Not only the woman was whipped, nor only
the man, but both OF them. The agents OF
the court entrusted with the duty of be-
slowing the punishment we're experts In
the welding of the cruel thongs. Each
blow was delivered with such skill that 1t
fell with equal force upon each culprits
body. The woman obtained no more mercy
than the man.
To punish the woman who has caused
her husband to STAY another man and let
the husband go free would be to make
extremely rare such conditions as Captain
Stokes found when he came home from the
army, upholders of Judge Craig assert. Tho
old saying that man always is to blame
where woman Is concerned, Is pure fiction,
these declare, for, they say, every wife is
queen Of herself, and that no man not her
husband can obtain her favor unless she
freely grants Il. She, therefore, is poten-
TALLY guilty of murder when she commits
a wrong, for she must expect that her hus-
band, il he discovers her, may be led to

In the case of Captain Stokes, the court

HELPED OUT REI4vING BULL
Kindly Act Of New Member Of Herd
' Something the Keepers Had
I; Never Seen Before.

Usually when new bull is taken
into the buffalo herd at Golden Gate
park in San Francisco his standing IS
promptly decided by challenge from
the head of the herd. The newcomer
either wins the fight and in turn Is ex-
allied to the rank Of sovereign or he
is defeated and shown his place. But
a new bull, Mogul recently proved to
be an exception. He was two years
old, fine example Of what a young
buffalo should be, and he seemed thor
oughly content to mind his own bust
ness and to let the other bulls mind
theirs. No one would have known
that there was new buffalo in the
herd.
One morning the keepers saw that
there was something in the air. Mogul
was shifting round the reigning bull.
They were apart from the herd, heads
down, and were moving round slowly.
It was the queerest beginning OF a
bullfight that the keepers had ever
seen. It appeared MS if Mogul would
knock out the old bull with one toss.
AS they moved round and round Mo-
gul seemed to be horning the other
bull In the eye, and the other bull did
not seem to be making the least re-
sistance. Then they pulled apart and
Mogul put down his head.
The old bull had a bunch Of thorny
cactus sticking over his right eye, and
Mogul was horning it off as best he
could with his clumsy short little
horns. Finally, after two more at
tempts, clrclfng round as before, ne
got the cactus off. and each moved
away about his own business Youths

Sunday School Notes

November a. The Power and Au.
thority of Jesus. Matthew s, LA, IA.
| II: Matt. 8, 1.1S.
Our lessons for the past three weeks
have brought before us the spiritual
teachings of Jesus, as set forth in the
Sermon on the Mount. All have been
impressed with the wonderful religious
truths which He at that time pro.
claimed to the world. They meant 4
revolution in the religious ideas, not
alone of the Jewish people, but those
protesting other religions. Our lesson
today presents to us another phase OF
the mission of Jesus to the world, the
curing OF physical disabilities. The les
son verses tell of the cleansing of a
leper; of the curing of the mother-ln-
law of the disciple Peter, and the COM
mand to a man afflicted with paralysis
to arise and walk, besides the doing or
hundreds of unnamed miracles which
are told of in a sentence In Matthew
9.35, where it says Jesus went about
all the cities and villages teaching in
the synagOgues and preaching the Cos
pei of the Kingdom. and healing all man
ner of diseases, and all manner of sick
ness"
The lesson today therefore, brings up
the great subject Of, the miracles per-
formed by Jesus. 1t will be recalled
that at no time did Jesus use His SUI
pernatural powers to help Himself. He
was asked to support Himself If he
should fall from the high pinnacle OF
the temple; to make bread for Himself
when He was hungry, but it was re-
membered that He refused to do these,
calling them temptations. He went
about on His missions on foot, accept.
ling the hospitality of the people and
saying Of Himself that He had nowhere
to lay His head When we consider
the miraculous powers of Jesus as a
teacher of spiritual things. and his mi
raculous sinless life, we are not sur
prised that He had miraculous power
over physical things. The religion
which He set forth has cured the spir.
Ritual ailments of millions of people. and
lit is but the natural things that this
power could be exercised in physical
ailments as weA. AS the Son of God
spiritual and physical ailments were
the same to Him in satisfying the needs
of those who We're under the dominion
|of pain of body, or pain of spirit.
The peoples of those days were need
ing sign of supernatural power to
give credit to what Jesus said. 1t will
be remembered that the Master remark
ed at one time "Believe me for My very
works sake 1t would seem that his
appeals to their better natures were
unavailing, and their hearts were hard
and that His hearers would not believe,

Spiders, as Companions.

OF all creatures to choose as pets
spiders seem to be the strangest. Yet
many famous men have formed real
friendships With spiders. Beethoven,
when studying the violin at the age OF
seven years, had spider so accustom-
ed to him that it would crawl on to
his arm while he was practicing. OF
Paganini it is said that whenever he
played a certain air on his violin
spider approached him and stood still
listening until he had finished. Gaetry.
author of "Richard Occur de Lion,
tells of spiders that used to perch mo-
tionless upon the piano while no
played.

for all those who have come in contact
with it. n.-
1t is thus one of the magnificent
claims OF the missionaries of the cross
that they have spread not only re-
ligion which has uplfted 'thes people
spiritually, but has revolutionized their
methods of living, assisted in alleviat-
ing their sufferings and given them
sympathy for another. 1t is impossible
in the brief space of this column to
enter at length into the possibilities of
thought which could be brought for

briefly, expecting and hoping that
thoughtful readers will proceed with
thinking along these lines. and If they
do, the lesson of today will prove one
