historical background and use
the French tongue, whereas Santo Do
m1ngo looks back to Spain and speaks
the Spanish language. A historian,
writing more than a year ago in the
New York Evening Post and forecast
ing then the need Of American inter-
vention, gave this interesting sketch of
the past and present of Haiti:
The Horrible Example.
The island of Haiti-by which is
meant the entire island-has frequent
~ beer held up as the best example
or bad government in our times. Strict
~ speaking, this is true. But to blame
1t entirely upon the fact that the Hal
t1ans are black men is scarcely fair.
The responsibility is to be traced back
to colonial days. Haiti was colonized
with African slaves by the French sew
eral hundred years ago, and the one
Idea OF the masters Of the island was
to make all they possibly could out of
1t regardless Of the suffering they in
hlcted upon their vorkmen.
They made it q paradise of creole
culture. A network Of fine roads linked
up the stately plantation houses with
each other. Port au Prince, the cant
TAI, was one OF the most imposing cities
OF the Caribbean, we'll laid out, solidly
Quilt. The output of the island was
probably larger than it is today. Bnt
underneath the outward we'll being and
luxury was a terrible state of human
misery and degradation.
Tho Trucking Of L'cuverture.
The French revolution came, and the
thunder shock which shook so many
quarters Of the world reused more than
echoes In faraWay Haiti. T%oussaint

that they could not defeat him they
employed t%rickery, lured him aboard n

English fleet that co-operated with the
ragged army Of Dessalines.
FROM this period begins the history
OF Haitian independence. Truth to
tell. it is anything but a pleasant his.
tory, one long succession Of revolutions
ana blood stained %dictutors, varied by
tyrants who proclaimed themselves EN-,
perors n set up fantastic nobilities
with all the trappings of European
courts.
Haiti is held by scientists to be the
richest island in natural and
fertility Of soil in the entire world,
with the exception of Java. The SINH
larlty of the two islands is striking.
Both are tropical, both have much the
same physical formation. even the eli
mates are not unlike. Java, with its
dependent islands, however. has an
area less than twice that Of Haiti, but
under Dutch rule 1t supports a popu-
lation OF 31,O0O,OOO, which is constant
~ increasing, and observers are not in
cllned to regard the Dutch system of
colonial administration as an unmiti-
gated blessing.
Some Monumental Architecture.
The truth Of the matter is that the
people of Java are mildly industrious,
where the people Of Haiti are almost
uniformly shiftless.
On the other hand, any one who is
skeptical of what these people can ac-
complish should visit the enduring
architectural monuments of the island
the marvellous fairy palace Of Sans
Souci, in the northern hills near Cape
Ila1tien, and the tremendous citadel OF
La Ferriere, on the top Of the mountain
of that name, 5000 feet high, both of
them the work of the black King Henri
Christophe, who ruled Haiti from 1911
until he committed suicide In 1919 In
order to avert assassination. 1t is true
that thousands Of lives were paid for
these remarkable buildings, just as 1t is
true that Henri's reign was one long
chronicle Of blOodshcd. But the mag

a slave and who could conceive and d.
rect the building fof such structures
strike II today as evidences Of an
enormous capacity which might have
been put to valuable uscs under better
auspices.
"Eeny, Meeny, Miny, No."
About the people Of Haiti it might
DC said that they practice vOOdooism
and are very supcrstitious, liking any
thing smacking Of the mysterious. An
Ohio physician studying the Black Re
public relates one Of his experiences
there:

New England. N. D., Feb. g.
Three boys, aged TO-, and II
years lost their lives when they
were caught under a snowslide at
Rainy Butte, eight miles south
west Of New England, in old Bill
lings County but now in what is

and Mrs. liver C. Lee. near the
East Rainy Butte. The children
we're coasting on the Butte when
the snowslide occurred. Tons of
snow let loose and swept down
the side of the butte, catching the
boys and burying them complete
ly.
The Lee boy managed to work
his hands up through the solidly
packed snow and was discovered
by his father and neighbor. who
were making a search for the
boys.
The slide occurred at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. The Lee boy
was found at $50 in the evening
after having been imprisoned for
three hours. He was slightly
bruised and nearly exhausted.He
is recovering nicely. The three
Flillestead children were dead
when discovered, and it was after
9 o'clock when the body of the
fourth boy was dug from the ten
feet of solidly packed snow.

When the news of the accident
was reported neighbors assem-
bled from miles around and join

Of tons of snow was showeled
md all worked with full strength
hoping to find the victims still
alive. The parents and foster
parents of the little victims are
Yearly frantic over the accident.
