war has taught us many lessons
about the faith of other men. Donald
Hankey has written with wonderful
effectiveness about "The Religion of
the Inarticulate." Probably there
is a good deal of religion outside of
the church which would be more
fruitful if articulated within the
church. 1t is the business of church
people to try to make this possible.
1t is the business of those outside to
try to understand and work with
the church.
Some people are SO intolerant as
to be constantly unkind. 1t was said
of Henry Ward Beecher that no one
ever felt the full force of his kind
ness until he did Beecher an injury.
Jesus never allowed a cherished
grudge to disturb the peace of his
own soul. Abraham Lincoln said:
mo man resolved to make the most
of himself can spare the time for
personal contention. Still less can
he afford to take all the consequence
including the vitiating of his own
temper and the loss of self-control.'

Various ways In which the house.

suggested in new publication Of the

especially in cookery. 1t is. however.
. comparatively simple matter to sub
stitute It In many receipts for COM
mon sugar or for molasses, and when
this is done the resulting flavor is
often both novel and agreeable.
One Of the great advantages In the
use of honey is that cakes made with
1t will keep much longer than those
made with sugar. A honey cake made
with butter. for instance. will keep its
quality until the butter grows rancid.
and one made without butter will
keep fresh for months. For this rea-
son useful receipts that call for NO
butter. Icing made with honey has
the same advantage, and some icing
made In the experimental laboratory
OF the Department OF Agriculture was
found at the end of 10 months to be
as soft and in as good condition as
when It was first made.
Honey Is marketed in two forms,
known respectively as comb honey
and extracted honey. the former be-
ing used much like jam or marnialade
and the latter either In that way or
for cooking. In the past there has
been some prejudice against extract
ed honey--or honey removed from
the comb-because it was believed
,that this was frequently adulterated.

There was some great tanning at the

"Yes," he put in, sometimes they did
slash me up, and sometimes they
didn't. I remember once when Davy
Jones was with the Cubs. Early In
the game he tried to steal and tagged
him pretty roughly. He warned me
that the next time he got on he was
coming down and was going to cut
me down. Sure enough he got on
again. but as we had the Cubs beaten,
8 to l, tipped King of to make a
high throw. Down came Davy with
one leg swinging high so as to spike
me. OF course, paid no attention to
the ball, which went to center field.
All I did was to grab that leg. give 1t
a twist and cause Davy to pillow up
the infield with his face. When Davy

His successful campaign last season
with the worlds champions witnessed
his lightest hitting performance. He
batted only .272 in Boston. Once be-
fore. only. he failed to qualify in the
charmed circle. That was In 1916.
He dubbed for .295 that year as a
member OF the Athletics. But it was
only a remnant of the old machine
with which Connie Mack had won four
championships and three world cham

Best Hitting Year.
In 1912. the year Jake Stahl's Red

had his best hitting year. .327. and
that year, too, he stole the most bases,

INDIAN THIEF HAD INGENUITY
Remarkably Clever stratassm BY
Which Plssan Escapsd With He
Booty 81 Stolen Ponies.

Among the many interesting stories
told by members Of the Canadian
mounted police Is one that has to do
with the cleverness Of an Indian.
One snowy morning band Of Crees
awoke to md that about a dozen Of
their ponies had been stolen during the
night A band to go in pursuit was
Immediately organized, and In the
course Of an hour the trail was struck.
The band followed It for thirty miles
or more. till 1t entered a river and
headed for a little wooded island.
Smoke was rising from the trees. and
IN opening. apparently the mouth OF
q cavc, was In plain. view. Presently
. Pieean Indian showed himself in
front Of the opening. At his heels was
dog.
Pretty soon the dog scented the
Crees. who were lying low. and began
growing and barking. The Piegan hook
ed up. glanced about him for a moment
and then instantly entered the cave.
II: about ten seconds. another Piegan
came round the rocks and also went
in: then another. and another and an
other The Crees lay silently in the
bushes. counting, till upward Of nifty
Piegans had come round the rocks and
gone into the cave. and still they kept
coming. Each carried a rife.
When at last seventy men had disap-
peared in the cave. the superstitious
and cautious Crees concluded that the
evil spirit had something to do with
1t. So thoroughly were they filled with
this idea that even when reinforce
ments came, which was in few hours.
they were reluctant to attack the
island.
That night. however. one Cree. less
CT edulous than the others. crossed over
the Ice To Investigate. On approach
ing the supposed cave. he found that
1t was no cave at all. but simply an
opening leading some ten feet into the
rock. where 1t made a turn and came
out on the other side.
There was the remnant Of single
camp fire, the ponies were gone and
not an Indian was in sight. The in
genious Piegan thief. by making the
circuit of the passage. and the end OF
the island seventy times. had so de-
ceived his pursuers as to gain the
time necessary for his escape.
