On the day The Boy was eleven * years old he visited an artist friend who likes boys. The artist enter tained him royally. He gave him a gun and cigarette coupons wortm $2.50. The Boy was proud of the gun. but he thought still more of the cou pons. "What are you going to get with them, son.?" asked The Boy's mother. "I don't know," said The Boy. His mother was about to offer a few suggestions but The Boy's father interfered.. "Just youi let Bob alone, he said. "Let him pick out his own prize. Hei knows what he wants." "But he'll get something foolish." argued the practical mother. "No, he won't." said the father. "That boy's got the best judgment of any boy I ever saw. He won't throw his money away. He'll come home with something useful-somethirtg that he needs right on the spot. I wouldn't be afraid to bet on that." So the mother finally gave in. On Saturday The Boy went down town to exchange his coupons for a prize. When he came home the family was gathered at the dinner table talking about him. "Come, dear." said his mother. "show mama what her little boy got." They sat expectant while the boy tnwrapped his prize. After a little they spoke. The mother said. "oh: oh! oh!" and the father said. "Well, I'll be blessed!"' The boy had bought a razor. WANTED TO SLEEP:~ Curious That a Tired Proacher Shoul Have Such Desire. 'A minister speaks of the curious ef feet of Grape-Nuts food on him and how it has relier'ed him.

T-eIit history of the church is but a his tory of the stru;ggle l'etwen men and woieni like this Frenehman. on the one hand,. and. on the other hand. those who have had no :lace for a smile in their reli;ion. The world has never Iackehid the stole anid the sensualist. To the stoiC the church has seemed very lax. To the sensualist she has seemed too strict. The church always has stood aid always will stantd against the puI)rpIeless lives of both of these extremes. If to the l(more pleasure seeker the church has- seemzed dogmatic and (amnlllatoly. we must remmbel that pleasure has been tyr:tnical and brazen and absurd. To him who wor ships the ;"od of pleasure. .v.en other wIse harmiless pleasures becolle dissi pation till the worbl is full of the in sipid inl le':rt and the vile in chmracter amd the pmrpos less In life.

Yet desire for food and clothes is no motre anl inidicati.on of the physiely robus. and normal man Than ate tIle demnan(s for laughter and amusrinent indices 'of the normal. mental and spir inual man. The questin is not. there fore. one jof amuusennts. but wlt kind and how much. No doubt that the chur:hii has often heen too closely -id with the stoic in exercising daumiatory power respect ing all forms of amusemnts. It le fore we censure too severely let us tahe into account the ccnditlonus of her early history. The church b.igan her mighty march of conquest in cities where all sorts of lwd anid obscelne :1nmusenmenIts were tie rule-Ilome. Corinth. Ephe stis. etc. In these eities the god of pleasure held such hi.gh 'inival that industry xas,0 thtottied and domestic life was weaikened. Rome's great amn phitheatre. seating :IS5.0MY- people. could easily be tilled with the morhid crowd that measured the worti of the amuse ments by the fury of the entertain nent and by the number of men and horses slain mterely for their amutse iment. The Emel)Cror Trlojan gave a three nionths' show in which 10.00 menII an7Id 11,000 hentsts were slain to amuse the very belst peolie of IRome. Men would appear 01n thet stage dressed gorgeousuly. when suddenly flatmes would burst forth all over their bocdies and they wouldl die writhing ill agony of Ilamues to thle delight of the god of plea sure. 0Ofteni Christ Im s were forced specta tors and often un will:ng partici pants in these brutalities. "Food :md fun" was the hilanrious cery of these anmltsemenvt lovin:g ,op' that haute~td with its awful hiss tile '.ars of the dylug gladiators. The popularity of the ruler was measured by his willing ness and ability to satisfy' this cry for *food and fun." An unwilling wit ness to these deleheries in the name of :tmusement. can wve wonder that comting from such at birthpilace the church has ait tinu s been extreme? Gibbon tells us thatt in the days of Rome's worst faminers shec dismissed her senators and patronts of art, b)ut to satisfy her god of pleasure she kept her vile vestal vir'gine and her Ci000 dancerts and singers of the lewd sort to amuse her as she stagger'ad iown to dleath or lay in the lotut convuisions of her dying hour. He will not criticise too harshly the church who has come with her down her Listorie way and has witnessed her death struggle with the professional dispensers (if amuse ment. who, as vile in purpose as the vestal virgins and who for financial gain will pandler to the selfish and sensual moods of mena till they leave those who othenvise would be noble men and women, mere derelicts on ife'3 set to the men't-e of the innocent voyagers. Even to-day under the speli of this pleasure goodl men will pay au uncom plaining tribute to her and de not hesitate to keep an open account with the dispensers of hilariouis and sensui ous amusements about (lance halls and1( theatres. while at the samte time they will become exceedingly poor and sav ing if approached for charity or phillan thropy or justice.

Frederick Wolfingar of Oxford, War ren county, found among the brush a few days ago a golL watch and chain, says a dispatch fpom Orange. N. J. About twelve years ago Nicholas Lompshire lived rear the place, and his daughter, who was then 14 years of age, got as a birthday present from him a gold watch and chain. One day while in search f chestnuts she lost the gift. A vaia search for it fol lowed. When jr. Wolfinger found the timepiece the other day he took it to Mr. Lompshire, who lives on Bel videre avenue, Oxford. Mr. Lomp shire identified the watch. The hands had been rusted off and the works were in bad coi.dition from dampness, but the case vwas in excellent condi tion.
