The notice had been Riven soon af ter the new theater was opened In the Kneed block, and the endless Hood of moving lights nud shadows hegan to fall on Its screen. The low-horn, pur blind Intellects of Hohemlan New York begun to pour their lewd fnncles Into this great stream that (lowed through every rlty, town and village fn the land. They had no more com punction In the matter than a rattle Miako when It swallows n rabbit. To them, there were only two great, hare facta In life male and female. Tho males, In their vulgar parlance, were cither "wise guys" or "suckers I" The females were nil "my dears." Much of this mental sewage studied to heaven. Hut It paid. It was cheap find entertaining. It relieved tho te dium of smnll-town life. Judge Crookcr was In tho llttlo theater that evening that tho Old Spirit of Hlngvllle received notice to quit. The sons and daughters and even the young children of the best families In the village wcro there. Scenes from the shady sldo of the great cities, bar-room adventures with pugilists and porcelain-faced women, the thin-Ice skating of Illicit love suc ceeded ono another on the screen. Tho tender souls of the young received the Impression that life In the great world was mostly drunkenness, vio lence, lust, ntnl Great White Way wardness of one kind or another. Judge Crookcr shook his head and ills fWt as ho went out and expressed Ills view to Phyllis and her mother In the lobby. (Jnlng home, they called 111 in an old prude. The knowledge that every night this false Instruction was going on In tho Sliced block filled tho good man with sorrow and npprehen Dion. Ilo complained to Mr. Leak, tho manager, who said that he would like to give clean shows, but that he had to take what wns sent him. Soon n curious thing happened to the I'amlly of Mr. J. Patterson Blng. !,iai , Mr. Blna Tried a Cigarette and Got Along With It Very Well. It acquired n new god one that be gan, as the reader will have observed, with a small "g. Ilo was a boneless, India-rubber, obedient little god. Kor years the need of one like that had been growing In the Blng family. Since He had become a millionaire, Mr. Hlug Lad found It necessary to spend n good deal of tlmifr and considerable money In New York. Certain of his banter friends In the metropolis had Introduced him to the Joys of tho Great White Way and the card room of the Golden Ago club. Always he tod been III mid disgruntled for u week JK?H'fllll ffj rkfliMrfNJI IVSMW,. ill ' w llir laraii . Lvi " ym&. BY IRWIK MYEIUU nftcr Ills return to the homely mill tics of Hlngvllle. Tho shrewd Intuitions of Mrs. Blng nliirtned her. So Phyllis rititl John were packed off to private schools ho that the Rood woman would ho free to look after the Imperiled welfare of the hunh of her flock tho Brait J. Patterson. She was really worried ahotit hhn. After that, she til ways wont with him to tho city. She was pleased and delighted with tho luxury of the great hotels, the cos tunics, the dinner parties, tho thea ters, the suppers, the caharet shows. Tho latter shocked her n little nt first. They went out to a great country house, near the city, to spend a week end. There was a dinner party on Saturday night. One of the ladles got very tipsy and was taken upstairs. The others repaired to the music room to drink Ihclr coffee and smoke. Mrs. Blng tried a cigarette and got along wllh It very well. Then there was tin hour of heart to heart, central Euro pean dancing while tho older men sat down for a night of bridge In the li brary. Sunday morning, the young pontile rode to hounds across country while the bridge party continued Its session In tho library. It was not ex actly n restful week-end. J. Patterson nntl his wife went to bed as soon as their grips were unpacked on their re turn to tho city and spent tho day there with nchlng beads. While they were eating dinner that night, the cocktail remarker'CMh tho lips of Mrs. Ulng: "I'm getting tired of Blngvllle." "Oh, of course, It's a plcayuno place," said J. Patterson. "It's so provlnclall" tho lady ex claimed. Soon, tho oysters nnd tho entree having subdued the cocktail, she ven tured: "Hut It docs seem to me that New York Is an awfully wicked place." "What do you mean?" he asked. "Godless," she answered. "The drink ing nnd gambling and those dances." "That's because you've been brought up In a seven-by-nlne Puritan village," J. Patterson growled very decisively. "Why shouldn't people enjoy them selves? We huve trouble enough nt best. God gave us bodies to get what enjoyment we could out of them. It's about the only thing we'ro sure of, anyhow." It was a principle of Mrs. Ding to agree with .7. Patterson. And why not? He was a great man. She knew It ns well as he did and that was knowing It very well Indeed. Ills Judgment bad been right triumphantly and overwhelmingly right. Besides, It was the only comfortable thing to do. She bad been the type of womnn who reads those weird articles written by grass widows on "How to Keep the Love of a Husband." So It happened that the Kings be gan to construct a little god to suit their own tastes and habits one nbout as tractable as a toy dog. They withdrew from tho Congregntlonal church and had house parties for sun dry visitors from New York und Hn zelmoad every week-end. Phyllis returned from school In May with n spirit quite In harmony with that of her parents. She had spent the holldavs at the home of a friend hi New York and had learned to love the new dances and to smoke, although that was a matter to be mentioned only In a whisper and not In the pres ence of her parents. She was a tall, handsome girl with blue eyes, blonde hair, perfect teeth and complexion, and nlmost n perfect figure. Here she was, nt last, brought up to the point of a coming-out party. It had been n curious and rattier unfortunate bringing up that the girl bad suffered. She had been the pride of n mother's heart and the occupier of that position Is apt to achieve great success In supplying n mother's friends with topics of conversation, Phyllis had been flattered nnd Indulged. Mrs. Ulng was entitled to much credit, hnv Ins been born of poor nnd Illiterate parents In a small village on the Hud sou a little south of the capital. She was pretty and grew up with n longing for better things. J. Patterson Rot her at a bargain In an Albany depart ment store where sho stood all day behind the notion counter. "At a bar gain," It must be said, because, on tho whole, there wcro higher values In her personality than In his. Sho hnd acquired that common Uertha Clay habit of associating with noble lords who lived In cheap romances and had a tuste for poor but hone.rt girls. The practical J. Patterson hated that kind of thing. Hut his wife kept a supply of these highly flavored nov els hidden In the llttlo flat and spent her leisure reading them. One of tho earliest recollections of Phyllis wns the caution, "Don't tell father 1" received on the hiding of a book. Mrs. Ulng hnd bought. In those weak, pinching times of poverty, ex travagaut things for herself nnd the girl and gone In dcH for them. Col lectors had come at times to get their money with Impatient demands. The Dings were living In n city those days. Phyllis had been n wit ness of many Interviews of the kind. All along the way of life, she had heard tho oft-repeated Injunction, "Don't tell father 1" Sho came to re Kard men as creatures who were not to bo told. When Phyllis got IntQ a scrape at school, on account of n llt tlo lllrtntlon, and Mrs. Ulng went to sco about It, the two agreed on keep ing the salient facts from father. A dressmaker came after Phyllis arrived to get her ready for tho party. The afternoon of the event, J. Patter son brought the young people of the best families of Hnzolmend by special train to Hlngvllle. The Crookers, the Wltherllls, the Ameses, the- Itcnfrews nnd n number of the most populnr stu dents In the Normal school were also Invited. They had the famous string band from HnKclmenil to furnish mu sic, nnd Smith an Impressive young Kngllsh butler whom they had brought from New York on their last return. Phyllis wore a gown which Judge Crookcr described ns "the limit." He snld to his wife nfter they had gone home: "Why, there was nothing on her back but n pair of velvet gal lowses and when I stood In front of her my eyes were scared." "Mrs. Ulng calls It high art," snld the Judge's wife. "I call It down pretty close to see level," said the Judge. "When she clinched with those young fellers and went wrestling around the room she reminded mo of a grnpcvlno growing on n tree." The renctlon on the Intellect of the Judge quite satisfies the need of the historian. Again the Old Spirit of Hlngvllle hnd received notice. It Is only necessary to add thut the punch "Don't Tell Fatherl" wns strong nnd the house party over the week-end made a good deal of talk by fust driving around the country In motorcars on Sunduy nnd by loud singing In boats on the river nnd noisy piny on tho tennis courts. That kind of thing wns new to Hlngvllle. When It wns nil over, Phyllis told her mother that Gordon King one of the young men had Insulted her when they hnd been out In a bont to gether on Sunday. Mrs. Hlug wns f-hocked. They hnd a talk about It up In Phyllis' bedroom nt the end of which Mrs. Ulng delivered an Injunc tion, "Don't tell father I" It was soon nfter the party that Mr. J. Patterson Ulng sent for William Snodgrass, the carpenter. He wanted an extension built on his house con taining new bedrooms nnd baths and a large sun parlor. The estimate of. Snodgrass was unexpectedly large. In explanation of the fact the latter snld: "We work only eight hours a day now. The men demnnd it and they must be taken to and from their work. They can get all they wnnt to do on thdso terms." . "And they demnnd seven dollars nnd a hnlf a day at that? It's big pny for an ordlnnry mechanic," euld J. Patter son. "There's plenty of work to do," Snodgrass answered. "I don't care tho snap o' my finger whether I get your Job or not. I'm forty thousand abend o' tho game nnd I feel llko layln' off fo the summer nnd tnkln' n rest." "I suppose I could get you to work overtime nnd hurry the Job through If I'm willing to pny for It?" tho million aire Inquired. "The rate would he time an' n half for work done nftcr the eight hours are up, but It's hard to get anyone to work overtime those days." "Well, go ahead and get nil the work you can out of these plutocrats of the saw and hammer. I'll pny the bills," said J. Patterson. The terms created n record In Blng vlllo. Hut.-ns Mr. Ulng had agreed to them, In his hnste, they were estab lished. Pauline Baker Elopes. (TO UK CONTINUED. True Forgiveness. Love is generous. Doing once Is not enough.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -Public Health Problems. The teachings of this lesson have an Important bearing upon physical health, but thu primary reference Is moral. The sin with which Paul was dealing was fornication, not matters of hygiene. That physical health may be Included wo do not question, but sad and serious will bc-lhu blunder If that only Is taught. I. Glorifying God In Your Body (1 Cor. 0:10, 1!0. It should be noted that .the -Inst clause of verse 20 Is omitted In the Itu vised Version nnd the best manu scripts. The conclusion of Paul's argu ment Is, "therefore glorify God in youi body." 1. The Christian's body Is the temple of the Holy Ghost (v. 10). God'a dwelling place on earth Is flow the re deemed human body Instead of the temple nt Jerusalem. If tho sinless Spirit Is to dwell In the body It must be kept clean. To defile or abuse the body In any way Is to Insult the Spirit und commit the most awful sacrilege. This truth apprehended solves forever the problem of licentiousness, gluttony, use of tobacco, the abuse or neglect ot the body In any wuy- whatsoever. i!. The Christian's body Is God'a property (v. 10). Being God's temple, the proprietary right Is in God and not man. Being tho property of the Lord, the Christian's motto Is, "Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatso ever ye do, do all to the glory of God (I Cor. 10:31). "Holiness unto the Lord" ought to be written over our bodies. 3. The Chrlstlnn'a body has been bought (v. 20). The price paid to re deem the body was the precious blood of ChrlBt (I Peter 1 : 18, 10). We esti mate things by what they cost. When we estimate our bodies In that light we will be very Jealous ot their purity. Guarding our health Is part of our re ligion. II. Keeping the Body Under Con. trol (I Cor. 0: 24-27). Thu Christian's life Is more than mere existence, there Is something to do to be accomplished. 1. It Is a nice (vv. 24. 25). In order to win a prize there must be self-denial und definite exertion. The Chris tian obtains life by contact with Jesut Christ through faith (John 3:10; 3:30; 5:24). This lie possesses before he can begin the race. While he gets salva tion (life) at the beginning, God places before him definite rewards as incent ives to exertion. The Clirlstlnu be lieves to get life, but works for re wards. In the Olympian games only one could hope to get the prize, but In the Chiistlun race there Is u reward watting for every one who disciplines himself and rims. As the racer In these games mustered his desires and ah stained from everything which might hinder him to win the prize, so the Christian will make any sacrifice to win. The prize In the Grecian games was corruptible, but the prize of the Christian is Incorruptible. If the heathen would practice such self-denial regardless of Its pain for a gar land of pine leuves, shall not the Chris tian turn from bodily Indulgences of every Hnd so ns to obtain the crown of righteousness which fndcth not nway? 2. It Is a fight (vv. 20, 27). The Christian's efforts are not mere beat ings of the nlr. He has n real antag onist. Ills fight Is not a sham conlllct. He should exert himself with nil his energy, nnd strike to hit his enemy. In order to win success the body must be kept under. In this case the-antagonlst Is the body. It should be so dealt with ns to bring It under subjection. All the evil propensities of his nature should bo brought under control. III. Reaping What You Sow (Gnl. 0:7, 8). God hns established a Inw In the world thut whatsoever a man bowb that shall he also reap. To go on sowing wllh the expectation of not reaping la to mock God. The world Is full of ex tuuples of those who thus mocked Him. This text hns primary reference to giving to the support of ministers of the gospel ; Its reul bearing Is upon the believer for his stinginess rather than upon the sinner for his meanness, but It has a bearing on all tfct wo do. Very Sun of God. Tho shepherds und the Wise Men came away from Bethlehem very sure of God. They had uot been unbeliev ers or atheists, but the sight of the little Jesus brought to them a fresh and mighty consciousness of God's continual presence. Kven the antici pation of God's coming In Jceub put a new song on tho lips of Znchnrlah and Mnry. and one sight of the Child was enough to open nil the fountains of gratitude In the henrt of the aged Simeon.

Trading along the west Mexican coast carrying pnnochn, hides, bees wax und other freight Is the fntc of the once proud American gunboat Mar blehead. Tho vessel has been sold to Joso Dclnllave, n Mnzathin ship operator, by tho United States government for a few thousand Mexican dollars. Dcl nllave has renamed thu Murblchcud tho Agun Prlela. Thus passes tho old "pepperbox," Capt. Bowman II. VcCnlla's ship of Spanish war fame, with a proud record of achievement right up to the days of tho last Victory loan drive, when tho Marbtchend left Sail Francisco as thu navy's "victory ship," remarks Our Navy. Tho announcement of coast gunrd authorities that the U. S. ' G. cutter Bear probably never will sail Into tho North tigaln marks a sharp turn In the history of one of thu most famous adventure ships Hying thu American Aug. After more than two-score years of battling with Ice Hoes and urctlc gales, thu Hear Is under orders to make San Diego her base nnd serve ns a training ship for const guard recruits. Since the Benr, In charge of Com modore Schley, later admiral, rescued the seven survivors of the Greeley urc tlc expedition In 1884 jdie has been devoted to service In the northern sens with tho navy, the frontier rev enue service nnd In recent yenrs ns part of the coast guard licet. She was built In Scotland In 1874 as a whaler nnd sealer. - Tho full Btory of her career would constitute u library of stirring tales. Among her mnny duties bIic has kept wntch and ward over the Eskimos, car ried tho Inw to the shores where Kin ling snld no law extended, protected the fur-senl herd from poachers of tho "Sea Wolf" type, nnd given the sanc tion of the white man's standards to marriages beyond the arctic circle. Natives, teachers, missionaries, traders and marines in the North hnvo for a generation regarded Uie annual cruise of the Bear as a routine part of their existence. Not a season hns pnssed Including tho present one that the Bear has not saved lives by Imperative operations performed In her sick bny, by the res cue of mnrooned or shipwrecked crews or by Inndlng provisions to Uie Inhab itants of Isolated shores. Reforesting the Plains. tn tho state of Nebraska there are twenty thousand square miles of coun try that Is absolutely treeless. The soil Is nothing but sand on which no plant grows except a long grass that Is good for grazing. Anciently, perhaps seven million years ago, the area In question wns pnrt of the floor of a sen. Hence, of course, the snnd. But within compara tively recent times the region must have been forested, for here nnd there are discovered stumps of trees as much as .two feet In dlnmcter. Discovery of these old stumps led the United States forest service to be lieve that trees might be mndo to grow thero ngnln. Accordingly, the experiment wns begun nbout eighteen yenrs ago, nnd, ns a result, about five thousand acres of young forest hnvo been successfully established. Some of the trees today nre ns much as twenty-five feet high. The trees planted In this nrea ore all of them of coniferous varieties Jack pine, Norway pine nnd yellow pine. At Halsey, Neb., Is mnlntnliicd n nursery, which produces two million of these little trees ench year. For planting them, a novel method Is adopted. Instead of setting each llttlo tree In a hole by Itself, a plow Is run along through the sand, and the hnby trees nre planted In a row In the furrow. Record of Sunshine. J. B. Klncer of the weather bureau has Just published In the Monthly Wenther Review n valuable analysis of the available sunshine records of this country. He presents chnrts nnd graphs showing for all parts of the United States the mean solar time of sunrise nnd sunset, tho nverngo length of the day, sunrise to sunset, for differ ent sensons of tho yenr; tho average ft r each month In the yenr, of the dally mnounts of sunshine, In hours; the sea sonal nnd annual amounts In percent age of tho maximum possible; the yearly percentage of clear, partly cloudy nnd cloudy dnys. Data of this character Is comparatively scarce, for the reason that tho Instruments re quired to make these records nre very delicate nnd require expert nttentlon. A grent deal of meteorological observa tion work Is done by nmnteurs or vol unteers who nre not equipped with the iierceniv nppnratus for accurately re cording the periods of sunshine.
