tumorous ^Department. Aesop in Mexican Guise. Here is a story with a moral which is a popular favorite in Mexico, says the Philadelphia Ledger. "Juan," said the father, "I will die pretty soon. All I can leave you is 1 the little burro and a single bit of 1 good advice. This is, 'never attempt 1 to have people satisfied with your con- ! duct.'" ' "Why?" 1 "Come and see." ' The boy began to walk, then came 1 the burro, and, behind, the old man. "How stupid," the men said. "Why ' do they not ride the burro? No doubt 1 the burro will ride on them tomor- | row?" Both the old man and Juan heard this. Then the old man said: "Now, look here, my son; Jump on the burro and I will drive him." They reached another town. People who saw them exclaimed: "The old man must be crazy and the boy is without shame." "Did you hear that?" the old man questioned. "Yes, father." "Well, now, I will ride the burro and you will drive him." Another town was reached. Three men were passing by an done of them said: "Never in my life did I see such a man; he is riding on the burro and lets the poor little boy march on foot. That is atrocious." "Did you hear that?" "Yes, father." "All right, jump on the burro and we will both ride home." They followed another trail, and on their road they met a number of people who came in the opposite direction, each one on a burro. Upon seeing the old man and his son riding the burro they exclaimed: "These must be savages. When shall we have a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals? Look at that stupid old man and his son riding together on that poor burro!" "Did you hear that?" "Yes, father." "Well, never from now on try to have people satisfied with your conduct." Illustrated Advice^?The lawyer says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, leaned back. He was a good lawyer, yet business was poor. It had been poor for some time. He had even thought of running for office in order to secure an Income. Then a caller entered, a young woman, well gowned, well hatted, well shod. "I want your advice, sir," she said as she took the chair he pointed out. "I am a person of independent means well invested." The lawyer leaned forward. He showed a new interest. "A man wishes to marry me," the young woman continued. "Such cases of cause and effect are not infrequent," said the lawyer. "I believe the man intends to marry me for my money." "You may wrong nun. "I think not. I realize that I am as plain as & motor truck." "I am very nearsighted,'* said the lawyer. "I have a figure as unlovely as a country railway station." "You have something better," said the lawyer. "You have taste." He paused a moment. "May 1 ask the approximate size of the income you have mentioned ?" "I haven't the figures at hand," the young woman replied, "but the amount has four ciphers in it. And now, what is your advice?" The lawyer leaned a little further forward. He was still young and not unreasonably bad looking. "My advice." he said, "is to take no chances where you entertain doubts. If you will remain at home this evening I will myself drop in and ask you to marry me. Your address, please." Too Thorough.?Fanner Jones, finding help scarce in his neighborhood, was forced to visit the city, where he finally obtained a man bold enough to desert the attractions of the glittering town for the lonesome life of a country dweller. The fellow proved exceedingly dull, but plodded along, stolidly obeying instructions. The third day Farmer Jones said: "I want you to clean up the pigsty and the stables and the hen house and all the other houses of the stock." The new hand worked vigorously for hours. Then he appeared before his employer with both eyes nearly closed. his mouth swollen, and red lumps all over his face and neck and hands. "Gimme my money," he said; "I'm a-goin' to quit." "What's the matter?" asked the #o rmor "I don't know what's the matter," said the victim, "but it happened when I started to clean the beehive."?Ex- s change. 1 * 1 I Schoolboy Diplomacy.?Two of In- I diana's teachers were overheard com- ] paring notes on their school work one j day recently. One of them said: I "I left the drawer of my desk full 1 of apples, pears and hickory nuts when , I came up to the association. ] children are always bringing me , things. The other teacher laughed as she ; said: "Mine are not so free with ; their gifts. One of my small boys came : to me and asked: ' " 'Would it make any difference in ( my grades if I brought you a great big apple every day?" "I told him he might try it and see 1 and. after a thoughtful pause he asked: i "'If I try it. and you find out that it ain't makin' any difference, will you tell me, so's I won't waste any more , apples?"?Indianapolis News. Probably Not Contradicted.?Some . J time ago the keeper of a museum was j encaged in placir" some new curios j that had just arrived from Egypt when he noticed the perplexed look of | his attendant.

SUNDAY IN PHILADELPHIA Famous Evangelist Conducting Great Religious Revival. Rev. Billy Sunday began a series of evangelistic meetings in Philadelphia on January 3. A tabernacle seating 20,000 people, was specially built for the use of the baseball evangelist The Philadelphia Ledger of Wednesday, synopsizes the sermon of Tuesday night, on "Jacob Limped," as follows: Sunday's acting last night was wonderful. He limped across the stage i* -Tnonh after restllng with the angel of the Lord; he drove with a "Haw, haw!" the cattle and goats Jacob's men drove to Esau; he took photographs in a way that made his congregation howl with amusement; he bought candy hearts "with verses on em," not "broken altars" for the faithful wife who'd "manicured her hands for years in a washtub on your iirty duds;" he cracked imaginary whips, and he ran like a little girl Phased by a bull while a little brother prayed in stereotyped language "to oe made duly thankful for what he was about to receive"?meaning the bull. It's getting to be an old story, for it happened now on three nights at :he "Billy" Sunday services, but they iurned away their thousands from :he great tabernacle last night. By 7 j'clock the big building was filled and :housands were crammed and jammed n the vestibules. Twenty-three thousand persons, a congregation that brought Sunday's :otal for his three days' preaching in Philadelphia up to nearly 140,000, were thundering forth the evangelist's iymns. "Rejoice! Rejoice!" they sang, and, Mocks away Philadelphia knew it; 'If Your Heart Keeps Right," swelled the melody the boys in the streets were whistling, and the white-washed :imbers of the tabernacle roof trembled. The great structure last night teard such singing as it had not beard before. It made the pulses of ;he thousands jump. The evangelist was in fine fettle. It Jidn't take two words from his lips :o show that the hoarseness that had :roubled him in the afternoon, when le had told 14,000 persons of "The Revival of the Pentecost," had vanshed. He was on edge to get into action *,uu #?mnno onrmnn ".TflPnh." null ma lauivuo ?v? fie seemed like a thoroughbred, keen for the race, as throughout the prayer riven by the Rev. Dr. Edwin H. flann, he bobbed his head determinedly, muttering "Amen" to himself md gnawed at his thumb. He made things hum from the jtart. He talked of money. "By tonorrow night," said he, "Philadelphia should have cleaned up expenses. I could put up a ring here, pull iff a couple of prize fights and I'd 111 this thing every night at a dollar i head. You pay $2,500 just to see Haruso, and you'd fork over $4,000 to lear Melba sing one night. Ushers, rather up the pennies." Defense of the Jews. Sunday got the attention of his ludience in his first sentence by a iefense of the Jews. "It makes my blood boll," he cried, 'to hear a Jew spoken of as a Sheeny >r a Christ killer. When you worship the Christ you worship a Jew. Don't rou ever forget it. "I wear a custom-made suit made ay Jewish tailors. A Jewish banking nouse stopped the Russo-Japanese var by refusing to lend more money to Japan with which to carry on the jtruggle. "Visit the poorhouse. You never jaw a Jew there. If you want the purest blood on God's earth, you'll Ind it in the Jew. The Jewish race vill outlive the dynasties of the earth. "You never see a Jew among hobos panhandling for a hand-out. Indeed lot. Four hundred thousand Jewish children are in your schools, your :oming patriots, under the Stars and Stripes." Mr. Sunday began scoring the proud and the hypocrites. "Lots of folks," he shouted, "think they can work the shell game on 3od by giving a stained-glass window ir a pipe organ. Oh, how many of fou pray with sincerity? You are like people who put good apples on top of bad ones and then wonder vhat ails them!" He whirled like a top and shouted: 'You can't pray, 'My kingdom come,' md then go to a bridge party and look at God through the bottom of a leer mug. You can't pray 'My king Jom come' and then go home ana spew in the arms of your wife and jhildren, you drunken, old reprobate. "What troubles me so much is that .lod is doing so well with the bunch :hat he has to work with! "Some of you are so low down, you'd have to take an airship to get :o hell. "God broke Jacob's thigh?God will put you on your back, too, if you come to him with your gods of money and four decolete gowns. "Know what decollet is? It's a gown with the collar around the Rrai8t. "God's wrestling with you to make you give up your lust and greed and mvy, your companions in sin! "God says, 'Give 'em up!' He'll make some of you fellows take your ^heck books out of your pockets and Tiake restitution for all these get ich-quick schemes you've been workng. "When I went to school I had a Job is janitor?got up at 2 a. m.. swept 14 rooms, made fires in 14 rooms and got $25 a month?nobody called me a grafter then." Applause shook the building. Sunlay fired forth: "Come up here and call me a grafter?better have your pictures taken first. You won't know what you looked like once unless you do." Fair Game to Sunday. All of the morals from the Jacob itory were "Billy" Sunday's fair game. "They called this man Jacob," he said. "In those days they gave people names not because they sounded pretty, but because they meant something. Say, what's your name?" And Sunday squatted down and leered at bis audience, as though he wasn't going to let a single person escape the question. "That's what God's going to ask you?the way he asked Jacob! When he asked Jacob what his name was, Jacob said it meant 'a schemer:' and he was a schemer; so when he told his name he confessed his sin. Confess your sin to the Lord; tell the Lord your name and God will do to you what he did to Jacob. He'll give you a new name. "He told Jacob, 'Thy name henceforth shall be Israel,' which means a prince?a power for the Lord. "Oh yes, God will hear you all right," and "Billy" Sunday stretched his arms wide, as if to show that all his audiences and all the audiences that he ever preached to would be nearo. "Uoa will near me tutti iiiiuei in his pit, and the girl of the redlight district weeping in the arms of Jesus, and he'll hear you, white or black, just as quickly as he'll hear President Wilson. When we confess our sins, when we fall before God, there are no distinctions." And when he repeated this, banging on his pulpit, he got a sweeping roar of applause. "I don't care if your hands are blood red. throw your arms around Jesus Christ and God will hear you. All heaven will come to your rescue. "How do you feel?"?and he drew a new breath and flashed up again as though attacking a new subject, so that everyone sat up and took notice. "How do you feel, you miserable, rigarette-smoking buck-wart, and can't earn J10 a week: how do you feel about it?" Then he told how he once had gone out at mother's request to save one of these "cigarettesmoking buck-warts." "And his mother said. 'You won't go into a saloon after him, would you. Mr. Sunday?' Well, about going into a saloon after a man's soul, I feel about like General Wayne did at Stony Point. When George Washington asked him, 'Would you storm Stony i Point?" General Wayne said. 'General j Washington, you make the plans and I I'll storm hell.' " With his scornful drawl, he mimieked the accents of the parlor social ists. "My Socialist friend tells me that 'as poverty increases among the working classes, crime increases in almost equal ratio.' Now I don't want to quarrel with my Socialist friend, although I am no Socialist:" the "no" was as big as a brass band. "But don't you try to explain any man's crime to me on an economic basis. It may work with a few, but It doesn't work with enough cases to count. If the deeds of men and women are black, It's because their hearts are black." And Sunday glared down over his pulpit, and he looked black. Heart Right; Conduct Right. "When the heart, the source of conduct, is right, the conduct is right. The mission of the church is to purify the heart. And, oh, Philidelphians," he almost chanted, "I bring you the remedy for the world's sin: Jesus Christ and his gospel. tsy ine gospei In my life I've made lots of wrong thlgs right with God." Then he whirled as though he had spied somebody climbing up the platform with a gun. "And if there's anybody I hate," he hissed, "It's the kind of a person who's always throwing up in your face the kind of a life you used to live, when you've given up that kind of a life now." He was continually returning to the Jacob story. "Jacob had power with God because he confessed his sins and because he prayed to God with sincerity. You'll have power with God when you come to regard your prayer as checks on the bank of heaven. Do you know what makes a check valuable? It's the name on the bottom. And what's your name worth on the bottom of a check on the bank of heaven?" He was working toward a climax. It came. He fairly bawled his conclusion to thip period. "What's your name worth? Why, you can pray in the name of the preacher: you can pray in the name of the presiding elder; you can pray in the name of the pope: you can pray in the name of your old mother: you can pray in the name of your dead baby, and God won't hear you. But you pray in the name of Jesus Christ! That's the power of this world, and God will hear you!" Sunday's hoarsness got his nerve a little. "I wish you had to preach like I do, sister," he said, with obvious self control, to a woman who coughed. Then he beamed: "You Just try it for one night and you'll be all in for a month." Again, when he was getting after those "self-complacent" Pennsylvanians. "Man must be an active force," he shouted, swinging his arms. "You are not a Dead Sea waiting to receive a Jordan." He pointed the way to religion through patriotism. "Our old ship of state was launched in prayer," he said. "In the constitutional convention, old Ben Franklin, who had taken his Turkish bath in French infidelity. but had too much sense to be an infidel, all the same, got up and said: 'We cannot form a republic without God's aid; and. therefore, I move you, sir, that this convention be opened with prayer.' The constitution was cradled in prayer. The infant republic was nourished with prayer." Last of all, he talked about love. "It makes me sick," he said, "for a man to wait until his wife dies and then pile the flowers high on her coffin and blow himself to a handsome piece of marble marked "At when chp's worn herself out manicuring her nails over a washtub with his dirty duds in it and sewing on his buttons, and broiling his ham and bacon and beefsteak for him. Any wife wants flowers now, not when she's dead. The money that's spent for 'Gates Ajar' wreaths ought to be spent for a hired girl now. I'd rather have one rosebud now than 10,000,000 when I'm dead. "Now go home and kiss her good night and be happy." AN EVENTFUL YEAR In Many Respects 1914 Stands Alone in Unusual Developments. In many respects the year 1914 has been the most momentous In modern history. Overshadowing all else Is the great European war, which began with startling suddenness in the early days of August, and has waged violently for five months. On one side are ranged German, Austria-Hungary and Turkey; on the other are England with her colonies, France, Russia, Servia, Belgium and Japan, and Portugal has also recently declared for the allies. The war was precipitated by the murder on June 28, at Seraveyo, Bosnia, of the Archduke Franz Fredinand of Austria, heir to the throne, and his wife. Demands were made upon Servia by Austria and not complied with. War quickly followed, Germany, England, Russia and France becoming involved. Japan entered the war August 23, and Turkey October 29. Germany started to invade France by crossing Belgium and met with stubborn resistance. Obstacles being overcome, the Germans made a famous dash for Paris, but by September 5, the tide was turned and they were pushed back across France nearly to the border of Belgium, where hard fighting has been going on ever since with varying success. In Poland, Galacia and East Prussia, vigorous war has been waged between the Russians on one side, Germans and Austrians on the other. There have been victories for both sides. The great navies have not met in battle of consequence, though some ships on both sides have been sunk. After four years of war, Mexico is still in a state of chaos. President Wilson tried to settle matters by arbitration, and Argentine, Brazil and Chili aided. After hearings from April to July, this move failed. Gen. Huerta left the country, July 20. On November 2, Gen. Gutierrez was proclaimed president, but he is not recognized by Villa and Zapata, and internecine war still prevails. The Panama canal has been completed. Wilson's new policies have been put in force, revised tariff, reserve banks and other measures. On January 13, a volcano destroyed the city of Kagoshima, in Japan. The American government has provided for the building of a railroad in Alaska for $35,000,000. On May 25, the British house of commons passed the Irish home rule Kill A new pope rules at Rome. Delia Chiesa succeeding Pope Pius X., deceased, under title of. Pope Benedict XV. MAKE-UP OF A MAN All Men Can be Rich if They Only Will. When the various ingredients thai go to make him are considered, a man appears to be a creature of some value. The centuries are under the hat of the least and the humblest, even as they were before the army of Napoleon at the Pyramids. Nature worked a long, long time "to find at last the shape and soul of man." and behind her obedient manipulation < f the material was the all-wise infinitude i 4 .. *?1? K<. Ol purpusi' Agitaai* 1CII mini nc vuwvu a species "a thought of the Creator." You may be as neglected as you think and prate that you are. yet kindly consider how much of love and toiling thought have gone toward you and iived round you to give you even this precarious present standpoint that you despise and wish to change. You are the survivor not of one line of ancestry alone, but of the whole of history with its buried Caesars, its silent Shakespeares, its kings and emperors RUINED REIMS SEEI Iv | (A rnimp . iIH hb 9k $8?&: ? ^|| BHP^ S This photograph, made from one < of Reims, was made while the Oerma the foreground Is the wrecked home o the., " .jne with planetary lustre for a little \ Idle and now are not so bright as a glow-worm that a child may hold In his hand. When you came into the world you inherited all of it, and found that every one who ever dwelt here, laid down his life, though he knew It not, to prepare it for you. You grow tired of giving, tired of having your sleeve plucked all the time by some beggary that plaintively insists upon its worthiness. Now is your turn, you think. You would like to rest and take your ease and enjoy your share. It is about time that the benefits you have bestowed upon your fellows were returned, and you look for the restoration of the balance. But have you not seen, do you not know, that you might give all you have and do all you can. and still you would not discharge your indebtedness to the infinite grace and bounty that have held you close and warmed and fed you since you first drew breath? "Arrant nonsense!" is the sharp rejoinder of some who wonder where the next meal is to come from; who cannot nay for coal and light: who drudge at the washboard for a pittance; whose only music is the voice of a fretted, ailing infant; whose landscape is paintless boards and a wall of brick. "This is the vaporous fancy of a man who sits at ease in a quiet room, warmed and nourished, putting words on paper. Little enough does the writer know of the misery ?hat never finds its way into print or beneath the flap of an envelope. We who suffer most are the most silent, and we have no use for the nosing, poking reformer that calls himself a sociologist; we only pray him to go his way and let us fight it out alone, here in the dark." The wretchedest miser and hermit that ever wrapped his sullen cloak about him and defied his kind; the most miserable fakir that ever hung head downwards or sat on spikes in India; the poorest wight that ever groveled in the mud when he might have stood and talked with angels face to face, was an heir apparent in the line royal of his race. It is not possible to be so poor that a man cannot be rich in many things?rich like Chaucer's parson in "thought and work" if in nothing more. How much a man owns, as long as he owns himself! All that was ever done for him is his forever. This teacher taught him to hold his tongue, under whatever provocation; this other teacher said a word or two that he still hears above all noises round him now. He saw somewhere an old man who was kind, a woman who was thoughtful and a child that told the truth. What happy chance enriched his life with these small things, whose sum is a golden treasury? By them he has become so much more than the man vou see: he is all he has experienced and all that he remembers, and however often he falls, however low he sinks he is still a man. and far horizons beckon him still. CARTRIDGES START FIRE Men in Trenches Well Nourished but Suffer from Cold. "So matter how fierce the attack, the men in the trenches are kept well nourished," writes a French soldier from the firing line. "Fresh meat, beans, lentils, dried peas or rice, cheese of sardines, preserves or cakes of chocolate, half a pint of wine for | each man, and since the cold weather . set in. a nip of brandy In addition to j our coffee; that's our fare.

Half Your Living Without Money Cost A right or wrong start in 1915 will make or break most farmers in the Cotton States. We are all facing a crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is upset. The supply merchant cannot advance supplies on 1915 cotton. You must do your best to produce on your own acres the food and grain supplies that have made up most of your store debt in the past. A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round, can be made to pay half your living. It will save you more money than you made on the best five acres of cotton you ever grew! But it must be a real garden, and not tne mere one-pianting patch in the spring and fall. Hastings' 1915 Seed Book tells all about the right kind of a money-saving garden and the vegetables to put in it. It tells about the field crops as well and shows you the clear road to real farm prosperity, comfort and independence. IT'S FREE. Send for it today to H. G.

Each Clubmaker will be held individually responsible for the payment of the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where it is desired to discontinue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmaker may do so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. When a subscription has been paid in rull, it cannot ue discontinued, me ciuomaKer * however may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscrlp- ^ tion to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer is to be made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our books. Xo name will be counted in competition for a premium until the subscription price has been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Club maker has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the *, Club. In case of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but where both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting the name for one year for each such payment. After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permitted. This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to makesuch transfers, they must concede bur right to take such steps as may seem necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubntaker who returns names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay fornames already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is not for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the competition. Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postoffice. The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not give that Clubmaker a right to return it this year. All subscriptions moist be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when it is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postotflce Money Order. In sending the names, Always give correct names or initinls, and present postoflice address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking r>?ifofni nhsorvnnco nt this will he the means of avoiding much trouble and confusion.
