parliament will remain in power an
other two months, so that the Allies
cannot hope for assistance from this
quarter for some weeks to come, if
at all.

Japanese Breakfast.

The usual Japanese breakfast con-
sists of rice, misc soup, pickles and
occasionally fish. Tea is always
served with meals, and is drunk clear,
without sugar or cream. Misc soup
consists of strips of radishes, sea-
weed, eggplant, or other vegetables
cooked with bean curd and water. The
cooking is not continued for long
period, and so few vegetables are
used that the soup partakes only
slightly of the flavor of the ingredi.

OBADIAH POOR DEVILS

Obadiah Poordevil was one of
those easy going people who attended
to his own business and had but lit.
tie to say to any one. His education
was acquired by jerks in one OF the
little old-fashioned log school hous-
es. a sample Of which we find yet
in some OF the new settlements Of
the southwestern states. He seldom
attended church, but when he did he
wore such a solemn look that 1t ex-
cited the suspicion that he possessed
religion. Acting upon this suspicion
one day old Deacon Twentypercent
invited him to pray. Obediah said
he didn't have words enough to pray,
they must excuse him. But old Dea-
con Twentypercent and Deacon Skin
flint told him he didn't have to have
words, the Lord would furnish them;
all he had to do was to get down
on his knees and open his heart and
the Lord would put words in his
mouth to express his feelings.
For the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh, said Twenty
percent. Obediah said he'd try it a
lick anyhow and having placed him
self in the proper attitude he pour
ed out his heart in the following
manner:

will give me words to express the
feelings OF my heart o, Lord, send
