Craftsmanship
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

THERE was come a man to seek
the welfare Of the children OF
Israel."-Nehemiah lilo.
It was no designing end Of his
own that brought Nehemiah to Jerusa-
lem. He had come for the sole end
Of serving his countrymen. If he
had considered his own gain and
good, he would have remained in the
Shushan Palace, where he was a
chief officer in the Kings court, with
all the ease and comfort and every
luxury one could wish.
Here was a statesman Of the first
mark. He not only had rare ability,
but he was possessed of that fine dis
interestedness which is the rarest and
highest of all human virtues.
If one would be true statesman.
he must be actuated by the altruistic
motive. He must be unself1sh. There
must be no itching desire for Office,
no greed for gold. He must have no
must not place his own image above
the public veal, above honor or above
truth. He must subordinate himself.
Thus he will be in position to con-
slider public questions from the stand
point of the public welfare.
Having no personal interests at
stake, wanting nothing, and seeking
nothing for himself, he can consider
with an unbiased mind the issues and
policies that come before him. Pos
sessing that fine element of disin-
terestedness, ne willingly sacrifices per-
sonal good that he may promote pub
lie good.
He does not exploit himself before
the public. He does not seek popu-
larity, nor does he bid for the shout
of the multitude. He seeks only to
serve. And he gains a greater and
more enduring reward than the idle
buzz and venal puff of fashion.
BY giving himself unselfishly to the
service of his fellow men, he secures
for himself that undying and imper-
ishable fame which William Hazlitt
has so beautifully described as the
sound which the stream Of high
thoughts, carried down to future ages,
makes as it flows; deep, distant, mur-
muring evermore, like the waters of
the mighty ocean,"
We have had, and we have today,
statesmen who answer to this ideal
We have witnessed so much malfeas-
ance in state affairs that it is diff
cult to get some to believe that any
state official can or does act from
disinterestedness. I refuse to adopt
such a cynical view. Notwithstanding
all the corrupt politicians we have
had, I am glad to believe that We
have many public servants who fulfill
the ideal of the disinterested states

Little Benny.

POP was trying to make his new
gas lighter werk against its will,
and ma said, Willyum, I was never so
insulted in my life, and by young
snip of a gerl selling buttons in Hook
binders notions department, can you
imagine such thing?
Do you mean it would be less SER
prising to be insulted by a big lump
Of woman selling mechanical pianos
in the machinery department? pop
said, and ma said, I was furious, I
can tell you, perfectly furious. Any
body elts in my place would Of re-
ported her to the management with
out seconds compunction, I'm sure.
There she stood, tawking and gabbel-
ing away to fellow salesgerl, and
there I stood like patience personified
on a monument. hoping against hope
to get waited on, till finely my self
control broke all bounds, ma said.
You spoke to her, gather, pop said,
and ma said,IThat's putting it mildly.
I gave her good round piece of my
mind. I said to her, Now look here,
young lady, and why I'm calling you
young lady is puzzle to me because
for the passed minnits you haven't
been acting like a young lady or any
other kind of lady on land or sea.
Well, she brazenly tried to interrupt
me, but layed her low in her tracks
before she had werds out. How
dare you? I said to her. If you value
your position here, insignificant as it
is, you'll have the common politeness
to listen when I do you the extreme
honor of addressing you, I said to her.
Such impertinence crosses the verge
of insolence I've been standing here
for practical ages, utterly ignored and
downrite disregarded, said to her If
you've had any upbringing why dom t
you try to reflect little of it in your
actions? told her, ma said.
What elts did she say? pop said, and
ma said, 1t was at that moment she
had the gassly effrontery to say, But
madam, assure you I didn't see you.
In other werds, after all I'd said about
standing there, she practically ac-
cused me of not knowing what I was
tawking about.
Yee gods, pop said. I'll be back
when I get over the shock, he said.
And he got behind the sporting page
and stayed there.

THE CHOIR BOY EVENING EN-
SEMBLE, WHICH COMES IN SEW
ERAL SHADES OF SATIN. ONE
OF THE INTRIGUING AND
YOUTHFUL FASHIONS FOR AU-
TUMN, AND ESPECIALLY SUIT
ABLE FOR COLLEGE GIRL.
SKETCHED IN A WASHINGTON
SHOP.
Along the same general lines and
suitable for wear with brown coat
is a brown silk crepe with interesting
details of gathers and accents of white.
The blouse is slashed, making a half
yoke from the armhole, to which the
lower part of the blouse is gathered.
In the immediate front of the peplum
there is another group of gathers.
The stand-up collar opens in curve
at the front and is bound with white
covered cord and loops. The belt is
made of several white cords and the
sleeves, which are wider at the wrist,
are also finished with three coYered
cords.
One of those nice, crisp taffetas,
with lots of back fullness, is being
shown in black, covered with leaf
design done in gold lines. The
pattern is rather small and very
pleasing. The best view of this
frock is from the side, so that you
can get the effect of all seven Of
the ruff1es, which start under a
big, f1oppy black flower at the waist
line and continue to the bottom Of
the skirt, increasing in width as
they near the floor. The waist has
ruff1es which start at the top Of
the shoulder, being attached to
the outer edge of wide straps that
hold up the front. The cut Is quite
unusual and very attractive.
ORCHID satin with a finger-tip
length coat of the same material
is lovely, and so is sapphire blue
velvet, quite plain, with deep bertha
around the shallow-cut neck.
Going back once more to the sports
clothes, the corduroys are slated for a
they are equally good, and SO service
able and comfortable. In jacket and
skirt combination corduroy Is fine, for
you can change the weight of the
blouse or sweater to keep up with the
weather, and when it gets real cold
you can still wear the suit under a
topcoat One of these comes in a
beautiful, rich green that is becoming
to almost every one. The jacket is
plain tailored, with pockets, and with
either a green or brown felt hat this
little suit will prove a treasure.
OF course, the college girl will see
to it that she has plenty of lounging
outfits, too-pajamas of various kinds
and what could be better than a gay
pair in plaid velveteen? They will be
warm and attractive to look at and
will not easily show marks of wear,
like plain color This particular pair
is of medium dark French blue, with
big plaid of dull red and gold color.
The sash and collar are of gold-colored
silk. The sleeves are three quarter.
Most any girl would love this outfit.
She might wear bright red mules with
it, or blue; either would be suitable.

brown blotches on the back Of the
snake. A pale brown or yellowish-
brown ground color with a series OF
smaller blotches are to be seen on the
sides. The abdomen is yellow with
many dusky spots. The head is often
yeli0wish red or reddish.
This snake is known in the Central
States, from Ohio to Minnesota and
Nebraska, southwark to the valley
of the Missouri River, and they seem
to thrive especially in Ohio, Illinois
and Iowa.
Being a lover of the ground, you
rarely see this fellow take to the
trees, though it is perfectly capable
of climbing them. When upset about
something they get very excited and
vibrate their tail so fast it Is only
q blur. At this time you can see
them double their neck into an S.
shaped loop and strike at the offender
about a third of their length. AS
they strike they emit sharp, short
hiss. If you are near enough to
them it will remind you of a sneeze.
If really angry it will be willing to hold
its S-shaped position for a half hour,
its head moving to watch every move
it's antagonist takes.
However, this is only when the
snake has been teased or badly
frightened. Otherwise it is a good
natured fellow that can be handled
safely shortly after it has been cap
tured.
AS a mouser he is a prince. Young
rats and mice is all he really Graves
in the way of food. To produce
these tender tid-bits the snake naunts
the sheds and barns where these
creatures are established.
Many have called the fox snake
the house snake. 1t had been seen
near the house so often. AS a matter
of fact, it was helping rid the premises
of the rodent pests. When fully
grown fox snake can handle young
rabbits. When their favorite food is
scarce, they will resort to birds and
their eggs, swallowing the eggs whole
and breaking them by contraction of
the throat muscles as they are going
down."
A fox snake is worth at least a
dozen traps set to catch mice or
rats. In the first place, fox snake
is a famous prowler and does not
spend his time waiting for his food
to come to him, but enters their
home and consumes the entire family.
Like all members of its family. the
fox snake believes in large families
A hollow rotting stump is one of
the best places to look for the eggs.

Iv-CoIlege Life Of Days Gone BY
The Story Of Schools.

TT WAS a custom in Europe long
ago for college students to carry
daggers or swords. These weapons
were for the purpose of defense. {"
There were quarrels among the stu
dents. at times. and more often there
were quarrels between students and
people of the town.
The conflict between "town and
gown" has lasted clear down to mod
ern times, though 1t is not nearly
so strong now as in the early days.
The chief trouble during the Middle
Ages seems to have come from prices
charged the students for rooms, food
and other items. The students said
that the costs were too high.
There were so many quarrels at
oxford that rules were made to lay
fines against students If they did
not behave themselves. A student
who struck with his fist was fined
shillings. For striking with a stone
or club, the fine was 6 shillings and
pence. For giving a blow with a
dagger, sword or ak, the fine was
shillings, about 50 in our money.
Often the students declared that If
they were not treated better they
would move out of town 'and take
the university along" Since few COL

affording opportunities for the dress
Ter types, the rich velvets that fatter,
the elegant lustrous satins, the dull
silk crepes and the sheer woods in
plain colors. The jacket frock re-
mains in the lead as favorite for
all these occasions, combining after
noon and evening uses and doing
duty for SO may different purposes.
Let's start with the adorable choir
boy evening frock sketched, which
comes in number of lovely shades
of satin and appears to have been
made on purpose for the young col
legian. The big new feature is the
satin blouse made on lines similar
to the white cottas worn by choir
boys. There is the round collar with
gathered fullness beneath it, front
and back, the long sleeves gathered
into wrist bands and, most striking
of all, the loose, full back with belt
slipped through slashes at the under
arm seams to tie at the front. When
removed a charming formal evening
gown is revealed with surplice clos
ing front and back, and the marvel
of it Is that this beautiful ensemble
may be purchased for under SIS. Ask
to see it in your favorite color.
Black crepe with a black lace
Jacket with neck and sleeve frills
is smart, too, and is proving to be
very popular frock. A black satin
with small white dots and much
soft white pleating has lots of dash
and is sure to win applause wher-
ever it appears. Then there's
raspberry red sheer wool ensemble
with tight fitting waist-length
jacket and long sleeves. Where the
jacket comes together at the front
you can catch glimpses of the silver
mesh yoke of the blouse beneath it.
THE shop showing this frock is
- making an extra effort to help
the freshman select the right things
to make her a success socially for
that first trying year, when so much
depends on making a good impression
on the right people. The very under
standing young person in charge OF
this shop told us that a whole career
might be ruined by wrong clothes
being assembled for the entrance into
college life. So, make use of this
service and ask the fashion coun-
selors for help and advice instead of

The Old Gardener Says:

When the order for tulips is
being made up this season it may
well include a few kinds suit
able for rock gardens. These
kinds are dwarf and bloom very
early. The Candystick tulip,
which is particularly interesting,
grows only 8 or 9 inches high.
The bulbs may be planted or 9
inches deep in sheltered place.
A Sweet-scented English tulip
called Florentina is another good
kind, but not so well known as
Kaufmanniana, which is one of
the earliest to bloom. There are
several other kinds, all of which
are wild species and which thrive
without any particular care.
They should be planted as soon
as the bulbs reach the stores.
