"If I was a girl I wouldn't go walking too far." said old Uncle Robert as a girl of 20 passed him on her way down to the gate of the farmhouse. "And why not?" she asked as she almost came to a pause. "Well, according to my ideas. It's going to rain and snow and blow and hail, and when the storm does break she's going to be a buster. You live in the city and don't know anything about the storms we have out here. I've seen it when we didn't have a train along for four straight days." "I wanted" to go to the poetofflce to mail a letter." "It's three miles there and back, and if I was you I'd put it off. Mebbe somebody'll be paslng that you can send by. To-raorrer's Thanksgiving you know, and we are going to have the awfulest, biggest, nicest dinner anybody ever set down to. It's in your honor, you know. There'll be a turkey, a duck and a chicken; there'll be cranberry sass, pumpkin pies, currant J2II, sweet cider and apple dumplin's; there'D be?" "I think I'll just walk a little ways, anyhow," said the girl as she opened the gate and passed down the highway towards the village and the railroad depot. "And if you come home as wet as a hen don't say I didn't warn ye. It'B 1 ? ~ to oonA and lf'? nnlnff tn he n ?1/111 ? iu wujc, auu iv w dv.w0 .w ? ? buster." Half an hour later, a middle-aged woman, with a motherly face and voice came out on the steps and asked: "Pa. do you reckon it's goln' to storm?" "Sure as ducks." "Where's Minnie?" "Oh. she's gone for a starter. I give her warning. What's she ' wantin' to mall a letter for?

I was going to ask ler but forgot It." t "Don't you ask her a word about t." cautioned the wife as she came lown to him. "I guess Minnie's got omething on her mind, but it hain't lone of your business. I reckon he'll tell me when she gets ready, ^eastwise, I hain't goln' to do any a tumping." "Something on her mind, eh? .'hat's funny. Didn't know that girls ver had anything on their minds ex- ^ ept new clothes. Is that why she 8 omc visiting us all of a sudden?" "None o" your business! I guess -?" nipfor'o HaiirrVitar ran pnmn 1 nd see me any time she takes a no- 0 Ion, and that without writing ahead. c that's on her mind, as nigh bb I an make out. is about a young man. ? f I don't tell you you'll worry the hlrt off your back.

They are engaged, and hey've had a falling out, and she's s orter run away from him to find out he really cares for her." "And she's got scared about it and ? as written him a letter to tell here she is?" queried the husband. "Go on! It's probably a letter to ? er ma. though I didn't see it nor sk. I hope she didn't start for jwn. It's going to storm for sure, nd there hain't but one house 011 the oad where she could find shelter. ,ook down the road and see if you t: an see hor." ^ "Can't see hide nor hair of any * Irl." reported Uncle Robert after oing out to the highway and taking T look. J1 An hour later, with both uncle and a unt fidgeting about their girl visitor. 1 tie black clouds that had been bank- E :,g up for hours began to advance h efore a breeze that soon strengthen- d d !nto a gale In five minutes the n ray afternoon had become twilight. w a 15 there was cold rain and lively w all. and Uncle Robert was blown in3 the kitchen to exclaim: ti "1 told her it was going to be a uster, and that she mustn't blame te. I started down the road to meet er. but Lordy what a storm! I 1< ouldn't get 10 rods if I was to die it 3r it!" t< .Miss Minnie had reached town and " tailed her letter and started back gain when the rftorm brfMu^. Before h came she thought she could make ut a human figure on the road ahead it f her. but wasn't sure. The very first ust picked her up and turned her round and deposited her under $ f >ads!de tree. She remained there vg atil the pale began to whip the ranches off. and then let go her old and ran for It Tljfre were limbs lling all about her, and the hallones peppered her until she ran al- fc About the Camel. j fe Following is what Count Glelchen | dl ivs of a camel: "A camel's hind legs ca ill reach anywhere?over his head, oi >und his chest, and on to his hump: , fy ren when lying down an evil dis- ' it jsed animal will shoot out his hind tv gs and bring you to a sitting ri asture.

He pc so bellows and roars at you what- fe rei* ' you' are doing?saddling him, br most blindly. She hadn't gone a quarter of a mile when, as she crouched and covered her face, she was struck by a flying limb and knew no moro. It was the dim sight of the girl and the scream she uttered when hit, that sent the man who was clinging to the roadside fence back into the highway. He bent over the unconscious form and picked it up and stj.ggered back to the fence and followed it until he saw a light and found the gate of a farmhouse. His lusty calls for help soon brought out a man, and the senseless burden was carried into the house and received by a woman. MI don't know who she is, but I found her in the road," explained her rescuer. "There is blood on her hair, and I think she was struck down." "We'll do all we can." replied the man and woman together, "but you mustn't look for much. We are mighty poor folks. We hain't got no camphor nor whisky, and as for getting a doctor out from town?it can't be done to-night." The girl was carried into the only bedroom and laid on the only bed, 1 and when her wet clothing had been removed and she was between the sheets, the woman got a cloth and a basin of water and washed away the blood and whispered to the stranger: "I don't think she's bad hurt. She's Just fainted away with the scare of it. When she opens her eyes I'll tell her to go to sleep, and ^ie'11 be all right in the morning." "Do you think It's some young lady from the village?" asked the stranger of the farmer as they talked in whispers in the outer room. "No, I don't reckon so. I reckon It's that new girl that arrived at Turner's a few days ago. I saw her , going towards the village two hours age." "Arrived at Turner's! Say, man, are you sure? Is it a strange girl to the neighborhood?" 'Tve heard say it wbb Uncle Bob's niece, and that she come from the city. What ails you, stranger? Does this storm upset you?" It wasn't the storm. Percy Klncaid had quarrelled with the girl he loved nnd had asked to be his wife. It wan about nothing, almost, as most lovers' quarrels are, but pride on either side held off a reconciliation until the lover finally learned that Miss Minnie had gone on a Journey and left no word for him. She was going to spend Thanksgiving week in the country- Within two days she had relented; within three he was making every effort to locate her. that he mignr paicn up a peace, ne nau ?uc- j leeded. He wan going to throw himself on her mercy and ask Uncle Robert for a place at his Thanksgiving :able. I The storm grew fiercer as the light advanced. The girl woke and hen slept a dreamless sleep, and the over had long hours in which to >onder and think. When another day lame even the cattle could not face he storm nor man move from his loor. It was Thanksgiving day. At Jncle Robert's there was a feast to >e apread: at Rradley's there was lardly better than poorhouse fare, lut the victim of the accident was no onger in bed, and the rescuer no onger cared about the weather, and he farmer-folks looked at each other ,nd smiled and whispered: "Even if we had turkey and cranierry sance I don't believe they'd eat , single mouthful. They've just sorer found each other, and are tickled o death." And when at last they could make heir way to Turner's and Uncle Rob buttered and Aunt Harriet cried for oy. Miss Minnie asked in a way that ras almost heartless: "Why do you take on so? I never lad such a lovely Thanksgiving in ill my life!" Doctoring Milk, Because he knew his patient tho loctor was not at all ruffled when he exclaimed: "But I can't take It doctor; it's no ; ise talking, I Just can't. I hate milk. can't drink it. I will take any kind f medicine you wish me to, but I ! annot swallow sweet milk." "Very well," he said, soothingly. Then | ie opened the door, and from the itchen there drifted in the smell of opping corn. "Who is popping corn?" she asked. I "Your nurse." said the doctor. Half an hour later he persuaded her o taste a Bpoonful of milk. "Why that's not so bad, after all," ! he said. "What did you do to it?" "Soaked the popped corn in it." aid he. "Gives it an entirely dlffernt taste, doesn't it? Sweet milk's itterest enemy is bound to say it is rinkable after it has soaked up the ssence of popped corn for ten or fteen minutes."

Tokio, Japan.?Rev Zulcho Tach/bana, a priest of the great West Hongwanjl temple of Kyoto, returned to that place recently after five years spent In explora- j Hon In the virgin parts of cential A6la, writes a correspondent. His lourney was undertaken for purposes ' it research under the Instruction of Tount Otani, the lord abbot of the Hongwanjl temple and an enthusiistic geographer. Mr. Tachlbana is i young man of twenty-two years of ige and of such delicate physique that :he natives 6aid he must be a woman lisgulsed as a man. Mr. Tachlbana proceeded from Lonjon to Omsk and thence by stage coach In Semipalatlnsk, thence to : Turban in Sinkiang ("the new territory") passable roads were found. During his explorations Mr. Tachl>ana traveled across the Takla-Makan Jesert, which he describes as the " V- ' ':' . >>'*%+' ' % r/' *p$&r ^: ^ ^ Sheltered at the Edge of the Desert. worst of all deserts In central Asia. Neither birds nor even Insects are :o be found there. The desert Is a sea of sand, Where > I there Is only the wind to hear and the moon to aee. The party constantly met sand mountains over 12,000 : feet high, and the men began to grumble, fearing that they would be buried by the constant sandstorms. [ | On arriving at Goma, on the right bank of the River Tarlm, he caused ] considerable fright among the shepherds, as his was the first party from the south for thirty years. At first the shepherds fled, but were brought back. The feat of crossing the desert caused greatest reverence by the shepherds. At this point he left the camel caravan to follow on slowly, while he pre- ! ceeded on horseback to Kuchar, which place he reached after threo ' Says. This is a large town, though not to be compared with civilized cities. "Nevertheless," said Mr. , rachibana, "I felt on entering it as 1 :hough I had suddenly been put down t in Piccadilly." Some time was spent in the neigh- v jorhood of Kasligar investigating the f buried cities, and afterward the ex- * ^lorer proceeded through the valley f to the east of Tzunling to Khotan, T the districts previously explored by r Dr. Stein (now Sir Marc Aurel Stein), I rhence the party proceeded to Tibet , ,'or the purpose of geological ingest!- I nation. i i Several districts were visited by Mr. Tachibana which had been omit- a ted by Dr. Sven Hedln. These regions f are absolutely blank on the maps, f tnd have never been visited before. ( as soon as tne records or me jour- a nev have been collated the Hongivanjl temple will Issue a report on Mr. Tachibana's exploration, which R'ill without doubt be eagerly anticipated in scientific circles in Europe ind America as well as in Asia.

Director of Evenlnt Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPT. 29. REVIEW, OOLDEX TEXT?'The words that I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life."?John 6:83. That Sabbath most dreaded by many superintendents and schools is the one known as "review Sunday." It Is Indeed a test of the ability and skill of the teachers as well as a test of the kind of work done during the past three months. Some condemr the Bible school and compare Its work with that of the day school, not taking into consideration the differences of paid and volunteer teachers, the time devoted to study, the discipline and countless other features that tend to make comparisons odious. Still when all due allowance Is made there Is Indeed too little or else an Improper use made of the review Sunday. One method of review is to call ont the lessons, twelve In number, and make some comment upon each one or else have some person report upon the subject matter, the golden text, etc. This method may be preceded by having some one tell of that period In the life of Christ from which these loannna urn Inkpn nnnthar t*ll of some events In contemporaneous history and the places Jesus visited during this time. After such statements It would be wise to have a brief statement made as to the subject matter of the lessons for the entire quarter, e. g., how many have to do with miracles, teachings, etc. Also a statement of the principal persons wtiom Jesus met. It so happens that during this quarter there Is no closely connected thread that runs throughout the lessons and one Is at a loss to know Just what governed the committee In their selection. It would be well therefore to require a written test from the pupils. A set of questions covering the work of the quarter could be prepared and given to the scholars a week In advance and from this set of questions a half dozen could be selected on the day of the review and the scholars be required to write their' answers during 'be class hour. What Ltmoni Toar.h. When it comes to selecting the main truths taught in each of the lessons of course there will be a wide variety of opinions. We may therefore be pardoned if our suggestions may not agree with those suggested by others. Beginning with lesson one it seems as though the Master is seeking to show us that all manner of sin can be forgiven except that sin which ascribes to the devil the work of the Son of God. This full and complete rejection of Christ and his work of redemption is what is known as the unpardonable sin. For that man there remains no other remedy for sin. This is different from merely being misunderstood either by friends or foes; this is the limit of the antagonism of the evil one. The second lesson has to do with the seed, the sower and the soil. It is a great Illustration of the method whereby Christ is to extend his kingdom and of the various Borts of soil, (hearts) in which the seed Is to germinate as well as a lesson about what shall be the expected results from the Beed thuB sown. The third lesson is another illustration of the propagating process. In it we are shown both the intensive and the extensive growth. By the reference to the leaven in this lesson we are taught, as also in other parables. that in this kingdom evil will also be present. There will be a constant danger of an inward decay. One has but to study church history or one's own Christian experience to know the truth of this principle. Lesson four, the lesson of the wheat and the tares, is a further teacher along the same line with the added significance of the harvest and the separation Incident thereto. ? A... * lvt?B8UII 1J VP IVaCMVB tXB OUII1CI U UJfc act regards the value of this new kingdom. Its value was sufficient to compel heaven to yield Its dearest treasure. Lesson six and seven have to do with the power of Jesus over wind and wave, over the man possessed of demons and over disease and death. Let us bring out the reason why Jesus thus manifested his power, vie., "that they might see the power of God resting In him," John 5-36. Faith Essential. Lesson eight has to do with tbt great fact that God has so set forces at work In his kingdom as to make the faith of man an essential requisite In Its advancement among men. It was not, however, an utter falluro In Nazareth for a few "sick folk were healed." We need to learn also the lesson of the danger of Jealousy of those of our own friends whom God may be signally blessing, and to beware lest we miss a great blessing that Is near at hand .ind one that others are quirk to perceive. There Is also here the lesson of Jesus' familiarity with the word. Lesson nine deais with the death of John the Baptist and the eulogy of Jesus as to John's character and work. The Implacable hatred of rebuked evil; the culmination of unbridled lust; the terror of a stricken conscience and the reward of the faithful are pomp of the truths suggested In this lesson. Notice that In this lesenn ?hIs no record of anv word of Jesus lesson ten, the sending forth of the disciples and the rules that are to govern their conduct Is logically followed by the great invitation presented In lesson eleven. By him, Jesus, we are to be judged and Judgment will depend upon the acceptance or rejection of him whose invitation Is to all who labor to come to him and find rest, knowledge, and satisfaction. Lesson twelve deals with the feeding of the five thousand. He Is the living bread who alone can satisfy the hunger of the countless multitudes of mankind. He Is the ever-sufflcient and the all-sufflcient Lord and Savior. Of course such a review will be rapid and perhaps Incomplete, but It will show that he has sayings for all circumstances and power over all conditions of life. It will show that his sayings have In them the spirit of life, that will communlcUe vltalltr. and that their efficiency and their effectiveness depends entirely upon tb* response which we make to them / / If you would acquire a reputation quickly sot yourself up^as a weather prophet A great majority of summer ills are i due to Malaria in suppressed form.
