tory, schools of learning have been the
very breath of life to the soul of Is
rael. Our fathers fought with the
sword Of the spirit. And 50 must we,
If we are to survive and be strong.
And SO I say unto you that If you
must fight with the sword Of the spirit,
then keep its fighting edge sharp and
keen. Do not let the college that is the
fountainhead of oynr spiritual life 60
through the country hat in hand like
beggar every year, beseeching the
means Of bare subsistence. Give the
college the sinews Of war by an elastic
system Of pro rata assessments Of its
annual expense on all our constituent
congregations, as you assess the ex-
pense of your clubs In dues, or Of your
cities In taxes. For the last silver bull
let wins the war. If the perpetual
lamp is to shine and illumine, TIM do
not stint the oil. What matter few
wretehed dollars or million of them,
compared with the glory Of the cause
for which all suffer, for which we all
sacrifice, but by which we all are ex-
alted as holy people. as the G.adia-

IN YOUTH THERE is TRUTH
Delivered His Opinion Entirely
Without Reservation.

A certain thrifty young man often
called on certain young lady, but
had never taken her out to theater
or picture show, or even to a tea
shop for cup of tea.
The family had noticed and often
commented on what they termed his
"stinginess," and all before the young
lady's ten-year-old brother.
One chilly night the youngster was
in the drawing room whilst the thrifty
young man was calling.
The caller, who was sitting close
to the fireplace and stretching forth
his hands to the cheerful blaze, sud
denly said:
ooh, how 1 do love to sit befor,

Tommy Knew Just How Surely the

Possession of Him.

Tommy was full of mischief. One
day his teacher spied him amusing
the beginners class by making funny
faces. Teacher shook her head at
Tommy and all settled down to work.
Tommy was caught repeating his an
tics. Teacher took Tommy by the
hand and they went into the hail..
Then she looked seriously at him and
said: MY little boy has been naughty
today and must stay here until he can
tell us he is sorry and will not be
naughty again."
In few minutes Tommy, with tear
full face, tiptoed up to his teacher and
said:

Teacher, trying to help him little,
said:
"What else, Tommy? What about

Gardens of Southern Spain Have :
Charm That Is Seen Nowhere
Else In Europe.

The gardens of Spain, with few
notable exceptions, were not laid out
on the grand scale Of those Of the
Italian villas near Rome, nor of the
more magnificent of the French cha
teaux, but they have a romantic flavor
Of their own and charm that Is
quite unlike that Of any other Euro
pean gardens-a charm that, In no
small measure, can be directly traced
to the influence Of the Moorish occu-
patton.
This Moorish influence Is particu-
larly apparent In the gardens of
southern Spain (and they, after all.
are the most characteristic, where
the vegetation is semi-tropic In char
acter, and where palms and myrtles
and thickets Of citron and orange
trees give a truly African quality to
the landscape. Perhaps as character
istic as any Of these southern gardens
are the Jardines del Alcazar In Seville.

side him, and his arm went about her
as If to shield her. She had heard
the sounds of the battle from afar !;
she had thought that Bruce was the
contestant, and her terror had left a
deep pallor upon her face; yet now
she gazed upon that frightful conflict
with strange and enduring calm
Both she and Bruce knew that there
was but one sure conQuerOr, and that
was Death. If the Killer survived the
fight and through the mercy Of the
forest gods spared their lives, there
remained the blizzard They could
conceive Of no circumstances whereby
further effort would be Of the least

burst Of strength was upon Simon;

His huge paw, with all his might be-
hind 1t, struck the weapon from ST.
mons hand.
1t shot through the air seemingly
almost as fast as the bullets it had
often propelled from its muzzle, and
struck the trunk Of a tree. So hard
it came that the lock was shattered;
they heard the ring of metal. The
bear rocked forward once more and
struck again. And then all the sound
that was left was the eerie complaint
Of the wind.
Simon lay still. The brave fight
was over. His trail had ended fitting
ly-in the grip of such powers as were
typical of himself. But the bear did
not leap upon him to tear his flesh.
For an instant he stood like a statue
in gray stone, head lowered, as IL in
a strange attitude Of thought. Then
the great grizzly uttered one deep
note and half-turned about. His eyes
rested upon the twan, but he did not
seem to see them.
Then he turned again and headed off
slowly. deliberately, directly into the
face Of the storm.

turned his attention back to Linda.

The horse on which was tied their
scanty blankets was miles away by
now; It's tracks were obscured in the
snow, and they could not find their
way to any shelter that might be con-
cealed among the ridges.
But before the question was finished,
strange note had come into his voice.
1t was as If his attention had been
called from his words by something
much more momentous. The truth
was that it had been caught and held
by a curious expression on the girls
face. All at once she sprang to her
feet.
"Bruce" she cried. Perhaps
there's a way yet. A long, long
chance, but maybe a way yet. Get

come with me-"
without waiting Tor MIN TO rise she
struck off into the storm, following
the huge footprints Of the bear. The
man struggled with himself, sum-
moned all that was left of his reserve
supply Of strength, and leaped up. He
snatched his rifle from the ground
where Simon had thrown it, and in an
instant was beside her. Her cheeks
were blazing.
Maybe 1t just means further tor
ture," she confessed to him, ''but don't
you want to make every effort we can
to save ourselves? Don't you want to
fight till the last breathe"
She glanced up and saw her answer
in the growing strength of his face.

of an old order-the last stand that
the forces of the wild had made
against conquering man. But there

peace.
The cavern that was revealed to
them had rock floor and had been
followed out by running water in ages
past. Bruce built fire at its mouth
Of some Of the long tree roots that ex-
tended down into 1t, and the life-giv-
ing warmth was a benediction. AL
ready the drifting snow had begun to
cover the aperture.

beside him in the soft glow of the
fire. eve have little food, and we

in supplication. But her voice had
regained the old merry tune he had

cred from the top while the cooking Is
going on. Cabbage, rutabagas, car
rots, potatoes are the vegetables usu-
ally cooked together. A nice, Fat
piece of corned beef with piece OF
fat pork makes a good flavor The
meat is put into the vegetable kettle
and cooked for an hour at simmering
temperature before the vegetables are
added. The cabbage is cut into quar-
ters, and If small two will be needed
for a family of five who are healthy
and like boiled dinners. A good, big
rutabaga, weighing three or four
pounds, should be cut into wedge
shaped pieces; the carrots, IL small,
may be cooked whole; otherwise they
are cut into halves and quarters. The
potatoes are best left whole, and
should be of uniform size. Cook
slowly for an hour or more, then
serve with vegetables arranged In al
ternating colors around the platter,
with the meat in the center. Inc
hash, which may be made from the
left-overs, is often as much enjoyed as
the original dinner. Chop the vege-
tables, add some of the broth and
chopped meat, stirring until we'll

to be added unless the meat Is very
salt. The broth is very nice and

PLAN FOR CLEANING SILVER
Common Table Salt and Boiling Water
Are UsefuI-Rub With Good
Abrasive Polish.

A satisfactory method for cleaning
household silver, according to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Is as follows: An enamel or
agate ware dish should be partly
filed with a cleaning solution of one
teaspoonful of common table salt to
each quart of water and placed d.
rectly on the stove to boil. A sheet
Of aluminium or clean zinc should
then be dropped into the dish and
the tarnished silver placed in contact
with this metal. 1t is best that the
silver be entirely covered with the
cleaning solution and that the solu-
tion remain at the boiling tempera-
ture. AS soon as the tarnish has been
removed the silver should be removed,
rinsed in clean water, and wiped with
a soft cloth.
Aluminium corrodes quickly in the
cleaning solution, so that aluminium
dishes of any value for culinary pur-
poses should never be used. Alum
mum ware, that would otherwise be
thrown away, or any inexpensive piece
of the metal. will serve very satisfac-
torily for cleaning silver. Zinc may
be used in place of aluminium, but 1t
becomes corroded and inactive In a
much shorter time. The electrolytic
method may be used as frequently as
is necessary to remove the tarnish,
but 1t is necessary to rub the silver
with some good abrasive polish only
as often as may be desirable to re-
store the FURNISHED appearance.

PRUNES GOOD in EMERGENCY
Addition Of Few Chopped Nut Meats
and Decorated With Whipped
Cream ls Attractive.

Unexpected company-and nothing
one wouldn't think of offering guests
who have come from a distance the
plain old prunes the children had for
lunch-and there isn't time to cook
anything. In one way or another al
most every housekeeper has been in
this dilemma. What one ingenious
woman did was to pit and mash the
luncheon prunes, and add to them
few chopped nut meats-half cup
full to a pint Of prune pulp. She
stirred in a tablespoonful of lemon
juice and two tablespoonfuls of sugar
and served the result with cream from
the top of the milk bottle. This des-
sert became SO popular she was called
on to prepare 1t frequently, and when
she wanted to make 1t look very at
tractive-and was not bridging an
emergency-she put 1t into individual
pastry shells and decorated 1t with
whipped cream. When she couldn't
get whipped cream she made me-
ringue of egg-white and sugar and
Drowned 1t delicately before serving.
The children liked this prune and
nut mixture in their school lunches
instead of preserves, occasionally, and
served on plain crackers or between
two crackers. 1t was appetizing with
a cup of tea. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture indorses this
pruna and nut mixture for these uses.
