'HOBO KING" UNMASKED
Here are portraits of Mrs. .John J.
Hoche and her husband, the "Hobo
King" of Seattle, Wash., who Is dis
closed as a hero of the World war,
.having served with the Canadian
?orccs. Some weeks ago a shabby,
nysterlous but well-mannered man
registered at a hotel In .Seattle as
"Hobo King." Ills real Identity was
hidden for several days until It be
came known that he had married Mrs.
Alice Marie Jordan, widow of the com
mander of the l S. 8. Dauntless, who
was killed In a light with a German
raider off the coast of Mexico In 11)18.
Following their marriage, It became
known that the "hobo" was In reality
(.'apt. John J. ltoche, Canadian war
hero, author nnd world traveler, who
had made a wager of $,'18,000 that he
could travel around the North Ameri
can continent without having his real
Identity known. Itocho would have
completed his trip on Jnnuary 1, WJa,
and so lost out by only n few months.

Preparation for the Coming of Christ.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
The Place nnd Work of John tho Bap
tist. We are today entering upon a six
months' course of study In the Gospel
of Luke, whose general hubject Is
"Jesus thu Woild's Savior." Toduy'a
lesson concerns the birth of John the
Baptist, the forerunner of Christ.
I. The Parents of John the Baptist
(vv. 5-7).
I. When They Lived (v. fi). "In the
dnH of Herod the King." They lived
In u day when ungodliness was rife.
The pilcsthood was very corrupt nrui
the ruling classes were wicked. Zach
arias and his wife, lived In u time
when it wns not ; easy to be godly.
1!. Their Character (v. 0). They
were righteous before God. To bo
righteous before God Is a high tribute.
Many appear to be righteous before
men who sue not righteous before (Sod.
Their llvesvere m muted that they
.walked In the commandments of the
Lord blameless. How beautiful It is
when husband and wife nre united In
the Lord nnd walk together In fellow
ship with God.
:t. They Were Childless (v. 7).
Though this godly couple were well
mated and they possessed the Joy of
the Lord In their souls, there was it
real lack In that home.
II. The Birth of John Promised (vv.
S-17).
1. By Whom (v. 11 ; ef. v. 10). Tho
angel Gabriel appeared and made
known the good news to Zathaiias.
This exalted being, the special mes
senger of God, was sent to make this
disclosure.
2. When (vv. S-M). While officiat
ing as priest this good news came to
him. .mhaiias must have been defi
nitely prating about this very matter
(v. i:i). As he hurtled incense, which
t.vplllcd pru.cr, the multitude without
were praying.
i. Characteristics of the Child (w.
l.r-17). (1) Shall be great in the sight
of the Loid (v. lfi). Though tho
people did not greatly esteem him he
was highly esteemed by the Lord. Tills
Is Inllnitely better than If he had been
greatly esteemed In the eyes of men
or in ids own eyes. Tills Is the esteem
for which we nil should long and pray.
1'2) Shall drink neither wine nor
strong drink (v. 15). The child shall
become n Nazarlte, separating him
self from the sensuous things nnd ded
icating himself to the service of the
Lord. (.') Be filled with tho Holy
Ghost (v. 15). Tho energy of tho dl
Ine Spirit would enable him to lend
the people to repentance (v. 10).
(4) Shall go In the spirit and power
of Klljah (v. 17). In this power ho
was to prepare tho people for tho
coining of the Snvlor and the salva
tion which He was to bring.
III. Zacharlac Asking for a Sign
(vv. 1S-23).
Although the aged priest was ear
nestly praying for the salvation of
Isniel the gracious promise of tho
angel, which was the beginning of that
snlvatlon. staggered his faith. He was
unable to believe that that for which
he fondly hoped and prayed would bo
realized. The angel guve Zachnrlas n
sign. He was smitten with dumbness
which wns to continue until the ful
fillment of the promise. Becnuse he
refused to praise God In faith for this
gracious promise God caused his
tongue to be silent until the promise
was fulfilled nnd his lips could open
In thanksgiving and praise. Though
he wns thus rebuked, at the same timet -his
faith was strengthened by tho
manifestation of the supernatural.
God wants us to trust Mm, to bellevo
his promises, no matter how contrary;
to reason they may seem.
IV. The Promise Fulfilled (vv. 57
W). When tho time came for the birth
of John, Elizabeth brought forth n son
nnd the neighbors rejoiced with her.
On the eighth day they clrcumclzed
the child and gave him a name accord
ing to the Instruction of tho nngel
(v. 111). The name John was contrary
to the family custom. By means of
writing Znchaiias mnde known tho
nnmo which he would hnve by dlvlno
instruction, At this time God opened
the mouth of Zacharlas and he offered
up praise,
Youth and Age.
In my youth I thought of writing a
satire on mankind; hut now in my,
ago I think I should write an apology,
for them. Wnlpole.
Lenity and Mercy.
When lenity and mercy piny for a
kingdom, tho gentler gamester Is tha
Booneht winneri Shnkespenre.
Heaven Often Smites.
Hcnven often smites in mercy, oven
when the blow Is BCVcresLJoauna
