CHAPTER III.
HuIdah, Wife of Jesse,

HuIdah, Wife of Jesse.
N all Judea there was not more
devoted wife and mother than
Huldah, she who had been united
in marriage to the patriarch Jesse
for more than forty years. With her
husband she had resided nearly half
century in that same great stone house
which Jesse's fathers father had rear
ed and made the center Of vast es-
tate. Here her boy Gaal had been
born forty years before, and here he
had attained mans estate and grown
to middle age. Here, too, late in life,
had been born the younger son, Jether,
regarded by both Huldah and Jesse as
Gods most sacred gift to them in their
old age.
Huldah loved her boy Jether. No
greater affection was ever borne by q
mother for her youngest than the deep,
undying devotion Of Huldah for this
boy. Therefore when Jether decided
to make his appeal to the mother In
stead Of to the stern and aged Jesse
the boy knew that his plea would not
be passed over lightly.
- From within the window was heard
the patient, softly modulated voice Of
the mother as she asked:
What is it, my boy2"
Jether answered impatiently:
Mother, would speak with thee
alone, quickly"
Down the stone steps he ran hur-
riedly and paced anxiously to and fro
upon the turf. In few moments the
tall and stately mother, embodiment of
all that seemed best in wonderful
motherhood, caressed the boy and be-
slowed upon his forehead sacred
kiss.
Thou art flushed, my boy!" exclaim-
ed Huldah anXiously. ""ThOu vert not

hill. have often warned thee against
the sudden cold Another time l shall

Jether impulsively broke away from
the affectionate embrace.
Thou, too, wouldst tell me what t.
do" he declared angrily.
MY SON. Huldah was both sur
prised and hurt at the outburst.

THE BEE AS A GARDEN AID
BY ELIZABETH VAN RENTHIyYsEN

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN.
All persons who are interested in
the garden should study the question
of keeping bees. The relationship of
the bee to the culture of flowers, fruits
and vegetables is so important that it
ought to have much more attention
than Is usually given to it. 1 do not
know anything that is of more mo-
ment than an intelligent understand
ing of the bee question.
They not only fertilize, but they
serve to produce. 1t is not by any
means necessary to start the keeping
of bees upon large scale. One may
make start with one or two colonies
and from the beginning can ascertain
whether or not the project is going to
find. favor. r
AS a rule it is better to buy in frame
hives, but where the item of cost is
not important the box hives may be
taken and the new owner will soon
learn to transfer the bees without
trouble. H4a
1t is even possible to keep a few
colonies in the backyard of a city home
where they will not annoy the neigh
bors. The keeping of bees in a city
yard is not, however, recommended
excepting for the most enthusiastic
devotee and it had its obvious draw.

100 Years Old

"The kidneys play most important
part in causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay''-so says distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Discovered by DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age by simply
slipping a cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking a little Anuric
before meals and live to be hundred.

PLANNING THE BULB BEDS
BY ELIZABETH VAN sENTHuYsEN

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN
There is no more profitable pastime
for the winter days and nights than the
come with the new season. Everyone
knows just how large a place in the
lawn the beds can have. There is no
question as to the location of the beds.
Why not plan an arrangement that
will make your beds attract attention
rs the distinctive work of person of
ideas?
First, measure your lawn space and
decide how many beds you will have.
Then take a sheet of paper and lay off
on it the entire lawn and draw into
1t q number of designs. The more you
practice making drawings for the beds
the easier it will become and the more
apt you are to get something that will
make the passers pause to admire not
only the flowers but the genius of their
arrangement. Hyacinths, tulips and
daffodils, with a background of lilies,
makes fine combination. There is no
limit to the number of designs and ar
rangements that can be made, and ev-
cry shape and angle known to the
geometry can be utilized in the plans.
As an item of home pleasure and
instruction some slight regard might
be offered to the children for the
brightest suggestions. 1t will create q
new interest among them in the flow
ers and will prove of material value
as well as having educational elements.
There are so few things about the
management and making of home
where the children ever get a chance
to take hand in suggesting work that
they usually like the dignity of being
consulted.

A FLOWER OF THE RICH

Everyone of the recent flower shows
in the East has been marked by the
keen competition displayed among the
wealthy patrons for awards in the
Tchigantus class. .t .l
Much time, care and attention are re-
quired to get in the blue ribbon class
in the culture of this plant. 1t seems
to offer little for the person with the
small garden because of the care and
the amount of outlay that seems to be
necessary to get the best results with
It.
Undoubtedly, it presents a rich ap-
pearance and is worth all the care that
may be bestowed by those who possess
the means, but most of the average
readers will find something else in the
garden that presents just as rich an
aspect with less requirement of labor
to bring it to perfection. The chief
reason why it is a society favorite is
that only the best equipped places can
afford to take part in the competition
and there is certain air of distinction
in being an exhibitor in this class.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted Off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.

HAVE GOOD READING MATTER
In These Days There Is Little Reason
Why Home Should Not Be Sup
piled With the Best.

Every home should be we'll supplied
with reading matter of the right kind,
and in these days Of free libraries one
has the wealth of master minds at his
or her command. Therefore, no one
need offer any excuse for not having
good reading matter always on hand.
Young people live in world of
dreams. Life to them appears all light
md gayety, but the parents of growing
boys and girls know that all is not gold
that glistens, and if these parents are
going to help their children along life's
way they certainly will not permit
them to form false ideals through
questionable reading.
Do not be afraid to revive few of
the "old-fashioned ideas about training
children" Those ideas have stood the
test of time and are sterling through
and through. Know all about the
books anG papers that come into your
home, and if you find that they are not
conducive to right thinking, assert

When You Say Your PRAYERS.

In the Temple. church (near the Law
COURT in London, on the Sunday after
our election, the master of the Temple,
when he had finished his sermon,
paused and said to his astonished con-
gregation that since it appeared to be
quite certain that Doctor Wilson had
been elected president of the United
States, and. so seemed certain to be
called to take part in the peace nego-
tiations which would befall during the
next four years, 81 would ask you to-
pray for. him for a few moments, that
he may have the divine guidance I'M
all that he may do" /
Surely that showed a wise spirit inl

is Lloyd George, chosen to cure the
shortcomings of England, to strength
en- her thews and extend her reach,
and help her to win great peace that
will bring new hope to a battered

Once a Great World Highway.
Whole volumes, indeed, could be

in the wall that will permit the free
movement of the bees.
Among those who have had expert
ence in bee raising in connection with
farm and garden work the italian bee
is preferred. But the fact that black
bees are only available need not offer
any obstacle. If an Italian queen is
procured and placed in the black hive
she will transform the black colony
into Italians in such a short space of
time that one will be surprised. Ma
ture offers no other instance of the
power of a queen as one finds in the
ready handling of a strange hive by a
queen who not only enforces her sway
but impresses her characteristics upon
her. followers.
The use of the bees is not confined
to pollinating flowers and vegetables.
A couple of colonies will provide honey
enough for the table and then leave
some for sale.
And it is not difficult matter to
learn how to handle bees. One soon
learns how to treat them so as to have
the minimum risk of Stings. Another
interesting thing is that the bee han
dler after n time becomes immune to
a large extent from the effects of
stings until a bite" counts for less in
the form of annoyance than the av-
erage mosquito sting. After a time
the swelling that follows bee sting
will not appear on the hand of the old
timer.
There is some merit also attached
by tradition, whether correctly or not
l shall not attempt to discuss, to the
sting of bees. One of the ancient ideas
is that rheumatism may be cured by

the bees. But my mission is to aid in
