Edna to follow out Colliton's instruc-

The apparent calmness with which
Edna Murphy accepted her lot when

COnif to illustrate the doorway Of the

him point out where the principal
actors in the tragedy were standing
during the shooting. Every effort Of

display was ovcrruled until Coniff had
the whole thing before the jury. Then

It was further brought out in the

proved and developed. We have to get oil out of the earth, and coal; raise food on it's surface. The inhabitants must mingle if they are to develop 70 advantage. Money is an agent in all these things, a handy tool. Who has it makes less difference than people suppose, if only so be it does it's work. The simplest life is not necessarily the best. The sheep is not the ideal of man. On the contrary, man was made in the image of a Being Of immense resources, immense powers if not Himself of immense activity, still a prodigious cause of activity in others. There is more than one kind of job in this world, and more than one manner of life that can be reconciled to the teachings of Christ. The aim, the use, is every thing. The quantity of money in- volved is unimportant. All you can get out of money anyhow, is board and lodging, opportunities for edu- cation, and power. If your lodging is too expensive it is power, and if you have too much to eat it is disadvantage and in the end taxes your strength ard maybe makes you i'll. If you ni.suse power it does harm. It IS the spirit of man that is important, not money, one way or the other.-E. s. Martin in Harp er's Magazine for February.

THE TROUBLE ABOUT MONEY

The trouble about money IS the disposition to lie down on it and let at carry one. A good many rich people lose their punch. They get used to a manner of life with ample provision of money in it and don't want to change. That makes them too insistent on the existing order. It makes them see the ma terial things too big and tends to cloud their spiritual vision. The spiritual things are really all there is that is permanent. But this world, though temporary, is very much with us. We have to, live in it and be of it. Other people are the same. A great mechanism of life has to be kept up. As pop ulation increases it has to be i'm

for her friendliness and absentmind-

apolis on a shopping tour. She
planned to return on a late afternoon

store to store. She bought several
articles at a department store and
was walking rapidly toward the exit
thinking where she would 60 next.
In her haste she dropped one Of her
