C. r. MOVEMENTS
 SUCCESS PREDICTED
DIR. REYNOLDS OPTIMISTIC
Prospects of Achieving Goal Increased 30 Per Cent in Past 30 Days.
 He Says.

Little Rock, May 12.-Dr. J. H. Reynolds, director general of the Christian education movement, who was in Little Rock this week, declares that interest in and enthusiasm for the movement is growing rapidly throughout the entire south, and that 1 the prospects of reaching the goal in the single week of active campaign has increased 50 per cent in the past 30 days.
 q have just returned from im- portant centers in the bounds of the NJ. E. church south," Dr. Reynolds said; land in every section I found both pastors and laymen actively en- gagged in the work of the movement. Of course, in some localities I heard something of financial depression, hard times and tightness of money, but nowhere did I hear the flat state ment that the financial objective would not be attained.
 "The financial directors in the sev- eral conferences are among the most optimistic men l met, and the con- ference secretaries are sending in en- couraging reports concerning the in terest of the people Tn Christian ed ucation. Late reports indicate that the life service, spiritual resources and Christian stewardship program are fulfilling expectations. It is very gratifying to note the interest shown in the education movement by the Ep- worth Leagues and Sunday schools. l am confident that never before in the history of our church have the people been so fnlly aroused on the subject of christian education as at the present time.
 Il have on my desk letters from some of the leading business men in the south, men of large means and broad vision, and to man they agree that our financial aims are timely and each promises his hearty support. Several large gifts have already been announced, One large donation has bee nmade by leading layman under promise that we do not use his name"
 Rev. J. J. Stowe, D. D., stewardship secretary of the Christian educa- tlonal movement, in speaking of tith- ing and stewardship as it is now be- ing presented to the members of the church, said:
 The church cannot be silent on the subject of money and do it's duty 70 God and the world. Money will never save the world, but the world will nev- CT be saved without money. Money that belongs to God and is kept back from him is the greatest obstacle to spiritual development.
 Contributions of Frotestants for all purposes in 1918 were S249.000,- 900. That was daily per capita of two cents seven mills per member. Seventh-Day Adventists gave eleven cents six mills. A billion dollars a year for missionary and educational work means an average daily per capi- ta contribution of thirteen cents sev- en mills per member. The total wealth of the United States now is S24O.- 0oo 1000, 0,000, of this sum, southern Methodists own S8,O0C,0 100000. The centenary and educational campaigns are needed to save our people from greed and selfishness."

 The little party then moved out to the street. Gardiner had regained his smooth manner, and gave some final directions about the road.

 "So long," called Gardiner. "so long, and good luck"
 "So long, an good luck" repeated Riles. He was trying to play the game but, as Gardiner often reminded him. he had no imagination. It would have been quite impossible for Riles, on his own initiative, to have thought of wishing the Harrises good luck" on the journey they were about to com mence. They were interesting types of villains-one, gentlemanly, suave, deep and resourceful the other coarse, shallow, slow-witted and brutal.

HOPE INSTEAD OF DESPAIR
Inscription Suggested for Portal Of British Institution Would Seem
 Peculiarly Happy.

Above the entrance to the prison on Dartmoor, Eng, which is now to be done away with, two Latin words are cut into the stone, which may be ren- dered Spare the vanquished," and it was in this spirit the French prison CTS in the Napoleonic wars as we'll as American prisoners in the War of 1S12 were received and treated, and in time allowed to live on parole in the neigh boring villages and towns.
 Stories of these refined and charm ing hostages have delighted the heart of youthful readers of many genera tions, and the work done by them in carving and carpentering is still care fully treasured in many a home in Dartmoor to the present day. Little could they have imagined that the fine air would make DartmOor as famous resort as some of the highlands of Switzerland, and that after having be- come a convict prison about 60 years ago, the place of their incarceration would be turned into an institution for training lads on the BSfStal sys- tenn. The boys will have freedom. and will be acquiring a knowledge of farm ing and reclamation work, as well as other means of gaining a living and fitting them to become valuable mem bers of society. The boys will be merely hostages, and another legend should be carved over the gateway, this time something more suitable to the occasion, such as "Take hope. all you who enter here."-Christian Sci ence Monitor.

HARD TO EXPLAIN POISONING
Scientists Unable to Tell Why Bites of Some. Animals Are Fatal and
 Others Innocuous.

Scientists in Great Britain have been greatly interested in the recent case of a monkey bite resulting in the death of the king of Greece, says a London dispatch. The result is that a study is being made of the effects of bites from various animals. Inasmuch as the monkey is what is known as a "clean feeder,' it seems extraordinary that the bite of such an animal should produce the fatal poisoning of a hu- man being.
 It does not, however, appear that the malignancy of an animals bite can be measured by what it feeds upon. A dog is carnivorous crea- ture, yet its bite seldom produces seri- ous results, while on the other hand the bite of a horse or a donkey fire. quently results in poisoning. Only a few weeks ago a woman died from being bitten by a donkey, while a man lost hand through being nipped on the thumb by a horse

NOTHING YOU MIGHT NOTICE
Scottish Farmland and Parisian V!s- itor on a Par as Far as. Meals
 Were Concerned.

James B. Sweeney, the Knights of Columbus delegate who heroically saved Frances prettiest girl from death at the Folies Bergere in Paris, was discussing, at his Brooklyn home, his trip abroad.
 "The restaurant prices in Paris" he said, "are incredible. A simple din- her at fashionable place costs S20, and even then it is difficult to get enough to eat. The portions"
 MT. Sweeney laughed.
 -"the portions remind me of the Scottish farmhand's porridge.

 ""That dispae natter replied Jock gloomily; it'll no droon."
 "The farmer glared at him.

the lines of the instructions already given him. He was to cash the agreement and wire the proceeds to Harris.
 Then followed long anxious days. Fortune seemed to hang on Bradshaw's success in making an immediate sale of the farm. It was a large order, and yet Harris felt confident a buyer would be found. The price asked was not unreasonable, especially when 1t was remembered that the crop would go to the purchaser, and was now al- most ready for the binder. Bradshaw was in constant touch with well-to-do farmers from the South who were on the lookout for land, and his own banking facilities would enable him to forward the cash as soon as a sale was assured, without waiting for actual payment by the purchaser. So Harris was confident in the midst of his anxiety.

have a clear, bright day for making candy, and if inexperienced use but a pound of sugar at a time. To one pound of sugar add three-quarters of cupful of boiling water and one-half tea spoonful of cream of tartar. Stir the sugar and water until we'll dissolved, then when beginning to boil do not stir or jar, to avoid granulation. Test by using ice water for dipping; this is the important moment in fOndant making. When a drop falls in the iced water, making a soft ball which can be picked up in the fingers, remove the Sirup at once from the fire and set the sauce pan where 1t will cool without being jared. When cool enough to bear the finger, begin to stir with a wooden spoon until creamy and smooth or it may be poured while hot over a but tered marble slab and worked when cool In either method it should be kneaded into a smooth, doughy mass and set aside, we'll covered, to rfpen. This foundation may be used in all sorts of bon bons, creams, nougat and fancy candies.

 Oat and cornmeal Muffns.-Melt two tablespoonfuls of shortening in one cupful of hot cooked oatmeal 1; add one teaspoonful of salt and one egg beaten light, with three-fourths of cupful of milk. Mix all together thoroughly. Mix and sift together two cupfuls of cornmeal, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-fourth of a cup full of sugar, and stir into the first mix ture; bake in a hot oven in a we'll greased muffin pan about twenty-five minutes

 "No, mean that we'll come through and they'll come after us. My idea Is not to take any chances, but to sell the property, or Us good as sell It, De- fore we buy it So l sent govern ment report on 1t to this syndicate, as heard they were looking out for coal lands in the West, and just took the liberty of offering it to them for cool quarter of a million, and gave them Nntil tonight to accept or refuse, by wire. I'm a little anxious for an answer, although if they don't take it others will. You see, the old fellow that owns it simply hasn't any idea what it's worth. He has lived in the hills until he looks like one of 'em, and a satchelful of money in real bills will simply dazzle him. A check wouldn't serve the purpose; he'd be suspicious of it, and he'd come down to investigate, and some one would be sure to crimp our deal"
 . And suppose I don't like the look of the mine when I see it?"
 "Then you bring your money 'back down with you and put 1t into farm lands, or anything else that takes your fancy. After you look it over, if you don't want to go in on it, Mr. Har- ris, perhaps Riles and I can raise enough ourselves to swing the deal, but you see we thought of you from the first. and we will stay with our original plan until you have a chance to decide one way or another"
 "Well, that sounds fair" said Allan, and his father nodded. "But we haven't sold the farm, and until we do I guess there isn't much money in sight"
 "Bradshaw'n sell the farm quick enough if I send him word," his fa- ther assured him. "He may not get it all in money, but he'll get a good part of it, and he has ways O raisin' the balance so longs the security is good. I've half mind t wire him t close er out'
 At this moment there came knock on the eoor, and boy presented telegram. for Gardiner. He opened 1t, read it, and emitted a whoop like a wild Indian. "They're coming through" he shouted, looming through! How does half of two hun dred and fifty thousand dollars look to you, MT. Harris?"
 Harris reached out eagerly for the telegram, while Allan, his arm thrown over his fathers shoulder, read it in boyish excitement:
 If investigation confirms govern ment reports we will pay two hundred fifty thousand. Our representative leaves at once for personal interview"
 The name at the end of the tele- gram was unknown to either Harris 1t was one to conjure with in the financial world. Riles excitement was scarcely less, than Allan's. Gardiner chOked flood of questions on his lips with a quick imperative glance. Even Riles did not know that the telegram had been written a few doors down the street by a stoutish man in a pepper-and-salt suit.
 "I'll take a chance" said Harris, at last. "I'n take a chance"
 Chance nothing!" interjected Gar diner, with momentary abruptness. Tt was a chance a minute ago; it's a certainty now. It's the cinch of a lifetime"
 "Where's some paper?" asked Allan. Lets get a telegram away right off,
 Gardiner produced notebook and, at Harris dictation, drafted a tele- gram to Bradshaw. directing him to dispose of the farm at once along

Pluck and Poverty.

Not the least admirable characteris- tic of men and women who have had a lifelong struggle against poverty F that they have struggled against IL purely for the sake of self-respect- There is perhaps no more heroic figure than that of the careful little mother of family who week by week tackles the meager family budget with gal lant determination to make the most of 1t and to rest content at that. Less plucky spirits "let things manage themselves" fall into debt, and in gen. eral follow a haphazard mode of life

and Allan Examined 1t With h.
 terest
 The offense of one against society was wholly intellectual; of the other, al- most wholly physical. Gardiner fully appreciated the difference, and in his heart he felt a contempt and loathing toward Rifles which he concealed only @. a matter of policy. And he had worked out in his mind a little plan by which Riles, when his usefulness was ended, should be shuffled off with out any share in the booty. At pres ent he tolerated him because of neces- sity. There was work before them for which Rifles was peculiarly qualified.
 The Harrises went at once to ,4 liv- cry stable, where they arranged for j team and outfit. They then bought some cartridges for the gun, and a small handbag in which to carry the money.
 When Harris presented himself at the bank wicket and asked for the full amount to his credit in cash, the sal low-faced teller turned a trifle paler still and slipped into the managers OHce A moment ldtef IHe nauaSer himself appeared before them.
 That's a pretty heavy order on a country bank, MT. Harris. Of course we could give it to you in exchange but to pay twenty thousand dollars OF whereabouts in bills will drain us to al- most our last dollar. Can't you use 8 marked check, or drRft on Calgary bank?"
