In order that garment may enjoy
the fullest distinction of which it is
capable, it must reflect the spirit of
the season. Winter and fall have
their opportunities for the suggestion
of comfort, warmth and snugness.
Spring and summer offer seasonable
harmony of color and lightness of
weight. No better medium for the
reflection of nature S moods for these
seasons exists in milady's wardrobe
than the sweater.
This popular garment, although as
ISOLATED originally with comfort and
utility has entered unchallenged the
field of stylish apparel. There it is
rapidly gaining in favor. Not only

day, you see, so right across the pond
he ran, with Madam Puss after him.
Mr.. Mouse was very light and Madam
Puss was plump, for she had been
we'll fed.
When they came to the thin ice, over
went Mr.. Mouse safely. But, alas |!
poor Madam Puss 1t was hard enough
anyway trying to chase mouse over
the ice, but when she came to the
thin place 1t cracked and in went her
front paws, and for minute it looked
very bad for poor Madam Puss.
Mr.. Mouse found 1t hard to run over
the ice, but he did not stop when he
heard the cracking. He kept right
on and reached the bank on the other
side and up he went.
He was pretty cold, as well as
scared, and when he came to a place
where he could run in he did not wait
to look it over, and as it was his lucky
day he found he was in house where
there was plenty of food,
Mr.. Mouse was soon nibbling away
in the pantry and thinking himself
very fortunate to have found such a
nice place for his new home when a
great disturbance in the kitchen made
him stop and peek through a crack in
the door.
There was the very Madam Puss
who had chased him and the cook
making great fuss over her because
she was so cold and wet.
poor Puss," cook was saying. "How
did you get so wet and cold? You shall
have some nice, warm milk and will
fix a place for you under the stove"
"All that fuss over a Puss," said Mr.
Mouse, "and she will scratch and drink
up the cream, while / never harm any,
one and only eat the crumbs l find
lying about.
But I guess l will stay here until
my family comes back A well-fed cat
is not dangerous, and If l am careful
not to eat anything but crumbs l am
sure they will never know l am here
and not set trap for me-"
So there he lived, and when the
sun was shining one day away he
ran to his old home, where he found
plenty to eat and his hole in the wall
still vacant.
1t was a long trip around the pond
for the ice had melted, but Mr.. Mouse
on the way said he did not mind that,
for-the longest way round is the short
est way home sometimes.
"If had tried to cross that pond
now" said he, Il might have drowned
or some animal might have caught me,
and though crossing the pond was the
shortest in distance, if / had never
reached my old home, it would have
been the longest way for me, and

NARROWED 20 YEARS ON ISLE
American Sole Survivor of Vessel
Which Was Wrecked on One of
Caroline Islands.

Manila. P. I.-Shipwrecked and
marooned for twenty years on one
Of the Caroline islands, is the
experience of James Howard, Amer
lean, and sole survivor of the Amer
lean bark, HoratiO, which went on
the shoals of Kusai island In 1901.
The news of Towards condition
was brought here by DR.. William II.
Hobbs of the University of Michigan,
who has been engaged In seismic re-
search work.
Doctor Hobbs said Howard was
cared for by the natives and finally
became agent at Panope for German
Trading concern, which place he held
until the japanese took over the is-
lands.
A year and half ago, a stroke of
paralysis made Howard almost help
less. Since that time he has. been
taken care Of by Chief Nampei of
Roukiti.
"Chief Nampei has American blood
in him, speaks English well and is a
man Of sterling integrity" said Doctor
Hobbs. Towards case was laid be-

had some cousins that lived near by
and he decided to call on them.
Mr. Mouse was hurrying along, for
the snow was not so comfortable as the
floors of the house where he lived,
when all at once who should he see
right in front of him but Madam Puss.
There was not minute to think,
for she had seen him. Mr.. Mouse
knew by the switching Of her tail, as
well as by her big eyes There was
no place to run for shelter. 1t was all
open around him, SO he dashed off
without knowing where he was going.
But luck was with Mr. Mouse that
day, as you will see. He was on a
pond that was frozen over-that is,
almost frozen over, for right in the
middle of that pond was one very thin
place.
Mr.. Mouse did not know about this

At first Mr.. Mouse did net care. He

there were plenty Of crumbs and bits

Constipation of the bowels is a
stoppage of the sewerage system that
removes waste matter from the body.
1t is as necessary that your bowels
move regularly once each day to car
ry off this waste as it is that the

open and carry off the waste from the
house. If you would enjoy good
health, keep your bowels regular by

GREATEST ASSET OF THE
CHURCH. IS SUBJECT

QExtracts from sermon by w. A.
Gresham, at the First Christian
church, Sunday morning, on the top
ic, 1.-THE Greatest Asset of the
Church.D
The need of the church is not
wealth SO much as it is conservation OF
wealth; not so much more members
as conservation of its present men,
hers; not more organization, but Il
unified and co-ordinated purpose in
organization; not external attractions
so much as internal adornment OF
Christian character. In brief. the
church needs conservation, unity, vi
sion and missionary conscience.
But the greatest visible and tam
gible asset of the church is its young
people. In safeguarding them, older
persons, particularly parents and
church members, should feel keen re-
sponsibility in protecting and directing
their social life. Statistics show that
of the young people in criminal courts
so per cent are from well to do homes.
Young life seeking adventure, and
with energy demanding expression, is
given too often to crimes and misdc-
mesnors such as innocent parents are
unwilling to attribute to their sons
and daughters. True, not all trend to
evil, but the numbers who do, inno-

sides eating of the turkeys and trim
minis, there were stories in the inim-

many of the colleges and universities
of our country the religious faith of
students is undermined. William
Jennings Bryan is right when he says
that although we are not permitted by
law to nave the bible taught in the
public schools, we should bcstir our

hire teachers who will not destroy the
religious faith of the pupils who at
tend them. The same applies to pro-
fessors in our colleges and universities.
Last of all, our young people need
the spiritual companionship of the
older ones. When they do well, they
should be commended. We should re-
joice in their victories and tell them
SO. In their struggles, we should
show a heart interest and a sympa-
