Everything is taking such practical turns nowadays that even the dolls and funny things which are supposed to be for young peoples diversion are being shown in all manner of instruct i've dress and forms. We no longer see the old-fashioned array of paper dolls with wardrobes of gaudy tissue paper prodigally trimmed with flowers of ribbon and tinsel sashes. Fewer and farther between are the games which we used to play with thought less abandon, but which had no more morals nor instructive sides than a snake has hips. It is probably fine for the children that the toymakers have decided that they must be in structed as we'll as amused, for it is a bit hard on fond parents to attend to all these little details, when there is So much about the high cost of liv- ing to be worried over.
 In one of the country's largest toy shops they are making speciality this year of numerous games for girls, and, of course, a few for boys who will sit still long enough to bother with them.
 There are the most adorable boxes of clean, white wood, which when op- ened show an outfit for the small nurse, including cap, brassard for her arm and primer on first aid for small comrades, as well as all the medicinal properties, bandages and adhesive, all done up in neat, little bundles with a red cross on top. What could delight little girls heart more, and think of the real good she

could do, with little help in inter- preting the directions.
 There are sewing sets, with silk wound on cards and scraps of gay cloth to practice on. Some of these sets have notices to be worked, oth- CTS have designs in punch-work, and all of them are instructive, so there you are.
 Cunning are the little boxes of blocks, which, when put together with glue, make the most adorable sets of furniture. With little colored en- amel and few lessons in painting, a small girl could evolve whole house. full of furniture which, bought already finished, costs a prettier penny than most daddies can afford. Then the cunning little dresser covers, com- forts, patchwork quilts, lamp shades to fit ones finger, fancy pillows and the like can be made from scraps of silk in mothers basket. One little house. -furnisher l know saved a quill from her canary birds tail and made an adorable pen to put on her dolls desk.
 When one has made all these at tractive articles, one has a perfect right to ask mother to write Santa for one of the pretty new doll houses which he has been painting this year, There are the cunningest ones with little vines running up the side, and real awnings, and brick chimneys and a real porch and telephone inside. They are less than ten dollars, and they last a long time. There are cheaper one, lots of them, which could

be painted at home and made differ ent from those other people can buy.
 The Tinker family of toys continues to add to it's personnel until there are more of the funny folks than would fit into one's largest toy box. There are some new ones, similar to these, which are made of moving blocks" and may be put together in lots of in teresting ways.
 A fine game for large family and one which makes lots of fun is Creep ing Bugs" You know the kind that seem to be alive, the way they keep going when you start them? That is enough to tell about the game, for to know too much to start with would take all the fun away. It comes in a great big exciting box with huge bug on the outside.
 For the littlest folks, who do not need to bother with instructive toys, there are little painted beach sets; and birds and beasts with the funni- est faces of indestructible enamel to resist baby's teeth. And rubber dol lies with bright crocheted woolen skirts that will not shrink when they share baby's bath.
 And dishes! Patterns which moth CT cherishes among her incest posses. sions are being reproduced in tiny sets for daughters tea table. Plat ters and covered dishes are added tc the plates, cups and saucers which used to comprise even the most pre- tentious services. Tables to hold dish es, by the way, are too cunning fol , words. We see them painted in deli

cately colored enamels and on the bases are stenciled scenes from Mother Goose, or quaint little girls and boys.
 A new fad in dishdom is the assem- bling of breakfast kit, gayly flower ed, in cozy basket. The plates, tea pot, cream and sugar are nestled down inside, while the small knife, fork and spoon, the cups and some small nap kins are tied to the handle with ribbon bows.

Club
Books Excursion


The Sub-Mu-Loc club of this city
has succeeded in booking a date on
the new excursion steamer Capitol
for moonlight excursion dance on
the night Of Wednesday. Sept. 20 and
tickets are now being offered for
sale by all of the members.
The new steamer Capitol is owned
and operated by the Streckfus Steam
boat Line of st. Louis and was COM
pleted last spring in time to open
the season at Davenport, Iowa, on
Decoration Day, and since then has
been plying excursions continuously
at all of the river towns between St.
Louis and st. Paul, and is now en-
route to New Orleans where it will
continue to operate through the
winter.
Thirty five hundred passengers
can be accommodated on the five
decks, and the Dreamland Rainbow
Dancing Palace can take care of one
thousand couples. The arrangement
and interior decorations are unique
and very beautiful and the dancing
palace is super-ventilated so that an
even temperature can be maintained
at all times.
Eight large ocean going life boats
of the Lane type are carried under
davits and there are forty watertight
compartments in the hull, which
makes the Capitol unsuitable.

THE DEVIL LOOKS
ONLY FOR LIVE
ONES, SAYS cox

An unusual baptismal service was
held at Central Baptist church Sum
day night, at which time the pastor,
Ben Cox, baptized among others two
married couples, the wives being
cousins, and each couple entering the
water together. DR.. Cox said that
he had never before had just such
an experience.
Temptation" was the subject of
DR.. Cox's sermon Sunday morning.
An old lady," DR.. Cox said, "once
came to her pastor very much dis
couraged because the devil was al
ways tempting her. The wise pastor
replied DO not forget, my sister, that
the devil wastes no bait on dead
fish,
There are a great host of people
in Memphis who are perfectly easy
IN the service of the devil; he knows
ne has them already, and therefore
does not need to tempt them. They
are already led captive by the devil
at his will There are many Chris
tians in Memphis who seem to be
really born again-they have some
life, but seem to be affected with
partial spiritual paralysis. The
devils temptations do not seem, to
bother them very much either. 1t
goes without saying, that the more
spiritual you are and the closer you
live to Christ. the more the devil
covets you for his service; the more
insidious, insistant, and persistent
will be his temptations.
1T has been aptly suggested that
in this as in warfare, the devil has
three methods of attack. First, his
sudden siege, when he seeks to hurry
us blindfolded into sin. The mess of
pottage is all ready for a furnishing
Esau. The temptation Of Jesus to
make bread of stones after a forty
days fast. The devil knows how to
find the weak places, and our only
safety is in having on the whole
armour of God whereby we may be
able to resist all the wiles of the
DEVIL
Secondly, there is the method of
long siege in which he seeks to wear
us out. If we yield to him we shall,
like Elijah, find ourselves under the
Juniper tree, miserable and discour-
aged, instead of being happy in the
service of the Lord. A man sold his
farm for small price, and the buyer
soon after found a rich mine there
on. So may Christian sell his privi-
leges. If 1 remember correctly, some
rich diamond mines in Africa were
purchased for vest or a pair of
shoes. And thirdly. there is the
method of subtle strategy and cam
outage used wonderfully in the
recent world war; the devil has al
ways been the grand past master in
camouflage. He started this method
in the Garden of Eden and has been
following it ever since.
First, he tempted them to doubt
Gods word with the question: Hath
God said and when he had sue
ceeded in making her believe that the
fruit was good for food pleasant
to the eye and would make one
WISE his victory was complete.
Our only security against Satan
is the Savior. He was tempted in
all points like as we are, yet with
out sim and being tempted He is
able to succor them that are
tempted Thank God we can come
boldly to throne of grace and OBJ
tain mercy and find grace to help
in time of need"

he said, regardless of the stand of

Rev. Watkins, who has Just re-

has been completely abolished.
