MINN'S THANKSGIVING
She Had Something Important
on Her Mind.
By DONALD ALLEN.
"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

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 hain't

"Don't you ask her a word about

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

"And she's got scared about it and ?

"Go on! It's probably a letter to ?

"Can't see hide nor hair of any *

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

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

ic top of his head on his hump. 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!"

"Very well," he said, soothingly. Then |

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."

Lesson
(By E O. SELLERS. 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

found that the human body contains
sulphur."
"Sulphur!" exclaimed a girl in a

sulphur is there, then, in a girl's

"Oh," said Dr. Allen, smiling, "the
amount varies."
"And is that," asked the girl, "why

SKIN TROUBLE ON LEG

"I had a running sore on ray leg for

"take this and mail it for me when
