Saying where Is he that II born
King Of the Jews? For we have
seen His star in the east, and are
come to worship Him.
When Herod, the King, had heard
these things, he was troubled, and
all Jerusalem with him.
And when he had gathered al
the chief priests and scribes OF the
people together, he demanded Of
them where Christ should be born.
And they said to him, in Bethle-
hem Of Judea: for thus 1t 10 writ
ten by the prophet.
And thou Bethlehem in the land
of Judea, art not the least among
the princes of Judea: for out Of thee
shall come q Governor that shall
rule my people Israel.
Then Herod, when he had privily
called the wise men, inquired Of
them diligently what time the star
appeared.
And he sent them to Bethlehem,
and said, Go and search diligently
for the young child: and when We
have folTad Him, bring me word

Can Be Cured
You can't keep these things from
happening. About all you can do is
to strengthen the individual against
the disease, the same way that
tuberculosis was handled, and when
he shows the first symptoms Of the
trouble, treat him for it. Because
II the doctors can get hold OF 1t when
it first starts, they can sometimes
cure 1t.
But under the District commit
ment law, the doctor can't do that.
He's got to wait until the patient ii

so much as pull q Thermometer on
him.
If the mental surgeons could have
taken Mrs. Patton in hand about
the time she wrote the letter to the
chief Of police, for instance, they
probably could have cured her. But
under the law, they couldn't take
her in hand, because she wasn't
crazy enough. And by the time she
had be ONE crazy enough to satisfy
the law. she was past all surgery.
Can't Think On Sore Spots
Mrs. Patton had no more idea
how the trouble started than a ty.
phoid fever patient has about where
the germs came from. She never
thought of Johnny's arrest In con-
nection with her difficulties. She
never thought of it at all, II she
could help it. Your mind won't
stand for your thinking with sore
spot any more than your jaw will

to, of course, but you'll look to it

The landing Of additional Amari-

Diaz, who was placed in the Pres.-
Dental palace through the efforts Of
the State Departments Representa-

Warships and American Marines, is
literally bombarding washington

contain flaming accusations against

which has recognized the liberal
revolutionary government set up by
Diaz's rival, DIR. Sacasa, as the real,

Severe fighting has taken place

The state Department meanwhile
observes silence concerning Diaz

The only apparent response has
been the landing Of more blue

Mocker found an opening at one end.
He ran through it. He did it before
he had really looked. Then he dis
covered he was a prisoner in a small
er cage. Almost at once Farmer
Browns Boy slipped his arm through
an opening in the top and caught
Mocker in his hand. Very gently he
lifted Mocker out. He held Mocker
in a peculiar way. on his back, and
so that Mocker could not we'll strug-
gle. And somehow, after a moment,
Mocker didn't mind. Very gently
Farmer Browns Boy stroked him
and talked to him all the time. Then
he slipped something around one leg
Mocker didn't notice it at the time
After this Farmer Browns Boy
talked to him for a moment, then
held his hand open. 1t was almost a
minute before Mocker realized that
he was free. Somehow all fear had
gone. He got to his feet and for a
second or two he sat on Farmer
Browns Boys hand. Then he flew
to the nearest tree. He had been a
prisoner, but once more he was free.
1t wasn't until after Farmer Brown s
Boy had disappeared into the house
that Mocker noticed he had some
thing he hadn't had before. There
was something queer, something
bright, around one leg. He pecked
at it with his BILL but it wouldn't
come Off He found that it was hard.
He didn't know what to make of it..
But it didn't hurt and it wasn't un-
comfortable. so it wasn't long before
Mocker had forgotten all about it.
In the house Farmer Browns Boy
had written in little book date and
a certain number That number was
on the shiny thing around the leg Of
Mocker 1t was tiny metal band,
and Farmer Browns Boy was max
ing a record of the date when that
band was put or Mocker's leg. You
see, Farmer Browns Boy wanted to
know if Mocker remained there
through the Summer. Or, if he didn't
remain if he came back another
Summer or Winter That. little band
would tell the story. So it was that
Mocker was banded.

lets flare without any contrasting
godets let in. The buttons start from
the wrist bone and are placed at in
tervals up the gauntlet toward the
elbow.
Buttons Like Buckles.
Another way of using buttons on
gloves is to have one on each turned
back wrist. They resemble fancy
with shanks. Some of the buttons
arc bright green with traceries of gold
or silver on the surface. Others are
red, pink. etc, but all of the buttons
are decidedly ornamental.
Make Use of Mode.
Both of these ways of using but
tons on gloves can be adapted by the
woman who is deft with her needle.
The fancy buttons can be sewed on
the outer part of any glove with a
turned back wrist. Or a row of brass
or fancy buttons can be sewed, as de-
Scribed, on gauntlet gloves.
Homemade Trimming.
\ further fashion that the needle
woman can utilize to advantage to
make her gloves chic, at small cost.
is to sew bands of handsome applique
" tHS luI lSu bdCh "TlSlS VI SioNto.
The expense of this trimming depends
entirely on the sum paid for the
landings. Some of those seen in the
Paris shops have choice embroidery
from Chinese ma ndarin coats. The
edges of the landings frequently are
covered with pinked pieces of kid
that extend from the ends of the
turned back portions to the bands.
Such kid trimmings is in contrasting
hue to the gloves themselves. 1t is
not essential to have the kid, however.
The landings may simply be stitched
on the glove wrists by machine. Use
a rather loose tension to allow for the
stretching of the kid.

wrong as it is to think that every
body intends to do you a wrong.
Mr.. Mocker never in his life had
heen trapped He knew nothing about
traps. So when he saw a frame COW
cred with wire netting. raised at one
end so that it was easy to go under,
and in under it saw raisinS and cur
rants spread he wasn't suspicious
OF course, he ought to have been. He
ought to have been wise enough to
know that it is best to keep away
from things you do not know about.
But Mocker was hungry. He knew
that those raisins and currants had
been put out especially for him. He
walked all around that wire thing
it looked perfectly harmless. Finally
he walked in under it. Almost at
once the raised end fell and there he
was, a prisoner. He had been
trapped.
Even then at first he didn't realize
what had happened. He went on eat
ing. and it wasn't until he saw Farm
er Browns Boy coming toward him
hat he started to fly. Then he found
he couldn't fly; then he found he was
prisoner.
For a few minutes Mocker was ter
ribly frightened. 1t is always rather
n frightful thing to find you are a
prisoner. that YOU cannot go and
come as you will. So Mocker beat
his wings against the wire until he
was sure in his own mind that this
was useless. Farmer Browns Boy
came slowly up to the trap. Every
movement he made was slow. He
talked to Mocker soothingly. Finally
