"Nurse" McKlnley. That Is the nick

McKlnley, a member of tha house from
the Second district of California.
"I'm In trouble out home," remarks a
members of the house as he drops Into
the republican congressional headquarters
downtown, "and 1 need some one to put
me in right with my people some one who
paints this session of congress tn the most
glowing style."
'Have you seen the nurse?" ask the cam
paign officials.
"What do I want with a nurse?" asks
the member, fretfully, mopping his brow.
I'll admit that the situation Is desperate
along his political associates.
"What peaceful days the be!"
It was Speaker Cannon Wao madi the
observation, and he gave every outward ap
pearance of being sincere In his remark
He was seated Jn his office In the capltol.
A suspender strap had fallen down over

enough to require the services of a trained
political nurse, but, seriously, I want the
best stump speaker at your disposal."
"Since you hava been regular and look
with the proper amount of scorn on -the
Insurgent doctrine, we will give you the
stump speaker and political nurse all rolled
In one. Go into the next room there and
telP your troubles to' Mae. Give him the
symptoms of your ailing constituents, de
scribe accurately their temperature , while
Indulging In this Insurgent delirium, the
extent to which they have over-Indulged
in the disastrous tariff diet which Is being
served by the democrats; tell him how long
they hava been suffering from the delu
sion that the cost of living has Increased.
In faot, to us a medical expression, give
Mao the history of the case."
Representative McKlnley, known a the
political nurse of the republican campaign
committee, listened to the history of the
the speaker who had dropped Into the
office.
"Which Is more than can be said of
some of my insurgent friends," declared th
speaker, with a chuckle.
As a matter of fact Speaker Cannon Is
having a bully time In Washington right
now. For the first time In months hs can
sit In his office without th aver present
fear that while he has left a substitute
to preside over th house, Victor Murdock,
George Norrls and other insurgents will get
together with Champ Clark and put some
thing over on th house organisation.
Th speaker Is not th only man who Is
njoying th quiet of th capltol during
these hot summer days. He has found that
ther are enough of his old oronles In town
to keep him from getUng lonesome. They
drop around to th speaker's room, put on
of th speaker's special brand of cigars
to work and prooeed to enjoy themselves
Christ's Meeoad Cuming.
Much has been said and written concern
ing the next visit to this planet by the
Son of Jehovah. A number of theories are
advanced, gome think He comes at the
leath of each righteous person; some that
as will come to Salt Lake City In the
great American desert; others that he
comes to the seances held in the secret
chambers, presided over by the medium
or clairvoyant; while still others agree
with John the banished apoetle on the Isle
of Patmof, when he wrote about nineteen
hundred years ago, "Behold He cometh
with clouds and every eye shall see Him."
This same writer quotes, .hes word
from Chiefs own.Utfi,: .'it not your hearts
ba. "jf "fctei; y believe In God, believe also
Tn le, In my Father's house are many
mansions; If It were not so 1 would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will com again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there y may be
also."
Luke, the apostle and physician, tells us
in th book of Acts, "He was taken up; and
a cloud received Him out of their sight."
Hs also writes that two men In white,
(evidently angels) stood beside (th disci
ples) and said, "This same Jesus, which
is taken up from you into heaven, shall
so come in Ilk manner as ye hava seen
him go Into heaven."
He went away surrounded by a cloud,
doubtless composed of holy angels, for
we read In Revelation 14:14, "And I looked
and behold a whit oloud, -and upon the
cloud aat Ilk unto th Son of a man."
Again, "When th Son of man shall com
In his glory, nd 11 th holy angels with
him, then shall ba sit upon tha throne of
his glory." Matt. 28:31.
The personal coming of Christ In the
clouds with all th angelic host of heaven
and being visible to all living at that Ume
has been held aa a sacred truth by the
faithful of all ages. Jude tells us "And
I'VvV.
Iter. XiOtUe A. Spring, Fastor
Tenth Say Adrentlat Charon.
Enoch also, the seventh (generation) from
Adam, prophesied of these, saying, 'Behold,
the Lord cometh, with ten thousands of Hla
saints.'" And then he mentions one of the
objects of that grand event, vis.: "To exe
cute judgment upon all and to oonvlnce all
that are ungodly among them of all their
ungodly deeds which they have ungodly
committed, and ot all their hard speeches
which ungodly sinners have spoken against
him.
A still better object, however, will be
obtained. Taul speaks of this tn I Thess.,
4:16-17, as follows; "For the Lord Himself
shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel and with the
trump of God; and the dead In Christ shall
rise first. Then w which are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with
them In th clouds, to meet the Lord In
th air; and so shall we ever be with the
Lord." .
This great tWipany which no mnn can
number Includes all the righteous who are
living on the eftrih nt that tlmo and all
Christians who have died during the nearly
.000 years; reaching from the death of
rlghteoua Abel down to the limt saint that
dies prior to 1Mb wonderful and glorious
manifestation of Ui C hrist.
This great Innumerable host will toRfther
enter upon their Iouk looked for reward.
Tley will be taken 1 heaven, to the nian
slons which Christ is preparing for th
faithful. There they will apsnd 1.000 years
with Christ deciding how much punishment
each of the wicked shall receive flt the end
of that period; at which time fire comes
down from heaven and devours them;
burns them up root and branch; consumes
them as the stubble is consumed and as
the fat of lambs Is consumed Into smoke.
This Is the second death, which upon th
righteous has no power. That is the death
the wicked die as a result of their own per
sisted sins. The same fire purifies the
earth; andthen God brings it back to Its
Kdenlo beauty, even aa it was in the begin
ning before sin entered.
Not only the Bible writers, but many
other 'leading lights, among Ihcin th re
formers of tho sixteenth century, have
looked forward by faith to tho second com
ing of Christ as the consummation of their
hopes, and as their final reward. Martin
Luther thought U would como about 400
years from his time. While no man Is per
mitted to know the day nor the hour, Christ
Himself said. "When yo see all these things
(certain signs), know It is near; even at
the doors."
It Is very clear that It was to this glorious
event the Apostle Paul looked when he
said near the close of his life. "Henceforth
ther Is laid up for me a crown of right
eousness, which tho Lord the righteous
Judge, shall give at that day; and not to
me only, but unto all them also that lov
HIS appearing." I A. SPRING.

"Hello!" said the Boss of th Establish
ment with an airy lightness he waa far
from feeling.
He was late legitimately late, of course,
but as he never could tell how a woman
4s going to take such things, he had found
upon similar occasions that a debonair
obliviousness to the time of day was ths
best way of meeting the situation. .
The Boss' wife gave one long, sharp look
at her lord's countenance.
"He's tired, isn't he?" she asked in 'her
most cooing accents. "And he wants his
dinner. It will be ready in half a minute.
Luckily," she added, dropping Into the
tone of ordinary conversation, "when you
telephoned you would not be horn til
late. Mary hadn't, started tha dinner, so
everything Is Just right now. It's a shame
you hay to' work for all those men at
the of flee when they get sick. I suppose,
though, ther Isn't anybody els with abil
ity to do tha work," she concluded, with
conjugal complacency.
The Boss grinned a fatuous acknowledge
ment of this tribute to his intellectual
powers and sank Into a chair as his wife
took his hat and carried It away. ,
The Boas was tired very tired not so
much from extra exertion at the oflc as
from his journey uptown by easy stages.
which had followed the completion of his
toll. .!
He had feared that his wife, after the
way of women, might reproach him with
having lingered by the wayside and that
with her ususl keen sense or sense of
smell she would detect th res ion.
He had really forgotten the number of
reasons. '
One may imagine the Ross astonishment.
herefore, when he saw her returning to
his weary presence . with a large brown
bottle in on hand and an empty glass and
siphon In the other.
"Dear," ah said, "I really think you
need a little stimulant you took dreadfully

As she uttered .the fateful words the
Boss shivered. Even the sight of ths brown
bottle disgusted him, while the prospect of
having to take another drink In the midst
of the most unpleasant realisation that he
had already taken plenty was scorcMy to
be borne.
Yet what else could he do? To decline
might srouse suspicion, and suspicion would
prompt a wifely inquiry, compared with
wt Ich that of the moat subtle lawyer
would be clumsy and ineffective.
The Boss' mind, painfully concentrated
upon the singularly elusive syllables necta

That'a a good idea!" he exclaimed, sum

muster to his tones. "Just a little one!"
But the Boss' wife wss a generous little

delectation of her spouse, shs poured 'out
a drink the else of a 'longshoresman's four
fingers and thumb.'
"Here, doar," aha said. and. steeled to the
ordeal, the Boas gulped it down.
"My. what an awful face!" protested th
lady. "One would think It was medicine'
If I didn't know you better I'd believe you
didn't want it." she added, half reproach
fully. The Bosa stsrted! Was there an under

"Ont west I see they have started an an

Day,"- Bright aid announces, as the owl-like-offspring
enters to untap th pent-up
wisdom.
"They'll hav to mk It 'Papa's Night'
If they want to make a hit with the
schema In this little old burg." Bon declares.
"Th suooees of 'Mother's Day' gave rise
to th plan to devote on day also to th
men of th house," explains Father.
"It's all right for th skirts to go as far
as they Ilk In th daytime," says Bon,
"but I don't see where us men can put
over anything worth while when th sun
Is shining. That's when w hav to be on
th Job."
"All th men are supposed to wear a rose
on Father's Day, as th woman on their
day hav a whit carnation as a symbol,"
oontlnud Father.
"Mother, mother, pin a ros on mo,"
hums Bon. "But why th roT Ther Is

What's th matter with 'th poppy or

"Bom women interested In th idea
selected th flower, I believe," Father replies.
"I guess hubby would rather have wifle
pin a dollar bill on him than a bunch of
green stuff," asserts Son. "If they're dop
ing out Uils stunt to give the old man some
I fun, there are a lot of fin Ideas they might
spring. But I suppose they have figured
out some program to herd the men into a
hall and read patrlotlo poems, selections
from mothers' magazines on how to be a
kind and loving father and other cheerful
literature designed to drive a man to seek
liquid Inspiration."

appreciate him for something else than his
ability to pay the bills," Father resumes.
"Let 'em hand back a piece of the change
then after paying the rent and the butcher,"
Son suggests, "and Pop will be satisfied to
call off the 'Father's Day.' "
"They want to call attention, among other
things, to a father's place In the home,"
Father says.
"Leave It to the dames to dope out a
bunch of advice when they get the old man
cornered," observes Son. "I suppose they'll
show hi nr. how to wipe off his chin without
putting a r.apkln out f business; how to
carry on a conversation when company Is
bulging out the flat without putting his
foot In It, and a few other broken rules of
etiquette that worry married women."
"The proper training of children is one of
the Items down on the program.". Father
further elucidates.
"Hire a man from the soo who's good At
training animals," Son thinks might son
the problem of rearing the young.
"They hop to make the day educational
as well as commemorative of the good
deeds of men for the year," Father goes
on with much enthusiasm for the plan.
y "It any man present stubbed his toe or
fell off th water wagon in in xweive
months I suppose the dames will be right
on the Job with th liniment and tha
sponge to repair th damage," is Son's
surmise. - ,
"It is to be a day of general rejoicing and
thanksgiving on th part of th women for
the many blessings received from their
husbands during the year," Father avers.
"It may b Father's Day all right," says
Son, "but It looks to me as though th
women run It just th same as they do tha
other 384 days of th year. If hubby Is a
wise guy, he'll say, "Much obliged, but I'd
rather work and take mine cut in money.' "

he ? His Ire rose at th thought Was
it possible that his wife was kidding him?
While still trying the cheerful lady for
this awful crime of lese majeats In his
own mind his deliberations were Inter
rupted again.
"Dinner's ready!" announced th Boss'
wife, and eh placed her band caressingly
on the brown bottle.
"Won't you have ' Just one more teeny-1
weeny little bracer?" she asked Ingratla-1
tingly.
"I will-NOT!" the Boas fairly thundered.
"Don't you dare offer mi another diink

Then, a they walked back to th dining 1
room, he added, reproachfully: "I don't
Ilka to hear a . woman urging a man to
drink! I know you mean well, but, dear
don't ask me again!"
The Boss' voice quivered virtuously. His
wife seated herself across from him and
maintained a meek silence." Now and then,
however, a faint twinkle stirred ' th
placidity of her big, brown eyes.
The Boss was not oblivious of th twinkle.
All the evening It worried htm. All the
next day It came between him and his
work. "Did she know or did she not?" he
asked himself, with the monotonous re
iteration of a romantic young person con-;
suiting th only oraol that'a left to the
world the daisy. And like the romanUo
young person, he cheated a little to obtain
the desired result.
She dd not know, he finally decided.
And so hs went horn In a peaceful and
strictly teetotal frame of mind.

of the defeated lady herself.
