MELISSA LET MR. PROSIT DOWN EASY. "What's the matter with Mr. Prosit. Melissa?" Inquired Mrs. Merrlwld's maternal maiden aunt Jane, with some concern. "He passed me In the hall as I came In and went right by with out a word and Blammed the street door as he went out. Have you been saying anything to him?" . Mrs. Merrlwld paused In the act of opening the window. "Was he grind ing his teeth, dearie?" she asked, calmly. "Why, no," replied Aunt Jane. "Then he must have got them sharp enough," concluded Mrs. Merrlwld. "He was grinding them as he left the room. Perhaps you'd like a lock of Ms nair to remember mm Dyr n you i would, just pick one up?anywhere on the floor. What's the matter with him? Just artistic temperament, Auntie, dear, and as for saying any thing, I'm sure I said very little, only It was quite positive and decidedly negative, and that's too bad because it lets me out of Bohemia." "My love," said Aunt Jane, "I do wish you would talk Intelligibly at times." "I thought I was," answered Mrs. Merriwid, meekly. "Bohemia Is the happy, care-free land where I've been gallivanting with Mr.-.Prosit for the past week or two. I'd have taken you along only I was afraid you were too boorgewah to thoroughly enjoy It" "What's that?" queried Aunt Jane. "It's a Bohemian word meaning sev eral things," replied Mrs. Merriwid. "It*? the first word that you have to learn to move in the best Bohemian circles. When you get so that you i ?n say 'boorgewah' and eat liver and bacon en brochette with California ilaret and ice in thick tumblers with >ut stammering, you're eligible for nembership. You've got to say it vith a pronounced curl of the upper lp. I had to practice some time in rout of the mirror before I quite got t, but oh, auntie, the cruel, cruel hing Is that Mr. Prosit Just now ac :used me of being boorgewah. Gee! -Excuse me, Auntie." "But what does it mean," Aunt Jane lersisted. "Well, let me see," said her niece. If you're particular about paying 'our debts, you're it, and If you insist n other people paying theirs, you're t still more. The boorgewahzee are eople who go to bed at regular hours nd get up in the morning and hustle round for a living and something for rainy day. A boorgewah Is a per r*r> Trhn in fnlthfnl In th? marriaee re ition and considers the aforesaid larrlage relation necessary under cer ln circumstances, and who thinks Bernard Shaw writes a good deal of lart tommyrot. Personally, he has sneaking Inclination for Dickens, fho was awfully boorgewah himself." 'But what about Mr. Prosit, Me |ssa?" asked Aunt Jane. Mrs. Merrlwld sighed deeply and ibhed her eyes with her pocket hand ?rchlef. "He called me that awful ime," she replied in a choked voice, id then he began on his teeth and lr. Now I suppose I've got to go leading a dreary boorgewah exist lce without any kind of atmosphere. 3U know Bohemians are strong for ^mosphere, Auntie, dear, and strong the word for it, believe me. That's ly I've got the windows all open. I >pe it Isn't too cool for you?" T suppose I ought to stop worrying >ut you, but I can't help feeling that bu aren't as careful as you might be," ^served Aunt Jane. "Why do you illlvant,' as you call It, so much?" "To see Bohemia," Mrs. Merriwid re led. "Before Mr. Prosit came to be guide, philosopher and friend, I |ought it was a country where they ide colored glass water sets to sell $1.99, and that Bohemians were Jople Imported .by the steel trust to >rk for whatever they could get. In Iway, of course, I had It connected |th beer and brick cheese. And jre Is a beer and brick cheese dis |ct; there is a pickled herring and inapps section, too, and a spaghet |and chianti quarter.

"I'm glad you j didn't take me," she said. "It's very enjoyable," Mrs. Merriwid ! assured her. "There's a freedom and unconventionality about it, don't you know. Nothing boorgewah. If you want to 6moke a cigarette, you smoke a cigarette. If you want to get up on a table and declaim a poem, you get up and declaim.

"Are they socialists?" asked Aunt Jane, horror stricken. "Bless your dear heart,' no," Mrs. Merriwld answered. "Socialists are boorgewah. As nearly as I can gath er, socialists are well-meaning and quite respectable people with a tire some love of argument and a lot of wild and visionary Ideas that practical politicians are breaking their neckfe to adopt?as fast aa they think they have to. Socialists? Heavens, no! They're nothing in particular. They simply don't believe in anything. They've got beyond it All they want is elevated discussion on whether life is worth living and the sex problem, over their ruby California. Once in a while they discuss literature. Litera ture means D'Annunzio's little old col lection of garbage and a few woozy Russian novelists. I don't know what poor dear Henry would have said if he'd caught me reading such tnings." "I think he would have been per fectly justified," said Aunt Jane se verely. "Poor Henry!" sighed Mrs. Merri wid. "He thought black was black and white was white, and didn't know Nietzsche from a hole In the ground. Now, Mr. Prosit isn't like that." "He ought to be ashamed of himself then," said Aunt Jane, "But do you mean to say he actually proposed, Me lissa?" "The surest thing you know," an swered Mrs. Merriwid. "He proposed marriage, i luuugui iuai was idiuc | boorgewah of him, myself, but I didn't | like to tell him so because I knew it ; would hurt his feelings. I put it that ; we were not temperamentally con genial." "In what respect?" Aunt Jane in- j quired. "Well, I intimated that I had a tem- j peramental objection to supporting i any half-baked aggregation of rank \ red whiskerB and thirst who was too I lazy to work and hadn't'the nerve to I steal. "And he said I was boorgewah," concluded Mrs. Merriwid. (Copyright, 1912, by W. G. Chapman.)

GOOD EATINGS. Mock Terrapin.?Here is a good supper diBh. Half a calfs liver, sea son and fry; chop not too fine, duBt thickly with flour and a teaspoonful of mixed mustard, a dash of cayenne, two hard cooked eggs chopped fine, two tablespoonfuls of butter and a cupful of water.

A good meal Is a good salad and bread and butter, and moBt people will be well satisfied with such food. One may use what Bhe has at hand, making simple or complex combina tions. The nice thing about a salad is, it is so easy to put together. A banana or two with a few lettuce leaves and a tablespocnful of nuts, a sprinkling of salad dressing, and one has a most satisfying salad. It 1b always wise to keep a jar of good salad dressing in the ice chest to call upon at all times. The French dressing of oil and vinegar is liked by almost everybody and is still easier to prepare than the cooked or mayon naise dressings. Melon Salad.?Take a fine melon (a musk melon), scoop out the fruit in smooth tablespoonfuls.

Many Other Nations Celebrate Time They Gained Their Free dom. Paris, France.?Wherever there Is a free country it has Its day of inde pendence, corresponding to our Fourth j of July, and which is always the great festival of the year, when the people ! indulge in rejoicings of every imag inable kind. j In France the festival celebrates the ! fall of the Bastlle, which marked the ! beginning of tfie revolution. The date j of this event was July 14, 1789, but it I was not until 1880 that the annivers j ary was made by the government au | thority a national holiday. In all the I tities of the French republic it is com | memorated by illuminations, fireworks, ; special theatrical performances, balls, j concerts and much chanting of the ' -, ; ^r9Ri Kursad at Geneva. Marseillaise, the greatest of all war songs. What Is called the festival of the Escalade is the independence day of the little republic of Geneva?certain ly the most picturesque of all repub lies. It is now, of course, a part of Switzerland, but this is comparatively recent. During all the middle ages, with bloody wars raging on evefry hand, Geneva?a quiet little town in the Valley of the Rhone, surrounded by snow-capped mountains?held its own against every foe and retained its frooHnm But on the night of December 11, 1602, It had an exceedingly narrow es cape. Large forces, secretly gathered, which had marched from several strongholds in Savoy, crossed the River Arve and began to scale the walls with ladders. There was an alarm and the citizens, springing from their beds, rushed out in scanty attire. The enemy were driven back and by noon on the following day were com pletely routed. Italy, although a monarchy, has its j own independence day. This falls al- j ( ways on the first Sunday in June and is called the festival of tia constitu- ( tion. It celebrates the final union of ' Italy, which was accomplished in 1870. TROOPS TEST HUGE MORTARS Artillerymen at Honolulu Make a 8mall Percentage Firing at Target. Honolulu.?Artillerymen engaged In ! target practice with 12-lnch mortars I beyond Diamond Head attempted to | demonstrate that It Is possible to de 1 Btroy any hostile warship at a long dls | tance by mortars. k The firing was at a small target set j 4,800 yards off shore. In ten shots j fired there was one hit, and certain officers believe that most of the shots were entirely too wide of the mark. Maj. Edward J. Timberland, who was In charge of the battery, said, : however, that while 4he practice show-1 ! ed a poor percentage of hits, the teBt j had proved the efficiency of the mor | tars. j The small percentage of hits was partially due to high winds.

Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute. Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPT. 8 THE MISSION OF THE TWELVE. T poonv TTTYT?\foff Q-5K tn 10-15 and 10-40"to"lV:l.' ~ GOLDEN TEXT?"He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth mo receiveth him that Bent me."?Matt 10:40. The first verse of our lesson Is a ! vivid picture of the life of our Lord, j Going ebout from village to village, he taught, healed and preached the J good tidings of his new kingdom.' | Why? Not only because of his com- j passionate heart as revealed in the second verse of the lesson, but also as a proof of hii claims and, "that be lieving ye might have life through his name," John 20:30, 31. This does not, however, lessen the force of this sec ond verse, for Jesus as tfte true Shep- ; herd was indeed "touched with a feel- j lng of our infirmities."' Seeing the | multitude thus without & shepherd, so ! faint and weary as to lay down and j knowing that his great work was to ; be carried on by others after he had j "finished" it upon Calvary, he makes j special provision by choosing the ; twelve and telling them definitely how to carry on his ministry. Jesus realized that no one man can minister to all others except as he multiplies his personality in the lives of others. So it Is that he gives the church* of today a powerful example of how to answer the prayer of verse 38 by his practical method suggested in verse 1 of chapter 10. His vision of verse 36 is the passion of his life and he Intends it to he the passion of our lives. Truly the harvest is bountiful, the opportunity is tremendous. All that is needed is helpers, hence our first duty is to pray and our Becond to accept his enduement for service. Jesus sends forth those whom he tells to pray. Disciples Restricted. Following this introduction we find a list of the peculiarly chosen ones who are to be his vlce-gerents after his passing, and from verse 6 on we find the charge he delivers to them. There is in this charge, first, the note of limitation, verses 5 to 15; secondly, j the note of warning, verses 16 to 23, j and thirdly the note of comparison, verse 24 to the end of this chapter : and Including 10:1. True, in this les- ] son we have only the first section, the : limitation together with the final , words of the charge which in reality | -* - 1 i amounts to b cumpiwte iuouuuwuuu of his apostles with himself. Notice the grouping of the names of these disciples. First the three who formed that Inner circle, Peter, James and John, and with them An drew, who first brought Peter to Je sus (John. 1:41). After these the names are In groups of two, and it 1 was as such they were afterwards sent out, Mark 6:7. So we today are not alone, Matt. 28:20, Acts 1:8. Let us observe the restriction placed upon these disciples. They are to minister not to the Gentiles nor even the Samaritans, though Jesus did both during his life, John 4:4 and Matt. 15:22, but not so these whom he now , is sending, at least not till his -work Is > complete and Israel has had Its day of opportunity. Alter Calvary this re striction Is removed, as we can see from the book of Acts. Of course this restriction Is not Incumbent upon us. We must not, however, forget that the removing of this restriction does not remove our obligation to the Jews. The duty to evangelize the Jew Is still Incumbent upon the disciples of Christ. Another restriction Is In the mes sage and the method. The message Is to be the good news of the king dom. They are to "herald forth" that , It Is at hand. That the Messiah has i come. We are told that they are not j to force the acceptance of their mes- I sage. That In its proclamation they shall receive all sorts of opposition. That they must look well to their own character, they are to be as sheep | amidst wolves, they shall be haled before courts and potentates, but such oersecution shall be a witness against their persecutors for "his sake." Yea, they shall be hated of all men and compelled to flee from one village to another, but a wonderful rewartj shall be theirs If they endure to the end. Bearing of Disciples. What is to be their method? First, it is to be that of absolute depend ence upon the Father. It is true that Paul labored with his own hands, but at the same time he accepted the bounty of the churches and urged that such fruit might abound, Phil. 4:10, 15, 17. Jesus is here teaching us the other lesson that the "laborer is wor thy of his hire." The disciple is to heal. The ministry of hospital, nurs ing and godly physicians is a marvel ous fulfillment of this command. Ob serve well the ministry of medical missions. There is no greater inspi ration to the Christian church. What is to be the bearing of these disciples? It is to be that of dignity and self respect, see LiUKe iu:o. While It Is true the disciple is to ; offer and not to force his message i upon the people, yet for Israel to re- . ject was Indeed a worse state than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. The ! overthrow and scattering of the Jew- ! ish nation is a byword in history. As to the note of compassion, we j should read all of this chapter. Remember the dignity of our work Remember that we go in the name of One who came to "shew forth the Fa ther." Remember that as we thus "forth-tell" and shew forth our Father and that as we receive others and oth ers receive us we honor the Father Social service 1b good, but let it be done in the name of a disciple and to the glory of God the Father. Such, indeed, is the practical life of the called ones who follow in the stepF of him who came to minister and no' o be ministered unto. Ideals In America are almost as high as the cost of living.

"My food did not agree "with me, I grew thin and despondent. I could not enjoy the simplest social afTalr for I suffered constantly from nervousness in spite of all sorts of medicines.
