CHILDRENS PULPIT

There was just eight years differ
ence in the ages of Oscar and his lit
tie friend, Mel; but, in spite of that
difference. they were such chums that
it seemed neither could live without
the other. Oscar was a strong, hearty
boy of nine years. Mel was small
white bantam hen just one year old.
Although they had but little in COM
mon, they had grown to appreciate
and understand one another so well
that they spent hours telling their
secrets one TO the other.
Oscar had saved Nel's life when she
was but few days old. She belong
led then to Mrs. Rogers, a neighbor.
Oscar found her one evening, lost
from her mother, and almost chilled
to death. He carried her to Mrs. Rog-
ers and was more than delighted
she told him that he might have her
for his own. He ran home, wrapped
her in a warm cloth and tucked her
away in a small box. His delight
knew no limits when he uncovered
her, the next morning, and she hoped
out of the box and began to chirp
loudly. Day after day he fed and car
ed for her. She soon learned to know
him and seemed to love him as much
as he loved her.
One day Oscar thought that he
would like to raise some radishes,
lettuce, etc. He spaded up little
corner of the garden, broke up all the
clods and carefully raked it smooth.
Having planted the seeds, he left it in
keen expectation of the day when the
tiny stalks would peep through the
ground.
Mel, hunting for food, came to the
newly-made garden and thought it an
excellent place to dust herself. She
never dreamed that it would do any
harm. Her mother, her grandmother
and all her Observation-Disclosures al
ways scratched in such places. Thus
she thought she was doing all right
when she walked to the middle of this
spot and began to bury herself. How
she made the dirt fyl She even
wished Oscar could see her and share
in her delight.
On coming around the house he saw
Mel tearing up his garden which he
had so carefully made. He flew mad
in an instant. Snatching up a hard
cinder, he threw it with all his might.
The cinder had hardly left his fingers
when he realized the danger, but it
was too late. The damage had been
done and nothing he could do would
now make amends. He rushed to Mel
and picked her UP. She fiuttered q
moment and then lay limp i'm his hand.
He cried bitterly like a babe, but to
no use. In that moment Of anger he
had killed the dearest chum he ever
had and robbed his own heart Of its
sweet love.
We may not have a pet hen, but we
all have loved ones, father and mother,
brothers and sisters and our ideals.
There is danger that we fling some
hard word or thought in a moment Of
anger-yes, il takes but a moment to
do the damage-that will worse than
kill some loved one.

food survey bill, Miss Rankin intro
duced an amendment that "the Secre-
tary of Agriculture shall, so far as
practicable, engage the services of
women for the work herein provided
for" This amendment was carried
unanimously. For five minutes Miss
Rankin spoke while the usually noisy
House sat in silence and, when she
took her seat, both sides, Republican
and Democrat, burst into vigorous
applause, which was continued until
the Speaker was forced to rap for
order. During Miss Rankin's speech
she said, "The work provided for in
this paragraph, such as gathering in
formation, extending and charging
the news service and preventing
waste, includes activities that we
have been accustomed to seeing wom-
en- engaged in, and when these activi-
ties are so closely related to the home
as it the food question, women are
especially well fitted by their training
and experience to do this work" The
address was delivered in a clear, we'll
modulated voice and was listened to
with closest attention. AS the result
of the passage of the amendment
women will be employed in the food
census in conjunction with men.

Aristotle, the great Greek philos-
pher, charmed with the fragrance and
flavor of honey, declared it to be dew
distilled from the stars and rainbow.
While science has laid aside this
mans fancy, it has shown the real
nature of honey to be none the less
dainty and tempting. AS everyone
knows, honey is the nectar Of flowers
modified and evaporated by honey
bees. The refreshing taste of honey
is the standard which syrup makers
have vainly tried to reach.

of the hull, the engines did not do all
that they were capable of accomplishing

from the engine in the motor boat in
that instead Of having the cylinders
cast separately, they were east in
blocks of three. Like the Maple Leaf
engines, all the valves were operated
from single eamshaft, and the eylin
defs were at an angle of sixty degrees
to each other. This engine was very
successful in the Sunbeam racing err

this engine, the Sunbeam company is

$35O,OOO,OOO Tire
Bill for This Year

1t is estimated that more than $780,
100000 will be spent in the purchase
of tires for pleasure cars alone during
1917, The estimate is based on the
number of ears in use, the average
mileage, the guarantees ordinarily
made with tires and on other figures
of tire consumption by car owners in
the past.
