The Light of Life
Thy word is a lamp unto my fee
nd a light unto my path.-P.
1906.
One secret of the vitality and
power of the Bible is that it lies
so near to the throbbing heart of
the world.
Its humanity is no less mani
fest, no less potent, than it's di-
vinity.
There is life in it, and life is
always interesting.
We need to be on our guard
against any method of interpret.
ing these Scriptures which would
make them shadowy and unreal.
When they are regarded chief
ly as a collection Of mystical
charms, a mine where we may
dig for doctrines, or a compiIa-
ton Of forms of sound words.
their. best influence is lost.
A desiccated Bible will have
small power with anybody ex-
cept the superstitious.
We ought to be grateful that
1t did not fall from heaven like
the fabulous statue Of Diana of
the Ephesians; nor was it whisp.
cred into any mans ear by a pig.
con after the fashion in which
Mahomet said that he received
the Koran; but God caused it to
grow upon the earth, and to
draw into itself all that was
noblest and purest in many gen
erations of our fellowmen.
We ought to remember that
there is not a book in it, and
hardly a chapter, the threads Of
which are not interviewer with
the actual experience of a hu.

derstand at once that it was the
voice Of some one in trouble. He
listened until he fixed just the place
that whimpering was coming from.
Then he lifted his nose and tested
the air to see from which direction
the Merry Little Breezes were COM
ing. AS soon as he was sure of this
he softly but swiftly trotted to a
point where the Merry Little Breezes
would blow from the place where
that Whimpering came from straight
to him.
The instant he reached that place
he tested the air again very care
fully with his wonderful nose. The
hair began to stand up along his
back and he drew his lips back so
as to show his teeth. He smelled
Bear, That smell made him very
careful. Old Man Coyote has the
greatest respect for Mother Bear and
Buster Bear, and every other big
Bear. Usually he keeps out Of their
way But that whimpering contin-
ued, and Old Man Coyote became
more and more curious. He
crouched down close to the ground
and waited. Presently a very little
Bear, whimpering and whining,
came into view.
Old Man Coyotes eyes cleaned.
He wasn't afraid of that little Bear.
In fact, that little Bear would make
him a very good meal. 1t was plain
to him that little Bear was lost. Old
May Coyote got to his feet. He
looked and he listened and he tested
the air with his wonderful nose. He
was suspicious. That little Bear APP
peared to be lost, but Mother Bear
might not be far away. Old Man
Coyote wanted to take no chances.
Silently Old Man Coyote circled
quite around the whimpering little
Bear All the way he looked, listened
and tested the air. Finally he made
up his mind that Mother Bear was
not about. That smell of Bear came
from the whimpering, lost little
Bear Old Man Coyote grinned. He
would have a dinner of Bear. 1t
would be a dinner he had never

dreamed of having. Then he began
to cautiously steal nearer and nearer
to Littlest Bear.
Now, Littlest Bear was a badly
frightened little Bear. That very
fright made her more watchful and
suspicious. She suddenly became
aware that an enemy was near.
She couldn't have saTd how she
knew it, but she~tlid know it. She
couldn't have said whether it was
her ears or her nose that told her.
But she knew. She stopped and
turned. Old Man Coyote stoppedi
but he didn't stop quite soon enough.
He had just stepped out from behind
some brush Littlest Bear saw him.
She didn't know who he was, and
she didn't wait TO find out. Like a
flash she ran for the nearest tree.
Old Man Coyote sprang after her,
bur he was just too late. Littlest
Bear scrambled up that tree and
was safe

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

Saturday afternoons off, and go d.
rect from business to the golf links.
They get up early Sunday morning
and rush out to the links again, aAd
We do not see them until they come
home to feed, so tired with their day
in the open that they fall asleep al
most at the table.
1--WE are worn out, too, but it is
with cooking, and sewing, and mend
| ing, and baby tending; with wash
ing little faces, and trying to keep
restless little children interested and
amused and out of mischief. We
would like an occasional afternoon or
a Sunday off while husband looked
after the lliddies, or took the whole
family somewhere on little ex-
cursion. And we surely would APP
preciate a little conversation from
our husbands that indicated that
they still found us worth talking to.
Colts all right. VIE want our
husbands to play it-but in modera-
ton. We want our husbands to re-
member that they are just as much
married to us as they are to q golf
ball, and go fifty-fifty with us on
their time. We want them to realize
how selfish they are to spend all of
their leisure on the links, and none
with us, and that it is just as much
! up to them to help take care of the
children in summer as it is to us.
1--WE are tired of getting our ex-
serclSe pushing a perambulator. We
yare bored with having no more in
stelligent companion than a fiYe-year-
old child. We are fed up on spend
ing long, lonesome Sundays by our
selves. We are tired of being golf
widows"
It is a sad story, mates, but I
don't know what the poor golf wild
oWs are to do about it. For you may
reform a drunkard, and domesticate
a rogue, and turn a gambler from
the error of his ways, but once
man becomes Obsessed by a passion
for golf, he is hopeless.
He can no more be cured than any
other dope fiend, and his wife can
either tag along with, if she has the
time, and money and inclination, or
else stay at home. as sh1 generally
must, and look after the children,
for somebody has to keep the home
fires burning even for golfers.
Undoubtedly, the ancient and hon
orable game has alienated more men
from their wives than all the vamps
VINO ever Vamped. 1t has also done
more to break up the solidarity of
the family and do away with the
comradeship between husband and
wife, and father and children, than
any other one thing. For the chill
dren who have a golf father are poor
little half orphans who never get
acquainted with the man who mere
~ keeps his golf sticks at their
house.
But the cloud has a silver lining.
If the golf widow and goIf orphans
are sometimes to be pitied, they are
often to be congratulated Golf
takes away the grumpy and the
9rouchy as we'll as the sunny-tem-
pered man And in many a home
where Saturday afternoon and Sun
day were formerly looked forward
to with horror because the man of
the house would be at home, there
is now peace and quiet and joy, for
husband and father is off on the
links.
If You want to get a line on what
sort of husband and father n man
is, you have only to find out his
Wife's opinion of golf.

She is bored to tears spending her
time waiting for a man who only
comes home when he cannot see to
play any longer, and whose CONVEX

yet she is debarred from the grass

In a word, the golf widow is a for

After the thunder storm was over,
Littlest Bear remained for some time
in the top Of the tree where she
had sought refuge. The sun came
out and the Green Forest was no
longer silent. Little by little Lit
tlest Bear got over her fright. But
she was even more lonesome than
before, and she wanted more than
ever to find Mother Bear. She
climbed down and once more started
on, and, as before, she whimpered.
Now, whimpering that way was
the worst thing Littlest Bear could
have done. But she wasn't old
enough or wise enough to know it.
She was lost and lonesome, and so
she whimpered.
Now, always there are sharp ears
in the Green Forest. 1t happened
that there was a pair Of them which
heard the whimpering of Littlest
Bear. They were the ears of Old
Man Coyote. The instant he heard
it, he stopped to listen. He didn't
recognize the voice, but he did I'M

You can either be seated at one

PASSING OF MR.. FALL

While the announcement that
Albert B. Fall, OF New Mexico.
is to retire from his cabinet posi-
ton Of Secretary OF the Interior
on March 1 is not surprising. it
may be astonishing to some, who
looked upon him as a big man
when as a senator he was tear
ing into the Wilson administra-
ton, that he has cut so little fig
ure in the Republican regime. 1t
will be recalled that Mr.. Falls
speciality was TO denounce the
Wilson Mexican policy.
With the election OF President
Harding there was talk that MIR.
Fall might be appointed Secre-
tary Of State and straighten out
Mexico along with the rest OF the
world. But he was directed into
another position, and, after two
years OF Republican adnlinistra-
ton, he secs the Wilson policy
toward Mexico still maintained.

ing to do so much better than
the memb,rs of the preceding adj
ministratfn also arc not talking
so much these days.
