singing to them his old Scotch songs.
They We're wild to hear him; he was
gift Of cheer in their monotonous
days. SO, even in sorrow, he did his
bit Then he went back to England,
where the story both of his sorrow
and his work had gone before him;
and he went to Church in London the
day after he landed. The minister
knew him, and said to him, Harry
Lauder, we are all proud of you, proud
of the way you've taken this;' and he
replied, When a mans been hit as
I've been hit, there are only three
things possible; despair, drink, or God
and 1 have taken to God That is
really the only sane thing man or wo-
man can do in darkness undeserved."
ii. Gods Benefits.
The Psalmist presents an imposing
list of Gods benefits to him. He lived
in an age when men suffered oppres-
sion and had far fewer privileges than
men have today. If he lived in our
time what list of benefits he would
write out! Have you tried making out
your list? You have about twenty
five centuries of history to include,
over and above the years which the
Psalmist covered. In addition there
is your long personal experience to
record. 1t is a wise admonition of
the song which says:
Count your many blessings,
County them one by one!'
People are quite generally occupied
in counting their woes and troubles
Let christians set an example IN
lcounting the benefits. This Thanks.
lgiving season once more lays the re-
lsponsibility upon us. Here is an op
lportunity to witness for Christ by re
membering his blessings.
Ill. The Conditions.
Everybody desires peace! The ma
Itions are weary of war. The momen
peace is mentioned some one asks
"Upon what conditions?" For ther,
can be no real peace except upon Ger
tain well-detined conditions.
The Psalmist exhorts his soul t,
"bless Jehovah who forgivetl
all thine iniQuities; who healeth al
thy Diseases The need for the for
giveness of iniquities is great. Upol
what conditions can it be accomplish
ed? How far have we fulfilled thes
conditions? The healing of all dis
eases is likewise IL great need. Upol
what conditions can this be accom-
lplished? There are certain laws il
the physical and spiritual worl
which men must understand and o
which they must take account. S
far as God is concerned, the forgive
ness and healing wait upon the fait
and action of men.

Girls" remarked plain-looking
girl in lavender crepe, what stuff
you are talking! 1 think the music
has gone to your heads. Presently
you will be saying that you cannot lis.
ten to music unless your costume is a
thing of harmony and your hat in per-
feet tune"
"Well, don't so much mind my
own dress and hat as the dresses and
hats of the other lsteners," remarked
Nydia. 81 must confess that l should
have enjoyed the Franck symphony
more If the hat in front Of me hadn't
been such a fright. And as for Bee
thoven music the only safe thing is to
close my eyes and shut out all dress
makers and milliners' discords while
l give myself up to the snell."
Don't you think" said the girl in
gray, that women's clothes exert
great influence over mems minds, in
spite of their scoffing at our devo-
tion to dress?"
81 thought it was about time that
we were bHnging the men into this
discussion" said Estelle. Really
there is no doubt that the effect OF
women's clothes upon the masculine
mind has never been given the scien-
tific consideration that 1t deserves.
Do you know, l am thinking of compil-
ing book on the subject, a book
which will be invaluable to single
women"
IN what way?" demanded the girl
in gray, "and what will be your meth
cd of handling your subject?"
"Well," said Estelle," | shall go to
all the women / know and to some l
don't know, and ask them what kind
+ of dress they wore when their hus-
bands proposed"
Perhaps you had better ask the
husbands" suggested Nydia.
mo, the husbands would not be

that every woman could tell just what

up one young matron. 80 l suppose
that there can be no poetry In my

Il shall make that apron immortal

from that and from other aprons that

ICITY FOLKS URGED To
EACH RAISE ONE PIC

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 17.-If you
cannot raise your boy to be a soldier,
what about raising pig to feed some
body elses soldier boy?
]. ]. Brown, commissioner of agrt-
culture Of Georgia, is pointing the
farmers attention to the fact that they
can make no safer business invest
ment than a few good brood sows
which are certain to pay for them
selves in a very short while. The de-
partment of agriculture is making es-
pecial efforts to combat hog cholera
and otherwise encourage the hog
raising industry, because Of the fact
that the worlds meat supply Is the
| lowest on record and prices are ceT'-
tain to be high for several years.
A man doesn't have to live ON 4
farm to raise a pig, or maybe several
pigs. If he has the misfortune to live
in a city where the sanitary regula-
tions forbid, he mast leave the raising
to his country brother or the man who
resides in town where the laws do
not prohibi, pig pens.
Any man who raises a pig or pigs,
or any boy or girl who raises them,
will make good money.

The poll tax money in each com munity goes to the school fund, and certainly every woman in Nevada County is interested in improving schools in her district. Arkansas women hope to get a full suffrage clause into the new state constitution when it is written in November. and un- less the women in each county have made a good showing by paying their poll tax. full suf- frage to Arkansas women will not be secured.
