A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN n. GUM.

Text: Accuse not servant to his
master Prov, xxx.10.
If all the false accusations that have
been made against servants were writ
ten in books, doubt whether we could
find a library large enough to contain
them all. Some time ago was in a
home when the housewife discover
that some little article was missing
She just knew that her maid had taken
It.. Nobody else could have done it.
But after having accused the maid the
missing article was found just where
she herself had put 1t away. You can
imagine that housewives embarrassment
when she had to confess her hasty aid
unwarranted accusation.
Similar incidents have taken place
times without number. Where there
is q servant around most people ~e al
too ready to accuse the servant when
anything is found missing or out OF
place. AS to many other things serv-
ants are wrongly accused. 1t was SC
back in Solomon's time. Hence his
warning touching the matter.
The warning applies not only with
regard to servants, but with regard to
others as we'll. 1t is a very wrong and
unjust thing to hastily accuse any
body. We can never know the mis-
chief that has been wrought in this
way. Thus many mans business has
been ruined. Thus the happiness OF
many a home has been shattered. Thus
countless hearts have been made to
suffer the deenest anguish and torture
And in mary Mch cases the accusation
that caused all the trouble proved tc
have no foundation whatever. In view
therefore, of the possible wrong and in
justice we may do, we ought always to
be very cautious and slow about accus-
ing people. Here Is a good place tc
apply the golden rule.

SUB ROSA
Pigs and Pearls.
by MIMI.

We are told not to cast Our pearls
before swine and are warned that pigs
is pigs. The idea Is that some people
lack q sense of appreciation just as
others are wanting in q sense Of humor
50 that We should not expect responses
from them.
Some people show their selfishness In
the way they grasp everything they can
lay their hands on, while others are
Just as selfish in the way they refuse
to take what Is offered them. Both
types of selfish people keep within
themselves.
You don't want anybody to take
your hat from you. and you don't
want people to refrain from admiring
1t, If 1t happens to be tricky toque
You hate to have others monopoli5e the
conversation, but you don't like them
any better when they don't listen to
your story They can offend by both
the lips that talk too much and the
ears that hear too little.
When We come right down to the
affairs of human life, most people have
a certain amount of sympathy for SUI
fering, for they know what 1t means
but they have not the same amount OF
sympathy for the happiness which We
enjoy when fortune smiles on US.
Laugh and the world laughs with
you. weep and you weep alone" But
is that true? When we weep we are
likely to command a certain amount of
compassion from our human associates,
but when we laugh because of success
or happiness we find that these same
people don't laugh with us. Envy gives
them long faces, just as jealousy gives
them green eyes.
Cleopatra dissolved pearls in vinegar,
and how often the pearls of ones
thoughts and feelings are destroyed by
the sourness of another's disposition.
Such sour people don't want to have
us share our ideas and feelings with
them. They may lend us their money,
but not their ears.
We prize the pearls we find in
oysters. Why should we not esteem
the pearls of great price as these are to
be found in another persons thoughts?
It is tiresome to listen to a long winded
story and a bother to hear all about
the other persons doings, but now and
then q precious idea is found in an
others experience when 1t is related
The truly appreciative person Is as
praiSeworthy as the pearl diver who
forgets himself, holds his breath and
dives deep for the pearl.

When the Guest Is Tardy Arrival
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| patience, is to fall from the role Of the
perfect hostess. Probably the guest
| feels very chagrined at the lateneSs of
his or her arrival, and the attitude Of
the hostess will make or mar the occa-
sion which is to follow. To offer some
one pleasure and then hinder the en-
ioyment of 1t Is q very backhand way
Of doing things, from which no good to
any one can result
The hostess, of course, owes 1t to her
self and to her other guests to let the
form of entertainment chosen be adj
hered to. Events should take their
course with as little deviation as posi-
be from schedule. Anything which has
transpired before the late arrival Is
present must be regarded as his or her
loss.
To be a guest arriving behind time
one must show just the right degree OF
concern-enough to have the hostess
feel that disconcerting her plans is not
held to be negligible quantity. and not
so much that she is embarrassed by
having to reiterate her assurances that
1t is quite all right. To be too apollo
getic does not help the occasion to go
on smoothly. as little commotion as
possible should be aroused. This is a
thing which the late arrival does well
to remember. The hostess has already
started the ball Of entertainment roll
ing, and to suddenly burst upon the
scene with furry and profuse apologies
may be to interfere with her plans more
than is necessary.
1t Is inexcusable for q guest to act
as II such breach Of etiquette were q
matter Of no concern to herself. A
guest who assumes such a manner to-
ward a long-suffering hostess deserves
to have her name struck from the list
of those invited. Such an attitude on
the part Of the hostess is quite another
matter.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Summer Problems.

In these days when the children are
freed from school and spend all their
hours In the open, they are subject to
dietary indiscretions that can't always
be blamed upon the mother.
Neighbors have the hospitable habit
of showing their liking for children by
feeding them. and so when Mrs. Brown
bakes cookies and the appetiZing odor
floats into the yard and the Jones chill
dren cluster about her doorstep in the
forlorn hope that she'll see them and
offer them some, 1t takes a very hard
hearted person to ignore them Even il
Mrs. Brown is well aware that Mrs
Jones never allows the children to eat
between meals and deploreS their loss
of appetite when they do, she is all too
apt to say to herself, playing outdoors
makes them hungry. A few cookies
oughly enjoys the children's obvious de-
light
Then there Is the kindly neighbor
land she Is kindly who always carries
a bar of chocolate or a box of fruit
drops in her handbag. And don't the
children know It? They run like fire
horses when they see her coming-and
always are so surprised when she opens
her handbag and finds" something for
them.
Very often she says to the children,
nov you must ask your mother If you
can have It," which puts poor mother
in the position of being deep-dyed
villain II she says no in the face of
their mute pleading.
OF course. no one is trying to pretend
even for a moment that child's health
Is going to be undermined by a few
cookies, or treat of candy. The most
this can do is to spoil their appetite
for the next meal, which is bad enough
in most families. The chief harm is
the practice of making light of the
mothers rules of conduct-overridfng
her discipline.
The mother maps out routine for
the child with the perfect knowledge
of what is best for him. She knows
that he eats little or nothing when he
has been fed between meals. She knows
that he likes all the sweet foods best
and has to have them after he has
eaten all the other foods that are SC
essential, but not so attractive to him
Why should her carefully worked out
routine, her sensible arguments to the
child be shattered in order that a neigh.

Today in
Washington History

June FL, 1S63.-Throughou today, be-
ginning very early In the morning,
heavy firing was distinctly heard in
this city, apparently coming from the
direction Of the Bull Run Mountains.
After a few hours 1t was learned that
an engagement was In progress between
a portion of the cavalry under Gems.
infantry of Gen. Meade'S command on
the Union side, and Stuart's cavalry,
with more or less infantry, supposed to
belong to Gen. LongStreets corps, on
the Confederate side.
The Battle commenced soon after day
break and is understood to have been
first in the vicinity of the gap through
the Blue Ridge Mountains, near Aide,
Va. It is believed that Meade attacked
the Confederates and that the Union
cavalry got into action about 8 o'clock
this morning.
It is assumed that the Union forces
were victorious for several reasons. In
the first place no Union straggler has
come to the rear During the day the
sound of the firing gradually died down,
but 1t did not cease until about 6 o'clock
this evening, when 1t appeared to come
from the vicinity of Smokers Gap in
the Blue Ridge Mountains. No request
for reinforcements was received from
Military authorities here assume that
whatever Confederate force was in the
valley between the Blue Ridge and Bull
Run Mountains was today driven across
the latter range into the Shenandoah
Valley.
Late reports tonight indicated that
Pieasanton's cavalry attacked Stuarts
Confederate cavalry at or near Middle
burg, Va, and steadily drove Stuart
all during the day through Upperville
and into Ashbys Gap, inflicting heavy
loss. Several pieces of Confederate ar
tillery and a number of prisoners are
reported to have been taken. Wounded
men from the battle are understood to
be on their way in wagons to the hos
pitfalls in this city.
During the day there was a report
that a large Union force had been de-
feated at Centerville, but upon investi-
CATION this proved to be entirely with
out foundation in fact.
The public here Is still profoundly
ignorant of the whereabouts of Gen.
Lee with his main force. It is known,
however, that he is not anywhere east
Of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

HISTORIC QUICK THINKERS
Potemkn 10. Won Regard of Catherine the Great and
Later Helped Rule Russia

BY ]. p. GLASS,

Potemkin's bold love, his bravery and
his huge stature all charmed Catherine
the Great. But although she permitted
him to share the imperial power she
was too despotic to chance marriage
with him. He who had been bold
enough to make the first advances to
her, the Empress Of all the Russias,
assuredly would be no timid husband.
It was on a momentous day, July Z,
1725, that Gregory Alexandrovitch Po-
temkin first succeeded in catching the
eye Of Catherine. She was on her way
back from the church of Casau. where
she had just been proclaimed Empress
to the exclusion of her husband. Peter,
whose murder was shortly to follow.
Potemkin, then but 16 years OF age and
an ensign in the Guards. noted that she
had no plume in her hat.
The youthful giant had a mind as &C.
tive as his body was big. Already he
had heard of GATHERINGS impression

to receive her guests. The can
ned soup was warmed in the top
of q double boiler and put into
bouillon cups and placed on the
table just before the guests as
sembled. In the meantime
creamed potatoes were ready
warming in the top of q double
boiler while the platter OF sliced
ham and the serving dish Of
stuffed tomatoes we're ready in
the refrigerator.
Pastry pie shells were prepared
well in advance and when time
came to serve dessert the hostess
had merely to whip the cream,
pile the berries on the shell and
spread the cream over them.
Some of the cream was used for
those who chose iced coffee.

Let us clasp hands across the bloody
chasm."
There Is being constructed IN wash
lngton q bridge across the Potomac
River. The bridge will be symbolic OF
a united Nation. It stretches from the
Lincoln Memorial, on the washington
side of the river, to Arlington National
Cemetery, on the Virginia side.
Senator Overman asks that there be
placed on the north end of the bridge a
south. And at the south end of the
bridge he would have placed a heroic
figure of Robert e. Lee, facing north.
In the center he would have two fig-
ures of women claSping hands, repre-
senting the North and the South.
The request Is contained In a resolu-
ton adopted by the Senate. 1t will be
forwarded to the Arlington Memorial
Bridge Commission and report made
ut the next session of Congress.
If the plan is acceptable, Senator
Overman will ask that Congress APP
propriate the necessary funds.
Now that the new cabinet is on the
Job and the continued status OF Senator
Borah as chairman Of the Senate for
eign relations committee Is definitely
determined, the following story can be
told:
Not many months ago Mrs. Borah
who Is famous In Washington for her
wit and repartee, was the guest Of honor
at a dinner given in Boise by one OF the
Senator's stanchest supporters.
The dinner table conversation drifted
TO the subject as to who would be Presi-
dent Hoover's Secretary of State. One
Of the GUESTS. with more franknesS than
tact, said to Mrs. Borah:
I'VE hear that Senator Borah hal
been offered the Secretaryship Of State

The other guests were plainly shock
