Mr.. Bowser gulped three or four
times, and then explained:

Zeppelin is. don't you?"
Certainly"
And you know what bomb is?"

This of it!' he exclaimed in irri-
tation. "A Zeppelin has been seen
lowering over the city within the last
alarmed, and there are great crowds in
the streets"
II don't see what there is to be
scared Of" said Mrs. Bowser. 'If a
Zeppelin is lowering over the city
let her hover the same as we would
let crow hover"
POUNDS, woman, can't you under
stand that Zeppelin is probably here
to drop bombs down on US! And that
is the peril l referred tor
Nobody knows that that is her OBJ
ject, and suppose it was? Suppose
she dropped a hundred bombs as she
flew over the city. At least ninety of
those bombs would fall into the streets
and do no damage. Nine more would
fall into back yards. and like enough
destroy the clothes lines, and the 9TH
er one might fall on a barn and de-
mOnSn a morse. J don't see why you
should get excited about that. I'm
sure l shan't."
Mr.. Bowser said no more He was
so mad he couldn't talk. He rushed
up to the storeroom and there found
an old cot with a broken leg. He came
down stairs with it on his head, and
disappeared down cellar. When he
came up again, putting and blowing.
he found Mrs. Bowser calmly reading
the evening papers, and she looked up
| to ask:
| IF you fear the house will be struck
with bomb during the night, why
don't you go to brewery vault some
where. They are so deep under ground
that no missile can reach you"
1t was amazing that Mr.. Bowser did
not jump up and down, and wave his
arms about but he didn't. He brushed

RAISE RATS FOR zoo.
Scant Rations for Lions Replenished
by Rodents in Germany.

Budapest, Hungary, Feb. 1s.-Rats
are being bred for the Budapest zoo in
order to save the scant ration of horse
flesh for the lions and tigers, whose
constant roaring shows the extent they
suffer from the general shortage of
food Eagles, vultures and the wild
birds are fed exclusively on rats. At
times when horse meat has been un-
obtainable, goats ana the less valuable
animals have been sacrificed to save
the lives of the beasts that once ruled
the jungle
$50 to Shoot a Bear.
But the herbivorous animals have
also gone through hard times. as wild
chestnuts have been substituted for
expensive hay. They have small liking
for chestnuts. A herd of ten seals
had to be killed, as no fish could be
obtained for them. The seal meat
went to feed the wild beasts TIVE
polar bears were shot-one because he
refused to eat war food and the other
because he grew so weak on the new
diet it was deemed a mercy to finish
him off. The bears added to the zoos
revenue in another way. as the privilege
of shooting them was auctioned off-to

.
acteristic features of the period are
1. A completed ministry. He had been
all over Palestine but Perea. He sent
out the Seventy to prepare the way for
him, and multitudes thronged about
him as once they did in Galilee. 2. A
Deadly Opposition. The good will of
the multitudes excited a corresponding
i'll will in the Pharisees who tried to
kill him. 8. A Definite Goal From the
beginning, his face was set for Jerusa-
lem.
Judea, beyond the Jordan, is called
/ Perea. Luke records the events that
occur in Perea, principally, and John
those that occur in Judea. In chap
tiers and 6 OF John, the miracle of
the Paralytic and the feeding of the
5000 formed the introduction to two
discourses which set forth the Christ
as the source and the support of life
In chapters and he is set forth as
the source of Truth and Light, and this
Is Illustrated In chapter by giving
physical and spiritual sight to the man
porn blind. In chapter 10 he is set
forth as Love under the figure of the
GOOD Shepherd giving his life for the
sheep and this is illustrated in chapter
II oy the raising of Lazarus a work OF
| love which costs him his life. The
prevailing idea is truth and love pro-
vok1ng contradiction and enmity. The
more clearly the Messiah. rnanifests
| Himself, and the more often he con.
vtnces some of His, hearers of His
Messiahship, the more intense becomes
the hostility of the Jews, and the more
determined their intention to kin him

Mr.. BOWSER'S BOMBS
He BraveIy Decides Not to Avoid Dan
gerous Explosives

Mr.. Bowser had to go over to the
family drug store after dinner, and
when he came back, half an hour lat
er, he was laboring under great ex-
citement.
asked Mrs. Bowser.
Worse than that" he replied. Mrs.
Bowser, have we got couple of cots
in the house?"
Cots? Cots?" she repeated. What
on earth do you want with a couple
of cots? I think there may be a cou-
pie in the store room"
Mrs. Bowser," answered Mr.. Bow
ser. in oppressive tones, as he held
I'D a warning finger, 1--WE are in direst
peril, and we must dodge 1t II
we can. I want those cots to put
down cellar We shall sleep down
there tonight, and probably for many
nights to comet"
what is this ?" she demanded, as
she turned on him. Did the druggist
spin you q yarn that has got you half
scared to DEATH
Mrs Bowser, it is not the time for
such talk. The druggist has spun me
no yarn. He is not the man to spin
yarns in the face of peril There were
eight men in the store, and they were
agreed with me that it was a situation
full of the direst menace, I want
those cots at oncei"
AS he started to go up stairs, Mrs.
Bowser caught him and pushed him
| into q chair, and holding him there
she said:
you have evidently heard some
thing that threatens me as well as
you. I want to know what 1t is be-
fore you go any further. You talk
