Several progressive business men of
Singapore, anticipating this, imported
a large number of American barber
chairs, and they are now unable to

also been learned that the Chinese insist

By Donald Allen <
(Copyright. 1912, by Associated Literary
Press.) 1
When young Clf.rence Dayton !
| stepped Into his auto waiting for him t
' at the depot at Short Hills on his re- .
turn from the city, h< had just three ,
miles to go to reach :he family man- *
slon. There wasn't the slightest oc- .
I casion for haste. He would simply ,
take a seat on the veranda when he t
reached the house and probably fall j
asleep.
"Hit *er up!"
That's what young Dayton said to j
the chauffeur as he sntered the car.
The chauffeur proceded to hit. As
he had just been jilted by the cook at t
the Dayton mansion he was ready to .
face death.
Farmer Saulbury was on his way to l
the village to do some "trading," and
on the four fingers ot his left hand
his wife had tied fou:' strings, lest he
j forget. They stood for a quart of .
molasses, a can of baking powder, ,
! three poinds of sugar and a package
of starch. As he Jogged along with
his old horse and ri:kety wagon the
i fanner kept counting the strings and
1 naming over the respective articles.
In so doing he forgot that the automobile
Industry of America was still
on the Job, and the horse was left
to pick his own going.
Young Dayton's chauffeur might
have been looking over the landscape
| on either side of the highway, or he
j might have had hit. eyes closed as
; ho thought of the perfidy of the cook
who had led him on and on until he
{ had declared his lcve and then hit
him with a four-story brick house.
As for the young man he might not
; have been thinking of anything, and
had his eyes on the toeB of his shoes,
i When both farmer and auto are
: properly encouraged there Is a getting
together. There was In this case.
There was a crash and there was a
j smash?shouts and yells, and there
they were! The old horse was dead,
the buggy wrecked, and the farmer
, hoisted over the fence among the
thistles. The auto was banged, the
chauffeur knocked ebout, and young
There Were Some Awful Threat*
Made.
* i
Dayton had a bad limp on him as he
arose from the dust of the road.
"You've done It now?b'goah you're (
done It!" Bhouted the farmer as he
hung to the fence. I
"Yaas," drawled young Dayton, with '
an accent that would have done credit
to a Hindoo In London.
"And why In the devil were you
; here Instead of somewhere else?" de- ]
manded the chauffeur.
There v. %s more Jawing, and there ;
were some awful threats made. By ,
the great horn spoon, and the little
brass spoon, and various other spoons, ,
that farmer wanted $500 damages, and ]
wouldn't take a cent less. He spoke ,
of warrants, arrests, sheriffs. Jails and
state prisons, and he was still speak- (
lng when the auto limped off.
Young Dayton never settled things ,
on the spot?not even when he bought ,
cigarettes. There was a suit for damages.
A week after the accident Miss
Mollle Dayton, who had the honor of
being the sister of Mr. Clarence, at- 1
tended a lawn party. At the gathering
she was Introduced to George 1
Graham, and they were very con- 1
genial. Being asked about the accl- '
dent, the girl made a good witness on 1
the stand. She repeated all that she 1
had been told about It. and then she 1
had something to add. Clarence had 1
secured a lawyer to defend the suit,
but the father thought and she
thought he had made a great mistake.
He had retained a fledgling who had
never had a case. He had been re
talned because he was a classmate i
at college.
The father said, and that was also i
her Idea, that the young lawyer was i
a person who wouldn't come within a 1
hundred miles of making a decent defence.

would likely get every cent of It
Mr. Graham listened and did not
alk much. Now and then hii face
ushed, but as it was a warm day Miss
VIollle laid K to the heat. When she
lad finished her narrative she asked
lis opinion of Clarence's chances and
ie replied:
"One can never tell how a lawsuit

prove more than a match for the othtr
side!"
"If he does I'll shake hands with

Up to the day the suit was called

brother and sister were on hand at

"I should say! Come along and

"And Injured?"
"Injured? Why, It scraped most of
the hide offn me, end I was lame for
two hull weeks afterwards!"
'That was too bad. Now, Mr. Saut
t>ury, you know the rules of the road,
don't you?"
"I've knewed 'em ever since I was
Itnee-high to a grasshopper. You
keep to the right-hand side."
'That's correct Why didn't you do
so In this case?"
"I did, sir."
'Then why was the dead body of
the horse found on the left-hand side
together with the wreck of the buggy?
Why were you tossed over the fence
an that side?"
"The hoss?the boss "
"Yes, the horse?"
"He must have Jogged over when I

"Yes, he must. Can you expect damages

The farmer was non-suited on hlB

"Perhaps I- wt.s a bit to blame In

ipeed, and this hundred dollars will
it least pay for your old horse."

Mr. Graham, but he had his eye on

"You know you agreed to shate

"But why did you let me talk to

her hand.
"And you are to send me all the

Poor Mollle could hardly speak a
word on the way home, and after the
arrival there her exultant brother
added to the situation by saying:
"Sis, there was but one thing to do
under the circumstances, and I did It.
Mr. Graham will be here to dinner."
"I won't see him!"
"And after dinner you will be left
alone with him."
"I won't!"
"And he will plead and win his second

but her brother does not tako

ire the palakis and kajavahs the
quaintest contrivances for travel to
be seen anywhere. These "Persian
cabs" are fixed upon mules. Each
snimal carries two of them, one on
sach nide. They are furnished with
bedding. Men, women and children
sit In them cross-legged, a painful and
Irksome position for Europeans, who
usually prefer to ride a horse or donkey
rather than screw themselves up
!n these boxes.
Some skill, too, is required in loading
up the mule with Its human
freight. care being taken that the two
people who travel side by side are
about the same weight. If a tiny husband
and a fat wife have to go together,
his box must be filled up with
ballast so as to equalize the weight.
Similar care has to be exercised in
dismounting, for if one passenger
Jumps out without giving warning of
his intention, his neighbor is shot to

churches that exist in modern 8yrla

church, whom he interviewed at

the way was his birthplace, to gather
material. He knew the Arabic language

in which nobody could recognize

valuable information. ^

AUTOMOBILE HAS A Wl.<l.
French Motor Car Is Driven in the
Same Manner as an
Aeroplane.
A successful trial run wts made re
cently from Paris to London, about
320 miles, by a motor car driven by
a revolving wing, the Paris Figaro
states.
The vehicle, which was designed by
M. Bertrand de Lesseps, and is called
the "wingedcar," has the appearance
of an ordinary motor car, save that
in front It is shaped like the prow of a
ship. From the extremity of the
prow extends a shaft to which is
attached the propeller?or revolving
wing?invented by M. Fillppl.
The wing is small, strong and thick
and revolves within a protecting cage.
The engine is of 40 horsepower and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission.
There is no other mechanism, the
wheels of the car being free, except
for footbrakes. By the side of tho
driver is a single lever which controls
the clutch and the forward and
reverse movement of the wing. The
wing can be reversed at a moment's
notice, thereby forming an additional
brake. In the trial runs a speed of
62 miles an hour was obtained with
2,100 revolutions of the wing a minute.
One curious feature was that the
car made no dust.

LESSON FOR SEPT. 1.
DEATH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST
LE8SON TEXT-Mark
GOLDEN TEXT?"Be thou faithful unto
death, and I will give thee the crown of
life."?Rev. 1:10.
The story of Hamlet and Banquo's
ghost It no more vivid or dramatic
than the story of the tragedy of John
the Baptlat.
"And King Herod heard of him,"
v. 4. Of course Herod would hear of
the riilng young cousin of John who
was creating such a stir throughout
Galilee. His coarse, sinful, Ucentluus,
heart cringed at the rebuke of such a
life of purity, one that performed so
many good deeds, one who was constantly
ministering to others as contrasted
with the life of Herod, who
only ministered to his own selfish
lusts. 3mall wonder he should exclaim,
"It Is Joim whom I beheaded,"
and one can heftr in fancy the rising
tide of terror that surged through his
heart as he must have screamed, "He
Is risen from the dead!" The first
three verses of the lesson are a vivid
picture of how the fame of this young
Galliean affected the consciencestricken
and guilty-hearted usurper
upon the throne.
Who was this Herod? In the first
place, he was guilty of the Bin of Incest,
for he had married the wife of
his brother Philip, who was still living.
From verse eighteen of the lesson
we learn further that the bold and
- ?v..Int
courageous jonn una reuuncu >nui
this evil and as a result Herod had
cast him Into prison, and though he
may have desired, yet he did not as
yet dare to take his life. Added to
this Is the anger of a sinful wom*n. j
The purest flower that - blooms Is a
godly woman. The vilest and most
vindictive creature upon earth Is
most frequently a fallen woman. We
need to remember In this case that
Herodlas was aware of the heights
from which she had fallen for she
was of Jewish descent. She had first
married Herod Philip I. then eloped
to marry this Herod Antlpas. who was
also her step-uncle and who at the
time had a wife living.
John a Just Man.
This precipitated a war which resulted
In the overthrow and utter
loss of the army belonging to the
father of Herod's lawful wife. Why
did Herod hesitate to comply with all
that Herodlas desired? Verse 20 tells
us, because John "was a Just man and
an holy." Righteousness Is often a
man's surest safeguard. Herod was
not altogether devoid of conscience as
we have already seen, and this Is
further evidence of that fact. Verse
20 adds that when Herod heard him
he was "perplexed and heard him
gladly." We believe that Herod was
seeking some sort of a recanting upon
the part of John, that he was glad
(anxious) to hear from his Hps some
sort of statement that would Justify
his liberation and was perplexed over
the persistence of John, who, though
In prison, never for one moment lowered
his standard of divine righteous
ness, nor trimmed bla sails so as to
catch the wind of Herod's popular
favor. That this was John's attitude
and that It was known to Herodlas Is
evident from the beginning of the
verse 21. "and when a convenient day
was come." Herodlas was all too
ready and willing to selie her opportunity.
To evidence her depths of depravity
and also her anxiety, note that Herodlas
was willing to sacrifice the modesty
of her own daughter to gain her
ond. The use of the word "herself"
v. 22 R. V., Is evidence that It was
an unusual thing for this daughter of
a queen thus to exhibit herself.
Now note the oath of the liquor and
lust-drunken king. What an appalling
request. What a terrible consequence.
What lengths men will go to "keep
their word" given thoughtlessly or uttered
In the heat of passion. This Is
one of the blackest pictures of history.
A lust-driven, licentious potentate,
a rebuked but vindictive queen,
slave of these same passions.
Not Real Sorrow.

the ends of a murderous mother.

stricken down In the midst of an orgy
of passion. Herod's sorrow was not
"unto repentance" (v. 26) but rather
that of a guilty conscience.
We need now to return again to the
first verse of the lesBon and we con
well believe It must have been a sad
wall, "He Is risen" (v. 16). History
tells us Herod lost his kingdom and
that he and Herodlas died In exile.
Let us turn from this awful picture
and look at John. How different. Thus
dies he who was the greatest born of
a woman. Thus died one who dared
to rebuke evil in high places. One
who would not compromise to save
his life, and one who was faithful unto
death fsee the Golden Text). Tan we
hpsltate to believe that John received
his crown?

HANDS ITCHED AND BURNED
Warrenton, Va.?"My llttlo girl was
troubled with eczema for three years.
Her hands burned and Itched and looked
as If they were scalded. She could
not sleep at night; I had to be up all
night to keep her hands In warm wa-1
ter. She rubbed her hands and largo
white blisters came full of yellow water.
Then sores came and yellow corruption
formed. She could not take
hold of anything with her hands. I
used an ointment and tried a treatment,
but nothing did her any good,
so I got some Cutlcura Soap and OTntment.
After bathing her hands with
the Cutlcura Soap and applying the
Cutlcura Ointment I was astonished
to see the great relief, and Cutlcura
Soap and Cutlcura Ointment cured her
' hands In three weeks." (Signed)

THE WAY OUT
Change of Food Brought Success and

An ambitious but delicate girl, after
failing to go through school on ac
count of nervousness and hysteria,
found In Grape-Nuts the only thins
that seemed to build her up and furnish
her the peace of health.
"From Infancy," she says, "I have
not been strong. Being ambitious to
learn at any cost I finally got to the
High School, but soon had to abandon
my studies on account of nervous prostration
and hysteria.
"My food did not agree with me, I
j grew thin and despondent. I could not
enjoy the simplest social affair for I
suffered constantly from nervousness
In spite of all sorts of medicines.
"This wretched condition continued
until I was twenty-five, when I became
Interested In the letters of those who
had cases like mine and who were getting
well by eating Grape-Nu's.
"I had little faith but procured a
box and after the first dish I expe
rlenced a peculiar satisfied feeling
that I lytd never gained from any ordl
nary food. I slept and rested bettet
that night and In a few days began tc
grow Btrongor.
"I had a new feeling and peace anc
re6tfulness. In a few weeks, to mj
great Joy, the headaches and nervous
ness left me and life became brighi
' and hopeful. I resumed my studies
, and later taught ten months with east
