all their teaching. Their difficulty
had lain in their partnership, for they
had sought the thing they desired and
had found it and been satisfied to let
it rest there. Jesus had learned those
wonderful old stories with his child's
prattle and had been so fascinated
with their wichery that through all
His growing years He had studied
them with no hobby to be proven, but
with the desire to know the truth they
contained. No sectional history will
make an American and the long per-
sistance of the cleavage between the
solid South and the Yankee North re-
veals the partizan character of the
teaching. No sectarian school can
make an American, for the very name
reveals an over-emphasis upon one set
of facts. No class dominance can be
tolerated, for it is a refusal to know
all the relationships of all the life.
THE DUTY OF AN OPEN MIND.
These men were all blind to the
truths that were presented. They had
the fighting instead of the open mind.
Unable to answer the words, they re-
sorted to blows to cover their lack. No
idea can march through such a mood.
Truth must be followed wherever it
leads and open loyalty to its teaching
is the very foundation of any demo-
cratic institution. The Pharisees were
as blind after the discussion as they
were before. The Sadducees refused
to believe in Immortality and sought
to crush the church even after the res
direction. The Scribes still quibbled
when Jerusalem fell. There was no
loyalty to the truth, nor was there
any Granny through which it might
enter their minds. No democracy can
endure under the guidance of any
group or person who refuses all the
light that is possible upon any ques-
ton that may arise. The great appeal,
the clear conclusions, the scourging
lash of exposed chicanery could not
alter their determination Therefore
their nation is numbered with the lost.
| Only the mind open to Gods truth and
the will to follow it is sufficient for
the life of today.

THE DUTY OF LARGER
KNOWLEDGE.

These men were partizans, but had
all failed to so study their party be-
liefs as to be able to guard them in
conflict. Regularly the Herodians
handled the Roman coins with no care
that such use implied anything other
than hatred for the entire system.
The Sadducee accepted the law as the
final authority for his creed and re-
jected all else, yet it was within that
very law upon which they based their
rejection of future life that Jesus
found such evidence that they were
left speeches. and unable to defend
their position. The lawyer had made
those very Scriptures his life-study,
but Christ took a phrase from one and
laid beside it another from a different
book and formed so perfect a sum-
mary of all the law that the Scribe
could not withhold his admiration.
And in the counter question concern
ing the Son of David the religious
leaders had never caught the impHca-
ton that the words held and were
shamed by their limited understand
ing of the text upon which they based

THE DUTY OF DISCERNING
JUDGMENT.
On that wonderful Tuesday in the
Temple courts where Jesus held the
crowd under the spell of his words,
there came to Him new delegation
asking a question that seemed to spell
disaster whatever might be the an
swer. They fairly chuckled as they
saw Him on top of the fence with dogs
in either field Small wonder at their
silence when He walked the fence into
regions beyond their vision and es-
capped The peril. They had failed in
their judgment, not discerning that
there was something bigger than par
tizanship. They were party men in
stead of nation or world men. And
the entire trouble throughout that
great debate was that the party men
came with party questions before a
world man and there could be but one
result in such a contest. The Man
whose Judgment took in all the rela-
tionships of the thing under discussion
worsted the others every time. Politi-
clan, buffoon or dialectitian found the
same result-utter defeat This
points clearly to the need of cultivat-
ing always among the citizens the
power of discerning Judgment so that
without party bias, but in the light of
all the facts, decisions may be reached
that will benefit all instead of my
party, right or wrong" Herodian,
Sadducee and Pharisee failed alike in

sought him for profit. Sportsmcn put
forth every device to slay him for re-
putation's sacke. And still 1.-The old
wolf went unsc,thcd about his work
of destruction.
Crcdulous people said he was a
charmed thing. Others attributed his
immunity to a wisdom greater than
beast ever before possessed. Still
others said he escaped by plain luck
the mysterious thing that adhercs
to some animals rs to some men. In
whatever way they explained his un-
canny clusivcness, everybody feared
hin'-pcrhaps not consciously, very
rarely openly, but there was no man
throughout that region who did not
shoulder blades when, alone or in the
dark, he thought OF this gray devil of
the desert.
All kinds of stories got abroad. This
thing, they said, was not Il wolf--not
merely a wolfe. They believed that ma
turc had p2rpetrated Il monstrosity,
scSSing the craftincss. of both and the
cruelty of hell. In public opinion he
had al 1.-The qualities of the Were wolf
Of Old World legends.
No wonder that the tclephons hum
med when the word went out that a
hunter, sent by the United States De-
partmcnt Of Agriculture to protect
the livestock industry, had killed the
criminal wolf. That world ended a
nine years rcgin Of dread, during
which the Stockmcn around Custer had
paid tribute to this wolf to the extent
of S25,0 900 worth of live stock. And
mere money loss was not the whole of
the horrible toll he took When he
killed for food he took only the choic-
est animals, but sometimes he killed
in atrocious ways for the mere sake Of
killing. Often he wounded cattl,,
breaking tkcir legs, biting off their
tails, mutilating them in unspcakablc
ways.
-Four years ago his mate was killed.
He never took another and many pco-
pie supposed that he devoted himself
to revenge for her death. Later on,
l." attached to himself two coyotes,
not as equals, but as servants. He
never permitted them to come near
him, and they could feed from his
kills only after he bimsclf had finish
ed. They Travelled far out on his
hanks, giving him warning of ambush
or approaching danger and adding to
the atmosphere of mystery that sur
rounded him.
All Tactics Failed

from 500 to $500, failed to bring in

dogs had failcd-thc stockmcn tried a
roundup. Having, rs they thought,

riders started in Il great circle and
closed up. This, like all the other de-
vices, was unsuccessful. Some of the

that they would have to board the

BOYS SUGGESTION ALL RIGHT
Thirteen-Year-old Had Remembered
What He Had Been Taught
About Electricity.

through its regular Monday electric
washer route. Incidentally the base
ment was damp, because there had
been no furnace fire.

to wiring the clothes she found an

short circuit in the motor. After
several attempts to wiring the clothes
before the current got in its work,
she was about ready to give up and

old Harry, who knows all about Edi-
son and Franklin, 'Tll bet If you put
on your rubbers, so the current can't

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved TO be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. BY enclosing ten cents to DR..
KiImer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and

Woman Rents Whole House to Tenant,
But Continues to Occupy Part
Of It Secretly.

Philadelphia Occupancy of Sc
cret room in building which she had
leased in it's entirety to Mrs. Bertha
Nj. Nelson of Philadelphia. during the
full peroid of the lease, resulted in
a decision by Judge Repetto, in Allan
tic city, N. j., that Mrs. K. Louise
Barrett must pay the sum of $4OO as
a fair rental for the room.
Discovery of the strange abode OF
the owner of the house did not occur
until several months after the lease
had been executed and possession
taken by the tenant. Mrs. Barrett had
built a room adjoining the porch and
access to it was made by a secret
stairway. The room was entirely shut
off from the rest of the house.
Attempts to dispossess the owner
failed and finally suit was instituted
for rental. Mrs. Nelson rented the
premises for the sum of $500.
