SURELY HARD MAN TO PLEASE Artist Did His Best, but Somehow Managing Editor Would Not , Be Satisfied. An artist was drawing a cartoon wherein the flag of our nation played a large part. He drew the flag, first time, with five stars in the blue field and took It to the managing editor, who promptly let out a yelp. "Wadye think this country is," said the managing editor, "a trust?" "What's the trouble?" asked the art ist. "Trouble," bellowed the managing editor, "why, we need more stars, Btars, stars!" So the artist brought the picture back, and this time he had 117 stars in it by actual count. The managing editor felt his head and choked slightly. "What do you think you're draw ing?" he asked at last. "You're the hardest man to pleas? I ever met in my life," said the artist indignantly; "first it's too few and then it's too many. How many star* do jou want, anyway?" Happy Future.

ADDDAUCn RYTUP PRFQIHFNT m This Action Does Away With the Court Martial and Puts an End to the Friction That Has ExistrJ For a Long Time. Washington^?Adjt. Gen. Fred C. Ainsworth, who was relieved of his office on charges assumed to be those of conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, was placed on the re tired list on his own application. This precludes the possibility of a court martial. President Taft approv ed General Ainsworth's application because of the officer's thirty-seven years of service. Friends of General Ainsworth in the House of Representatives, who resent the charge that the adjutant general had been surreptitiously giv ing information to the military af fairs committee, were planning to in stitute a thorough investigation into the War Department. Chairman Hay of the committee declared that so far as he was concerned the officer's decision ended the agitation in Con gress. With the avowed intention of put ting an end to friction that lor years has existed between the officers of the line and those of the staff, the House adopted an amendment to the army appropriation bill which was passed consolidating the divisions of the chief of staff, the adjutant gen eral and the inspector general under one head, that of the bureau of the general staff. The chief ,of stalf would be the directing head of the v...nr>/->? ?>/? Viuromi with the other two pi V uut Wbu, ? officers as staff associates. Tie House also effected consolidation of the supply departments of the irrr.y under a general head. As another part of the reorganiza tion of the array and the War Depart ment, the House also abolished five of the fifteen regiments of cavalry. No Confederate Gray for Convicts. Nashville, Tenn.?Chairman J. S. Beasley, of the Tennessee prison board in response to the widespread comment on the proposed adoption of gray as a uniform for the first grade convicts, said: "The facts are that the board has collected samples of uniforms from about twenty prisons. Nearly all of them are some shade of gray. That of Missouri, a South ern state, is more nearly the Confed erate gray than any other. The uni form that the board intended to se lect is a shade of gray. But this gray is as different from Confederate gray a3 it is from the Federal blue. To Eend Wholesale Frauds. Washington.?To end alleged whole sale frauds in interstate commerce, shippers, consignees and bankers ap pealed to the Senate interstate com merce committee to recommeu'i legis lation to make railroads absolutely liable for all statements in bills of lading. The movement has for its purpose legislation to upset a decis ion of the Supreme Court of the Unit ed States of 1888 to the effect that un interstate railroad was rot liaole on a bill of lading, signed by a Nation agent, unless the goods actually had heen received by the railroad. Beflieve There Is Foul Play. Sapulpia, Okla.?A post mortem ex amination of William Berryhill, a mil lionaire producing land owner, who died suddenly was begun by physi cians at the instructions of relatives who assert they believe that the dead man was the victim of foul play. The aged man, father of Amos Berryhill, was found dead in his bed room at the family home here. Sensational de velopments are not unexpected when the final report of the physicians is tnade.

Premier Kokostoff and the majority of the members of the cabinet are in favor of cheap loans being advanced to cotton growers in order to make Russia independent of foreign cotton and especially of American cotton. | Quintuple Hanging In Chicago JaH.

Wlllitm Brans, D. I)., Wrector Rlbla Coars* Mxxxijr BlUlo LasUiaie, Chicago. LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 25. BAPTISM AND TEMPTATION OF JESUS. rrcsso.sr TEXT-Mark 1:9-13: M'att MEMORY VERSES?MatL 4:JM. GOLDEN TEXT-For In that Hp Hin - self hath suffered being tempted. He It able tn succor them that are tempted.? Heb. 2:18. Three things deserve special notice In connection with the scene of the baptism of Christ: The baptiim it self. the descending dove, and the heavenly voice. The baptism of Christ is connected with the fact that Christ was thirty Fears old. This was the age when Le vltical priests were set apart and con secrated to their office. The baptism, therefore, has reference to the priestly office of Christ. By submitting to bap tism Jesus Identifies himself with the world's sin. He appears as the "Lamb of God which taketh Lway the sin of the world." Christ was born with sjjeciflc reference to man's sin. so he here identifies himself with that sin. for removal of which' l;e had come In to the wor!d. Christ's baptism then was not per sonal--for he himself was sinless. The lesson tells us that while others, ifter their baptism, stood confessing .heir sins in the Jordan, he immedl itely went up out of the water, for le bad no sins to confess?but official md representative. Christ submitted ,o the same baptism which the genera 'inn nf vl noro ViaH rocpivpri not be ?ause he was one of tbem, but because le was their represer tatlve, and had :ome to take upon himself their sins. Christ; in submitting to John's bap dsm, set his seal upon the divinely ippointed ministry of John as the ful filment of the Old Testament >rophecy. He recognized In John's baptism God's plan for him, and he lubmitted to It without questioning, if any man in his own right did not >eed baptism. It was Christ. By this ict, Jesus set his eefl upon the rite jf baptism, a rite which may be aban loned only when it no longer teaches iny truth. Rebellion against customs ?nd rites?for rebellion's sake is vicious ndividualism. ! The descent of the Holy Spirit Indi cates Christ's equipment for his serv ce. In his eermon In the synagogue ne referred to this truth when he said, the spirit of the Lord God is resting apon me. because he hath anointed ne to preach the gospel. Even Christ ?ould not accomplish his life work without the Eld of the divine spirit.' \"or can we. The voice from heaven could scarce y have been heard by Christ without lis associating 'it with the identifica tion of himself with the servant of the Lord in the prophecy of Isaiah (chap ters 42 to 60). The temptation is closely allied to the baptism of Christ; indeed, it is based on the proclaimed sonshlp of the baptism. From this we learn that .he greatest temptations ofttlmes, ln Jeed generally follow the greatest blessings. The temptation was a real event, and not a mere mental or soul strug ?le. The personality of Satan 1b as ?vjdent as the personality of Christ n the narrative. Nor Is there, any blng in the story to indicate that it is an allegory, but everything predi cates a reality. All of the temptations were along Hie line of Christ's intention to estab lish the Kingdom of God in the world. Satan's suggestion to Christ was to hake a short cut to the obtaining of the Kingdom. The adversary did not ask Christ to do ?i single wrong thing; he did .suggest doing right things in a wrong way and with wrong motives. There is nothing wrong in being hungry and satisfying hunger, but it is'sinful to use wrong measures :o satisfy even so natural an appetite. Nor is It wrong to trust in the word md promises of God for deliverance when we find ourselves In places of Janger. but it is wrong to unnecessar ily p'ice ourselven in compromising wsiti is because of the temptations of the evil one, and then presume to rely upon the promise? of God to extricate as from a position Into which we have thus been brought. Such is not an ict of faith, but cf presumption?It Is Tempting the Lord God. Nor is it wrong to engage in *.he act of worship, but it is sinful to worship anything Dr anybody other \*ban God, even though by thus worshiping we gain a worldly ennoblement thereby. Christ's method n* victory is signi ficant. He docs not resort to dazzling | inventions or manifest any attempt at shrewdness in his answers. He does ' not even try to be original. He goes j to the quiver of God 3 word, and takes ' Dut an arrow that had been polished by much use, and hurls it at the ad versary. He exenip les the psalmist's expression: "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that 1 might not sin igainst thee." No doubt Jesus quoted from memory. Herein lies the bless ng of learning gospel texts, and of storing the memory with scripture. Jesus was tempted in all points like is we are. We must not tnink that :hese three temptations were the only :>nes Christ endured, even in the wild erness. The narrative says that "When Satan had finished all the (whole :ycle of) temptations, he left him for i season." This implies that there .vere other temptations, and that his >vhole life was beset by temptations. There Is not a single note in the great organ of our humanity, which, vi en touched, does not produce a sym nathctic vibration In the mighty scope ind range of our master's being ex cept the jarring discord of sin. He was, tempted in all points like as w( ire. yet without sin. He is able ^eiWore. to sympathize with and help < i*i all our temptations. HE WAS SOMEWHAT PEEVED Attendant at Spiritualistic Seance Con-j sidered Himself Aggrieved and Said So. Charles M. Cross of Indianapolis thinks variety adds spice to life, so he went to a spiritualistic service. It was a lively afTalr with sepulchral voices sounding through trumpets, tambourines playing mysteriously in mid air, and cold, clammy bands of partially materialized men and women making free in the dusky room with those who were in the flesh. In the midst of It something dealt Mr. Cross a vicious whack on the nose and he called for lights in a tone not to be disobeyed. With the light the circle as disclosed was all natural and hu man again. The most human member of it was Mr. Cross, with a bloody nose, spoiling for a fight and all the "madder" because he did not know whom to fight. "Who did that?" he demanded of the medium. The medium said the gay spirit was that of St. Peter. But even this explanation did not satisfy Mr. Cross. "Well, all I ask of St Peter," he said, "is to materialize for just one minute and if I don't make a vacancy for a new gatekeeper I won't ?sk to get in."?Indianapolis News.

Representative Dan Anthony of Kansas, publisher of/the Leavenworth Times, once had an office boy who yearned to know how to use a type writer ? which accomplishment, tha boy figured, would make him a regular reporter. Anthony turned an old broken-down machine over to him, says the Wash ington Herald, and bade him learn to run It. "What'll I write?" the boy asked. "Oh, Just take some sentence, any sentence at all," Anthony told him, "and see how long it will take you to fill a page with if." / < The boy set to work. An hour or two later Anthony chanced to notice the page on which the lad had been working. From top to bottom of the sheet, and from margin to margin, the boy had written one sentence over and over again until there was scarcely a white spot visible on the paper. The sentence the boy had selected to pra** tice with was: "Who the invent ed school?" LAFTER THE DOCTOR FAILED. Even the most stubborn cases of malaria yield to Elixir Babek.
