 Must Be the Gas
 Last week we announced in these columns that there had been ras boat transfer in Douglas. After inc item had been printed in good faith we found that we had been stung. There is nothing strange in the fact that both the alleged buyer and seller told us that the deal had been made and yet it was not go. That was the first time we ever look the word Of a gas boat man, and it will be the last. There is something about the gas boat business that causes those who follow it to lose all idea of vcracity. They arc an direct descendants of Ananias and are worthy representatives of the line. We have often speculatcd upon the reason for this fact and hayc about come to the conclusion that there must be some hidden chemical concealed in the gasoline which, bc- ing brcathed by boat operators and owners, causes that part of the brain that is labeled "veracity" to wither up and die.

 garments again, his return to his place and position of glory.
 2. Peters impetuous ignorance. lie goes from one extreme to another. It Tn his failure to understand the sig nificance of this service that caused him to behave so strangely.
 8. The significance of this service to those who participate in 1t. (l) II is a spiritual cleansing (v. 8. Fellow ship with Jesus is only possible as we are continually cleansed from our sins. "He that Is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit" (v. 10). The cleansing here IS not the washing of regeneration, but that of sanctification. Even regenerate folks need the continual cleansing Of Christ's blood In order to have fellow ship with him. He that is regenerat- ed-washed in the blood of Christ, symbolized by baptism-does not need A repetition of the act; he only needs the cleansing of sanetification, symbol ized by the washing of the feet AS we 90 through this world after regen- eration we are contaminated by It's sins. He is willing always to cleanse us of our sins if we allow him. (2) A badge of hrotherly affection. This act showed his abandonment to the service of his own. This is a lesson that is much needed today. We need more and more the fitness of broth erly love. This love needs to be man. ifested so that it may be seen and re alized. True love can only be proved by the service it renders. (3) A proof of humility This is a lesson much needed by us all. The disciples had just been disputing as to who should be the greatest in the kingdom; their selfish ambition was expressing itself. Today, on every hand, we see expres sons of pride, vanity, and even arro gance on the part of those who are professed followers of the lowly Jesus. If the Son of God was not ashamed to stoop to loWly service his disciples should not regard it beneath their dig nity to follow In his steps. (G Equal ization. As they would thus stoop to serve each other in the name of Christ

see through the trees.
 Peter looked at the house, then looked at Happy Jack. You may be able to stuff lot down me. but you can't make me swallow that house." said he.
 Why men live in that house!"
 "Of course they do." replied Happy Jack, with a chuckle "Slt I've been living there. too. Do you see that limb of tree just touching the roof of that house."
 Peter odded. Well, one day" con tinued Happy Jack,N"I ran out on that limb and on the roof Then discov- cred place where I could gnaw a hole, and did it."
 What for?" demanded Peter.
 "To find out what was inside" re- piled Happy Jack. When I got It big enough to crawl through l got into the attic and 1t was the most wonder. ful place. There was the greatest lot of stuff up there you ever saw, piles of old papers, old clothes. old furniture boxes-goodness. I couldn't begin to tell you of all the stuff In that attic It didn't take me long to find out that nobody ever came up there excepting once in great while to put some more stuff there
 So made nest in box, a nest of paper which tore up and old rags and decided to live there. It was the most comfortable home I've ever had ard I was looking forward to spend ing the winter there. It was a won derful place to live. It certainly was" Happy Jack said this very wistfully.
 Then why don't you stay there 2" demanded Peter
 "Iecause I've just discovered it isn't safe,' declared Happy Jack. No, sir, 1t isn't safe, and safety is the first law of life, as you very we'll know"
 Again Peter nodded, and Happy Jack continued: "One night was awakened by some one in the attic. It was boy and he was looking for something with lightei match. It burned close to his fingers and then he dropped It. It fell on a piece of old paper and 1t blazed right up. That boy was quick. I'll say that much for him. He stamped that fire out quick. CT than a wink Then he went off down stairs.
 "The rest oi that night didn't sleep much. l kept thinking supposing that match had dropped in one of the biz piles of paper and he hadn't been able

Happy Jack Squirrel Moves By Thornton w. Bruoess.

Happy Jack Squirrel was moving. It wasn't that he wanted to move. Good ness, mol Moving is bad enough at any season, but to have to do it right in the middle of the harvest season IS enough to drive almost any right,mind- ed thrifty squirrel almost crazy. and Happy Jack Is nothing if not thrifty. Bu: he just had to do 1t because, as he explained to Peter Rabbit, if he didn't he never would know another minute of peace.
 You know, Peter." said Happy ! Jack, T believe in thrift"
 Peter wriggled his wobbly little nose bit scornfully. If I don't know it it isn't because haven't had 1t ever lastingly preached to me-" said he.
 Happy Jack took no notice of Peters scorn "Yes, sir, believe In thrift" he continued "The truly thrifty perscn is the one who will get on fastest and farthest in life. Think 1t over, Peter. So 1t was because am truly thrifty that 1 had to drop everything else and move right now in the middle of my busy season. l couldn't afford to risk losing what I've already got just for the sake of adding a little to it. Do you think I could, Peter?"
 Peter Rabbit scratched one long ear with long hindfoot, then the other long ear with the other long hindfoot, and looked puzzled. T don't know what you're talking about, but if you say it's SC guess so 1t is." said he.
 'Of course it is." retorted Happy Jack. You know I've been living in the attic of that house over there" He pointed to house Peter could just

to stamp it out. The Red Terror would have just raced through that stuff and that whole house would have been afire in no time. So I decided to move. l couldn't afford to lose ny winter supply of nuts stored there, to say nothing of running the risk of being burned to death because Of some bodys carelessness Besides, I made up my mind that had been living with thriftless people. No one truly thrifty would ever have allowed such a mass of old stuff to collect. They would have sold 1t for Thrift Stamps and so got some good from it. You know. Peter there isn't anything that can't be made use of in some way.
 T can't stand thriftlessness. That in itselt is bad enough, but thriftless people are also apt to be careless. So I'm moving to hollow tree. Now feel rested and must get to work again and save the rest of my winter sup plies bafore the Red Terror burns up that house. l feel it in my bones that that is going to happen some day. Good-by. Peter"
 Happy Jack scampered away ;n the direction of the house where he had been living and where the thrittless. careless people lived. Then Peter turned towards the dear old briar patch. Tt certainly is funny" said he to himself as he hoppei along, 'how thriftless some people are and don't know 1t, and what lot of different kinds of thriftlsssness there are"

 |. christ's Amazing Love for His Own (vv. 1-3).
 Jesus was fully conscious of what was upon him. He knew that the cross with all it's anguish was just before him. He knew that his disciples would shamefullg forsake him in few hours. He knew that one of that number would be the instrument In the hands of the devil in his betrayal. He knew that all things were In his hands: was fully conscious of his deity. Notwith- standing all this, he displayed patient and untiring love. He did not with draw his love from them because of their weakness and the shameful fail ure which he knew would soon be made manifest.
 II. Christ Washing His Disciples Feet (vv. AID.
