Said clerk would prong about a dollar's worth of cheese and wlenerwurst, ! rrzr frT ^J*--r salnd, brown bread and all the other stuff that "lj{\J7 goes to make up the food attractions at tavern bars. would do this twice a day, once at , -1 wIZ noon and again at night, and therefore, having spent two nickels for the very good beer offered ^ f,ropr'etc)r' be could very well flguro that mS' uc huu uvni HuuipiuuuBiy mai any lor inmost i V / He did this for several months. Finally tho lj\ I ( long-suffering proprietor recognized the fact that the government clerk was about the only man In the place who was getting something for nothing nnd keeping it up for an Indefinite period. So he bethought himself of a scheme to put n Btop to this practice and shame the man. He sent word out to his own best friends that If they would gather there at noon on a certain day they could see hlin put this unsatisfied eater of lunches In tho class with a whipped child. At the appointed hour the friends were there, and so was the clerk, pronging away with both hands, stuffing his Bystem with highly spiced and As ho left the lunch counter and headed for tho door the long-suffering strategist of a proprietor tapped him on the shoulder: "My friend," he Bald, while tho crowd waited to see him display his coup de grace, as we would say in FVance, "I have noticed that you take tho record as long-distance free lunch borrower? Therefore 1 would suggest that you wait. You have overlooked something today. If you will stay here a moment the chef will present you with a fine strawberry shortcake." The proprietor had tho sarcasm heavily veiled, but it did not fool that shrewd free lunch operator. Ho looked Mr. Proprietor squarely in the eye, a cold, glittering penetrating look which meant that the weapons had clashed and that the fight was on. Ills face betrayed not one quiver of excitement or of embarrassment as he spoke in a loud tone: "Give It to that gang of loafers behind you. I never eat dessert."

Once a political party was trying to decide which of the two cities should have the honor of entertaining its delegates to a state convention. Charleston und Huntington sent representatives to plead their causes. The Huntington man spoke first. Ho told of tho great wealth his city IK)Bsessed, of its charming people, its fine railroad and hotel accommodations, and, fitially, wound up his flight of oratory thus; "Gentlemen, no city in tho United States is laid out as well as Huntington!" Then up rose Capt. S. 11. Avis, now representative from the Third district of West Virginia, to speak for Charleston. "When Charleston is as dead as Huntington," he said, it too, will be well laid out." And with those few words he eat down. Representative Kinkead Set the Ball Rolling REPRESENTATIVE EUGENE KINKEAD of New Jersey bids fair to be the leading practical Joker of the Sixty-third congress. When not engaged In trying to find some new method of throttling the beef trust, which is Ills . special nightmare, Kinkead Is thinking up some I 9 ' ' / C new method of getting a "rise" out of his colt9l - leagues. 9 Ho nearly caused a serious split between Representatlvo Carter Glass, author of the currency w~' Q\ bill, an(* Representative llartlett of Georgia. ^ MMk Glass was sensitive about his currency bill, and Hartlett is a self-appointed defender of the conIm' One day Geno Kinkead whispered to ~lgMwmf\ "What's this that Judge llartlett Is saying about "Haven't heard," replied tips succinct chairman WmMfUl of the banking and currency committee. "Why, he's telling tho fellows that you don't know anything about currency." Then ho left Mr. Glass and whispered to Judge Hartlett: "Say, Charlie, are you on the outs with Carter.Glass?" "No, Indeed," said Hartlett In surprise. "Why?" "Well, I Just wondered. He's going around saying that you know absolutely nothing about constitutional law." It took three days to straighten out the matter and, meanwhile, Kinkead had denied flatly s&ylng anything to either congressman. However, It was the unfailing twinkle in the Kinkead eye which finally brought the war to a close.

Moody Bible Inaitute, Cbictio X TEXT?No man can servo two masters ?Matt. 6 "24. l E x perience *gir.r" . --vy. proves that ever>' ! in an has some I - ^ master. While the text intimates that S a may attempt to servo two masters, ho V**I cau serve only one. Our thought must not be con.'mmMmmff fined to choice bodily tureen two masters only when there may be severa). The point being that a man serves only one. Mammon may mean self, the world, ! the flesh or tho devil. We will conllno our thought to three possiblo masi ters. Self as Master. Man, as a rule, thinks he Is his own ! master. He says: "I am the captain of my soul." He recalls without hesitation the words of the poet: "Man. know thyself. Presume not God to scan." and he interprets these words to mean that a knowledge of God Is not his llrst duty. In many cases he utterly ignores God and sees in himself possibilities of a perfect man, and strives ; to develop them by himself. A party of travelers in the Alps were starting out one morning to scale ono of the ! highest peaks, and Invited a young man to go with them, nnd on his doi clination, asked him if he did not in| tend to make the ascent. He replied: I "Yes, 1 will make it, but 1 will make it by myself. 1 have a guide book, and have my own head." The party made the ascent and returned in safety. Tho I next day the papers reported the findj ing of a dead body of a young man at the foot of a precipice with a guide book tightly clutched In his hand. Thus many imagine that they can go j on without God. Satan as Matter. The teaching of the word of God is very clear that there is an intelligent, ] powerful, malicious personality in tho universe opposed to God. and he is called Satan, or the devil. Ho is the god of this age, and he is given great j power, and seems to be lifted nbovo , mankind, to a position from which , he exercises this ereat nower His j>ower is seen in individual lives, and In masses of men. The diabolism that is found in certain companies of human beings is almost beyond belief. The plot against the .lews of Russia charged with the ritual murder of tho boy Yushlnsky, which, according to George Ken nan involved the Russian government itself, can only be accounted for on the proposition that some satanic mind planned it ull. Demon possession was clearly taught in tho scriptures, and in modern times has been clearly proven in China and other parts of the world by most conservative and discriminating students. Of somo men It can be truly said, they are devils Incarnate. The de^ll Iocs not always operate in tho most debased and fiendish manner, or men would resist him and fly from him. Many whose lives are fairly admirable are yet in the mastery of the evil one, but do not know it. Did not Jesus say that certain men were the children of the devil? In the individual, the mastery of the devil is seen in his inability to control his appetite, his temj>er, and his actions. God as Master. Rut may not God be master? Jesus i Christ, who was God, claimed to bo master, saying: "One is your master, even christ." While there are few, comparatively, who acknowledge God as master, there are those who may claim to parallel the 7,000 in Israel who did not bow tho knee of Raal. The disciple Thomas freely called Jcsub Master, and the Holy spirit coupled the idea, of the saving power of Jesus Christ with his mastership in tne line of the term lx>rd Jesus. The mastership of God Involves several things. First, definite, positive and purposeful surrender to God. When Saul of Tarsus by the gate of I>amasrus asked: "What shall I do. Lord?" he made a definite surrender. He acknowledged himself from that moment as the servant and very slave of God Secondly, man will at once let God guide htm. As Go<1'b guidance Is most clearly given In his ward, that word will be man's study all the days. Thirdly, his life will be one of complete obedience. There will be no further question as to whether the thing God commands Is feasible or not. It 1h onlj us whether it is a clear command. "His nol to reason why, his but to do or die." ThiH perfect surrender is not imbecility; ft is a sane, sensible recognition that the leadership of God is better than hlB own. An illustration of this is seen in the career of such a man as iJwight L. Moody. Yielding the mastery to Ood, secures supreme happiness. One of the master tricks of the devil Is to make man believe that to serve himself Is to secure happiness. The only fear of Den Crawford, who for 22 years was In the long grass of Africa, was that he might possibly lose his supreme Joy In God?but he never lost It. ^1 SIMPLE AND EASIER TO DO Tramp's Methods Not Altogether Unlike That Followed by Too w Many Others. - ' iiuuurn came up tor discussion In a Washington club the other night, ami Senator Nathan. P. Bryan of Florida told this anecdote along the Weary Willie line: Some time ago a hobo meekly tapped on the back door of a suburban homo and asked for something to eat. The good housewife responded that Bhe would feed him on the back Btep ; along with Fido. providing he was willing to earn the meal by cleaning ! out the gutter. The tramp agreed, and when he had I eaten his way through several sandj wiches to a feeling of happiness, the housewife came out with a reliable looking hoe. I "You needn't have gone to that trouj hie, madam," said the hobo, sizing up I the farm implement. "I never use a hoe In cleaning out a gutter." "Never use a hoe!" said the woman with a wondering expression. "What do you use. then, a shovel?" "No. madam," replied the hobo, starting for the back gate, "my method is to pray for rain."
