The Happy Family
fPublished bY reoues..l

Published by request.)
There was happy family lived up in
Bethany.
Two sisters and one brother composed
the family.
Tho poor and without money their
friendship was the same,
Their house stood always open to Jesus
and His name.
One maiden's name was Martha a, the old
est ] am told,
The others name was Mary and she was
as pure as gold.
She felt 1t was her privilege to sit low
at his feet
And hear him tell the story OF love so
pure and sweet.
But why they lived so happy, so pure,
80 kind and good,
Their brother was so afflicted and soon
took to his bed.
Poor Mary and poor Martha looked to
the Lord and cried,
But Lazaras grew no better. He linger-
ed on and died
The sisters sent for Jesus. Their call
He did obey,
Tho He and His disciples were many
miles away,
When Jesus heard those tidings He
abode in distant land,
More swiftly did He travel to join that
mournful band.
When Martha saw Him coming she met
Him on the way,
And told Him how her brother had died
and passed away.
When Mary saw Him coming she ran
and met Him, too,
And at His feet fell weeping, and Jesus
weeping, too.
He wept until they showed Him the
grove where Lazaras lay,
And then He said unto them, Just roll
the stone away"
He called unto His father to send the
mighty power;
"Restore again this brother to life and
health this hour,
And then He called out, "Lazarss, come
forth at my command.
He came with sweeping victory DER
deaths cold icy hand.
So, now, dear friends. we're serving this
very Christ of God.
Who loves us just as dearly if we obey
His word,
So let us al be faithful and obey the
last command,
And when this life is over we'll join
that hnpay band,

RIVER GRADUALLY
REPLACING LAND

The Tennessee river is gradual
ly retaining all of the land that
was lost to agriculture when the
high waters rose as a result of
! the big dam built at Hale's Bar.
River men report that the amount
of mud being deposited between
Chattanooga and the lock and
dam is surprising. and in their
opinion, it will only be a short
time until the river win be al
most back in it's old channels.
An interesting legal situation
may arise as a result of this natur-
al phenomenon. If the land
formerly out of the water is re-
claimed there may be battle
over it's ownership. Those who
held title have collected large
sums from the Chattanooga River
Power company thru compromise
and suit. altho no title transfers
were made, and it has been sug-
gested that the company might
aspire to hold that which it has
paid for. Officials of the COM
pany have made no comment on
the possibilities of the reclama-
ton, and are possibly not aware
of the fact that the land they
paid out hundreds of thousands
of dollars in damages for may
soon be almost as valuable as
it was before the waters were
backed up.
Those who use the river fire.
quently have noticed for months
the growing deposits of mud be-
tween here and the lock and dam.
In some places where acres were
covered bars have already formed
that are visible. Where water
was formerly twenty to thirty
feet deep it is now no more than
two or three and the growth of
these sandbars is noticeable
month by month. Much of Viii
liams island was covered by back
water from the lock and dam
when the flow of the river was
first stopped there, and small
boats often ran in close to the is
land on the down and upriver
trips. Now they are forced to
circle even the old island, for de-
posts have almost brought out
the old lines and the water in the
vicinity of the new
banks is very shallow.
One experienced river man said
Yesterday that it would be but a
few years at the present rate I'M
til the government was actually
forced to cut channel for large
boats in many places between
here and the lock and dam.
There is nothing unusual in the
mud deposits below Chattanooga.
The large amount of mud, sand
and debris that formerly went
down the stream is stopped by
the dam and must be dropped by
he water where the current loses
to carry it. The high
ground fills up first and for this
most of theland inundated
when the dam was built will be
reclaimed before the channel fills
up dangerously. Chattanooga

two Sisters" y W. !. 7 S.:::

Delaine that she was wounded because
he had introduced himself to another
girl, she could not suspect that Caryfs
emotion was that of fear lest her en-
pIoyer had discovered the web of
falsehoods which she had woven.
Julia's one idea was to. check the
passionate crying which might be
heard by other dodgers. and to do this
she must make light OF her interview
with Delaine. .''''-
"Caryl, dear" she begged, laying a
caressing hand on the bowed head,
please be quiet and listen to what
have to say, or Mrs. Halloran will
be up to find out what's the matter"
CaryI pushed away the would-be re-
straining hand. There's enough the
matter" she exclaimed. You've
spoiled everything, l tell you."
Spoiled everything?" Julia re-
peated, more mystified than ever. This
was the second time Caryl had made
this assertion, and it puzzled her. Il
do not see how | could have spoiled
anything when l had such little talk
with Mr.. Delaine.'
But you told him" accused
Caryl, then began to sob afresh.
Il told him." said Julia, with de-
termined patience. that was earning
| my own living. That was the truth.
and fail TO see what harm It did"
! A sudden thought flashed through
Caryl's mind. Why might she not tell
| Delaine that her sister had decided to
write a story about working girl In
New York shops. and to this end had
taken position In a department store
for several weeks in order to obtain
such facts as she desired? At the
idea her sobs ceased, and she wiped
her eyes,
Then you did not have time enough
! for him to talk about me or to tell
him much about our life, did you?
asked Caryl TREMENDOUSLY, yet hope
fully.
Julia. relieved at what promised to
be lull in the storm, answered quite
promptly.
Dear she said. your name was
scarcely mentioned. l told Mr.. De,
laiue that you had used some of your
own money to, take a course in ste
biography, and | only told him this as
an explanation of your position as his
secretary and of the fact that l had
not taken up the same line of work.
/ Then what did he say?" queried
Caryl eagerly.
81 do not remember, but surely
nothing about you In fact he stopped
only a minute at my counter. and, as
i Cd not want to be seen chatting
with a man during business hours,
asked him if I could show him AM
laces. and he went away at once"
Did he ask where you lived?'
Again the voice had a startled sound
and Julia replied quickly
"Yes-and I did not tell him"
Caryl drew a deep breath of relief
That's good" she exclaimed. Per
haps, after all, no mischief has beer

done. I do not want him to know
where We live"
Neither do l." agreed her sister.
After a moments silence Caryl gave
a historical giggle. The recollection
had come to her of how she had
eluded Somerdyke In his plan to as
certain where her home was. Her
sister looked at her inquiringly
Caryfs swift transitions of mood we're
always a wonder to her.
What under the sun are you think
ing of now. Caryl?" she asked. One
minute you are overwhelmed with
grief. the next you are laughing"
"Oh, I just happened to remembeP
something funny" Caryl explained.
But don't believe 1t would interest
you
Julia pressed the question no fur
Their. Affairs had now reached the
point where both girls were keeping
things from each other.

OF palms, but outside was a cool
spring, and all about in the trees sang
every kind of bird. And foremost
among the songsters was the pretty
little mosquito.
Just outside of the hut door grew a
patch of sweet, white clover, the kind
that bees love so dearly, and of which
they make such fine honey. Every
day, just before dawn, some bees that
lived In a hole in an old oak would
come to suck the sweetness from the
clover blossoms. But by sunrise they
were gone The old Wink, who was
cross and rheumatic, noticed that
something had been at the clover bed
and determined to catch the thief.
The mosquito saw his anxiety and of
fered to help.
81 am not large bird" he said, Il
will watch the clover for you and let
you know. if you will pay me what
want. 1t is a drop of magic Oil which
you carry in that crystal bottle tied
to your belt"
Now, if there was anything which
the Wink valued it was this drop of
oil, for 1t was the last on earth and
he had been treasuring it for cen
turtles. 1t possessed curious magical
properties. but no one knew what they
were. for no one wished to use the
drop in finding out But the Wink

The s~ailCN and the bees had always
been great friends. SO it heard of this
plan OF the mosquito with sorrow. II
loved the little bee who was so indus
trious, and thought the Wink very
cruel to wish to deprive any insect OF
the sweets from the clover. And as
he thought about the matter he grew
very angry and whisked his pretty
black tail about wildly. for then he
had a long, full tail. with every feather
even straight across at the end.

some way to help out the bees"
So he got up long before sunrise and
hid close to the open window, from
which point he could see everything
that went on in all directions. Pres
emily the sky grew pink Over the
meadows came the bees, and in a few
moments settled on the clover
The swallow could see the mosquito
watching from behind a leaf The
sun rose brightly and the little bees
hummed their way home like golden
specks in the light Presently out of
the hut came the Wink In his hand
was the bottle of oil, at which he
looked every morning in the first
light.
The mosquito tapped its wings and
flew toward the man. Just as it got
near to the Wink the flutter of its
wings SO startled the magician that he
let the bottle fall down, it crashed on
to stone and the one tiny drop of oil
remained on bit of glass. The swal-
low saw the accident, and at once
dipped down, taking up the drop on
his bill
II may as we'll try my luck" he
said to himself Just then the mos
quito came Whirring along, stopped on
sWaying branch and opened his
mouth TO tell about the bees stealing
from the clover for their honey. But
just as soon as he got his bill open
the swallow jumped forward, gave a
fierce pick at the tongue and in mo-
ment the mosquito found he could not
talk, fer half his tongue was gone for
ever, He could only buzz, and buzz,
and buzz, just like we hear mosquitoes
do now. Then the magic oil, which.
was on the bill of the swallow when
he made the bite got down the mos
quito's throat and slipped into his
stomach. 1t worked a strange change,
for in ten seconds he commenced to
shrivel up. Tiny and timer he got
his pretty brown coat changed into
an ugly shade of yellow and his pretty
body into thin, longlegged, hideous
affair.
SO there he stood the once hand
some bird now a horrid mosquito.
And as such he stands today, making
the summer nights disagreeable by
trying to sing with his half-tongue
And the little bees were let alone in
the future by the Wink. Only in the
tail of the kind swallow can we now
see where the bad mosquito grabbed
him-for today there is place in his
tail like a deep cut where the feathers
were jerked out.

He came into the store" replied
the older girl.
The color left Caryl's cheeks and
she sat gazing at her sister. her eyes
wide and startled. Kelley Delaine had
been to the store in which Julia was
working, and she, Caryl, had told him
that her sister lived at home and
wrote for the magazines, Had he dis

"Did-did he see you-did he speak

voice

of the girl, felt pang of fear. Was
