Revelation
ly JANK M LKAX.
Out of the mountain fastnesses there canie
A youth; we knew not what might be hi name,
But in his hand be bore a hollow reed,
And when we stared he gave no seeming heed
To aught about him. Down we followed him
In his strange garb, his figure straight and slim,
To where the dank. lush river grasses grow.
Where bronze-tipped cat-tails water to and fro.
And then he played; songs -with the uhlrertng thrill
Of pain, high echoed in the reed's clear trill.
Love and a longing born of endless dreams.
Of stranger moods still unfulfilled, of gleams
Of light and shadow, dreamily portrayed.
And one of us asked the song he played.
He smiled that strange smile through the refrain
And said, "Some call it love, and others pain."
Irut we who heard the notes of pride, of strife.
Of longing, know it for the Song of Life.

PISTHACTK1V
The writer of this article does most Im-
i.llcttly and most emphatically believe In
All'hope Is prayer: who cu" U ope'
ro more, sends prayer footsore forth over
weary wastes; while he who calls it
prayer gives wing to hope.
Someone has said:
Prayer is the simplest form of speecn
that Infant lips cay try.
Irayer the simplest strains that reach
the Matesty on hiith.
Tiayer Is more than all this: It Is a
higher and subtler form of Power than
electricity. All thought Is a kind of
electric force; and just as electricity pos
sesses lighting, warming and healing
power and again a destructive power, so
all thought Is etlther constructive or de
structive. Prayer Is Intensified thought,
and when sent out from an earnest mind
it reaches the Invisible wireless wave
lines which fill rpace, and Its message is
somewhere received and recorded. The
mumbling cl a written prayer which we
utter according to the rules of some,
dogma, and In which wo put no heart,
fervor or fcellns. should not be called
prayer. It is of no moro account than
tho utterances of a parrot.
We are surrounded by Invisible helpers,
guardians and guides who are appointed
the Uruat Creator to look e"er ui
rloiis orders of beings who Inhabit His
sphere. When wo ignore these great
iruthfc we cut off the communication with
ihe Invisible helpers to a lurse extent.
When we piay we bring them near again.
There is an Interesting story told by
John Wesley, the celebrated divine. He
was riding through a dark wood, carry
ing with him a large sum of money
which had been entrusted to his keeping.
A sudden sense of fear possessed him
and he dismounted from his horse and
offered up a fervent prayer for protec
tor this woman to utter each morning:
Great and glorious and all-powerful
Creator of this universe, I know that I
nm dear to you because you made me.
"You have power, plenty, opulence and
peace.
"You want me to share your wealth.
"I know that 1 am the center of Divine
activity and that you will bestow upon
me my inheritance.
"Lead me and guide me and show me
how to help myself, and to you be glory
and power for ever and ever."
He who knocks shall find doors open
ing. He who asks shall eventually
receive.
He not Impatient In delay.
But wait as one who understands.
When Spirit rises and commands,
The gods are ready to obey.
The Fun of
Struggling;
By ANN LISLK.
"Belter to fight and fail than never
strive.
Better to suffer than know no cares;
It is enough that 1 am now allvo
Death la not bitter to the man who
dares."
by
tion.
i-..r afterward he waa called to
iiuii. -
- Hvlne man; this man narrated to
him the Incident above mentioned and
said he had been lying In the woods
waiting to rob him of the money he
. arried. He told Wesley how he noticed
him descend from the horse and how on
his resuming his Journey the appearance
f an armed attendant riding berie him
had filled the robber with awe and
caused him to abandon his project.
Without doubt the Intensity of Mr.
Wesley's prayer had materialized h
form of his Invisible Helper, who came
to protect him. Prayer should always be
accompanied by work. Each morning
rising there should be an earner
for Utfht and guidance ana
Htrength to perform the duties ana
tasks wnlch lie nearest us. Then we
should go forth and faithfully perform
those tasks and duties.
The writer of the pathetic letter given
above should keep on praying and she
believe that In nerselt Ilea ine
to achieve success and to over-
..ii .i, nhntac es wnicn seem iv
fill her path. She has evidently allowed
her mind to become clogged with morbid
and despondent Ideas. They dominate
her menu I klagdora to such aa eitent
that her prayers are crippled.
Every thought of srlf-OVstrnction puts
her J uist so much farther away from the
Invisible Helpers, and makes the attain
ment ef her desires Just so much mure
.'ffk'ult- Were she to attempt to de
.oy ner ttf t would ftad rt impossible.
'Hie iHjdy can be destroyed, but. life goes
ver much t lie same as here, only on
another plane Here Is a little prayer
Life at its best la always a struggle.
Life is a. problem given to you and me
for our individual solution. No one can
work It out for us. though many may
help, but our own living of our lives
constitutes our solution of our problem.
Why not make your answer a sum total
of achievements?
To have the great and worth while
things of life, we must fight to win; and
having won, we must still fight to hold!
A victory over unfavorable circumstances
and conditions la splendid. But the mere
willingness and moral stamina to "put
up a fight" Is a big; and worth while
thing.
There la a certain victory in the mere
throwing off of sloth and laxiness and
girding yourself for the fray. The stages
of success are three first the energy
to strive; second, the firmness to go on
striving in the face of seeming failure,
and third, the courage and wisdom to
turn the fight to victory.
Don't be unhappy If you are born to
hampering conditions. That gives you a
chance to gain strength and to win at
last glorious victory over environment
and your own self.
If we want the great tbinga of life we
rmmt Indeed flirht to ' win. and
never cease fighting to retain. But tblaj
Is not hardship. Katcer it is mat wnicn
elves dignity to Uf. .What a fine tingle
of hope for conquest a soldier fighting
for a forlorn hope feels aa he turn the
tide. Be such a soldier. It will win for
you a magnificent feeling of glow aa you
become conscious that you are gaining
dominion over difficulty.
The blood of your purpose will become
red with the live corpuscle's of your own
making. Yoar character will stand firm
and strong as you harden Ita backbone!
Fight! It u a glorious thing. But fight
for the righteous causa of growth and
strength and understanding.

Household Hints
To purify the air of a room soak a few
pieces of brr.wn paper in a solution of
saltpeter and allow them to dry. When
desired for use, lay a handful of f lowers
of lavender on a tin pan with a few
pieces of the paper and light. The aroma
Is refreshing and agreeable and drives
away insects. If hot water is procurable
a few drops of oil of lavender put in a
glass of very hot water Is good. It purt
fiea the air at once and effectually rids
the room of files and Insects of all kinds.
Synopsis of reviews Chapters.
After the tragic death of John Ames
bury, hla prostrated wife, one of Amer
ica's greatest leautl)a, die. At her death
1'rof. Htulitur, an agent of tile interests
kidnaps the beautiful 3-year-old baby
girl and brings her up In a paradise
where she sees no man. but thinks she
Is taught by angels who instruct her for
her mission to reform the world. At the
age of W she Is suddenly thrust into the
world where agents of the Interests are
ready to pretend to find her.
The one to feel the loss of the little
Ameabury girl most, atter sba had been
spirited away by tbe Interests. was
Tommy Barclay.
Fifteen years later Tommy goes to the
Adiroudacks. The Interests are responsi
ble for the trip. By accident he is the first
to meet the little Aniebbury girl, as she
conius form rroin her paradise as Celestia
the girl from heaven. Neither Tummy iitr
Celestia recognises each other. Tommy
finds It an easy matter to rescue Celestia
from Prof. Btllllter and they hide la
the mountalus; later they are pursued
by SUUIter and escape to an Island whore
they spend the night. ...
That night. BUUIier. following his In
dian guide, reaches the Island, found
Celestia and Tommy, hut did not disturb
them In the morning Tommy goes tor a
swim. During his absence SUlllter at
tempts to steal Celestia. who runs to
Tommy for help, followed by milliter.
The latter at once realises Tommy's pre
dicament He takes advantage of It by
taking not only Celestia's. but Tommy's
clothes. Stilllter reaches Kour Corners
with Celestia lust in time to- catch an
express for New lorn, mere ne places
Celestia In Bellevua hospital, where her
sanity Is proven by the authorities.
Tommy reaches Bellevue Just before Bill
liter's departure.
Tommy s first aim was to get Celestia
away from Similiter. After they leave
Bellevue Tommy Is unable to get any
hotel to take Celestia in owing to her
costume. Hut later he persuades his
lather to keep her. When he goes out
to the taxi lie finds her gone. She falls
Into the hands of white slavers, but
scapes and goes to live with a poor fam
ily by the name of Douglas. When their
son Freddie returns home he finds right
In bis own house. Celestia. the girl for
which the underworld has offered a re
ward that he hoped to get.
Celestia secures work In a larro gar
ment factory, where a great many girls
are employed. Here she shows her pe
culiar power, and makos friends with all
her girl companions. By her talks to the
girls she is able to calm a threatened
strike, and the "boss" overhearing her la
moved to grant the relief the girls wished,
and also to right a great wrong he had
done one of them. Just at this point the
factory catches on fire, and the work
room is soon a blazing furnace. Celestia
refuses to escape with tha other girls,
and Tommy Barclay rushes In and car
ries her out, wrapped In a big roll of
cloth.
After rescuing Celestia from the fire,
Tommy Is sought by Banner Barclay,
who undertakes to persuade him to give
up the girl. Tommy refuses, and Celestia
wants him to wed her Jirajilv. He ran
not do this, as he has no funrta. Milliter
and Barclay Introduce Celestia to a co
terie of wealthy mining men, who agree
to send Celestia. to the eolllvrlei.
of Immense financial servico to man In
particular.
Among the poor, when she said that
she came from heaven, among the un
fortunate and the down-trodden, Celestia
was taken literally by so many that it
NtagKers belief. We have only to remem
ber that less gifted prophets havo suc
ceeded In Imposing their divinity on mul
titudes. About Celestia there was noth
ing that rang false. Phe was goodness
and sincerity personified.
Among the more sophisticated, the
statement of her origin was taken as a
figure of tpeech; not by all, of course,
I ut by a vast majority. "Anything or
anyone that is really good for us may be
said to havfi been sent by heaven," these
explained. "She doesn't, of course, mean
to imply that she stepped Into a fiery
eight-cylinder limousine that waa waiting
for her at heaven's gate, and came down
through space in deflnancs of all speed
laws. But, anyway it doesn't matter.
She's Inspired. That's the main thing.
Did anyone ever see such eyes, or hear
such a voice? It will be interesting to
see what she will do when she has to go
against the politicians, etc.
To pave the way for their ultimate coup
d'etat It was part of the triumverate'a
plan to allay some of that bitterness
which so many of the poor entertain for
so many of the rich. So Prof. Stilllter,
making use of those means which we
have so often explained, put It into Celes
tia's head to go ahout a good deal among
fashionable people.
To the simple-minded, newspaper-read
Douglas family It was all but incon
ceivable that there should be any such
qualities as kindness, simplicity and
virtue (except, perhaps, among the
servants) In a Fifth avenue mansion. And claimed the Ferret's sister.
they were among Celestia's first con
verts to a contrary opinion.
"And where are you going tonight, my
dear?" asked Mrs. Douglas. "And where
did you get such a wonderful cloak?
And you've done your hair differ
ently" Mrs. Douglas and her huMband, sitting
aide by side (they had been holding
hands) gaxed at Celestia in astonishment.
Nellie, who had entered the room just
behind Celestia. was flushed with ex
citement and mystery.
"My dears," said Celestia, "It's a very
long story. But first of all you must
know that I am going to a ball. And
Freddie la going with me."
"Just wait till you see Freddie," ex-
nut old Mr. Douglas looked troubled
and anxious.
"There's no harm In Freddie," he said
presently. "But It's pretty certain that
he will bring away something that doesn't
belong to him."
"Oh!" exclaimed Celestia. "How un
just Has Freddie taken anything that
wasn't his since I've lived in this
house V
"That he hasn't!" said Mm Douglas.
"And It's all your doing."
"Freddie Is a rood boy," said Celestia;
"and he la going to be a good man."
"He's got so," said the honest Nellie,
that he don't light a cigarette till ha gets
round the corner."

Advice to Lovelorn
By Beatrice
Fairfax
He Is Eatresnely Foolish.
If your intentions are not serious. It is
better to drop the acquaintance before
her heart Is Involved
Take a longer time each time to answer
her letters and gradually the correspond
ence will cease.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am It and deeply
in love with a young man five years my
senior. I met him one day when not quite
18 and he told me to wear longer dresses
and put mv hair up. This young man Is
on tho road as a traveling salesman and
I have not mn him since then.
Do you think he meant anything by
that? CONSTANT READER.
I think he waa both foolish and imper
tinent, as the length of a girl's dresses
is a matter to be decided by her mother.
Don't put your heart on him.
Depends on His Parse.
Dear Miss Fairfax: How often should a
young man give a young lady candy?
Hhould he send it by a messenger boy or
take It himself? Should he out his card
lit the box? RATMOND.
If he can afford It, a box of candy Is a
pleasing gift to take whenever he calls;
taking It for granted that he doesn't call
oftener than once a week.
Neither his rard nor a messenger boy,
under tha olrcumstancea, la necessary.
A Fourth Sex
By ADA rATTERON.
A Frenchman visiting this country ns
discovered a third sex. He says It Is the
woman who wit I not marry. That she In
not a man Is apparent. That she is a
woman h regards
ne dubious, for If
she he s woman
would it not h the
strong desire of her
and fixed aim of her
men persist In think-.
Inn themselves life's
Th'ef prises for a
woman's life to
marry.. Sothe
Frenchman reason
and dediicea from
his reasoning that In
America we have
three sexes, man,
woman and the
creature In female
form who declines
to marry. If quite
overlooks the male
bachelor, the man who declines to marry
But men were ever merciful to their own
sex.
I. too, have gone exploring in the rich
flelis of humanity. I. too, have made a
discovery. There Is a fourth sea. It l
the female bully.
Do you know one'' Think hard. t
know two of them, perhaps more, but li
hope not. for two are more than It Is
desirable to knew.
The female bully Is what her name Im
plies, a braggart and a bull docer. Na-.
ture has bestowed upon her a loud voice
hloh she employes chiefly In argulngi
It has given her shoulders broad, as a
man's that she uses for pushing heh way
to what she calls "the front." She has
an erratic mind and accounts for her
differing attitudes on same subject by
saying she "acts upon inspiration." She
Is fierce on temper and fickle of purpose,
but In all moods and tenses she Is. con-
hlstent in one respect. She Is a noise.
The female bully is a human drum.
She is a torn torn, that, while an Instru
ment of torture, la still guaranteed to
draw a crowd. She Is like a lithograph,
big. gaudy, cheap, but Inescapable.
The female bully either never marries
or does not stay married. Both the
noise makers whom I know are twlcs
divorced, in each case tha brace ef hus
bands have the sympathy of all who
know them and the circumstances. Their
wives' bullying strained the bonds . of
matrimony until they broke.
. The only excuse that can be offered
for the female bully la that she has
never grown up. Children are small sav
ages claiming everything In sight aa
their own and offering armed resistance
if anyone denies that right.
. The bully of tha feminine order la like
a college freshman, with views about
everything, and moat of them wrong.
She may be gray and wrinkled and may
limp because rheumatism hobbles ' her
knees, but she never loaea the harsh In
tolerance of youth.
Cure her? No, unless we catch her
very young. All we can do la to protev
ourselves from her by refusing to know
her. If she . happens to be within our
own family circle woe is our portion.
Lot us not be bullies ourselves. If,
we desire that we cannot discuss the
world war, equal suffrage nor religion,
without raised voice and flushed face,
let us go Into our closets and sit for
awhile In sack-cloth and ashes and come
liufc inriii wiiut vi vnwHiHini imtv. nun
If a child In our care displays the tokens
of the bully let us convince her that the
little girl across the street Is. quite as
pretty as aha Is. and quite aa clever,
more so. In fact, for she has learned one
of life's first and last , and greatest les
sons, restraint. And impress upon her
that great force la often quiet and that
quiet In Itself a force, gathers force.
Anything placed In cold water will cool
much more quickly if salt be added to
the water. Salt when dlssoulved in am
monia or methylated spirits will take out
grease spots. Added to whitewash, salt
makes tbe wash stick.
To Cleanse White Paint Boll two or
three onions In the usual way very thor
oughly, then uae the water to clean the
paint without soap. AU the dirt will
disappear, leaving the paint white and
glossy.
To Clean the Street Doormats-Placa
in a bath of soapy water, scrub weQ
with a hard scrubbing brush, then rine
well in cold water, and stand ou its side

"But It won't be easy," she smiled. "It's

Putting the "Eat" in Whole Wheat
The whole wheat grain is without doubt the most perfect
food given to man. But you don't want to eat raw wheat
it would be imperfectly digested if you did eat it
Whole wheat bread made of so-called "whole wheat
flour" is not much better. All the nutritive elements in the
whole wheat grain are supplied in a digestible form in
lh redded Wlhieat
It is the whole wheat steam-cooked, shredded and baked. It supplies
all the body-building elements of the whole wheat in a digestible
form. It is the shredding process that put the "Eat" in Shredded
Wheat. Try one or more of these crisp, delicious little loaves of
baked wheat for breakfast with milk or cream.
