A plea for a 99-year lease without

trustees of the school board by State

a lease like the Tribune and News

They say they can't borrow money

Atlantic City, all by my lonely self.
This afternoon l received a letter
from Dick.
Think of it, little book, a letter
from poor, old Dick, who rarely
writes! The idea of Dick writing to
me when 20 minutes ride would
bring him to me was astonishing.
1 broke the seal and this, little
book, was Dicks letter:
''Margie Dearest went into your
room this morning before I left for
the Office and you looked so dear and
sweet as you lay there asleep that I
could not resist the temptation to
kiss you. 1 tried to touch my lips to
your cheek so lightly that I would
not awaken you.
"As my kiss brushed your soft,
shiny hair and reached a resting
place on your faintly-fUshed cheek
you turned restlessly and murmured:
Don't, Dick
''Margie, do you know this has
been your attitude for over a year.
You somehow make me think of that
eternal punishment that is supposed
to be melted out to the sinner in the
next world. Margie, never thought
you were as unforgiving as you are.
Strange, isn't it, that after our
years of married life together we do
not yet understand each other! /
have always thought of you as the
sweetest, the softest and most yield
ing of women, yet you have exhibited
in the last year hardness and firm
ness that 1 have never found in a
man.

lapses Of men as you do upon mine?
Can you not believe me when I tell
you almost every mans heart is true
to one woman, whatever tricks his
mind or his emotions may play upon
him for the moment?

Being as familiar with Shakespeare as
is Evangelist Herbert Yeuell, there is
assured all attending the Growers to-
night new and interesting treatment
OF the above subject
Last night there we're many present
to hear what was said on THE Devil
and How He breaches" and none were
disappointed in the way in which the
subject was developed. THE origin of
evil has baffled the philosophers Of
all ages, but who the devil was need
not bother any one. The Bible speaks
of him as having been an angle Of
light. He has or rather is a person
atty Why speak of him as an evil
influence only? When there is a theft
or a murder committed in the COM
munity, the officers of the law do not
look for the spirit of theft or the spirit
Of murder they look for person gull
ty of these crimes. One Of the things
the devil breaches is doubt in the eX-
istence OF such a person. He ap-
prOaches a saint or sinner at either
his strongest of at his weakest charac-
teristic point" This was illustrated in
various ways This sermon proves DR..
Yeuell to be out of sympathy with the
position taken by the higher critics.
