DO you think you are setting
a proper example by doing such

I dreamed one night not long

OF mansions in the sky"
30 begins a pIaIntlve song
which returns TO haiiow the
thoughts OF the much used writ
er. but the dream he wishes TO
record Is not OF mansions IN the
say but OF dwellings here on
earth.
Ii seemed he was carried in the
spirit on a tour of investigation
as TO the conditions of livlns
quarters commonly called homes.
Not that all he saw were not
homes Of a type satisfactory 70
those living therein but a stand
ard seems 10 have been set where
By he was to judge. He was first
taken 10 a house where every
thing spoke of wealth. The
granite walls and the marble halls
were indications that all Other
appointments and appearance
would be on an equally rich
standard. And so they were. But
the standard set for adjudginf
was not IN respect TO these but
to other qualities less real 70 the
naked eye and more real TO the
eye Of sense. Music, reading,
games and a company of congen-
ial people were there but | mis-
sed the owner. He was absent
and because Of his absence a feel
ing pervaded the atmosphere of
discreetness, a cold respect albeit
Of keen admiration.
Then he was whisked away and
set down in a settlers cabin. 1t
seemed he had changed worlds.
The room was stuffy and the
air foul. Looking up he saw the
rough boards which made a cell
ing wet with sweat from the heat
Of the rusty kitchen stove and the
cold Of the snow above which had
found its way in through the
leaky roof. Four children hud-
died behind the stove afraid of
the strangers and sick with
desease. In an adjoining room
lay a baby. dead. Want desease,
ignorance had made a vile place
Of what should have been at
least a dwelling place. No music.
reading, games or toys. No con-
genial company but a mother
verging on sickness, in despair
and grief. A father in distress
without the means of making his
loved ones comfortable and too
ignorant TO know how.
Again the spirit babe him fol-
low and Immediately he was seat
ed in a comfortable dwelling. The
appointments were not luxurious
but seemed TO fill the need. The

games, toys were here. Young
people and children mingled their
voices now in song and now in
laughter. The happy parents
seemed TO be a part of the fun
itself and Of the songs. There
seems to have been no want.
Disease and ignorance were stran-
gers. But a presence was there
that was absent at the other
homes. The secret was revealed
by an inscription on the wall.
The Lord Hath Been Mindful of
Us"
Then the writer awoke and
mused-~Was it a dream?" he
asked himself. and the reply was
Too real for comfort. but thank
God for the last home"

Scarcity Of Hurricanes.

No undue alarm should be coca
stoned on the part of public regard
Ing the early appearance Of hurricanes
from the West Indies this year, de-
clares the United States weather
bureau. Referring TO the recent
storms in the Caribbean sea and the
Gulf of Mexico. officials Of the bureau
state that although 1t Is unusual to ex-
perience hurricanes In the month OF
June. the records of the bureau do not
show that early storms Of this char
acter signify an increase in activity
In the later months of the hurricane
season.
A record Of all the West India hurri-
canes that have been reported since
the first voyage of Columbus Is on file
in the marine division of the weather
bureau. and contains great deal OF
interesting, II tragic. information.
From this record it appears that hurri-
canes have occurred In June In only
eight years during the last century.
Only one Of these, 1885. was marked
by a greater than average number OF
storms for the remaining months.

Use Wild Grab Apples.

Perhaps you have shifted the elus-
i've. spicy gusts Of fragrance from wild
crab-apple blossoms In the spring or
year. but you may not yet have dis
covered the value Of those blossoms
when by autumn they have turned in
to ripe little crab apples, says the
Woman's Home Companion. They
have excellent jellying properties.
which make the fruit valuable not
only by itself alone, but particularly
in combination with fruits which
would not make jelly Of themselves.
Moreover, they add zest anu flavor
to insirid fruits. The wild "crabs"
cook up very soft but do Lot get
mushy, and though the skins are
tough, they are easily removed.
1t would be a patriotic duty for the
housewife to make use Of these wild
native fruits and SO justify their pres
ervatiOn, for at present they at'e too
widely being cut down as worthless.

is a call for celebration. Said Ex-Presi-
dent, Theodore Roosevelt, Most GER
tainly there should be a celebration of
the Four Hundreth Anniversary of the
Reformation. John Wannamaker said,
Zone can hardly look at the sky with
out seeing Luther's proclamation, THE
Just Shall live By Faith"
E~verybody's dinner got cold in Wurms
when Luther came to answer for his
faith and acts. Everybody tried to see
him in the streets. He was the idol of
the people, the fear of the foreigner,
the champion of rights.
He was fearless. Though often i'm
portuned to give up the journey, he
said, Il will go to Wurms though there
are as many devils as there are tiles on
the roof-tops."
When called on to recant he said, I'm
less | am convicted by Scripture or by
right reason, ] neither can nor will re-
can't. 1t is neither right nor safe to act
against conscience and the Word of God.
God help me, Amen.
In taking this stand he became the
first-born of American citizens. He gave
courage to Puritan and all lovers of liber-
ty as they re-echo the same conviction.
The 4OOth Anniversary.
This event is being celebrated by the
millions of Lutherans and others. In the
United States all the Lutheran congre-
cations observe the 18th of April, the
4OOth anniversary Of the great event.
The Lutheran congregations of the Vir
gin Islands also keep the festival.

Ardmore, It was decided at a meeting
Of the school board at the high school
building last night The board specified,
however, that all teachers must be re-
commended by Superintendent c. w.
Richards, and approved by the board
The Denver plan calls for the pu.
pills to be classified in groups of

ers Of their own denomination. The
instruction. however, is to be con.
Quoted after school hours. Credit will
be given every pupil for the points
made in examinations on bible study.
The board also decided to retire the
$4,000 in junior high school bonds
which will be due next February. This
action was recommended by Superin-
tendent Richards inasmuch as retir-
ing the bonds at this time would
allow one half of one per cent dis
count.
Fuel oil will be used exclusively for
heating Of the senior and junior high
school buildings this winter. It was
pointed out that three barrels of oil
are equal to one ton OF coal in heat
units. With the present low price Of
