Johnny noticed it. When he took a
sun bath it wasn't at all the same as
a sun bath In Summer. Johnny tried
to think that he wasn't lonesome. But
you know the hardest person in all
the world to fool is yourself. Johnny
might have fooled others, but he
couldn't fool himself. He was sleepy
and he was lonesome, and that is all
there was to It.
Then one night Jack Frost arrived.
He had been long time getting there,
but when he got there he left no doubt
In any ones mind that he had ar.

den whose name is connected with
the seige Of Munster?
Was he a martyr to his beliefs or
merely blind fanatic?
Answer-He belonged to the six
teenth century, an age In which men
by their credulity or else their in
ability to separate the genuine from
the spurious were all too ready to be-
come the prey of tyrants and i'm
posters. It was also a persecutinS
age. when Moors and Jews. witches
and wizards. heretics and unbelievers
were tortured and put to death for the
supposed greater glory of God.
Jan BOckelson was a native of
Leyden, who began as pure on.
thusiast and roamed through various
European lands before he met Mel
choir Hofmann the Anabaptist. This
prophet filled him with the light of
new kingdom of the saints on earth.
Jan Mathys, another Of it's advocates
afterward taught Bockelson that tho
kingdom should be set up for the re-
demptiOn of the oppressed, the en-
termination of tyrants. the community
of goods and the rule of justice and
fraternity.
1t was the ideal of Jewish prophecy
and Gospel freedom in behalf Of which
ROckelson set out for the German
city or Munster TO join the saints
there. Under his leadership. however.
their worship degenerated into the
widest eXcesses of fanaticism, lust
and mock royalty.
The Bishop of Munster besieged the
city. which after terrible sufferings
surrendered to his forces Bockelson.
better known as Jan of Leyden. was
tortured and afterward executed.
The whole story. is lurid comment
on the chaotic conditions which then
prevailed. These demonstrated de-
cline in morals and religion that re-
flected far more discredit on the lead.

BOckelson' and his followers. The
latter were severely punished for
their wrongdoings. The former, who
execrated Jan and all his works and
ways, as a rule escaped the penalties
due their acts.

There are many attractive articles
suitable for Christmas gifts that can
be made from scraps of ribbon or bits
of f:silk artistically combined. Requests
have come in for ideas for such arti
cles, and so l am giving several today
with little individual touches to supply
novelty.
A square Of silk or ribbon with the
corners turned 70 meet in the center
and all seams felled but one, makes
a delightful raveling holder for nee

because Of it's simplicity, depends upon
the quality Of the ribbon. Press the
case to make a perfect square when
completed II the ribbon is plain the

of the triangular sections, or some
wee flowers worked to resemble woven
decoration or handkerchief embroidery.
Such an article is just a little remem-
brance, scarcely more than a Christ

envelope with a line of greeting.
These little cases make good novelties

NEW HAVEN, Conn.
Why cannot I have the inward life
I desire 81 long as my outward life
corresponds with the demands of
civilized society?
Answer-Recause what you dream
today you do tomorrow. Your demand
involves chronic mutiny between
your inner and outer life. The former
constitutes three-fourths of your ac
tual existence. the balance it's super
fetal one ne-fourth. No delusion is more
rife or mischievous than that which
presumes Imagination. can run every
course which vicious propensities die
tate on life's inside while its exterior
maintains a respectable appearance.
Reprobate conduct begins within
you and ends in the open. 1t is born
in the soul and there nursed and
warmed till it's octopus-like tentacles
clutch outward behavior and make it
subservient to the hearts secret de-
sires.

process. Treat your image-making

OLEAN. Ny,
Will you kindly tell me the char
acter of Mr.. Strachey's novel. "The
Madonna of the Barricades"? Also
IL the author is any relative to Mr..
Lytton Strachey, who wrote Queen
Victoria?
Answer-Mr. J. st. Lee Strachey.
the author of the novel you name, Is
related to Mr.. Lytton Strachey as
cousin, / believe, or a second cousin.
"The Madonna of the Barricades"
Is an excellent story, cast in the form
Of the memoirs of Lord George ebert A
sey. who gives the reader an accoun4
of three exceedingly adventurOuB
years of his flaming youth. AS the
son Of nObleman Of high rank he in
PRODUCES the reader on nearly every
page to the statesmen, diplOmatists,
novelists and celebrities in general of
the British Empire.
The heroine Of the story, Carlotta.
Is fascinating Italian girl of noble
birth, torn between her love for Lord
George on the one hand and for a
united Italy on the other. The ro-
nance has its darker side relating
to the Carbonari,- that secret society
which inspired fear in the princes Of
Latin Europe and of Austria.
Vivid sketches of Italian scenery,
life in London, and the bloody bar
ricades of Paris during the uprising
of 1S4S lend verisimlitude to the
work. 1t is crowded with portraits or
with material from which these can be
drawn. The spirit and aims of British
conservatism, French reactionism and
Italian patriotism are depicted.
